Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • 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 limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues; • Changes in 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 achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM); • An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • 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; and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions 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, Adjusted Earnings Per Share 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.

Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation.
Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties.
They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed.

Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer,” said James Stephenson, director, Global Marketing, Geon Performance Materials.
This creates a truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl that performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing petroleum-based plasticizers.
Caption: Geon™ BIO Flexible Solutions are formulated with reFlex™ 300 plasticizer, derived from soybean oil and certified as 99 percent biobased by the USDA BioPreferred® Program.

Tested in accordance with JIS Z2801 and ASTM G21-15 standards, these additives protect molded plastic parts by inhibiting bacterial growth (99.9 percent or more) and resisting fungal and mold growth.
In addition to potentially causing odor issues, these microrganisms can cause detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to a finished plastic part.
Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
