ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On November 4, 2009, Arch Chemicals, Inc. (the "Company") released the results of operations and financial condition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. Attached as Exhibit 99, and incorporated herein by reference, is a copy of the Company's earnings press release dated November 4, 2009.

Included in Exhibit 99 are references to the Company's income and earnings per share from continuing operations which, in some cases, as noted in such Exhibit, exclude the effects of executive severance, a pension settlement, impairment charges, the reversal of penalties and interest related to a Brazilian state import tax claim and a gain on the completion of a contract with the U.S. Government. Additionally, there are references to the Company's 2009 full year estimate of diluted income per share from continuing operations which in some cases as noted in such Exhibit, exclude the effects of executive severance. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to what the Company believes is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided in such Exhibit. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide comparative information to the earnings guidance that was provided on July 30, 2009 by the Company as well as comparison of results to prior year and therefore are useful to the investment community.
