• Strong volume growth more than offset the impact of
lower affiliate earnings and tow pricing
• Lower price driven primarily by tow industry utilization
• Lower affiliate earnings in Ibn Sina driven by lower
MTBE pricing

• Volumes declined primarily due to unusual tow buying
patterns in Europe earlier in 2016, which shifted second
half volumes into the first half of the year
