PolyOne Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results
- Revenue of $904 million compared to $915 million in the prior year quarter, as acquisitions partially offset soft demand conditions and unfavorable foreign exchange
- GAAP EPS of $0.54 compared to $0.64 in the prior year quarter, primarily related to earn-out adjustments associated with previous acquisitions
- Adjusted EPS of $0.74 reaches the high end of the range provided in the Company's June 10th announcement on improved second quarter outlook
- Increases full-year adjusted EPS growth expectations to 4-6%
CLEVELAND, July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported its second quarter results for 2019. Consolidated revenue for the second quarter was $904 million, 1% below the second quarter of the prior year as growth from acquisitions of 3.5% partially offset a 3.0% reduction in organic sales and a 1.5% reduction due to unfavorable foreign exchange.
GAAP earnings per share were $0.54 in the second quarter of 2019, including earnout adjustments associated with previous acquisitions, and compares to $0.64 in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.74 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $0.71 for the second quarter of 2018.
"We finished the quarter at the high end of the range we communicated when we raised our outlook in early June," said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, PolyOne Corporation. "Sequentially, margins expanded in all segments when compared to the first quarter of 2019, and this helped us offset much of the weakness we continue to experience in certain end markets and regions as well as unfavorable exchange."
Mr. Patterson continued, "Compared to the prior year second quarter, our Specialty Engineered Materials (SEM) segment led our performance with a 22% increase in operating income. I am very pleased with the investments we have made in composites and wire and cable applications, which helped drive this growth. This has been a significant area of focus for us as we build out a portfolio of more specialized materials and solutions in this segment."
"I am also pleased with the expansion of our sustainable solutions portfolio which is up 7% year-to-date versus last year," added Mr. Patterson. "These products are focused on reducing carbon footprint with lighter weight materials, increasing the recyclability of packaging and reducing water usage to name a few."
The company noted continued weakness in automotive demand in Europe and China, which impacted its SEM and Color Additives and Inks segments. While the company did experience modest improvement in North America construction demand versus previous expectations for the second quarter, sales into this end market remained below 2018 levels.
Commenting on the company's near-term outlook, Mr. Patterson said, "We believe the current market challenges will continue into the second half of 2019. Despite this, we have momentum from our composites investments, and we are realizing margin expansion from improved mix, pricing and cost reductions. Assuming we continue to capitalize on these efforts and experience no further decline in demand, we expect to deliver adjusted EPS growth of 4-6% for the full year. This is better than anticipated following our first quarter results."
"Longer term, we will continue to invest in our people, innovation and strengthening our portfolio," Mr. Patterson continued. "Innovation is the lifeblood of a specialty company, and our ongoing growth of composites and sustainable solutions are examples of how we're positioning PolyOne to serve our customers and deliver value to our many stakeholders well into the future," Mr. Patterson said.

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. |
With respect to our forecasted results for full-year 2019 adjusted EPS, the Company does not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure because it is not possible for the Company to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. |

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. |
