A reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the tables below. 1 Reconciliation of EBITDA by Segment Year Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Sales: Color, Additives and Inks $ 525.8 $ 226.7 $ 1,502.9 $ 1,003.8 Specialty Engineered Materials 190.6 177.5 708.8 745.7 Distribution 305.1 272.4 1,110.3 1,192.2 Corporate and eliminations (24.5) (18.0) (79.9) (79.0) Sales $ 997.0 $ 658.6 $ 3,242.1 $ 2,862.7 Operating income: Color, Additives and Inks $ 57.5 $ 27.2 $ 180.8 $ 147.4 Specialty Engineered Materials 30.4 18.8 94.4 83.7 Distribution 18.0 17.0 69.5 75.4 Corporate and eliminations (40.9) (42.5) (155.4) (149.7) Operating Income $ 65.0 $ 20.5 $ 189.3 $ 156.8 Items Below Operating Income in Corporate: Other income, net $ 11.7 $ 10.7 $ 24.3 $ 12.1 Depreciation & amortization: Color, Additives and Inks $ 27.3 $ 10.7 $ 75.1 $ 42.7 Specialty Engineered Materials 7.4 7.0 30.0 29.5 Distribution 0.3 0.1 0.7 0.5 Corporate and eliminations 2.8 1.0 9.3 5.4 Depreciation & Amortization $ 37.8 $ 18.8 $ 115.1 $ 78.1 EBITDA: Color, Additives and Inks $ 84.8 $ 37.9 $ 255.9 $ 190.1 Specialty Engineered Materials 37.8 25.8 124.4 113.2 Distribution 18.3 17.1 70.2 75.9 Corporate and eliminations (26.4) (30.8) (121.8) (132.2) EBITDA $ 114.5 $ 50.0 $ 328.7 $ 247.0 EBITDA as a % of sales: Color, Additives and Inks 16.1 % 16.7 % 17.0 % 18.9 % Specialty Engineered Materials 19.8 % 14.5 % 17.6 % 15.2 % Distribution 6.0 % 6.3 % 6.3 % 6.4 % Corporate and eliminations nm nm nm nm Total Company 11.5 % 7.6 % 10.1 % 8.6 % nm -
