AKRON, Ohio October 25, 2010 A. Schulman, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: SHLM) announced today earnings for
the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter ended August 31, 2010. The Company reported net income for the
fourth quarter of $7.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, a $15.8 million improvement from the
net loss of $7.9 million for the comparable period last year. The translation effect of foreign
currencies reduced net income by $1.2 million.
The fiscal 2010 fourth quarter included certain after-tax net charges of approximately $3.8
million, which were primarily related to purchase accounting adjustments, asset write-downs, costs
related to acquisitions and restructuring-related expenses. Last years fourth quarter included
$13.3 million of after-tax, non-operating charges related to restructuring expenses and asset
write-downs. Excluding these charges, net income for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter was $11.7
million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with $5.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for
the prior-year period. The Companys fiscal 2010 fourth-quarter results contained a full quarter
of the acquired ICO, Inc.s operations, which contributed approximately $2.4 million to adjusted
net income in the quarter, including $2.4 million of increased amortization and depreciation
expense after tax.
We are pleased with our strong earnings improvement for both the fourth quarter and the full year
of fiscal 2010, said Joseph M. Gingo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Our
performance shows that our strategy is working, and it reflects the strong culture we are
developing at A. Schulman a culture that is committed to shareholder value creation through
long-term profitable growth. We saw the restoration of profitability in our legacy U.S. operations
in fiscal 2010 as well as the strengthening of our position in key global markets.
Gingo continued, During the fiscal year, we successfully completed two acquisitions ICO, which
expanded our global presence in the masterbatch and specialty powders markets, and McCann Color,
which increased our capabilities in the North American masterbatch market. We are also excited
about our agreement to acquire Mash Compostos Plasticos, which we announced on October 18, 2010,
pending customary closing procedures. Based in Brazil, Mash produces
masterbatch additives and engineered plastics compounds. Along with ICO, this marks our second
acquisition in the past six months in Brazil that will help us expand our presence in this growing
market.

Net sales for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter were $476.2 million, an increase of 49% compared with
$320.6 million for the comparable period last year. Excluding ICO, sales increased 17% compared
with net sales in the same period a year ago. Volume reached 525 million pounds, up 60% from last
years reported 329 million pounds. ICO accounted for 183 million pounds. Excluding ICO, volume
increased 4% for the quarter while price and mix accounted for a 20% increase in sales. Currency
translation had the effect of reducing sales by 7%.
Reported gross profit for the quarter, excluding ICO, was $46.2 million, a decrease of $6.0 million
from the fourth quarter of last year. ICO accounted for $13.3 million of the current period gross
profit. Currency translation had the effect of reducing gross profit by $4.2 million. Gross
margin, including ICO, was 12.5% compared with 16.3% in the fourth quarter of last year. Excluding
certain one-time charges and acquisition-related items, gross profit was $60.9 million compared
with $52.3 million last year. ICO contributed $14.7 million to gross profit, excluding these
items. In the quarter, the Companys business in the Americas continued to see improvements in
gross profit per pound and gross margin rates while the European business was impacted by higher
raw material prices and manufacturing inefficiencies driven by the scarcity of certain raw
materials as well as foreign currency translation.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter was $45.3
million, an increase of $3.5 million compared with the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter. ICO, excluding
certain items, accounted for $11.3 million of SG&A for the quarter while the translation effect of
foreign exchange reduced SG&A by $2.6 million. Other items reducing SG&A were bonus accrual
adjustments, bad debt accrual reversals and the impact of equity incentive programs.
For fiscal 2010, the Company reported net income of $43.9 million, or $1.57 per diluted share,
compared with a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per share last year. Excluding certain one-time
charges and acquisition-related items, net income was $48.2 million, or $1.72 per diluted share,
for fiscal 2010, compared with $16.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, a year ago. EBITDA,
excluding certain items, increased 71% to $92.8 million reflecting the profitability increases
experienced during the fiscal year. Sales volume increased 21% for the full year to 1.6 billion
pounds. Excluding ICO, which reported 239 million pounds sold, sales volume was up 3%, reflecting
the slowly improving economic conditions the Company has recently experienced. The net income
improvement was driven by the significant increase in gross profit for the full year reflecting
cost reductions, margin improvement initiatives and market improvement.
Results in the following segment discussion exclude the one-time charges and acquisition-related
items discussed above.
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) In the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter, sales were $318.4
million, an increase of $82.4 million or 35% compared with the prior-year period. ICO accounted
for $42.7 million of the sales increase while the translation effect of foreign exchange had the
effect of reducing sales by $24.8 million. Volume for the quarter, excluding ICO, increased by 8%.
Changes in prices and product mix increased sales by almost 20% compared with the same period last
year.
2
Gross profit was reported at $37.6 million for the quarter, up slightly from last year, excluding
the negative effect of foreign exchange. ICO contributed $4.4 million to the gross profit. EMEAs
gross profit percentage was down approximately 5.6 percentage points excluding ICO. Despite the
strong increase in sales due to price and mix as discussed above, contribution margin per pound in
Euros dropped 9% as the Company was not able to fully pass on cost increases during the quarter.
Additionally, shortages of a few key raw materials drove an increase in manufacturing
inefficiencies. The Company notes that raw material prices have begun to moderate while the
Company has been increasing prices.
Operating income for the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter was $12.6 million compared with $14.7 million
last year. ICO accounted for $0.5 million of the quarterly result. Foreign exchange had the
effect of reducing operating profit by $1.7 million.
Our EMEA operations had a strong year overall. Margins were good, price and product mix improved,
and our strategic realignment initiatives favorably impacted capacity utilization, Gingo said.
Over this raw material pricing cycle, we received significant benefit from lower raw material
prices in our first quarter. However, this was offset in the fourth quarter, as margins were
impacted by rising prices for raw materials which were not completely offset by our aggressive
pricing actions for our products. We have worked hard to improve margins under current market
conditions and have begun to see improved results as we move into fiscal 2011.
The Americas Combined operating income for the Americas, including discontinued operations, was
$7.0 million during the quarter, compared with last years fourth-quarter loss of $1.4 million.
ICO accounted for $4.0 million of that operating income. Gross profit for the fourth quarter more
than doubled to $19.1 million from $8.3 million for the prior-year period. ICO accounted for $8.7
million of the increase in gross profit, with the remainder coming from margin improvement
initiatives and mix. Volume was relatively flat. For the full year, the Americas, including
discontinued operations, reported a total operating profit of $12.0 million, compared with a loss
of $13.6 million a year ago, primarily driven by the stronger gross profit and, to a lesser extent,
the ICO effect.
The turnaround in our U.S. business, the continuing strength of our Mexican operations and the
growth of our South American footprint combined to make fiscal 2010 a profitable one for the
Americas, Gingo said. We will continue to manage this portion of our business aggressively by
pursuing the many opportunities for our high-value products in this region, especially in the
masterbatch and specialty powders markets.
Asia Pacific Sales were $33.0 million, an increase of approximately 130% for the quarter
compared with the same period last year. Excluding ICO, sales were $17.8 million, up 25%. Volume
excluding ICO increased almost 15%. Gross profits were $4.2 million compared with $2.5 million in
the comparable quarter last year. ICO accounted for $1.6 million of the increase. Operating
income was $0.5 million compared with income of $1.4 million for the prior-year quarter. ICO
accounted for $0.1 million of the decline with the remainder coming from a realignment of cost
allocations to more clearly reflect business practices going forward.
3
ICO For the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter, the combined ICO businesses contributed approximately
183 million to pounds, $102 million to sales, $13.3 million to gross profit ($14.7 million
excluding certain items) and $1.8 million to operating profit ($3.4 million excluding certain
items). For the full year, ICO contributed 239.4 million to pounds, $134.2 million to sales, $15.6
million to gross profit ($19.5 million excluding certain items) and $0.8 million to
operating income ($4.8 million excluding certain items). Non-operating purchase accounting
adjustments increased the value of inventory, which led to $1.4 million of increased costs in the
quarter and $3.9 million of increased costs for the full year, and reduced gross profit. This
increase is excluded when the Company discusses results excluding certain adjustments. In
addition, the Company has increased the value of ICOs fixed assets and intangible assets. As a
result, incremental non-cash depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $2.7 million
during the quarter and $3.4 million for the May through August period. During the fourth quarter,
the Company continued to refine its purchase accounting adjustments. As a result, the Company
increased its estimated incremental 2011 depreciation and amortization expense from $7.0 million
pre-tax estimated at the end of the third quarter to $10 million and from $5.6 million after tax to
$8.6 million.
Cash Flow From Operations and Working Capital
The Companys liquidity position improved during the quarter. Working capital, excluding ICO,
dropped to 59 days from 60 days at the end of the third quarter. Including ICO, the Company
reported 63 days of working capital. Net debt decreased to $31.9 million from $54.1 million at the
end of the third quarter. In recognition of the Companys strong cash position, the quarterly
dividend was increased 3.3% to $0.155 per share. Cash flow from operations was $4.4 million for
fiscal 2010, compared with $181.5 million for the previous year.
Fiscal 2011 Guidance and Business Outlook
Although the long-term prospects for the global economy remain uncertain, we are optimistic that
the gradual recovery of our overall markets will continue, Gingo said. With a full year of
impact from our acquisitions, and the addition of Mash, we expect to see continued strong global
growth as we build on the momentum we established in fiscal 2010. Although margin comparisons are
likely to be unfavorable in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due largely to the very favorable raw
material pricing we saw in the fiscal 2010 first quarter and the moderating margin squeeze noted in
the EMEA discussion above, we expect to make up the shortfall in the subsequent quarters of the year.
Based on these expectations, the Company is establishing guidance for fiscal 2011 net income to be
in the range of $57 million to $62 million. This net income assumes a euro exchange rate of $1.35,
and incremental full-year amortization and depreciation, as a result of the ICO acquisition, of $10
million pre-tax or $8.6 million after tax and an incremental $1.0 million after-tax increase in
interest expense due to higher rates expected in the Companys new revolving credit agreement to be
finalized early in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The after-tax amortization and depreciation
number, which is non-cash, is $3.0 million higher than the amount reported in the fiscal 2010 third quarter.

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 net income excluding certain
items, net income per diluted share excluding certain items and EBITDA
excluding certain items. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are net income and
net income per diluted share. Tables included in this news release reconcile each non-GAAP
financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
A. Schulman uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the
Company and to allocate resources, and believes that the additional non-GAAP measures are useful to
investors for financial analysis. In addition, the Company believes that providing this
information is in the best interest of our investors so that they can accurately consider the
non-GAAP financial information. However, non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, nor are
they a substitute for, GAAP measures.
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental
information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. These
non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be reported by all of
the Companys competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of the
Companys competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company
compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP
financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their
most comparable GAAP financial measures.
The Companys non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the
Companys consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
