New York, February 4-Minerals Technologies (NYSE: MTX) today reported fourth
quarter diluted earnings per share of $1.00, excluding special items. Reported
earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.48.

For the full year 2015, the company reported earnings per diluted share of
$4.31, excluding special items, compared with earnings of $4.00 per diluted
share in the prior year, an increase of 8 percent.  Reported earnings per
diluted share were $3.08 for the full year of 2015.

"MTI delivered a solid 2015 performance, denoting our sixth consecutive year of
record financial results," said Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and chief executive
officer. "Our minerals and specialty chemicals businesses contributed double
digit operating income margins during the year, and the 2014 AMCOL acquisition
continues to be highly accretive, generating nearly $80 million in synergies. We




also continued to restructure the Energy Services and Refractories segments to
maximize profitability in light of the weak conditions in the oil and steel
markets."

Fourth Quarter

Minerals Technologies' fourth quarter worldwide sales decreased 17 percent to
$430.0 million from $516.0 million in the same period in 2014.  Foreign exchange
had an unfavorable impact on sales of $23.9 million, or 5 percent.  The exit
from the Coiled Tubing service line in early August of 2015 reduced consolidated
sales by an additional $17.0 million, or 3 percent.

Income from operations, excluding special items, represented 13.7 percent of
sales, and was $59.0 million compared with $74.1 million in the fourth quarter
of 2014.  Weak market conditions in oil and steel resulted in a combined
decrease in operating profits for Energy Services and Refractories of $18.0
million from the same period in the prior year.  In addition, foreign exchange
had an unfavorable impact on operating income of $4.2 million.

The company incurred charges of $28.8 million in special items in the quarter,
primarily related to restructuring costs in the Energy Services and Refractories
segments and acquisition-related integration costs. Reported operating income in
the fourth quarter of 2015 was $37.7 million. The combined effect of these non-
recurring items reduced earnings by $0.52 per share. The company expects to
realize annualized savings from the restructuring program of approximately $9
million.

The Minerals businesses, which include the Specialty Minerals, Performance
Materials and Construction Technologies segments, had a strong quarter.
Operating income grew 5 percent to $53.5 million and represented 16.3 percent of
sales compared with 14.6 percent of sales in last year's fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter worldwide sales for the Specialty Minerals segment, which
includes the precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and Processed Minerals product
lines, decreased 1 percent to $157.7 million.  Foreign exchange had an
unfavorable impact on sales of $8.2 million, or 5 percentage points.
Consequently, sales on a constant currency basis in the segment increased 4
percent.

Worldwide sales of PCC decreased 4 percent to $123.7 million. On a constant
currency basis, PCC sales grew 3 percent. Paper PCC sales in China grew 92
percent over 2014 due to the start-up of three new facilities since the fourth
quarter of 2014.

"Our growth strategy of penetrating the Chinese paper industry by substituting
our higher value PCC products continues to advance," said Mr. Muscari. "By
replacing other lower-value paper pigments, we will continue to grow at targeted
rates despite conditions in China."

Fourth quarter net sales of Processed Minerals products increased 10 percent to
$34.0 million from $31.0 million in the prior year, primarily due to a 16-
percent increase in ground calcium carbonate sales.

Income from operations for the Specialty Minerals segment in the quarter
increased 4 percent to $25.6 million and represented 16.2 percent of sales as
compared with 15.5 percent in the prior year. This increase was attributable to
volume growth of 5 percent, improved cost and expense control and productivity
improvements that were partially offset by the effects of foreign exchange.

Sales in the Performance Materials segment were $131.3 million for the quarter,
with foreign exchange having an unfavorable impact on sales of $6.0 million.
 Weakness in the agricultural sector affected sales in the Metalcasting product
line. Sales in Household, Personal Care and Specialty Products increased 10
percent due to strong Pet Care and Fabric Care sales. Operating income grew 11
percent to $23.9 million and represented 18.2 percent of sales as compared to
15.2 percent of sales in the prior year. This growth was attributable to
increased sales in consumer products and an 8-percent improvement in
productivity

Fourth quarter sales in the Construction Technologies segment were $39.4
million. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $2.1 million.
Operating income was $4.0 million and represented 10.2 percent of sales.

The Service businesses, which include the Refractories and Energy Services
segments, had a difficult quarter due to a significant downturn in both the
Steel and Energy markets. Sales of $101.6 million in the fourth quarter
decreased 40 percent from last year. Operating income decreased from $25.3
million in last year's fourth quarter to $6.3 million in the current year.

Net sales in the Refractories segment in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $68.2
million, with foreign exchange having an unfavorable impact on sales of $4.4
million. Operating income, excluding special items, was $5.3 million and
represented 7.8 percent of sales. Sales and operating income were affected by
lower sales volumes stemming from continued weak global steel demand.

Energy Services segment sales were $33.4 million for the fourth quarter, a 56-
percent decrease from the prior year. The company exited the Coiled Tubing
service line in early August, reducing sales by $17.0 million, or 22 percent. In
addition, foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $3.2 million,
or 4 percent. This segment continues to be affected by weak market conditions in
the oil and gas sector. Operating income, excluding special items, was $1.0
million and represented 3.0 percent of sales.


Full Year 2015

Worldwide sales for the full year grew 4 percent to $1.798 billion. Foreign
exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $95 million or 6 percent.
Operating income for the full year, excluding special items, increased 10
percent to $257.4 million from $234.5 million in 2014. Reported operating income
for the full year was $200.3 million. Cash flow from operations for the year was
$270 million; and, the company paid down $190 million of acquisition-related
debt in 2015.

Full-year worldwide sales for the Specialty Minerals segment decreased 4 percent
to $624.6 million. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact in sales of $33.5
million, or 5 percent. On a constant currency basis, sales increased 1 percent.
Income from operations, excluding special items, for Specialty Minerals
increased 2 percent to a record $100.8 million in 2015, and represented 16.1
percent of sales.

Performance Materials sales in 2015 were $514.8 million with record operating
income of $95.9 million, representing 18.6 percent of sales compared with 14.5
percent in the prior year.  Construction Technologies sales in 2015 were $180.1
million with operating income of $22.5 million, representing 12.5 percent of
sales.  Energy Services sales for the full year were $182.2 million with
operating income, excluding special items of $14.1 million.

Full year sales in the Refractories segment were $295.9 million.  Foreign
exchange had an unfavorable impact on sales of $23.7 million, or 7 percent.
Operating income, excluding special items, was $29.8 million, and represented
10.1 percent of sales.

"Many factors contributed to our solid 2015 financial performance," said Mr.
Muscari. "The highly accretive 2014 purchase of AMCOL International doubled our
size and created a stronger foundation for future growth-both organically and
through acquisition. Today, we are the world's leader in precipitated calcium
carbonate and bentonite with demonstrated expertise in fine particle
technology.  Our three Minerals-based segments, which comprise about 75 percent
of MTI's revenues, were the core contributors to our performance, and the
fundamentals in these business units remain solid, positioning us for growth in
2016.  We will also continue to take the necessary steps to maximize
profitability in our two Service-based businesses that face difficult market
conditions. Overall, MTI remains a strong operating company focused on our major
strategies of geographic expansion and technological innovation; and, in 2016 we
expect to improve profitability and maintain strong cash flows."

February 5, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. to discuss operating results for the fourth
quarter. The conference call will be broadcast over the company's website,

  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME





1) For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2015,
September 27, 2015, and December 31, 2014 each consisted of 95 days, 91
days, and 94 days. As a result of the acquisition of AMCOL International on
May 9, 2014, the year-to-date financial results of the acquired business
reflect 237 days.





2) During the third and fourth quarters of 2015, the Company incurred
restructuring charges related to lease termination costs, inventory
writeoffs and impairment of assets relating to its exit Coiled Tubing
product line and restructuring of other onshore services within the Energy
Services segment as a result of the significant reduction in oil prices and
overcapacity in the onshore oil services market. In addition, in the fourth
quarter the Company also restructured its Refractories segment that serves
the steel market due to significant overcapacity in that market.

3) To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-
GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods
ended December 31, 2015, September 27, 2015, and December 31, 2014 and the
twelve months period ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and a
reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods.  The
Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful
supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such
special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and
thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company
feels inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its
financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic
operating trends.

4) Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from continuing operations less
capital expenditures.  The following is a presentation of the Company's
non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2015,
September 27, 2015, and December 31, 2014 and the twelve months period
ended ended December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014 and a reconciliation
to cash flow from operations for such periods.  The Company's management
believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information
as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to
maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase
stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities.  Free cash
flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures
since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt
service that are not deducted from the measure.  The Company's definition
of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance
with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP operating income,
excluding special items (as set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods
ended December 31, 2015, September 27, 2015, and December 31, 2014, and the twelve
month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 constituting a reconciliation to GAAP
operating income set forth above.  The Company's management believe these non-GAAP
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as
inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and
thereby affect the comparability of results between periods.  The Company feels
inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial
reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
