Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to:
• Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;
• The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired
companies, retain relationships with customers of acquired companies, and achieve the expected results of such acquisitions,
including whether such businesses will be accretive to our earnings;
• Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged
and the availability and cost of credit in the future;
• Our ability to achieve new business gains;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic in jurisdictions
where we conduct business;
• Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online;
• Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs
associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
• Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
• An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives
related to working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
• Information systems failures and cyber attacks;
• Our ability to continue to pay regular cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; and
• Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy,
changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to PolyOne common shareholders, adjusted earnings per share (EPS)
attributable to PolyOne common shareholders and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to assess performance and allocate resources
because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-07/AVNT Q2 2023 Earnings Presentation%5B70%5D.pdf
When showing constant dollar figures on GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, the foreign exchange impact is calculated by using current foreign exchange rates and applying them to the prior period results.
Unless otherwise stated, Adjusted EBITDA figures included in this presentation exclude the impact of special items as defined in our quarterly earnings releases.
We also monitor earnings (defined as net income from continuing operations) before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA before the impact of special items) as a supplement to our GAAP
measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures include: Organic Performance (which excludes the impact of foreign exchange), Adjusted
Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margins, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Pultruded composites are a type of high-performance, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite material that are manufactured using a continuous process called pultrusion.
High strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio: Pultruded composites are strong and stiff, yet they are also lightweight.
However, if you need a composite material with high transverse strength or a complex geometry, then you may need to consider other options.

It’s challenging to produce interior automotive parts that are both cost effective and able to meet high consumer expectations for quality.
Our TPEs combine high quality, high productivity, and low production cost to meet your needs, whether you’re an OEM or a supplier.
A high productivity manufacturing process that drives low per-part cost is crucial for dealing with cost pressures.
