Eastman Chemical (NYSE: EMN) reported Q4 EPS of $1.64, $0.11 better than the analyst estimate of $1.53. Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.35 million versus the consensus estimate of $2.34 million.

Commenting on the outlook for full year 2015, Costa said: “We enter 2015 well positioned to benefit from our strong portfolio of specialty businesses, including the accretive acquisitions we completed in 2014. We are confident that we will continue to deliver long-term value from our leadership positions in key markets, the diversity of end-markets and geographies we serve, and market adoption of our specialty products. In the short-term, we also face challenges including continued global economic uncertainty, volatile oil prices, and the recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Under current business conditions, we expect 2015 earnings per share to be similar to 2014 earnings per share.” Non-core and non-recurring items are excluded from the earnings per share projection.
