FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PolyOne Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results
•Revenue of $705 million compared to $729 million in the prior year quarter, as growth from acquisitions and composites partially offset weak demand
•GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.30 compared to $0.40 in the prior year quarter, primarily related to earn-out adjustments associated with previous acquisitions
•Adjusted EPS from continuing operations expands 7% to $0.44 from $0.41 in the prior year quarter, driven by a 5% increase in adjusted operating income
•Announced agreement to divest Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) to streamline portfolio, improve specialty mix, and enable investments to accelerate growth
•Published first Sustainability Report, communicating the company’s ongoing progress and recent contributions to People, Products, Planet and Performance
CLEVELAND – October 22, 2019 - PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported its third quarter results for 2019, which reflect PP&S as a discontinued operation.
GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.30 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $0.40 in the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 7% to $0.44 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $0.41 for the third quarter of 2018.
“Our investments in sustainable solutions combined with our initiatives to control costs, are helping to offset weak demand across many end markets,” said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, PolyOne Corporation. “Most notably, sales of composite technologies organically increased 8% over the prior year, and additives into the packaging market increased 3%."
The company noted ongoing weakness in demand, especially in Europe, which impacted both the SEM and Color segments. North America also softened in the third quarter primarily related to lower demand for select consumer end markets as trade uncertainty is impacting consumer sentiment. Consolidated revenue for the third quarter was $705 million, 3% below the third quarter of the prior year, as growth from acquisitions of 4% partially offset a 6% reduction in organic sales and a 1% reduction due to unfavorable foreign exchange.
As previously announced on August 19, PolyOne reached an agreement to divest its PP&S segment and confirms that the sale process is on track and the transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter. The company expects approximately $600 million of after-tax proceeds from the sale.

“The divestment of PP&S is expected to close soon, which will reduce our exposure to more cyclical end markets and strengthen our balance sheet. This also provides us greater financial flexibility to continue building our portfolio with higher growth specialty and sustainable solutions,” Mr. Patterson said.
Sustainability remains a focus and key area of investment. To articulate the company’s strategy and recent contributions to sustainability initiatives, PolyOne yesterday issued its first Sustainability Report. Available at www.polyone.com/sustainability, the report captures performance and progress in PolyOne’s four cornerstones of sustainability: People, Products, Planet and Performance. “We’re very excited to share some of the many examples of how our global associates are helping customers overcome their challenges and achieve their sustainability goals,” Mr. Patterson said.
The Company plans to provide additional details on its third quarter performance and outlook for the balance of the year during its regularly scheduled conference call with analysts and investors.

Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.
With respect to our forecasted results for full-year 2019 adjusted EPS, the Company does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure because it is not possible for the Company to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. 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. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and operating income before special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.
