I'm more proud that we have been able to overcome these additional costs to increase adjusted EPS, while serving our customers and keeping our employees healthy and safe.” 2 The company cited robust demand across all end markets, particularly in consumer applications (up 67%) as revenue increased 42% to $1.235 billion. The company also noted that on July 1, 2021 it acquired Magna Colours Ltd., a market leader in sustainable, water-based inks technology for the textile screen printing industry.

Adjusted EPS on a consolidated basis was impacted by raw material inflation, which compressed margins and partially offset our sales gains, most notably in our Specialty Engineered Materials segment.  Special items include charges related to specific strategic initiatives or financial restructuring such as: consolidation of operations; debt extinguishment costs; costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions or divestitures; employee separation costs resulting from personnel reduction programs, plant realignment costs, executive separation agreements; asset impairments; mark-to-market adjustments associated with actuarial gains and losses on pension and other post-retirement benefit plans; environmental remediation costs, fines, penalties and related insurance recoveries related to facilities no longer owned or closed in prior years; gains and losses on the divestiture of operating businesses, joint ventures and equity investments; gains and losses on facility or property sales or disposals; results of litigation, fines or penalties, where such litigation (or action relating to the fines or penalties) arose prior to the commencement of the performance period; one-time, non-recurring items; and the effect of changes in accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results. Gain from the sale of closed facilities

Avient’s performance in this environment has been differentiated as a result of our specialty focus, end market transformation and excellence in execution.” Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include 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; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and 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 pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and 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.

This increase is largely due to a $3.3 million mark-to-market loss in 2017 as compared to an $8.4 million mark-to-market gain in 2016. We immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in our operating results in the year in which the gains or losses occur. Gains and losses on these contracts generally offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged.

But we understand their importance, and how vital it is to produce them well, in ways that will enhance your consumers’ experience and gain their loyalty.   Material solutions in textiles as original as the market.
