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

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.
Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to
Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results
due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the median of other
selected chemical / specialty
companies.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.

Total Enterprise Value / 2021E EBITDA
Our current valuation with updated
guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the majority of our
chemical peers.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
