Avient Corporation
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
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.
In addition, operating income before the effect of
special items is a component of Avient's annual incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations.
