The non-GAAP financial measures include Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Avient does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because Avient is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate
calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.
