Further, as a result of Avient's strategic shift to an innovator
of materials solutions, it has completed several acquisitions and divestitures which have resulted in a significant amount of
intangible asset amortization.
Management excludes intangible asset amortization from adjusted EPS as it believes excluding
acquired intangible asset amortization is a useful measure of current period earnings per share.
2) Tax adjustments include the net tax impact from non-recurring income tax items and certain adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves
and valuation allowances.

Long-lived
assets of our foreign operations represented 36% in 2012, 35% in 2011 and 36% in 2010 of our total
long-lived assets.
We measure the
recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the

Our pension asset investment strategy is to diversify the asset portfolio among and within asset
categories to enhance the portfolio’s risk-adjusted return.

We measure the recoverability of assets to be held and used by
a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected future undiscounted cash flows associated with
the asset.

Further, as a result of Avient's portfolio shift to a pure play specialty
formulator, it has completed several acquisitions and divestitures which have resulted in a significant amount of intangible asset
amortization.
Management excludes intangible asset amortization from adjusted EPS as it believes excluding acquired intangible
asset amortization is a useful measure of current period earnings per share.
2) Tax adjustments include the net tax impact from non-recurring income tax items, adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves and changes
to valuation allowances.
