Dow reports first quarter 2020 results
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
GAAP earnings per share was $0.32; Operating EPS¹ was $0.59. Operating EPS excludes significant items in the quarter, totaling $0.27 per share, related to restructuring and asset related charges; early extinguishment of debt; and integration and separation costs.
Net sales were $9.8 billion, down 11% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period, primarily driven by lower local prices in all operating segments due to a decline in global energy prices.
Volume declined 2% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period, and decreased 1% excluding the Hydrocarbons and Energy business. Demand grew in food, health and hygiene packaging; surfactants and solvents for cleaning; and coatings end-markets. However, these gains were more than offset by declines in polyurethanes and silicones applications, including automotive and durable goods. Sequentially, the Company reported broadly lower volumes in China on slower economic activity with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health interventions.
Local price declined 8% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting lower global energy prices. Currency decreased sales by 1%.
Equity losses were $89 million versus equity losses of $14 million in the year-ago period. The decline was primarily driven by lower results at the Kuwait and Thai joint ventures on margin compression in their key products, including monoethylene glycol (MEG) and polyethylene.
GAAP Net Income from continuing operations was $258 million. Operating EBIT1 was $843 million, down from a pro forma result of $1.1 billion in the year-ago period, reflecting margin compression, notably in the polyurethanes and silicones chains, as well as lower equity earnings. The decline was softened by pockets of demand growth and more than $30 million of savings from stranded cost removal.
Cash provided by operating activities – continuing ops. was $1.2 billion, up $193 million versus the year-ago period. Capital expenditures were $395 million and free cash flow2 was $841 million. Dow recovered $259 million in tax withholdings from the Canadian tax authority related to the 2019 judgment against Nova Chemicals.
Returns to shareholders totaled $643 million in the quarter, including $518 million in dividends and $125 million in share repurchases.
Total cash and available committed liquidity at quarter-end was approximately $12 billion. Cash and equivalents of $3.6 billion included $800 million of cash proactively accessed from uncommitted lines. Early in the quarter, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of €2.25 billion in Euro denominated notes, achieving a weighted average coupon of approximately 1%. The Company used the net proceeds to redeem existing notes and repay debt. As a result, the Company has no substantive long-term debt due until the second half of 2023.
The Sadara joint venture signed its final logistics service agreement, the final substantive step to project completion.

CEO QUOTE
Jim Fitterling, chairman and chief executive officer, commented on the quarter:
“I am proud of the Dow team’s determination and resilience in the midst of the global pandemic and rapid decline in global energy prices. We ensured the safety and security of our people and operations, maintained business continuity, and rapidly established an effective crisis management response. We showcased the necessity and value of our products as we met strong demand from our customers in food packaging, health and hygiene, and cleaning end-markets. And, we leveraged our extensive geographic reach and asset flexibility to quickly respond to shifting trends in regional consumption, as well as in feedstock prices, as crude oil prices declined 60% through the quarter.

“Our volumes and operating rates reflected divergent demand patterns, as we met increasing needs for consumer staple non-durable goods, which countered lower requirements for discretionary durable goods. We also experienced margin compression in our upstream polyurethanes and silicones chains on weaker industry fundamentals. We partly offset the headwinds with stranded cost removal, effectively managing our working capital, and demonstrating our operational responsiveness and agility.

“We ended the first quarter with $12 billion of committed liquidity, including $3.6 billion in cash, and an improved debt profile. Our results reflected continued prioritization of a flexible capital structure, solid cash flow generation, and execution on our non-operational cash actions. We delivered $1.2 billion in cash from continuing operations. Free cash flow improved by $240 million, supported by controls on expense and capital spending and additional stranded cost removal. Altogether, our operational playbook remained flexible to the dynamic business environment, and it continued to serve us well in navigating the challenges and volatility we experienced in the quarter.”

Equity Earnings$ $38  $(33) $27  $(22) 

Packaging & Specialty Plastics net sales were $4.6 billion, down 10% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period. Volume was flat, as growth in packaging applications was offset by lower ethylene sales from increased internal derivative consumption. Local price declined 9%, and currency decreased net sales by 1%.

Equity earnings for the segment were $5 million, down from pro forma equity earnings of $38 million in the year-ago period. The decline was driven by lower earnings from the Thai and Kuwait joint ventures.

Operating EBIT was $580 million, down from a pro forma result of $690 million in the year-ago period. Lower polyethylene margins and reduced equity earnings more than offset stranded cost savings and volume gains in packaging applications.

Packaging and Specialty Plastics reported a net sales decline, driven by reduced polyethylene product prices. Volume grew 1% as gains in Asia Pacific and Latin America more than offset declines in U.S. & Canada and Europe, Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI). The business reported strong demand growth in Asia Pacific despite volume in China being impacted by a temporary demand reduction related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The strongest end-market growth was reported in health and hygiene, rigid packaging, and flexible food and specialty packaging applications.

Hydrocarbons & Energy reported a decline in net sales with decreases in volume, price and currency. Volume declines were driven by lower ethylene sales from increased internal derivative consumption. Price declines were driven by lower global energy prices. During the quarter, the business completed planned maintenance activity at its Texas-9 cracker, which expanded the facility’s annual capacity by 500,000 metric tons to 2 million metric tons.

Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure net sales were $3.0 billion, down 13% versus pro forma results in the year-ago period. Volume declined 3%, as growth in Industrial Solutions was more than offset by declines in Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals. Local price decreased 9%, and currency decreased net sales by 1%.

Equity losses for the segment were $76 million, down from pro forma equity losses of $48 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to margin compression in MEG at the Kuwait joint ventures.

Operating EBIT was $175 million, down from a pro forma result of $277 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to softer demand and margin compression in polyurethanes applications and lower equity earnings. Fixed costs including planned maintenance turnaround costs were lower.

Polyurethanes & Construction Chemicals reported a net sales decline on reductions in local price and volume. Local price decreased on lower global energy costs. Volume declined in all geographic regions except EMEAI, which was up slightly. Demand fell in furniture and bedding, automotive and appliance applications. Mild winter weather in the northern hemisphere led to lower demand in aircraft deicing applications. The largest percentage volume decline was reported in Asia Pacific, particularly in China, which was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Industrial Solutions reported lower net sales, primarily driven by local price declines in all geographic regions due to lower global energy prices. This was partially offset by volume growth in all geographic regions except EMEAI, which reported a modest decline. Demand strengthened in surfactants and solvents for cleaning applications, while demand declined in oil and gas applications.

Dow reports first quarter 2020 results

Consumer Solutions reported a decrease in net sales due to local price and volume declines. Prices in downstream silicone applications were more resilient; however, upstream siloxane prices declined further as a result of additional industry supply. Demand growth in upstream siloxanes as well as home and personal care end-markets in the U.S. & Canada was more than offset by volume declines in other regions, which included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia Pacific. The business also continued to see volume growth in differentiated building and infrastructure applications.

Coatings & Performance Monomers reported lower net sales largely due to declines in local price, which were partly offset by volume growth. Local price declined in all geographic regions due to lower upstream raw material prices. Coatings volume grew in the U.S. & Canada, driven by the business’ industrial coatings applications, primarily road markings and wood coatings. This growth was more than offset by reduced architectural coatings demand in Asia Pacific and EMEAI, driven by impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Performance Monomers reported demand growth in all geographic regions except EMEAI, which declined modestly.


OUTLOOK

“While we are beginning to see indications of a recovery from COVID-19 in China, the full extent of the impact of the pandemic in other major geographies is still being determined as the virus continues to spread,” said Fitterling. “Assuming a gradual and sustainable return of global economic activity and reopening of economies in May and June, we expect a recovery will begin to take hold as the year progresses.

“We are taking immediate and additional proactive measures to further strengthen our financial position. These actions include: further reducing our capital expenditure target to $1.25 billion, representing a $750 million reduction versus 2019; trimming operating expenses by $350 million; and unlocking another $500 million from working capital. In addition, we are temporarily idling select manufacturing units to balance production to demand across markets more severely affected by restrained economic activity. Operationally, we will continue to take advantage of our global footprint and industry-leading asset capabilities, remain close to our customers, and ensure availability of products essential to consumers and instrumental to containing the global pandemic, such as hand sanitizer and materials for personal protective equipment.

“We are proud of the critical role our company and industry continue to play during these extraordinary times. And, we are confident that the actions we are taking will position Dow to emerge even stronger when the global economy rebounds.”

Separation from DowDuPont
On April 1, 2019, DowDuPont Inc. ("DowDuPont" and effective June 3, 2019, n/k/a DuPont de Nemours, Inc. or "DuPont") completed the separation of its materials science business and Dow Inc. became the direct parent company of The Dow Chemical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("TDCC" and together with Dow Inc., "Dow" or the "Company"), owning all of the outstanding common shares of TDCC. For filings related to the period commencing April 1, 2019 and thereafter, TDCC was deemed the predecessor to Dow Inc., and the historical results of TDCC are deemed the historical results of Dow Inc. for periods prior to and including March 31, 2019. The information in this report reflects the results of Dow and its consolidated subsidiaries, after giving effect to the distribution to DowDuPont of TDCC’s agricultural sciences business (“AgCo”) and specialty products business (“SpecCo”) and the receipt of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and its consolidated subsidiaries' (“Historical DuPont”) ethylene and ethylene copolymers business (other than its ethylene acrylic elastomers business) ("ECP").

The separation was contemplated by the merger of equals transaction effective August 31, 2017, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2015, as amended on March 31, 2017. TDCC and Historical DuPont each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont and, as a result, TDCC and Historical DuPont became subsidiaries of DowDuPont (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, TDCC and Historical DuPont engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps to realign their businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. Dow Inc. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of DowDuPont to serve as the holding company for the materials science business.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
In order to provide the most meaningful comparison of results of operations and results by segment, supplemental unaudited pro forma financial information has been included in the following financial schedules. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the consolidated financial statements of TDCC, adjusted to give effect to the separation from DowDuPont as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 pro forma adjustments have been made for (1) the margin impact of various manufacturing, supply and service related agreements entered into with DuPont and Corteva in connection with the separation which provide for different pricing than the historical intercompany and intracompany pricing practices of TDCC and Historical DuPont and (2) the elimination of the impact of events directly attributable to the Merger, internal reorganization and business realignment, separation, distribution and other related transactions (e.g., one-time transaction costs). The results for the three months ended March 31, 2020, are presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Dow's results of operations actually would have been had the separation from DowDuPont been completed as of January 1, 2017, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Dow. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect restructuring or integration activities or other costs following the separation from DowDuPont that may be incurred to achieve cost or growth synergies of Dow. For further information on the unaudited pro forma financial information, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 3, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures include the Company's pro forma consolidated results and pro forma earnings per share on an adjusted basis. Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the Company's segments, including allocating resources. Dow's management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year-over-year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as alternatives to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Non-GAAP measures included in this release are defined below. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures section starting on page 13. Dow does not provide forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measures or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, unusual gains and losses, foreign currency exchange gains or losses and potential future asset impairments, as well as discrete taxable events, without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on U.S. GAAP results for the guidance period.
