governmental authority, act of God, act of terrorism (including
cyber-terrorism and ransomware attacks), or other contingencies
and/or circumstances beyond its reasonable control interfering
with the production, supply, transportation, or consumption of
the Products or with the supply of any raw materials used in

THE CHALLENGES
Improving rPET Quality
• Reduce yellowing, improve color
and assure IV uniformity
Enhancing Bottle Performance
• Improve bottle strength, reduce
acetaldehyde and minimize
thread pulls & blowouts that
cause high scrap rates
Reducing Carbon Footprint
• Reduce energy consumption and
raw material usage while driving
product efficiencies
OUR SOLUTIONS
Aligning our work with sustainability
demands, we address those
challenges for rPET producers,
convertors and brand owners
alike with technologies to improve
both quality and performance,
ensuring the recyclability of plastic
packaging.

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;
• The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows;
• Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and 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;
• An inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;
• Our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions;
• 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 described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted operating income and free cash flow, to the most
comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without
unreasonable effort.
