Avient does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, 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.
Senior management also uses operating income before
special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are
useful in understanding current profitability levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
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.

KEY CUSTOMER CHALLENGES:
• Preserving Key Natural Resources - Companies are being challenged to
mitigate high environmental impact processes such as water-intensive textile dyeing or
food spoilage
• Incorporating Renewable Materials - Adoption of bio-based raw materials
requires design and formulation expertise to overcome performance shortcomings of
neat resins
• Increasing Healthcare Regulations - Utilizing sustainable materials in
healthcare applications requires considerable support in navigating complex regulatory
requirements
• Increasing Regulatory Compliance - Non-Intentionally Added Substances
(NIAS) need to be controlled in sensitive applications
• Enabling Faster and More Reliable Connectivity – Substantial investments
in 5G infrastructure are required to unlock the potential of the Internet of Things

Unlike
traditional scavengers, it does not cause discoloration
or yellowing of the bottle, helping to maintain the
quality of the recycle stream.
Data shows
Capture does not affect the polyolefin stream even
when it consists of 100% Capture closures.
They help remove
oxygen or prevent oxygen ingress that can affect
bottle contents and lead to discoloration, off-flavor
or vitamin claim reduction.
