29July 2014 Chemicals / Specially Eastman Chemical 02 Results Eastman reported Q2 EPS of $1.92, up 7%, and $0.08 or 4% above consensus of $1.84. A lower than expected tax rate added $0.01.

EBIT fell 3% to $441MM while margins compressed 70bps YoY (+130 O°O) to 17.9% amid higher propane costs. Eastman reaffirmed '14 EPS guidance of $6.70-$7.00, up 4-9% YoY (consensus: $6.93). Additives & Functional Products sales rose 5% on 4% higher volumes on improved coatings demand (building and construction, transportation).

Adhesives & Plasticizers sales rose 6% on 9% higher volumes partially offset by 4% lower price. EBIT rose 12% to $56MM (cons: $45MM) as adhesive demand appears to have turned the corner following last year's sharp declines and a shift towards Eastman's non-phthalate plasticizers owing to substitution away from phthalate plasticizers.
