Trinseo S.A.
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
For the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017
Unless otherwise indicated or required by context, as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”), the term “Trinseo” refers to Trinseo S.A. (NYSE: TSE), a public limited liability company (société anonyme) existing under the laws of Luxembourg, and not its subsidiaries. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Trinseo and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a consolidated entity. All financial data provided in this Quarterly Report is the financial data of the Company, unless otherwise indicated.
Prior to the formation of the Company, our business was wholly owned by The Dow Chemical Company (together with other affiliates, “Dow”). In June 2010, investment funds advised or managed by affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain Capital”) acquired an ownership interest in our business through an indirect ownership interest in us. During 2016, Bain Capital Everest Manager Holding SCA (“the former Parent”), an affiliate of Bain Capital, sold its entire ownership interest in the Company pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement filed with the SEC.
Definitions of capitalized terms not defined herein appear in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may distribute cash to shareholders under Luxembourg law via repayments of equity or an allocation of statutory profits. Since the Company began paying dividends, all distributions have been considered repayments of equity under Luxembourg law.
Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are not statements of historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “likely,” “target,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “seek,” “attempt,” “should,” “could,” “would” or expressions of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s evaluation of information currently available and are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Specific factors that may impact performance or other predictions of future actions have, in many but not all cases, been identified in connection with specific forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2017 under Part I, Item IA— “Risk Factors”, and elsewhere within this Quarterly Report.
As a result of these or other factors, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Therefore, we caution you against relying on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Available Information
Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, are available free of charge through the Investor Relations section of our website, www.trinseo.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are electronically filed or furnished with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

TRINSEO S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Trinseo S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Because they cover interim periods, the statements and related notes to the financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements and, therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the 2016 audited consolidated financial statements included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2017.
The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented herein was derived from the Company’s December 31, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results. Refer to Note 12 for further information.
NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued guidance which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the FASB has issued certain clarifying updates to this guidance, which the Company will consider as part of our adoption, which will be effective as of January 1, 2018. The Company has completed its scoping assessment for the adoption of this guidance by conducting surveys with relevant stakeholders in the business, including commercial and finance leadership, reviewing a representative sample of revenue arrangements across all businesses, and identifying a set of applicable qualitative revenue recognition changes related to the new standard update. In completing this phase, the Company has concluded that it will adopt this new guidance applying the modified retrospective approach. The Company remains in the process of establishing and documenting key accounting policies, assessing new disclosure requirements, and evaluating impacts on business process, information technology, and controls, and determining the quantitative impact resulting from the adoption of this new standard.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”) test. NRV is calculated as the estimated selling price less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to leases that outlines a comprehensive lease accounting model and supersedes the current lease guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize on the consolidated balance sheets lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets for all leases with terms of greater than 12 months. It also changes the definition of a lease and expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. This new guidance is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance. However, as we are the lessee under various real estate, railcar, and other equipment leases, which we currently account for as operating leases, we anticipate an increase in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as a result of this adoption.
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance that aims to eliminate diversity in practice for how certain cash
9
receipts and payments are presented and classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows. This guidance is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance must be adopted using a retrospective approach, and provides for certain practical expedients. Additionally, the FASB has issued further guidance related to the presentation of restricted cash on the consolidated statements of cash flows. While the Company continues to assess the timing and related impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated statement of cash flows, the most significant expected impact on the Company’s financial statements will be the requirement to classify debt prepayment or extinguishment costs as financing cash outflows, as opposed to the Company’s prior classification of these types of costs within operating activities.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a business in order to assist in determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the new guidance, fewer transactions are expected to be accounted for as business combinations. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017. We expect this adoption could affect conclusions reached for future transactions in several areas, including acquisitions and disposals.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. As a result, a goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017, which did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance that requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same statement of operations line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are to be presented outside of any subtotal of operating income. This presentation amendment is relevant to the Company and will be applied on a retrospective basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its results of operations.
NOTE 3—INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had two joint ventures: Americas Styrenics LLC (“Americas Styrenics”, a styrene and polystyrene joint venture with Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP) and Sumika Styron Polycarbonate Limited (“Sumika Styron Polycarbonate”, a polycarbonate joint venture with Sumitomo Chemical Company Limited). Investments held in the unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity method. The results of Americas Styrenics are included within its own reporting segment, and the results of Sumika Styron Polycarbonate were included within the Basic Plastics reporting segment until the Company sold its 50% share of the entity in January 2017. Refer to the discussion below for further information about the sale of the Company’s share in Sumika Styron Polycarbonate during the first quarter of 2017.
Both of the unconsolidated affiliates are privately held companies; therefore, quoted market prices for their stock are not available. The summarized financial information of the Company’s unconsolidated affiliates is shown below. This table includes summarized financial information for Sumika Styron Polycarbonate through the date of sale in January 2017.

Americas Styrenics
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company’s investment in Americas Styrenics was $153.1 million and $149.7 million, which was $52.3 million and $71.2 million less than the Company’s 50% share of the underlying net assets of Americas Styrenics. This amount represents the difference between the book value of assets contributed to the joint venture at the time of formation (May 1, 2008) and the Company’s 50% share of the total recorded value of the joint venture’s assets and certain adjustments to conform with the Company’s accounting policies. This difference is being amortized over a weighted average remaining useful life of the contributed assets of approximately 3.3 years as of June 30, 2017. The Company received dividends from Americas Styrenics of $37.5
10
million and $45.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $30.0 million and $60.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
Sumika Styron Polycarbonate
On January 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its 50% share in Sumika Styron Polycarbonate to Sumitomo Chemical Company Limited for total sales proceeds of approximately $42.1 million. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on sale of $9.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which was included within “Other expense (income), net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and was allocated entirely to the Basic Plastics segment. In addition, the parties have entered into a long-term agreement to continue sourcing polycarbonate resin from Sumika Styron Polycarbonate to the Company’s Performance Plastics segment.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s investment in Sumika Styron Polycarbonate was $41.8 million. Due to the sale in January 2017, the Company no longer has an investment in Sumika Styron Polycarbonate as of June 30, 2017. The Company received dividends from Sumika Styron Polycarbonate of zero and $9.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to zero and $6.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The dividend received during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from Sumika Styron Polycarbonate related to the Company’s proportionate share of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s ongoing business operations expose it to various risks, including fluctuating foreign exchange rates. To manage these risks, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not hold or enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
Certain subsidiaries have assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their respective functional currencies, which creates foreign exchange risk. The Company’s principal strategy in managing its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to naturally hedge the foreign currency-denominated liabilities on our balance sheet against corresponding assets of the same currency such that any changes in liabilities due to fluctuations in exchange rates are offset by changes in their corresponding foreign currency assets. In order to further reduce its exposure, the Company also uses foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge the impact of the variability in exchange rates on our assets and liabilities denominated in certain foreign currencies. These derivative contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment.
12
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had open foreign exchange forward contracts with a notional U.S. dollar equivalent absolute value of $302.1 million. The following table displays the notional amounts of the most significant net foreign exchange hedge positions outstanding as of June 30, 2017.

Foreign Exchange Cash Flow Hedges
The Company also enters into forward contracts with the objective of managing the currency risk associated with forecasted U.S. dollar-denominated raw materials purchases by one of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is the euro. By entering into these forward contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges, the Company buys a designated amount of U.S. dollars and sells euros at the prevailing market rate to mitigate the risk associated with the fluctuations in the euro-to-U.S. dollar foreign currency exchange rates. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (“AOCI”) to the extent effective, and reclassified to cost of sales in the period during which the transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.
Open foreign exchange cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2017 have maturities occurring over a period of 18 months, and have a net notional U.S. dollar equivalent of $255.0 million.
Net Investment Hedge
The Company’s outstanding debt includes €375.0 million of Euro Notes (refer to Note 5 for details). As of June 30, 2017, the Company has designated a portion (€280 million) of the principal amount of these Euro Notes as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of the Issuers’ net investment in certain European subsidiaries. As this debt was deemed to be a highly effective hedge, changes in the Euro Notes’ carrying value resulting from fluctuations in the euro exchange rate were recorded as cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $10.2 million within AOCI as of June 30, 2017.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
