99.1 | Press Release announcing second quarter 2014 earnings and declaration of dividend, dated July 24, 2014. |
• | sensitivity to economic, business and market conditions in the United States and overseas, including economic instability or a downturn in the sectors served by us, such as ammunition, vinyls, urethanes, and pulp and paper, and the migration by United States customers to low-cost foreign locations; |
• | the cyclical nature of our operating results, particularly declines in average selling prices in the chlor alkali industry and the supply/demand balance for our products, including the impact of excess industry capacity or an imbalance in demand for our chlor alkali products; |
• | economic and industry downturns that result in diminished product demand and excess manufacturing capacity in any of our segments and that, in many cases, result in lower selling prices and profits; |
• | new regulations or public policy changes regarding the transportation of hazardous chemicals and the security of chemical manufacturing facilities; |
• | changes in legislation or government regulations or policies; |
• | higher-than-expected raw material and energy, transportation, and/or logistics costs; |
• | costs and other expenditures in excess of those projected for environmental investigation and remediation or other legal proceedings; |
• | unexpected litigation outcomes; |
• | the failure or an interruption of our information technology systems; |
• | the occurrence of unexpected manufacturing interruptions and outages, including those occurring as a result of labor disruptions and production hazards; |
• | adverse conditions in the credit and capital markets, limiting or preventing our ability to borrow or raise capital; |
• | weak industry conditions could affect our ability to comply with the financial maintenance covenants in our senior revolving credit facility and certain tax-exempt bonds; |
• | the effects of any declines in global equity markets on asset values and any declines in interest rates used to value the liabilities in our pension plan; and |
• | an increase in our indebtedness or higher-than-expected interest rates, affecting our ability to generate sufficient cash flow for debt service. |
