Segment Analysis for 1Q14 Compared to 1Q13
Advanced Materials
The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices and favorable sales mix. Sales volumes decreased in our base resins business primarily due to our restructuring efforts. During the fourth quarter 2013 we closed two of our base resins production units as we focus on higher value component and formulations sales such as aerospace, transportation and industrial markets.
