•Second quarter sales grew to $1.3 billion, a 5% increase over the prior year quarter, and an all-time quarterly record
•GAAP EPS increased 24% to $0.92 compared to $0.74 in the prior year quarter
•Adjusted EPS increased 13% to $0.98 compared to $0.87 in the prior year quarter, exceeding second quarter guidance of $0.92. Results driven by better than expected results in the Americas, more than offsetting extended COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai

•Most recent Sustainability Report published, highlighting the company’s progress on ESG initiatives focused on People, Products, Planet and Performance
CLEVELAND – July 26, 2022 – Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), a leading provider of specialized and sustainable solutions, today announced its second quarter 2022 results. The company delivered second quarter GAAP EPS of $0.92 compared to $0.74 in the prior year quarter. The company noted that GAAP EPS includes special items (Attachment 3), which impacted EPS in both periods.
“Overall, we are pleased with our performance as we have been able to overcome a number of continuing challenges including inflation, supply chain disruptions, extended lockdowns in China and the war in Ukraine,” said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Avient Corporation. “Second quarter sales increased 5% over the prior year quarter to $1.3 billion, and adjusted EPS increased 13% (20% excluding negative foreign exchange) to $0.98.”
Mr. Patterson added, “We have been on a multi-year journey to transform our portfolio and become a premier formulator of specialty and sustainable solutions. Our recent performance demonstrates the resiliency of our portfolio during challenging times.”
As a continuation of its specialty transformation, the company announced in April it had entered into an agreement to acquire the DSM Protective Materials business (including the Dyneema® brand) (“Dyneema”) and that it is exploring the sale of its Distribution business.

In this regard Mr. Patterson added, “We remain on track with our timeline for the acquisition and expect to close in September, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. In addition, we embarked on a formal process to explore the sale of our Distribution business and are encouraged by the level of interest we have received from several potential buyers.”
Without giving effect to any impacts from the pending acquisition of Dyneema and potential sale of Avient Distribution, the company provided third quarter adjusted EPS guidance of $0.80, a 14% increase from the prior year quarter, and maintained its full year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.50. “We expect demand in Asia to improve from the prior quarter and growth to continue in the Americas, offsetting softening conditions in Europe and weaker foreign exchange,” said Jamie A. Beggs, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Avient Corporation.
The company also announced that it has issued its latest Sustainability Report, available at www.avient.com/sustainability. The comprehensive online publication highlights progress made toward Avient’s 2030 Sustainability Goals, along with other news and information on ESG matters. “Every day we are making positive impacts across the sustainability spectrum, particularly with our growing portfolio of sustainable solutions for customers,” said Mr. Patterson. “Our sustainability report offers a transparent look into where we are focused, how we are leading and what this ultimately means for our many stakeholders, as well as our planet.”
Avient will be hosting a webcast on Tuesday, July 26, 2022 to discuss second quarter results and provide more details about the Dyneema acquisition and potential sale of its Distribution business.

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 and free cash flow. Avient's chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures 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 outlook for adjusted earnings per share, 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.

Avient Corporation
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.
