A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted on our website at www.avient.com. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of Avient’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. To provide comparable financial results, the Company references “pro forma” financial metrics, which include the business results of CMB for periods prior to the Acquisition Date. WHAT WE DO: MATERIAL SCIENCE 4 CUSTOM FORMULATION We sell solutions not commodities.

This is the case for Avient as well, but what further differentiates us, is that in 2020 our EPS also grew 11% vs. 2019. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
