The better than expected earnings were driven primarily by record performance from Advanced Composites.  Growth in composites and wire and cable applications more than offset lower sales and operating income in Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

In December, we acquired Magenta Master Fibers from BASF, which expanded our specialty colorant business for fiber applications, as well as grew our resources and presence in Europe and Asia. Thermoplastic composites include these base resins, but are combined with a structural filler such as glass, wood, carbon or polymer fibers to enhance strength, rigidity and structure. Note 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Magenta Master Fibers On December 9, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Magenta Master Fibers (Magenta), a leading innovative developer of specialty color concentrates for the global fiber industry, for approximately $18.3 million, net of cash acquired.
