"The increase in operating earnings primarily reflects the higher sales volume and the resulting leverage impact on our production costs from the higher demand. Raw material costs while increasing were not a large factor in this segment.

Building Block Chemicals Sales increase 74%; Operating Earnings improve to $4 million

"Building Block Chemicals selling volumes improved 47%, selling prices increased 22% and exchange rate changes increased sales by 6%. The main factor for the sales volume increase is improved acrylonitrile market conditions. Global supply remains tight and as a result our acrylonitrile plant essentially ran at capacity while in the first quarter of 2002 the plant ran at approximately 70% of capacity.

Mr. Cronin added, "First quarter cash flow generated by operations was $10 million and capital expenditures were $19 million.

Generally, accounts receivable refers to the total amount due and is considered in calculating the value of a business or the business' problems in paying  is up in line with the increased sales, inventory levels reflect the higher demand and are offset by the corresponding increase in accounts payable. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to renovation work on the Specialty Chemicals research facility. This project continues on schedule.

The annual expense in 2003 as a result of this new standard is expected to be approximately $2 million ($1.4 million after-tax or $0.04 per diluted share) and is reflected in our updated outlook for 2003.

Update on 2003 Outlook

Mr. Lilley commented, "Our momentum from the fourth quarter of last year continues and we are pleased with our strong first quarter results. However, there remains considerable uncertainty in the global economy. Natural gas costs in the United States and global oil prices, while at lower levels than earlier in the quarter, are still high continuing the upward bias on raw materials and this will have a significant adverse impact particularly in Specialty Chemicals.

In spite of the economic uncertainty the Cytec team continues to execute on the factors we can control. Our strong momentum plus our actions this quarter lead us to revise upwards our earnings per diluted share (EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) A PostScript file format used to transfer a graphic image between applications and platforms. EPS files contain PostScript code as well as an optional preview image in TIFF, WMF, PICT or EPSI, the latter being an ASCII-only format. ) guidance. In January 2003 we forecasted full year 2003 earnings per diluted share to be up approximately 5% over the 2002 adjusted EPS of $2.04. Assuming no further decline in the global economy except as indicated below, and taking into account our results for the first quarter of 2003 plus our anticipated lower effective tax rate, we now forecast full year EPS to be up approximately 10% over 2002's adjusted EPS of $2.04. The EPS forecast for 2003 includes the $0.04 per diluted share for the ongoing expense for the adoption of FAS 143 but excludes the associated cumulative effect charge as discussed by Mr. Cronin earlier. Our full year outlook for the individual segments follows.

"In the Water and Industrial Products segment, we project sales to increase about 6% with new products and geographical expansion accounting for 3% and the favorable impact of exchange rate changes accounting for the balance. However, our Operational Excellence initiatives plus the favorable impact of exchange rate changes will not be able to offset the headwinds from higher raw materials, particularly propylene and we now expect full year earnings to be down about 5-10% from 2002.

"For the Performance Products segment, we still anticipate overall market growth being flat. However through international expansion and new products, we expect sales to increase about another 3% and the favorable impact of exchange rate changes accounting for another 3%. The resulting profit and leverage from the higher sales and additional Operational Excellence programs should more than offset the higher than expected raw material costs derived from ammonia and methanol derivatives. The net result is that we now expect earnings to increase approximately 10% over the prior year.

"In Specialty Materials, the markets for commercial aircraft appear to be holding as expected although recent challenges to commercial air travel seem to indicate possible further weakness. We are remaining cautious in our estimate for this segment and are anticipating that the commercial aerospace market will soften. We have built into our revised estimate Revised estimate

The third estimate of GDP released about three months after the measurement period.
 some further reductions in demand for commuter and business jets. Our expectation now is for Specialty Materials 2003 sales to be flat year on year and earnings to be about 10%-12% lower than 2002 given a less favorable mix and increased expenses.

"In Building Block Chemicals, we forecast demand for 2003 to remain at the levels we experienced in the second half of 2002 and for most of our plants to be run generally at capacity levels. Raw material and energy costs are higher than we originally anticipated but selling prices are also higher. The net result of the above should be 2003 full year earnings to be in a range of $12-15 million.

Our guidance for earnings from our associated companies remains unchanged at about 20% over 2002. Our estimated effective tax rate for 2003 is reduced to 30% from 2002's 33.5%.

"Based on the above full year assumptions, the Company expects second quarter 2003 EPS to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.55. The Company will next update the 2003 outlook when it reports its second quarter 2003 operating results.

So we have begun 2003 with a strong start and continue our momentum, yet are flexible enough to react to the challenges of the global economy. In spite of this difficult and uncertain global economy we raised our projected adjusted EPS growth for 2003 to 10% over 2002. We remain vigilant to global events and their impact on Cytec but are focussed on the numerous growth opportunities and internal improvements still before us."
