CEO Quote
Jim Fitterling, chair and chief executive officer, commented on the quarter: “Despite persistently weak macroeconomic conditions, Team Dow delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year volume growth, leveraging our cost-advantaged footprint to capture resilient demand for high-value applications. In December, we signed a definitive agreement for the sale of a minority stake in select U.S. Gulf Coast infrastructure assets for expected cash proceeds of up to approximately $3 billion. The partnership represents a new business model designed to drive operational efficiencies and growth with new customers, while providing near-term financial flexibility. We also announced a strategic review of select European assets, and today we are announcing additional actions to deliver $1 billion of cost savings and productivity improvements over the next three years.”
