•$750 million of after-tax proceeds from the sale of Distribution used to redeem all Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2023 and pay down a portion of term loan debt
•GAAP EPS from continuing operations of ($0.30) includes special items of ($0.75) primarily associated with acquisition-related costs and an adjustment to environmental reserves
•Adjusted EPS excluding intangible amortization of $0.59 is in line with the company’s guidance of $0.58 provided on September 27th
•Revised full year adjusted EPS guidance to $2.60 primarily as a result of recently announced COVID lockdowns
CLEVELAND – November 2, 2022 – Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), a leading provider of specialized and sustainable solutions, today announced its third quarter 2022 results. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were ($0.30) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $0.37 in the prior year quarter.
The company noted that GAAP EPS includes special items (Attachment 3). Special items for the third quarter of 2022 had an ($0.75) impact on EPS and included acquisition-related costs that primarily consist of financing commitment fees, inventory step-up adjustments and settlement of foreign currency contracts used to hedge a portion of the DSM Protective Materials (now Avient Protective Materials or APM) acquisition purchase price.
Adjusted EPS excluding intangible amortization for the third quarter of $0.59 was slightly below prior year of $0.61.
“As we announced in our September 27th release, we are experiencing weaker global demand conditions precipitated by the war in Ukraine, recession fears, higher energy costs and inflation,” said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Avient Corporation. “These factors are also causing customer inventory destocking across nearly every industry, further reducing orders from customers." Mr. Patterson added, "Our updated guidance of $2.60 incorporates additional weakness associated with the recently announced COVID lockdowns in China."

“Given the challenging conditions we are facing, I’m incredibly proud of everything we have accomplished in the last few months,” Mr. Patterson added. “We completed the acquisition of APM and the sale of our Distribution business, and are using the net proceeds to pay down near-term maturing debt as previously announced.”
“We have not wavered from our strategy of becoming a specialty formulator. Over the last few years, we have overhauled our portfolio by divesting more cyclical, less specialized businesses and made significant investments in innovation, composites and sustainable solutions,” Mr. Patterson continued. “These moves serve us well in the near term as we navigate current macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty and in the future as we are very well positioned to benefit from longer term demand trends for sustainable solutions.”
The company noted net proceeds from the Distribution sale are being used to retire its $600 million 2023 Senior Unsecured Notes and pay down $150 million of its term loan debt as shown below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA. Avient's chief operating decision maker uses this financial measure to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and each business segment and to allocate resources.
The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EPS, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income attributable to Avient shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results. Senior management believes these measures 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and 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. 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. Senior management believes these measures 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.
