METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Challe nge Accepted. Spurred by the need for high strength and low weight, Avient quickly identified a Complēt™ long glass fiber nylon composite as a best-fit solution. Complēt long fiber composite not only met structural performance (strength), toughness and corrosion resistance requirements, it reduced part weight by nearly 40%.

Advanced Mobility Composite Structures Meet the requirements for safety, reliability, and multi-functionality for use in different disciplines ranging from microbiology, histology, and cytology to clinical chemistry.

Examples of industrial fabric applications include ballistic fabric, narrow fabric, fall protection, lacing tape, protective sleeving, recreational composites, and carbon hybrid fabrics.   Achieve vibrant colors for safety, identification and aesthetics

Compared to our prior adjusted EPS expectations, raw material deflation as well as improving mix from composites and sustainable solutions positively impacted the quarter and more than offset weaker demand conditions.” 2 “Sequentially, we’ve seen modest improvement in Asia, but demand across other regions remains sluggish, particularly in Europe, as consumers remain cautious with continued inflation and rising interest rates,” Mr. We have remained consistent in our view all year that to the extent demand conditions weakened further, we would be able to offset that with strength in composites, improving margins and cost reductions.” Rose Vice President, Marketing and Communications Avient Corporation +1 440-930-3162 kyle.rose@avient.com mailto:giuseppe.disalvo@avient.com mailto:kyle.rose@avient.com 7 Attachment 1 Avient Corporation Summary of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Unaudited) (In millions, except per share data) Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Sales $ 824.4 $ 891.0 $ 1,670.1 $ 1,783.2 Operating Income 62.3 100.1 119.4 202.3 Net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders 22.1 62.8 42.9 127.2 Basic earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders $ 0.24 $ 0.69 $ 0.47 $ 1.39 Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders $ 0.24 $ 0.68 $ 0.47 $ 1.38 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.

For the full year, adjusted EPS increased 58% to $3.05 driven by demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare applications and composites technologies.” In December, we completed our annual employee engagement survey and received our 3rd consecutive Great Place to Work® certification from the Great Place to Work Institute.” 3 2022 Outlook “As we discussed during our Investor Day in December, we have momentum in growing sustainable solutions, solving healthcare challenges and broadening advanced composite applications,” said Jamie A.

Protexcoat™ UV Resistant Swellcoat™ Blocker Water Blocking Swellcoat™ Water Absorbing Wearcoat™ High Abrasion Blockcoat™ Anti-Wicking Repelcoat™ Water Repellant Flamecoat™ Flame Resistant FEATURES • Created for applications where an untreated fiber does not have the ability to provide the appropriate amount of bonding characteristics to another material • Provides adhesion to another fiber or substrate without impacting other performance properties • Improves adhesion of the fiber to the resin matrix it is introduced into • Enables industry standard “burst” tests or stringent delamination analysis • Designed to achieve vibrant colors for safety, identification, and aesthetics • Specialized formulas and binders adhere the pigment to the exterior of the individual filaments, while impregnating deep into the fiber bundle • Available by Pantone or RAL number • Compatible with a variety of composite resins including epoxy, polyurethane, and polyethylene • Stronger than solution-dyed fibers • Designed to add lubricity and temperature resistance at the filament level for braided compression packing • Coating at the fiber level versus the finished braid achieves higher
