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.

quarters, due to slowing pace of destocking
• Positive net price benefit:
o CAI – Pricing flat with favorable mix from
uptick in packaging and consumer end
markets and raw material deflation
o SEM - Pricing flat with favorable mix from
Composites and raw material deflation
• Cost reductions primarily driven by reduced
administrative costs and cost synergies

• Significant raw material price inflation and
tight inventory continued in Q2 2022,
although at a slightly lesser rate compared
to the prior quarter
o For Q2 2022, the average cost of key
hydrocarbon based materials was up 15%,
roughly the same as the average cost of non-
hydrocarbon based materials
Continued supply chain challenges
persisted during Q2 related to raw
material spot purchases, freight
constraints and productivity loss as a
result of these shortages.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-10/Flexi-StiX FlexSpring Case Study.pdf
Seeking to
create a more innovative and comfortable insole using
state-of-the-art materials, Gordon and his partner, Jeff
Milliman of Greenville Running Company, went to work.
The fiberglass material, which is less stiff
than carbon, proved to provide greater comfort and
gave the energy return they were looking for.
THE SOLUTION
After extensive research, Gordon found the material
that met his requirements: Avient’s Polystrand™
unidirectional thermoplastic tape.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-07/comptek-catalog.pdf
By applying our
technology and experience, we can help you to
enhance these materials with color, additives
and fibers.
We use our proven expertise in formulating
high temperature thermoplastics to create
formulations based on materials that include:
• PEEK • PSU
• PEI • LCP
• PES • PPS
• PPSU
These specialty formulations give manufacturers
confidence in the reliability and durability of
their products.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
