“During the first quarter, we completed our merger with PPG’s chemicals business and began the process of combining our two organizations,” said Paul Carrico, president and chief executive officer. “This week marks the successful completion of our first 100 days as Axiall, and I am proud of the attitude and level of engagement of everyone in the combined organization. We have made good progress on integrating the organization while maintaining a steady focus on safety, environmental stewardship, operational excellence and superior customer service. “In our first 100 days, we already have seen how this merger enhances Axiall’s scale and integration across the chlorovinyls chain and expands the benefits we expect to gain from low-cost natural gas in North America and growing global demand for our broadened product portfolio,” Carrico said. Chlorovinyls In the Chlorovinyls segment, first quarter 2013 net sales were $614.5 million compared to $329.5 million during the first quarter of 2012. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the sales contributed by the PPG chemicals business after the merger closed on January 28, 2013. This was partially offset by lower resin sales prices compared to the first quarter of 2012. The segment posted Adjusted EBITDA of $134.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $45.6 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The $88.6 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the contribution from the PPG chemicals business, partially offset by changes in the company’s ethylene supply portfolio that increased its ethylene costs as compared to industry prices for ethylene, several small unplanned manufacturing outages and lower VCM sales as operations and sales recovered from a December 2012 fire at PHH Monomers LLC (“PHH”), which was a VCM joint venture between the company and PPG until the merger closed. Building Products In the Building Products segment, net sales were $162.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $187.2 million recorded for the same quarter in the prior year. The net sales decrease was driven by lower sales volume partially due to winter weather in the first quarter of 2013 being less favorable for building and construction activity in the geographical areas where the company’s building products are primarily sold, as compared to the more favorable weather in those geographic areas in the first quarter of 2012. On a constant currency basis and adjusting for exiting the fence product line, net sales for the quarter were 11 percent lower compared to the first quarter of 2012. The segment's Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $3.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA during the same quarter of the prior year. The $5.9 million decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes. Aromatics In the Aromatics segment, net sales decreased to $284.5 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $343.2 million during the first quarter of 2012, due primarily to lower sales volumes for all products. During the first quarter of 2013, the segment recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $13.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $37.9 million during the same quarter in 2012. The $24.6 million decrease was primarily due to an inventory holding gain in the first quarter of 2012 that was larger than the inventory holding gain in the first quarter of 2013, as well as higher sales volumes in the first quarter of 2012. Merger with PPG’s chemicals business On January 28, 2013, the company completed its merger with the PPG chemicals business. The initial accounting for the transactions (including the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to acquired assets and assumed liabilities) is not complete given the limited amount of time since the closing date. As part of the merger, the company acquired the 50 percent interest of PHH that it did not previously own. The company recognized a gain of $23.5 million as a result of remeasuring the equity interest it held in PHH before the merger. During the first quarter of 2013, a fair value inventory purchase accounting adjustment related to the inventories acquired through the merger increased the cost of sales for the Chlorovinyls segment by approximately $10.2 million.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Axiall has supplemented its financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) that are set forth in this press release (the “Financial Statements”) with three non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, cash and non-cash restructuring charges and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on redemption and other debt costs, net, and sales of certain assets, certain purchase accounting and certain non-income tax reserve adjustments, professional fees related to a previously disclosed and withdrawn unsolicited offer and merger with PPG’s chemicals business, goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived asset impairments, and interest expense related to the OMERS lease-financing transaction); (ii) Adjusted Net Income; and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net income (loss) attributable to Axiall plus certain purchase accounting adjustments including: Cost of sales fair value of inventory, gains or losses on the acquisition of controlling interest; professional fees related to a previously disclosed and withdrawn unsolicited offer and merger with PPG’s chemicals business, goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived asset impairment charges (recoveries), gain or loss on the sale of assets, and gains or losses on redemption and other debt costs, net. Adjusted Earnings per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Axiall has supplemented the Financial Statements with Adjusted EBITDA because investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA as a main component of valuation analysis of cyclical companies such as Axiall. Axiall has supplemented the Financial Statements with Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share because investors commonly use financial measures such as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share as a component of performance and valuation analysis for companies, such as Axiall, that recently have engaged in transactions that result in non-recurring pre-tax charges or benefits that have a significant impact on the calculation of net income (loss) pursuant to GAAP, in order to approximate the amount of the net income (loss) that such a company would have achieved absent those non-recurring, transaction-related charges or benefits. In addition, Axiall has supplemented the Financial Statements with Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share because we believe these financial measures will be helpful to investors in approximating what Axiall’s net income (loss) would have been absent the impact of certain non-recurring, pre-tax charges and benefits related to the company’s merger with the PPG chemicals business, the company’s issuance of its 4.875 percent notes and the tender offer and related redemption of its 9 percent notes. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income or Adjusted Earnings per Share are measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), or GAAP diluted earnings per share, as a measure of performance or to cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Axiall determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share is included in the body of the press release. A reconciliation of Consolidated net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA is in the tables set forth below.
