Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. They use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance and/or sales.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:  The final amount of charges resulting from the planned North American asset realignment and the Company’s ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the asset realignment;  Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Spartech Corporation, including any expected synergies;  Our ability to successfully integrate Spartech and achieve the expected results of the acquisition, including, without limitation, the acquisition being accretive;  Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future;  The financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability;  The speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market;  Our ability to achieve new business gains;  The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and other political, economic and regulatory risks;  Changes in polymer consumption growth rates in the markets where we conduct business;  Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;  Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply;  Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;  Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;  An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions, employee productivity goals, and an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;  An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;  An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;  The inability to achieve expected results from our acquisition activities;  Our ability to continue to pay cash dividends;  The amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and  Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.  The above list of factors is not exhaustive.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Senior management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS, and working capital 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.

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. These panels provide structural bullet-resistant reinforcement to meet UL 752 Level 3 ballistic rating for interior architectural surfaces and components at a lighter weight than traditional panel materials. GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system.
