Myers Industries Announces Revised Fourth Quarter and

Full Year 2015 Results from Discontinued Operations

March 14, 2016, Akron, Ohio — Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE:MYE) announced today a revision to its previously released financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

The revision, as compared to the Company’s earnings release issued February 25, 2016, reflects an adjustment to its results from discontinued operations. This adjustment is due to a final decision the Company received on March 9, 2016 related to disputed post-closing working capital adjustments in conjunction with the sale of its Lawn & Garden business, which closed on February 17, 2015. The adjustment led to an increase in income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $0.6 million. There are no changes to results from continuing operations. Therefore, net income also increased by $0.6 million for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2015. Previously reported results for prior periods were not affected by the adjustment.

Myers Industries’ financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 are included in its Form 10-K, filed today with the SEC.
