 The timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen loss of customers and/or disruptions of service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts;  Separation and severance amounts that differ from original estimates;  Amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from original estimates;  Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;  The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, retain relationships with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions, including whether such businesses will be accretive to our earnings;  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 financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability;  The speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market;  Our ability to achieve new business gains;  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 achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;  An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;  An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;  Our ability to continue to pay cash dividends;  The amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; 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.  The above list of factors is not exhaustive.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Addressable market exceeds $40 billion  Strong performance demonstrates that our strategy and execution are working  Megatrends and emerging opportunities align with strengths  Innovation and services provide differentiation, incremental pricing power and competitive advantage  Strategic balance between reinvestment for growth and returning cash to shareholders  Strong and proven management team driving growth and performance 18 POLYONE CORPORATION Segment Highlights POLYONE CORPORATION 19 2016 Revenue: $0.8 Billion At a Glance: Color, Additives & Inks Key Applications 2016 Revenue by Industry Expanding Profits 1.7% 4.6% 5.1% 5.5% 7.2% 8.1% 9.7% 12.2% 14.7% 16.7% 16.0% 20%+ 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2020 Operating Income % of Sales Platinum Vision United States 45% Europe 33% Asia 15% Latin America 5% Canada 2% Packaging 30% Industrial 15% W & C 10% B & C 10% Textiles 9% Transportation 9% Consumer 7% Healthcare 6% Appliance 2% E & E 2% POLYONE CORPORATION 20 2016 Revenue: $0.6 Billion At a Glance: Specialty Engineered Materials 2016 Revenue by Industry Expanding Profits 1.1% 1.3% 3.4% 5.1% 9.6% 8.0% 8.6% 9.3% 12.1% 14.7% 14.3% 20%+ 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2020 Operating Income % of Sales Platinum Vision Consumer 19% Transportation 19% E & E 15% W & C 15% Healthcare 11% Industrial 8% Packaging 7% Appliance 3% B & C 3% United States 51% Europe 27% Asia 20% Canada 2% Key Applications POLYONE CORPORATION 21 2016 Revenue: $0.4 Billion At a Glance: Designed Structures & Solutions 2016 Revenue by Industry Expanding Profits 1.4% 5.6% 7.3% 3.0% 8-10% -0.9% 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2020 Operating Income % of Sales Platinum Vision Transportation 27% Industrial 21% Packaging 21% B & C 11% Healthcare 8% Consumer 8% Appliance 3% E & E 1% Key Applications United States 95% Canada 5% http://www.google.com/url?
