 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 planned closure of certain 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 and 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;  The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies and retain relationships with customers of acquired companies including, without limitation, Spartech Corporation and Accella Performance Materials;  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 materials in jurisdictions where we conduct business;  Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online in the industries in which we participate;  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 regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;  The amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any;  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  The above list of factors is not exhaustive Garratt Senior Vice President, President of Performance Products & Solutions John Midea Senior Vice President, Global Operations & Process Improvement Mark Crist Senior Vice President, President of PolyOne Distribution Cathy Dodd Vice President, Marketing Chris Murphy Vice President, Research & Development, Chief Innovation Officer Kurt Schuering Vice President, Global Key Account Management The Leaders Behind the Team PolyOne Corporation Page 8 Commodity to Specialty Transformation • Volume driven, commodity producer • Heavily tied to cyclical end markets • Performance largely dependent on non- controlling joint ventures 2000-2005 2006 - 2009 2010 – 2014 2015 and beyond • Steve Newlin appointed, Chairman, President and CEO • New leadership team appointed • Implementation of four pillar strategy • Focus on value based selling, investment in commercial resources and innovation to drive transformation • Substantial EPS growth from $0.13 to all-time high of $1.80 • Shift to faster growing, high margin, less cyclical end markets • Key acquisitions propel current and future growth, as well as margin expansion • Specialty mix expands to 65% of Operating Income – strongest mix of earnings in history • Accelerating growth • Deliver consistent double digit annual EPS growth • Maintain >35% vitality index • Pursue strategic acquisitions that expand specialty offerings and geographic breadth • Invest and grow current and next generation talent PolyOne Corporation Page 9 2006 2014 “Where we were” “Where we are” Operating Income % Specialty: Global Color, Additives & Inks 1.7% 14.7% Global Specialty Engineered Materials 1.1% 12.1% Designed Structures & Solutions 1.4%(2012) 7.3% Performance Products & Solutions 5.5% 7.7% Distribution 2.6% 6.1% Specialty Platform % of Operating Income 6.0% 65% ROIC 5.0% 11.3% Adjusted EPS Growth N/A 37% Proof of Performance PolyOne Corporation Page 10 2% 34% 43% 62% 65% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 2005 2008 2010 2013 2014 % o f O pe ra tin g In co m e* JV's Performance Products & Solutions Distribution Specialty Old PolyOne Mix Shift Highlights Specialty Transformation New PolyOne Transformation Specialty OI $5M $46M $87M $195M $242M *Operating Income excludes corporate charges and special items PolyOne Corporation Page 11 2014 2015 Target “Where we are” (Est. in 2012) Operating Income % Specialty: Global Color, Additives & Inks 14.7% 12 – 16% Global Specialty Engineered Materials 12.1% 12 – 16% Designed Structures & Solutions 7.3% 8 – 10% Performance Products & Solutions 7.7% 9 – 12% Distribution 6.1% 6 – 7.5% Specialty Platform % of Operating Income 65% 65 – 75% ROIC 11.3% 15% Adjusted EPS Growth 37% Double Digit Expansion Proof of Performance PolyOne Corporation Page 12 • Sold non-core resin assets – EPS dilutive • Completed acquisition of Spartech • Housing starts below 1.25 million units Single family units 30% below expectations • Longstanding weakness in Europe, and decline in Euro Successfully Navigating Change Since 2012 PolyOne Corporation Page 13 -100% 0% 100% 200% 300% 400% 500% 600% POL S&P 500 Strategy and Execution Drive Results $0.12 $0.27 $0.21 $0.13 $0.68 $0.82 $1.00 $1.31 $1.80 '06 '07 '08 '09 '10 '11 '12 '13 '14 ‘06-‘14 Adjusted EPS CAGR = 40% Adjusted EPS Share Price vs. S&P 500 PolyOne Corporation Page 14 Well Positioned for Accelerated Growth $40 billion of market potential • Megatrends favor our solutions $1.9 billion of opportunities in our specialty innovation pipeline • Increased $200m from a year ago 44% of Specialty products introduced in the last 5 years World class leadership team drives next phase of specialty transformation: From Gold to Platinum PolyOne Corporation Page 15 Global Color, Additives & Inks John V.

These new grades of TPEs, launched earlier this year in Europe, contain 25%-55% post-consumer recycle (PCR) content, complement the existing offering of PCR-based products for polypropylene (PP) overmolding, and are specially developed for automotive interior applications such as mats, grips, and console trays. In addition, Avient can provide product carbon footprint (PCF) values for these and other products using our PCF calculator, which was developed in accordance with ISO 14067:2018 Standard and third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland.  Developed for injection molding, Avient’s new grades for PP overmolding can deliver durable primeless bonding performance and are available in natural and custom-colored grades with hardnesses from Shore 40A to 80A.
