Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders
and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special
items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
A reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the tables below.

It enables:
• Increased rPET content
• Reduced CO2 emissions
When added to PET preforms and bottles,
ColorMatrix AAzure helps to:
• Improve bottle quality
- Reduced preform acetaldehyde
by up to 80%
- Improved mechanical strength
- Lightweighting
• Improve processability
- Reduced bottle blowouts
- Reduced scrap
- Improved productivity
• Reduce energy consumption during
bottle blowing process
ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is
useful for off-setting yellowing often associated
with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on
final product color or aesthetics.
