Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine
and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and
wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of
materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a
founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include
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; the effect
on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory
risks; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results
of operations, financial position or cash flows; our ability to achieve the strategic and other
objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including any expected
synergies; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding
plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; 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 the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration
working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; our ability to pay
regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information
systems failures and cyberattacks; our ability to consummate and successfully integrate
acquisitions; and amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may
differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying
actions.
