Sharpening  Our  Focus  

Statements in this presentation concerning the Company’s goals, strategies, and expectations for business and financial results may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current indicators and expectations. Whenever you read a statement that is not simply a statement of historical fact (such as when we describe what we "believe," "expect," or "anticipate" will occur, and other similar statements), you must remember that our expectations may not be correct, even though we believe they are reasonable. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You should review this presentation with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the applicable statements. Such risks include: (1) Fluctuations in product demand and market acceptance (2) Uncertainties associated with the general economic conditions in domestic and international markets (3) Increased competition in our markets (4) Changes in seasonality (5) Difficulties in manufacturing operations, such as production outages or maintenance programs (6) Raw material availability (7) Fluctuations in raw material costs; fluctuations outside the “normal” range of industry cycles (8) Changes in laws and regulations and approvals and decisions of courts, regulators, and governmental bodies Myers Industries, Inc. encourages investors to learn more about these risk factors. A detailed explanation of these factors is available in the Company’s publicly filed quarterly and annual reports, which can be found online at www.myersind.com and at the SEC.gov web site.
