Earnings per share of $0.30; EPS as adjusted* $0.31

 

   

Adjusted earnings per share expand 41% over second quarter 2010

 

   

All platforms deliver double-digit revenue growth and operating income expansion

CLEVELAND – August 3, 2011 – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported revenues of $768.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, an 11% increase compared to revenues of $692.9 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.30 in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $0.50 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010. For the second quarter of 2011, adjusted earnings per share increased 41% to $0.31 from $0.22 recorded in the second quarter of 2010.

“I am pleased with our second quarter results, as we are reporting the highest level of quarterly revenue and adjusted earnings per share in PolyOne history,” said Stephen D. Newlin, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “The underlying earnings growth potential of our business is becoming increasingly evident as this marks the seventh consecutive quarter of increased year-over-year adjusted profits.”

Newlin added, “During the quarter, we continued to reposition our revenue mix within each platform toward higher value products, and we invested for future growth. We have the right people, culture and discipline to execute our strategy and continue delivering year-over-year double-digit earnings expansion.”

 

* Adjusted to exclude special items, tax adjustments and equity income from now divested OxyVinyls and SunBelt joint ventures. See Attachment 1.

“During the second quarter of 2011 we generated free cash flow of $19 million, paid our first quarterly dividend since 2002 and repurchased one million shares of PolyOne common stock in the open market,” added Robert M. Patterson, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “While our primary expected future uses of cash remain supporting our operating needs and funding acquisitions, we expect to continue rewarding shareholders with both dividends and share repurchases.”

To facilitate a comparison of current period results with prior year amounts, net income and earnings per share have been adjusted to exclude special items, tax adjustments and equity income from now divested OxyVinyls and SunBelt joint ventures.

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 that current levels may serve as a base for future performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Senior management uses free cash flow to assess our ability to service our debt. Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 2 for a definition of special items.
