FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
LSB INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS IMPROVED OPERATING RESULTS
FOR THE 2017 THIRD QUARTER
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma…October 30, 2017… LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (“LSB” or the “Company”) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Third Quarter Highlights
| • | Net sales of $92.4 million for the third quarter of 2017, up from $80.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 |
| • | Net loss from continuing operations of $17.1 million for the third quarter of 2017, an improvement from a loss of $39.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA(1) from continuing operations of $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $26.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 |
“Our sales and adjusted EBITDA increased significantly compared to the third quarter of last year as a result of higher production levels at all three of our facilities,” stated Daniel Greenwell, LSB’s President and CEO. “The higher volumes were partially offset by continued softness in pricing for our products.”
“Overall, we were encouraged by the performance of our plants during the third quarter. Our Cherokee Facility ran at a 99% on-stream rate during the period, representing its fourth consecutive quarter with an on-stream rate in excess of 95%. El Dorado had an on-stream rate of approximately 91% at its ammonia plant in the third quarter, up from 87% in the second quarter of this year and 62% in the third quarter of last year, and averaged approximately 1,320 tons per day, or 15% above nameplate capacity. Earlier this month, we announced that the ammonia plant at El Dorado was taken out of service to address mechanical issues on a boiler and a heat exchanger. Those repairs were completed, and the plant was returned to service on October 22nd. At our Pryor Facility, the third quarter onstream rate, following the completion of a 17-day turnaround on July 21st, was 85%, up from 78% in the second quarter of this year and 70% in the third quarter last year. As we previously announced, Pryor was taken out of service towards the end of September to repair damage to electrical controls, wiring and piping that resulted from a minor fire at its ammonia plant. Those repairs are expected to be completed later this week. Additionally, the company decided to replace the process gas pre-heat system that was originally planned for the 2018 turnaround. We expect this work will be completed by the third week of November. As a result of this additional work and other work done during the outage, we do not anticipate having to perform a turnaround at the Pryor facility in 2018.”
Mr. Greenwell concluded, “As previously disclosed, we expect our fourth quarter results to have an adverse impact of approximately $7.0 million to $8.0 million of EBITDA from the downtime at Pryor and El Dorado. While we are disappointed by these recent operational issues, we continue to believe that our goal to achieve and sustain on-stream rates averaging approximately 95% at each of our three ammonia plants is achievable. We are currently in the process of upgrading our maintenance management system across all our facilities, which will provide us with improved predictive and preventative capabilities in terms of our ability to identify potential plant issues before they result in unplanned downtime incidents. Our goal is to have the upgrades in place by year end. We expect that higher on-stream rates, coupled with what we anticipate will be a stronger pricing environment, should lead to improved top and bottom line results for LSB in 2018, which should enable us to further enhance our financial position throughout the year.”

Comparison of 2017 to 2016 periods:
| • | Net sales of all our agricultural products increased during the quarter relative to the prior year period. The increase in sales volume of UAN and ammonia reflect higher on-stream rates and the resultant higher production at our Cherokee and Pryor Facilities in the third quarter of 2017 related to improved plant reliability and no scheduled turnaround at Cherokee in 2017. HDAN sales increased materially due to the success of our focused marketing and distribution strategy resulting in increased sales volumes. Higher volumes were partially offset by lower average selling prices for UAN and agricultural ammonia, as indicated in the table below. Net sales of industrial ammonia increased as a result of higher plant on-stream rates at El Dorado. Continued focus on expanding nitric acid and low density ammonium nitrate (LDAN) mining volumes have also contributed to increased sales versus prior year. Sales of nitric acid from the Baytown Facility were impacted by Hurricane Harvey but with minimal financial impact for the quarter. Continued lower trends in the mining industry also impacted AN solution volume versus the prior year period. |
| • | EBITDA from continuing operations increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the aforementioned higher sales volumes along with lower plant and lower selling, general and administrative costs. These factors were partially offset by the previously discussed declines in sales prices across our key products and higher natural gas feedstock costs. |

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
This news release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. These non-GAAP measures are calculated using GAAP amounts in our consolidated financial statements.
EBITDA Reconciliation
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization of property plant and equipment (which includes amortization of other assets and excludes interest included in amortization), less benefit for income taxes and income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. We believe that certain investors consider EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance. EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA for the periods indicated.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is reported to show the impact of one time/non-cash items such as, loss on sale of a business and other property and equipment, one-time income or fees, start-up/commissioning costs, certain fair market value adjustments, non-cash stock based compensation and severance costs. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain items. The following tables provide reconciliations of EBITDA excluding the impact of the supplementary adjustments. Our policy is to adjust for non-cash or non-recurring items that are greater than $0.5 million quarterly or cumulatively.
