杜邦计划将旗下两个塑料业务部门合并，大动作让圈内不少人士为之惊动。为什么要合并呢？今天我们主要从数据方面去解析一下：
DuPont — one of the world’s largest plastics and chemicals makers — continues to deal with the fallout of a lengthy proxy war with activist investor Trian Fund Management LP and its founder Nelson Peltz. DuPont won that fight in May — retaining control of its board — but it still played a role in the Oct. 16 resignation of CEO Ellen Kullman. |
杜邦公司作为世界上最大的塑料和化学品制造商之一，将继续解决其与激进投资者特里安基金管理公司及其创始人Nelson Peltz 进行的长久的代理权争夺带来的影响。杜邦于5月份赢得了那场战斗，保留其在董事会上的控制权，但这场战争也导致了公司CEO Ellen Kullman于10月16日提出辞职。
During that proxy fight, DuPont named Breen and James Gallogly to the board. Breen previously led Tyco International out of bankruptcy. Gallogly had been CEO of polyolefins leader LyondellBasell Industries. |
代理权争夺中，公司委任Breen和 James Gallogly为董事会成员。Breen曾经领导泰科国际有限公司逃脱破产困境。而Gallogly则是聚烯烃领导者—利安德巴塞尔工业的CEO。
DuPont has struggled with lower growth and reduced profitability in recent years. When it announced Kullman’s resignation, the firm also lowered earnings expectations for 2015 to $2.75 per share, down from prior guidance of $3.10. It blamed the strengthening of the U.S. dollar vs. currencies in emerging markets, particularly the Brazilian real. |
近年来，杜邦一直挣扎于低增长率和低利润率泥淖。当宣布Ellen Kullman辞职时，公司也降低了2015年的盈利预期，从先前发布的指导价3.10美元每股降至2.75美元每股。这归咎于美元对新兴市场货币的加强，尤其是巴西的新兴市场货币。
Earlier this year, DuPont attempted to improve its results by spinning off its struggling titanium dioxide unit — as well as Kevlar-brand fluoropolymers — into a separate public company, Chemours. |
今年早些时候，杜邦通过分拆正陷于困境的钛白粉业务部和含氟聚合物纤维品牌作为独立的上市公司—Chemours，来试图改善当前挣扎的困境。
In the first nine months of 2015, DuPont’s sales fell 12 percent to $19.8 billion, with operating profit down 13 percent to $3.7 billion. Performance Materials sales fell 13 percent to just over $4 billion, with operating profit down 1 percent to $935 million. Based on sales, Performance Materials ranked second among DuPont’s six operating units in the nine-month period. |
2015年的前9个月，杜邦的销售额为198亿美元，同比下降了12%；经营利润为37亿美元，同比下降13%。其中，高性能聚合物部门销售额险超40亿美元，同比下降13%；经营利润为9.35亿美元，同比下降1%。基于销售业绩的统计，2015年前9个月，高性能聚合物部门的业绩在杜邦的六个经营部门中位列第二。回复【杜邦】，查看更多
