2021 PROJECTIONS
PEER COMPARISONS
24
As a specialty formulator, we don’t
require significant capital
investment, as compared to the
base resin raw material suppliers
we purchase from.
We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of
which are unique to Avient:
o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant
Masterbatch revenue synergies, that will drive 2021 revenue growth of 8% and long-term growth
in excess of GDP
o Clariant Masterbatch cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and
opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.
