Innophos’ Immediate Sustainable Goal: De-Lever


®     

Focus is on de-leveraging through simultaneous earnings growth and debt paydown.

 
®     

The de-leveraging stage of an LBO drives increasing equity value as one de-risks the company.

 
®     

$21 Million Debt payments in 2007…continued net debt reduction in 2008.

 





Market Outlook - 2008


®     

High world demand for fertilizers is affecting Innophos’ key raw materials; costs are rapidly increasing.

 
®     

Innophos buys its key raw materials under long term contracts with pricing formulas. These contracts help to buffer short term raw material cost changes.

 
®     

Innophos is responding to higher raw material costs by raising prices to its customers.

 
®     

Demand is strong, shortage of specialty phosphate supply, market is accepting price increases.

 
®     

During 2008 Innophos therefore anticipates getting benefit of higher market selling prices, without feeling immediate full impact of market raw material cost increases.
