Earnings
of non-consolidated affiliates were included in the Chlor Alkali Products
segment results consistent with management’s monitoring of the operating
segments. The earnings from non-consolidated affiliates were $11.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and $25.8 million and
$19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
|
(2)
|
The
service cost and the amortization of prior service cost components of
pension expense related to the employees of the operating segments are
allocated to the operating segments based on their respective estimated
census data. All other components of pension costs are included in
Corporate/Other and include items such as the expected return on plan
assets, interest cost, and recognized actuarial gains and
losses. Pension income for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 included a curtailment charge of $0.8 million resulting from the
conversion of our McIntosh, AL Chlor Alkali hourly workforce from a
defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution pension
plan.
|
(3)
|
Other
Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included a $3.7
million gain on the sale of land and $0.9 million of gains on the disposal
of assets primarily associated with the ongoing St. Gabriel, LA facility
conversion and expansion project.
|
(4)
|
Interest
expense was reduced by capitalized interest of $3.0 million and $0.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
and $5.5 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively.

Earnings
of non-consolidated affiliates were included in the Chlor Alkali Products
segment results consistent with management’s monitoring of the operating
segments. The earnings from non-consolidated affiliates were $11.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and $25.8 million and
$19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

|
The
service cost and the amortization of prior service cost components of
pension expense related to the employees of the operating segments are
allocated to the operating segments based on their respective estimated
census data. All other components of pension costs are included in
Corporate/Other and include items such as the expected return on plan
assets, interest cost, and recognized actuarial gains and
losses. Pension income for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 included a curtailment charge of $0.8 million resulting from the
conversion of our McIntosh, AL Chlor Alkali hourly workforce from a
defined benefit pension plan to a defined contribution pension
plan.
|
(3)
|
Other
operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included a $3.7
million gain on the sale of land and $0.9 million of gains on the disposal
of assets primarily associated with the ongoing St. Gabriel, LA facility
conversion and expansion project.
|

|
Interest
expense was reduced by capitalized interest of $3.0 million and $0.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
and $5.5 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
