Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in millions, except for per share data)
Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders

items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-08/avient-investor-presentation-jefferies-industrials-conference.pdf
Accordingly, for purposes of
comparability to the January 28, 2020 guidance, and prior year, management has referenced adjusted EPS excluding the impact of the additional shares issued in February.
For purposes of comparability to the prior year, senior management has referenced adjusted EPS excluding the impact of additional shares issued in February 2020, as well as the impact of the
senior unsecured notes offering completed in May 2020.
