https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-06/EZR Gun Grip Case Study.pdf
Aftermarket gun grips made with
materials such as silicone, rubber, or tape can typically
leave residue on a shooter’s hand.
These materials
can also deteriorate with ultraviolet (UV) and chemical
exposure from sunlight and cleaning.
Each tote holds a low-impact, disposable bladder
containing five drums worth of material.

As such, Avient Distribution does not
manufacture any raw materials, participate in any material
compounding nor mold any parts or final products.
Does Avient have a process for handling
hazardous materials?
Yes
How are incoming raw materials controlled for
quality?

COAs are requested for all Raw
Materials.
These materials appear on the "core raw
materials list."
At the same time, the raw
materials that are contained in the Bill of
Materials (BOM) are also extended to the plant
to enable the plant to purchase the materials.

Demand (34) • Demand was down, but less than in previous
quarters, due to slowing pace of destocking
• Positive net price benefit:
o CAI – Pricing flat with favorable mix from
uptick in packaging and consumer end
markets and raw material deflation
o SEM - Pricing flat with favorable mix from
Composites and raw material deflation
• Cost reductions primarily driven by reduced
administrative costs and cost synergies

• Significant raw material price inflation and
tight inventory continued in Q2 2022,
although at a slightly lesser rate compared
to the prior quarter
o For Q2 2022, the average cost of key
hydrocarbon based materials was up 15%,
roughly the same as the average cost of non-
hydrocarbon based materials
Continued supply chain challenges
persisted during Q2 related to raw
material spot purchases, freight
constraints and productivity loss as a
result of these shortages.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders
and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special
items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
Further, as a result of Avient's strategic shift to an innovator
of materials solutions, it has completed several acquisitions and divestitures which have resulted in a significant amount of
intangible asset amortization.
