Under some circumstances, too high shear rates may cause phase separation.

Under some circumstances, too high shear rates may cause phase separation.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs, and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates where the Company conducts 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, including any developments that would require any increase in the Company’s costs and/or reserves for such contingencies; 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; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees; the speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing markets; the financial condition of the Company’s customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that may limit the Company’s access to capital; other factors affecting the Company’s business beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation; the Company’s ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the planned closure of certain manufacturing facilities; the timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen disruptions of service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts; the timing of the recognition of the charges that will be incurred; separation and severance amounts and plant exit costs that differ from original estimates; amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs, asset impairments, and accelerated depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from original estimates; the Company’s ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions; the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into the Company’s operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, and retain relationships with customers of acquired companies, including, without limitation, Spartech Corporation; and other factors described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
