Natural gas and raw materials costs represent a substantial part of our manufacturing costs. Cost of sales As a percent of sales, cost of sales increased from 77.0% in 2016 to 77.7% in 2017 primarily as a result of raw material cost inflation. POLYONE CORPORATION42 Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Natural gas and raw materials costs represent a substantial part of our manufacturing energy costs. Cost of Sales Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased from 83.6% in 2010 to 83.8% in 2011. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non- routine costs.
