Second Quarter Results

Barry Golsen, President of LSB, made the following comments regarding the second quarter. LSB’s second quarter operating income of $9.0 million and income from continuing operations of $6.7 million were both significantly better than any recent quarterly results.

“Both our Climate Control and Chemical Businesses achieved significant improvement in both revenues and net income during the second quarter and first half of the year. Most of the growth in our Climate Control Business came from our water source heat pump and geothermal products, which have had record order levels and backlogs. Our Chemical Business results improved due to favorable sales prices compared to the cost of raw materials and optimum production rates for most of the quarter. We are very pleased to see that our business strategies, along with favorable business conditions, resulted in very positive results so far this year.”



Looking forward into the third quarter, management indicates that our Chemical Business agricultural sales and profits will be affected by the hot dry weather conditions in the South and Mid-West, as well as the recent increase in natural gas prices.

Six Months and Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
(unaudited)

Note 1:

Net income applicable to common stock is computed by adjusting net income by the amount of preferred stock dividend requirements that have been paid and/or accrued.

 

 

Note 2:

During each of the first two quarters of 2006, our Board of Directors declared and we paid nominal dividends on certain outstanding series of our preferred stock as follows: $.10 per share on our outstanding Series 2 Preferred, $.37 per share on our outstanding Series B Preferred, and $.31 per share a share on our outstanding Non-Cumulative Redeemable preferred stock. These dividends were not for the full amount of the required quarterly dividends pursuant to the terms of all of our outstanding series of preferred stock.

 

 

Note 3:

Basic net income per common share is based upon net income applicable to common stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted income per share is based on net income applicable to common stock plus preferred stock dividend requirements on preferred stock assumed to be converted, if dilutive, and interest expense including amortization of debt issuance costs, net of income taxes, on convertible debt assumed to be converted and the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, if any, and the assumed conversion of dilutive convertible securities outstanding, if any.
