NEWS RELEASE
PolyOne Reports Second-Quarter 2007 Results
o Double-digit percent operating income and gross margin improvement
in aggregate for business segments, excluding Vinyl Business and
Resin & Intermediates
o Soft residential construction demand in North America depresses
Resin & Intermediates joint ventures and Vinyl Business segment
sales and margins
o International Color and Engineered Materials segment delivers
double-digit sales and earnings growth
o North American Color and Additives business turns profitable
o On July 6, PolyOne sold its interest in Oxy Vinyls, L.P. for $261
million
CLEVELAND - August 7, 2007 - PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a leading global
provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, today
reported unaudited results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 and for
the first half of 2007.
Sales in the second quarter of 2007 reached $688.8 million, up 5 percent from
the first quarter of 2007 and flat compared with second-quarter 2006 sales.
PolyOne reported a $0.06 per share loss in the quarter. Second quarter 2007
earnings included special items, of which $0.15 per share were charges
associated with the divestment of the Oxy Vinyls, L.P. (OxyVinyls) joint venture
(sold July 6, 2007) and the premium costs associated with the redemption of $100
million of the Company's 10.625 percent Senior Notes due 2010. Adjusting for the
above and other special items, the Company earned $0.10 per share. (See
Attachments 5, 7 & 7A "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures")
For the second quarter of 2006, the Company earned $0.46 per share. The
year-over-year decline in second quarter 2007 earnings is primarily attributable
to:
o The July 6, 2007 strategic divestment of the OxyVinyls joint venture
and the redemption of $100 million of the Company's 10.625 percent
Senior Notes due in 2010, which in combination resulted in charges
of $22.3 million;
o Lower income from the Resin and Intermediates (R&I) joint ventures
($17.0 million) and the Vinyl Business segment ($6.7 million);
o Non-recurring benefits to second quarter 2006 results that included
one-time insurance, legal settlements and adjustments to related
reserves of $8.4 million; and
o A reversal totaling $14.1 million of a deferred tax allowance
associated with domestic earnings when compared to the second
quarter of 2006.
A marked downward shift in residential building and construction demand drove
OxyVinyls earnings down $40.4 million , dropping from $41.3 million for the
first six months of 2006 to $0.9 million for same period in 2007. As previously
noted, on July 6, 2007, the Company divested its OxyVinyls equity interest for
$261 million in cash.
With a portion of the net proceeds from the OxyVinyls divestment, the Company
has called for redemption on August 9, 2007 of the entire outstanding balance of
$141.4 million of its 10.625 percent Senior Notes due 2010. The cumulative
elimination of $241.4 million of these Senior Notes in the second and third
quarters of 2007 will lower annual interest expense by approximately $25 million
in 2008 compared with 2006, with the Company realizing an anticipated $5 million
interest expense reduction in the third quarter 2007 compared to the second
quarter.
"While the downturn in construction and residential housing significantly
affected our R&I joint ventures and Vinyl Business in North America, we are
encouraged by the operating performance in our non-vinyl businesses," said
Stephen D. Newlin, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Second
quarter operating income for the four businesses that comprise the All Other
business segment improved 60 percent, led by increased gross margins realized
through specialization efforts. Additionally, in the second quarter, North
American Color and Additives turned profitable and our International Color and
Engineered Materials segment delivered double-digit sales and earnings growth."
For the second quarter of 2007, PolyOne reported operating income of $12.4
million and gross margin of 12.3 percent, down from the same period in 2006,
primarily due to weakness in the chloro-vinyl businesses. Gross margin in the
Vinyl Business segment declined due to continued softness in residential
construction demand. Operating income in the aggregate for the Company's
non-vinyl operating segments increased 33 percent, or $4.8 million, compared to
the second quarter of 2006. Reflecting progress from the Company's
specialization strategy, aggregate gross margin as a percentage of sales for
these businesses improved 1.2 percentage points to 12.7 percent compared with
the same period a year ago.
Newlin added, "Although much work remains in our transformation, our strategies
are delivering results earlier than anticipated. Moreover, with the divestment
of our interest in the OxyVinyls joint venture, we have significantly reduced
our exposure to the building and construction end markets, eliminated a major
source of earnings volatility and reduced our debt. We now have increased
flexibility to explore new value-creating opportunities for the Company in
support of our strategy."
Third-quarter 2007 Business Outlook
PolyOne anticipates that the overall North American economic environment in the
third quarter of 2007 will continue to be challenging and reflect only modest
improvement compared with the second quarter of 2007. North American
construction and automotive demand are projected to remain weak and below third
quarter 2006 levels. Consequently, Vinyl Business sales are expected to be flat
sequentially, but decline up to 10 percent compared with the third quarter of
2006. Aggregate non-Vinyl business sales, on the other hand, are anticipated to
grow 6 percent to 9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2006. In
particular, solid demand is expected in most key international markets, driving
continued growth in sales and earnings. Total gross margin is projected to
increase year-over-year reflecting early benefits from the Company's
specialization strategy.
SunBelt earnings are anticipated to decline moderately compared with the prior
year, but overall chlor-alkali margins are projected to remain relatively
strong. After the divestment on July 6, 2007, OxyVinyls results will no longer
be reported.
2
In the third quarter of 2006, the Company realized $6.8 million net benefit from
legal settlements and adjustments to related reserves. The Company does not
anticipate realizing a similar benefit this year. The Company anticipates that
third quarter "Corporate and eliminations," excluding non-operational charges,
should be consistent with the first half 2007 average.
The Company projects that interest expense for the third quarter will decline
approximately $5 million sequentially as a result of its planned redemption on
August 9, 2007 of the outstanding balance of the 10.625 percent Senior Notes due
2010.
The completion of the OxyVinyls divestiture will result in a $31.5 million
non-recurring tax benefit in the third quarter from the reversal of deferred tax
liabilities. Partially offsetting this benefit will be debt premium costs and
the write-off of unamortized debt issuance fees associated with the redemption
of the $141.4 million outstanding balance of the Senior Notes as well as other
factors that should total approximately $10.5 million.
Consistent with the first and second quarters of this year, the Company will
record tax expense related to domestic earnings in the third quarter of 2007 in
contrast with the same period in 2006. Recording this tax expense will not
affect cash flow due to PolyOne's remaining domestic net operating loss
carry-forwards. Cash taxes will continue to be associated principally with
non-U.S. earnings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial
measures are: operating cash flow, operating income (loss) before special items
and per share impact of special items, operating income excluding the Vinyl
Business segment, gross margin, earnings before OxyVinyls divestment and debt
premium charges and gross margin excluding the Vinyl Business segment. The most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures are: net cash provided (used) by
operating activities, operating income (loss) and income (loss) per share and
gross margin.
PolyOne's chief operating decision makers use these financial measures to
monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and each business
segment and to allocate resources. In addition, operating income before special
items and operating cash flow are components of various PolyOne annual and
long-term employee incentive plans.
Tables included in this news release reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure
with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (Attachments 7 & 7A)
and provide detail about special items (Attachment 5). Also attached are certain
financial schedules and a summary of unaudited segment results.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized,
although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions.
Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate

materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear
this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are
advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects
in our reports on Form 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K that we provide to the Securities and
Exchange Commission. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or
identify all risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider any list to be
a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. (Ref. #80807)

Business Segment Operations (Unaudited)
(In millions)
Senior management uses operating income before the effect of "special items" to
assess performance and allocate resources to business segments because senior
management believes that this measure is useful in understanding current
profitability levels and how current levels may serve as a base for future
performance. In addition, operating income before the effect of "special items"
is a component various PolyOne annual and long-term employee incentive plans and
is used in debt covenant computations.

Senior management uses gross margins as a key metric to assess
the performance of the Company's operating segments in comparison to the targets
established in the long-term strategic plan developed by each of the operating
segments. Senior management believes that this measure is useful in evaluating
current profitability levels, how current levels may serve as a base for future
performance and assess the progress of each operating segment in achieving its
strategic initiatives.
