Technology Watch — Semiconductor Support — Air Products — Q4 FY2018 Earnings Conference Call Discussion

We successfully commissioned and started up our Lu’an air separation and gasification joint venture in China, which is now supplying syngas for chemical production in Lu’an. The plant is fully operational, with all four gasifiers running. In June, we held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new world-class steam methane reformer in Baytown, Texas, supplying CO and hydrogen to Covestro and other customers connected to the Gulf Coast pipeline network. Most importantly, these achievements demonstrate to our customers and employees that the Company can successfully deliver on its commitments—safely building and operating large, complex projects to provide critical natural gas supplies. Our proven reliability and successful execution of these projects have also helped us win additional projects beyond electronics, chemicals, and manufacturing markets—in China, Korea, India, Louisiana, and Texas. One such project is at Eastman’s Kingsport, Tennessee facility, where we have supplied oxygen and nitrogen to its gasifiers for 35 years. We remain committed to delivering world-class engineering and technical resources to meet global demand—including in Saudi Arabia, India, and China. These projects complement our existing engineering and technical capabilities in the U.S., the U.K., and China. In January, we announced a $0.15 dividend increase—the largest in the Company’s history. This 16% increase marks our 36th consecutive year of dividend growth. In fiscal year 2018, we shared approximately 40% of our distributable cash flow—or about $900 million—with investors through dividends. We focus on creating our own growth opportunities and will continue successfully executing our gasification strategy. Gasification is a well-established process in which the Company has participated for many years. The basic method involves using oxygen with coal, liquids, or natural gas to produce syngas—a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen—which can then be used to manufacture chemicals, diesel fuel, premium olefins, polymers, hydrogen, or electricity. Gasification offers significant benefits, enabling lower-value feedstocks to be utilized in an environmentally friendly manner. Over recent years, the Company has successfully built large air separation units to supply oxygen to gasifier operators in China and Saudi Arabia. Over the past year, we announced four major gasification projects wherein Air Products’ Gasification business will own and operate gasifiers and syngas cleanup facilities, supplying syngas or related products to our customers. Critically, these projects align with our on-site business model, and we assume no raw material or product volume or price risk. First, I mentioned the project successfully supplying syngas for chemical production in Lu’an. Second, in August, we announced an $8-billion gasification power project in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia—where we recently completed the world’s largest air separation complex. This project remains on track, and we expect operations to commence by the end of the 2019 calendar year. Third, we made significant progress on a $3.5-billion air separation and gasification project supplying syngas to Yankuang Group in Shaanxi Province. We anticipate holding a 55%–60% ownership stake in the joint venture, with operations expected to begin in 2022.
