THE HUBER PRINCIPLES

Only when our actions

are in accord with our Principles

can we maintain the

high standards we have set

for ourselves as a Company.

A message from Mike Marberry, President & CEO of Huber

As the J.M. Huber Corporation continues to expand around the world, it becomes increasingly important for our organization to demonstrate the commitment of our Company—and our employees—to live up to our core values: the Huber Principles.

With over 4,000 employees working in more than 20 countries, it is essential to apply our Principles consistently everywhere we operate. The 2014 edition of Living by the Huber Principles serves as a proof point of our global efforts to adhere to our four Principles:

• Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Sustainability — World-class safety and environmental performance.

• Ethical Behavior — A Company identity that we are all proud of.

• Respect for People — Great place to work for honesty, respect, teamwork and recognition.

• Excellence — Competitive advantage through customer intimacy and operational excellence.

Founded in 1883, Huber remains one of the largest family owned companies in the US. Our shareholders are not just shareholders, they’re Huber family members. It is their name on the door and they have a genuine interest in safeguarding Huber’s positive reputation.

Against this backdrop, we are pleased to share with you a brief overview of each Principle, as well as a few examples of how we bring our Principles to life through our actions. You’ll see how we go about reducing our environmental footprint. Learn about our efforts to recognize employees for a job well done. And discover our commitment to extend a helping hand to the communities in which we operate.

Reporting our progress against each of our Principles every year is one way we measure our efforts. It is also a good measure of the kinds of people we attract and retain—those who are committed to the Huber Principles.

Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Sustainability

The Huber Principle of EH&S Sustainability is central to how we accomplish our work. Responsibility for this Principle rests not just with the Company, but also with every Huber employee around the world. To measure our performance, we focus on four areas: occupational safety, process safety management, environmental compliance and conformance, and sustainability. These metrics provide a snapshot of how our businesses are performing in these key facets of our operations:

• Occupational safety — Occupational safety reporting at Huber includes both lagging and leading indicators. Lagging indicators, which follow an event, include measurements such as recordable incidents and lost workdays. Leading indicators, such as risk assessment, safety improvements and behavior-based safety initiatives, help us identify potential problems and take preventative actions.

• Process safety management (PSM) — Huber uses PSM, a combination of management and engineering skills, to protect our employees and the communities we serve from catastrophic incidents such as explosions, fires and the release of potentially hazardous materials.

• Environmental compliance and conformance — Huber achieves world-class regulatory compliance and conformance by incorporating our EH&S Management System (EMS) into our daily operations. The Company gauges its performance through regular internal and external environmental compliance and conformance audits.

• Sustainability — Huber’s commitment to sustainability emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship and reducing our environmental footprint, even as we grow our enterprise. We track the most important sustainability metrics for our businesses: energy per unit of production and water per unit of production.

Huber’s top priority is to be

world-class in preventing

employee injuries and in

maintaining process safety.

We will implement an effective

EH&S management and

compliance system. Our

employees will strive for

sustainability and continuous

improvement in reducing our

environmental footprint. Huber

will be a good corporate

citizen in communities

wherever we operate around

the world.

Recognition for clean production in China

The Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) plant in Qingdao, China, earned a clean production award from the Qingdao Development Zone (QDZ) in 2014. Created by three government organizations (the City Economic & Information Committee, Environmental Protection Bureau, and City Development & Reform Commission), the clean production program works with and rewards companies whose efforts make a difference in local sustainability.

A number of sustainability efforts led to Qingdao’s recognition, including the plant’s heat recovery efforts and several other energy-saving projects.Employees from HEM’s silica plant in Qingdao,

Global conference sets goal of improving performance in environment, safety and sustainability

Huber is focused on achieving world-class performance in Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S). To demonstrate its commitment to this goal, the Company held a Global Conference on EHS&S Sustainability that brought together 150 Huber employees from around the world, representing a wide range of functions and every Huber manufacturing site.

The four-day meeting, held in Atlanta, Georgia, from April 28 through May 1, 2014, included employees from every Huber business: CP Kelco, Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), Huber Engineered Woods (HEW), Huber Resources Corp (HRC), as well as Corporate.

Through presentations by Huber’s senior leaders and internal and external experts in EHS&S, as well as numerous breakout sessions, employees gained greater clarity on how to achieve the Company’s enterprise-wide goal of industry-leading EHS&S performance.

The participants left the conference with a clear sense of their mission: Focus on leading safety indicators, which can help identify potential safety problems, and take corrective action before hazards arise. Areas of the greatest importance include exposure assessments, risk reduction activities, pre-job planning procedures and transformational leadership development. By prioritizing these efforts, Huber’s global operations can protect employees, contractors, the environment and the communities in which we operate.

Employees from every Huber business and manufacturing site around the world attended the 2014 Global EHS&S Conference. A Huber family member who serves on the Huber Board of Directors and is Chair of its EHS&S Committee, was a keynote speaker and participant at the four-day event.

Biofilter proves to be an efficient way to reduce air pollution

In 2014, Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) became the first company in the structural panel industry to use a biofilter to control volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions. Tested at HEW’s plant in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, the biofilter made a good thing better by replacing compost-packed plastic media with a foam-layered plastic media. This creates two benefits: it extends the life of the media and reduces air pollution.

Biofilters control pollution by using live microorganisms to catch and destroy hazardous emissions in the air. HEW invested in this cutting-edge technology as a proactive step to ensure its Broken Bow facility maintains continuous compliance with federal and state environmental permits and regulations. The biofilter also reduces HEW’s environmental footprint by reducing its use of non-renewable resources such as natural gas.

Earning national recognition for safety, from Finland to the Philippines

Two CP Kelco manufacturing facilities gained national recognition in 2014 for their efforts in safety: Äänekoski, Finland, and Cebu, the Philippines.

The Äänekoski site was one of just three businesses in Finland to receive the Chemical Industry Safety Award. The plant, which manufactures carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), earned the honor based on its record for avoiding workplace injuries and proactive safety practices.

A steering group from the Chemical Industry’s Responsible Care program selected the CP Kelco facility. Committee members included representatives from the Chemical Industry Federation of Finland, Industrial Trade Union, Trade Union Pro and the Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff YTN (an academic organization).

CP Kelco’s foodgums plant in Cebu received the GKK Silver Award from the Philippines Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for 2014. A component of DOLE’s flagship Zero Accident Program, the GKK (Gawad Kaligtasan at Kalusugan, or Value, Environment, Safety and Health) Award recognizes outstanding achievements in responding to the safety and health needs of workers, workplaces and the community.

Cebu was among 14 honorees selected from more than 200 candidates nationwide. The facility was similarly honored in 2004 and 2006. The selection process included a team of government, employer and labor representatives, as well as a formal presentation by Cebu employees on the site’s safety program and achievements.

A team of employees from CP Kelco’s plant in Cebu, the Philippines, prepared the site’s application for a national award, presented by the Philippines Department of Labor and Employment.

A biofilter tested by HEW’s plant in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, demonstrated its ability to “eat” hazardous pollutants and improve air quality.

Sustainability efforts reduce Huber’s water and energy use

While sustainability has been a Huber priority for decades, it has recently become even more important to our customers due to concerns over the earth’s limited resources.

For 2014, Huber set a goal of reducing water and energy intensity—which we define as usage per unit of production—by 2%. Based on a wide range of initiatives across our businesses in 2014, water intensity at Huber dropped by over 11% and energy intensity declined by almost 7%. Here are some examples:

• CP Kelco’s plant in Wulian, China, identified ways to optimize its cooling water operations to achieve a 13% reduction in water intensity.

• CP Kelco’s plant in San Diego, California, has been proactive in conserving water as the entire state struggles with a severe drought. The plant optimized the use of potable water in its cooling towers, which helped ease the water use intensity of its manufacturing operations. The San Diego site continues to explore additional water-saving opportunities.

• The Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) plants in Bauxite, Arkansas, and Kennesaw, Georgia, installed cooling towers to reduce water usage. Bauxite expects to reduce water usage by 144 million gallons (545 million liters) per year. After two months in operation, Kennesaw’s demand for water declined from a monthly average of 450,000 gallons (1.7 million liters) to 32,000 gallons (121,000 liters).

• Five of HEM’s silica plants around the world—Oostende, Belgium; Qingdao, China; Hamina, Finland; Jhagadia, India; and Etowah, Tennessee—met an ambitious goal for 2014: reduce natural gas consumption by 10% to 20% compared to the 2011 baseline for silica plants producing high structure silica using filter presses.

• The Huber Engineered Woods plant in Easton, Maine, implemented process improvements that cut energy intensity by 12%.

These are just some of the many ways Huber’s businesses demonstrate the Company’s commitment to protect and preserve the earth’s resources everywhere we operate.

Huber sites earn accolades for outstanding performance in EHS&S

Huber’s annual recognition for outstanding Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S) performance took the key strategies and initiatives identified at Huber’s 2014 Global EHS&S Conference (see page 7) into consideration when selecting candidates for the 2014 award.

A panel of Huber representatives from our engineered materials businesses and corporate evaluated eight site nominations against robust criteria that included performance and leadership in a variety of areas: occupational safety, process safety management, environmental compliance, alignment with the Huber Principles, environmental footprint reduction, risk reduction, economic performance, community engagement, third-party recognition and management system performance.

Four winning sites demonstrated leadership in implementing best practices and launching initiatives that offer the potential for enterprise-wide application. These outstanding sites—representing all three of Huber’s major businesses—serve as role models in our journey toward world-class EHS&S performance:

• Crystal Hill, Virginia — Huber Engineered Woods (HEW). Achieving recognition for outstanding EHS&S performance for the fourth consecutive year, HEW’s plant in Crystal Hill has 130 employees who manufacture ZIP System® sheathing, AdvanTech® flooring and other specialty wood products. Employees at this site consistently demonstrate their commitment to best practices, including exposure recognition, behavior-based safety observations, training, site auditing, incident reporting and investigations. At the end of 2014, Crystal Hill had celebrated 1,600 consecutive days without a high-energy injury and no recordable injuries among employees or contractors. (High-energy refers to exposures that have the potential to cause serious harm, such as high-heat liquids, high electrical voltage or falls from heights.)

• Etowah, Tennessee — Huber Engineered Materials (HEM). More than 140 employees at this location manufacture silica primarily for use by the oral care industry. After experiencing three low-energy incidents in January 2014, Etowah’s safety committee, which includes 40% of the plant’s employees, relentlessly pursued exposure issues and established safety behavioral norms. Etowah finished the year without a single high-energy injury incident or contractor injury. The plant also set a new record for manufacturing in 2014 while reducing its energy and water usage.

• Jhagadia, India — HEM. The 120 employees at this facility produce silica for oral care, paints and coatings. Jhagadia demonstrated its commitment to continuous improvement by applying knowledge from the Global EHS&S Conference, including exposure assessments, pre-job planning and transformational leadership. The plant had no high-energy injuries, no recordable injuries, no contractor injuries and no process safety events. Jhagadia also reduced its water use by 40% and energy use by 20% versus the prior year.

• Wulian, China — CP Kelco. With 250 employees, Wulian manufactures ingredients for a variety of food and beverage applications. To reduce risks and encourage employees to be more proactive, Wulian focused on leading indicators of safety. It adopted innovative measures, such as combining exposure assessments with employee and contractor training for high-risk projects, as well as a Stoppage Card, providing a way for employees to initiate a temporary pause in production so a potentially unsafe condition can be corrected.

In Jhagadia, India, a garden rises from what had been an area filled with the residue from the plant’s suspended silica. Finding a better way to deal with the waste, HEM installed a filter press that compresses the silica solids into a cake, which can be used to produce shoe soles.

Taking process safety management to the next level

What do Grossenbrode, Germany, and Taixing, China, have in common? Both are home to CP Kelco manufacturing plants that hosted leaders from Huber and CP Kelco in the fourth quarter of 2014 with the goal of enhancing process safety management (PSM).

The plant visits provided opportunities to improve a critical phase of implementing a PSM initiative set to debut in 2015 at CP Kelco —a revised PSM200 charter. This effort is designed to help identify and mitigate risks associated with industrial manufacturing processes. Employees use PSM practices to assess the likelihood and potential severity of process failures—for example, a release of flammable material—and proactively address problems before an incident occurs.

About 20 Huber employees participated at each plant, including site and regional Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S) professionals; operations managers and leaders; and CP Kelco and Huber PSM leaders. The visits to Grossenbrode and Taixing provided the team with valuable input, feedback and practical insights from plant employees to help ensure the successful rollout of the new PSM standards across CP Kelco’s global operations.

The launch team for a new process safety management initiative met with employees at CP Kelco’s plant in Taixing, China, for a training session.

The Huber culture

will encourage open

communication and ensure

that potential ethical concerns

can be easily surfaced and

properly resolved. Globally,

we will operate our business

with the highest standards

for compliance with laws,

regulations and corporate

policies. Huber employees

will conduct themselves with

professionalism and ethical

responsibility toward others.

Ethical Behavior Wherever we do business, safeguarding Huber’s reputation as a responsible corporate citizen remains critical to our ongoing success. Whether we are operating in emerging or developed markets, we are committed to ensuring that our employees are in compliance with the Huber Principles and local laws. In all regions, we communicate that every employee has a responsibility to protect the Huber name and the trust we have earned.

To ensure Huber continues to be known for its integrity, we measure performance on the Principle of Ethical Behavior. External benchmarking confirms that Huber’s Ethics Program ranks within the top quartile of Fortune 500® corporations. The program includes:

• Standards and procedures that are clearly written and easily available, including the Huber Principles and Policy Directives.

• Delegation of authority at every level of leadership, from the Huber and Management Boards of Directors to the CEO, business Presidents, and functional and business leadership teams.

• Oversight and responsibility for the implementation, execution and maintenance of the program, which rests with the Chief Ethics Officer, the Policy Committee and business Presidents.

• Training programs that are accessible and clearly communicate Huber’s ethical standards.

• Monitoring and auditing of program effectiveness, including audits of our environmental and safety programs, certifications and internal audits.

• Consistently applied discipline for policy violations and protection from retaliation for those who report ethical violations.

• Reporting and response mechanisms, such as the 24-hour Ethics Line and the Annual Ethics Questionnaire.

Bringing women together for learning and growth

Huber is not only committed to hiring and promoting women, the Company is also helping them succeed. In December 2014, more than 50 women from Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), CP Kelco and Corporate gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, to attend the latest in a series of networking events: a lunch-n-learn that focused on gaining a better understanding of Huber’s business.

In addition to sharing knowledge, these events provide an opportunity for women to network and support each other across businesses and functions.

More than 50 employees across Huber participated in an event organized by the Atlanta Women’s Networking Group.

Managing product compliance everywhere Huber operates

With global operations, Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) and CP Kelco must contend with an increasingly complex range of regulations—often in many of the same markets.

While both businesses are committed to full product regulatory compliance wherever they operate, it can be a challenge to keep up with the array of rules across many different product segments and geographic areas. That’s where Huber’s Global Regulatory Affairs (RA) Team can help.

Members of Huber’s RA Team support their colleagues around the world by providing regional and subject matter experts who offer local expertise and a single point of contact for both businesses in key markets.

The team can advise the businesses across a broad spectrum of areas, including risk assessment, product innovation, trade development, human resources, legal, IT initiatives, as well as environment, health, safety and sustainability programs.

The ultimate goal of the Global RA Team is to help ensure the success of growth initiatives across various complicated regulatory environments. Against this backdrop, the team held a face-to-face meeting with its eight members in March 2014. The team—which includes employees from the US, Europe and Asia—convened in Atlanta, Georgia, with the goal of getting all members grounded in the strategic priorities of HEM and CP Kelco. It also gave team members the opportunity to share best practices and strengthen their ability to support each other.

Employees guard against corruption and bribery

Everywhere Huber operates, employees receive training to ensure they understand their role as the Company’s first line of defense against unethical business practices such as corruption and bribery.

Violating the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act, Brazilian Anti-Corruption Act and other similar laws that cover improper payments or gifts can come with serious consequences. As Huber expands globally, the Company has taken steps to ensure its policies reflect a strict adherence to the laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the case of the FCPA, Huber’s businesses are not only accountable for the actions of employees, but also for the actions of any third parties working on behalf of the Company. For this reason, it’s just as important for Huber to educate sales agents, distributors, consultants and carriers about its policies and local laws.

As part of their responsibility for safeguarding Huber’s reputation, employees are encouraged to raise any concerns about bribery or other wrongful acts to a supervisor, management, the Ethics Officer or legal counsel at their business, or the Huber Ethics Line.

Huber’s Global Regulatory Affairs Team includes employees from the US, Europe and Asia.

Respect for People

Huber values employee

diversity and superior

teamwork. Employees will

receive honest feedback,

recognition for their

accomplishments, and

opportunities for individual

learning and development.

Huber will create a workplace

where employees share our

core values, show dignity and

respect toward others, and

work hard to achieve their

best performance.

As a global Company, Huber’s success depends on a talented, engaged and diverse workforce that is valued and respected by leaders and colleagues.

The Principle of Respect for People embodies that idea—but it only has meaning if we challenge ourselves to make the words come to life through our actions.

Huber regularly conducts surveys in such areas as ethics, safety and employee engagement to gauge and take steps to improve performance. An open door management policy and formal and informal channels of communication ensure the Company is alert to employee issues and concerns.

We receive feedback from employees, which we use to shape the standards and core values that ensure Huber remains an employer of choice and a business that people are proud to support. Here are a few examples from 2014 that demonstrate this Principle:

• Leadership development — With the retirement of one of our key leaders in 2014, the President of Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), we demonstrated our deep bench strength. We selected several candidates within Huber to fill not only the top position at HEM, but also subsequent vacancies created in other vital positions. The ability to reward talents and accomplishments and promote from within is the result of Huber’s effective leadership development program. In 2014, more than 200 employees around the world participated in leadership development efforts.

• Rewards and recognition — We recognize and reward employees through a wide range of initiatives, including the Mike Huber Award (see page 16), which is presented annually to employee teams that best exemplify our Principles. In addition, each Huber business has its own rewards and recognition programs.

• E-learning platform — Available any time, Huber’s online training tool is a valuable benefit, especially as the Company becomes more global and continues to build a diverse, highly skilled workforce. In 2014, over 1,000 employees in 48 locations took advantage of e-learning—at no cost to them. Employees can use the platform to enhance their knowledge and achieve their best performance.

• Support for communities — Our businesses and employees support causes important to the towns and regions where we work (see page 24).

By creating an atmosphere of mutual respect, where everyone is treated fairly and with dignity, Huber strengthens its reputation and its ability to recruit and retain employees. Having an engaged and connected global team is a critical part of delivering superior performance and maintaining a competitive edge.

Charlotte office named among top 10 ‘Best Places to Work’

The Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, earned the distinction of being named among the “Best Places to Work” by the Charlotte Business Journal in 2014.

The publication recognizes companies with the best benefits, policies and practices in the second-largest city by population in the Southeastern US. In all, 77 companies made the list, with HEW earning a top 10 spot and ranking number seven among midsized companies (50 to 249 employees). HEW’s ability to balance its objectives with overall employee satisfaction and happiness was a key reason it was selected. To measure satisfaction levels, the Charlotte Business Journal asked employees to complete a survey.

Community involvement was another key criteria. HEW and its employees in Charlotte have a longstanding reputation of giving back to the community by participating in numerous charitable events.

Celebrating Family Day in China

Employees from the Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) facilities in Qingdao and Shanghai, China, and their family members gathered for what has become a Huber tradition in the country: Family Day.

Huber has been holding Family Day events since 2009. For 2014, Qingdao chose the International Horticultural Exposition for its activities. A total of 280 participants visited this vast landscaping exhibition, which featured nearly 100 garden areas representing China and 40 other countries. HEM closed the Qingdao plant for the day, so all employees could participate.

Shanghai employees traveled a few hours to Tongli, a town that dates back more than 1,000 years. Known as the Venice of the East, Tongli’s system of canals made for a beautiful setting for employees to have lunch and get to know one another better.

HEW employees from Charlotte, North Carolina, were honored at an event, which acknowledged the site as one of the Best Places to Work.

On Family Day in Qingdao, China, the children of employees received banners for submitting a drawing for the plant’s 2015 calendar, which is distributed to customers, government officials and other key external contacts, as well as employees. The drawings focus on topics such as the use of energy, protecting the environment and enjoying life.

Winners of the highest form of employee recognition within Huber

Four teams of Huber employees earned the distinction of winning the 2014 Mike Huber Award. The Company named the award for the late Mike Huber, who served as President and CEO of the J.M. Huber Corporation from 1957 to 1990 and as a member of the Huber Board of Directors until 2000. In 1987, Mike Huber penned the first widely distributed statement of the Huber Principles, which are the criteria for evaluating the award winners.

Employees set a record for entries for the Company’s most prestigious award. A total of 64 submissions from around the world demonstrated how employees are living up to the Huber Principles.

While winning the award is a great honor, the process of submitting an entry provides employee teams with great visibility among the highest levels of the organization. Each nomination goes to the leadership team of the appropriate business. This team narrows the field to a select group of entries for submission to senior management. In 2014, there were 11 finalists. Senior management then selects its choices for the award and presents the winning entries to the Huber Board of Directors and the Huber Family Council Board for their endorsement.

Even teams that don’t win one of the coveted awards come out as winners by having their work seen, reviewed and discussed by Huber’s most experienced leaders. The winning entries:

• Gold: Huber Corporate, Edison, New Jersey — Huber’s Corporate team earned Gold for its Transformational Financing Project. The initiative led to a fundamental change to Huber’s capital structure that will deliver significant annual savings and provide greater strategic flexibility. Considered one of the largest financing projects in Huber’s history, this effort provides the Company with lending facilities with more attractive rates and terms than prior agreements. Some of the funds have been put toward capital investments in Huber’s businesses.

• Gold: CP Kelco, Multiple Locations — The tie for the Gold went to CP Kelco for Profitable Development in Emerging Markets. This effort began with the acquisition of a xanthan gum facility in Wulian, China, and the opening of a new carboxymethyl cellulose plant in Taixing, China. The business has continued to invest in developing areas such as India, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. In 2014, CP Kelco opened a Dairy Beverage Center of Excellence in Singapore to focus extra product development resources on this applications area for emerging markets. All of these efforts have led to a significant increase in the amount of revenue that comes from emerging markets.

• Silver: Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), Marble Hill, Georgia — Earning the Silver for its entry Fine Particle Growth, a cross-functional team from HEM proposed doubling Marble Hill’s capacity to produce fine-particle ground calcium carbonate, which is in great demand. The team recommended installing a new ball mill. While the installation was underway, the sales team began identifying potential customers. When the installation was completed in February of 2014—without any safety incidents and on budget—Marble Hill was able to fully use its additional capacity within the first year.

• Bronze: Huber Engineered Woods (HEW), Commerce, Georgia — HEW’s Innovation Center in Commerce, Georgia, earned the Bronze for Sustainability Leadership in the Oriented Strand Board industry. In 2014, HEW became the first Huber business to use Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), an analytical tool that identifies the environmental impacts of a product over its entire lifespan, from raw materials to manufacturing, from distribution to disposal. The HEW team applied “cradle-to-grave LCA” to its AdvanTech®, ZIP System® and Tru-spec® specialty products. Based on a wide range of data, the team was able to make recommendations to reduce HEW’s environmental footprint further. The team also worked with an independent safety science company to verify its data and earn Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). Environmentally responsible builders consider EPDs a competitive advantage in designing the best homes.

Huber operations around the world mark milestones

The year 2014 included several significant anniversary celebrations across Huber. The most widespread events acknowledged CP Kelco’s 10th anniversary as a Huber business, with festivities taking place at many of its global operations. There was also reason to celebrate at the Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) plant in Commerce, Georgia, which celebrated its 25th anniversary; the Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) plant in Oostende, Belgium, which acknowledged its 15th year; and HEW’s plant in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, which marked its 10th year in operation.

CP Kelco became part of the Huber portfolio in September 2004. As the largest acquisition in Huber’s more than 130-year history, the addition of CP Kelco was a transformative event. Huber combined CP Kelco with Noviant, a business it acquired in 2001, to create a leader in the global hydrocolloids industry. CP Kelco employees around the world marked the first decade as a Huber business with a variety of events at locations in Europe, Asia Pacific, South America and the US.

HEW’s Commerce plant celebrated with a barbecue luncheon. Commerce was the first plant to manufacture AdvanTech® flooring, HEW’s leading specialty engineered wood. Local officials presented a plaque recognizing the site’s contributions to the community over the years. The Commerce plant and its employees have donated materials, time and money to Habitat for Humanity and the local chapter of the Boys and Girls Clubs. The local Chamber of Commerce named the facility the Large Business of the Year in 2013.

Employees from HEM’s silica plant in Oostende visited the nearby medieval city of Brugge, Belgium, for a Family Day in honor of the plant’s anniversary. Plant representatives arranged for an adventure tour of the city’s landmarks. Sixty people—including retirees as well as current employees and their families—participated in the daylong event, which concluded with dinner at a restaurant overlooking the canals.

HEW’s plant in Broken Bow commemorated its milestone with a Louisiana Cajun catfish boil. While the site did not stop production, it rotated people through, so all employees could enjoy the festivities.

Employees, their family members and retirees from HEM’s plant in Oostende, Belgium, enjoyed an elegant dinner following a daylong tour of the city of Brugge in celebration of the facility’s 15th anniversary.

Employees who have worked at HEW’s plant in Commerce, Georgia, for its entire 25-year history earned special recognition.

Excellence

Huber will achieve competitive

advantage through customer

focus and operational excellence.

Customer intimacy and

innovation will drive successful

new product development

and commercialization. Our

operations will apply learning

and best practices to excel at

process engineering, product

quality, productivity improvement,

supply chain management and

customer service.

In 2014, Huber’s portfolio of businesses made solid progress toward their respective long-term strategic objectives, positioning the Company for continued growth. The business environment was challenging, however, with rising raw material costs and depressed pricing for oriented strand board (OSB), resulting in financial performance that fell short of our expectations. Even with these issues, Huber came close to the $2 billion mark in revenue for the first time since 2006 and our earnings were the second highest since 2005.

The Huber portfolio showed steady improvement across our Excellence metrics in 2014. Because excellence can be a matter of interpretation, management developed three metrics that apply to all of our diverse businesses:

• Quality — Instead of looking at the number of customer complaints or returns, we use an equation to come up with a true dollar figure. It identifies actual margin loss that can be attributed to poor quality. Each business is responsible for defining its cost of poor quality against industry benchmarks.

• Productivity — Productivity is a difficult attribute to measure across Huber, as it can vary significantly due to the cost of doing business in various parts of the world. Profitability per employee is, however, a good way to look at the productivity of our people.

• Innovation — Innovation is the lifeblood of Huber’s businesses. By determining the percentage of sales coming from new products each year, this metric lets us evaluate how well our businesses are commercializing innovations. Each business is responsible for defining how long it considers its products to be new. Acquired product lines are included as new products in this definition.

While our Principle of Excellence focuses on many diverse aspects of our business, the metrics of Quality, Productivity and Innovation tie into all of these areas. Together, they provide a snapshot of how our businesses are performing in the most crucial facets of our operations.

Manufacturing excellence helps reduce production downtime

Moving bulk silica from production areas to storage silos requires gentle transport. At the Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) plant in Oostende, Belgium, the conveyance system used in the process—known as airveying—was creating production bottlenecks.

In 2014, a team of employees at Oostende conducted a detailed analysis of the system. The team identified opportunities for technical improvements and repairs that helped eliminate unscheduled production downtime. The initiative led to a significant increase in throughput and substantial savings, primarily in electrical costs. Other HEM silica plants that use airveying systems may also take advantage of the efforts of the Oostende team.

New products, new markets, new opportunities

Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) extended its successful ZIP System® family of products with two new entries in 2014: ZIP System® radiant barrier panels and ZIP System™ stretch tape.

HEW’s radiant barrier is a roof sheathing product that decreases energy costs for homeowners. An ultra-thin layer of aluminum foil on the underside of the sheathing reflects heat rather than absorbing it. This reduces the amount of heat that goes into an attic and helps lower home air conditioning costs.

While competitors offer radiant barrier panels, HEW uses a manufacturing method that provides several advantages: lower labor costs, better product consistency and quality, and faster production speed. HEW is focusing its efforts on the Sun Belt of the US, where 50% to 80% of new home construction now includes a radiant barrier.

Builders use HEW’s ZIP System stretch tape in conjunction with ZIP System® roof and wall sheathing. The tape seals seams, which creates an energy efficient barrier that resists moisture and reduces air leakage.

In addition to new products, HEW is pursuing new markets. While single family homes continue to drive the business, HEW is putting increased emphasis on selling its specialty products to builders of multifamily homes. Although these housing units tend to use fewer of HEW’s panels than the typical single family home, the multifamily market represents a significant opportunity for HEW. The business is also expanding the use of its products in light commercial construction.

The underside of the roof sheathing of ZIP System® radiant barrier panels features thin foil laminated to the panel, which reflects heat.

Dairy Beverage Center of Excellence in Singapore serves local tastes

With the launch of its Dairy Beverage Center of Excellence (COE) in Singapore in 2014, CP Kelco took an important step in its efforts to better serve customers in emerging markets throughout South Asia, including countries such as Thailand, Indonesia,

Vietnam and India. Considered CP Kelco’s South Asia Hub, the Singapore facility also works with customers in developed countries such as Australia and New Zealand.

While CP Kelco has long had a sales presence in many countries in the Asia Pacific region, its new business and technical center in Singapore brings hydrocolloids expertise closer to these customers and facilitates the transfer of technology from west to east.

As an example, the Dairy Beverage COE is exploring new technology platforms for the neutral protein beverage segment. Neutral protein drinks—or NPDs—are critically important in South Asia. NPDs include beverages made from dairy milk, soymilk or alternative protein sources, such as almond, rice or cereal grains. CP Kelco’s hydrocolloids can help manufacturers improve shelf stability, particle suspension, mouthfeel and other features that can help differentiate their products.

Certified forests promote habitat for wildlife and ‘green’ homes

Huber Resources Corp (HRC) manages 450,000 acres of commercial timberland in northern Maine for several landowners. As part of its commitment to responsible stewardship of the environment, HRC strives to create certified forestlands that promote wildlife habitat conservation.

For a forest to receive certification, the land needs to meet standards for wildlife conservation and the protection of habitats established by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI)—two independent, nonprofit organizations that promote the protection of forests. HRC works to meet these criteria by applying an industry-recognized habitat model for timberland management. This approach promotes sustainable forest management through a variety of efforts to protect water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat and species at risk.

At the 2014 Annual Meeting of The Wildlife Society, one of the largest organizations for wildlife professionals and supporters in North America, a Certified Wildlife Biologist from HRC presented a paper to the members of the group that demonstrated how certified forestlands promote the conservation of wildlife habitat.

Timber from a certified forest can be used to meet today’s ‘green’ building requirements. While the documentation for certification requires time and attention, it gives HRC access to builders who require certified wood products for their construction projects.

Diversification leads to innovation

With the decline in oil pricing in 2014, one of the key applications for CP Kelco’s carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)—oilfield drilling—saw a drop in revenue as customers curtailed their operations. To reduce its dependency on the cyclical oil industry, CP Kelco’s CMC Growth Team has been identifying opportunities to diversify into other key CMC market segments, including mining, paper/packaging manufacturing, detergents and food/beverage.

The team has been successful in developing innovative uses for CMC. For example, in mining operations, CP Kelco’s CMC is used to separate nickel from other materials. The business has also been working with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of household products on a wide range of innovation activities, which could lead to additional CMC applications.

CMC is used in this floatation cell at a mining operation in Spain to help separate nickel from other materials.

Significant plant capital investments across Huber’s businesses

In 2014, Huber made substantial capital investments in each of its three engineered materials businesses.

At CP Kelco, the focus was on capacity expansions. To meet rapid growth in pectin demand, Huber invested in multi-million dollar efforts at its plants in Lille Skensved, Denmark, and Limeira, Brazil. Both facilities completed the installation of massive vacuum filters, which play a critical role in increasing production volumes of pectin. CP Kelco’s biogums manufacturing facility in San Diego, California, completed three projects designed to support its efforts to meet growing demand for its gellan gum.

Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) saw sales at its largest business unit—Silica—increase in 2014 in part due to the completion of a capacity expansion at its plant in Jhagadia, India. To strengthen its position in high-structure silica product grades, HEM ramped up its new filter press in Etowah, Tennessee, and began construction of a new filter press at its plant in Qingdao, China, in response to strong demand in the Asia Pacific region.

Investment in Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) took a different form. Huber bought out the lease of its plant in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, in July 2014. This gives HEW full operational control over its largest manufacturing facility.

A massive new vacuum filter installed at CP Kelco’s pectin plant in Limeira, Brazil, was one of several projects designed to increase production capacity.

Huber and the CommunityWhether it’s a time of crisis

or any time, Huber and its

employees demonstrate

compassion for our neighbors,

both locally and globally. While

the Company cannot support

every good cause or respond

to every natural disaster,

Huber does contribute to relief

efforts within the communities

in which we operate. Our

employees and Huber family

members demonstrate their

commitment to our Principles

by giving back to causes that

are important to them.

Helping the communities in which we operate

The J.M. Huber Corporation, its employees and its family shareholders all believe in giving back to the communities that are home to Huber facilities. Here are just a handful of examples of the caring attitude that reflects the Huber Principles in action:

• Support for charitable causes — CP Kelco’s plant in Lille Skensved, Denmark, is a regular contributor to the Danish Cancer Society.

• School spirit — In Finland, the plants of Huber Engineered Materials in Hamina and Taavetti provide scholarships and teacher education programs.

• Habitat for Humanity — Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) has donated its materials to help build homes for deserving families through Habitat for Humanity—with HEW employees donating their time and energy. Employees from HEW’s offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, contributed to two home construction projects in 2014. Huber employees have also helped build Habitat homes in and around Atlanta and Commerce, Georgia; Portland, Maine; Nashville, Tennessee; among other locales.

• Race for open spaces — Huber served as the title sponsor of the Indian Trails Road Race in New Jersey in support of the Monmouth Conservation Foundation, which has been preserving the state’s open spaces and natural resources for more than 35 years. Participants included employees and family members from Huber’s Corporate office in Edison, New Jersey, staff from the Huber Family Office and members of the Huber family.

Renovating a Girl Scout house

The Girl Scouts of America is an organization dedicated to building courage, confidence and character in girls. For many Americans, supporting the girl scouts means buying cookies during fund-raising drives. Huber went a step further. To help the Girl Scouts of Central Texas renovate a Scout house for their troop, Huber donated $15,000 to the chapter that serves Marble Falls, Texas, where Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) operates a ground calcium carbonate plant.

Huber made the donation at the suggestion of a HEM employee at Marble Falls (and a father of two Girl Scouts). Many Huber employees raise their children in the community and these families will benefit from the Scout programs.

Huber employees presented the donation to officials from the Girl Scouts of Central Texas at a ceremony held in Marble Falls in October of 2014.

Huber employees presented a check to help a Girl Scout troop in Marble Falls, Texas, rebuild their meeting house.

Promoting fitness and good causes

More than 60 employees from CP Kelco, Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) and Huber Corporate participated in the Kaiser Permanente® Corporate Run/Walk in Atlanta, Georgia, in September 2014. The 5K Run/Walk, which attracted an estimated 16,000 people, is sponsored by a healthcare provider system. Huber paid the entry fee for each employee who participated. A portion of the fee was donated to several local charities.

Runners and walkers from CP Kelco, HEM and Huber Corporate took a healthy approach to raising money for good causes.

Oklahoma plant scores for youth football program

When an equipment burglary put a youth league’s football season in jeopardy, CP Kelco’s plant in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, tackled the issue. The biogums manufacturing facility reached out to the Okmulgee Junior Football Association to find out what it would take to replace the stolen equipment. In June of 2014, employees from Okmulgee presented a check for $4,000 to league officials, so they could start their practices on schedule in July.

Appreciation for Maryland facility

What makes a good corporate neighbor? Contributing to the overall wellbeing of the community, treating everyone who enters your facility with respect, and acting responsibly and sustainably are some of the factors that go into outstanding corporate citizenship. For exhibiting these qualities, the Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) silica facility in Havre de Grace, Maryland, was honored during Business Appreciation Week by the Harford County Office of Economic Development.

City and county officials, including the Mayor of Havre de Grace, visited the facility in September of 2014 to meet with employees and present certificates of commemoration. Huber has operated in Havre de Grace since 1952 and the plant was the Company’s first silica facility. The county officials praised the HEM plant for “continuing to grow and develop, guided by the principles of sustainability, revitalization and community involvement.”

One of the examples of the site’s efforts in corporate citizenship: HEM provided scholarships and scientific education to students at Harford Community College. The donation, a total of $50,000 over five years, went toward student scholarships and sustainability projects at the school, such as converting solar energy to electricity.

Cool way of supporting the Sustainable Forestry Initiative®

The Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) plant in Easton, Maine, promoted the efforts of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) by donating HEW’s ZIP System® wall sheathing and AdvanTech® flooring for the construction of two ice fishing shacks. Maine’s SFI raffled off the huts and used the proceeds to upgrade snowmobile stream crossings to improve fish passage and habitats.

The ice shacks help protect fishermen from the elements during Maine’s harsh winters. The shacks have fishing holes in their floors and are easy to assemble and take apart.

HEW has worked closely with SFI, an independent, nonprofit organization that administers a voluntary third-party certification program as part of its commitment to responsible forest management.

To support Maine’s Sustainable Forestry Initiative, HEW’s plant in Easton, Maine, donated materials to build ice fishing huts.

For its outstanding corporate citizenship, HEM’s operations in Havre de Grace, Maryland, received recognition during Business Appreciation Week.
