https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-11/AVNT Q3 2023 Earnings Press Release.pdf
We have updated our full year sales and adjusted EPS guidance to $3.13 billion and $2.30,
respectively, to reflect our current projections as well as weaker foreign exchange.
This reflects the confidence we have in our ability to continue to deliver consistent free
cash flow, but more importantly to drive long-term earnings growth from the areas of focus we
highlighted at our Sustainability Day in September.”
