Avient joined the Alliance to End Plastic Waste as a founding member and is collaborating with over 65 member companies to promote infrastructure, education and
engagement, innovation, and clean up effrots to keep plastic waste in the right place
We are a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).
AEPW's mission is to develop, accelerate, and deploy solutions, catalyze public and private investment,
and engage communities to help end plastic waste in the environment.

Accounting for 25% or more of observed failures in
the field, it is believed that ESC is the leading cause
of plastic component failure.3 To better understand
the environmental contribution of stress cracking,
it is helpful to examine stress cracking in air (creep).
The materials
were evaluated for environmental stress cracking
resistance (ESCR) using an adaptation to ASTM D543
“Standard Practices for Evaluating the Resistance
of Plastics to Chemical Reagents.”
Plastics Engineering 2015, 71 (10), 30–36.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;
• The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies, retain
relationships with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions, including whether such
businesses will be accretive to our earnings;
• 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;
• Our ability to achieve new business gains;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions where we
conduct business;
• Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
• 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;
• An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to
working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks;
• Our ability to continue to pay regular cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; and
• Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in
interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess performance and allocate resources
because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies
This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers
has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit
bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist
fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts.
Developed for the preservation of high-touch
surfaces and applications, these formulations
contain antimicrobial additives that continuously
inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds
that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and
mechanical property changes to the finished plastic
part.
