19.8 percent, down 110 basis points versus the prior year
- Adjusted EPS of $1.43*, up four percent versus prior year; adjusted operating margin of 20.5
percent and adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.9 percent, down 150 and 300 basis points, respectively, versus the prior year
- Maintaining fiscal 2017 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.00 to $6.25, which at the midpoint,
represents a nine percent increase over the prior year; fiscal 2017 third quarter adjusted EPS guidance of $1.55 to $1.60, which at the midpoint, also represents a nine percent increase over the prior year

*The results and guidance in this release, including in the highlights above, include references to non-GAAP continuing
operations measures. These exclude the discontinued operations of the former Materials Technologies (MT) segment and
Energy-from-Waste and are identified by the word "adjusted" preceding the measure. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results

Air Products (NYSE: APD) today reported GAAP net income from continuing operations of $304
million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $1.39, both up
nine percent versus the prior year, for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2017.
For the quarter, on a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income from continuing operations of $314
million was up five percent versus prior year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of
$1.43 was up four percent versus prior year.
Second quarter sales of $1,980 million increased eleven percent from the prior year, as seven
percent higher volumes and five percent favorable energy pass-through were partially offset by one percent unfavorable currency.
Volumes were positive in Asia, North America and Europe, while continued progress on the Jazan project was partially offset by lower LNG activity. Taken
together, the Industrial Gas regions increased overall volumes by two percent. Pricing was flat with the prior year.
For the quarter, on a GAAP basis, operating income of $391 million increased five percent.
Operating margin of 19.8 percent decreased 110 basis points versus prior year.
Adjusted operating income of $406 million increased four percent, and adjusted EBITDA of
$652 million increased two percent over the prior year. Adjusted operating margin of 20.5 percent
and adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.9 percent decreased 150 and 300 basis points, respectively, from the prior year, as productivity
actions were more than offset by higher energy pass-through, increased maintenance costs, and higher power costs. Adjusted EBITDA
margin was negatively impacted 140 basis points by higher energy pass through and by 120 basis points due to sale of equipment
business mix; excluding these impacts, underlying adjusted margin decreased by only 40 basis points from the prior year. GAAP
ROCE of 10.7 percent increased 10 basis points over the prior year. Adjusted ROCE increased 70 basis points to 12.3 percent.
Commenting on the results for the quarter, Seifi Ghasemi, chairman,
president and chief executive officer, said, "For the twelfth consecutive quarter, Air Products reported higher adjusted EPS
growth versus prior year. This performance is entirely due to the commitment and dedication of our people around the world as
they continue implementing our strategic Five-Point Plan. We had excellent safety performance, and despite the margin decline,
our adjusted EPS increased four percent versus prior year and adjusted ROCE increased 70 basis points to 12.3 percent," he
said.
Second Quarter Results by Business Segment
- Industrial Gases – Americas sales of $890 million increased twelve percent versus
prior year on nine percent higher energy pass-through. Higher volumes, higher pricing and favorable currency each contributed
one percent. Segment operating income of $225 million was flat, while adjusted EBITDA of
$354 million increased four percent, as productivity actions were offset by higher maintenance
costs supporting planned customer outages. Segment operating margin of 25.2 percent decreased 280 basis points, and adjusted
EBITDA margin of 39.7 percent decreased 300 basis points from the prior year, primarily due to higher energy pass-through;
excluding energy pass-through, operating margin decreased 90 basis points.
- Industrial Gases – EMEA sales of $414 million decreased two percent versus last year,
as three percent higher energy pass-through and one percent higher volumes were more than offset by six percent unfavorable
currency. Pricing was flat. Segment operating income of $87 million decreased four percent and
adjusted EBITDA of $136 million decreased six percent from the prior year; on a constant currency
basis, both operating income and adjusted EBITDA increased, as productivity actions and positive volumes more than offset the
impact from higher power costs and planned maintenance outages. Segment operating margin of 20.9 percent decreased 40 basis
points and adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.9 percent decreased 160 basis points from the prior year, primarily due to higher
energy pass-through.
- Industrial Gases – Asia sales of $436 million
increased seven percent versus prior year, as volume growth of eight percent was partially offset by one percent unfavorable
currency. Pricing was flat. Segment operating income of $112 million increased seven percent and
adjusted EBITDA of $174 million increased two percent, driven by higher volumes. Segment
operating margin of 25.7 was flat, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 40 percent declined 200 basis points from the prior year,
primarily due to the ramp-up of utility pass-through volumes.
Non-GAAP results for the Company in the fiscal second quarter of 2017 exclude expenses of $10.3
million, or $0.03 per share, for cost reduction actions, and $4.1
million, or $0.01 per share, for pension settlement costs. See reconciliation of non-GAAP
measures starting on page four.
Outlook
Ghasemi said, "Air Products continues to operate from a position of strength. Cash generation and disciplined capital
allocation drive long-term value, and Air Products has a significant amount of cash to invest in our core industrial gases
business. In fact, over the next three years, we expect to have approximately $8 billion to deploy
in strategic, high-return opportunities to create shareholder value.
"However, we maintain our cautious outlook for economic activity around the world, since we have not seen any concrete
evidence to allow us to make a different prediction. At the same time, we are driving productivity and cost actions in our
business to deliver on our commitments," he said.
Air Products continues to expect fiscal 2017 adjusted EPS of $6.00 to $6.25, which at midpoint,
represents an increase of nine percent over last year. For the fiscal 2017 third quarter, Air Products expects adjusted EPS from
continuing operations of $1.55 to $1.60 per share, which at midpoint, also represents an increase
of nine percent over last year.
The capital expenditure forecast for fiscal year 2017 is approximately $1 billion on a GAAP and
non-GAAP basis.
Management has provided adjusted EPS guidance on a continuing operations basis. While it is likely that we will incur
additional costs for items such as cost reduction actions and pension settlements in future periods, it is not possible, without
unreasonable efforts, to identify the amount or significance of these events or the potential for other transactions that may
impact future GAAP EPS. Management does not believe these items to be representative of underlying business performance.
Accordingly, management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company's forecasted range of adjusted EPS to a
comparable GAAP range.

NOTE: This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about earnings guidance and business outlook. These forward-looking
statements are based on management's reasonable expectations and assumptions as of the date this release is furnished. Actual
performance and financial results may differ materially from projections and estimates expressed in the forward-looking
statements because of many factors not anticipated by management, including, without limitation, global or regional economic
conditions (including, as to the United Kingdom and Europe, the
impact of "Brexit") and supply and demand dynamics in market segments into which the Company sells; political risks, including
the risks of unanticipated government actions; acts of war or terrorism; the inability to eliminate stranded costs previously
allocated to the Company's Electronic Materials and Performance Materials divisions which have been divested and other unexpected
impacts of the divestitures including tax impacts; significant fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies from that
currently anticipated; future financial and operating performance of major customers; unanticipated contract terminations or
customer cancellations or postponement of projects and sales; our ability to execute the projects in our backlog; asset
impairments due to economic conditions or specific events; the impact of price fluctuations in natural gas and disruptions in
markets and the economy due to oil price volatility; costs and outcomes of litigation or regulatory investigations; the success
of productivity and operational improvement programs; the timing, impact, and other uncertainties of future acquisitions or
divestitures, including reputational impacts; the impact of changes in environmental, tax or other legislation and regulatory
activities in jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate; and other risk factors described in the Company's
Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. The Company disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this release to reflect any
change in the Company's assumptions, beliefs or expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances upon which any
such forward-looking statements are based.
* Presented below are reconciliations of the reported GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated, except for share data)
The Company has presented certain financial measures on a non-GAAP ("adjusted") basis and has provided a reconciliation to the
most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures are not meant to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others with useful
information to evaluate the performance of the business because such measures, when viewed together with our financial results
computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical
financial performance and projected future results.
In many cases, our non-GAAP measures are determined by adjusting the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to
exclude certain disclosed items ("non-GAAP adjustments") that we believe are not representative of the underlying business
performance. For example, Air Products has executed its strategic plan to restructure the Company and, as part of this plan, is
now focusing on the Company's core Industrial Gases businesses, which will continue to result in significant cost reduction and
asset actions that we believe are important for investors to understand separately from the performance of the underlying
business. The tax impact of our non-GAAP adjustments reflects the expected current and deferred income tax expense impact of the
transactions and is impacted primarily by the statutory tax rate of the various relevant jurisdictions and the taxability of the
adjustments in those jurisdictions. In evaluating these financial measures, the reader should be aware that we may incur expenses
similar to those eliminated in this presentation in the future. Investors should also consider the limitations associated with
these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another.

(A) Operating margin is calculated
by dividing operating income by sales.
|
(B) The tax impact of our
non-GAAP adjustments reflects the expected current and deferred income tax expense impact of the transactions and is
impacted primarily by the
statutory tax rate of the various relevant
jurisdictions and the taxability of the adjustments in those jurisdictions.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations (including noncontrolling interests) excluding certain
disclosed items, which the Company does not believe to be indicative of underlying business trends, before interest expense,
other non-operating income (expense), net, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA
provides a useful metric for management to assess operating performance.
Below is a reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations on a GAAP basis to Adjusted EBITDA:

INCOME TAXES
The tax impact of our non-GAAP adjustments reflects the expected current and deferred income tax expense impact of the
transactions and is impacted primarily by the statutory tax rate of the various relevant jurisdictions and the taxability of the
adjustments in those jurisdictions.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We utilize a non-GAAP measure in the computation of capital expenditures and include spending associated with facilities
accounted for as capital leases. Certain contracts associated with facilities that are built to provide product to a specific
customer are required to be accounted for as leases, and such spending is reflected as a use of cash within cash provided by
operating activities if the arrangement qualifies as a capital lease.
Below is a reconciliation of capital expenditures on a GAAP basis to a non-GAAP measure:

We expect capital expenditures for fiscal year 2017 to be approximately $1,000 on a GAAP and
non-GAAP basis.
RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED (ROCE)
Return on capital employed (ROCE) is calculated on a continuing operations basis as earnings after-tax divided by five-quarter
average total capital. Earnings after-tax is calculated based on trailing four quarters and is defined as the sum of net income
from continuing operations attributable to Air Products, interest expense, after-tax, at our effective quarterly tax rate, and
net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. On a non-GAAP basis, the GAAP measure has been adjusted for the impact of
the disclosed items detailed below. Total capital consists of total debt, total equity, and redeemable noncontrolling interest
less noncontrolling interests and total assets of discontinued operations.

OUTLOOK
Guidance provided is on a non-GAAP continuing operations basis, which excludes the impact of certain items that we believe are
not representative of our underlying business performance. It is likely that we will incur additional costs for items such as
cost reduction and asset actions and pension settlements in future periods. However, it is not possible, without unreasonable
efforts, to identify the amount or significance of these events or the potential for other transactions that may impact future
GAAP EPS. Accordingly, management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, the Company's forecasted range of adjusted
EPS on a continuing operations basis to a comparable GAAP range.

AIR PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS, INC. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Millions of dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
1. MATERIALS TECHNOLOGIES SEPARATION
On 16 September 2015, the Company announced plans to separate its Materials Technologies business, which contained two
divisions, the Electronic Materials Division (EMD) and Performance Materials Division (PMD), into an independent publicly traded
company and distribute to Air Products shareholders all of the shares of the new public company in a tax-free distribution (a
"spin-off"). Versum Materials, Inc., or Versum, was formed as the new company to hold the Materials Technologies business subject
to the spin-off. On 6 May 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain subsidiaries and assets
comprising PMD to Evonik Industries AG. As a result, the Company moved forward with the planned spin-off of Versum containing
only EMD. The spin-off was completed on 1 October 2016.
On 3 January 2017, we completed the sale of PMD to Evonik Industries AG for $3.8 billion in cash subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including working capital. A gain of
$2,870 ($1,833 after-tax, or $8.34 per
share) was recognized on the sale in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. A portion of the proceeds from the sale have been
included in "Short-term investments" on the consolidated balance sheets. Associated interest income has been reflected on the
consolidated income statements as "Other non-operating income (expense), net."
Both EMD and PMD are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods
presented.
For the six months ended 31 March 2017, we incurred separation costs of $30.2 ($26.5 after-tax, or $.12 per share),
primarily related to legal and advisory costs associated with these transactions. No business separation costs were incurred
during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. The costs are reflected on the consolidated income statements as "Business
separation costs." A significant portion of these costs were not tax deductible because they were directly related to the plan
for the tax-free spin-off of Versum. In addition, our income tax provision for the six months ended 31
March 2017 includes additional tax expense of $2.7 ($.01 per
share) related to the spin-off during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
The results of the Corporate and other segment include stranded costs related to the presentation of EMD and PMD as
discontinued operations. The majority of these costs are expected to be reimbursed to Air Products pursuant to short-term
transition services agreements under which Air Products will provide transition services to Versum for EMD and to Evonik for
PMD.
2. COST REDUCTION AND ASSET ACTIONS
For the three months ended 31 March 2017, we recognized an expense of $10.3 ($7.2 after-tax, or $.03 per share) for
severance and other benefits related to cost reduction actions. For the six months ended 31 March
2017, we recognized a net expense of $60.3 ($48.4 after-tax,
or $.23 per share). This expense included $45.7 from the first
quarter write-down of an air separation unit in the Industrial Gases – EMEA segment that was constructed mainly to provide oxygen
to one of the Energy-from-Waste plants and expense for severance and other benefits.
3. PENSION SETTLEMENT
Certain of our pension plans provide for a lump sum benefit payment option at the time of retirement, or for corporate
officers, six months after their retirement date. A participant's vested benefit is considered settled upon cash payment of the
lump sum. We recognize pension settlement losses when cash payments exceed the sum of the service and interest cost components of
net periodic benefit cost of the plan for the fiscal year. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, we recognized a pension
settlement loss of $4.1 ($2.6 after-tax, or $.01 per share) to accelerate recognition of a portion of actuarial losses deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive loss associated with the U.S. Supplementary Pension Plan. We expect that additional settlement losses will be
recognized during the second half of fiscal year 2017.
4. ENERGY-FROM-WASTE
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Board of Directors approved the Company's exit of its Energy-from-Waste
(EfW) business. As a result, efforts to start up and operate its two EfW projects located in Tees Valley, United Kingdom, had been discontinued and a loss on disposal of $945.7
($846.6 after-tax) was recorded to write down plant assets to their estimated net realizable value
and record a liability for plant disposition and other costs.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, we determined that it is unlikely for a buyer to assume the remaining assets and
contract obligations, including the related land lease. As a result, we recorded an additional loss of $59.3 ($47.1 after-tax) in results of discontinued operations, of which
$53.0 was recorded primarily for land lease obligations and $6.3 was
recorded to update our estimate of the net realizable value of the plant assets as of 31 December
2016. There have been no changes to our estimates during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017.
5. NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update to simplify the
accounting for employee share-based payments, including the income tax impacts, the classification on the statement of cash
flows, and forfeitures. We elected to early adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The new guidance
requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in the income statement rather than in additional paid-in capital
on the balance sheet. As a result of applying this change prospectively, we recognized $2.7 and
$9.7 of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes during the three and six months ended
31 March 2017, respectively.
