Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the
availability and cost of credit in the future;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we
conduct 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;
• An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks; and
• Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in
interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels): High-performance building panels used in floors, walls, and
roofs, consisting of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings.
Moreover, the high costs associated with transporting heavy traditional
materials can make scaling up less attractive.
Higher impact resistance: a prototype home constructed with
thermoplastic composite panels passed Florida hurricane wind standards
of 140 mi/hr

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, retain
relationships with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions, including whether such
businesses will be accretive to our earnings;
• Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the
availability and cost of credit in the future;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we
conduct 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

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
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.
Tax adjustments include the net tax (expense) benefit from one-time income tax items, the set-up or reversal of uncertain tax position reserves and deferred income tax valuation allowance
adjustments.

Relative
viscosity and shear rate can be calculated using
the equations below . 3
Fountain Flow
Plastic materials exhibit fountain flow due to
the high viscosities and high aspect ratios .
Because this material has such
a high heat transfer rate, it tends to freeze off
quickly .
This
pressure is high at the gate area and low at the
end of fill.

They offer a
more sustainable alternative to standard polyolefin
grades while achieving equivalent performance
including good stiffness, durability, impact
resistance and UV stability.
To satisfy
required performance characteristics they can
be filled and reinforced with glass fiber, minerals,
impact modifiers, colorants and stabilizer systems.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS

Versus our projections, lower depreciation expense, related to prior restructuring actions, and
reduced interest expense more than offset the impact of lower sales.”

The company noted that during the third quarter certain end markets continued to perform
relatively well, such as energy, transportation and defense, whereas demand in most other
markets remained weak versus the prior year.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in
the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and
the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency
fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in laws and
regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; 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; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully
integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials; an inability to raise or sustain
prices for products or services; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, including at
the increased rate, and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems
failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring
plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated
with the underlying actions; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control,
including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates,
changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions.
