PolyOne Announces Second Quarter 2017 Results

July 25, 2017
-- Revenue expanded 7% to $814 million, driven by recent commercial investments and record performances in Distribution and Performance Products and Solutions
-- GAAP EPS loss of $2.20 due to the loss from discontinued operations resulting from the sale of Designed Structures and Solutions
-- Adjusted EPS increased 7% to $0.63 from $0.59 offsetting significantly higher raw material costs
-- Completed acquisitions of Rutland and Mesa, expanding specialty colorant solutions portfolio

 

CLEVELAND, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported its second quarter results for 2017.  GAAP EPS loss of $2.20 due to the loss from the sale of Designed Structures and Solutions (DSS), which is now presented as discontinued operations.  This compares to GAAP EPS of $0.59 in the prior year second quarter.  Excluding special items (see Attachment 1), adjusted earnings per share expanded to $0.63 from $0.59.

"The last few weeks mark an important inflection point in our specialty journey as we have completed the divestiture of DSS and reinvested the proceeds to acquire Rutland and Mesa," said Robert M. Patterson, chairman, president and chief executive officer, PolyOne Corporation.  "These portfolio actions enable us to focus on our core areas of expertise and better serve our customers with an expanded offering of specialty solutions."

"Our customers recognize and value the important role of color and design in their products as the ultimate expression of consumer preference," Mr. Patterson added. "Both Rutland and Mesa share PolyOne's passion for innovative color solutions and make great additions to our specialty portfolio."

"We're further pleased to have these businesses join forces with us at a time when we have momentum and are demonstrating strong organic growth," said Mr. Patterson.  "Sales and adjusted EPS both increased 7% over the prior year.  6% of the sales growth is organic with broad-based gains resulting from the significant investments we have made in commercial resources in each of our segments."

Bradley C. Richardson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, commented, "Over the last three years we have invested heavily in additional commercial resources, most notably increasing our sales force by almost 20% over this time period.  These resources, coupled with innovative service offerings such as IQ Design and LSS Customer First, have been the driving force behind our sales growth."

Mr. Richardson continued, "Two of our segments, Performance Products and Solutions and Distribution delivered record levels of second quarter operating income, largely driving results for the quarter.  Adjusted EPS on a consolidated basis was impacted by raw material inflation, which compressed margins and partially offset our sales gains, most notably in our Specialty Engineered Materials segment.  Although raw material index prices have begun to moderate, our costs were substantially higher than the prior year."

Commenting further on the company's performance and outlook, Mr. Patterson said, "I'm pleased with our success in driving revenue growth - and especially proud that all four of our segments delivered organic top line expansion for the second consecutive quarter.  As we look ahead, I am confident our now streamlined structure will accelerate innovation and improve service in our core areas of expertise as we pursue our 2020 Platinum Vision."

Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results. Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.

Attachment 7
 

PolyOne Corporation
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 how it may serve as a basis for future performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Senior management believes these measures are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to PolyOne's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure PolyOne's operating results due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.
