• This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting
principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
In certain cases throughout this presentation, we
have presented GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures adjusted to reflect full-
year 2012 Pro forma results, including Spartech and Glasforms and excluding
discontinued operations
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is
posted on our website at www.polyone.com.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-03/AVNT Mar 2023 Earnings Presentation.pdf
The non-GAAP financial measures include: Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted
EBITDA.
A reconciliation of each historical non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is attached to this presentation which is posted on our website at www.avient.com.
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.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-02/AVNT Q4 2022 Earnings Presentation.pdf
The non-GAAP financial measures include: Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted
EBITDA.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses
in evaluating operating performance.
The presentation of these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures include: adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, free cash flow and
adjusted EBITDA.
The presentation of these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures include: adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, free
cash flow and adjusted EBITDA.
The presentation of these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP
financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures include estimated 2022 Dyneema
business and Composites Platform pro forma EBITDA.
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.

STARTUP & SHUTDOWN RECOMMENDATIONS
Purge Compound 2–3 melt flow PP or purging compound.
Incomplete Fill
Melt and/or mold
temperature too cold
• Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures
• Check thermocouples and heater bands
Shot size
• Increase shot size
• Adjust transfer position to 98% full
• Increase cushion
• Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents
• Check that vents are unplugged
• Check that gates are unplugged
• Enlarge gates and/or runners
• Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify
proper vent location
• Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line
Brittleness
Degraded/overheated
material
• Decrease melt temperature
• Decrease back pressure
• Use smaller barrel
Gate location
and/or size
• Relocate gate to non-stress area
• Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower
molded-in stress
Wet material
• Check moisture.
Sink Marks
Melt too hot
Insufficient
material volume
• Increase shot size
• Increase packing pressure
Part geometry
too thick
• Reduce wall thickness
• Reduce rib thickness
Flash
Injection pressure
too high
• Decrease injection pressure

Melt and/or mold
temperature too hot
Loose clamp
• Reset mold height
• Increase clamp tonnage
Shrink
Too much shrink
• Increase cooling time

In the wire and cable industry, thermoplastics serve to protect by providing electrical
insulation, flame resistance, durability, water resistance, and color coding to wire coatings and
connectors.
These specialized polymers offer advantages compared to traditional
materials that include design freedom, processability, weight reduction, chemical resistance, flame
retardance and lower cost.
