Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common
shareholders and operating income before special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in
understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.

SCALABILITY
Modular construction allows for the efficient scaling of projects, accommodating both
small and large developments with consistent quality and speed.
ISSUES FACING THE
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

• Cost Efficiency
• Quality/Durability
• Construction Speed
• Sustainability
• Labor Cost
• Scalability
• Structural Performance
Market Overview
& Trends
Industry hurdles aside, housing construction, in general, clearly
stands at a pivot point today.
It also enables greater
quality consistency because weather is no longer a factor and the manufacturing
environment is controlled.
