Forward-Looking Statements
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. For a reconciliation to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures, refer to the presentation Appendix.
This presentation and the accompanying oral remarks include “forward-looking statements,” as defined by federal securities laws.  These statements, as
well as any verbal statements by the Company in connection with this presentation, are intended to qualify for the protections afforded forward-looking
statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectation, judgment,
belief, assumption, estimate or forecast about future events, circumstances or results and may address business conditions and prospects, strategy,
capital structure, sales, profits, earnings, markets, products, technology, operations, customers, raw materials, financial condition, and accounting
policies among other matters.  Words such as, but not limited to, “will,” “may,” “should,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “seeks,” “believes,” “expects,” 
“anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “optimistic,” “likely,” “would,” “could” and similar expressions or phrases identify                   
forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.  Many risks and uncertainties are inherent in business generally and the markets in which
the Company operates or proposes to operate.  Other risks and uncertainties are more specific to the Company’s businesses, including businesses that
the Company acquires.  The occurrence of such risks and uncertainties and the impact of such occurrence is often not predictable or within the
Company’s control.  Such impacts could adversely affect the Company’s results and, in some cases, such effect could be material.
All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in
their entirety by the risks, uncertainties and cautionary statements contained herein.  Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, other than that imposed by law, to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include, among others:  the Company’s ability to
successfully integrate ELIOKEM into its operations; the Company’s ability to achieve fully the strategic and financial objectives related to the acquisition
of ELIOKEM, including the acquisition becoming accretive to the Company’s earnings; and unexpected costs or liabilities that may arise from the
acquisition, ownership or operation of ELIOKEM.
Additional risk factors include:  economic trends affecting the economy in general and/or the Company’s end-use markets; prices and availability of raw
materials including styrene, butadiene, vinyl acetate monomer, polyvinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, acrylics and textiles; ability to increase pricing to offset
raw material cost increases; product substitution and/or demand destruction due to product technology, performance or cost disadvantages; loss of a
significant customer; customer and/or competitor consolidation; customer bankruptcy; ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products; a
decrease in demand for domestically manufactured products due to increased foreign competition and off-shoring of production; ability to successfully
implement productivity enhancement and cost reduction initiatives; unplanned full or partial suspension of plant operations; losses from the Company’s
strategic alliance, joint venture, acquisition and integration activities; loss or damage due to acts of war or terrorism, natural disasters or accidents,
including fires, floods, explosions and releases of hazardous substances; ability to comply, and cost of compliance with, legislative and regulatory
changes, including changes impacting environmental, health and safety compliance and changes which may restrict or prohibit certain products and raw
materials; rapid inflation in health care costs and assumptions used in determining health care cost estimates; risks associated with foreign operations
including political unrest and fluctuations in exchange rates of foreign currencies; prolonged work stoppage resulting from labor disputes with unionized
workforce; changes in and compliance with pension plan funding obligations; stock price volatility; infringement or loss of the Company’s intellectual
property; litigation and claims against the Company related to products, services, contracts, employment, environmental,  safety,   intellectual property
and other matters; adverse litigation judgments or settlements; absence of or inadequacy of insurance coverage for litigation judgments, settlements or
other losses; availability of financing at anticipated rates and terms; and loan covenant default arising from substantial debt and leverage and the 
inability to service that debt, including increases in applicable short-term or long-term borrowing rates.
For further information on risks and uncertainties, see the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OMNOVA Butadiene Situation / Strategy
OMNOVA Butadiene Situation / Strategy
OMNOVA’s Strategic Position:
Styrene butadiene latex remains a
flexible and differentiated polymer
across diverse, high value
applications
OMNOVA SB technology continues
to deliver differentiated value both
in North America and globally
Execute multiple supply strategies
to minimize intermediate-term risk:
-
Expand domestic BD supplier base
-
Pursue Asia and European imports
-
Make opportunistic spot buys
-
Partner with other buyers to
leverage volume purchases
Current Situation:
BD supply/demand remains  
balanced globally but regional  
shortfalls remain
Additional modest increase to
supply gap expected for North
America over next 3-5 years
North America will address short-
term supply through BD/Crude C4  
imports and utilization of existing 
BD extraction assets
Longer-term BD supply will be  
increased through “on purpose”
production from butane and other  
processes

Appendix –
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt which are Non-GAAP financial measures as
defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OMNOVA’s EBITDA is calculated as income (loss) from continuing operations less interest expense, amortization of
deferred financing costs, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.  OMNOVA’s Adjusted EBITDA is
calculated as OMNOVA’s EBITDA less restructuring and severance expenses, asset impairments, non-cash stock
compensation and other items.  Segment EBITDA is calculated as segment operating income (loss) less interest
expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. 
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Segment EBITDA less restructuring and severance expenses, asset
impairments, non-cash stock compensation and other items.  For purposes of this presentation, Net Debt is
calculated as total debt less cash.
ELIOKEM’s  EBITDA is calculated as net income less interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs,
income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.  ELIOKEM’s Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as ELIOKEM’s
EBITDA less restructuring and severance expenses, asset impairments and other items. 
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are not measures of financial performance under GAAP.  EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA and Net Debt are not calculated in the same manner by all
companies and, accordingly, are not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing
performance relative to other companies.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt should not be construed as
indicators of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity and should not be considered in isolation from or as
a substitute for net income (loss), cash flows from operations or cash flow data, which are all prepared in
accordance with GAAP.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt are not intended to represent, and should not be
considered more meaningful than or as an alternative to, measures of operating performance as determined in
accordance with GAAP.  Management believes that presenting this information is useful to investors because these
measures are commonly used as analytical indicators to evaluate performance and by management to allocate
resources.  Set forth below are the reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure.
