MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC.
Exhibit 99.1


FORWARD
LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Statements in this presentation concerning the Company’s goals, strategies, and expectations for business and financial results may be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current
indicators
and expectations.  Whenever you read a statement that is not simply a statement of 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
Myers Industries, Inc. encourages investors to learn more about these risk factors. A detailed explanation of these factors is available in
the Company’s publicly filed quarterly and annual reports, which can be found online at www.myersindustries.com
and at the SEC.gov web
site.

RECONCILIATION
OF
NON-GAAP MEASURES
MYERS INDUSTRIES, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE TAXES BY SEGMENT (UNAUDITED)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Note
on
Reconciliation
of
Income
and
Earnings
Data:
Income
(loss)
excluding
the
items
above
in
the
text
of
this
presentation
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
Condensed
Consolidated
Statement
of
Operations.
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
income
(loss)
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.
*Income taxes are calculated using the normalized effective tax rate for each year. The normalized rate used in 2016 is 37.5% and the normalized rate used in 2015 is 36%.
