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 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, retain relationships 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;
• 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;
• Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
• 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;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks;
• Our ability to continue to pay regular cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; and
• 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

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 common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) 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.
