Working Capital as a Percentage of Sales. Working Capital as a Percentage of Sales is calculated by taking the average 13 months of business segment or total Company working capital divided by the sum of 12 months of 2016 business segment sales or total Company sales (where applicable), where working capital equals (1) trade accounts receivable (2) plus inventory (3) minus trade accounts payable. Progress against the Working Capital as a Percentage of Sales metric is reflected by lower levels of working capital, so results that are less than target are viewed as exceeding target performance.

Working capital as a percentage of sales was 10.9%, the lowest in company history. A Great Place to Work® To gauge how associates at Avient feel about our culture, we conduct employee engagement surveys. We implemented remote, alternate and flexible work arrangements where possible, including implementing split shifts at facilities and remote work options for non-essential on-site functions, enhanced cleaning and sanitary procedures, implemented domestic and international travel restrictions, implemented return to work and visitor screening protocols, and postponed or canceled hosting or attending large events.
