GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable.
The composite material is 25% the weight of comparable steel structures and also weights significantly less than concrete, making them easily deployable in the field.
With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.”

The non-GAAP financial measures
include: adjusted EPS, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, net debt, Specialty platform operating
income, Specialty platform gross margin percentage, adjusted operating income,
return on invested capital, net debt/ EBITDA, and the exclusion of corporate
charges in certain calculations.
In certain cases throughout this presentation, we
have presented GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures adjusted to reflect full-
year 2012 Pro forma results, including Spartech and Glasforms and excluding
discontinued operations
