The cost synergies from the Clariant Masterbatch acquisition will help drive
substantial margin expansion.
But more significantly, 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 long-term revenue growth in excess of GDP
o Our differentiated technology, service and global reach are competitive advantages
o Our asset-light and high-touch business model yields stable and high free cash flow conversion
o Clariant Masterbatch cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends and buying back shares, all while
remaining modestly levered.
