Safe Harbor
Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements A number of the matters
discussed in this document that are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances and
developments and may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be
identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts and relate to future events and
expectations. Forward-looking statements contain such words as anticipate,
estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, and other
words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance. Forward-looking statements are based on managements current expectations
and include known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which management
is unable to predict or control, that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed
or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements, and that could
adversely affect the Companys future financial performance, include, but are not limited to, the
following:
worldwide and regional economic, business and political conditions, including
continuing economic uncertainties in some or all of the Companys major product markets;
the effectiveness of the Companys efforts to improve operating margins through
sales growth, price increases, productivity gains, and improved purchasing techniques;
competitive factors, including intense price competition;
fluctuations in the value of currencies in major areas where the Company operates;
volatility of prices and availability of the supply of energy and raw materials that
are critical to the manufacture of the Companys products, particularly plastic resins
derived from oil and natural gas;
changes in customer demand and requirements;
effectiveness of the Company to achieve the level of cost savings, productivity
improvements, growth and other benefits anticipated from acquisitions and restructuring
initiatives;
escalation in the cost of providing employee health care;
uncertainties regarding the resolution of pending and future litigation and other
claims;
the performance of the North American auto market; and
further adverse changes in economic or industry conditions, including global supply and
demand conditions and prices for products.
The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risk
factors that could affect the Companys performance are set forth in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company
or that it believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Company. Should any known or
unknown risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, or underlying assumptions prove
inaccurate, these developments could have material adverse effects on the Companys business,
financial condition and results of operations. This document contains time-sensitive information
that reflects managements best analysis only as of the date of this document. The Company
does not undertake an obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect
new events, information or circumstances, or otherwise. Further information concerning issues that
could materially affect financial performance related to forward-looking statements can be
found in the Companys periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes certain financial information determined by methods
other than in accordance with accounting principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
(GAAP).
These
non-GAAP
financial
measures
include:
net
income
excluding certain items, net income per diluted share excluding certain items and
EBITDA excluding certain items, as well as certain non-GAAP supplemental
segment comparison financial information reflecting the operations of A. Schulman, Inc. (the
Company) as if it owned ICO, Inc. (ICO) at the beginning
first quarter of 2010. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance
with, nor are they a substitute for, GAAP measures, and tables included in this release reconcile each non-GAAP
financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures
for
these
purposes
are
income
from
continuing
operation
before
taxes,
net
income
and
net
income
per
diluted
share.
The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and
should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate
Company performance and believes that they are useful to investors for
financial analysis, particularly with respect to understanding the significance of the ICO acquisition in
the third quarter of fiscal 2010. However, the non-GAAP supplemental financial
information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined financial
results would have actually been had the ICO acquisition taken place as of September 1, 2009, since
such financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies,
tax synergies or revenue enhancements, and includes certain estimated
additional depreciation amounts and estimates for amortization of the intangibles recorded as part of
the purchase price allocation.
While the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information to investors, there
are
very
significant
limitations
associated
with
their
use.
These
non-GAAP
financial
measures
are
not
prepared
in
accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of the Company's competitors and
may not be directly comparable to similarly
titled
measures
of
the
Company's
competitors
due
to
potential
differences
in
the
exact
method
of
calculation.
The
Company compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial
measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the
reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial
measures. |
