LSB Industries, Inc. Provides Operational Update on Its Pryor, Oklahoma Facility

OKLAHOMA CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE:LXU) (“LSB” or “the Company”) today announced
that the ammonia plant at its Pryor, Oklahoma chemical facility (“Pryor
Facility” or “Pryor”) experienced a minor fire and was taken out of
service on September 23, 2017 to repair damage to some of the plant’s
electrical controls, wiring and piping. None of the Company’s employees
were injured, there was no damage to the reformer or to other major
pieces of equipment, and there was no release of ammonia.

LSB management expects the repairs to be completed and ammonia
production to resume by the end of October 2017. The Company plans to
meet customer commitments for pre-sales of products by either shipping
from other facilities or by purchasing them from third parties and thus,
the ammonia plant downtime will not result in reductions of UAN or
ammonia sales volumes.

Management expects that the EBITDA impact resulting from the repair
expenses, the excess cost of purchasing UAN versus producing it, and the
reduced absorption of fixed costs will be approximately $1.5 million to
$2.0 million for the third quarter of 2017 and $2.5 million to $2.75
million for the fourth quarter of 2017.

LSB will provide an update on the progress of the repairs and the
impacts of the downtime on financial results when the Company reports
third quarter 2017 results in late October.
