POLYONE CORPORATION 3 Use of Non-GAAP Measures  This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures include: adjusted EPS, Specialty platform operating income percentage, adjusted operating income, and return on invested capital 1) Special items are a non-GAAP financial measure and are used to determine adjusted earnings.

This financial information includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating income, and adjusted EPS. Slide 6 - Non-GAAP Reconciliations Reflects a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for these recast historical financial results. Slide 7 - Summary of Special Items Recast for DSS Divestiture Reflects special items from continuing operations which include charges related to specific strategic initiatives or financial restructuring such as: consolidation of operations; debt extinguishment costs; costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions or divestitures; employee separation costs resulting from personnel reduction programs, plant realignment costs, executive separation agreements; asset impairments; mark-to-market adjustments associated with actuarial gains and losses on pension and other post-retirement benefit plans; environmental remediation costs, fines, penalties and related insurance recoveries related to facilities no longer owned or closed in prior years; gains and losses on the divestiture of operating businesses, joint ventures and equity investments; gains and losses on facility or property sales or disposals; results of litigation, fines or penalties, where such litigation (or action relating to the fines or penalties) arose prior to the commencement of the performance period; one-time, non-recurring items; and the effect of changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results.

Non-uniform walls will contribute to warp, stress, and cracking by creating areas of the part that cool faster. However, non-parallel walls should be ½°. Figure 17 shows how to design a non-structural hole.

In the wire and cable industry, thermoplastics serve to protect by providing electrical insulation, flame resistance, durability, water resistance, and color coding to wire coatings and connectors. These specialized polymers offer advantages compared to traditional materials that include design freedom, processability, weight reduction, chemical resistance, flame retardance and lower cost. This plan provides our non-employee Directors with a vehicle to defer their compensation in the form of shares.
