Significant non-cash transactions
On January 28, 2013, we acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of PPG Industries, Inc.'s ("PPG") business relating to the production of chlorine, caustic soda and related chemicals (the "Merged Business" or the "PPG Chemicals Business"), through a merger between a subsidiary of PPG and a subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). The purchase price for these transactions was approximately $2.8 billion and consisted of: (i) the issuance of approximately 35.2 million shares of our common stock valued at approximately $1.8 billion; (ii) the assumption of $967.0 million of debt; and (iii) the assumption of certain other liabilities including pension and other postretirement obligations. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

AXIALL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

Our financial condition as of, and our operating results for, the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition and results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014 or any other interim period. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications are of a normal recurring nature and did not impact the Company's operating income or consolidated net income.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "2013 Annual Report"). There has been no material change in the significant accounting policies followed by us during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 from those disclosed in the 2013 Annual Report. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Axiall," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us," means Axiall Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

2. MERGER WITH THE PPG CHEMICALS BUSINESS

On January 28, 2013, we completed our acquisition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Merged Business and completed the related financings (collectively, the "Transactions"). We manage the Merged Business as part of our chlorovinyls business, and have reported the results of operations of the Merged Business as part of our chlorovinyls segment since January 28, 2013.

The purchase price of the Merged Business of approximately $2.8 billion consisted of: (i) the issuance of approximately 35.2 million shares of our common stock valued at approximately $1.8 billion; (ii) debt assumed of approximately $967.0 million; and (iii) the assumption of other liabilities, including pension liabilities and other post-retirement obligations.

Summary Pro Forma Information. The following unaudited pro forma information reflects our consolidated results of operations as if the Transactions had taken place on January 1, 2012. The pro forma information includes primarily adjustments for depreciation based on the estimated fair value of the property, plant and equipment acquired in the Merger, amortization of acquired intangible assets and interest expense on the debt we incurred to finance the Transactions. The pro forma information is

not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that we would have reported had the Transactions actually closed on January 1, 2012, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

(In millions, except per share data) |  | Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 |  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 |
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Net sales |  | $ | 1,272.8 |  | $ | 2,441.7 |
Net income attributable to Axiall |  | $ | 75.5 |  | $ | 66.6 |
Income per share attributable to Axiall: |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |  |
Basic |  | $ | 1.08 |  | $ | 0.95 |
Diluted |  | $ | 1.07 |  | $ | 0.95 |

Disclosure of revenues and earnings of the Merged Business since January 28, 2013 on a stand-alone basis is not practicable as the Merged Business is not being operated as a stand-alone business.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") 2014-12—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Under this Update: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, would be treated as a performance condition. GAAP did not address these issues. The Update states that a reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 to account for awards with performance conditions that affect the vesting of such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The stated vesting period (which includes the period in which the performance target could be achieved) may differ from the requisite service period. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the amendments in this Update and have not yet determined the impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Update outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance. The Update provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts with customers to provide goods and services. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. The Update is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standard must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach requires that the new standard be applied

to all new and existing contracts as of the date of adoption, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings at the effective date for existing contracts that still require performance by the entity. Under the modified retrospective approach, amounts reported prior to the date of adoption will be presented under existing guidance. The Update also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We have not yet determined the impact of adopting the standard on our financial statements. Nor have we determined whether we will utilize the full retrospective or modified retrospective approach.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08—Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this Update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopics 205 (Presentation of Financial Statements) and 360 (Property, Plant, and Equipment). The Update changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhances the FASB's convergence with International Accounting Standards. The Update improves the definition of discontinued operations by limiting discontinued operations reporting specifically to the disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity that results in a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when certain criteria are met. The Update raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within that year. We are evaluating the amendments in this Update and do not expect them to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Prior to this Update, GAAP did not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward existed. The Update provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In that case, the liability associated with the unrecognized tax benefit is presented in the financial statements as a reduction to the related deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. In situations in which a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial statements as a liability and will not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this Update do not require new recurring disclosures. The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. In accordance with this Update, at June 30, 2014, the Company reclassified liabilities associated with certain unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to a deferred tax assets for a net operating loss carryforward in the amount of $4.5 million.

6. GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND RESTRUCTURING

Our intangible assets consist of goodwill, customer relationships, supply contracts, trade names, and technology. Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets (including customer lists, trade names and technology) acquired and liabilities assumed under purchase accounting for business combinations.

Goodwill. We have two segments that contain reporting units with goodwill and intangible assets: our chlorovinyls segment includes goodwill in its chlor-alkali and derivatives and compound reporting units and our building products segment includes goodwill primarily in its siding reporting unit. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an immaterial correction of an error related to the overstatement of certain assets and deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with the acquisition accounting for the Merged Business that were outside of the measurement period. The Company recognized a $0.7 million decrease in the fair value of acquired net assets and a $0.7 million increase to goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. Management performed an evaluation under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 and concluded the effect of the adjustment is

immaterial to the current and prior periods' financial statements. The following table provides the detail of the changes made to goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consisted of certain trade names with a carrying value of $6.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 in our building products segment.

Definite-lived intangible assets. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had definite-lived intangible assets in our building products segment that related to customer relationships and technology. In the acquisition of the Merged Business, we acquired definite-lived intangible assets in our chlorovinyls segment. The values of these assets acquired are $1.1 billion for customer relationships, $42.6 million for supply contracts, $14.9 million for technology and $6.0 million for trade names. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no definite-lived intangible assets in our

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

The weighted average estimated useful life remaining for customer relationships, supply contracts, definite-lived trade names and technology is approximately 17 years, 19 years, 16 years, and 16 years, respectively. Amortization expense for the definite-lived intangible assets was $16.8 million and $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $33.6 million and $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The estimated annual amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets the next five fiscal years is approximately $67.1 million per year.

Restructuring: In September 2013, we initiated a restructuring plan in our building products segment consisting of various cost saving initiatives, including the reduction of overhead and plant labor, and the consolidation of various plants, primarily in the window and door profiles reporting unit, to improve utilization and efficiencies. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $1.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in restructuring charges in our building products segment that are included in Transaction-related costs and other, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to complete these restructuring initiatives in 2015 with additional expected restructuring charges in 2014 and 2015 totaling a combined $3.3 million.

Term Loan and ABL Revolver

As of June 30, 2014, outstanding borrowings under the Company's term loan facility (the "Term Loan") had a stated interest rate of 3.50 percent per annum.

The Company's asset based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Revolver") provides for a maximum of $500.00 million of revolving credit. The credit agreement governing the ABL Revolver (the "ABL Credit Agreement") contains customary covenants (subject to certain exceptions), including certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries to pay dividends. In addition, the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of 1.10 to 1.00 if excess availability is less than $62.5 million for three consecutive business days. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance in our ABL Revolver was $13.7 million with an interest rate of 3.75 percent. At December 31, 2013, we had no outstanding balance in our ABL Revolver. Our availability under the ABL Revolver at June 30, 2014 was approximately $400.8 million, net of outstanding letters of credit totaling $85.5 million and our ABL Revolver balance totaling $13.7 million.

As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with the covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Loan agreement, the indentures governing $688.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.625 percent senior notes of Eagle Spinco Inc. ("Spinco") due 2021 (the "4.625 Notes") and $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875 percent senior notes of Axiall Corporation due 2023 (the "4.875 Notes").

Lease Financing Obligation

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a lease financing obligation of $102.0 million and $104.7 million, respectively. The change from the December 31, 2013 balance is due to a one-time $2.3 million payment and the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate as of June 30, 2014. The lease financing obligation is the result of the sale and concurrent leaseback of certain land and buildings in Canada in 2007 for a term of ten years. In connection with this transaction, a collateralized letter of credit was issued in favor of the buyer-lessor, resulting in the transaction being recorded as a financing transaction rather than a sale for GAAP purposes. As a result, the land, building and related accounts continue to be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the collateralized letter of credit was $1.6 million and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We are not obligated to repay the lease financing obligation amount of $102.0 million. Our obligation is for the future minimum lease payments under the terms of the related lease agreements. The future minimum lease payments under the terms of the related lease agreements as of June 30, 2014 are $2.9 million in 2014, $5.9 million in 2015, $6.0 million in 2016 and $1.5 million in 2017, the final year of the lease agreements. The change in the future minimum lease payments from such amounts disclosed as of December 31, 2013 is due to a one-time $2.3 million payment, current period payments and the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate as of June 30, 2014.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the nature of such instruments. The fair values of our outstanding notes, as shown in the table below, are based on quoted market values. The fair value of our Term Loan facility is based on present rates for indebtedness with similar amounts, durations and credit risk. Our ABL Revolver is fair valued using comparable recent third party transactions. Our commodity hedge contracts are fair valued with Level 2 inputs based on quoted market values for similar but not identical financial instruments. When

Page 14 of 64

Table of Contents

computed for the purposes of impairment testing, the fair values of our goodwill and other acquired intangible assets are determined using Level 3 inputs. For further details concerning the fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, see Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These levels, in order of highest to lowest priority are described below:

Level 1 — |  | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — |  | Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3 — |  | Prices that are unobservable for the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances, which might include the Company's own data.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

|  | June 30, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013 |

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings. We are involved in a number of contingencies incidental to the normal conduct of our business including lawsuits, claims and environmental contingencies. The outcome of these contingencies is inherently unpredictable. We believe that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all known contingencies including lawsuits, claims and environmental contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements; however, specific outcomes with respect to such contingencies may be material to the financial statements of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Our assessment of the potential impact of the environmental contingencies is subject to uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments. In addition, the impact of evolving programs, such as natural resource damage claims, industrial site reuse initiatives and state remediation programs creates further uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of these environmental contingencies. We anticipate that the resolution of many contingencies, and in particular environmental contingencies, will occur over an extended period of time.

Page 15 of 64

Table of Contents

Environmental Matters. It is our policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental liabilities do not include any potential offsets related to claims against third parties.

Our operations and assets are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety regulations, including laws and regulations related to air emissions, water discharges, waste disposal and remediation of contaminated sites, at both the national and local levels in the United States. We are also subject to similar laws and regulations in Canada and other jurisdictions in which we operate. The nature of the chemical and building products industries exposes us to risks of liability under these laws and regulations due to the production, storage, use, transportation and sale of materials that can cause contamination or personal injury, including, in the case of chemicals, potential releases into the environment. Environmental laws may have a significant effect on the costs of use, transportation and storage of raw materials and finished products, as well as the costs of the storage and disposal of wastes. We have and will continue to incur substantial operating and capital costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. In addition, we may incur substantial costs, including fines, damages, criminal or civil sanctions and remediation costs, or experience interruptions in our operations for violations arising under these laws and regulations.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling approximately $62 million and $64 million, respectively, of which approximately $10 million and $12 million, respectively were classified as a current liability. Our assessment of the potential impact of these environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments.

Some of our significant environmental contingencies include the following matters:

•
  We have entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ") and various other parties for the environmental remediation of a portion of the Bayou d'Inde area of the Calcasieu River Estuary in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Remedy implementation is expected to begin during the fourth quarter of 2014 and continue for a number of years thereafter, with a period of monitoring for remedy effectiveness to follow remediation. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $24 million and $25 million, respectively, for the costs associated with this matter.
•
  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $15 million for environmental contingencies related to on-site remediation at the Lake Charles, Louisiana facility that we acquired as part of the Merged Business (the "Lake Charles South Facility") principally for ongoing remediation of groundwater and soil in connection with our corrective action permit issued pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The remedial activity is primarily the operation of a series of well water treatment systems across the Lake Charles South Facility. In addition, remediation of possible soil contamination will be conducted in certain areas. These remedial activities are expected to continue for an extended period of time.
•
  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $14 million for environmental contingencies related to remediation activities at our Natrium, West Virginia facility. The remedial actions address National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements related to hexachlorocyclohexane, which is commonly referred to as BHC. We expect that these remedial actions will be in place for an extended period of time.

Due to the nature of environmental laws, regulations and liabilities, it is possible that the reviews we conducted in connection with our evaluation of, and determination to enter into, the Transactions, may not have identified all potentially adverse conditions. Such conditions may not currently exist or be detectable through reasonable methods, or may not be able to be adequately valued. For example, our Natrium, West Virginia facility and Lake Charles South Facility have both been in operation for over 65 years. There may be significant latent liabilities or future claims arising from the operation of facilities of this age, and we may be required to incur material future remediation or other costs in connection with future actions or developments at these or other facilities.

We expect to be continually subjected to increasingly stringent environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and that continued compliance will require increased capital expenditures and increased operating costs or may impose restrictions on our present or future operations. It is difficult to predict the future interpretation and development of these laws and regulations or their impact on our future earnings and operations. Any increase in these costs, or any material restrictions, could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. However, estimated costs for future environmental compliance and remediation may be materially lower than actual costs, or we may not be able to quantify potential costs in advance. Actual costs related to any environmental compliance in excess of estimated costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition in one or more future periods.

Heightened interest in environmental regulation, such as climate change issues, has the potential to materially impact our costs and present and future operations. We, and other chemicals companies, are currently required to file certain governmental reports relating to greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions. The U.S. Government has considered, and may in the future implement restrictions or other controls on GHG emissions which could require us to incur significant capital expenditures or further restrict our present or future operations.

In addition to GHG regulations, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has recently taken certain actions to limit or control certain pollutants created by companies such as ours. For example:

•
  In January 2013, the EPA issued Clean Air Act emission standards for boilers and incinerators (the "Boiler MACT regulations"), which are aimed at controlling emissions of toxic air contaminants. The regulations would require covered facilities to comply by January 2016. The coal fired power plant at our Natrium, West Virginia facility would likely be our source most significantly impacted by the Boiler MACT regulations. While we are continuing to review the Boiler MACT regulations' impact on our operations, we believe bringing our operations into compliance with the new regulations will require significant capital expenditures. In addition, coming into compliance could result in increased operating costs. Because our evaluation of this matter is ongoing, no assurance as to the ultimate impact of the Boiler MACT regulations on our operations or overall business can be provided.
•
  In April 2012, the EPA issued final regulations to update emissions limits for polyvinyls chloride ("PVC") and copolymer production (the "PVC MACT regulation"). The PVC MACT regulation sets standards for major sources of PVC production and establishes certain working practices, as well as monitoring, reporting and record-keeping requirements. We would have until April 2015 to come into compliance. Following the issuance of the PVC MACT regulation, legal challenges were filed by the vinyl industry's trade organization, several vinyl manufacturers and several environmental groups, which will likely impact provisions of the PVC MACT regulation. However, there could be significant changes from the currently existing PVC MACT regulation after all legal challenges have been exhausted, which could require us to incur capital expenditures, or increase our operating costs, to levels significantly higher than what we have previously estimated.

•
  In March 2011, the EPA proposed amendments to the emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants. These proposed amendments would require improvements in work practices to reduce fugitive mercury emissions and would result in reduced levels of mercury emissions while still allowing the mercury cell facilities to continue to operate. We operate a mercury cell production unit at our Natrium, West Virginia facility. No assurances as to the timing or content of the final regulation, or its ultimate cost to, or impact on us, can be provided.

The potential impact of these and/or unrelated future, legislative or regulatory actions on our current or future operations cannot be predicted at this time but could be significant. Such impacts could include the potential for significant compliance costs, including capital expenditures, could result in operating restrictions or could require us to incur significant legal or other costs related to compliance or other activities. Any increase in the costs related to these initiatives, or restrictions on our operations, could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental Remediation: Reasonably Possible Matters. Our assessment of the potential impact of environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments. As such, in addition to the amounts currently reserved, we may be subject to reasonably possible loss contingencies related to environmental matters in the range of $60 million to $100 million. Initial remedial actions are occurring with respect to these matters at two plant sites: the Lake Charles South Facility and the Natrium Facility.

We monitor our estimate for reasonably possible environmental losses on a quarterly basis to determine if any of the reasonably possible loss items have become probable and estimable during the current quarter. It is our policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when management believes the amount of losses are probable and estimable. In addition, when environmental items that were previously reasonably possible become probable and estimable and, therefore, recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, we adjust our environmental reasonably possible exposure range accordingly.

Involuntary Conversion of Property, Plant and Equipment. On December 20, 2013 a fire occurred in what is commonly known as the Company's PHH vinyl chloride monomer ("VCM") manufacturing plant in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The fire impacted several process components of the PHH VCM manufacturing plant. Operations at the plant returned to full service at the end of June 2014. The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance policies that provided coverage for the losses arising from this incident, less applicable deductibles. We believe we will receive net insurance proceeds greater than the carrying value of the assets that were impacted by the fire and related cleanup and other costs. Consequently, we have recognized the probable net insurance proceeds to the extent of loss for the physical property damage resulting from the fire in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. We expect this will result in a net gain to the Company. We received a portion of our insurance claim for the physical property damage to the assets impacted by the fire in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. We anticipate we will receive additional net insurance proceeds for the physical property damage to the assets impacted by the fire, related cleanup and other costs and potentially for a business interruption claim associated with the incident based on the coverage in our insurance policies.

11. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

Defined Benefit Pension and OPEB Welfare Plans

The Company sponsors and/or contributes to other postretirement medical and insurance plans ("OPEB") and pension and other benefit plans covering many of our United States employees, in whole or in part, based on meeting certain eligibility criteria. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries have various pension plans and other forms of postretirement arrangements outside the United States, namely in Canada and Taiwan. As part of the Merger, we assumed certain liabilities related to pensions ("Assumed Pension Plans") and other postretirement benefit plans ("Assumed Postretirement Plans"). Refer to Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Merger. We had no other OPEB obligations prior to the Merger.

Certain employees in the United States who were hired before January 1, 2009 are covered by a defined benefit pension plan. That plan was frozen to future benefit accruals in 2009.

The Assumed Pension Plans provide benefits to certain employees and retirees of the Merged Business and are closed to new hires. Recently approved amendments to the Assumed Pension Plans for United States salaried employees froze all future benefit accruals for non-union employees effective January 31, 2014. The impact of these amendments to the Assumed Pension Plans was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Assumed Postretirement Plans are unfunded and provide medical and life insurance benefits for certain employees of the Merged Business and their dependents. In connection with the Merger, we also acquired an Employee Group Waiver Plan ("EGWP") for certain Medicare-eligible retirees of the Merged Business and their dependents. The EGWP includes a fully-insured Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, however the EGWP was eliminated effective January 1, 2014, as part of the changes described below. The Assumed Postretirement Plans require retiree contributions based on retiree-selected coverage levels for certain retirees and their dependents and provide for sharing of future benefit cost increases between the Company and participants.

Recently approved modifications to the Assumed Postretirement Plans were made with respect to certain participants, to deliver retiree medical benefits through health reimbursement account contributions. For the impacted participants, these retiree medical changes became effective on January 1, 2014 for Medicare eligible retirees and will become effective January 1, 2015 for non-Medicare eligible future retirees. In addition, life insurance benefits for our assumed United States non-bargained future retirees were eliminated effective January 1, 2014. These OPEB benefit changes were approved and communicated to participants in October 2013 and the quantitative financial impact to the Assumed Postretirement Plans for the United States has been reflected beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Assumptions

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the net periodic benefit income (expense) for the defined benefit pension and other postretirement welfare plans.

|  | Pensions |  | OPEB
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2014 |  | 2013

Table of Contents

The weighted-average healthcare cost trend rate (inflation) used for 2014 is 7.49 percent declining to 4.50 percent in the year 2024. In selecting the rates for our current and long-term health care cost assumptions, we take into consideration a number of factors including our actual health care cost increases, the design of our benefit programs, the demographics of our active and retiree populations and external expectations of future medical cost inflation rates.

Contributions

There were no significant contributions to the pension plan trusts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. We estimate that we will make payments of approximately $1.9 million for benefit payments related to our pension plans and $7.8 million for benefit payments related to OPEB plans for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Defined Contribution Plans

Most of our employees are covered by defined contribution plans under which we make contributions to individual employee accounts. Our expense related to our defined contribution plans was approximately $3.2 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $7.5 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We grant various types of share-based payment awards to participants, including restricted stock unit awards and stock option grants. The key terms of our restricted stock unit awards and our stock option grants, including all financial disclosures, are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Information regarding our stock-based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30, |

In computing diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, common stock equivalents of 0.6 million and 0.3 million shares were not included due to their anti-dilutive effect. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, common stock equivalents of 0.1 million shares were not included due to their anti-dilutive effect. Certain of our restricted stock units participate in dividend distributions, however, the distributions for these restricted stock units do not have a material impact on our earnings per share calculation.

14. INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were provisions of 27.9 percent and 15.3 percent, respectively, compared to provisions of 30.2 percent and 31.5 percent, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. The effective income tax rates were determined using the estimated annual effective tax rate after considering discrete items for each respective period. The effective income tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were lower than the United States statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to various permanent differences including deductions for manufacturing activities and the favorable impact of changes in uncertain tax positions (cumulative $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014). The effective income tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 were lower than the United States statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to various permanent differences, including deductions for manufacturing activities.

15. INVESTMENTS

We own a 50 percent interest in several manufacturing joint ventures in both our building products and chlorovinyls segments. In addition, and in connection with the Merger, we acquired a 50 percent ownership interest in RS Cogen, LLC ("RS Cogen"), which produces electricity and steam that are primarily sold to Axiall and its joint venture partner under take-or-pay contracts with terms that extend to 2022 and is reported in our chlorovinyls segment. The joint venture was formed with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy Corporation ("Entergy") in 2000 for the construction and operation of a 425 megawatt combined cycle, natural gas-fired cogeneration facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the majority of which was financed by loans having terms that extend to 2022 from a syndicate of banks. Axiall's future commitment to purchase electricity and steam from the joint venture per the take-or-pay contracts approximates $23.5 million per year subject to contractually defined inflation adjustments. As of June 30, 2014, our future commitment under the take-or-pay arrangement approximates $199.1 million in the aggregate, with purchases during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 totaling $12.4 million.

RS Cogen is a variable interest entity under GAAP. The daily operations of the cogeneration facility are the activities of RS Cogen that most significantly impact its economic performance. These activities are directed by a management team with oversight by a management committee that has equal representation from Axiall and Entergy. By the terms of the joint venture agreement, all decisions of the management committee require approval by a majority of its members. Accordingly, the power to direct the activities of RS Cogen is equally shared between RS Cogen's two owners and, thus, Axiall does not consider itself to be the joint venture's primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Axiall accounts for its investment in RS Cogen under the equity method of accounting. We have recorded our investment in RS Cogen in other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and our share of investee earnings in cost of goods sold in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes our maximum exposure to loss associated with RS Cogen as of June 30, 2014.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable segments through which we manage our operating activities: (i) chlorovinyls; (ii) building products; and (iii) aromatics. These three segments reflect the organization used by our management for internal reporting purposes. Our chlorovinyls segment produces a highly integrated chain of products, including chlor-alkali and derivative products (chlorine, caustic soda, VCM, vinyl resins, ethylene dichloride (or 1, 2 dichloroethane) ("EDC"), chlorinated solvents, calcium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid ("HCL") and phosgene derivatives) and compound products (vinyl compounds and compound additives and plasticizers). The financial results of the Merged Business are included with the chlorovinyls segment from January 28, 2013, the closing date of the Merger. Our building products segment consists of two primary product groups: (i) window and door profiles and trim, mouldings and deck products; and (ii) outdoor building products, which includes siding, exterior accessories, pipe and pipe fittings. Our aromatics segment manufactures cumene products and phenol and acetone products (co-products made from cumene).

Earnings of our segments exclude interest income and expense, unallocated corporate expenses and general plant services and provision for income taxes. Transactions between operating segments are valued at market based prices. The revenues generated by these transfers and reconciliations from consolidated operating income to consolidated net income before income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are provided in the tables below.

The above table reflects the correction of an error related to the allocation of the provision for (benefit from) income taxes between our Parent Company, which is Axiall Corporation, and Guarantor Subsidiaries, including Eagle Spinco Inc.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incorrectly reflected transactions between the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements which did not impact the consolidated results. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2013, this resulted in an overstatement of the Guarantor Subsidiaries' equity, receivables and net income by approximately $62.5 million. These corrections had no impact to the company's consolidated net income attributable to Axiall, earnings per share or retained earnings.

The above table reflects the correction of an error related to the allocation of the provision for (benefit from) income taxes between our Parent Company, which is Axiall Corporation, and Guarantor Subsidiaries, including Eagle Spinco Inc.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incorrectly reflected transactions between the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements which did not impact the consolidated results. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013, this resulted in an overstatement of the Guarantor Subsidiaries' equity, receivables and net income by approximately $80.4 million. These corrections had no impact to the company's consolidated net income attributable to Axiall, earnings per share or retained earnings.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

General

We are a leading North American manufacturer and international marketer of chemicals and building products. Our chlorovinyls and aromatics chemical products are sold for further processing into a wide variety of end-use applications, including plastic pipe and pipe fittings, siding and window frames, bonding agents for wood products, high-quality plastics, acrylic sheeting and coatings for wire and cable, paper, minerals, metals and water treatment industries. Our building products segment manufactures window and door profiles, trim, mouldings and deck products, siding, pipe and pipe fittings.

Merger with PPG's Chemicals Business

On January 28, 2013, we completed a series of transactions that resulted in our acquisition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of PPG Industries, Inc.'s ("PPG") business relating to the production of chlorine, caustic soda and related chemicals (the "Merged Business") through a merger between a subsidiary of PPG and a subsidiary of the company (the "Merger") and the related financings (collectively, the "Transactions"). The operations of the Merged Business are included in our financial results from January 28, 2013, the closing date of the Merger.

The purchase price of the Merged Business of approximately $2.8 billion consists of: (i) the issuance of approximately 35.2 million shares of our common stock valued at approximately $1.8 billion; (ii) debt assumed of approximately $967.0 million; and (iii) the assumption of other liabilities, including pension liabilities and other post-retirement obligations.

We expect to continue incurring significant costs in connection with the Merger. These costs are expected to include costs to attain synergies including plant reliability improvement initiatives, transition and integration expenses, such as consulting professionals' fees, information technology implementation costs, relocation costs and severance costs, which management believes are necessary to realize approximately $140.0 million of anticipated annualized cost synergies within two years from the consummation of the Merger. We estimate these expected costs to total $55.0 million in the aggregate, a portion of which may be capitalized. The table below depicts costs incurred to attain Merger-related synergies and the impacted financial statement line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

As of June 30, 2014, we have incurred $31.7 million of the $55 million in total expected costs to attain Merger-related synergies.

The decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to: (1) a $23.9 million decrease in the net sales of our chlorovinyls segment due to lower electro-chemical unit ("ECU" [the equivalent of 1 unit of chlorine production and 1.1 unit of caustic soda production as these are co-produced in the manufacturing process]) values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, caused in part by the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity, and also due to decreased operating rates and associated sales volumes, caused primarily by an extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014, partially offset by higher PVC pricing; and (2) an $11.3 million decrease in the net sales of our aromatics segment which was due to decreased domestic demand for cumene and decreased export opportunities for phenol. The decreases in operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and net income attributable to Axiall, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, were primarily attributable to: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs in our chlorovinyls segment, part of which was due to an extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) a significant increase in our cost of natural gas.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net sales totaled $2,230.6 million, a decrease of 4 percent compared to $2,334.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Operating income was $58.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $195.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $195.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $331.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, the company reported net income attributable to Axiall of $15.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income attributable to Axiall of $69.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The company reported Adjusted Net Income of $28.2 million and Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.40 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $129.1 million and Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $1.98 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The decrease in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to a $139.0 million decrease in the net sales of our aromatics segment which was due to decreased domestic demand for cumene and decreased export opportunities for phenol. The decrease in net sales is also attributable, in part, to an $8.2 million decrease in the net

sales of our building products segment, which was due to a weaker Canadian dollar and a decrease in Canadian sales volume. These decreases were partly offset by six months of sales results from the Merged Business in our chlorovinyls segment for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 versus five months in the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013. The decreases in operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and net income attributable to Axiall, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, were primarily attributable to: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs in our chlorovinyls segment, primarily due to an extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) a significant increase in our cost of natural gas.

Chlorovinyls Business Overview

Our chlorovinyls segment produces a highly integrated chain of chlor-alkali and derivative products (chlorine, caustic soda, VCM, vinyl resins, ethylene dichloride, chlorinated solvents, calcium hypochlorite, muriatic acid and phosgene derivatives) and compound products (vinyl compounds and compound additives and plasticizers). As discussed further below, certain highlights from our chlorovinyls segment results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:

• Net sales totaled $777.9 million and $801.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing approximately 3 percent, principally due to: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; and (2) lower operating rates and associated lower sales volumes, due primarily to an extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014, partially offset by higher PVC pricing.

• Net sales totaled $1,460.1 million and $1,416.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, increasing approximately 3 percent, principally due to the inclusion of six months of sales results from the Merged Business for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014, versus the inclusion of only five months of sales results from the Merged Business for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013 and higher PVC pricing, partially offset by: (1) lower ECU values, caused primarily by the factors discussed above; and (2) lower operating rates and associated lower sales volumes, resulting primarily from the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility.

• Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $66.6 million and $121.6 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 versus operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $118.2 million and $177.6 million, respectively, for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was principally due to: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs, caused primarily by the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) an increase in our natural gas costs, partially offset by higher PVC pricing. IHS, Inc. ("IHS") reported a 13 percent increase in natural gas prices for the three months ended June 30, 2014 in its publication dated July 1, 2014.

• Operating income and Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $89.9 million and $197.8 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 versus operating income and Adjusted

EBITDA of $209.4 million and $311.8 million, respectively, for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was principally due to: (1) lower ECU values caused primarily by the reasons discussed above; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs, primarily due to the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) an increase in our natural gas costs. IHS reported a 27 percent increase in natural gas prices for the six months ended June 30, 2014 in its publication dated July 1, 2014. The unfavorable impact of all of these factors on operating income and Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was partially offset by higher PVC pricing.

Our chlorovinyls segment is cyclical in nature and is affected by domestic and worldwide economic conditions. Cyclical price swings, driven by changes in supply and demand, can lead to significant changes in the overall profitability of our chlorovinyls segment. The demand for our chlorovinyls products tends to reflect fluctuations in downstream markets that are affected by consumer spending for durable and non-durable goods as well as construction. Global capacity also materially affects the prices of chlorovinyls products. Historically, in periods of high operating rates, prices rise and margins increase and, as a result, new capacity is announced. Since world scale size plants are generally the most cost-competitive, new increases in capacity tend to be on a large scale and are often undertaken by existing industry participants. Usually, as new capacity is added, prices decline until increases in demand improve operating rates and the new capacity is absorbed or, in some instances, until less efficient producers withdraw capacity from the market. As the additional supply is absorbed, operating rates rise, prices increase and the cycle repeats.

In addition, purchased raw materials and natural gas costs account for the majority of our cost of sales and can also have a material effect on our profitability and margins. Some of the primary raw materials used in our chlorovinyls products, including ethylene, are crude oil and natural gas derivatives and therefore follow the oil and gas industry price trends.

Building Products Business Overview

Our building products segment consists of two primary product groups: (i) window and door profiles and trim, mouldings and deck products, which include extruded vinyl window and door profiles, interior and exterior trim and mouldings products, as well as deck products; and (ii) outdoor building products, which includes siding, pipe and pipe fittings. As discussed further below, certain highlights from our building products segment results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:

• Net sales totaled $243.8 million and $244.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing slightly primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the quarter increased by 3 percent.

• For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our building products segment's geographical sales to the United States and Canada were 53 percent and 46 percent respectively, compared with 47 percent and 52 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

• Net sales totaled $398.5 million and $406.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing approximately 2 percent, primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar. On a constant currency basis, net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased 1 percent.

• For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our building products segment's geographical sales to the United States and Canada were 55 percent and 44 percent respectively, compared with 49 percent and 50 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

• Operating income was $14.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $19.6 million and $28.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decreases in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar, higher distribution costs and higher selling related expenditures.

• Operating income was $3.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million and $25.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decreases in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to higher selling related expenditures and higher distribution costs.

The building products segment is impacted by changes in the North American home repair and remodeling sectors, as well as the new construction industry, which may be significantly affected by changes in economic and other conditions such as gross domestic product levels, employment levels, demographic trends, consumer confidence, increases in interest rates and availability of consumer financing for home repair and remodeling projects as well as the availability of financing for new home purchases. These factors can lower the demand for, and pricing of our products, while we may not be able to reduce our costs by an equivalent amount.

Aromatics Business Overview

Our aromatics segment manufactures cumene products and phenol and acetone products (co-products made from cumene). As discussed further below, certain highlights of our aromatics segment results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were as follows:

• Net sales were $215.2 million and $226.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing 5 percent in the aggregate and reflecting a 12 percent decrease in cumene sales volume and a 29 percent decrease in phenol and acetone sales volumes, partially offset by higher sales prices that were due to higher benzene and propylene costs. The decrease in our sales volume of phenol is primarily due to a significant decline in export demand for phenol produced in the United States, which is primarily the result of the recent addition of a significant amount of new phenol production capacity in Asia. These same factors are also primarily responsible for the decrease in our sales volume of cumene. Specifically, domestic producers of phenol are manufacturing less phenol, for which cumene is a raw material, in response to the decline in export demand for phenol. Accordingly, those domestic producers, some of which have historically been our customers, have required significantly less cumene. In addition, with respect to the decline in our cumene sales volume, that decline has been caused in part by certain of our customers purchasing less cumene from us. We expect these lower levels of phenol and cumene sales volumes to continue throughout the remainder of 2014.

• Net sales were $372.0 million and $511.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing 27 percent in the aggregate and reflecting a 32 percent decrease in cumene sales volume and a 30 percent decrease in phenol and acetone sales volumes, while sales prices increased due to higher benzene costs. The decrease in our sales volume of phenol is primarily due to a significant decline in export demand for phenol produced in the United States, which is primarily the result of the recent addition of a significant amount of new phenol production capacity in Asia. These same factors are also primarily responsible for the decrease in our sales volume of cumene. Specifically, domestic producers of phenol are manufacturing less phenol, for which cumene is a raw material, in response to the decline in export demand for phenol. Accordingly, those domestic producers, some of which have historically been our customers, have required significantly less cumene. In addition, with respect to the decline in our cumene sales

volume, that decline has been caused in part by certain of our customers purchasing less cumene from us. We expect these lower levels of phenol and cumene sales volumes to continue throughout the remainder of 2014.

• Operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA were $7.4 million and negative $7.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the comparable period in the prior year. The decreases in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily the result of the decline in sales volumes discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

• Operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA were $2.9 million and negative $2.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to operating income and Adjusted EBITDA of $17.3 million and $17.8 million, respectively, for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in operating income to an operating loss and the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA to a negative Adjusted EBITDA were primarily the result of the decline in sales volumes discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

In our aromatics business, significant volatility in raw materials costs can decrease product margins as sales price increases sometimes lag raw materials cost increases. Product margins may also suffer from a sharp decline in raw materials costs due to the time lag between the purchase of raw materials and the sale of the finished goods manufactured using those raw materials.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Consolidated Results

Net sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net sales totaled $1,236.9 million, a decrease of 3 percent compared to $1,272.8 million for the comparable three months ended June 30, 2013. The net sales decrease was primarily attributable to: (1) a $23.9 million decrease in the net sales of our chlorovinyls segment, due to lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity, and also due to lower operating rates and associated sales volumes, caused primarily by the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (2) an $11.3 million decrease in the net sales of our aromatics segment which was due to decreased domestic demand for cumene and decreased export opportunities for phenol.

Gross margin percentage. Total gross margin percentage decreased to 12 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 17 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was principally due to: (1) lower ECU values caused by the factors discussed above; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs, due primarily to the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) higher natural gas costs. IHS reported that natural gas prices increased 13 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year, in its publication dated July 1, 2014. These unfavorable factors were offset in part by higher PVC pricing. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, the chlorovinyls segment's gross margin was negatively impacted by approximately $3.2 million in fair value inventory purchase accounting adjustment related to the Transactions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $79.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 3 percent from $76.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase in advertising and promotional costs and information systems related costs.

Transaction-related costs and other, net. Transaction-related costs and other, net, increased 7 percent to $9.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $8.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $0.6 million increase was primarily due to higher restructuring and integration costs, partially offset by lower costs to attain Merger-related synergies and a decrease in deal-related costs during the three months ended June 30, 2014, versus the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Long lived asset impairment charges, net. Long lived asset impairment charges totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, due to the write-down of assets in the building products segment associated with the restructuring plan. There were no similar charges in the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating income. Operating income was $58.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to an operating income of $124.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of the reasons described above and in the discussion for each segment set forth below.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $19.1 million and $19.4 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Foreign exchange gain (loss). Foreign exchange loss was $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in foreign exchange gain (loss) was primarily due to the devaluation of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with a provision for income taxes of $31.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a lower income before income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 27.9 percent and 30.2 percent, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate as compared to the United States statutory federal income tax rate in 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to various permanent differences including deductions for manufacturing activities.

Chlorovinyls Segment

Net sales. Net sales totaled $777.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 3 percent versus net sales of $801.8 million for the comparable three month period in 2013. Our overall net sales decrease was primarily due to: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; and (2) decreased operating rates and associated sales volumes, due in part to the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014, partially offset by higher PVC pricing.

Operating income. Operating income decreased by $51.6 million to $66.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $118.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was principally due to: (1) lower ECU values, caused primarily by the factors discussed above; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs, due primarily to the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) higher natural gas costs which were due in part to severe winter weather. IHS reported that industry natural gas prices increased 13 percent for the three months ended June 30,

Page 44 of 53

Table of Contents

2014, as reported in its publication dated July 1, 2014. These unfavorable factors were offset in part by higher PVC pricing. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease of $56.0 million to $121.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $177.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was predominantly due to higher natural gas and maintenance costs, lower ECU values and lower operating rates, partially offset by higher PVC pricing.

Building Products Segment

Net Sales. Net sales totaled $243.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which were slightly lower than net sales of $244.5 million for the comparable three month period in 2013. The net sales decrease was primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by 3 percent. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, total sales volumes increased by 3 percent, with sales volumes in the United States higher by 18 percent as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, while Canadian sales volumes declined 9 percent. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our building products segment's geographical sales to the United States and Canada were 53 percent and 46 percent, respectively, compared with 47 percent and 52 percent, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating Income. Operating income was $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to operating income of $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $5.4 million decrease in operating income was primarily driven by higher distribution costs, higher selling related expenditures and higher charges stemming from plant consolidation activities. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $3.5 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar, higher distribution costs and higher selling related expenditures.

Aromatics Segment

Net Sales. Net sales were $215.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 5 percent versus $226.5 million for the comparable three month period in 2013. The net sales decrease primarily resulted from a 12 percent decrease in cumene sales volume and a 29 percent decrease in phenol and acetone sales volumes, while overall sales prices increased due to higher benzene and propylene costs. The decrease in our sales volume of phenol is primarily due to a significant decline in export demand for phenol produced in the United States, which is primarily the result of the recent addition of a significant amount of new phenol production capacity in Asia. These same factors are also primarily responsible for the decrease in our sales volume of cumene. Specifically, domestic producers of phenol are manufacturing less phenol, for which cumene is a raw material, in response to the decline in export demand for phenol. Accordingly, those domestic producers, some of which have historically been our customers, have required significantly less cumene. In addition, with respect to the decline in our cumene sales volume, that decline has been caused in part by certain of our customers purchasing less cumene from us. We expect these lower levels of phenol and cumene sales volumes to continue throughout the remainder of 2014.

Operating income (loss). Operating loss was $7.4 million and operating income was $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating rates for the aromatics segment were lower in the three months ended June 30, 2014, versus the comparable three months ended June 30, 2013 and were lower than the industry operating rates for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as reported in the June 2014 IHS publication. The $11.7 million decrease in operating income to an operating loss of $7.4 million and our lower operating rates were due primarily to the overall weakening of the domestic and international aromatics markets. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease of $11.6 million to negative $7.0 million for the three months ending June 30, 2014 from

Page 45 of 53

Table of Contents

$4.6 million of positive Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending June 30, 2013 was principally due to lower domestic and export sales volumes, which were a result of the factors discussed in the preceding paragraph.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Consolidated Results

Net sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net sales totaled $2,230.6 million, a decrease of 4 percent compared to $2,334.0 million for the comparable six months ended June 30, 2013. The net sales decrease was primarily attributable to: (1) $139.0 million lower net sales in our aromatics segment due to decreased domestic demand for cumene and decreased export opportunities for phenol, both of which were due primarily to significant recent additions of phenol production capacity in Asia; and (2) $8.2 million decrease in our building products segment's net sales, which was primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar. The reduction in sales was partially offset by the inclusion of six months of sales results from the Merged Business in our chlorovinyls segment for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 versus the inclusion of only five months of sales results from the Merged Business for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013.

Gross margin percentage. Total gross margin percentage decreased to 10 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from 16 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was principally due to: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, resulting primarily from the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; (2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs in our chlorovinyls segment, due primarily to the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) higher natural gas costs. IHS reported that natural gas prices increased 27 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year, in its publication dated July 1, 2014. These unfavorable factors were offset in part by higher PVC pricing. In 2013, the chlorovinyls segment's gross margin was negatively impacted by approximately $13.4 million due to the fair value inventory purchase accounting adjustment related to the Merged Business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $152.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 5 percent from $144.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase in amortization expense as well as other expenses, resulting from the inclusion of six months of expenses from the Merged Business during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 versus only five months for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013.

Transaction-related costs and other, net. Transaction-related costs and other, net, decreased 15 percent to $16.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $18.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $2.9 million decrease was primarily due to lower integration costs, lower deal-related costs and lower costs to attain Merger-related synergies, partially offset by higher restructuring and other costs during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Long lived asset impairment charges, net. Long lived asset impairment charges totaled $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to the write-down of assets in the building products segment, as part of the restructuring plan for building products. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we experienced long-lived asset impairment charges, net of $2.6 million related to the write-down of a property held for sale in our building products segment.

Table of Contents

Operating income. Operating income was $58.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to an operating income of $195.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of the reasons described above and in the discussion for each segment set forth below.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, totaled $37.4 million and $37.7 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Loss on redemption and other debt cost. Loss on redemption and other debt cost resulted from the financing of the Transactions and financing fees associated with the retirement of our 9 percent notes in 2013, which included a $55.4 million make-whole payment. There were no similar transactions or refinancing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Gain on acquisition of controlling interest. In the Transactions, we acquired the Merged Business and the remaining 50 percent interest of PHH that we did not previously own. Prior to the Transactions, we owned 50 percent of PHH and accounted for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a gain of $23.5 million as a result of remeasuring our prior equity interest in PHH held before the Merger in accordance with GAAP. We had no such gain during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Foreign exchange gain. Foreign exchange gain totaled $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in foreign exchange gain is primarily due to the devaluation of the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a provision for income taxes of $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a lower income before income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Our effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were 15.3 percent and 31.5 percent, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate as compared to the United States statutory federal income tax rate in 2014 was primarily due to various permanent differences including deductions for manufacturing activities and the favorable impact of changes in uncertain tax positions of $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. The difference in the effective income tax rate as compared to the United States statutory federal income tax rate in 2013 was primarily due to various permanent differences including deductions for manufacturing activities.

Chlorovinyls Segment

Net sales. Net sales totaled $1,460.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 3 percent versus net sales of $1,416.3 million for the comparable six month period in 2013. Our overall net sales increase was primarily due to the inclusion of six months of sales results from the Merged Business for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 versus the inclusion of only five months of sales results from the Merged Business for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2013, offset by: (1) lower ECU values, especially with respect to caustic pricing, caused primarily by the addition of new production capacity in North America coupled with slower growth in the demand needed to absorb that capacity; and (2) decreased operating rates, primarily as a result of the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014.

Operating income. Operating income decreased by $119.5 million to $89.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $209.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease was principally due to: (1) lower ECU values, resulting primarily from the reasons discussed above;

Page 47 of 53

Table of Contents

(2) lower operating rates and higher maintenance and operating costs, due primarily to the extended unplanned outage at our PHH VCM manufacturing facility, which did not return to full service until the end of June 2014; and (3) higher natural gas costs. These unfavorable factors were offset in part by higher PVC pricing. In its publication dated July 1, 2014, IHS reported that industry natural gas prices increased 27 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014. These unfavorable factors were offset in part by higher PVC pricing. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the segment's operating income was negatively impacted by approximately $13.4 million due to the fair value inventory purchase accounting adjustment related to the Merged Business. In addition, operating income was impacted by $3.5 million of costs to attain Merger-related synergies, which includes plant reliability improvement initiatives, during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease of $114.0 million to $197.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $311.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was predominantly due to the same three factors discussed above with respect to operating income, partially offset by the six full months of Adjusted EBITDA contributed by the Merged Business.

Building Products Segment

Net Sales. Net sales totaled $398.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreasing 2 percent versus $406.7 million for the comparable six month period in 2013. The net sales decrease was primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased by 1 percent. During the first six months of 2014, total sales volumes increased 4 percent, with sales volumes in the United States increasing by 16 percent, while Canadian sales volumes declined 7 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our building products segment's geographical sales to the United States and Canada were 55 percent and 44 percent respectively, compared with 49 percent and 50 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating Income. Operating income was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to operating income of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $2.4 million decrease in operating results was primarily driven by higher selling related expenditures, higher charges stemming from plant consolidation activities and higher distribution costs, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $1.0 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by due to the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar higher selling related expenditures and higher distribution costs, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses.

Aromatics Segment

Net Sales. Net sales were $372.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of 27 percent versus $511.0 million for the comparable six month period in 2013. The net sales decrease primarily resulted from a 32 percent decrease in cumene sales volume and a 30 percent decrease in phenol and acetone sales volumes, partially offset by higher overall sales prices due to higher benzene costs. The decrease in our sales volume of phenol is primarily due to a significant decline in export demand for phenol produced in the United States, which is primarily the result of the recent addition of a significant amount of new phenol production capacity in Asia. These same factors are also primarily responsible for the decrease in our sales volume of cumene. Specifically, domestic producers of phenol are manufacturing less phenol, for which cumene is a raw material, in response to the decline in export demand for phenol. Accordingly, those domestic producers, some of which have historically been our customers, have required significantly less cumene. In addition, with respect to the decline in our cumene sales volume, that decline has been caused in part by certain of our customers purchasing less cumene from us. We expect these lower levels of phenol and cumene sales volumes to continue throughout the remainder of 2014.

Operating income (loss). Operating loss was $2.9 million and operating income was $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our operating rates for the aromatics segment were lower in the six months ended June 30, 2014, versus the comparable six months ended June 30, 2013 and were lower than the industry operating rates for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as reported in the June 2014 IHS publication. The $20.2 million decrease in operating income and our lower operating rates were due primarily to the overall weakening of the domestic and international aromatics markets. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease of $19.9 million to negative $2.1 million for the six months ending June 30, 2014 from $17.8 million for the six months ending June 30, 2013 was principally due to lower domestic and export sales volumes, which were a result of the factors discussed in the preceding paragraph.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $16.2 million compared to $34.8 million net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Total working capital used in operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $102.7 million and $266.3 million, respectively. The decrease in working capital used during the first six months of 2014 as compared to the first six months of 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $55.2 million in cash flows used for inventory and a $80.2 million decrease in working capital used by receivables due to lower net sales in 2014 versus 2013 and a $33.2 million decrease in prepaid expenses. As of June 30, 2014, net working capital was $604.6 million.

Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $91.8 million and $28.9 million, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, cash used for capital expenditures was $87.7 million and $55.6 million, respectively, with the increase primarily related to investments in our chlorovinyls segment. The capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were partially offset by $26.7 million of cash acquired in the Merger.

Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net cash used in financing activities was $25.9 million and $89.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our financing activities primarily consisted of the distribution of dividends to both our shareholders and the noncontrolling interest partner in our TCI joint venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our financing activities included: (1) the assumption of $688.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.625 percent senior notes of Eagle Spinco, Inc. ("Spinco") due 2021 (the "4.625 Notes"); (2) $195.8 million of borrowings under Spinco's term loan facility (the "Term Loan") in connection with the Transactions; and (3) the tender offer for, and redemption of $500.0 million of our outstanding 9 percent senior secured notes due 2017 (the "9 percent notes") with the proceeds from the issuance of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875 percent senior notes of Axiall Corporation due 2023 (the "4.875 Notes"). Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we repaid approximately $80.4 million of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan.

ABL Revolver

The Company's asset based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Revolver") provides for a maximum of $500.00 million of revolving credit. The agreement governing the ABL Revolver (the "ABL Credit Agreement") contains customary covenants (subject to certain exceptions), including certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries to pay dividends. In addition, the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of 1.10 to 1.00 if excess availability is less than $62.5 million for six consecutive business days. At June 30, 2014, we had an outstanding balance of $13.7 million on our ABL Revolver compared to a zero outstanding balance at December 31, 2013. Our availability under the ABL Revolver at June 30, 2014 was approximately

Page 49 of 53

Table of Contents

$400.8 million, net of outstanding letters of credit totaling $85.5 million and the $13.7 million outstanding balance.

Our short term borrowing activity as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

(Dollars in millions) |  | As of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 |
--- | --- | --- | ---
Short-term borrowings from banks: |  | ​ |  |
Outstanding amount at period ending |  | $ | 13.7 |
Weighted average interest rate at period ending |  | ​ | 3.75 | %
Average daily amount outstanding for the period |  | $ | 9.5 |
Weighted average daily interest rate for the period |  | ​ | 3.75 | %
Maximum month end amount outstanding during the period |  | $ | 14.2 |

Borrowings under the ABL Revolver were at variable interest rates. The applicable rate for future borrowings is 1.75 percent to 3.75 percent based on LIBOR or certain United States index rates plus the applicable margin under the ABL Revolver.

As of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Loan agreement and the indentures governing our 4.625 Notes and 4.875 Notes.

Management believes, based on current and projected levels of operations and conditions in our markets and cash flow from operations, together with our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the availability to borrow under our ABL Revolver, we have adequate funding for the foreseeable future to make required payments of interest on our debt, fund our operating needs, working capital and capital expenditure requirements and co mply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements. We have no significant required payments of principal on our outstanding debt until January 2017. To the extent our cash flow and liquidity exceeds the levels necessary for us to make required payments on our debt, fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and comply with our ABL Revolver, we may use the excess liquidity to further grow our business through investments or acquisitions, payment of dividends and/or to reduce our debt.

Dividends. On March 4, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.16 per share cash dividend, with a record date of March 28, 2014 and a payment date of April 10, 2014. On May 20, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a $0.16 per share cash dividend, with a record date of June 27, 2014 and a payment date of July 11, 2014.

Contractual Obligations. Information related to our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 can be found in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "2013 Annual Report") in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Our contractual obligations at June 30, 2014 have decreased by approximately 9 percent since December 31, 2013. The decrease from December 31, 2013 is primarily related to a decrease in our raw material feedstocks purchase obligations due to consumption in production during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Axiall has supplemented its financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP that are set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Financial Statements") with four non-GAAP financial

Page 50 of 53

Table of Contents

measures: (i) Adjusted Net Income; (ii) Adjusted Earnings Per Share; (iii) Adjusted EBITDA; and (iv) building products net sales on a constant currency basis.

Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income attributable to Axiall excluding adjustments for tax effected cash and non-cash restructuring charges and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on redemption and other debt costs, and sales of certain assets, certain purchase accounting and certain non-income tax reserve adjustments, professional fees related to a previously disclosed and withdrawn unsolicited offer and the Merger, costs to attain Merger-related synergies, goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived asset impairments.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is calculated using Adjusted Net Income rather than consolidated net income calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, cash and non-cash restructuring charges and certain other charges, if any, related to financial restructuring and business improvement initiatives, gains or losses on redemption and other debt costs, and sales of certain assets, certain purchase accounting and certain non-income tax reserve adjustments, professional fees related to a previously disclosed and withdrawn unsolicited offer and the Merger, costs to attain Merger-related synergies, goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived asset impairments, and interest expense related to the lease-financing transaction discussed in Note 8 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Axiall has supplemented the financial statements with Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share because investors commonly use financial measures such as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share as a component of performance and valuation analysis for companies, such as Axiall, that recently have engaged in transactions that result in non-recurring pre-tax charges or benefits that have a significant impact on the calculation of net income pursuant to GAAP, in order to approximate the amount of net income that such a company would have achieved absent those non-recurring, transaction-related charges or benefits. In addition, Axiall has supplemented the Financial Statements with Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share because we believe these financial measures will be helpful to investors in approximating what Axiall's net income or loss would have been absent the impact of certain non-recurring, pre-tax charges and benefits related to the Merger, the Company's issuance of its 4.875 Notes and the tender offer for, and related redemption of, its 9 percent notes. Axiall has supplemented the financial statements with Adjusted EBITDA because investors commonly use Adjusted EBITDA as a main component of valuation analysis of cyclical companies such as Axiall.

In addition, Axiall may compare certain financial information including building products net sales on a constant currency basis. We present such information to provide a framework for investors to assess how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. To present this information, current and comparative prior period financial information for certain businesses reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars at the average exchange rate in effect during the period, rather than the average exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Sales on a constant currency basis, are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, GAAP diluted earnings per share or Net Sales, as a measure of performance or to cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and building products net sales on a constant currency basis, may be different from the calculation used by

other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are presented in the tables set forth below.

Outlook

As compared to our second quarter 2014 financial results, we expect our third quarter 2014 results to be influenced by the following:

•
  In our Chlorovinyls segment, we expect lower maintenance costs and increased sales volumes due to completion of the work at our PHH VCM manufacturing plant. We also expect lower natural gas costs and higher ethylene costs.
•
  In our Building Products segment, we expect higher sales volumes in the U.S. and the continued negative impact we experienced in the second quarter of the weaker Canadian dollar.

Page 55 of 64

Table of Contents

•
  In our Aromatics segment, we expect a continuation of the conditions in the second quarter with low sales volumes due to the recent additional capacity in this market.

North American market prices for both chlorine and caustic soda have declined over the last year. Based on what we observed in the market, we still believe ECU values have bottomed or are close to bottoming.

Longer term we believe we are well positioned to benefit from a number of macro-economic and industry trends. We expect that North America's natural gas cost advantage over oil-based economies in other parts of the world will continue to provide a competitive cost advantage to us. We expect this advantage to allow access to growing export markets for both chlorine, in the form of PVC, and caustic soda. In addition, we believe the improvement in the United States housing market, both in terms of starts and renovation activity, is in its early stages. We believe an improving housing market should drive building products volumes higher. We expect the combination of these macro-economic and industry trends to increase vinyl demand. In addition, we anticipate that our integration and the breadth of our product offering will position us to take advantage of these factors.

Table of Contents

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

For a discussion of certain market risks related to Axiall, see Part II. Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our 2013 Annual Report. There have been no material changes with respect to our exposure to market risks from those set forth in such report.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Axiall management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Legal Proceedings. We are involved in a number of contingencies incidental to the normal conduct of our business including lawsuits, claims and environmental contingencies. The outcome of these contingencies is inherently unpredictable. We believe that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all known contingencies including lawsuits, claims and environmental contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements; however, specific outcomes with respect to such contingencies may be material to the financial statements of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Our assessment of the potential impact of the environmental contingencies is subject to uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments. In addition, the impact of evolving programs, such as natural resource damage claims, industrial site reuse initiatives and state remediation programs creates further uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of these environmental contingencies. We anticipate that the resolution of many contingencies, and in particular environmental contingencies, will occur over an extended period of time.

Environmental Matters. It is our policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental liabilities do not include any potential offsets related to claims against third parties.

Our operations and assets are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety regulations, including laws and regulations related to air emissions, water discharges, waste disposal and remediation of contaminated sites, at both the national and local levels in the United States. We are also subject to similar laws and regulations in Canada and other jurisdictions in which we operate. The nature of the chemical and building products industries exposes us to risks of liability under these laws and regulations due to the production, storage, use, transportation and sale of materials that can cause contamination or personal injury, including, in the case of chemicals, potential releases into the environment. Environmental laws may have a significant effect on the costs of use, transportation and storage of raw materials and finished products, as well as the costs of the storage and disposal of wastes. We have and will continue to incur substantial operating and capital costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations. In addition, we may incur substantial costs, including fines, damages, criminal or civil sanctions and remediation costs, or experience interruptions in our operations for violations arising under these laws and regulations.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling approximately $62 million and $64 million, respectively, of which approximately $10 million and $12 million, respectively were classified as a current liability. Our assessment of the potential impact of these environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments.

Some of our significant environmental contingencies include the following matters:

•
  We have entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ") and various other parties for the environmental remediation of a portion of the Bayou d'Inde area of the Calcasieu River Estuary in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Remedy implementation is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 and continue for a number of years thereafter with a period of monitoring for remedy effectiveness

Page 59 of 64

Table of Contents

to follow remediation. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $24 million and $25 million, respectively, for the costs associated with this matter.

•
  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $15 million for environmental contingencies related to on-site remediation at the Lake Charles, Louisiana facility that we acquired as part of the Merged Business (the "Lake Charles South Facility") principally for ongoing remediation of groundwater and soil in connection with our corrective action permit issued pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The remedial activity is primarily the operation of a series of well water treatment systems across the Lake Charles South Facility. In addition, remediation of possible soil contamination will be conducted in certain areas. These remedial activities are expected to continue for an extended period of time.
•
  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $14 million for environmental contingencies related to remediation activities at our Natrium, West Virginia facility. The remedial actions address National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements related to hexachlorocyclohexane, which is commonly referred to as BHC. We expect that these remedial actions will be in place for an extended period of time.

Due to the nature of environmental laws, regulations and liabilities, it is possible that the reviews we conducted in connection with our evaluation of, and determination to enter into, the Transactions, may not have identified all potentially adverse conditions. Such conditions may not currently exist or be detectable through reasonable methods, or may not be able to be adequately valued. For example, our Natrium, West Virginia facility and Lake Charles South Facility have both been in operation for over 65 years. There may be significant latent liabilities or future claims arising from the operation of facilities of this age, and we may be required to incur material future remediation or other costs in connection with future actions or developments at these or other facilities.

We expect to be continually subjected to increasingly stringent environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and that continued compliance will require increased capital expenditures and increased operating costs or may impose restrictions on our present or future operations. It is difficult to predict the future interpretation and development of these laws and regulations or their impact on our future earnings and operations. Any increase in these costs, or any material restrictions, could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. However, estimated costs for future environmental compliance and remediation may be materially lower than actual costs, or we may not be able to quantify potential costs in advance. Actual costs related to any environmental compliance in excess of estimated costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition in one or more future periods.

Heightened interest in environmental regulation, such as climate change issues, has the potential to materially impact our costs and present and future operations. We, and other chemicals companies, are currently required to file certain governmental reports relating to greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions. The U.S. Government has considered, and may in the future implement restrictions or other controls on GHG emissions which could require us to incur significant capital expenditures or further restrict our present or future operations.

In addition to GHG regulations, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has recently taken certain actions to limit or control certain pollutants created by companies such as ours. For example:

•
  In January 2013, the EPA issued Clean Air Act emission standards for boilers and incinerators (the "Boiler MACT regulations"), which are aimed at controlling emissions of toxic air contaminants. The regulations would require covered facilities to comply by January 2016. The

Page 60 of 64

Table of Contents

coal fired power plant at our Natrium, West Virginia facility would likely be our source most significantly impacted by the Boiler MACT regulations. While we are continuing to review the Boiler MACT regulations' impact on our operations, we believe bringing our operations into compliance with the new regulations will require significant capital expenditures. In addition, coming into compliance could result in increased operating costs. Because our evaluation of this matter is ongoing, no assurance as to the ultimate impact of the Boiler MACT regulations on our operations or overall business can be provided.

•
  In April 2012, the EPA issued final regulations to update emissions limits for polyvinyls chloride ("PVC") and copolymer production (the "PVC MACT regulation"). The PVC MACT regulation sets standards for major sources of PVC production and establishes certain working practices, as well as monitoring, reporting and record-keeping requirements. We would have until April 2015 to come into compliance. Following the issuance of the PVC MACT regulation, legal challenges were filed by the vinyl industry's trade organization, several vinyl manufacturers and several environmental groups, which will likely impact provisions of the PVC MACT regulation. Based on a preliminary evaluation of the PVC MACT regulation as it currently exists, as well as a number of assumptions concerning the equipment and process changes that would be necessary to comply with the PVC MACT regulation, we expect that the capital expenditures necessary to comply would be approximately $15 million. However, there could be significant changes from the currently existing PVC MACT regulation after all legal challenges have been exhausted, which could require us to incur capital expenditures, or increase our operating costs, to levels significantly higher than what we have previously estimated.

  In March 2011, the EPA proposed amendments to the emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants. These proposed amendments would require improvements in work practices to reduce fugitive mercury emissions and would result in reduced levels of mercury emissions while still allowing the mercury cell facilities to continue to operate. We operate a mercury cell production unit at our Natrium, West Virginia facility. No assurances as to the timing or content of the final regulation, or its ultimate cost to, or impact on us, can be provided.

The potential impact of these and/or unrelated future, legislative or regulatory actions on our current or future operations cannot be predicted at this time but could be significant. Such impacts could include the potential for significant compliance costs, including capital expenditures, could result in operating restrictions or could require us to incur significant legal or other costs related to compliance or other activities. Any increase in the costs related to these initiatives, or restrictions on our operations, could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental Remediation: Reasonably Possible Matters. Our assessment of the potential impact of environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments. As such, in addition to the amounts currently reserved, we may be subject to reasonably possible loss contingencies related to environmental matters in the range of $60 million to $100 million. Initial remedial actions are occurring with respect to these matters at two plant sites: the Lake Charles South Facility and the Natrium Facility.

We monitor our estimate for reasonably possible environmental losses on a quarterly basis to determine if any of the reasonably possible loss items have become probable and estimable during the current quarter. It is our policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when management believes the amount of losses are probable and estimable. In addition, when environmental items that were previously reasonably possible become probable and estimable and, therefore, recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, we adjust our environmental reasonably possible exposure range accordingly.
