Group revenue of million EUR represented a 19.7% rise compared to 3Q09, leading to nine month revenue of 1.8 billion EUR, 15.0% ahead of last year. Each of the reported operating segments had revenue above 2009 in both the quarter and year to date, principally due to volume growth. Furthermore, group REBITDA and REBIT were well ahead in the quarter and nine months of 2010, as margins continued to recover. The group s improved operating performance translated into a second consecutive quarterly profit, and profit for the nine months of 2010 added up to 28.1 million EUR, a significantly better result than a year ago. Tessenderlo Group made further progress in strengthening its financial position during the third quarter. Net financial debt fell further to million EUR 1, providing evidence of the group s efforts to keep a strong balance sheet. The group also extended its debt maturity profile, through the successful issue of 150 million EUR of 5 year bonds via a European private placement in October. 100 million EUR was originally sought; however, following the very positive market response the aggregate amount was raised to 150 million EUR, while pricing was set at 5.25%, the low end of the price guidance. In October, the group announced two investments to expand its presence in China. Firstly, Tessenderlo Group has entered into a joint venture for the production of high-quality gelatin to customers in the pharmaceutical, health and nutrition sectors. This investment represents the group s second production site in China, allowing to even better meet the strong demand for gelatin. Secondly, the group is investing to produce specialty compounds for customers in the automotive industry, as China is today the world s largest automotive manufacturer and continues to show rapid growth. Both sites are anticipated to start supplying customers in the second half of *The enclosed information constitutes regulated information as defined in the Royal Decree of 14 November 2007 regarding the duties of issuers of financial instruments which have been admitted for trading on a regulated market. 1 including impact of million EUR non-recourse factoring 1

3 OPERATING SEGMENT KEY FIGURES : REBITDA - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 Million EUR 9M10 9M Tessenderlo Group Inorganics PVC/Chlor-Alkali Gelatin and Akiolis Tessenderlo Kerley Plastic Pipe Systems and Profiles Other Businesses Non-allocated Revenue Third quarter 2010 group revenue totaled million EUR, a gain of 19.7% compared to 3Q09. As in 2Q10, all reported operating segments had higher revenue, year on year. Nearly a third of the group s increase was from Inorganics, which experienced revenue growth of 50.1%. Tessenderlo Kerley contributed with an increase of 50.8%, while the segments Gelatin and Akiolis, and Other Businesses both delivered another set of double digit gains, rising 14.2% and 24.6%, respectively. PVC/Chlor-Alkali moved 9.5% higher, and Plastic Pipe Systems and Profiles was 7.4% above last year. For the first nine months of 2010, group revenue has risen 15.0% versus last year to 1.8 billion EUR, with the second and third quarters featuring the highest growth. Every reported operating segment had higher revenue, most notably Inorganics which has increased each quarter and is up 43.6% compared to last year. Important contributions also came from Tessenderlo Kerley, 24.5% above a year ago; Gelatin and Akiolis which climbed 14.0%; and Other Businesses, which was 17.5% higher. In spite of decreases in the first quarter related to weak construction end markets, PVC/Chlor-Alkali has risen 5.9% year to date, while Plastic Pipe Systems and Profiles gained 4.2%. 2. REBITDA Group REBITDA in 3Q10 more than doubled to 45.6 million EUR. The most significant contribution was from Inorganics, which moved from a negative to a positive REBITDA as a result of volume and margin gains. Tessenderlo Kerley, Other Businesses and PVC/Chlor-Alkali also had better performances, with the latter two also posting a positive REBITDA result compared to negative REBITDA in 3Q09. Gelatin and Akiolis delivered REBITDA at the same level as last year. Plastic Pipe Systems and Profiles was negatively impacted by higher raw material prices, resulting in a lower REBITDA. After nine months of 2010, the group has generated REBITDA of million EUR, against 51.8 million EUR in the same period of Inorganics has had the biggest absolute REBITDA gains in each quarter versus last year, which provides the majority of the group REBITDA increase for 9M10. The reported segments Other Businesses, Tessenderlo Kerley and PVC/Chlor-Alkali have also had significant increases in REBITDA year to date. Plastic Pipe Systems and Profiles REBITDA is virtually unchanged for the nine months of 2010, whereas Gelatin and Akiolis has seen a limited decrease compared to the record REBITDA last year. 3. Cash flow from operating activities Cash flow from operating activities was 57.4 million EUR for the third quarter of 2010, and million EUR for the first nine months of 2010, versus million EUR in 3Q09 and million EUR for 9M09. Cash flow has benefited during 2010 from the broad-based recovery of operating results and continued gains from working capital. 3

4 4. Net financial debt Net financial debt at the end of September 2010 totaled million EUR. This low level of net debt remains below the million EUR at the end of December 2009, and is also down from the million EUR, the position at the end of September The decrease versus December 2009 is attributable to the positive impact of cash flow from operating activities, and an ongoing strict control of investing activities. As a result, at the end of September 2010 gearing was 18.3% (28.3% excluding non-recourse factoring), compared to 22.9% at the end of December 2009 (32.0% excluding non-recourse factoring). Net financial debt/last twelve months REBITDA fell to 1.1x at the end of September 2010, versus 3.3x at the end of December

5 Operating segments performance review INORGANICS - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 % change Million EUR 9M10 9M09 % change % Revenue % REBITDA REBIT Inorganics third quarter revenue of 94.0 million EUR, 50.1% above a year ago, provided further evidence of the rebound in volume activity. Potassium sulfate fertilizer revenue was the largest contributor, as year-on-year volume growth of nearly 140% was only partly offset by lower average selling prices. This growth confirms the group s expectations that volumes in 2010 should reach about 70 to 75% of a normal year. After the strong price decline in 2009, sales prices have been relatively stable during the whole of Also, in line with the Inorganics strategy, volumes of premium products continued to grow faster than total volumes, leading to better gross margins. Overall, gross profit increased mainly due to the improved gross margins, as well as higher volumes. For Animal feed phosphates, revenue also rose, as a result of continued volume growth as well as higher average selling prices. Although key raw material prices are above last year, gross margins improved, due to favorable supply economics and selling prices. Better unit gross margins and volumes drove a higher gross profit for the quarter. REBITDA for Inorganics in 3Q10 was strongly ahead of last year, mainly due to volume-driven gross profit growth. In addition, strict fixed cost controls remain in place, with year on year savings ensuring that the higher gross profits were retained. Year to date, Inorganics revenue of million EUR is 43.6% above last year, as a result of much higher volumes since the start of the year, while average sales prices have been below the levels of last year. The sustained increase of volumes, coupled with ongoing strict cost control have driven the strong recovery of REBITDA. PVC/CHLOR-ALKALI - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 % change Million EUR 9M10 9M09 % change % Revenue % REBITDA % REBIT Third quarter revenue for PVC/Chlor-Alkali of million EUR was 9.5% ahead of a year ago, due to higher PVC revenue, and similar to 2Q10. The growth of revenue in PVC year-on-year is attributable mainly to an increase in volumes, while selling prices were also above last year. 3Q10 PVC revenue was in line with 2Q10, as seasonally lower volumes were mainly compensated by firmer pricing. PVC gross profits could not match the high level achieved in 3Q09, when competitor supply issues lead to a temporary tight supply/demand balance. Sequentially, gross profits benefited from a modestly improving gross margin. Chlor-Alkali revenue for 3Q10 was marginally lower than last year and in line with 2Q10, as pricing and volume developments largely compensated each other. Gross profits were higher year-on-year mainly due to improving 3Q10 gross margins, which also translated into a limited sequential increase. REBITDA for the segment was again slightly positive, an improvement compared to last year, when a segment loss was incurred due to extremely weak Chlor-Alkali results. PVC/Chlor-Alkali revenue for the nine months of 2010 was million EUR, or 5.9% higher than 9M09 mainly because of higher volumes versus last year. Higher volumes and pricing above last year drove an increase in PVC revenue, whereas Chlor-Alkali revenue decreased due to lower average 5

6 pricing, which was not compensated by higher volumes. thanks to lower overhead costs. Segment REBITDA has improved mainly GELATIN AND AKIOLIS - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 % change Million EUR 9M10 9M09 % change % Revenue % REBITDA % % REBIT % Gelatin and Akiolis recorded good 3Q10 results, as revenue of million EUR was 14.2% higher than a year ago, and REBITDA was stable. Revenue growth was broad-based across the portfolio of products and services as well as geographies. This growth mainly reflected sustained demand in segment end markets such as food, health and nutrition, and pharmaceutical industries, while pricing showed some signs of improvement. Based on solid underlying global demand, the group will expand its global presence in 2011: construction of production facilities is proceeding both in Brazil and in China, where the group recently announced a joint venture to set up a second production unit. Segment REBITDA amounted to 15.5 million EUR, in line with last year. For the nine month period, Gelatin and Akiolis revenue is up 14.0% to million EUR. This increase includes the contribution from Groupe FISO, which has been fully consolidated since the end of June 2009, and higher underlying demand. REBITDA of 45.3 million EUR, which also benefited from the full consolidation of Groupe FISO, is slightly below the very strong result of 9M09. TESSENDERLO KERLEY - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 % change Million EUR 9M10 9M09 % change % Revenue % % REBITDA % % REBIT % Tessenderlo Kerley (TKI) had an exceptionally strong third quarter 2010, with revenue increasing 50.8% to 53.9 million EUR. The main driver was improved demand for liquid sulphur fertilizers versus a year ago. This was a result of fall applications in the northwest US, as well as channel partners continuing to purchase during the third quarter to ensure availability of product for the upcoming spring season. Demand was also solid for TKI s crop protection products compared to last year. Pricing remained generally firm and was above last year for most products. 3Q10 REBITDA benefited from volume growth as well as margins above last year for several products to finish well up on a year ago. Over the first nine months, Tessenderlo Kerley recorded revenue million EUR, 24.5% above the same period a year ago. Market demand for sulphur fertilizers and crop protection products has been very solid during the course of 2010, and combined with the addition in June 2009 of the Linuron product line to the crop protection business to drive this strong revenue result. REBITDA benefited from the higher revenue, as well as from the addition of the Linuron product line. 6

7 PLASTIC PIPE SYSTEMS AND PROFILES - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 % change Million EUR 9M10 9M09 % change % Revenue % % REBITDA % % REBIT % Revenue for Plastic Pipe Systems and Profiles was million EUR in 3Q10, 7.4% higher than 3Q09. This growth was mainly in Profiles, while Plastic Pipe Systems revenue had a modest increase. The rise in Plastic Pipe Systems revenue in 3Q10 was generated by gains in the UK and France, partly offset by a decline in the Benelux. Market demand in Belgium and the Netherlands has been below last year throughout 2010, however the rate of decline was less than in the previous two quarters. Profiles delivered another quarter of revenue growth, with nearly all markets higher than one year ago. The UK remained the largest contributor to the increase, mostly due to higher sales in the roofline segment, where the group enhanced its product offer with an acquisition in October US sales also continued to grow well. REBITDA for the segment was 13.3 million EUR or 10.6% lower than 3Q09. The main drivers of this performance were the impact of higher raw material prices, mainly in Profiles, and a negative geographic mix in Plastic Pipe Systems. Segment revenue year to date of million EUR represents a 4.2% increase. Growth in the second and third quarters has compensated the first quarter decrease, when the construction sector faced weather-related lower demand. Revenue for UK and US Profiles continued to underpin segment growth, while Plastic Pipe Systems remains slightly down year on year, due to the very slow start, especially in the Benelux. REBITDA of 37.9 million EUR for the nine month period is in line with last year, with strong raw material price increases being offset by fixed cost savings. OTHER BUSINESSES - unaudited 3Q10 3Q09 % change Million EUR 9M10 9M09 % change % Revenue % REBITDA REBIT Other Businesses (Organic chlorine derivatives, Pharmaceutical intermediates and Compounds operating segments), saw revenue rise 24.6% during the third quarter to 81.2 million EUR. Most of this increase was from Organic chlorine derivatives, however Pharmaceutical intermediates and Compounds also recorded higher revenue. REBITDA remained positive, based on a very strong increase in Organic chlorine derivatives. For the nine months, revenue of Other Businesses grew 17.5% to million EUR. Organic chlorine derivatives revenue has shown the most important increase, with Compounds rising solidly as well. Following 3Q10 growth after decreasing earlier in the year, Pharmaceutical intermediates revenue is marginally below last year. REBITDA remained positive compared to the very negative results last year, and each segment has improved over the nine months, with the largest contribution from Organic chlorine derivatives. 7

8 Financial information 1. Non-recurring items NON-RECURRING ITEMS Million EUR 3Q10 3Q09 Gain on disposals Restructuring Impairment losses Provisions - - Other income and expenses Total In 3Q10 no material non-recurring items were recorded. 2. Net finance costs In 3Q10, net finance costs amounted to 5.4 million EUR (3Q09: 3.1 million EUR). The higher net costs are mainly attributable to costs arising from the syndicated credit facility announced on March 1 st, as well as to charges of the non-recourse factoring program. These increases of charges more than offset the impact of the lower net financial debt. 3. Income tax expenses 3Q10 income tax expenses were 5.5 million EUR, versus 5.2 million EUR in the same period last year. The income tax expenses are mainly due on profits generated in the US activities. No deferred tax assets were recognized on the 3Q10 losses incurred by different subsidiaries within the group. 4. Profit/loss for the period Profit for the third quarter was 5.6 million EUR, compared to million EUR in the third quarter of As per 9M10 the group profit amounts to 28.1 million EUR compared to a loss of million EUR in 9M09. The positive result in the third quarter is entirely explained by the development of REBIT in the period (18.1 million EUR in 3Q10 against million EUR in the same period last year). 5. Capital expenditures Capital expenditures for the third quarter 2010 were 27.3 million EUR (3Q09: 30.4 million EUR) and 70.0 million EUR for the first nine months of 2010 (9M09: 82.6 million EUR). Outlook Allowing for seasonally lower volume activity, the group anticipates that the fourth quarter will show continued solid growth of group revenue and profitability compared to last year. The main drivers of these increases remain the recovery of demand for the group's products and services, and ongoing cost containment. Demand from agricultural end markets continues to be solid, while the construction markets still present a mixed picture in terms of demand and margins are experiencing pressure from higher raw material prices. 8
