and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.  Many risks and uncertainties are inherent in business generally and the markets in which the

by the risks, uncertainties and cautionary statements contained herein.  Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made,
and the Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, other than that imposed by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.
Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include, among others:  the Company’s ability to successfully integrate
ELIOKEM into its operations; the Company’s ability to achieve fully the strategic and financial objectives related to the acquisition of ELIOKEM, including the
acquisition becoming accretive to the Company’s earnings; and unexpected costs or liabilities that may arise from the acquisition, ownership or operation of
ELIOKEM.
Additional risk factors include:  economic trends affecting the economy in general and/or the Company’s end-use markets; prices and availability of raw materials

to
product
technology,
performance
or
cost
disadvantages;
loss
of
a
significant
customer;
customer
and/or
competitor
consolidation;
customer
bankruptcy;
ability
to
successfully
develop
and
commercialize
new
products;
a
decrease
in
demand
for
domestically
manufactured products due to increased foreign competition and off-shoring of production; ability to successfully implement productivity enhancement and cost
reduction initiatives; unplanned full or partial suspension of plant operations; losses from the Company’s strategic alliance, joint venture, acquisition and integration
activities; loss or damage due to acts of war or terrorism, natural disasters or accidents, including fires, floods, explosions and releases of hazardous substances;
ability to comply, and cost of compliance with, legislative and regulatory changes, including changes impacting environmental, health and safety compliance and
changes which may restrict or prohibit certain products and raw materials; rapid inflation in health care costs and assumptions used in determining health care cost
estimates; risks associated with foreign operations including political unrest and fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies; prolonged work stoppage
resulting from labor disputes with unionized workforce; changes in and compliance with pension plan funding obligations; stock price volatility; infringement or loss of
the Company’s intellectual property; litigation and claims against the Company related to products, services, contracts, employment, environmental, safety,
intellectual property and other matters; adverse litigation judgments or settlements; absence of or inadequacy of insurance coverage for litigation judgments,
settlements or other losses; availability of financing at anticipated rates and terms; and loan covenant default arising from substantial debt and leverage and the

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Appendix –
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt which are Non-GAAP financial measures as
defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OMNOVA’s EBITDA is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations less interest expense, amortization of
deferred financing costs, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.  OMNOVA’s Adjusted EBITDA is
calculated as OMNOVA’s EBITDA less restructuring and severance expenses, asset impairments, non-cash stock
compensation and other items.  Segment EBITDA is calculated as segment operating income (loss) less interest
expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. 
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Segment EBITDA less restructuring and severance expenses, asset
impairments, non-cash stock compensation and other items.  For purposes of this presentation, Net Debt is
calculated as total debt less cash.
ELIOKEM’s  EBITDA is calculated as net income less interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs,
income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.  ELIOKEM’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as ELIOKEM’s
EBITDA less restructuring and severance expenses, asset impairments and other items. 
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are not measures of financial performance under GAAP.  EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Net Debt are not calculated in the same manner by all
companies and, accordingly, are not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing
performance relative to other companies.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt should not be construed as
indicators of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity and should not be considered in isolation from or as
a substitute for net income (loss), cash flows from operations or cash flow data, which are all prepared in
accordance with GAAP.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are not intended to represent, and should not be
considered more meaningful than or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in
accordance with GAAP.  Management believes that presenting this information is useful to investors because these
measures are commonly used as analytical indicators to evaluate performance and by management to allocate
resources.  Set forth below are the reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure.
