Air Products to Sell Performance Materials Division of its Materials Technologies Segment to Evonik for $3.8 Billion; Intends to Spin-Off the Electronic Materials Division of its Materials Technologies Segment to Shareholders as Versum Materials

Fri, 06 May 2016 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products (NYSE:APD), a world-leading industrial gases company, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement today to sell the Performance Materials Division (PMD) of its Materials Technologies segment to Evonik Industries AG (EVK.DE), a world leader in specialty chemicals and materials, for $3.8 billion in cash.

The sale of PMD is expected to close before the end of 2016, and is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, operational facilities, supplier contracts, labs, contracts, customers, and employees and certain legal entities associated with PMD would transfer to Evonik. Evonik intends to continue to run PMD from Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Air Products also intends to spin-off its Electronic Materials Division (EMD) to shareholders as a separate public company, called Versum Materials. Air Products is on track to separate EMD by the end of September 2016 and will continue to evaluate whether debt and equity market conditions are favorable for a tax-free spin-off.

Air Products has been consistently executing against its strategic, Five-Point Plan, which includes focusing on industrial gases and taking actions on non-core businesses. In September 2015, the Company announced plans to separate Materials Technologies, which includes PMD and EMD.

“The sale of PMD is consistent with the long-term strategy for Air Products that we announced in September 2014,” said Air Products’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Seifi Ghasemi. “I am very pleased that PMD has a great future ahead of it as a core business of a company which is even larger than Air Products.

“As for the balance of our Materials Technologies segment, I am also very excited about the future of EMD, which we currently intend to spin-off as a new, world-class public company named Versum Materials. Guillermo Novo will be the CEO of the new company, and I will be non-executive chairman of Versum Materials while maintaining my current roles at Air Products.

“As a result of these moves, Air Products will be in an even stronger position to take advantage of the exciting investment opportunities to grow our core Industrial Gases business,” Ghasemi said.

PMD generated $1.04 billion in revenue and $241 million of Adjusted EBITDA over the last twelve months ending March 31, 2016*. PMD had $244 million of Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2015*.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s reasonable expectations and assumptions as of the date of this release. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements because of many factors not anticipated by management, including, without limitation, additional timing required to consummate the proposed sale of PMD; inability to satisfy the conditions to closing of the proposed sale of PMD; the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed sale of PMD is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or other events that prevent the closing of the proposed transaction from occurring; the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of Air Products’ and Evonik’s Performance Materials divisions; the effects of the business combination, including the combined company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; expected synergies and other benefits from the proposed transaction and the ability of Evonik to realize such synergies and other benefits; the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals necessary to effect the spin-off of EMD, our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the spin-off, negative effects of the announcement or the consummation of the proposed spin-off on the market price of the Company’s common stock, significant transaction costs and or unknown liabilities, general economic and business conditions that affect the companies in connection with the proposed spin-off, changes in capital market conditions, future opportunities that the Company’s board may determine present greater potential to increase shareholder value than spin-off, the ability of our companies to operate independently following the spin-off; the impact of credit rating agencies or tax authority actions or other factors on the cash proceeds the Company expects to derive from the transactions; and other risk factors described in the Company's Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated)

The news release includes discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is intended to enhance the usefulness of financial information by providing measures which management uses internally to evaluate our operating performance.

We use non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance by excluding certain disclosed items that we believe are not representative of our underlying business. We believe non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with meaningful information to understand our underlying operating results and to analyze financial and business trends. Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, should not be viewed in isolation, are not a substitute for GAAP measures, and have limitations which include but are not limited to:

Depreciation and amortization represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of the plant, equipment, and intangible assets which permit us to manufacture and/or market our products.
Other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

A reader may find any one or all of these items important in evaluating our performance. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them only to supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. In evaluating these financial measures, the reader should be aware that we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation in the future.

Presented below are reconciliations of the GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures:

Was die Ausgewogenheit unseres Segments Material Technologies betrifft, freue ich mich auch auf die Zukunft von EMD, für das derzeit Pläne für ein Spin-Off als neue Aktiengesellschaft von Weltklasse mit dem Namen Versum Materials bestehen. CEO des neuen Unternehmens wird Guillermo Novo sein. Ich selbst werde als nicht-geschäftsführender Vorsitzender von Versum Materials agieren, wobei ich meine aktuellen Positionen bei Air Products beibehalte.

Ergebnis dieser Verschiebungen wird eine gestärkte Position für Air Products sein, mit der es die großen Investitionsmöglichkeiten nutzen und das Wachstum unseres Kerngeschäfts Industriegase fördern kann“, sagt Ghasemi.

Air Products’ Versum Materials™ to Showcase InuMax Advanced Retinol Delivery System at NYSCC Suppliers Day 2016

Wed, 04 May 2016 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products’ (NYSE:APD) Versum Materials™ will be highlighting its innovative InuMax Advanced Retinol Cosmetic Active during the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists’ (NYSCC) Suppliers Day event, May 10-11, in booth 311 at the New Jersey Convention Center, Edison, N.J.

The new InuMax Advanced Retinol Delivery System is based on newly developed InuMax technology, which is designed specifically to demonstrate excellent ingredient delivery and stability performance where higher-active loads are preferred.

Retinol is among the most well-known and well-studied cosmetic ingredients available to formulators that design anti-aging products. Brands are increasingly differentiating their products through retinol use-level claims, such as “contains x% retinol.” Formulating such systems can present unique challenges that many retinol solutions were not optimized to address. High retinol levels elevate the risk of skin irritation, can lead more readily to yellowing of a formulation, and can elevate consumer expectations of efficacy.

The InuMax Advanced Retinol product was created specifically to help address these concerns. It can provide a high degree of retinol stability, and notably lower skin irritation, while enabling delivery of a high load of retinol to the deeper skin layers to encourage the appearance of more youthful skin.

Versum Materials is the Selected Name for the Materials Technologies Business Spin-off of Air Products

Thu, 05 Nov 2015 00:00:00 -0500

Versum Materials has been selected as the new company name for the Materials Technologies business of Air Products (NYSE: APD). Air Products announced plans in September for a tax-free spin-off of this business to U.S. shareholders on or before September 2016.

Derived from the Latin word for “toward,” the name “Versum” communicates the new company’s ability to continuously move toward materials, which is core to its own business, and provide cutting-edge solutions and innovation. The name also communicates the company’s critical role in helping customers advance their products and businesses by providing market-leading technology, innovation and valuable, reliable service.

“This is an exciting time as these Materials Technologies market-leading businesses move closer to becoming a separate publicly-owned and traded company with a distinct identity, brand and purpose. Once complete, this separation will provide our new shareholders with ownership in two leading and focused companies while offering the opportunity to value our Industrial Gases and Materials Technologies businesses independently,” said Seifi Ghasemi, chairman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) at Air Products. Upon completion of the separation, Ghasemi will continue his role with Air Products and also become the non-executive chairman of Versum Materials.

As previously announced, Guillermo Novo, currently the executive vice president of Materials Technologies, will become Versum Materials’ CEO at the completion of the spin-off. “We look forward to the opportunity to operate as an independent, specialty materials company under the name of Versum Materials. We will take some of the culture of our heritage with Air Products and build on it in our own core marketplace. As we move forward, we aim to deliver profitable growth to Versum Materials’ shareholders by innovating for our customers, maximizing our profitability and driving to realize our strong growth prospects, while continuing to rapidly respond to changing market dynamics,” said Novo.

“As our new name suggests, we will help our customers and employees move ‘toward’ their goals with confidence and purpose. From the electronics industry to the performance materials end markets we serve, we’re passionate about working closely with customers to help advance their products and technologies around the world,” added Novo.

Additional details about Versum Materials’ progress toward becoming a new company will become available at airproducts.com while the new company’s website is developed.

Air Products’ Materials Technologies business is global, delivering specialty solutions focused within niche markets, holding leading positions in most of its end-markets and focused on innovation-driven solutions. For fiscal year 2015, Materials Technologies had sales of approximately $2.1 billion and EBITDA margins in excess of 27%.

The business employs approximately 3,300 employees and operates in more than 12 countries across the globe. Its Electronic Materials Division provides tailored solutions and materials to customers in the semiconductor industry, while the Performance Materials Division provides epoxy additives, polyurethane additives and specialty additives to the construction, composites, adhesives, coatings and other industries.

Air Products Launches New InuMax Advanced Retinol Delivery System at the California SCC Suppliers Day 2015

Thu, 15 Oct 2015 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products’ (NYSE:APD) Materials Technologies segment will launch InuMax Advanced Retinol Cosmetic Active, a novel solution for high-load retinol delivery, at the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) California Chapter Suppliers Day tradeshow in Long Beach, California, on October 14-15. This unique offering is based on Air Products’ newly developed InuMax technology, designed specifically to demonstrate excellent ingredient delivery and stability performance where higher-actives loads are preferred.

Retinol is among the most well-known and well-studied cosmetic ingredients available to formulators designing anti-aging products. Consumers have come to trust retinol as a solution to improve the appearance of their skin. Increasingly, brands are differentiating their products through retinol use-level claims, such as “Contains 0.3% Retinol” in Europe or “Contains 1% Retinol” in the United States. Such claims are particularly important for products targeting the professional, spa, and dermatological markets in order to reinforce their clinical, high-performing nature.

Formulating such systems can present unique challenges that many retinol solutions were not optimized to address. Our new InuMax Advanced Retinol technology reduces the risk of skin irritation with high retinol levels and eliminates the yellowing of a formulation. Air Products’ new InuMax delivery technology addresses these gaps, and the InuMax Advanced Retinol product was created specifically to help address these concerns. It provides a high degree of retinol stability and notably lower skin irritation, while enabling delivery of a high load of retinol to the deeper skin layers to improve product performance for our customers.

“Our new InuMax Advanced Retinol solution can help brands focus on performance by going beyond just retinol stability and irritation reduction; it leverages an innovative, new technology that offers excellent performance in delivering retinol to deeper skin layers, providing multiple benefits that make it an outstanding value proposition for cosmetic products aiming to fulfill consumer expectations through use-level claims,” said Arnoldo Fonseca, Americas marketing manager for the Personal Care business.

InuMax technology is part of a growing portfolio of delivery system technologies for cosmetic applications by the Materials Technologies Additives business. These proprietary technology platforms are able to target skin sites that range from the skin surface to within skin cells. Leveraging these technologies, the business offers over 80 active and functional commercial ingredients to the personal care industry, including those under the ROVISOME®, Cellular Actives™, Intelimer®, and Deposilk® brands. These technologies are also employed in customer-specific solutions.

Air Products (NYSE: APD) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the intention to fully separate its Materials Technologies business via a tax-free spin-off to its shareholders.

“I am very pleased that our Board of Directors has approved this strategic move.

We believe a tax-free spin-off of the Materials Technologies business will create significant shareholder value,” said Seifi Ghasemi, chairman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) at Air Products.

This strategic decision will allow Air Products’ Industrial Gases and the Materials Technologies businesses to leverage their respective critical competencies and enhance their competitive positions. The Company believes the result of the spin-off will be two best-in-class public companies with distinct business models, capital requirements and growth profiles. The spin-off decision was made after an extensive review examining the strategic options for the Materials Technologies business by Air Products’ Board of Directors and management.

“The intent to separate is consistent with our management philosophy and the five-point plan we have discussed on many occasions over the past year and emphasized at our Investor Conference. It will allow us to take another step in pursuit of our ultimate goal, to become the safest and most profitable industrial gas company in the world, providing excellent service to our customers,” said Ghasemi.

“The timing for this action is excellent and we look forward to the opportunity to operate as a stand-alone company focused on specialty materials. We already have a portfolio of world-class businesses with leading positions and sustainable competitive advantages in attractive niche markets. Our management team has demonstrated the ability to innovate, improve our underlying performance and rapidly respond to changing market dynamics to deliver profitable growth,” said Guillermo Novo, executive vice president – Materials Technologies.

Novo will be CEO of the yet-to-be-named company at the completion of the spin-off. Ghasemi will be the non-executive chairman of the new company, while maintaining his current roles as chairman, president and CEO of Air Products.

Air Products to Introduce ROVISOME® NG Series Cosmetic Actives at NYSCC Suppliers Day 2015

Wed, 06 May 2015 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products’ (NYSE:APD) Materials Technologies segment will introduce its new ROVISOME® NG cosmetic actives at the 2015 New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC) Suppliers Day in New Jersey from May 12-13. ROVISOME NG products are Materials Technologies’ newest offering to the personal care arena. This new line of products offers formulators the high performing profile they expect from ROVISOME materials, but has a more label-friendly alternative for ingredient-conscious consumers.

The new ROVISOME NG technology enables the delivery of active ingredients into deeper layers of the skin, driving greater levels of active ingredient performance in a similar way as established ROVISOME cosmetic actives. The main difference lies in the composition of ROVISOME NG products—by avoiding solvents like ethanol and glycol, these materials are more amenable for use in some consumer products.

At the NYSCC Suppliers Day, Air Products will launch four new ingredients that utilize the ROVISOME NG technology:

ROVISOME® AHA (Sodium Lactate) NG cosmetic active, for a skin-renewing appearance through enhanced moisturization;
ROVISOME® Defense NG cosmetic active, for skin soothing protection from environmental aggressors;
ROVISOME® HA NG cosmetic actives, for increased skin moisture that can help improve the appearance of wrinkles; and
ROVISOME® Q10 NG cosmetic actives, for deep skin protection from free radicals.

These new ROVISOME NG cosmetic actives have been shown to provide demonstrable performance while possessing a more label-friendly composition.

ROVISOME NG cosmetic actives are part of the Air Products Materials Technologies segment’s growing set of personal care-focused technologies that have positioned the company as a specialist in delivery systems technology for cosmetic applications. Its proprietary technology platforms can target skin sites that range from the skin surface to within skin cells. Leveraging these technologies, the business offers over 80 active and functional commercial ingredients, including those under the ROVISOME®, Cellular Actives™, Intelimer®, and Deposilk® brands. These technologies are also employed in customer-specific solutions.

Tue, 01 Apr 2014 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products (NYSE:APD) today introduced its new OxyForce™ cellular active at In-Cosmetics in Hamburg, Germany. OxyForce cellular active is a high-performance energizing solution formulated to enhance the supply of molecular oxygen to skin cells.

OxyForce cellular active is part of Air Products’ personal care platform that was launched in 2006. Since that time, the business has grown to be acknowledged as a specialist in delivery systems technology for cosmetic applications. Its proprietary technology platforms are able to target skin sites that range from the skin surface to within skin cells.

Air Products to Launch Dermohydrine™ Cellular Active at
In-Cosmetics 2013

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products (NYSE:APD) will launch its new Dermohydrine™ cellular active at next week’s In-Cosmetics 2013 in Paris. Dermohydrine cellular active provides personal care formulators with an effective, high-performing moisturizing solution that can meet the natural ingredient demands of today’s consumers.

Dermohydrine cellular active is the newest addition to Air Products’ high performing ROVI cosmetic active ingredient portfolio. These ingredients utilize advanced and multi-faced delivery technologies to address defined and consumer-desired performance attributes. Product families within this portfolio include Cellular Actives™, ROVISOME™, CERASOME™, and Nanosome™ cosmetic active ingredients.

Dermohydrine cellular active provides natural extracts to enhance the moisture retention levels of the skin. In vivo panel tests demonstrated excellent improvement in the hydration level of the skin. This improvement was generally as good as that provided by traditional, expensive high-performing moisturizers like hyaluronic acid. In addition, Dermohydrine cellular active is a natural ingredient.

“Skin moisturization is an important part of consumers’ daily skincare routines, and our new, scientifically-based solution can help formulators deliver a cost-effective and natural solution to their customers,” said Solomon Lemma, global business manager for Personal Care at Air Products.

Air Products acquired ROVI cosmetic active ingredients through its purchase of ROVI Cosmetics in February 2012, adding technically advanced product lines to complement Air Products’ existing polymer and delivery technology portfolio. Well-known products under the ROVI portfolio include AquaPront™ cellular active for reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, Epiprotectyl® UV cellular active for hair sun protection, Herbapurifine™ cellular active for benefits including sebum control, ProContour™ cellular active for skin tone, Unitone™ cellular active for skin brightening, and Vivendin™ cellular active for general skin appearance benefits.

Air Products Debuts Deposilk™ Q1 Polymer at In-Cosmetics 2011

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400

Air Products (NYSE:APD) will launch its new Deposilk™Q1 Polymer at In-Cosmetics in Milan, Italy on March 29. Deposilk Q1 Polymer provides personal care formulations with a silky and smooth feel while enhancing deposition of silicone and other ingredients on skin or hair.

Air Products’ Deposilk polymers are a new platform of chemistries focused on enhancing both the feel and functionality of personal care formulations. The first commercial offering of this platform, Deposilk Q1 Polymer is a new material that can significantly improve the deposition of silicone and active ingredients while at the same time enhancing overall feel and sensory aesthetics.

“Increasing awareness and sophistication of consumers over the last few years have led them to demand products that provide both a quantitative and qualitative performance benefit, and our Deposilk Q1 Polymer can help by addressing the challenge of making silicones and other actives more effective while providing a feel that consumers can enjoy,” said Solomon Lemma, global business manager for Personal Care at Air Products.

Driving these benefits is a unique polymer composition that has been optimized for silicone delivery and sensory benefits. Deposilk Q1 also has been shown effective in the deposition of challenging anti-aging and water-soluble personal care actives. The material is widely compatible and is able to deliver deposition and sensory benefits across both low and high pH systems, as well as within surfactant-based systems. It is also able to keep a relatively more stable rheology profile across these systems than some common industry benchmarks, as well as provide emulsion stabilization benefits in some contexts. Its mild nature and film-forming properties help further make it applicable to contemporary formulation needs.

Formulators can look forward to leverage better the full conditioning, carrier and emoliency benefits of silicones, particularly in surfactant and wash-off related applications where much silicone is lost down the drain. Coupled with improved deposition of actives, personal care products may experience better performance and efficacy that consumers notice. At the same time, formulators may be able to reduce levels of silicone and sensory agents, offering a simpler formulation composition that consumers might perceive as less objectionable. Its general compatibility across different systems also offers the potential for better feel consistency across application categories.

In addition to its new Deposilk polymer offering, Air Products will be marketing its entire line of personal care polymers, including Intelimer® polymers and Hybridur® materials at booth T75 at In-Cosmetics in Milan from March 29-31. Intelimer polymers are thermal-sensitive materials able to quickly change rheology, film strength and other properties based on a rapid melt transition, enabling formulators to use temperature as a variable in shaping the feel and functionality of their formulations. Hybridur materials are urethane-acrylic pure hybrid polymers that can provide strong water resistance, robust dispersion of ingredients, and high durability.

Gemini Technology Forms Basis for Air Products' Surfynol® MD-20 & Surfynol® MD-30 Molecular Defoamer Products

Thu, 28 Oct 2004 00:00:00 -0400

Two molecular defoaming products based on Gemini surfactant technology developed by Air Products (NYSE: APD) for use in a broad array of applications are providing formulators with the way to achieve a flat, smooth, defect free coating. Surfynol^® MD-20 and Surfynol^® MD-30 defoaming agents together present formulators with an answer to the challenges presented by microfoam and macrofoam in their finished product. These two Surfynol defoamer products are being featured by Air Products this week at the International Coatings Expo being held October 27-29 at McCormick Place North in Chicago, Ill.

"In the formulation process microfoam entrained in the system, and the macrofoam appearing on the surface, can create craters, pin hole or fish-eye defects in a surface coating," said Mark Sutovich, marketing manager–Graphic Arts for Air Products. "Foam presents unique challenges and undesirable coating defects if not addressed in the formulation stage. MD-20 and MD-30 work in tandem to knockdown and knockout both micro and macrofoam. There are definite synergies between these two products which are attractive to the customer."

Specifically, Surfynol MD-20 defoamer combats microfoam, while Surfynol MD-30 defoamer's expertise is addressing macrofoam. The two products are molecular defoamers that are surface active and break foam at the molecular level by attacking the different mechanisms of foam stabilization. Both Surfynol MD-20 and MD-30 defoamers are silicone and hydrophobic silica free.

"Conventional defoamers utilize incompatibility to attempt to control foam, but this creates surface issues and sets the stage for a coating with defects. It creates a cycle where formulators must add other surface active components to eliminate the surface defects created by conventional defoamers. Molecular defoamers like MD-20 and MD-30 utilize surface activity at a molecular level to allow for defect free foam control. They allow formulators to reduce overall additive levels and break that cycle by working in a complimentary fashion," said Sutovich.

Surfynol MD-20 and MD-30 defoamers are multi-functional products that have other performance attributes beyond just knockdown foam control. The pair, both in clear liquid form, exhibit high marks in other important areas such as defoamer longevity, wetting defect reduction, ease of handling, and also have wide compounding latitude.

These multifunctional defoamers have a long list of potential waterborne system applications. These many uses include: coatings for automotive, OEM and DIY wood, industrial maintenance, metal and paper, and architectural coatings; graphic arts for printing inks, overprint varnishes and fountain solutions; adhesives, dye and pigment synthesis, pigment grinding, oil and gas processing, cleaning products, semiconductor cleaning and processing, metalworking fluids, cements, mortars and grouts, and personal care.
