“I am pleased with our strong third-quarter performance as our teams continued to execute at a high level despite a dynamic operating environment. We delivered adjusted EPS of $1.67, an increase of 4% sequentially, driven by strong performance in our Performance Chemicals segment. In Performance Chemicals, segment EBIT increased 19% year-over-year, driven by higher volumes Page 1 of 7 Exhibit 99.1 and expanded unit margins. In Reinforcement Materials, segment EBIT declined 24% year-over-year, as higher volumes were more than offset by lower gross profit per ton. Overall, our results demonstrate the strength of our execution as we continue to navigate the current market conditions.”
