Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
Our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the closure of manufacturing facilities;
The timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen loss of customers and/or disruptions of
service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts;
Separation and severance amounts that differ from original estimates;
Amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from
original estimates;
Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;

with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions, including whether such businesses will be accretive to our
earnings;
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 and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we conduct business;

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 and employee productivity goals;
An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;
Our ability to continue to pay cash dividends;
The amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to PolyOne common
shareholders and operating income before special items 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.
1) Special items 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; the effect of changes in accounting principles or other
such laws or provisions affecting reported results and tax adjustments.

PROCESS OVERVIEW
Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic composites
combine high strength, unidirectional, continuous
fibers with engineered thermoplastic resins to create
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP)
materials that feature exceptional strength-to-weight
ratio and high impact resistance.
Improve performance, enhance your capability
• Meet higher performance requirements
with thermoplastic materials
• Reduce part weight
• Achieve rapid cycle times
• Differentiate with expanded manufacturing and
product performance capabilities
Dramatically increasing impact resistance and
stiffness of molded components—without adding
significant weight—means that OEMs can meet
increasingly demanding application requirements.
As illustrated here, molding with continuous
fiber reinforced composites enables
improved flexural performance over filled
polypropylene as well as increased impact
resistance and overall weight reduction.
