Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results from operations, financial condition and liquidity; • Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we conduct business; • Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • An ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, cost reductions, and employee productivity goals; • Information systems failures and cyber attacks; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation. Design times can be less than three days for colorants. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Launches New Black Masterbatch Colorants with Sustainable Carbon Black Derived from end-of-life tires, this new color concentrate is a sustainable alternative to those based on virgin carbon black.   It creates a smaller carbon footprint than virgin carbon black because it uses 90 percent less water and 61 percent less electricity while emitting 90 percent less carbon dioxide in its manufacturing process.*   “We continue to look for ways to help our customers meet their sustainability goals by developing products that are environmentally responsible,” says Kevin Jones, general manager, PolyOne Color & Additives, North America.
