Results of Operations and Financial Condition On March 14, 2016, Myers Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing revised financial results for its fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. This press release revises financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, contained in the Company’s press release dated February 25, 2016, as previously furnished on Form 8-K. The revision as compared to the Company’s earnings release issued February 25, 2016 is an adjustment to its results from discontinued operations. This adjustment is due to a final decision the Company received on March 9, 2016 related to disputed post-closing working capital adjustments in conjunction with the sale of its Lawn & Garden business, which closed on February 17, 2015. The adjustment led to an increase in income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, of $0.6 million. There are no changes to results from continuing operations. Therefore, net income also increased by $0.6 million for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2015. Previously reported results for prior periods were not affected by the adjustment. The Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 are included in its Form 10-K, filed today with the SEC. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information in this report (including the exhibit) is furnished pursuant to “Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, unless incorporated by specific reference in such filing.
