Hexion Pro Forma Operations Financial Results
(amounts in millions)
On September 29, 2021, Hexion Holdings Corporation (“Hexion Holdings” or the “Company”), parent to Hexion Inc., announced its plan to separate into two independent companies (the "Spin").
To reflect certain pro forma financial results of the Spin, the Company prepared unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and notes thereto giving effect to the Company’s Spin and Filing for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the year ended December 31, 2020, the period July 2, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the period January 1, 2019 through July 1, 2019 and the year ended 2018, as described therein. This unaudited pro forma information is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

In the tables below, the Company has disclosed its pro forma unaudited net sales, Segment EBITDA (see definition below), capital expenditures and Net Working Capital (defined as accounts receivable and inventories less accounts payable) for the six months ended June, 30, 2021, the year ended December 31, 2020, the period July 2, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the period January 1, 2019 through July 1, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018. This unaudited pro forma financial information has not been prepared in accordance with Article 11.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses. Segment EBITDA is an important measure used by the Company's senior management and board of directors to evaluate operating results and allocate capital resources among segments. Segment EBITDA is also the profitability measure used to set management and executive incentive compensation goals. Corporate and Other primarily represents certain corporate, general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the other segments. Segment EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net (loss) income or other results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. See reconciliation of Segment EBITDA to net (loss) income included below.

Fresh Start Accounting Presentation for Fiscal Year 2019
Upon emerging from Chapter 11 on July 1, 2019 ("Effective Date") and qualifying for the application of fresh-start accounting, at the Effective Date, Hexion's assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values which, in some cases, were significantly different than amounts included in the Company's financial statements prior to the Effective Date. Accordingly, Hexion's financial condition and results of operations on and after the Effective Date are not directly comparable to our financial condition and results of operations prior to the Effective Date. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to the Effective Date. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, our management may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “seek” or “intend” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future events and conditions and are based on currently available financial, economic and competitive data and our current business plans. Actual results could vary materially depending on risks and uncertainties that may affect our operations, markets, services, prices and other factors as discussed in the Risk Factors section of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements as it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a weakening of global economic and financial conditions, interruptions in the supply of or increased cost of raw materials, the loss of, or difficulties with the further realization of, cost savings in connection with our strategic initiatives, the impact of our indebtedness, our failure to comply with financial covenants under our credit facilities or other debt, pricing actions by our competitors that could affect our operating margins, changes in governmental regulations and related compliance and litigation costs, uncertainties related to COVID-19 and the impact of our responses to it and the other factors listed in the Risk Factors section of our SEC filings. For a more detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, see the Risk Factors section of our most recent filings made with the SEC. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. The forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
