Bozich continued, “Despite the recently announced pause of the process to sell our Styrenics business, our transformation strategy has not changed. Due to the significant interest we saw during the process, we anticipate a successful separation of these assets when the market conditions improve. In the interim, we will leverage the significant free cash flow of these assets to fund organic growth opportunities in Engineered Materials, Base Plastics and Latex Binders applications with higher margins, higher growth and less cyclicality. We will continue to invest in our global recycling capabilities to provide our customers with a greater scope of circular product options. More information on our improving sustainable product portfolio, as well as our progress toward our 2030 Sustainability Goals, can be found in the July release of our 12th annual Corporate Sustainability Report.”

Use of non-GAAP measures
In addition to using standard measures of performance and liquidity that are recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we use additional measures of income excluding certain GAAP items (“non-GAAP measures”), such as Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and measures of liquidity excluding certain GAAP items, such as Free Cash Flow. We believe these measures are useful for investors and management in evaluating business trends and performance each period. These measures are also used to manage our business and assess current period profitability, as well as to provide an appropriate basis to evaluate the effectiveness of our pricing strategies. Such measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity, as applicable. The definitions of each of these measures, further discussion of usefulness, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are provided in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Information presented herein.
