PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported $679.4 million of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012, a 6% increase compared to $640.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.03 in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $0.13 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 17% to $0.21 for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $0.18 in the fourth quarter last year.
Full-year revenues in 2012 increased 4.5% to $3.0 billion, compared to $2.9 billion in 2011. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.80 for the full year 2012, compared to $1.83 per diluted share in 2011. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for 2012 increased 18% to $1.20 compared with $1.02 reported for 2011.
"I am pleased with our fourth quarter results, as we expanded adjusted EPS by 17% over the fourth quarter of 2011. This is a record fourth quarter with adjusted EPS of $0.21, marking PolyOne's thirteenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth," said Stephen D. Newlin, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "The fourth quarter caps another strong year of performance by PolyOne. For the full year, each of our three strategic platforms achieved record levels of operating income and operating margins, despite recessionary conditions in Europe."

Mr. Newlin added, "In addition to delivering record adjusted earnings per share, we also accomplished other notable achievements in 2012, including the successful integration of ColorMatrix, the agreement to acquire Spartech and the completion of the Glasforms acquisition."
Commenting on the company's outlook, Mr. Newlin said, "In 2013, we are targeting double digit expansion of adjusted earnings per share. We do not view recovery in Europe as imminent; however, we do see potential for some improvement in the second half of the year. Regardless of the economic environment, we are intensely focused on driving profitable organic revenue and EPS growth through new technology launches, application development and cross-selling. In addition, we are confident in our ability to efficiently integrate Glasforms and Spartech, resulting in Specialty growth for PolyOne and increased value for our customers and shareholders."
"In delivering record fourth quarter earnings, we overcame a higher tax rate of 39.4% compared to 30.7% in 2011 due to our regional mix of earnings," said Richard J. Diemer, Jr., senior vice president and chief financial officer. "Excellent working capital continues to be a strength for PolyOne and we ended the year with $210 million of cash, even after funding the Glasforms acquisition."
Mr. Diemer added, "In 2012, adjusted EPS improved 18% over the prior year. While we target double-digit EPS growth every year, in order to achieve this we will need to overcome a headwind of $0.13 per share associated with higher post-retirement healthcare expense in 2013."
The company recorded special items in the fourth quarter of 2012 resulting in a net charge of $26.5 million ($16.3 million after tax, $0.18 per share). The largest special item was a $42.0 million ($25.9 million after tax; $0.29 per share) pension and post-retirement benefit mark-to-market adjustment, partially offset by an expected earn-out of $23.0 million ($14.0 million after tax; $0.15 per share) from the sale of the company's interest in the SunBelt joint venture. Other special items in the fourth quarter of 2012 included acquisition related expenses and environmental remediation costs. By comparison, special items for the fourth quarter 2011 resulted in a net charge of $73.4 million ($45.3 million after tax, $0.49 per share) and included an $83.8 million ($52.0 million after tax, $0.57 per share) mark-to-market adjustment for pension and post-retirement benefits, partially offset by an earn-out of $18.1 million ($11.2 million after tax, $0.12 per share) from the sale of the company's interest in the SunBelt joint venture. Also in the fourth quarter of 2011, the company recorded $40.9 million of favorable tax adjustments, including a $29.5 million ($0.32 per share) benefit associated with the prior divestiture of its investment in O'Sullivan Engineered Films and valuation allowance reversals.

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 that
current levels may serve as a base for future performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. Below is a
reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition of special items.
