The New Dow: An Earnings Growth Company In addition to offering immediate and certain value to Rohm and Haas shareholders, the acquisition of Rohm and Haas by Dow will create significant value and enhanced growth potential for Dow shareholders.
Dow's acquisition of Rohm and Haas significantly strengthens and expands its specialty business and results in a decisive step towards establishing Dow as an earnings-growth company, markedly shifting the balance of its portfolio towards higher growth, higher margin specialties businesses. The transaction, coupled with the pending joint venture between Dow and PIC, will increase the pro forma 2007 EBITDA contribution from Dow's Performance businesses to 67 percent from 52 percent, delivering greater earnings consistency throughout the industry cycle.
Rohm and Haas provides Dow with an excellent position in a number of industry segments that are poised for significant growth given long-term market megatrends, most notably in the electronic materials and coatings segments. In addition to its leading platforms in these two important segments, Rohm and Haas has a strong presence in a number of other attractive areas such as water solutions, adhesives, personal care, biocides, and building and packaging materials.The acquisition will unlock value from Dow's existing portfolio by delivering a range of innovative new products and technologies to these high growth downstream sectors, while at the same time expanding the product offering for sale through Dow's own existing market channels..
