Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented
in accordance with U.S.
Senior management uses adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS, and working capital 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.

EXCELITE VS POWDER
• Enables a greater level of density control, through
consistent distribution in the polymer
• Simplifies and optimizes resin compounding
capabilities (PVC dry blends)
• Enables greater control over foaming and expands
processing window when re-introducing regrind
• Clean and highly accurate dosing process, with
fewer of the health and safety concerns that can
become apparent with powder CFAs
EXCELITE VS PELLET
• Being significantly more concentrated, Excelite additive enables lower total cost to foam
• Can achieve lower density, less carrier influence
• Finer and tighter cell structure through better additive distribution
• Improved linear consistency of cell structure as ColorMatrix pumps continually meter output,
giving greater stability over material dosing
• Improved plant working capital as lower let down ratios means less material is consumed and
reduces inventory holdings
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
• Avient has a market leading service team which understands
foaming processes, we assist customers to deliver performance
and production efficiencies with Excelite™ technology
• Please contact your local Avient representative for additional
information on our line of foaming additives
