• This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
Senior management
believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature,
tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.
