PolyOne Commodity to Specialty
Transformation
• Volume driven,
commodity
producer
• Heavily tied to
cyclical end
markets
• Performance largely
dependent on non-
controlling joint
ventures
2000-2005 2006 - 2009 2010 – 2014 2015 and
beyond
• Steve Newlin
appointed,
Chairman,
President and CEO
• New leadership
team appointed
• Implementation of
four pillar strategy
• Focus on value
based selling,
investment in
commercial
resources and
innovation to drive
transformation
• 20 consecutive
quarters of double-
digit adjusted EPS
growth
• Shift to faster
growing, high
margin, less cyclical
