Texas Petrochemicals Reports Fiscal 2010 First Quarter ResultsNovember 13, 2009 6:00 AM ETFirst quarter results reflect higher selling prices and more stable margins despite continuing weakness in the economy HOUSTON, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Texas Petrochemicals, Inc., (OTC:TXPI.PK:) today reported revenues of $340.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $543.3 million in last year's first quarter and $260.9 million in the immediately preceding fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The 37% decline compared to the prior year quarter reflects substantially lower selling prices driven by lower petrochemical and fuel-related prices that were approximately half of fiscal 2009 first quarter levels, partially offset by 12% higher sales volume. The 30% sequential improvement reflects significant improvement in average selling prices, partially offset by 9% lower sales volume. First quarter net income was $3.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter and $7.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the immediately preceding quarter. First quarter Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and additional items) was $20.0 million compared to $18.3 million for the year ago quarter and $33.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA benefited from the partial recovery of a business interruption claim of $10.0 million. (Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled below to net income, the most closely related GAAP measure). Charlie Shaver, President and CEO, commented, "I am quite pleased with our fiscal 2010 first quarter results considering the generally weak economic conditions that persisted throughout the quarter. Our business lines continue to experience an upward trend in selling prices across our product lines, and we are seeing improved stability in our profit margins. The increases in our selling prices, to a significant degree, reflect tightness in the finished butadiene market and the upward movement in petroleum prices over the course of the quarter. Our first quarter results benefited from the profit improvement and cost reduction initiatives completed in the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter."Fiscal First Quarter 2010 Highlights:

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA TO NET INCOME
(Unaudited) (in millions)
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is presented and discussed
in this earnings release because management believes it enhances
understanding by investors and lenders of the Company's financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary performance measurement used
by senior management and our Board of Directors to evaluate operating
results and to allocate capital resources between our business segments.
A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's
historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash
flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly
comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the
statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows (or
equivalent statements) of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject
to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are
excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and
presented. In this regard GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States. Provided below is a reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measure) to net income (most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure).
