Celanese Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results; Adjusted Earnings Per Share Increases 18% to $0.84

Second quarter highlights:

	•		Net sales increased 7% to $1,556 million from prior year
	•		Operating profit decreased 53% to $71 million on other expenses primarily related to restructuring activities and long-term compensation
	•		Net earnings decreased to a loss of $117 million on expenses related to debt refinancing
	•		Operating EBITDA increased 5% to $326 million
	•		Diluted EPS decreased to a loss of $0.76
	•		Adjusted EPS increased 18% to $0.84 from prior year

Dallas, July 26, 2007: Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE) today reported net sales of $1,556 million, a 7 percent increase from the prior year, including sales from the acquisition of the acetate flake, tow and film business of Acetate Products Limited (APL). Increased pricing in acetyls on continued strong global demand, the successful startup of the company’s acetic acid unit in Nanjing, China, ongoing growth in Ticona’s advanced engineered materials business, and positive currency effects helped to offset the impact related to an unplanned acetic acid production outage at the company’s Clear Lake, Texas facility that occurred in May 2007. Operating profit decreased to $71 million from $152 million in the same period last year. This year’s results included $105 million of other expenses primarily related to a long-term management compensation program payable upon the exit of the company’s private equity sponsor, and previously announced revitalization plans for the

company’s emulsions and polyvinyl alcohol businesses. Net earnings were a loss of $117 million and included approximately $265 million in pre-tax expenses primarily related to the company’s debt refinancing transaction completed in the second quarter. All U.S. GAAP operating results for both periods shown exclude discontinued operations of the company’s methanol production unit that was shut down during the first quarter, and results from the divested oxo alcohol business.

Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.84 compared with $0.71 in the same period last year, driven by lower selling, general and administrative expense; lower ongoing interest expense; and continued strong performance, including increased dividends from the company’s cost investments. The 2007 results for adjusted earnings per share excluded pre-tax expenses of $265 million primarily related to the company’s debt refinancing, $74 million associated with the long-term management compensation program, and approximately $32 million of certain other adjustments, including business optimization and restructuring expense. Adjusted earnings per share included earnings from its discontinued methanol production which was included in the company’s 2007 guidance. The company estimates that the Clear Lake outage had a total net earnings impact of between $0.05 and $0.10 per share in the second quarter. The tax rate used for adjusted earnings per share was 28 percent for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating EBITDA for the quarter was $326 million, a 5 percent increase from the prior year period.

“The loss of acetic acid production at our Clear Lake facility regrettably affected our customers and had an impact on our earnings,” said David Weidman, chairman and chief executive officer. “However, the solid performance of our specialty businesses in the quarter demonstrates the underlying strength of these global franchises and the successful startup of our Nanjing, China facility positions the company well for future growth.”

First Half 2007

Net sales for the first six months of 2007 were $3,111 million, an 8 percent increase from the same period last year, due to the inclusion of sales from the APL acquisition, higher volumes in Ticona, favorable currency impacts, and higher pricing in acetyls on continued strong global demand. Operating profit was $277 million, a decrease of 10 percent from the prior year, driven by other expenses in the second quarter of 2007. Operating EBITDA for the

first half of 2007 increased to $674 million from $579 million in the first half of last year. Improved results were primarily driven by expanded operating margins, increased affiliate income, and strong first quarter 2007 operating results. Adjusted earnings per share for the first half of the year were $1.75 compared with $1.30 in the prior year period, driven by lower net interest expense related to the company’s debt refinancing in the second quarter of 2007.

Recent Highlights

Second Quarter Segment Overview

Chemical Products

The successful startup of the Chemical Products’ acetic acid unit in Nanjing helped mitigate the impact of the unplanned acetic acid outage at the company’s Clear Lake facility. Net sales rose 3 percent to $1,002 million compared with the same period last year. The increase in sales was driven by higher pricing on continued strong global demand and favorable currency effects, which more than offset lower volumes. Operating profit, however, decreased to $91 million from $130 million in the same period last year, as the lower volumes, higher raw material costs and $30 million of other charges related to long-term compensation and restructuring expense more than offset the higher pricing. Operating EBITDA decreased to $176 million from $207 million in the prior year period. Methanol production contributed $12 million of operating EBITDA in the second quarter of 2006. The company ceased production of its methanol unit in the first quarter of 2007.

Ticona Technical Polymers

Growth and innovation drove Ticona’s strong performance in the second quarter. Net sales increased 12 percent to $257 million versus the prior year period on higher volume of 8 percent, driven by strength in Europe, and favorable currency impact of 4 percent. All major product lines experienced volume growth in the period. Operating profit decreased slightly to $32 million from $38 million in the same period last year. Volume increases did not offset higher energy costs in Europe, costs associated with inventory changes and other charges related to long-term compensation in the period. Operating EBITDA increased to $70 million from $66 million primarily driven by improved operating performance.

Acetate Products

Acetate Products delivered improved results as it continued to demonstrate the success of its revitalization initiatives. Net sales increased to $235 million from $176 million in the same period last year, driven primarily by the inclusion of sales from the acquisition of APL’s acetate flake, tow and film business. Higher pricing helped to partially offset lower flake volume associated with the company’s strategy to expand its China ventures and close flake production in Edmonton, Canada. Operating profit was $29 million, unchanged from the prior year period, as relatively lower margins in the recently acquired APL business and higher restructuring and long-term compensation charges of approximately $8 million offset the increased sales.

Operating EBITDA, however, increased to $80 million from $55 million driven by results from the revitalization activities and a $13 million increase in dividends from the company’s strategic cost investments in China.

Performance Products

Net sales for Performance Products decreased slightly to $47 million for the quarter compared with $48 million in the prior year period. Positive currency impacts did not fully offset lower volumes and slightly lower pricing. The lower volumes were primarily related to the company’s exit of its non-core lower margin trade business during the fourth quarter of 2006. Volumes for Sunett™ sweetener increased, reflecting continued growth in global low calorie beverage and confectionary demand. Operating profit and operating EBITDA were both unchanged from the prior year period and were $16 million and $21 million, respectively.

Taxes

The tax rate for adjusted earnings per share was 28 percent in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, the U.S. GAAP estimated annualized tax rate was 26 percent. The U.S. GAAP effective tax rate in 2007 will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, for example, given the U.S. GAAP treatment of the recapitalization transaction which was accounted for as a discrete transaction in the second quarter. The adjusted tax rate is based on our previous guidance which did not include this transaction.

Equity and Cost Investments

Earnings from equity investments and dividends from cost investments, which are reflected in the company’s adjusted earnings and operating EBITDA, totaled $72 million in the second quarter, a $15 million increase from last year, on higher dividends from its Acetate China ventures. Equity and cost investment dividends, which are included in operating cash flow, increased to $59 million from $58 million last year.

Cash Flow

During the first six months of 2007, the company generated approximately $79 million in cash flow from operations compared with $167 million in the prior year period. Excluding cash used in discontinued operations, as well as the payment for the company’s long-term management compensation program, the company generated $253 million in cash flow from operations during the first six months of 2007. Results for the first half of 2007 also include cash tax payments of approximately $141 million, or $109 million higher than the

prior year period.

During the second quarter, the company used $706 million in cash primarily associated with its comprehensive recapitalization plan which includes debt repayments of $211 million, debt refinancing costs of $240 million and share repurchases of $258 million.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were $470 million, a decrease of $321 million from the end of 2006, and a decrease of $645 million from the end of the first quarter of 2007. Net debt at the end of the second quarter was $2,915 million, an increase of $208 million and $541 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, respectively.

Outlook

“The underlying fundamentals of our business are strong. Global demand remains robust and our growth strategies are on track to deliver on our commitments to increase shareholder value,” said Weidman. “Unfortunately, due to uncertainty regarding the timeline of repair and expected restart date of the Clear Lake acetic acid unit, we are unable to provide short-term financial guidance at this time.”

The company carries normal and customary insurance coverage for property damage and business interruption subject to a self retention of approximately $50 million. The timing of any potential insurance recoveries, however, may lag the expense associated with repair and lost income by six to eight quarters.

Reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Measures to U.S. GAAP

This release reflects four performance measures, operating EBITDA, affiliate EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, and net debt as non-U.S. GAAP measures. The most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in our consolidated financial statements for operating EBITDA is operating profit; for adjusted earnings per share is earnings per common share-diluted; and for net debt is total debt.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information

	•		Operating EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure performance, is defined as operating profit from continuing operations, plus equity in net earnings from affiliates, other income and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for other charges and adjustments. Our management believes operating EBITDA is useful to investors because it is one of the primary measures our management uses for its planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results. Operating EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to operating profit as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of operating EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally, operating EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements nor does it represent the amount used in our debt covenants.
	•		Affiliate EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure performance of its equity investments, is defined as the proportional operating profit plus the proportional depreciation and amortization of its equity investments. Affiliate EBITDA, including Celanese Proportional Share of affiliate information on Table 8, is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and is not meant to be an alternative to operating cash flow of the equity investments. The company has determined that it does not have sufficient ownership for operating control of these investments to consider their results on a consolidated basis. The company believes that investors should consider affiliate EBITDA when determining the equity investments’ overall value in the company.
	•		Adjusted earnings per share is a measure used by management to measure performance. It is defined as net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders plus preferred dividends, adjusted for other charges and adjustments, and divided by the number of basic common shares, diluted preferred shares, and options valued using the treasury method. We provide guidance on an adjusted earnings per share basis and are unable to reconcile forecasted adjusted earnings per share to a GAAP financial measure because a forecast of Other Items is not practical. We believe that the presentation of this

			non-U.S. GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding various financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations, and that when U.S. GAAP information is viewed in conjunction with non-U.S. GAAP information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. This non-U.S. GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial information.
	•		Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that the presentation of this non-U.S. GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding changes to the company’s capital structure. Our management and credit analysts use net debt to evaluate the company’s capital structure and assess credit quality. This non-U.S. GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial information.
