The Board of Directors of Arkema met on 13th November 2014 to review the Group's consolidated accounts for 3 rd quarter 2014. At the end of the meeting, Thierry Le Hénaff, Chairman and CEO of Arkema, stated:

"In 3 rd quarter, the Group delivered a solid performance with an EBITDA margin close to 14%, demonstrating good resilience in overall contrasted market conditions. The High Performance Materials and Industrial Specialties segments, with 16% EBITDA margins, benefit from good volumes in the United States. The Coating Solutions segment was affected by lower acrylic margins which are currently close to low cycle.

With the announcement of the project to acquire 2 Bostik, the finalization of the construction of the Thiochemicals platform in Malaysia, and the acquisition from Jurong of a 160,000 tonnes acrylic acid production line, Arkema is completing a major investment phase. 2015 and subsequent years will benefit from these various projects. The Group thus enters a new phase of profitable growth with strong and regular cash generation."

3 RD QUARTER 2014 PERFORMANCE

Sales stood at €1,478 million against €1,495 million in 3rd quarter 2013, stable at constant business scope and exchange rates. In an environment of moderate global growth, volumes grew by 1.6% (+3.0% excluding the impact of the shutdown of activities in Chauny, France, effective 1st quarter 2014), mainly supported by Industrial Specialties and solid volumes in High Performance Materials. The Group continued to benefit from its strong position in the United States (36% of the Group's sales). The -1.7% price effect essentially corresponds to lower prices in Coating Solutions. The -1.1% scope effect reflects the deconsolidation of coating resins companies in South Africa divested in August and a change in consolidation method used for certain joint ventures. The currency exchange effect was negligible.

At €203 million against €233 million in 3rd quarter 2013, the EBITDA decrease mainly reflects market conditions now close to low cycle in acrylic monomers and the high basis of comparison in 2013 in polyamide 12. As announced, the performance in fluorogases was stable compared to last year. The other product lines achieved a good performance overall.

EBITDA margin held up well in a challenging economic environment and stood at 13.7%, stable compared to 2nd quarter 2014 despite the usual seasonality of July and August and lower acrylics margins.

Recurring operating income stood at €116 million against €154 million in 3rd quarter 2013. It reflects the variation of EBITDA and higher depreciation and amortization due primarily to the start-ups of new production plants.

Non-recurring items stood at -€43 million and mainly included restructuring charges, including those booked in relation to the project to shutdown fluorogas production on the Zaramillo site in Spain³ as well as costs related to acquisitions and divestments. In 3rd quarter 2013, non-recurring items mostly corresponded to restructuring and depreciation charges booked following the announcement of the project to shutdown of activities on the Chauny site in France effective early 2014.

Financial result stood at -€15 million against -€13 million in 3rd quarter 2013.

³ Project subject to the legal information and consultation procedure involving the personnel representative bodies of Arkema in Spain.

Income taxes amounted to €37 million, i.e. 31.9% of recurring operating income. It reflected the share of the Group's income achieved in the United States.

Net income Group share stood at €20 million against €65 million in 3rd quarter 2013.

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE IN 3 RD QUARTER 2014

HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIALS

Despite the usual seasonality of the summer months, High Performance Materials results improved significantly compared to 2nd quarter 2014 which had been impacted by a number of specific and temporarily unfavourable elements such as the maintenance turnaround in Mont, France. They confirm the stabilization of market conditions in polyamide 12 compared to the previous quarter. Nevertheless, performance remained down on the 3rd quarter 2013 high basis of comparison. Fluoropolymers achieved a strong performance supported by innovation. Organic Peroxides benefited from good volume growth. Finally, the product mix was temporarily less favourable in the Filtration and Adsorption business.

Sales reached €457 million, 1.5% up on the previous year at constant business scope and exchange rate. Volumes grew by +2.5% supported by the growth in the activities in the United States. The -1.0% price effect essentially reflects lower prices than last year in polyamide 12. The translation effect was limited, at -0.2%.

EBITDA stood at €75 million against €85 million in 3rd quarter 2013 (€67 million in 2nd quarter 2014). EBITDA margin reached a solid 16.4% despite more challenging market conditions.

INDUSTRIAL SPECIALTIES

For the first time since 1st quarter 2013, EBITDA in Industrial Specialties increased over last year's figure. This slight improvement reflects, as anticipated, stabilization in market conditions in fluorogases, which are similar to those of last year, and good performance in Thiochemicals. Market conditions were positive in PMMA in North America and in Europe, and the situation remained mixed in Hydrogen Peroxide, in particular in Europe.

At constant business scope and exchange rate, sales grew by 4.0% to €476 million compared to 3rd quarter 2013. Volumes increased by +4.5%, supported by fluorogases and Thiochemicals. The price effect was limited overall, at -0.5%, with price increases in PMMA offsetting the decrease in fluorogases. The -0.9% scope effect corresponds to a change in the consolidation method used for certain joint ventures.

EBITDA grew by 2.7% to €76 million compared to 3rd quarter 2013 (€74 million). EBITDA margin stood at 16%, stable compared to last year and up on the first two quarters of the year despite the seasonality of the summer months.

COATING SOLUTIONS

The performance of the Coating Solutions segment reflects, as expected, lower unit margins in acrylic monomers following the start-up of new production capacities in China. Market conditions in this activity were now close to their cycle low and should remain at this level through the end of the year. The performance of the other product lines was stable overall.

Sales stood at €540 million against €574 million in 3rd quarter 2013, down 3.9% at constant business scope and exchange rate. The volume effect was limited, at -0.7%. Excluding the impact of the shutdown of activities in Chauny, France, effective in 1st quarter 2014, it was positive at +2.9%. Volumes grew in Asia in Acrylics to prepare for the integration of Jurong's acrylics assets. However, demand remained moderate in paints in Europe. Acrylic monomer prices decreased in 3rd quarter with a -3.2% price effect. The -2.2% scope effect results from the deconsolidation of coating resins companies in South Africa, which were divested in August. The translation effect was very limited, at +0.2%.

EBITDA stood at €62 million (€79 million in 3rd quarter 2013), with EBITDA margin at 11.5%.

CASH FLOW AND NET DEBT AT 30TH SEPTEMBER 2014

In 3rd quarter 2014, Arkema generated +€61 million free cash flow⁴ . This included a +€56 million variation in working capital, -€19 million non-recurring items mostly corresponding to restructuring charges, and €107 million capital expenditures. The working capital to sales ratio⁵ stood at 18.0%. Capital expenditures included €23 million non-recurring capital expenditures mainly relating to the construction of the Thiochemicals platform in Malaysia. Capital expenditures should amount to around €470 million for full year 2014.

Net debt stood at €1,054 million at 30 September 2014 against €923 million at 31 December 2013, i.e. 42% gearing, below the 30 September 2013 figure (44%). It included the payment in May of a €1.85 dividend per share, totalling €117 million. It also included the share capital increase reserved for employees totalling €32 million. However, it took no account of the impact of the first stage of the acquisition of acrylics assets in China finalized on 20 October 2014 with a US\$240 million payment, and the impact of building the working capital that will be needed to run the activity.

3 RD QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS

Acquisition project of Bostik⁶

On 19 September 2014, Arkema announced the intended acquisition of Bostik, number 3 worldwide in adhesives. This project is a key milestone in Arkema's transformation into a world leader in specialty chemicals and advanced materials. This acquisition in the low cyclical and low capital intensive adhesives sector will enable Arkema to strengthen the quality of its business profile and its resilience to changes in the economic environment, and to continue developing its High Performance Materials segment, which should account for 42% of total sales⁷ following the acquisition of Bostik.

With sales of €1.53 billion⁸ and 4,900 employees, Bostik holds leading positions in most of its markets, has internationally recognized brands and technologies, fosters close partnerships with its customers, and is particularly well-placed to take advantage of the momentum of the adhesives market currently enjoying annual growth above global GDP.

Bostik's current pace of development together with the synergies identified between the two groups will contribute to improve Bostik's EBITDA margin, with the long-term objective to achieve an EBITDA margin of 14 to 15%, in line with peers' average. In the medium term, Arkema aims to increase Bostik's EBITDA by 30% over the next three years. This objective is based on accelerating the implementation of the strategy recently launched at Bostik, together with the implementation of cost synergies.

This project would also entail increasing the divestment program of non-core activities representing some €500 million additional sales.

The offer is made on the basis of a €1.74 billion enterprise value and will be financed through a share capital increase with preferential subscription rights for existing shareholders of around €350 million, a €700 million issuance of perpetual hybrid bonds completed on 23 October 2014, and a senior bond issuance for the balance, i.e. between €500 and €600 million. This financing structure has been defined in order to protect the Group's balance sheet and credit rating. The target is to go back to a gearing close to 40% in 2017.

Organic growth projects

End of July Arkema finalized its US\$110 million investment plan intended to strengthen the Group's position in the US acrylics market, with the start-up on its Clear Lake site of its new 45,000 tonnes plant for the production of methyl acrylate used in the manufacture of polymers for water treatment, elastomers and engineering polymers.

⁷Based on 2013 pro forma sales including the contribution of Bostik and acrylics assets acquired or which could be acquired in China (project for the acquisition in two stages of 320,000 t/year total production capacity).

⁸ Estimated figures for 2014 based on information made available to Arkema by the Total group as part of the acquisition process.

Proposed shutdown of fluorogas production in Zaramillo, Spain

Arkema announced in September 2014 a project for the closure of fluorogas production at its Zaramillo site, Spain, subject to the legal information and consultation process involving Arkema's personnel representative bodies in Spain.

Other highlights

As part of its procurement policy for its strategic raw materials, Arkema has reached an agreement for the supply of propylene in the United States with Enterprise Products L.P., a leading American midstream energy company. This contract will account for a significant part of Arkema's propylene feedstock, and will strengthen the competitiveness of the Coating Solutions segment.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

Acquisitions

Arkema has finalized the first stage of its acrylics assets acquisition project in Taixing, China, and now has access to a modern and competitive 160,000 t/year acrylic acid production capacity in Asia for an amount of US\$ 240 million. This investment will enable the Group to serve its customers in China and in Asia in growing markets such as superabsorbents, paints, adhesives and water treatment.

Financing

On 23 October 2014, Arkema successfully completed the first stage of the financing of its project to acquire⁹ Bostik, with the issuance of perpetual hybrid bonds for €700 million. The bonds will include a first call on 29 October 2020 and will carry an annual coupon of 4.75% until that date. The coupon will then be reset every 5 years. The bonds will be recognized in equity in accordance with IFRS rules.

On 29 October 2014, Arkema renewed its multi-currency credit facility from €700 million previously to €900 million. This credit facility is for an initial period of 5 years and may be extended for a further one or two years at the banks' option. It entails a covenant to maintain at 3.5 maximum the ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA, tested twice a year.

OUTLOOK

The macro-economic environment is expected to remain globally challenging up until the end of the year with contrasting trends depending on product lines and regions and a continuing volatility in foreign exchange rates and oil prices. Market conditions in fluorogases and polyamide 12 should remain stable and in line with those of the 3rd quarter. Unit margins in acrylic monomers should remain near low cycle. Finally, the 4th quarter should reflect the traditional year-end seasonality.

In the current environment, Arkema maintains a strict control of fixed and variable costs. The Group also continues its targeted growth strategy with the integration of the acrylics assets acquired in China, the startup of the Thiochemicals platform in Malaysia, the gradual implementation of its plan to improve fluorogas profitability, and the progress of its project to acquire¹⁰ Bostik including its financing.

In this context and while remaining cautious given the volatility of the macro-economic environment, Arkema confirms its 2014 target of an EBITDA close to €800 million. The Group also confirms its 2017 target, adjusted in September 2014 to take account of the project to acquire Bostik, to achieve €1,310 million EBITDA, as well as its long-term targets.

An Investor Day will be planned in 1st half 2015 following the closing of the acquisition of Bostik and the first few months of the ramping-up of the new 160,000 t/year acrylic acid production line in China and of the Thiochemicals platform in Malaysia.
