historical fact (such as when we describe what we "believe," "expect," or "anticipate" will occur, and other similar
statements), you must remember that our expectations may not be correct, even though we believe they are
reasonable.  We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will
happen at all).  You should review this presentation with the understanding that actual future results may be materially
different from what we expect.  Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or
predict.  You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.  We do not intend, and
undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.  These statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the applicable
statements.  Such risks include:
(1) Changes in the markets for the Company’s business segments
(2) Changes in trends and demands in the markets in which the Company competes
(3) Unanticipated downturn in business relationships with customers or their purchases
(4) Competitive pressures on sales and pricing
(5) Raw material availability, increases in raw material costs, or other production costs
(6) Harsh weather conditions
(7) Future economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world
(8) Inability of the Company to meet future capital requirements
(9) Claims, litigation and regulatory actions against the Company
(10) Changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company
(11) The Company’s ability to execute the components of its Strategic Business Evolution process

factors is available in the Company’s publicly filed quarterly and annual reports, which can be found online at

Safe Harbor Statement


Third Quarter 2015 Financial Summary
3
Net sales decreased due to continued
weak demand in the Material Handling
Segment’s agricultural end market and
currency fluctuation.
Gross profit margin increased due to
strategic pricing actions and ongoing
cost reduction activities.
SG&A decreased primarily as a result
of $3.0M of transaction costs in Q3
2014 related to acquisition of Scepter
and a $3.0M accrual for patent
infringement lawsuit. These reductions
were offset by an environmental
reserve of $1.3M and the acceleration
of stock compensation expense  in Q3
2015 of $1.4M, which led to a $0.03
reduction to adjusted income per
diluted share from continuing
operations during the quarter.

Excluding currency fluctuations, net
sales decreased 10.9% compared to
Q3 2014. The decline in Material
Handling net sales was primarily due
to decreased sales to the agricultural
end market due to lower demand and
the previously disclosed customer
acceleration of approximately $5.0
million of orders that occurred in Q2
2015.
Adjusted income before taxes (IBT)
increased versus Q3 2014 due mostly
to reductions in labor and overhead
costs and pricing actions.

The decrease in Distribution net
sales as compared to Q3 of last
year was the result of decreased
demand in some of the
segment’s geographic markets,
partially due to a stronger dollar.
Reduced operating costs and
lower SG&A expenses led to the
32.6% increase in adjusted
income before taxes (IBT) year-
over-year.

Outlook/Guidance
Challenging market conditions in agricultural end market expected to continue but
seeing some positive signs
Decreased corn production and low crop prices are expected to continue to decrease demand
for agricultural storage containers, but we are encouraged by a planned increase in orders from a
larger customer in that end market and look forward to the prospect of an improved 2016
Stronger sales to food processing and automotive end markets that began in Q3 are expected to
continue in Q4 and 2016
Fourth quarter and full year 2016 results should benefit from recent and upcoming new
product introductions
Legacy material handling product re-introductions
New product introductions by Scepter of trigger-control and vented hi-flo gas cans
Maintenance and cleaning of bulk boxes by Buckhorn
Vending machine program in the Distribution Segment
Capital expenditures for continuing operations in 2015 are expected to be
approximately $25 -
$30 million
Approximately 70% of Capital Expenditures will be used for growth and productivity projects
Anticipate effective tax rate for full year 2015 will be approximately 32.5%
A result of shift to more international earnings with a full year of Scepter in our results
Free cash flow is estimated to be between $25 -
$30 million
Capital allocation priorities will remain both opportunistic and balanced

*Income taxes calculated using the normalized effective tax rate for each year.
release and in this reconciliation chart is a non-GAAP financial measure that Myers Industries, Inc. calculates according to the
schedule above, using GAAP amounts from the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes that the
excluded items are not primarily related to core operational activities. The Company believes that income (loss) excluding items that
are not primarily related to core operating activities is generally viewed as providing useful information regarding a company's
operating profitability. Management uses income (loss) excluding these items as well as other financial measures in connection with
its decision-making activities. Income (loss) excluding these items should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net
income (loss), income (loss) before taxes or other consolidated income data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's
method for calculating income (loss) excluding these items may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.
