The non-GAAP financial measures include: adjusted EPS, Specialty platform operating income percentage, adjusted operating income, and return on invested capital. PolyOne’s chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and each business segment and to allocate resources.
In addition, operating income before special items and adjusted EPS are components of various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted on our website at www.polyone.com. 4 POLYONE CORPORATION What We Do Value Formulation Expertise Inputs Base resins Additives Modifiers Pigments Expertise in Polymer Materials, Services and Solutions OEMs Brand Owners Processers Assemblers Driving customer value with specialty products & services Service InVisiOSM Color Services IQ Design Labs LSS Customer First POLYONE CORPORATION 5 2016 Revenue ($3.3 Billion) by Segment At a Glance United States 65% Canada 8% Europe 12% Asia 8% Latin America 7% $0.13 $0.68 $0.82 $1.00 $1.31 $1.80 $1.96 $2.13 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2016 Revenue by Geography 2016 Revenue by End Market Appliance 5% Building & Construction 11% Industrial 15% Electrical & Electronics 5% Consumer 11% Healthcare 11% Packaging 12% Textiles 2% Transportation 19% Wire & Cable 9% Adjusted Earnings Per Share Performance Products & Solutions 19% PolyOne Distribution 31% Designed Structures & Solutions 11% Specialty Engineered Materials 16% Color Additives and Inks 23% 6 POLYONE CORPORATION 2% 43% 80% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 2005 2010 1Q 2017 % o f O pe ra tin g In co m e* *Operating Income excludes corporate charges and special items **LTM 1Q 2017 Specialty OI $5M $87M $274M** Mix Shift Highlights Specialty Transformation JV’s Performance Products & Solutions Specialty Mix Distribution 7 POLYONE CORPORATION 2006 1Q 2017 2020 “Where we were” “Where we are” Platinum Vision Operating Income % of Sales Color, Additives & Inks 1.7% 16.6% 20%+ Specialty Engineered Materials 1.1% 14.8% 20%+ Performance Products & Solutions 5.5% 12.0% 12 – 14% Distribution 2.6% 6.5% 6.5 – 7.5% Designed Structures & Solutions N/A -3.2% 8 – 10% ROIC* 5.0% 12.6% 15% Proof of Performance & 2020 Platinum Vision *ROIC is defined as TTM adjusted OI after tax divided by the sum of average debt and equity less cash over a 5 quarter period Consistently Deliver Double Digit Annual EPS Growth 8 POLYONE CORPORATION Returning Cash to Shareholders $0.16 $0.20 $0.24 $0.32 $0.40 $0.48 $0.54 $0.10 $0.20 $0.30 $0.40 $0.50 $0.60 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Annual Dividend* Since 2011, we have returned nearly $900 million to shareholders $167 million returned through dividends $731 million returned through share repurchases *Initiated in 2011 $0 $150 $300 $450 $600 $750 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 1Q 2017 Cumulative Share Repurchases (in millions) $731M 9 POLYONE CORPORATION Free Cash Flow and Strong Balance Sheet Fund Investment / Shareholder Return Expanding our sales, marketing, and technical capabilities Investing in operational and LSS initiatives ~60 - 70% of capital expenditures fund growth initiatives Organic Growth Acquisitions Share Repurchases Dividends Targets that expand our: • Specialty offerings • End market presence • Geographic breadth Growth synergies Adjacent material solutions Repurchased 1.0 million shares in Q1 2017 Repurchased 19.8 million shares since early 2013 7.5 million shares are available for repurchase under the current authorization Increased annual dividend by 12.5% to $0.54 per share, representing the sixth consecutive year of dividend growth POLYONE CORPORATION 10 2,883 2,538 2006 2016 Volume (lbs in millions) -12% $103 $200 2006 2016 Commercial, R&D and Marketing Spending ($M) +95% $88 $317 2006 2016 Adjusted Operating Profit ($M) +263% Ours is Not a Cost Cutting Story 11 POLYONE CORPORATION Primary Industries Served 2016 Revenue: $3.3 Billion Appliance 5% Electrical & Electronic 5% Building & Construction 11% Industrial 15% Wire & Cable 9% Healthcare 11% Consumer 11% Packaging 12% Transportation 19% Focus End Markets 12 POLYONE CORPORATION Innovation Drives Earnings Growth *Specialty Platform revenue from products introduced in last five years $20 $54 2006 2016 Research & Development Spending ($ millions) Specialty Platform Vitality Index Progression* 14% 33% 2006 2016 CAI & SEM Gross Margin 12% 42% 2006 2016 Target ≥ 35% Innovation Pipeline Potential POLYONE CORPORATION 13 The New PolyOne: A Specialty Growth Company Why Invest In PolyOne?
