15 6 March 2018 | Evonik Q4 / FY 2017 Earnings Conference Call

Outlook 2018 Underlying assumptions for FY 2018 outlook

Resource Efficiency will continue the very successful

business performance of previous years. Further strong

volume growth should bring another perceptible rise in

earnings. In addition, earnings growth will be boosted by

additional earnings from Huber silica business

Nutrition & Care earnings expected slightly higher than

in previous year. Earnings will continue to develop

positively in majority of businesses. Sustained volume

growth and stable prices (yoy annual average) for amino

acids.

Further synergies from APD and Huber Silica

Contribution from efficiency enhancement program

Slight headwind from weaker US-Dollar

(2018E: 1.20 EUR/USD)

Earnings impact of slightly higher raw material prices

should balance out across portfolio as a whole, partly

through ability to recoup most of rises through selling

prices.

Good start in 2018 for Performance Materials expected.

In the remainder of the year, segment is unlikely to

achieve good level of 2017. Overall, earnings will not

achieve the prior-year level.

Additional indications for 2018

1. Including transaction effects (after hedging) and translation effects; before secondary / market effects | 2. Guidance for “Adj. net financial result” subject to interest rate fluctuations

which influence discounting effects on provisions

Synergies from acquisitions Additional synergies of ~€25 m (Synergies 2018e: ~€40 m; 2017: ~€15 m)

(APD Specialty Chemicals & Huber Silica)

Huber Additional adj. EBITDA of ~€30 m for further eight months of consolidation (closing Sept 1st 2017)

ROCE Above cost of capital (10.0% before taxes) and around the level of last year (2017: 11.2%)

Capex ~€1 bn (2017: €1,078 m)

Free cash flow Slightly above the level of 2017 (2017: €511 m)

EUR/USD 1.20 EUR/USD (2017: 1.13 EUR/USD)

EUR/USD sensitivity1 +/-1 USD cent = -/+ ~€8 m adj. EBITDA (FY basis)

Adj. EBITDA Services Slightly higher than in 2017 (2017: €123 m)

Adj. EBITDA Corporate / Others Slightly less negative than in 2017 (2017: -€346 m)

Adj. D&A ~€890 m (2017: €870 m); increase mainly due to new investments going on stream

Adj. net financial result2 ~-€190 m (2017: -€175 m); increase mainly due to hybrid bond issuance in July 2017

Adj. tax rate ~29% (2017: 29% including positive one-time effects from US tax reform in Q4, 31% without this one-time effect)

Segment outlook FY 2018

Nutrition & Care Resource Efficiency Performance Materials

We assume that earnings will continue

to develop positively in the majority of

businesses in the Nutrition & Care

segment.

As well as organic growth, we expect to

leverage additional positive earnings

effects from synergies resulting from the

integration of the Air Products business.

The annual average prices for essential

amino acids for animal nutrition are

expected to be stable compared with the

prior year. At the same time, we assume

sustained volume growth in this area.

Overall, in the Nutrition & Care segment

earnings are expected to be slightly

higher than in the previous year.

We also anticipate that the Resource

Efficiency segment will continue the

very successful business performance

of previous years.

Further strong volume growth should

bring another perceptible rise in

earnings.

In addition, earnings growth will be

boosted by additional earnings from the

Huber silica business and synergies

from the integration of the Air Products

and Huber businesses.

Performance Materials segment should

get off to a good start in 2018.

In addition to the measures already in

place to raise efficiency, the

continuation of the favorable

supply/demand situation, especially for

methacrylates, is proving beneficial.

In the remainder of the year, it is unlikely

to achieve the good level of 2017.

Overall, earnings in the Performance

Materials segment will not achieve the

prior-year level.

Capex 2018~€1 bn despite additional €150 m for Me6 plant

Capex development

Additional ~€150 m capex for Me6 plant in Singapore compared to prior

year (total Me6 spending in 2018: ~€300 m)

Overall lower capex in 2018 due to high capex discipline in form of

Coating Additives: Good performance driven by higher volumes and

ongoing strong demand from additives for waterborne coatings and

inks.

Crosslinkers: Market demand continues to be good, but overall

performance partly offset by increased acetone prices.

High Performance Polymers: Excellent performance due to higher

volumes with robust margins and strong demand for PA 12, mainly

from automotive and medical segment. Capacities running at high

utilization rates.

Silica: All Silica businesses with continued strong performance; next

consecutive strong quarter for Rubber Silica driven by high demand

especially in North & Latin America and overall high capacity utilization.

Health Care: Strong finish of the year across all product lines in Q4.

Comfort & Insulation: Continued solid performance and favorable

volume development, especially in Asia (despite MDI/TDI shortage at

some customers)

Baby Care: Low profitability levels persist due to ongoing unfavorable

global supply/demand situation. Termination of Acrylic Acid JV will

improve cost position going forward.

Animal Nutrition: Improved market sentiment in Methionine: step-wise

price increase throughout the quarter leading to sequentially higher

prices vs. Q3. As expected, Q4 with lower volumes vs. stronger Q3

level

MMA/ PMMA:

Ongoing healthy demand from automotive coatings and construction

continues. Supply remained tight also in Q4. New capacities in China

and Middle-East have not changed favorable S/D balance so far.

Molding Compounds (PMMA) with higher specialty volumes and prices.

MMA margin in Q1 persists on very attractive level, supply expected to

remain tight as a result of several announced maintenance shut downs.

Leaner cost base and full business strength to become visible and

contribute to attractive margins.

Performance Intermediates:

MTBE with strong demand against normal year end pattern.

Plasticizers (DINP) were solid with good volumes and margins in

Europe. 1-Butene with slightly lower margins after very healthy Q3.

Butadiene naphtha spread weaker in Q4.
