Comments from Dow Corning's ExecutiveVice President and Chief Financial Officer J. Donald Sheets:
"Significant oversupply and high raw materials costs continued to challenge the performance of our silicones segment in the first half of the year. We did see a quarter over quarter increase in the second quarter for a number of our high-value, differentiated silicone-based products. We are confident that our product portfolio, two-brand strategy, and talented team are well positioned to help our silicones business return to the trajectory of growth we expect."
"Hemlock Semiconductor's performance began to stabilize in the second quarter as a result of the actions the company has taken in recent months. Polysilicon prices and volumes remain significantly down as the solar industry deals with excess capacity and awaits resolution of the global trade disputes."
"In the first half of the year, we made some tough decisions to reduce Dow Corning's cost structure to enable us to continue to invest in developing innovative products that bring value to both our customers and to Dow Corning. While we have a tough road in front of us, we're confident that our strategy - backed by our strong financial position - will enable us to return to a path of growth."
