This enables us to evaluate how different materials perform and to establish best practice processing parameters. Material Data Sets • A number of material characterization data sets are available in .udb, moldex 3D, xChange data cards, and SIPOE format Mold Filling Simulation (see examples below) • Serves to validate part design (e.g., gate location, fill/pack/warp/cool) & material solution • Evaluates component design viability with preferred Avient material solution • Fiber analysis determines fiber orientation and length • Predicts part quality and manufacturability (shrink, warp, weld line location) FILLING PART QUALITYFIBER ORIENTATION Finite Element Analysis (FEA) • Virtually simulates how an application will perform in real-world conditions with a high level of precision • Able to represent a variety of problems, test methods, models and outputs to evaluate the design, process and material combination for validation or optimization • Dynamic - Acceleration - Impact - Break/no break - Transmitted force - Energy absorption • Thermal Mechanical - Temperature Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) - Heat path - Dominant heat transfer - Temperature mapping - Coupling with mechanical simulations FEA Simulation Capabilities • Static - Displacement/rotations - Stress and strains - Contact pressure - Reaction forces/moments - Factors of safety • Vibration - Eigen frequencies - Harmonic response ○ Harmonic displacement, acceleration and stress Software Used • Autodesk Moldflow • Digimat • Simulia/Abaqus • MSC Cradle • CAD/CAE - MSC Apex - SolidWorks Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) Support By leveraging mold filling simulation, multiphysics simulation, and the understanding of the link between design, process and material, we can help inform your decision-making process for product development.

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. Senior management also uses operating income before special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance.
