CLEVELAND, July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) today reported its second quarter results for 2015. Adjusted earnings per share increased to an all-time quarterly high of $0.57, up 12% from $0.51 in the second quarter of 2014. GAAP earnings per share of $0.74 in the second quarter of 2015 increased from $0.33 in the second quarter of 2014. Special items for the second quarter of 2015 included a tax benefit and realignment charges, which resulted in a net after-tax gain of $15.9 million, or $0.17 per share (see Attachment 1).
"I am very pleased to report we delivered double-digit adjusted earnings expansion of 12% for the second quarter and our 23rd consecutive quarter of EPS growth," said Robert M. Patterson, president and chief executive officer, PolyOne Corporation. "We were able to achieve this strong performance in the second quarter despite a weaker Euro, which reduced EPS by $0.02 per share versus the prior year."
Mr. Patterson added, "Profitability expansion continues to be at the heart of our specialty transformation, and this quarter was no exception. Our Color, Additives and Inks business led the way with its highest level of quarterly operating income in segment history, and posting a record return on sales of 18.2%." Mr. Patterson added, "Specialty Engineered Materials, Performance Products and Solutions and Distribution also posted impressive profitability gains. On a consolidated basis, our operating margin surpassed 10% for the first time in our company's history."
Commenting on the company's other accomplishments during the quarter, Mr. Patterson said, "I am pleased with the progress we are making at Designed Structures and Solutions as evidenced by our sequential margin improvement from the first quarter. I am encouraged by our new business wins and operational improvements and confident we have the right team in place as we continue to transform the legacy Spartech businesses."
Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $887 million, compared to $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2014. The decline resulted from unfavorable foreign exchange, lower selling prices in Distribution and Performance Products & Solutions as a result of lower hydrocarbon based raw material costs, and the ongoing integration of legacy Spartech business.
Bradley C. Richardson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, PolyOne Corporation said, "We continued our strong track record of converting earnings to cash, generating approximately $95 million in free cash flow in the quarter. We ended June with nearly $500 million in available liquidity. This provides us significant financial capacity to invest in innovation, pursue acquisitions, and deliver cash to shareholders through opportunistic share repurchases and increasing dividends."
Commenting on the company's outlook, Mr. Patterson said, "I am pleased we achieved double-digit EPS growth, which remains our ongoing objective. As the year progresses, I believe we are doing an outstanding job of managing what we can control, improving profitability and delivering record earnings as a result. From a macro-economic perspective, the Euro remains very weak against the dollar and demand appears to be slowing in Asia. These headwinds impact our specialty businesses in the short-term, but with over $40 billion of market opportunity, we have nearly unlimited potential for long-term growth."
Mr. Patterson added, "At our Investor Day in May, we highlighted several key drivers of our future growth, most notably innovation and collaboration across our businesses. Our innovation pipeline has never been stronger with $1.9 billion of market opportunity identified for newly developed products. As these projects are commercialized, we see tremendous upside to our profitability potential as outlined in our Platinum Vision for 2020."

Specialty Platform consists of our three specialty segments: Global Specialty Engineered Materials; Global Color, Additives and Inks; and Designed Structures and Solutions. We present Specialty Platform sales, gross margin, selling and administration, and operating income because management believes that this is useful information to investors by highlighting our collective progress in advancing our specialization strategy.

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 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 GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition of special items.
