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.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-03/2023 Avient Bookmarked Proxy Statement - FINAL.pdf
In reviewing competitive market data for 2022, we drew from two independent sources.
The second independent source of data that we used to augment the peer proxy analysis was the
Consultant’s analysis of competitive market data relating to other applicable general industries.
The CEO makes his recommendations in conjunction with the marketplace
data.
