Cautionary Statement
Our presentation today will include forward looking statements relating to the Companys future performance, goals, strategic actions
and initiatives and similar intentions and beliefs, including expectations, goals, beliefs, intentions and the like regarding future sales,
earnings, cash flow, share repurchases and other matters. These statements involve assumptions regarding Company operations,
investments and acquisitions and conditions in the markets the Company serves.  Although the Company believes its expectations are
based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including, among others, certain economic,
political
and
technological
factors.
Actual
results
could
differ
materially
from
those
stated
or
implied
during
this
review
or
contained
in
other Company communications due to, but not limited to, such factors as (1) declining global economic conditions, (2) changes in
pricing and the competitive environment and the global demand for our products, (3) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, (4)
changes in research funding and the success of research and development activities, (5) dependence on uninterrupted manufacturing
operations, (6) changes in the regulatory environment in which the Company operates, (7) changes in worldwide tax rates or tax
benefits
from
domestic
and
international
operations,
including
the
matter
described
in
Note
10
Income
Taxes
to
the
Consolidated
Financial
Statements
in
the
Company’s
Form
10-K
report
for
the
year
ended
December
31,
2009,
(8)
exposure
to
litigation,
including
product liability claims, (9) the ability to maintain adequate quality standards, (10) reliance on third party package delivery services, (11)
failure to achieve planned cost reductions in global supply chain initiatives and restructuring actions,  (12) an unanticipated increase in
interest
rates,
(13)
failure
of
planned
sales
initiatives
in
our
Research
and
SAFC
businesses,
(14)
other
changes
in
the
business
environment in which the Company operates, and (15) the outcome of the matters described in Note 11-Contingent Liabilities and
Commitments-in the Company’s Form 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company does not undertake any
obligation to publicly update the matters covered in this presentation.
With over 60% of sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, management uses currency-adjusted growth, and
believes
it
is
useful
to
investors,
to
judge
the
Company’s
controllable,
local
currency
performance.
Organic
sales
growth
data
presented
in
this
review
is
proforma
data
and
excludes
currency
impacts.
While
we
are
able
to
report
historical
currency
impacts
after
the
fact,
we
are unable to estimate changes that may occur later in 2010 to applicable exchange rates and thus are unable to reconcile the projected
non-GAAP currency adjusted internal growth rates to reported GAAP growth rates for 2010.  Any significant changes in currency
exchange rates would likely have a significant impact on our reported growth rates due to the volume of our sales denominated in
foreign currencies.
Management reports both GAAP and adjusted sales and income comparisons to reflect what it believes are ongoing and/or
comparable
operating
results
excluding
currency
impacts.
Management
excludes
this
item
in
judging
its
historical
performance
and
in
assessing
its
expected
future
performance.
Management
also
uses
free
cash
flow,
a
non-GAAP
measure,
to
judge
its
performance
and
ability
to
pursue
opportunities
that
enhance
shareholder
value.
Management
believes
this
non-GAAP
information
is
useful
to
investors
as well.  Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP information are included in the Company’s February 10, 2010 earnings release posted
on its website, www.sigma-aldrich.com

Market Dynamics
Pharmaceutical Biologics
Has become an established
production process in biological
pharmaceutical production
>10% anticipated growth for
the next 5 years
Technology is maturing,
but relative to Chemistry is:
Higher production cost by
a factor of 10
Modestly characterized
Less dependable
Cell line engineering enable significant improvement in productivity
and reliability of commercial therapeutic protein production

Cell Line Engineering with
ZFN Technology
Unique Capabilities and Benefits
ZFN versus traditional cell line engineering approach
Cut cell line development time by 50% (six months versus 12 months)
Ability to modify more than one gene simultaneously (trait stacking)
Enables cell line engineering for small to mid-sized biotech companies
and emerging biopharma
Customer Benefits
Increased cell growth and productivity
Enhanced efficacy and protein quality (glycosylation)
Increased knowledge of production systems (= reduced regulatory hurdles)
More reproducible production systems (= speed to the clinic)
Reduced host and viral proteins for ease of purification and safety
Shift our customers’
constraints to the molecule, not the production system
