We delivered year-over-year earnings growth, much of which came from margin improvement in Europe and prudent cost control by our teams. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation costs, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs. These costs are included in Corporate and eliminations.

Special items for the fourth quarter of 2022 had a $(0.42) impact on EPS and included acquisition-related costs that primarily consist of inventory step-up adjustments, restructuring costs, debt extinguishment costs, and a pension market-to-market adjustment. 2 On a pro forma basis, fourth quarter and full year adjusted EPS were $0.42 and $3.04, respectively, which excludes special items and intangible amortization expense, exceeding previous guidance of $0.33 and $2.95. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs. These costs are included in Corporate and eliminations.

THE SOLUTION Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent mechanical properties and cost benefits. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate. The new seat securement part has already been adopted by one OEM customer, and we are confident that other manufacturers will come to us for this lightweight, cost-efficient solution.”

It was important that the new connector provide signal dampening within an established range as specified by the customer without exceeding the established cost targets. In addition, they are costly to manufacture, which makes them economically unfeasible for use in low-cost computers. Avient’s willingness to invest the time and resources needed to ensure success enabled the manufacturer to develop a cost-effective, well-per forming product for its customer.
