Safe Harbor
Please note that in this presentation, we may discuss events or results that have not yet occurred or been realized, commonly referred
to as forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Such discussion and statements will often contain words such as “expect,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan” and “estimate,” and include, without limitations, statements regarding the Company's adjusted
EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share, expected or estimated revenue, meeting financial goals, segment earnings, net
interest expense, income tax provision, cash flow from operations, full year cash taxes, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and
other non-cash charges, the outlook for the Company's markets and the demand for its products, consistent profitable growth, free
cash flows, future revenues, gross, operating and EBITDA margin requirements and expansion, organic net sales growth, performance
trends, bank leverage ratios, the success of new product introductions, growth in costs and expenses, the impact of commodities and
currencies costs, the Company's ability to manage its risk in these areas, the Company’s ability to identify, hire and retain executives
and other qualified employees, the Company’s assessment over its internal control over financial reporting, and the impact of
acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, and other unusual items, including the Company's ability to raise new debt and equity and to
integrate and obtain the anticipated results and synergies from its consummated acquisitions. These projections and statements are
based on management's estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be
reasonable, though are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result
of certain factors. A discussion of factors that could cause results to vary is included in the Company's periodic and other reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This presentation also contains unaudited “comparable” financial information which assumes full period contribution of Alent plc and
the Electronic Chemicals and Photomasks businesses of OM Group, Inc. acquired in Q4 2015; and OMG Electronic Chemicals (M)
SdnBhd acquired in 2016. This combined information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily, and should
not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the Company’s acquisitions been completed as
of the dates indicated, or that may be achieved in the future. Historical financial results and information included herein relating to
these acquired businesses were derived from public filings, when applicable, and/or information provided by management of these
businesses prior to their acquisitions by the Company. Although we believe it is reliable, this information has not been verified,
internally or independently. In addition, financial information for some of these acquired businesses was historically prepared in
accordance with non-GAAP accounting methods, and may or may not be comparable to the Company’s financial statements.
Consequently, there is no assurance that the financial results and information for these legacy businesses included herein are
accurate or complete, or representative in any way of the Company’s actual or future results as a consolidated company.

Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: comparable adjusted diluted earnings per share,
comparable sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA guidance, comparable adjusted EBITDA,
comparable adjusted EBITDA margin and organic sales. The Company also evaluates and presents its results of operations on a
constant currency and comparable constant currency basis.
The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP can be found in this presentation and the tables included in the Company’s earnings release dated August 8,
2016 (the “earnings release”), a copy of which can be found on the Company’s website at www.platformspecialtyproducts.com. This
presentation should be read in conjunction with the earnings release. The Company only provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis and
does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measure to GAAP, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and
quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for restructuring,
integration and acquisition-related expenses, share-based compensation amounts, adjustments to inventory and other charges
reflected in our reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures as key metrics in the monitoring and evaluation of the Company’s performance and
consolidated financial results and, in part, in the determination of cash bonuses for its executive officers. The Company believes that
these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of
the Company’s business and including other items that the Company believes are useful in evaluating its business; thereby providing a
more complete understanding of the Company’s operational results and a meaningful comparison of the Company’s performance
between periods and to its peers. When reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures, these non-GAAP measures also help our
investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our businesses. Finally, these non-GAAP measures address questions the
Company routinely receives from securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our
industry and, in order to assure that all investors have access to similar data, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to
make this data available to all. Non-GAAP financial measures are however not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude
certain items as described herein, and may not be indicative of the results that the Company expects to recognize for future periods. In
addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from measures that other companies may use. As a result, these non-GAAP
financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure included herein and in the earnings release.
Please see the Appendix to this presentation for a more detailed description of each non-GAAP financial measure used by the
Company, including the adjustments reflected in each such non-GAAP measure and the reason why we believe such non-GAAP
measures are useful to investors.

driven by persisting U.S. dollar strength
• EPS was less negative compared to a year ago period, due partially to higher overall earnings from acquisitions
• Organic sales increased 1% in the quarter
• Strong growth in Latin America and AME Ag despite weak commodity prices
• Declines in North America Ag driven by low farmer incomes, high channel inventories and limited pest
pressure
• Strength in automotive units partially offset by broad softness in electronics and oil and gas markets
• Comparable constant currency adj. EBITDA declined 6% in the quarter
• Year-over-year investment in enterprise development of ~$8 million
• $13 million of incremental synergies realized in the quarter

• Excluding North America, the Ag business had a strong quarter with each region showing positive sales and
earnings growth
• North America performance declined materially due to high channel inventories and lack of pest pressure
• Actions Platform took in 2015 to improve the channel were partially offset by a declining market –
particularly in cereals
• On the ground product sales continue at a rate above that of Platform’s sales to the channel –
albeit more slowly than expected given the weak market
• This year saw the lowest levels of mite infestation in over 35 years driving materially slower sales of
specialty crop pesticide portfolio
• Weak North America sales negatively impacts overall Ag margins, as it is a higher margin business
• A robust North American turnaround strategy is underway premised on:
• Normalization of channel inventory levels for key products driven by market improvement
• Significant organizational changes to salesforce to align with customers
• Share gains in seed treatment and biostimulants already successfully sold in other regions

Non-GAAP Definitions
Comparable Sales:
Comparable sales is defined as sales adjusted for the sales of our acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2015. Management believes this
measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of sales trends by providing sales on a more consistent basis.
Organic Sales:
Organic sales is defined as Comparable sales excluding the impact of currency, metals price, divestitures and acquisitions, as applicable.
Management believes this measure provides investors with a more complete understanding of the underlying sales trends by providing Comparable
sales over differing periods on a consistent basis.
Constant Currency and Comparable Constant Currency:
Our constant currency presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency
information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we also evaluate our performance. We
calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results into U.S. Dollar using the prior period's
exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our prior period reported results. The comparable constant currency presentation includes
actual results adjusted to reflect acquisitions and related financings as though they had occurred on January 1, 2015 adjusted for the effects of
purchase accounting on actual results. Management believes that this presentation provides a more complete understanding of the Company's
operational results and a meaningful comparison of its performance between periods. However, this comparable financial information is provided for
informational purposes only and is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the results that would have been achieved had
the Company’s acquisitions been completed as of the dates indicated, or that may be achieved in the future.
Adjusted EBITDA and Comparable Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for additional items included in
earnings that are not representative or indicative of our ongoing business as described in the footnotes to the non-GAAP measures reconciliations.
Comparable adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted to reflect acquisitions and the related financings as though they had occurred
on January 1, 2015 without the impact of purchase accounting. Adjusted EBITDA and comparable adjusted EBITDA are key metrics used by
management to measure operating performance and trends. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA and
comparable adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
Comparable Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share:
Comparable adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as net loss attributable to common stockholders adjusted to reflect acquisitions and the
related financings as though they had occurred on January 1, 2015 without the impact of purchase accounting, as well as other adjustments consistent
with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, we eliminate the amortization associated with (i) intangibles assets recognized in purchase
accounting for acquisitions and (ii) costs capitalized in connection with obtaining regulatory approval of our products (“registration rights”) as part of
