Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders
and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special
items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to
Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results
due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted

WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/news/polyone-color-inspirations-2020-brings-visionary-concepts-focus
Colors in this palette reflect heightened natural hues found in nature.
Fluide focuses on the preference to express oneself freely, exploring the ever-evolving nature of a digital culture that supports shifting personas, beliefs, and ways of being as they move about freely online.
https://www.avient.com/news/avient-launches-additional-resound-bio-based-tpes-formulated-renewable-plant-derived-content
These reSound BIO TPEs have an opaque natural color and offer excellent colorability, just like prime TPEs.
This tone allows the materials to showcase a natural aesthetic or be colored to match design specifications with traditional TPE colorants or sustainable color options from Avient.
Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy, natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
https://www.avient.com/news/avient-launches-new-bio-filled-polymer-grades-fakuma-2021
The new materials have a pleasing aesthetic compared to alternative natural fiber-filled polymer grades, are fully colorable, and can be formulated to meet various regulatory compliance standards, making them suitable for consumer applications such as household items and personal care products.
Looking to differentiate in the market and meet the desires of consumers, Difaş worked with Avient to develop a solution for toothbrush handles, combs, and hairbrush handles that utilizes natural filler while also offering high-end colorability and durability.
