<strong>Quarterly</strong> <strong>Results</strong>
Third Quarter 2011, 31 October 2011
<strong>Operationally</strong> on track, Süd-Chemie on target
Solid operational performance with differentiated demand picture from business to business,
strong headwind from currencies; Catalysis & Energy with the expected pick-up in sales.
Q3 sales up 25% in local currency and 9% in Swiss francs, driven by acquisitions and higher
sales prices.
Q3 EBITDA before exceptional items at CHF 216 million, down from CHF 232 million in the
previous-year period, negative currency impact of CHF 73 million.
Q3 EBITDA margin before exceptional items reached 11.6% compared to 13.6% a year ago;
13.4% at constant currencies
Q3 cash flow from operations turned positive at CHF 105 million compared to
CHF –101 million in Q2 2011 and CHF 173 million in Q3 2010
Outlook: Clariant expects a similar trading environment to the third quarter until year-end
2011, characterized by further softening demand, volatile currencies and stable raw material
costs. For the full-year 2011, Clariant confirms its guidance, with sales between CHF 7.0 and
7.2 billion and an EBITDA margin of 12.8% to 13.2%.
CEO Hariolf Kottmann commented: “In the first nine months of 2011, Clariant has further
progressed in making the achievements of the last two years sustainable, despite strong
headwinds from currency markets and a softening global economy. We have managed to
improve underlying profitability by consistently applying strict performance management while
at the same time shifting management focus toward profitable growth. From the solid base
achieved – both operationally and financially – we will move forward in our strategy
implementation and continue to transform Clariant in the coming years to achieve our
ambitious 2015 targets.”

Clariant Q3, 2011 Performance
2 as of 31 December 2010
Muttenz, 31 October 2011 – Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, today announced sales
of CHF 1.865 billion in the third quarter 2011, compared to CHF 1.709 billion in the previous
year. This includes Süd-Chemie (SC) sales of CHF 356 million. In local currencies, sales growth
amounted to 25%. In Swiss francs, year-on-year sales were only 9% higher as the Swiss franc
continued to strengthen against most major currencies especially in the first half of the third
quarter.
Sales growth was driven by higher prices and the acquisition of Süd-Chemie. The less cyclical Business
Units Additives, Catalysis & Energy, Functional Materials, Industrial & Consumer Specialties and Oil &
Mining Services – accounting for roughly 50% of group sales – showed the most dynamic growth. By
contrast, the slowdown in demand in the more cyclical businesses already observed in June has spread
along the plastics value chain and into the coatings business. Regionally, the traditional markets of
Europe and North America outpaced Asia/Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa. In the
emerging markets a slow-down in the dynamic growth of the last few quarters has been observed.

Excluding Süd-Chemie, sales increased by 5%, driven by a 9% increase in sales prices, while volumes
decreased 4% compared to the previous-year period as a result of a combination of softening demand in
some businesses and the deliberate loss of unprofitable contracts.
The gross margin fell to 26.1% from 27.9% a year ago, mainly due to the negative currency impact
and volume effects. In a slower global economic growth environment, commodity prices stabilized
during the quarter. As a consequence, raw material costs remained flat compared to the second
quarter 2011, but were 13% higher than in the previous-year period. As expected, increased raw
material costs were fully absorbed by higher sales prices, both year-on-year and sequentially.
EBITDA before exceptional items fell to CHF 216 million (margin 11.6%) from CHF 232 million
(margin 13.6%) a year ago. This was mainly the result of unfavorable currency developments
which peaked in the third quarter. Operating profit (EBIT) before exceptional items stood at CHF
144 million (margin 7.7%) compared to CHF 182 million (margin 10.6%) in the third quarter of
2010. Both EBITDA and EBIT before exceptional items were negatively impacted by CHF 73
million (EBITDA) and CHF 63 million (EBIT) respectively from currencies. Net income was CHF
81 million compared to CHF 109 million in the previous-year period.
Cash flow from operations improved to CHF 105 million, below last year’s CHF 173 million, but
clearly above the CHF –101 million reported in the second quarter of 2011. Due to lower sales,
Net Working Capital as a percentage of sales increased to 21.3% compared to 19.7% in the
previous-year period, but is on track to meet the year-end 2011 target of below 20% of sales.
Due to the acquisition of Süd-Chemie, net debt increased to CHF 1 812 million from CHF 126
million at year-end, resulting in a gearing (net debt divided by equity) of 62% at the end of the
third quarter of 2011. The cash position was strong with CHF 1.029 billion in cash and cash
equivalents at quarter-end. The extension of the maturity profile is underway with the issuance of
bonds totaling CHF 300 million in the Swiss francs market since May. After the reporting period,
another EUR 365 million in certificates of indebtedness with terms of three years and four and a
half years have been raised in October.

Süd-Chemie delivers, integration on track
In the first full quarter of consolidation into Clariant, the two new Süd-Chemie Business Units –
Catalysis & Energy and Functional Materials – developed according to plan, with the Catalysts
business picking-up in the third quarter as expected. Catalysis & Energy reported an EBITDA
before exceptionals of CHF 41 million (margin 21.6%), and Functional Materials CHF 18 million
(margin 10.8%).
The integration of Süd-Chemie is progressing as planned with all project teams fully operational.
Based on current insights and integration experience, the anticipated EUR 75-95 million EBITDA
improvements to 2013 are confirmed. Integration synergies and functional excellence efforts are
expected to lead to redundancy for some 700 FTE worldwide, primarily in G&A functions but also
from improvement measures in production. The implementation of the measures is expected in the
timeframe from 2012 to 2014 with a focus on 2012/13 once the squeeze-out becomes effective.
Going forward, the focus will be on the continued delivery of the business objectives of Süd-
Chemie while progressing with the integration and the squeeze-out process.
Outlook 2011
At the beginning of 2011, Clariant shifted its focus from restructuring to continuous improvement
and profitable growth. While the continuous improvement initiative “Clariant Excellence” will
make the competitive cost basis sustainable, the company is now focusing on creating value by
investing in future profitable growth.
In the fourth quarter, Clariant expects the general slow-down in economic activity to continue,
with clear signs of further weakness in demand in some regions and industries, especially in
Europe. Exchange rates for the major currencies are expected to remain volatile. Commodity
prices look set to stabilize at the level of the third quarter, leading to an increase in raw material
costs in the mid-teens in 2011 compared to 2010.
For 2011, Clariant – including eight months of consolidated Süd-Chemie figures – expects sales in
the range of CHF 7.0 to 7.2 billion and an EBITDA margin before exceptional items of 12.8% to
13.2%.

Sales in Industrial & Consumer Specialties (ICS) rose 16% in local currencies but declined 1% in Swiss
francs versus the same period in 2010. Demand for chemicals in the construction and industrial lubricants
industry was particularly strong. All regions contributed to the good result with strong double-digit sales
growth in local currencies in Europe and Asia. Sales growth continued to be very strong in China where
ICS has strengthened its market position with a new ethoxylation plant in Dayabay (South of Guangzhou,
China).
The Business Unit was able to increase its EBITDA margin compared to the previous year’s level despite
a substantial adverse currency effect. The margin increase was due to a positive contribution from an
improved mix effect, a better cost structure and higher sales prices that fully compensated for raw
material costs. ICS already saw initial sales of de-icing fluids in the third quarter as airports increased
their contingency inventories in order to prevent shortages of product in case of extreme weather
conditions.
ICS will continue to focus on innovative solutions and high value-added businesses. Of particular interest
is the Personal Care industry where Clariant has launched an array of new personal care innovations. ICS
will strengthen its position with an exclusive long-term partnership with KitoZyme, a leading edge
manufacturer of bio-polymers that meet the needs of Personal Care customers worldwide looking for
natural and sustainable ingredients.

In the Masterbatches Business Unit, sales were flat in local currencies. In Swiss francs, sales were
16% lower. Weaker underlying demand first experienced in the second quarter continued into the
third quarter as plastic converters responded to higher raw material costs and uncertain economic
conditions by reducing or delaying orders for masterbatches.
Sales growth was strongest in the Middle East region, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Additionally, China and Indonesia contributed positively to growth in Asia. Sales were flat in
North and Latin America, and were below the previous year’s level in Europe. The latter was
particularly impacted by the weak economic environment in Southern Europe.
The EBITDA margin declined in the third quarter compared to the same period of the previous
year as higher sales prices and improved productivity were not enough to compensate for the
negative currency impact and higher idle facility costs. Raw material costs for the business unit
remained at a high level but were fully compensated for by higher sales prices.
The Business Unit remains focused on growth opportunities in emerging markets. It will benefit
from expansion in the region Middle East with new production sites e.g. in Turkey as well as from
the expansion of existing sites (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan). Additionally, further capacity was added
to serve customers in Asia Pacific (China) and Latin America (Brazil). In Europe, the focus of the
Business Unit is on expanding into Eastern Europe and optimizing its existing production network
in Western Europe. In North America, two plants were consolidated to create a new state of the art
manufacturing facility in Chicago that produces both liquid and granular masterbatches.

Sales in Pigments were down 10% in local currencies and 24% lower in Swiss francs. In addition to a
high comparable base in Q3 2010 that was still boosted by the recovery in demand post 2009 recession,
the decline is partly due to destocking activities as customers purchased higher quantities in the first
half-year ahead of announced price increases and in order to secure supplies. Additionally, a softening
in global demand has been seen as customers further adjusted their supply-chain during the summer
season to the expected lower demand. Volumes were also impacted by the increased focus on high
value-added businesses. At the regional level, sales declined in all regions.
Most business lines were impacted by the softening demand, with a more pronounced decline in
Printing where the Business Unit continued to de-emphasize the commodity publication inks
application. In the high value-added markets such as non-impact printing, customers reduced
inventories. Sales in Coatings were down from a high comparable base in 2010 and also impacted by
high levels of inventories held by customers.
The EBITDA margin declined year-on-year, impacted by lower volumes and unfavorable currency
effects, partially compensated by the substantially improved cost structure of the business. The
Business Unit cost structure will be further improved by completing the exit from the Huningue site in
France in 2012. In addition, Pigments will continue to improve its cost structure and competitiveness
by implementing Clariant Excellence measures in its commercial and production processes.
The integration of the Italtinto point of sales tinting business into the Coatings segment is progressing
according to plan, allowing Pigments to execute its strategy to increase revenues downstream in the
value chain. Initial market reactions and incoming orders were promising, with a high degree of
interest from several customers in our tinting system technology.

Sales in Textile Chemicals were 8% below last year’s level in local currencies. In Swiss francs,
sales declined by 24%. Sales growth in local currencies was solid in North America and flat in
Europe as demand for technical textiles remained robust. Sales in Latin America and China
declined in the double-digit range as demand continued to be impacted by the high volatility in
cotton prices and softening demand in the apparel sector.
Amongst all Business Units, Textile Chemicals was by far the worst hit by the rapid appreciation
of the Swiss franc as it still has a substantial asset base in Switzerland, with its production plant in
Muttenz. Therefore, the Unit spent additional resources to accelerate the transfer of its production
to Asia. The Business Unit headquarters were transferred to Singapore in August 2011. The
relocation of the production plant to China and India will be accomplished in mid-2012, hence
earlier than originally planned. This move will clearly increase the competitiveness of the Business
Unit.
The EBITDA margin in the third quarter was slightly negative as the massive currency impact and
the decline in volumes could not be fully compensated by cost reductions. Higher sales prices
were, however, able to compensate for higher raw material costs.
Textile Chemicals will continue to focus on products that generate value for its customers. More
than twenty-five new products, processes and effect innovations were recently launched at the
industry-leading trade fair ITMA 2011 in Barcelona. Examples include a new durable,
environmentally-friendly flame retardant finishing for technical textiles and innovative heavy
metal-free acid dyes with high fastness properties, even in dark shades.

In the Oil & Mining Services (OMS) Business Unit, sales grew 29% in local currencies and 8% in
Swiss francs. Sales growth was strongest in the Middle East and North America, the latter
supported by the acquisition of Prairie Petro-Chem, but all other regions also experienced double-
digit sales growth. Latin America in particular improved as Brazil recovered from some weakness
in the second quarter.
Sales growth was driven by the Oil Services business line (around two-thirds of total sales) which
performed well in most regions with very strong growth in Asia/Pacific, the Middle East and North
America. In North America, Oil Services benefited from continued investments in unconventional
oil and gas development projects. In September, the Business Unit signed a major new contract
with Petrobras, helping OMS to strengthen its leading market position in Brazil.
Mining Services was impacted by the softening in global demand for minerals. The Business Unit
mitigated this effect by launching new products and technologies in collaboration with mining
companies.
The EBITDA margin improved compared to the same period of previous year as higher volumes
and higher sales prices were more than able to compensate for the adverse effects from currencies
and from raw material costs that persisted at high levels.
For the fourth quarter of 2011, Oil & Mining Services expects higher sales and profitability levels
compared to the third quarter, resulting from new contracts won, the start of the high season for
the refinery business, and a decreasing adverse impact of currencies.

Leather Services sales declined 1% in local currencies and 17% in Swiss francs compared to the
previous-year period. Demand from the automotive and luxury goods industry remained robust.
However, in the upholstery sector the trend for using alternative materials instead of leather
continued as raw hide costs remained high.
From a regional standpoint, sales growth in local currencies was robust in Europe and slightly
reduced in the Americas despite strong growth in the main market, i.e. Brazil. Sales in Asia were
down, still suffering from high raw hide prices. Sales to tanneries working for the Japanese
automotive sector have recovered to close to pre-earthquake levels. Leather Services was
successful in increasing sales prices and was able to compensate for higher raw material costs.
However, the Business Unit continues to be affected by adverse currency effects and lower
volumes due to the impact of high raw hide prices. As a consequence, the EBITDA margin
declined compared to the previous year’s level. For the fourth quarter, Leather Services expects
demand to stabilize and a less negative impact from currency.
The Business Unit will continue to focus on high value segments and on the introduction of new
services and value-added products such as the new chromium-free tanning technology (Easy
WhiteTan). In the future, Leather Service will focus its innovation activities and broaden its
product offering in this range of ecofriendly products in particular.

Sales in Performance Chemicals were 8% higher in local currencies than in the previous-year
period and 8% lower in Swiss francs. As in the previous quarters sales growth was driven by
Additives, which continued to contribute double-digit sales growth thanks to strong demand for
non-halogenated flame retardants and waxes. Detergents & Intermediates and Emulsions
contributed single-digit sales growth while sales in Paper Specialties were below previous-year
levels. Additives, Detergents & Intermediates and Emulsions were successful in increasing their
sales prices and fully compensating for higher raw material costs. Profitability in all four Business
Units was again negatively impacted by the strong appreciation of the Swiss franc.
The business environment for Additives was good with particularly strong growth in Asia/Pacific
and North America. Demand for non-halogenated flame-retardants continued to be very strong;
future demand will be addressed with a new production plant that will come into operation in mid-
2012. Detergents & Intermediates experienced solid demand in its intermediates business for
Agrochemicals and Pharmaceuticals, compensating for some softening in demand in Household
and Cleaning. Demand in Paper Specialties was lower compared to the second quarter of 2011 as
customers have reduced their output due to lower paper consumption. Additionally, profitability
was adversely affected by currency effects of the strong Swiss franc as well as by the high cost
base in Switzerland. Relocation of production from Switzerland to Spain and the United States has
therefore been accelerated and will be finalized by the end of 2011. Emulsions was able to
compensate for high raw material prices. Sales growth was quite strong in Latin America with
recovering demand in Brazil, whereas demand in the Middle East was weaker.

been reorganized into the business lines Adsorbents, Performance Packaging and Water Treatment.
Business discussion for the first nine months
Functional Materials moderately increased revenues and EBITDA during the first nine months of
2011 compared to the previous-year period.
Sales and EBITDA increased in Performance Packaging, driven by strong demand in Diagnostic
and Pharmaceuticals packaging. The EBITDA margin declined in Adsorbents as higher raw
material prices and transportation costs could not be fully compensated by higher sales prices.
EBITDA also declined in Water Treatment due to an unfavorable mix effect and higher raw
material costs. Functional Materials will continue to increase sales prices, especially in the
Adsorbents and Water Treatment businesses, to compensate for inflation in raw material and
transport costs.
A thorough discussion of the results for the first nine months is available in the Interim Report for

The Catalysis & Energy Business Unit – the former Catalysts business of Süd-Chemie – comprises
the business lines Catalytic Technologies and Energy & Environment. As of
1 July 2011, Catalysis & Energy has been reorganized into a mainly functional organization,
comprising the Battery Materials business line and the three Catalysis & Energy functions Sales &
Key Account Management, Operations and Research & Development.
Business discussion for the first nine months
Catalysis & Energy sales in euro were up 11% in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the
same period of the previous year; EBITDA for the first nine months was up by 22%.
As expected, sales picked up in the Catalysts business in the third quarter. Sales and EBITDA
increased, order intake was strong and most catalyst orders that had been postponed have been
realized. It is expected that the fourth quarter will, as usual, be the strongest for catalysts.
Catalysis was driven by a continuing strong momentum in sales of catalysts for air purification and
hydrogen production in fuel cells. Battery Materials also contributed to this marked business
expansion. To allow for an even accelerated market penetration, four sublicense agreements for the
highly innovative cathode material LFP (Lithium iron phosphate) have been signed. The new LFP
plant in Candiac, Canada, is already in the ramp-up process and will produce the first LFP material
according to schedule on 1 January 2012.
A thorough discussion of the results for the first nine months is available in the Interim Report for
