This negatively impacted customer orders, most notably in PPS and Distribution.  Richardson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, PolyOne Corporation, said, "In January and February, we observed significant customer order delays in PPS, POD and DSS as customers worked through on-hand inventories. 

The company noted customers are citing concerns over tariffs and persistent inflation as possible drivers of these demand conditions, which most heavily impacted the Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) and Distribution segments.  If so, lower operating income from PP&S and Distribution could offset continued growth in Color, Additives & Inks and Engineered Materials in the fourth quarter.
