LSB Industries, Inc. Provides Operational Update on Its El Dorado, Arkansas Facility

OKLAHOMA CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (“LSB” or “the Company”) today
announced that the ammonia plant at its El Dorado, Arkansas chemical
facility (“El Dorado Facility” or “El Dorado”) was taken out of service
on October 3, 2017 to make mechanical repairs to the burner refractory
system on the boiler which were completed on October 8, 2017. Following
the work on the boiler, the Company determined that repairs on a process
heat exchanger were necessary. LSB management has determined that the
repairs to the heat exchanger will be completed, and ammonia production
will resume by October 23, 2017.

The Company expects to meet all customer commitments for sales in the
fourth quarter of 2017 and estimates that the EBITDA impact resulting
from the repair expenses and the reduced absorption of fixed costs
related to the collective period of downtime will be approximately $2.5
million to $3.0 for the fourth quarter of 2017.

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