Avient Acquisition of DSM Protective Materials – 4/20/2022
Q1 2022 Avient Corporation Conference Call and Acquisition of DSM Protective Materials (Dyneema)
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-11/AVNT Q3 2023 Earnings Press Release.pdf
Examples include:
• Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and
protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and
sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled
content to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and
wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon
footprint
• Sustainable infrastructure solutions that increase energy efficiency, renewable energy,
natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic
Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in
the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and
the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency
fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in laws and
regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; fluctuations in raw
material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or
material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation
and environmental matters; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully
integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials; an inability to raise or sustain
prices for products or services; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, including at
the increased rate, and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems
failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring
plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated
with the underlying actions; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control,
including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates,
changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions.

Pro Forma Financial Information
The Company acquired Avient Protective Materials (“Dyneema”) on September 1, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”) and sold the Distribution segment on November 1, 2022.
To provide comparable results, the company references “pro forma” financial
metrics, which include the business results of Avient Protective Materials for periods prior to the Acquisition Date, as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2021 and reflect Distribution as a discontinued operation.
