PolyOne Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

October 25, 2017
-- Revenue increased 10% to $818 million, driven by broad-based organic growth of 5% and recent specialty acquisitions
-- GAAP EPS of $0.49 compared to $0.51 in the prior year third quarter
-- Adjusted EPS increased to $0.58 from $0.55 in the prior year, led by gains in Color, Additives and Inks segment
-- Recently announced 30% expansion of quarterly dividend and plan to raise the company's annual dividend 60% cumulatively over the next three years

CLEVELAND, Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported its third quarter results for 2017.  GAAP earnings per share in the third quarter of 2017 was $0.49 compared to $0.51 in the third quarter of 2016.  Adjusted earnings per share increased to $0.58 from $0.55 in the prior year third quarter. Special items for the third quarter of 2017 resulted in a net after-tax charge of $7.2 million, or $0.09 per share (see Attachment 1). Special items in the prior year quarter resulted in a net after-tax charge of $3.5 million, or $0.04 per share.

"Our investments in commercial resources, innovation, and specialty acquisitions continue to drive results, as we delivered record adjusted EPS of $0.58 for the third quarter," said Robert M. Patterson, chairman, president and chief executive officer, PolyOne Corporation.  "Color, Additives and Inks led the way with all-time high revenue and operating income."

Mr. Patterson continued, "Consolidated sales increased 10% to $818 million for the third quarter driven primarily by 5% organic expansion and recent specialty acquisitions, which added 4%. Favorable foreign exchange positively impacted sales by 1%."

"We are very pleased with our recent performance; however, like many companies we have been focused on the safety and welfare of employees, families and communities impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.  While our facilities were undamaged and all of our employees are safe, others were not as fortunate," added Mr. Patterson.

"We are experiencing raw material supply and transportation disruptions as a result of these storms," added Bradley C. Richardson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, PolyOne Corporation.  "Fortunately, we believe these to be short-term in nature and additional expenses related to them will approximate $3 million to $4 million in the fourth quarter.  Most importantly, we remain focused on assisting local communities and residents where needed and serving our customers."

Earlier in October, PolyOne's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of seventeen and a half cents ($0.175) per share on the common stock outstanding, representing a 30% increase to the quarterly cash dividend.  As part of the announcement, the company also communicated a plan to raise its annual dividend by 60% cumulatively over the next three years.

Mr. Richardson continued, "Our recently announced dividend expansion is our largest ever, and our three-year plan of a 60% cumulative increase reflects the important steps we have taken to further strengthen our portfolio, balance sheet and future cash flows.  We view the increased payouts as one element of a balanced approach in delivering value to our shareholders.  As we look ahead, we will continue to fund our organic growth initiatives as our first priority, seek attractive specialty acquisitions and also be opportunistic with respect to buying back shares."

"We have worked hard to reposition our portfolio for sustainable growth, and it's clearly translating to improved performance," added Mr. Patterson.  "By executing on our proven four-pillar strategy and continuing to invest in innovation, customer service and acquisitions, I am very confident in our ability to return to double-digit adjusted EPS growth in 2018 and beyond."

Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results. Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.

Attachment 7

PolyOne Corporation

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 to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.
