<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>BATON ROUGE, La., July&nbsp;15, 2014 &#150; </B>Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) today announced that the company expects to report second quarter 2014
earnings in the range of $86 million to $88 million, or $1.08 to $1.11 per share, excluding discontinued operations, special and non-operating pension and OPEB items, compared to $79.2 million, or $0.94 per share, excluding discontinued operations,
for the second quarter of 2013. <B> </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously announced, the company signed a definitive agreement to sell its antioxidants, ibuprofen and
propofol businesses which are treated as discontinued operations. The sale to SI Group is subject to customary closing conditions and expected to close later in 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company expects to report net sales, adjusted for discontinued operations, of approximately $605 million in the second quarter of 2014, up from net sales
of approximately $577 million in the second quarter of 2013. The improvement in results compared to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily driven by stronger than expected FCC volumes and higher volumes and favorable mix within polymer catalysts,
offsetting relatively weaker clear completion fluid results, related to customer specific order patterns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Stronger Catalyst Solutions trends drove
higher than expected second quarter earnings results, attributable to a combination of modest improvements in end market demand during the period and a shift in certain orders from the third quarter into the second quarter,&#148; said
Albemarle&#146;s president and CEO Luke Kissam. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company also announced today that it will release second quarter earnings results one week later than
previously announced, after the NYSE closes on Wednesday, July&nbsp;30, 2014. The company will hold its conference call to discuss second quarter 2014 results on Thursday, July&nbsp;31, 2014 at 9:00 am ET. This call will be webcast by NASDAQ OMX and
can be accessed at Albemarle Corporation&#146;s website at http://investors.albemarle.com or by phone at the following number: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dial-In #: 888-713-4213
