historically our performance has deviated, often significantly, from our expectations and targets. Actual future events,

circumstances, performance and trends could differ materially, positively or negatively, from those set forth in these

year results; the actual timing of the filing of our Form 10-K with the SEC and potential effects of delays in such filing; failure

to achieve earnings or other estimates; failure to successfully develop and commercialize new or improved products; adverse

changes in inventory or supply chain management; limitations or delays on capital expenditures; business interruptions;

delays or changes in or non-consummation of investments or acquisitions that we may make in the future; failure to

successfully integrate into our business any completed investments and acquisitions; failure to achieve expected synergies

our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; adverse changes in labor relations; adverse developments in legal

proceedings; non-realization of anticipated benefits from organizational changes and restructurings; negative developments

relating to health, safety or environmental compliance or remediation or liabilities; downturns, production reductions or

suspensions, or changes in steel and other markets we or our customers serve; declines in demand; intensified competition

and price or margin decreases, including growth by producers in developing countries; graphite electrode and needle coke

manufacturing capacity increases; adverse differences between actual graphite electrode prices and spot or announced

prices; consolidation of steel producers; mismatches between manufacturing capacity and demand; significant changes in

our provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate; changes in the availability or cost of key inputs, including

petroleum-based coke or energy; changes in interest or currency exchange rates; inflation or deflation; failure to satisfy

conditions to government grants; changes in government fiscal and monetary policy; a protracted regional or global financial

Executive Summary

•

Strategic rationale and business case for acquisitions of Seadrift and C/G

(St. Marys) remain strong and has already resulted in value creation for

GrafTech.

•

Integration of the assets is progressing as planned. Our assessment of

operational, tax and working capital synergies potential is consistent with

our earlier expectations.

•

Purchase price accounting adjustments are now complete and remain

consistent with prior expectations.

•

We will articulate on this call key accounting adjustments related to the

acquisitions.

Summary of acquisition impact in Q4 2010

Summary of pro forma modeling considerations for 2011

•

The purchase price accounting adjustments will impact the P&L and may

change net income and/or EPS results, however the adjustments are all

non-cash and will not impact cash flow results.

•

The combination of GrafTech, Seadrift and St. Marys

will allow us to be the

best positioned graphite electrode supplier in the world:

Largest producer of graphite electrodes globally

Only graphite electrode producer backward integrated to needle coke

production

Industry’s low-cost producer

World class R&D Center provides strong support to both needle coke

and graphite electrode products

Two North American graphite electrode facilities are strategically

located to serve customers better than anyone else in the industry

sustainable future growth

Purchase Price Accounting Principles

Purchase price accounting requires consideration to be assigned to fair

value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition,

with the difference being goodwill.

•

Fair value adjustments resulted in a step-up of the values of tangible

assets including inventory, property, plant and equipment (PP&E), etc.

•

Purchase price accounting required identification and valuation of

intangible assets such as customer relationships, technology and

know-how and trade names

•

Tangible and intangible assets will be depreciated/amortized over the

determined useful lives using straight line or accelerated methods

•

We are also required to step-up our previously held 18.9% interest in

Seadrift to fair value, resulting in the recognition of a gain in income

customers

•

Seadrift sales to internal GrafTech

customers (intercompany sales) do not have margin as GAAP

requires the elimination of Intercompany profit in reported results.

•

As GrafTech

begins to sell the electrodes/finished product which contains Seadrift

coke

as a primary

raw material, margin will be recognized on the third party sales.

•

Intercompany elimination impact to Q4 2010 was $0.5 million, 2011 impact is anticipated to be

approximately $12 million to $14 million.

I/C Sale

Timing difference causes a shift of margin to be

recognized in the latter half of 2011.

Intercompany

sales

from

Seadrift

GrafTech/St.

be recognized until an electrode is sold (approximately 4 month

lag), at which point intercompany profit will be eliminated

(estimated 2011 impact of approximately $12 million to $14

million)
