CONCLUSION
B O B P A T T E R S O N
PolyOne Corporation 112

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 shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
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.
