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.
https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/injection-molding-mold-processing
Certain specialty products, such as some Versaflex™, Versollan™, and Versollan™ grades, are hygroscopic, thus they need to be dried prior to molding.

Included in
net income for 2011 is a $29.5 million tax benefit related to our investment in O’Sullivan Engineered Films and a
$13.0 million tax benefit primarily related with the reversal of valuation allowances
In 2011, we recognized income tax expense primarily related to the sale of our SunBelt joint venture
offset by a tax benefit associated with our divested investment in O’Sullivan Engineered Films, Inc. of
$29.5 million.
