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.
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, including adjustments related to
contingent consideration; 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; and the effect of changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading
to better color consistency
• Better color dispersion in transparent PC
resin compared to pigments, helping to retain
transparent properties
• Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness
in production lines often found with powders
• Lower inventory, easier supply chain
management
• Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage
• Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in
PC chips
• Supports sustainability through improved color
and material changeover time
• Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to
alternatives
