In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations.

The components can also be formulated using chemical- and impact-resistant materials while providing a low coefficient of friction (COF) for improved accuracy, reliable sealing, and ease of use. Learn more about how Avient's medical-grade polymers, colorants and additives can enhance effectiveness and safety. Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. 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. The presentation of these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
