It’s difficult to minimize the tradeoffs between thermal stability, foaming control and high processing temperatures when applying wire insulation,” explained Barto du Plessis, general manager, PolyOne Colorant Chromatics. Thermal Stability: Excellent heat resistance from 340 - 380°C supports effective homogenization of the foaming agent with high-performance polymers

A weighted closure’s sensation of heaviness and deep-pitched sound when set on a surface can shape a consumer’s perception of that product as high quality and premium. For applications ranging from luxury spirits to cosmetics closures, these high-density filled polymers offer chemical resistance, customizable density and flexibility, and ease of processing.

Collapsible totes can stack up to five high when fully loaded for additional space savings. Empty totes can stack up to 17 high while folded.

These factors can also magnify the impact of economic cycles on our business. Additionally, improved mix favorably impacted cost of sales as a percentage of sales. The impact of the adjustments were not material to the 2011 Consolidated Statement of Income.

The company noted that GAAP EPS includes special items (Attachment 3), which impacted EPS in both periods. Although we are being impacted by weaker foreign exchange rates, Covid-related lockdowns in China, and the war in Ukraine, we are maintaining our full year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.50 on stronger growth projections in the Americas. This excludes the impact of EPS accretion from the Dyneema acquisition.” 2 The company is providing its first quarter results in anticipation of discussions with investors, following the signing of an agreement with Royal DSM (“DSM”) to purchase the DSM Protective Materials business (including the Dyneema® brand) (“Dyneema”).

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • The time required to consummate the proposed acquisitions described in this presentation; • The satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the purchase agreements for the proposed acquisitions; • Any material adverse changes in the business of Clariant’s Color and Additive Masterbatch business; • The ability to obtain required regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents and otherwise consummate the proposed acquisitions; • Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the proposed acquisitions, including any expected synergies; • Our ability to successfully integrate Clariant’s Color and Additive Masterbatch business and achieve the expected results of the acquisitions, including, without limitation, the acquisitions 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 effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions 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 raise or sustain prices for products or services; • An ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions and employee productivity goals; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; 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. In addition, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS, which exclude the impact of special items, are components of various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans. Pro forma adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted EPS pro forma for the proposed acquisitions excluding the impact of the step-up of depreciation and amortization related to purchase accounting.
