NEAR-TERM END MARKET OUTLOOK

==> picture [115 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

Strong underlying demand driven by new program adoption and increased consumer
preference for SUVs, pick-up trucks, electric and premium vehicles
20-25%
Specialty

Favorable housing fundamentals in the US and Europe driving strong B&C demand

Strong demand across markets, including electronics, container and painted products
5-10%
Aerospace

Do not expect significant improvement in CY21 as consumer air travel remains
restricted

Bookings improving but recovery could be prolonged and uneven
5-10%
