Good morning everyone. Thanks for joining us today. I&#8217;ll begin by giving you a brief overview of our second quarter results and Sam Thomas will provide comments on current market trends we see in each of our business segments.  I&#8217;ll then finish up by commenting on our outlook for the remainder of 2014. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We reported net income for the second quarter of 2014 of $20.1 million, or $0.65 per diluted share.  This included acquisition related and facility startup costs of approximately $2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. This quarter also includes a $0.01 per diluted share impact associated with additional shares taken into account from our convertible notes.  Excluding these items, earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 would have been $0.70 per diluted share as compared to second quarter of 2013 net income of $20 million, or $0.64 per diluted share. The prior year quarter earnings would have been $0.70 per diluted share excluding $4.8 million of acquisition related costs and flood damage expenses sustained at our Decin, Czech Republic facility as well as $0.02 per diluted share impact associated with the convertible notes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Sales for the quarter were $307 million and represented an increase of 3% compared to net sales of $298 million a year ago. Improvement was largely due to additional project volume in E&amp;C&#8217;s process systems segment offset by shortfall in BioMedical commercial oxygen generation systems. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Our gross profit for the quarter was $92.2 million or 30% of sales compared with $89.8 million or 30.1% of sales a year ago. Gross profit improved as a result of higher project revenues in E&amp;C and a favorable product mix in D&amp;C &#8211; I&#8217;m sorry &#8211; in D&amp;S.  In addition, lower volume in commercial oxygen generation system projects along with higher respiratory warranty costs in BioMedical partially offset some of the improvement. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">With respect to the E&amp;C business, sales increased 18% to $93 million in the second quarter, led by improvement in our process systems segment with higher LNG and natural gas processing-related projects.  Gross margins were 26.5% compared to 29% in the prior year quarter. Decline in margin percentage is due to larger volume of both lower margin base-load LNG, industrial gas-related projects. In addition to startup costs of the E&amp;C&#8217;s new facility in Wuxi, China it has expanded the La Crosse, Wisconsin facility.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In D&amp;S, second quarter sales increased 1% year-over-year to $149 million, as LNG sales in North America and Europe offset lower than expected China LNG shipments due to customer delays.  Gross margins for D&amp;S improved to 30.6% compared to 28.4% a year ago, due to regional and product mix weighted more toward higher margin products. The result also includes the favorable impact from resolution of an LNG contract which was partially canceled during the quarter. This normalizes the year-to-date project margin as it offset cost incurred during the first quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In our BioMedical business, sales declined 10% to $65 million in the second quarter 2014 compared with $72 million for the same quarter in the prior year. This decrease represents lower sales of commercial oxygen generation systems due to lower than anticipated large project orders for this product line and delays in project timing.  While BioMedical respiratory therapy business finished $2.2 million short of the prior year, it improved 35% sequentially. We&#8217;re beginning to see positive signs in the global respiratory market. Our cryobiological storage business grew 14% year-over-year and helped to offset the shortfall in the respiratory business. BioMedical gross profit margin declined to 33.8% in the quarter compared with 34.7% for the same period in 2013 due to lower volume in commercial oxygen generation systems and higher warranty costs associated with respiratory therapy products.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">SG&amp;A expenses for the quarter were $53.7 million, up $1.8 million from the same quarter a year ago.

The increase in the effective tax rate was due to the expiration of the R&amp;D credit at the end of 2013 in addition to a higher mix of U.S. earnings that are taxed at a higher rate.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I&#8217;ll now turn the call over to Sam Thomas.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Samuel F. Thomas, Chairman, President &amp; Chief Executive Officer, Chart Industries, Inc.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;"><hr></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you, Michael, and good morning, everyone. While we&#8217;ve faced some near term headwinds this quarter, we remain confident in our go-to market strategy and the long-term global growth drivers in the markets we serve.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Sequential orders improved in the second quarter 2014 from the first quarter of 2014 as D&amp;S and BioMedical both grew in excess of 10% while E&amp;C was lower by 13% due to timing of project awards. We&#8217;re very excited by the announcement of three significant awards for liquefaction over the past 60 days, including the two awards we announced today which will be reflected in our third quarter backlog.  This represents in excess of $80 million of new LNG awards during that period for our E&amp;C business. Demand to small to mid-scale liquefaction plants continues to grow and represents one of the most cost-effective avenues to provide LNG as a fuel for transportation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Our D&amp;S business continues to grow globally as we saw a 19% increase in sequential order intake. Demand for LNG equipment worldwide continues to grow, and we see more balanced global interests led by demand growth in Asia. We&#8217;ve made progress during the quarter in ramping up our La Crosse, Wisconsin brazed aluminum heat exchanger facility expansion. In addition, we held a ground breaking in China at our new greenfield site near Changzhou as planned. Finally, we closed the Wuxi acquisition in China.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Let me comment now on specific highlights for each of our business segments. Our E&amp;C booked $57 million of orders in the second quarter including the previously announced LNG Holdings liquefaction plant. While this is down sequentially from the $65 million we booked in the first quarter, timing of award projects are often lumpy as evidenced by today&#8217;s announcement of two awards for more than $60 million in third quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Small to mid-scale LNG opportunities continue to evolve. These facilities will use Chart&#8217;s proprietary liquefaction technology and will be used for diesel replacement merchant supply.  Our capacity addition in La Crosse enables us to typically manufacture a standard LNG plant in 12 to 16 months, delivering the fastest turnaround time from final investment decision to delivering LNG available in the market.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We also announced the Golar Floating LNG project award today from Black &amp; Veatch. We will be providing multiple cold boxes each containing brazed aluminum heat exchangers. Chart&#8217;s heat exchanger technology and know-how delivers unique advantages for use in floating applications due to size and capacity flexibility.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">3</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We closed our E&amp;C acquisition in Wuxi, China during the second quarter. As a reminder, this acquisition will add manufacturing capacity for low-pressure brazed aluminum heat exchangers for air separation applications and fabrication of cold boxes for LNG liquefaction and other petrochemical projects in Asia.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We&#8217;ve already begun the process of moving our current E&amp;C cold box fabrication operation out of the D&amp;S facility in Changzhou, China. We anticipate this transition and associated startup-related spending to be complete during the third quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We continue to see opportunities from shale gas development, whether dry, wet or associated with tight oil production. The recent introduction of Bakken flare gas regulations in North Dakota is a good example of how Chart products can help companies achieve regulatory hurdles.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Moving on to D&amp;S, we booked orders of $163 million in the second quarter, which includes an $8 million reduction from the partial contract cancellation announced in our previous earnings release. Despite that adjustment, second quarter orders were up 15% from our first quarter orders of $143 million. Sequentially, for LNG related orders, China continues its growth delivering a 9% increase. In the U.S., we experienced strong LNG order growth of 18% from the previous quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">During the quarter, we announced a strategic supply agreement with Hanas New Energy in China to supply 50 permanent LNG fuel stations over the next 30 months. To date, we&#8217;ve received approximately $7 million in orders associated with this agreement. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We broke ground on a greenfield site near our Changzhou operation during the quarter and expect a completion in the first half of 2015.  Despite lower than anticipated China sales in the first half of 2014, which we view as a timing issue, the market continues to grow as our orders remain strong. We are confident of the long-term growth in China and this expansion will allow us to meet expected future demand.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">North American industrial gas activity has continued to improve during the second quarter as we saw a 23% increase in sequential order growth from the first quarter and a 14% increase in revenue after the weather-related impacts we experienced during the first quarter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Our LNG vehicle fuel system production for the U.S. market continues to grow steadily. Volumes for the first six months of 2014 exceeded that of all 2013. In Europe, both industrial gas and LNG demand is improving. We continue to innovate, for example, we are now working with VTG, a leading European railcar and leasing and logistics company on LNG railcar prototypes, and we are the first LNG truck fuel tank manufacturer to receive ECE certification.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In our BioMedical segment, orders of $61 million were up 10% compared to $55 million in the first quarter. Respiratory orders were up 7% from the first quarter, and as Michael mentioned earlier, sales for respiratory therapy equipment in the second quarter improved 35% sequentially. We&#8217;re cautiously optimistic as we continue to see signs of an improving U.S. respiratory market. We will monitor the market closely while we continue to focus internally on cost reduction initiatives.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Cryobiological cold storage orders were up 12% from the first quarter and 10% from 2013. We formed new customer relationships that will allow us to meet developing customer needs further as anticipated spending on R&amp;D growth, especially in Asia.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">On site gas generation orders for the quarter improved 46% sequentially, while sales results were down as environmental project order timings slipped into 2015. We anticipate long-term growth in this market and have improved lead-times with our standard products while investing in human capital to prepare for the future.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Michael will now provide you with our outlook for the remainder of 2014.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">4</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Michael F.

As mentioned earlier, customer delays have impacted our results in D&amp;S China. In addition, Chinese regulatory approvals for mobile fueling stations and certain mobile equipment have caused shipment delays.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">BioMedical orders, while improving, are still erratic month-to-month. These events have caused us to reevaluate our anticipated results for the remainder of the year, as such we are adjusting our sales and earnings guidance.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Sales for 2014 are now expected to be in the range of $1.22 billion to $1.27 billion. And diluted earnings per share expected to be in the range of $2.85 to $3.15 per diluted share, an approximately 31 million weighted average shares outstanding. This excludes any dilution impact resulting from the notes or any acquisition related costs.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">This compares with previous sales guidance of $1.25 billion to $1.3 billion and earnings guidance of $3.00 to $3.40 per diluted share on approximately 30.7 million weighted average shares outstanding.

Hi Michael.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Good morning.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Eric Stine &#8211; Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Maybe we can just start with the customer delays. Could you give me, you know, just a little more clarity there, whether it was a handful of customers or more broad based, and then also just provide some details. You mentioned government approval projects and that&#8217;s pushing some things out.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah, most of this is associated either with our IMCs, or packaged skid-mounted fuel stations, in China, where there have been new regulations promulgated and it actually prevented putting new stations into operation during the period. Those regulations have now been finalized for the Beijing region and are expected to be published shortly as a national standard. So we expect to see that move forward, but it affected a handful of customers but a significant part of our total sales.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Eric Stine &#8211; Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah, and those are not, I mean, is that something that is going to persist for a while even though these are finalized that it&#8217;s not something obviously you don&#8217;t anticipate that you&#8217;re going to make up all of that in 2014?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">It&#8217;s difficult; the local folks are optimistic that they&#8217;ll make up a large part of it in 2014. Seeing the speed that and the challenges they have had, I expect it will go into 2015, particularly with PetroChina.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Eric Stine &#8211; Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Got it. That&#8217;s helpful. Maybe just turning to small and mid-scale liquefaction and the project with Bechtel, just wondering if you could talk about what the pipeline looks like with Bechtel in those projects and then just looking for some feedback in the market on your modular LNG offering, I think that&#8217;s been in the market for about a year and given that&#8217;s the way the market is going, just what you&#8217;re hearing from your customers?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Well, as you know, we&#8217;ve announced a number of orders now for both 100,000 and 450,000 gallons per day plants. They&#8217;re in our pipeline. There continue to be a number of opportunities for companies in most regions of the United States, East Coast, Gulf Coast, West Coast, Canada, that we&#8217;re actively pursuing with a number of partners and potential customers. So, I would say that, the market has evolved, so that there are more people looking at 100,000 gallon/day liquefiers, and now there is more activity on the larger 250,000 gallon and 400,000 gallon per day liquefiers, so it looks very encouraging.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Eric Stine &#8211; Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Maybe last one for me, just moving to BioMed, clearly some signs, early signs of optimism. I mean, what do you need to see before you&#8217;re truly convinced that there is a recovery here, and that second quarter was not just a recovery or kind of a bounce back from Q1?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The challenge is as we see also with orders in the industrial gas market, they are erratic. Customers are more positive in their view of the future and see things improving. But we do see a strong month or a strong weeks followed by quiet weeks. So it&#8217;s challenging to see &#8211; to say at what pace we&#8217;re actually proceeding.  It&#8217;s not unlike the U.S. GDP numbers where we have a negative first quarter, and a very strong second quarter.  I can only characterize them as erratic. The optimism is there. The view is we&#8217;re headed in the right direction for stronger demand and more stable markets, but in terms of orders received on a daily basis, it&#8217;s up and down.</font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">6</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Eric Stine &#8211; Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In terms of industry destocking, where do you see that right now?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I think in general that in both North America and in Europe, destocking levels have continued to come down.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Eric Stine &#8211; Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.

It&#8217;s Noah Kaye in for Colin. Going back to China, can we get an updated estimate versus what was put out during the Analyst Day in terms of stations and vehicles in 2014 and 2015, and how you think your share of growth is tracking?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I wouldn&#8217;t have an update since that Analyst Day, eight weeks ago.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Noah Kaye &#8211; Northland Securities, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I mean, I guess the question is how have these delays kind of impacted the overview for the overall industry for the year, and do you see any reason, why that will materially affect next year?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The view is very positive that activity levels are increasing and our customers tell us that it&#8217;s going to move forward rapidly, which is consistent with what we forecast at the Analyst Day. To change that forecast would assume we&#8217;ve got precision in our forecasting ability and our customers have precision in their forecasting ability, which clearly isn&#8217;t there, based on our recent forecast.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">And the order intake continues to be strong in China. You know, for our equipment it just, the disconnect is on the sales side of it because of these customer delays and the regulatory delays over there.  So once I think that works through, and again some of it&#8217;s going to push into 2015, our expectation is that 2015 is going to have, you know, the growth that we originally mentioned at the Analyst Day.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Noah Kaye &#8211; Northland Securities, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">And have you changed at all your timeframe for the ramp in Changzhou?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">No, we have not in terms of the facility expansion, we continue to move forward on that, and that will be complete in the first half of 2015.

Your line is now open.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Kathryn Thompson &#8211; Thompson Research Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you for taking my questions today. You hedge a little bit of questions about the new projects that may be in terms of the revenue flow through. Could you discuss the potential margin profile for these, point one. And then the point two, what can we do to gain confidence that we don&#8217;t run the into the same type of issues you had with another large customer in that E&amp;C segment as these larger projects flow through. In other words, what have you done to set up some risk management on the front end to prevent margin issues going forward?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">First, I would anticipate the gross margins on these projects to be consistent with gross margins for E&amp;C overall. Second aspect is that these cold boxes &#8211; the cold box fabrication for these are at a significantly lower level of complexity, are standardized designs which we have built previously. So we have a much better handle on them compared to the large base-load LNG facilities which had continuous engineering changes going on while we were in fabrication, which was the primary source of the challenges.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Kathryn Thompson &#8211; Thompson Research Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Perfect. Where do you stand, you&#8217;ve spoken in the past couple quarters, about the flow through of real margin projects through E&amp;C, mostly heading into first half. How do these flow through in second half, and when should we think about returning or approaching to the more 30% type margin &#8211; the high 20s or low 30% type margin for E&amp;C?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The remaining large base-load LNG projects will flow through between now and the first quarter of 2015. There is additional work going on in 2016 on one remaining cold box. But we&#8217;re in active discussions of ways to improve the margins on that by providing enhanced deliveries to the customer.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Kathryn Thompson &#8211; Thompson Research Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Could you quantify the impact of the &#8211; you talked about your D&amp;S segment benefiting from partial contract cancellation? Could you quantify that impact in the quarter just reported?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I think that the best way to do that was just &#8211; is that, as we stated, that if you look at the year-to-date gross margin for D&amp;S overall, which was roughly two margin points different between the first quarter and the second quarter. That shows that there were costs absorbed associated with that contract in the first quarter that were not reflected with any change orders. And there were relatively few costs associated with that project in the second quarter and came to a contract settlement with the customer. So that swing is the 1% either way on the gross margin is generally the impact.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Kathryn Thompson &#8211; Thompson Research Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. So about 100 basis points.</font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">8</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yes.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Kathryn Thompson &#8211; Thompson Research Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. And then finally, when thinking about modeling that BioMedical, as you&#8217;ve made some progress, how should we think about modeling as we go into the back half of the year and as we rollover into early 2015, just so we can manage our expectations so we don&#8217;t get over the tips of our skis, so to speak, with margins.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">For the year, BioMed will be now flat to down. Compared to last year, margins are still expected in the year to be in the mid-30%, 35% range. So we&#8217;d expect a little bit of pick up in the second half.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Kathryn Thompson &#8211; Thompson Research Group LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.

Maybe I&#8217;ll ask this way. If those contracts sort of move into 2015, do they double up from maybe what you were thinking or what they were thinking to do in 2015 or does it just sort of push their projects out and do they sort of delay everything?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">That wouldn&#8217;t be our expectation right now that they would double up.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Rob Brown &#8211; Lake Street Capital Markets LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.

On the European rail business, you talked about a project with an LNG railcar, maybe give us a sense of what&#8217;s happening with the rail market in Europe. Are you seeing &#8211; is this just test phase or are you seeing more activity in Europe around the LNG rail market?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">It&#8217;s serious interest, and it&#8217;s a real project to build prototype railcars. Our customer is fairly bullish and enthusiastic. But I don&#8217;t have sufficient knowledge of the timing of the implementation in the rail industry in Europe, or the rail industry anywhere, actually, to give you a good feel.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I think that -- it makes sense, and it has a high likelihood of being used. But at this stage of the development, it&#8217;s very hard to call timing for commercial applications.</font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">9</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Rob Brown &#8211; Lake Street Capital Markets LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Good. And then last question on the LNG truck tanks. You said the first half was sort of better than or equal to all of last year. What are the trends you&#8217;re seeing there? Is that continuing to ramp into next year? And is it &#8211; were there some one-time orders or what&#8217;s sort of the LNG truck tank outlook for the next sort of 18 months?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">It&#8217;s positive. We&#8217;re winning orders from a broader number of customers. We&#8217;re still at, generally, what each fleet that&#8217;s buying considers to be trials or their first or second go-around. And we expect to see orders from additional fleets &#8211; additional customers during this year with continuing interest. It will be helped significantly, as more LNG merchant liquid becomes available for the transportation market.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Rob Brown &#8211; Lake Street Capital Markets LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you. I&#8217;ll turn it over.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Operator:  Our next question comes from the line of Chase Jacobson from William Blair. Your line is now open.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Chase Jacobson &#8211; William Blair &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah. Hi. It&#8217;s Chase Jacobson. Just a couple of questions on the guidance. First, on the revenue guidance, is the reduction because of the delays that were experienced this quarter or does it take into account a potential for further delays?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">And also just on a percentage basis, it&#8217;s small, but I noticed that the reduction in the mid-point of the EPS guidance is a little bit more than the reduction in the earnings guidance. Does that have to do with the cost &#8211; the expansion costs or does that just have to do with margin on what&#8217;s in your backlog?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Did you mean sales guidance or the &#8211; you said the EPS...</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Chase Jacobson &#8211; William Blair &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah. So, first, on the sales guidance, is the lower guidance because of the delays this quarter or does it take into account future delays also or risk of future delays as well?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">It takes into account sort of a lowering of our expectations because of those delays for this year...</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Chase Jacobson &#8211; William Blair &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">... in addition to this quarter. On both the &#8211; in China in terms of their business in D&amp;S and also on the BioMedical commercial products business.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Chase Jacobson &#8211; William Blair &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. And then, I guess, the second part of the question was the mid-point of the EPS guidance was just a little bit &#8211; was down a little bit more than the mid-point of the revenue guidance. So is there anything to read into that in terms of the expansion costs or just margin, in general?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">No, I don&#8217;t think so. It&#8217;s just, certainly, expansion costs have an impact on the start-up costs, but we&#8217;ve had both at La Crosse and at the Wuxi facility that we&#8217;ve factored in here now. In addition to, there is a slight difference of share count that we had in our forecast from last quarter that will create a $0.01 or $0.02 difference, but nothing else to read into that.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Chase Jacobson &#8211; William Blair &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. And, Sam, you guys have done a pretty good job over the last year on petrochem and industrial gas. We&#8217;ve been hearing mixed from a lot of contractors in terms of what the future of the U.S. chemical market looks like, and most are optimistic long-term. But hearing about, you know, projects being pushed out and customers going back and </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">10</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">pressuring their supply chain. Can you give us any update on what&#8217;s going on in the U.S. chemical market from that standpoint?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Sure. I think that the comments you are suggesting coming from the marketplace are true and anticipated. We&#8217;re getting after a number of, in particular, ethylene projects going forward. Those later in the queue always become questionable and they&#8217;re always more worried about the potential payback.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">You have to understandable that for both the ethylene projects and the propylene projects that we participate in, the projects that have been announced and are already going forward, do make a significant difference in the total global capacity of ethylene and propylene and we anticipate that there will be a slowdown in the number of orders compared to what we have seen over the last 18 months going forward, so that you&#8217;re apt to see only perhaps one ethylene project a year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I mean, it&#8217;s fairly typical that a petrochemical capacity build out, it will be fairly strong for two to four years and then go through a cyclic lull, and I believe there are still a couple of projects on ethylene that are apt to go forward. But I think there will be a pronounced slow down for a period of time for several years following that.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Chase Jacobson &#8211; William Blair &amp; Co.

LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Could you talk a bit about the FLNG opportunity. Do you see more of these orders on the horizon? Just looking for some color on potential size and timing of this market for you.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We&#8217;ve got a number of potential FLNG projects where we&#8217;re either a heat exchanger or cold box supplier or potentially providing a full liquefaction package. We think it&#8217;s a significant opportunity. It&#8217;s very hard to weigh commercially the advantages of specific projects at this point, and timing. But there is an increased level of interest similar to what we see for mid-scale LNG plants. Whether they&#8217;re land based or to be based as floating plants. I think that the floating plants are apt to be associated with relatively smaller gas yields or stranded gas in various parts of the world as opposed to North American opportunities, although there are a couple of exceptions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Igor Levi &#8211; Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you. And you mentioned that this was a modularized LNG system so it fits what you guys provide very nicely. How big was this system for this particular order?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I don&#8217;t have that readily at hand. I think I would refer you to Black &amp; Veatch as to what they have said.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Igor Levi &#8211; Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. And have you seen any change in the LNG versus CNG mix when it comes to demand for class &#8211; for the Class A to natural gas trucks?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Well, as you know, we don&#8217;t participate directly in the CNG market.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Igor Levi &#8211; Morgan Stanley &amp; Co.

With those requiring greater range being focused more towards LNG. I think our view is that both will be present for Class A trucks and that those who require range will opt towards LNG. I also think that LNG is apt to take a larger share as more LNG liquid is available for transportation fuel.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Igor Levi &#8211; Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Great. And one last thing on the diesel emission requirements change in China, has that been having the desired effect. What are your customers saying on that front?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I think the view is very positive that because of the emissions requirements and the hard deadline for diesel engines, it makes the cost of an LNG powered truck comparable to a diesel powered truck and subject to build out of the infrastructure, which has been somewhat slowed down by these regulatory issues, and sufficient availability of LNG for transportation. We expect to see significant build out and a significant market share gain in the total truck population for LNG.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Igor Levi &#8211; Morgan Stanley &amp; Co.

Just going back to the U.S. chemical market, the orders for the type of equipment manufactured by Chart, do you think most of those orders have been placed for the buildout of the ethane crackers and derivative petchem plants?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">There&#8217;s still a number of open projects. At least one ethylene cracker is reportedly going ahead that we&#8217;re bidding on. And we have high hopes for being the successful bidder on that project. There are a couple of PDF plants or propylene plants also that we&#8217;re led to believe will go forward, but I don&#8217;t anticipate new projects being announced at the frequency they were 12 months to 24 months ago. I think we&#8217;re in a period where the expectation is that the existing plants that are going forward will be built out and come on stream, and we&#8217;ll look for more clarity of the future demand picture.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Martin Malloy &#8211; Johnson Rice &amp; Co.

Your line is now open.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you. Sam, I wonder if you could just provide a little more color on the regulatory changes in China impacting station development. Is that having any impact on &#8211; I don&#8217;t know whether it&#8217;s the design or specs of your product or the cost of a station operator that might be changing the economics in either direction from an investment perspective?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">No. The finalized regulations published for Hebei or the Beijing districts are very consistent with the stations we have been providing with two changes. One is a </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">12</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">regulatory change that requires the dispenser to be a minimum of two meters away from the rest of the tank and pumping system, and the second is a requirement on access space around the tank within the container, both straightforward for us to deal with. For others, there are required changes to their safety systems and some of the components they utilize, so it&#8217;s not a commercial or technical issue for us to comply, but we do have the time period now of fully understanding how long it takes to go from provincial authority regulations or national authority regulation to local safety officials signing off.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah, okay. Thank you. And then just regarding some of the drivers you&#8217;ve cited in the past as impacting the China markets, you just mentioned NS4. In the past, we talked a little bit about just the outlook for any statutory changes to natural gas or diesel pricing.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">So, on those two fronts, is it still the market&#8217;s perception that the NS4 go live date is that a fixed date or any change of potential push out there. Any additional thoughts on the fuel pricing issues?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">To my knowledge, there&#8217;s been no change in the implementation date of January 1 for NS4 regulation for diesel emissions. And in terms of other regulation, the drivers we have talked about earlier, the fact that natural gas prices, LNG prices seem to have stabilized or come down slightly. And that low sulfur diesel, diesel prices have had announced price increases and are expected as demand goes up because of NS4 vehicles to continue strong.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">So the market drivers on economics are strong. I&#8217;m told there is more supply of natural gas available. I think that&#8217;s one of China&#8217;s biggest challenges is growing the use of LNG to get the pollution benefit in their cities as quickly as possible without consuming too much natural gas to make sure that they have enough for heating requirements in the winter.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Thank you. And then on this small scale facility you announced with Bechtel this morning, can you just walk us through how the sale process typically works there. Is Chart, when you&#8217;re selling a standardized plant, is Chart marketing directly to the company and then you bring in an EPC firm or is it the EPC firm that you&#8217;re marketing to that the company has already selected or how does that work?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211;  Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Both models are in play. This project was developed in partnership with Bechtel.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Michael, can you quantify, you know, 2014 within E&amp;C, that margin is being burdened by these base load projects. I don&#8217;t know if you have the numbers at your fingertips, but how much revenue on those type of projects will run through your P&amp;L this year versus I think Sam mentioned it should be completed Q1 of next year, how do those revenue numbers?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">$50 million in revenue for the year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co.

LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">And then next year de minimis.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah, next year it would be the $10 million to $15 million range depending upon there &#8211; as Sam mentioned there are some changes that we&#8217;re working on. But that may add maybe another $10 million of revenue right now, not completely determined.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. And then just the last two questions on BioMed, is it a mix shift in your product line that&#8217;s changing gross margins a little bit lower in the first half than maybe </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">13</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">they were last year, and if not, or maybe just comment on the change there and your outlook going forward?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Well, it&#8217;s a combination of one volume because the volume is lower, so you&#8217;re not absorbing as much overhead. The other is commercial products. We had a large order last year that we shipped in the second quarter that had a high margin to it, the commercial products business in there is somewhat comparable on large projects to E&amp;C &#8211; orders tend to be lumpy, they&#8217;re a percentage of completion, in terms of how we recognize. So, the margin profile in that business is lower this year.  And then in terms of the warranty expense on the respiratory side has been at higher rate in the first half of this year, dampening margins.  We think we have a good handle on that, and we&#8217;re actually reducing pretty significantly the repair costs on the stationary product line that AirSep had that we &#8211; when we acquired them, and it&#8217;s come down pretty significantly since the time we acquired them to where we are now, and we think we can continue to make progress on that, but it is having an impact on margins.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">At least the first half, it did.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you. And then just the last question on BioMed is, so it&#8217;s showed some improvement sequentially from March to June. Maybe what are the bigger picture drivers there that are going to underscore a real longer term stabilization, is it &#8211; I don&#8217;t know, is it lack of reimbursement rate changes? Is it, I don&#8217;t know, inventory corrections in the channel, whatever those are, is there anything you could add to your perspective on where we are in that cycle?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">It&#8217;s more inventory correction, because you&#8217;re seeing a lot of pretty significant consolidation in the distributors with our customers in terms of working through, and it&#8217;s hard to get an estimate on how much inventory and when they do these consolidations that they have on hand, but that continues to work through, as we said, we&#8217;re seeing positive signs but it&#8217;s erratic.  And ultimately, it&#8217;s going to work through. People need the oxygen equipment for &#8211; that have COPD, and we think it will stabilize, but it&#8217;s not likely to happen until next year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Greg McKinley &#8211; Dougherty &amp; Co. LLC&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. All right. Thank you.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Our next question comes from the line of Pavel Molchanov of Raymond James. Your line is now open.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Justin Jenkins &#8211; Raymond James &amp; Associates, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Hi, guys. This is actually Justin Jenkins on for Pavel. I guess, just a quick one to start on capex, we&#8217;d seen year-to-date capex be pretty low again, would it be fair to expect a second half bump similar to last year?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yeah, I mean, our expectation right now is that it will be in the $80 million range. We should see some pickup in the second half of the year. There has been some delays in the China expansion of regulatory things that we&#8217;re working through over there, but I would expect it to be in that $70 million to $80 million range for the year still.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Justin Jenkins &#8211; Raymond James &amp; Associates, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Perfect. Thank you. And then I guess secondly, Sam, you mentioned the Bakken flaring rule changes in your opening remarks, is there anything you can share from an activity perspective for the opportunities there since the rules have been changed?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Yes, we&#8217;re seeing a number of people interested in liquefiers, LNG liquefiers for that region. And also there&#8217;s quite a bit of midstream activity in terms of consideration for building condensate upgrade plants and gas processing plants, basically put in the kinds of infrastructure that more established fields have and similar to what&#8217;s available in the Eagle Ford for instance.</font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">14</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Justin Jenkins &#8211; Raymond James &amp; Associates, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Great.

Your line is now open.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Alex Potter &#8211; Piper Jaffray &amp; Co.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thanks. Hi, guys. I was wondering if you could comment a bit on D&amp;S in North America specifically with regard to LNG station construction. What are you hearing from customers, you know, their intentions to start ramping back up, LNG stations or continuing kind of a wait and see mode?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We are building stations. Some have been going ahead as originally forecast. Some have had slight delays. I think we anticipate delivering most of the stations we have in backlog during 2014 or early 2015. I believe the view is more strongly that as more liquid becomes available and more trucks are on the road, you&#8217;ll be able to put stations into service quickly. I think the designs are fairly well finalized. There are stations available for deployment. It&#8217;s no longer a gating factor for acceptance of LNG truck.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Alex Potter &#8211; Piper Jaffray &amp; Co.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Got it. I was wondering also on the Wuxi costs, was just wondering if those came in as planned or if you&#8217;re calling those out because there were some unexpected costs that you hadn&#8217;t foreseen.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Michael Biehl &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">It was cost that we had perceived that wasn&#8217;t in our forecast originally, and we&#8217;ll have some additional startup costs in the third quarter that we have now factored into our forecast for the year.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Alex Potter &#8211; Piper Jaffray &amp; Co.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay. Very good. And then, I guess, the last question also on D&amp;S, I was wondering if you could comment just generally speaking at this point, how much of D&amp;S is industrial gas oriented and what&#8217;s your kind of expectation looking out over the next several quarters or a year in terms of growth rates?</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;A &#8211; Sam Thomas &#8211; Chart Industries, Inc.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I think we&#8217;re at roughly 30% of the D&amp;S turnover is in LNG. We had that in the presentation for our Analyst Day six or eight weeks ago. And I think that at the moment, we&#8217;re circumspect about calling anything out on a quarter-to-quarter basis because of timing but would expect significant growth particularly in China in LNG related sales over the next &#8211; or in 2015 and 2016 as well as in the U.S., certainly growing at a faster pace than the industrial gas business. But we also do see good prospects for renewed growth in industrial gas particularly in the U.S. and Europe over the coming years. But I would say that we would see it moving into the 40% of sales range in the 2015, 2016 timeframe.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">&lt;Q &#8211; Alex Potter &#8211; Piper Jaffray &amp; Co.&gt;: </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Okay.

It&#8217;s actually, Sam Thomas, I&#8217;ll conclude. I&#8217;d like to say thank you. We&#8217;re facing some headwinds associated with customer and regulatory delays in China. We remain positive about the long-term fundamental drivers of our business, especially growing LNG demand, and we&#8217;re committed to meet that demand in the markets we serve.</font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">15</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s0164740B0AD446F621DE931F5F21740B"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:8pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:8pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Evidenced by recent awards, we believe a positive trend continues to unfold in small to mid-scale liquefaction as the ability to get LNG to market faster is appealing to smaller regional and local entrepreneurs.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We&#8217;re well suited to meet this demand and we&#8217;re excited to serve these customers with quality products, service and dependability that we deliver day in and day out. The fundamental drivers of the spread between diesel and natural gas prices and the global availability of natural gas are intact.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">New commitments are still required across all areas of the LNG value chain and this is taking longer than we thought one year ago to play out. But we remain optimistic and we&#8217;ll continue to position the company with a flexible platform dedicated to serving our customers with innovative solutions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We continuously focus on capacity planning, project execution and operational excellence, so that we can remain the industry leader in LNG and natural gas processing solutions and technology and continue to support our industrial gas and BioMed business.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We&#8217;re convinced this is a strategy that will serve our customers well and provide superior performance to our investors.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Thank you, everyone, for listening today.
