Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 of PolyOne Corporation.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained in subsequent periods or for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Adoption of Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Auditing Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09), which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company January 1, 2017. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 2 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On March 13, 2013, PolyOne acquired Spartech Corporation (Spartech), a supplier of sustainable plastic sheet, color and engineered materials, and packaging solutions, based in Clayton, Missouri. PolyOne's management believes that the acquisition of Spartech will expand PolyOne's specialty portfolio and provide substantial synergies through enhanced operational efficiencies. By combining Spartech's leading market positions in sheet, rigid barrier packaging and specialty cast acrylics with PolyOne's capabilities, we believe that we can better serve our customers and accelerate growth.
At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Spartech common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive consideration equal to $2.67 in cash and 0.3167 shares of PolyOne common stock. PolyOne paid $83.4 million in cash and issued approximately 10.0 million shares of its common stock to Spartech's stockholders. PolyOne funded the cash portion of the consideration, and the repayment of certain portions of Spartech's debt, with a portion of the net proceeds of its issuance of 5.25% senior notes due 2023, discussed in Note 11, Financing Arrangements.
The Spartech purchase price was comprised of the following: |
| | | |
(In millions, except stock price and share data) | |
Spartech shares outstanding | 31.2 |
|
Spartech restricted stock units | 0.2 |
|
Spartech shares converted | 31.4 |

|
PolyOne closing stock price on March 13, 2013 | $ | 25.05 |

|
Fair value of Spartech equity awards, net of deferred tax benefits (1) | 2.4 |

|
Spartech senior notes repaid at close (2) | 102.3 |
|
Total consideration transferred to debt and equity holders | 515.2 |
|
Cash acquired | (4.1 | ) |
Total consideration transferred to debt and equity holders, net of cash acquired | $ | 511.1 |
|
(1) In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, the fair value of replacement awards attributable to pre-combination service is recognized as part of the purchase consideration. The $2.4 million represents the fair value of Spartech replacement equity awards of $3.9 million net of deferred tax benefits of $1.5 million. The fair value of awards attributable to post-combination service amounted to $2.7 million and is being recognized as stock compensation expense over their requisite service periods within PolyOne's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(2) In accordance with the provisions of Spartech's 7.08% senior notes due 2016 and revolving credit facilities, at the time of closing, PolyOne repaid all borrowings under Spartech's revolving credit facilities, which amounted to $77.2 million. Additionally, PolyOne repaid $102.3 million related to Spartech's 7.08% senior notes due 2016, including $88.9 million of aggregate principal, $10.3 million of make-whole provisions and $3.1 million of interest payable.
The following table summarizes the final Spartech purchase price allocation: |

Long-term debt | 11.0 |
|
Other non-current liabilities | 109.1 |
|
Total liabilities assumed | 268.7 |
|
Net assets acquired | $ | 511.1 |
|
During the first quarter of 2014, we adjusted Goodwill by $9.4 million primarily related to our finalization of the assessment of income taxes. The 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have not been retroactively adjusted as these measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on such statements.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the assets acquired, and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill has been allocated to the Designed Structures and Solutions, Global Color, Additives and Inks, and Performance Products and Solutions segments. Goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. See Note 4, Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further information.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of PolyOne's Combined Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as if the Spartech acquisition and related financing occurred on January 1, 2013. The following pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction occurred on the assumed date, nor is it necessarily an indication of trends in future results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma information, cost savings from operating efficiencies, potential synergies and the impact of incremental costs incurred in integrating the businesses: |
| | | |
(In millions) | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 |
Sales | $ | 3,065.6 |
|
Net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders | $ | 73.8 |
|
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented in the table above has been adjusted to give effect to adjustments that are: (1) directly related to the business combination; (2) factually supportable; and (3) expected to have a continuing impact.
During the nine months ended 2013, we incurred $7.2 million of acquisition-related costs primarily associated with the Spartech acquisition, which are included within the Selling and administrative expense line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 3 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 30, 2013, PolyOne sold its vinyl dispersion, blending and suspension resin assets (Resin Business) to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc. (Mexichem) for $250.0 million cash consideration. This sale resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $223.7 million ($139.7 million, net of tax) that was primarily recognized during the second quarter of 2013.
The table below summarizes results for the Resin Business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, which are reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a discontinued operation.

Note 5 — EMPLOYEE SEPARATION AND PLANT PHASE-OUT COSTS
In 2013, PolyOne determined it would close six former Spartech North American manufacturing facilities and one administrative office in Washington, Pennsylvania and relocate production to other PolyOne facilities. Further, in 2013, PolyOne determined it would also close the former Spartech Donchery, France manufacturing facility. These actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2014. The manufacturing facilities’ closings are part of the Company’s ongoing integration of Spartech, which are designed to enable the Company to better serve customers, improve efficiency, and deliver a portion of the anticipated synergy-related cost savings in connection with the Spartech acquisition. In addition to these actions, PolyOne incurred severance costs related to former Spartech executives and other employees, as well as asset-related charges and other ongoing costs associated with restructuring actions that were underway prior to PolyOne's acquisition of Spartech. Finally, the Company has also incurred charges at other Spartech locations primarily related to further asset rationalization.
The Company has incurred $89.7 million of charges in connection with the Spartech actions noted above. These costs include $27.0 million of severance, $35.2 million of asset-related charges, including accelerated depreciation, and $27.5 million of other ongoing costs. We do not expect the remaining charges for the announced Spartech actions noted above to have a material impact on our financial statements going forward.
The table below summarizes restructuring activity related to Spartech since the date of acquisition.

In June 2014, PolyOne determined it would close its Diadema and Joinville Brazil facilities that were acquired in 2011 with the acquisition of Uniplen Industria de Polimeros Ltda. (Uniplen). These actions are expected to accelerate our specialty strategy in Brazil, streamline operations and improve our financial performance in the region. The Company recognized $2.9 million of charges related to these actions during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The total charges of $17.2 million include fixed asset related charges of $5.3 million, intangible asset impairment of $1.8 million, other asset write downs of $5.3 million, plant closure costs of $1.5 million and severance charges of $3.3 million. We do not expect the remaining charges related to these actions to have a material impact to our financial statements going forward.
In addition to the Spartech and Brazil actions noted above, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $4.8 million and $8.1 million of other severance and plant phase-out charges, respectively. These charges were primarily related to European severance for certain position eliminations.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized total employee separation and plant phase-out charges of $17.9 million, which included $7.8 million recognized within Cost of goods sold and $10.1 million recognized in Selling and administrative expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized total employee separation and plant phase-out charges of $10.9 million, which included $4.8 million recognized within Cost of goods sold and $6.1 million recognized in Selling and administrative expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized total employee separation and plant phase-out charges of $70.9 million, which included $40.9 million recognized within Cost of goods sold and $30.0 million recognized in Selling and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized total employee separation and plant phase-out charges of $23.7 million, which included $4.8 million recognized within Cost of goods sold and $18.9 million recognized in Selling and administrative expenses.

Note 8 — INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense from continuing operations was $14.1 million, an effective rate of 30.4%, for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $15.8 million, an effective rate of 40.7%, for the third quarter of 2013. The lower effective rate for the third quarter of 2014 was driven primarily by a $5.1 million tax benefit associated with our investments in certain foreign affiliates.
Income tax expense from continuing operations was $27.4 million, an effective rate of 22.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $45.1 million, an effective rate of 38.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The lower effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was driven by a $10.5 million tax benefit associated with our investments in certain foreign affiliates in addition to favorable settlements with U.S. and foreign tax authorities of $4.0 million that were recognized in the first quarter of 2014.

During the first quarter of 2014, we repaid an $8.0 million industrial revenue bond that was assumed as a result of the Spartech acquisition.
During the third quarter of 2013, we repurchased $43.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.375% senior notes due 2020 and $1.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.50% debentures due 2015. We recognized $5.2 million of debt extinguishment costs within the Debt extinguishment costs line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the third quarter of 2013 in connection with such repurchases.
On February 28, 2013, PolyOne issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which mature on March 15, 2023. The senior notes bear an interest rate of 5.25% per year, payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each year, which commenced on September 15, 2013. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to pay the cash portion of the Spartech acquisition and to repay certain Spartech debt. During the first quarter of 2013, we also used a portion of these net proceeds to make a voluntary $50.0 million contribution to our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan and to repay the outstanding principal amount of $297.0 million under our senior secured term loan.
In the second quarter of 2013, we incurred debt extinguishment costs of $10.6 million related to the early retirement of our senior secured term loan, which included $8.2 million of deferred financing cost write-offs and $2.4 million of discount write-offs. These costs are presented within the Debt extinguishment costs line in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As a result of the issuance of our 2023 senior notes in February 2013, the bridge financing commitment that provided for borrowings of $250.0 million obtained at the time of the announced acquisition of Spartech expired. We recognized $1.9 million of deferred financing costs within Interest expense, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the first quarter of 2013 related to this committed financing arrangement.
On March 1, 2013, the agreement, dated December 21, 2011, governing our $300.0 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility was amended and restated. The amendment and restatement resulted in an increase in commitments of $100.0 million for a maximum borrowing facility size of $400.0 million, subject to a borrowing base with advances against certain U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable and inventory. We have the option to increase the availability under the facility to $450.0 million, subject to meeting certain requirements and obtaining commitments for such increase. In connection with the amendment and restatement, we also extended the maturity date to March 1, 2018. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants, had no outstanding borrowings and had availability of $296.8 million under this facility.
On October 2, 2012, the Company entered into a credit line with Saudi Hollandi Bank with an interest rate equal to the Saudi Arabia Interbank Offered Rate (SAIBOR) plus a fixed rate of 0.85%. The credit line is being used to fund capital expenditures related to the manufacturing facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and is subject to an annual renewal. In 2013, the Company renewed the credit line with Saudi Hollandi Bank and increased the facility size to $16.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, borrowings under the credit line were $13.1 million with an interest rate of 1.85%.
The estimated fair value of PolyOne’s debt instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $983.8 million and $1,010.3 million, respectively, compared to carrying values of $978.9 million and $988.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of PolyOne’s debt instruments was estimated using prevailing market interest rates on debt with similar creditworthiness, terms and maturities and represent Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental — We or our subsidiaries have been notified by federal and state environmental agencies and by private parties that we may be a potentially responsible party (PRP) in connection with the investigation and remediation of certain environmental sites. While government agencies frequently assert that PRPs are jointly and severally liable at these sites, in our experience, the interim and final allocations of liability costs are generally made based on the relative contribution of waste. We initiate corrective and preventive environmental projects of our own to ensure safe and lawful activities at our operations. We believe that compliance with current governmental regulations at all levels will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
In September 2007, we were informed of rulings by the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky on several pending motions in the case of Westlake Vinyls, Inc. v. Goodrich Corporation, et al., which had been pending since 2003. The Court held that PolyOne must pay the remediation costs at the former Goodrich Corporation (now Westlake Vinyls, Inc.) Calvert City facility, together with certain defense costs of Goodrich Corporation. The rulings also provided that PolyOne can seek indemnification for contamination attributable to Westlake Vinyls.
The environmental obligation at the site arose as a result of an agreement between The B.F.Goodrich Company (n/k/a Goodrich Corporation) and our predecessor, The Geon Company, at the time of the initial public offering in 1993, by which the Geon Company became a public company, to indemnify Goodrich Corporation for environmental costs at the site. At the time, neither PolyOne nor The Geon Company ever owned or operated the facility. Following the Court rulings, the parties to the litigation entered into settlement negotiations and agreed to settle all claims regarding past environmental costs incurred at the site. The settlement agreement provides a mechanism to pursue allocations of future remediation costs at the Calvert City site to Westlake Vinyls, Inc. While we do not currently assume any allocation of costs in our current reserve, we will adjust our reserve, in the future, consistent with any such future allocation of costs.
A remedial investigation and feasibility study (RIFS) is underway at Calvert City. During the third quarter of 2013, we submitted a remedial investigation report to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The USEPA has required certain changes to the remedial investigation report, and development of a final report by the USEPA is ongoing. Further, we have undertaken steps to develop a feasibility study, including engaging a third party to perform ground water modeling at this site. Based upon preliminary results of this study, obtained in the fourth quarter of 2013, we adjusted our reserve $47.0 million for this location. We expect the remedial investigation to be finalized in 2014 and the feasibility study in 2015, and we continue to pursue available insurance coverage.
On March 13, 2013, PolyOne acquired Spartech. One of Spartech's subsidiaries, Franklin-Burlington Plastics, Inc. (Franklin-Burlington), operated a plastic resin compounding facility in Kearny, New Jersey, located adjacent to the lower Passaic River. The USEPA has requested that companies located in the area of the lower Passaic River, including Franklin-Burlington, cooperate in an investigation of contamination of the lower Passaic River. In response, Franklin-Burlington and approximately 70 other companies (collectively, the Cooperating Parties) agreed, pursuant to an Administrative Order of Consent with the USEPA, to assume responsibility for development of a RIFS of the lower Passaic River. The RIFS costs are exclusive of any costs that may ultimately be required to remediate the lower Passaic River area being studied or costs associated with natural resource damages that may be assessed. By agreeing to bear a portion of the cost of the RIFS, Franklin-Burlington did not admit to or agree to bear any such remediation or natural resource damage costs. In April 2014, the USEPA released a Focused Feasibility Study for public comment for a portion of the Lower Passaic River. The Cooperating Parties, along with other interested parties, have submitted comments, and the USEPA is currently reviewing the comments.
Given the uncertainties related to the lower Passaic River, including the fact that the final remedial actions and scope, and the ultimate allocation to Franklin-Burlington, have not yet been determined, we are not able to assess or estimate our remedial liability, if any, related to this matter.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, PolyOne recognized $7.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of expense related to environmental activities at our active and inactive sites. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 we received $1.6 million and $20.1 million, respectively, of insurance recoveries related to previously incurred environmental costs. These expenses and gains associated with these reimbursements are included within Cost of sales within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Based on estimates that were prepared by our environmental engineers and consultants, our reserve balance was $121.7 million at September 30, 2014 and $125.9 million at December 31, 2013, for probable future environmental expenditures related to previously contaminated sites. The accruals represent our best estimate of the remaining probable remediation costs, based upon information and technology that is currently available and our view of the most likely remedy. Depending upon the results of future testing, the ultimate remediation alternatives undertaken, changes in regulations, new information, newly discovered conditions and other factors, it is reasonably possible that we could incur additional costs in excess of the amount accrued at September 30, 2014. However, such additional costs, if any, cannot presently be estimated.
Guarantee — On February 28, 2011, we sold our 50% equity interest in SunBelt Chlor Alkali Partnership (SunBelt) to Olin Corporation (Olin) for $132.3 million in cash and the assumption by Olin of the obligations under our guarantee of senior secured notes issued by SunBelt. The remaining guarantee is $24.4 million as of September 30, 2014. Unless the guarantee is formally assigned to Olin, we remain obligated under the guarantee, although Olin has agreed to indemnify us for amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the guarantee.
Note 14 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
When translating results from foreign operations into U.S. dollars, we are subject to foreign exchange related risks in our operating results. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from intercompany lending transactions denominated in various foreign currencies that are subject to foreign exchange rate movement over the term of the loans. To mitigate these risks, we enter into forward contracts. The counterparties to these instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. PolyOne maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit ratings of these institutions.
Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These instruments are not designated as a hedge, and therefore, any gain or loss is immediately recognized in income.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

On March 13, 2013, PolyOne acquired Spartech Corporation (Spartech), a supplier of sustainable plastic sheet, color and engineered materials, and packaging solutions, based in Clayton, Missouri. The Spartech acquisition expands PolyOne's specialty portfolio with adjacent technologies in attractive end markets where we already participate, as well as new end markets such as aerospace and security. By combining Spartech's leading market positions in sheet, rigid barrier packaging and specialty cast acrylics with PolyOne's capabilities, we believe we can better serve our customers and accelerate growth. Spartech's former Custom Sheet and Rollstock and Packaging Technology businesses are reported within Designed Structures and Solutions, and the remaining Spartech businesses are split among PolyOne's Global Color, Additives and Inks, Global Specialty Engineered Materials and Performance Products and Solutions segments.
On May 30, 2013, PolyOne sold its vinyl dispersion, blending and suspension resin assets (Resin Business) to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc. (Mexichem), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mexichem, S.A.B. de C.V., for $250.0 million cash consideration. This sale resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $223.7 million ($139.7 million, net of tax) that was primarily recognized during the second quarter of 2013. The results of operations of this business are reflected as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods prior to disposition.

Sales
Sales decreased $50.5 million, or 5.0%, in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily as the Company has taken actions to shift the former Spartech portfolio to higher margin specialty applications. Specifically, these mix improvement actions resulted in a 4.7% decline in sales. Weaker demand conditions in Europe along with the exit of certain product lines in Brazil negatively impacted sales by approximately 1.0%. These decreases were partially offset by growth in North America and targeted end markets such as transportation.
Sales increased $118.6 million, or 4.2%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 driven by a 3.3% increase due to the acquisition of Spartech and a 1.5% increase in targeted end markets primarily in North America. These increases were partially offset by softening demand in Brazil and the wire and cable end market.
Cost of sales
As a percent of sales, cost of sales decreased from 82.0% in the third quarter of 2013 to 80.9% in the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to improved mix in our specialty segments, synergies achieved related to the Spartech acquisition and cost reductions related to the North American realignment actions. As a percent of sales, cost of sales increased from 80.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 81.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to a $36.1 million increase in restructuring charges recognized during the nine months ended
September 30, 2014. Further, the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included insurance recoveries of $20.1 million related to previously incurred environmental liabilities, which lowered 2013 cost of goods sold. These items, which unfavorably impact 2014 in comparison to 2013, were slightly offset by improved mix and price in 2014.
Selling and administrative expense
These costs include selling, technology, administrative functions, corporate and general expenses. The decrease in selling and administrative expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 2013 was driven primarily by the benefits received from recent restructuring actions, which lowered ongoing selling and administrative expense, combined with lower incentive expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014. These items more than offset the impact of a commercial litigation gain of $7.0 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2013, which lowered selling and administrative expense in 2013. The increase in selling and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 2013 of $21.3 million was driven primarily by the acquisition of Spartech and increased restructuring charges of $11.1 million.
Interest expense, net
Net interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily a result of lower average debt balances in 2014 compared to 2013 due to the repurchase of $43.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.375% senior notes due 2020 and $1.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.50% debentures due 2015.
Debt extinguishment costs
Debt extinguishment costs of $5.2 million were recognized during the third quarter of 2013 related to the repurchase of $43.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.375% senior notes due 2020 and $1.3 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.50% debentures due 2015. Debt extinguishment costs of $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, includes $10.6 million related to the repayment, in the first quarter, of the outstanding principal amount of $297.0 million under our senior secured term loan.
Income tax expense from continuing operations
Income tax expense from continuing operations was $14.1 million, an effective rate of 30.4%, for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $15.8 million, an effective rate of 40.7%, for the third quarter of 2013. The lower effective rate for the third quarter of 2014 was driven primarily by a $5.1 million tax benefit associated with our investments in certain foreign affiliates.
Income tax expense from continuing operations was $27.4 million, an effective rate of 22.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $45.1 million, an effective rate of 38.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The lower effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was driven by a $10.5 million tax benefit associated with our investments in certain foreign affiliates in addition to favorable settlements with U.S. and foreign tax authorities of $4.0 million that were recognized in the first quarter of 2014.
Discontinued operations, net of income taxes
On May 30, 2013, PolyOne sold its Resin Business to Mexichem for $250.0 million cash consideration, which resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $223.7 million ($139.7 million net of tax), primarily recognized in the second quarter of 2013.

Global Color, Additives and Inks
Sales decreased $7.0 million, or 3.2%, in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to a 2.2% decline as a result of exiting certain products acquired from Spartech. Additionally, sales were negatively impacted by weaker demand conditions in Europe.
Sales increased $6.6 million, or 1.0%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Sales increased 0.7% due to the inclusion of Spartech results for the full nine months of 2014 and 0.6% due to increased sales in Europe that were experienced in the first half of 2014. These increases were slightly offset by lower sales in Brazil.
Operating income increased $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 as gains in North America were partially offset by weaker demand conditions in Europe. Operating income increased
$14.2 million for the nine months ended 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This was driven by strong growth in Europe in the first half of the year and year to date margin expansion in North America and Asia.
Global Specialty Engineered Materials
Sales decreased $11.8 million, or 7.5%, in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013 driven primarily by exiting certain product lines in Brazil, 3.6%, and softening demand in Europe, 2.2%.
