FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PolyOne Announces Second Quarter 2012 Results
| • | Earnings per share of $0.27; earnings per share as adjusted of $0.37, a quarterly record and a 19% year-over-year increase |
| • | Revenues reach new all-time quarterly record of $792 million |
| • | Achieved record operating margins in all platforms |
CLEVELAND – July 31, 2012 – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported $792.0 million of revenues for the second quarter of 2012, an increase compared to $768.8 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.27 in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $0.30 in the second quarter of 2011. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 19% to $0.37 for the second quarter of 2012, up from $0.31 in the second quarter last year.
“I am very pleased with our second quarter results, as each of our three strategic platforms reported both operating margin expansion and operating income growth,” said Stephen D. Newlin, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We overcame weakness in European demand to deliver record quarterly adjusted earnings per share, due primarily to accretion from the ColorMatrix acquisition and margin expansion in North America and Asia. Our progress in Asia continues to accelerate, having strengthened our commercial leadership in the region in 2011. Even if China’s economy slows in the quarters ahead, we expect to register solid results due to new business gains.”
Newlin continued, “This marks PolyOne’s eleventh consecutive quarter of double-digit expansion of year-over-year adjusted earnings per share. In addition, I am proud to report that both of our Specialty segments, where we have the greatest European exposure, delivered organic operating income growth compared to last year. We achieved this improvement one quarter ahead of expectations.”
“We ended the quarter with $209.3 million of cash as a result of excellent working capital management. This, coupled with $193.6 million of availability under our asset-based revolver, leaves us with ample liquidity to fund future growth initiatives and provide returns to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks,” added Richard J. Diemer, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer. “During the quarter, we repurchased 1.1 million common shares under our existing share buyback program.”
Commenting on the company’s outlook, Newlin said, “Although the European economy and a weaker Euro remain challenging, through the disciplined execution of our four pillar strategy and accretion from our ColorMatrix acquisition, we continue to expect to deliver record adjusted earnings per share in 2012, in line with our goal to consistently deliver double-digit EPS expansion.”
The company recorded one-time expenses of $11.8 million ($8.0 million after tax; $0.09 per share) related to special items in the second quarter of 2012. The largest of these special items was a charge of $8.7 million ($6.1 million after tax; $0.07 per share) of targeted actions to reduce costs in Europe. Environmental remediation was $2.9 million ($1.8 million after tax; $0.02 per share). In addition, there were unfavorable tax adjustments of $0.9 million ($0.01 per share) recorded in the second quarter of 2012, primarily related to adjustments in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Special items of $1.4 million ($.9 million after tax; $0.01 per share) in the second quarter of 2011 related primarily to environmental remediation costs.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and operating income before special items and excluding the results of the divested SunBelt equity investment to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 2 for a definition of special items.
