Demand (34) • Demand was down, but less than in previous
quarters, due to slowing pace of destocking
• Positive net price benefit:
o CAI – Pricing flat with favorable mix from
uptick in packaging and consumer end
markets and raw material deflation
o SEM - Pricing flat with favorable mix from
Composites and raw material deflation
• Cost reductions primarily driven by reduced
administrative costs and cost synergies
