Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) 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.

Market Needs: Improve Efficiency, Extend Range,
Enable Circularity
As the demand for low- and zero-emission, energy-efficient transportation continues to grow
across all vehicle types, transportation requirements are evolving quickly.
Through this data, we create safety data sheets and
customer certification statements for intended use and product
safety improvements.
The Waste to Product team
collaborated with an external partner,
specializing in textile and plastic raw
materials, to identify an alternative outlet
for the UD waste or ultra high molecular
weight polyethylene sheets.
