FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - St. Louis, MO, July 30, 2015    
SIGMA-ALDRICH (NASDAQ - SIAL) REPORTS Q2 2015 SALES OF $697 MILLION AND ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS OF $1.01.


HIGHLIGHTS:
 
Q2 2015 Results (all changes are against the comparable period in 2014)
Reported sales were $697 million compared to $701 million in the second quarter of 2014. Sales grew organically by 8%, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by 9%. Recent acquisitions increased sales by 1%.
By business unit, organic sales growth was 6% in Research, 8% in Applied and 11% in SAFC Commercial.
Reported diluted EPS was $0.98 compared to $1.11 in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted diluted EPS (excluding $4 million of pre-tax merger-related costs in the second quarter of 2015) was $1.01. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced second quarter 2015 adjusted diluted EPS by $0.17. Excluding this impact, adjusted diluted EPS would have been $1.18, an increase of 6% from the comparable period last year.

First Six Months of 2015 Results (all changes are against the comparable period in 2014)
Reported sales were $1.37 billion compared to $1.39 billion. Sales grew organically by 7%, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by 9%. Recent acquisitions increased sales by 1%.
By business unit, organic sales growth was 4% in Research, 7% in Applied and 10% in SAFC Commercial.
Reported diluted EPS was $2.02 compared to $2.16. Adjusted diluted EPS (excluding $7 million of pre-tax merger-related costs in the first half of 2015) was $2.06 compared to $2.17. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced first six months of 2015 adjusted diluted EPS by $0.30. Excluding this impact, adjusted diluted EPS would have been $2.36, an increase of 9% from the comparable period last year.

CEO’s STATEMENT:
 
Commenting on performance in the second quarter of 2015, President and CEO Rakesh Sachdev said, “We delivered a strong quarter with contributions from all business units and geographies. The 8% organic sales growth in the quarter speaks well of the focus and dedication of Sigma-Aldrich employees on successfully executing the Company’s customer-centric strategies.”

Mr. Sachdev continued, “We are excited about the opportunity to join forces with Merck KGaA of Darmstadt, Germany. We continue to work toward closing the transaction mid-year.

Q2 2015 RESULTS:
 
Reported sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $697 million, essentially flat from the same quarter in 2014. Organic sales growth in the quarter was 8%, but changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced sales by 9%. Acquisitions increased sales by 1%.

Reported sales of the Research business unit ($340 million in sales, 49% of overall sales) declined by 5% from the second quarter of 2014 due to an 11% reduction in reported sales caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic sales growth was 6%. All three segments (Academic/Government/Hospitals, Pharma and Dealers) and all major geographies (Total Americas, EMEA and APAC) contributed to organic sales growth during the quarter.

Reported sales of the Applied business unit ($178 million in sales, 25% of overall sales) increased 3% compared to the second quarter of 2014. Organic sales growth was 8%, but changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced sales by 10%. Sales related to the recent acquisition of Cell Marque increased sales by 5%. Both segments (Diagnostics & Testing and Industrial) and all major geographies contributed to organic sales growth during the quarter.

Reported sales of the SAFC Commercial business unit ($179 million in sales, 26% of overall sales) grew 4% over the second quarter of 2014. Organic sales growth was 11%, but changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced sales by 7%. Organic sales growth was led by double-digit growth in the Life Sciences Services segment and high-single digit growth in the Life Sciences Products segment.

Adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2015 (excluding merger-related expenses) declined by $12 million over the same period last year. Adjusted operating income margin was 24.8%, a 160 basis point decline from last year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced adjusted operating income by $28 million, net of hedging. Excluding this impact, adjusted operating income margin would have been 26.4%, substantially in line with the same period last year.

The adjusted effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 was 29% compared to 28% in the same period last year. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increased mix of profits in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

OTHER INFORMATION:

Cash Flow and Debt: For the first six months of 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $307 million compared to $287 million in the same period in 2014. Capital expenditures in the first six months of both 2015 and 2014 were $55 million. Free cash flow for the first six months of 2015 was $252 million, of which $55 million was returned to shareholders through dividends. The Company’s debt to capital ratio was 8% at June 30, 2015 compared to 12% at December 31, 2014.

Conference Call Information: In light of the announced transaction with Merck KGaA, the Company will no longer hold a conference call to review quarterly earnings results. The transaction with Merck KGaA, which the parties continue to work toward closing mid-year 2015, is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Pursuant to its terms, the Merger Agreement between Merck KGaA and Sigma-Aldrich Corporation has been extended to December 22, 2015, to enable the parties to finalize the satisfaction of the remaining conditions to closing of the transaction.

These statements are based on assumptions regarding the Company’s operations, investments and acquisitions and conditions in the markets the Company serves. While the Company believes these statements are reasonable, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, certain economic, political and technological factors.

For more information about Sigma-Aldrich, please visit its website at www.sigma-aldrich.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: The Company supplements its disclosures made in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company does not, and does not suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with the presentation by other companies inside or outside of the Company’s industry. Whenever the Company uses such non-GAAP measures, it provides a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely applicable GAAP measure. See the Supplemental Financial Information on pages 9 and 10 of this release for these reconciliations.

With approximately 60% of sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, management uses currency adjusted sales growth when analyzing Company performance, and believes it is useful as well to investors to judge the Company’s performance. Organic sales growth data presented in this release excludes currency and acquisition/divestiture impacts. The Company calculates the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates by multiplying current period activity by the difference between current period exchange rates and prior period exchange rates. The result is the defined impact of “changes in foreign currency exchange rates.” While we are able to report past currency impacts, we are unable to estimate changes that may occur in 2015 to applicable exchange

4



rates. Any significant changes in currency exchange rates would likely have a significant impact on reported growth rates due to the volume of sales denominated in foreign currencies.

Management also uses the following non-GAAP measures to judge its performance and ability to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value, and believes this non-GAAP information is useful to investors as well: adjusted operating income, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted operating income margin (reconciled on page 10) and free cash flow (reconciled on page 8). Free cash flow does not necessarily represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.
