STATION ANTENNA PHASE SHIFTS
Faster Design Qualification & Shorter Lead
Times – Avient can custom formulate materials
to specific Dk values, sample within one week,
and deliver on production quantities within two
to three weeks.
Low Dissipation Factor (Df) Material – Our
solutions use a base formulation that has a Df
value of less than 0.002.
Good Dimensional Stability – Our solutions are
formulated to meet dimensional tolerances within
+/- 0.2mm.

CLEVELAND – February 9, 2021 – Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), a leading provider of
specialized and sustainable material solutions, today reported its full year and fourth quarter
results for 2020.
Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking
statements include the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our business, results from
operations, financial condition and liquidity; our ability to achieve the strategic and other
objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Masterbatch business, including any expected
synergies; 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; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations
regarding plastics 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; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends including at
the increased rate; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to
achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from
initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, costs reductions
and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; 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)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and 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.
