OUTLOOK

We currently estimate that our results in the fourth quarter of 2015 will reflect a negative spread between FIFO and ECRC of approximately $10.0 million. We now expect adjusted gross profit will be in the range of $900 to $915 per ton for the full year 2015, which would translate into full year 2015 adjusted EBITDA of $160 million. We believe the current raw material price environment is positive for our business, as lower average selling prices, in combination with the performance qualities of Kraton's product offering, provide a strong value proposition relative to competing materials.
