And most importantly, it was a year in
which we built upon our previous momentum:
• The fourth quarter of 2014 marked our 21st consecutive
quarter of strong double-digit adjusted EPS growth
• Adjusted EPS for the full year was $1.80, an all-time record,
representing a 37 percent increase over 2013
• We have delivered a 40 percent adjusted EPS CAGR since our
transformation began in 2006
• Since 2009, our Total Shareholder Return of 430 percent is
more than double that of the S&P Mid Cap Chemicals index
Upon becoming the CEO in May, I committed that certain
aspects of our company would not change—our culture and
values, our performance targets, our unique ability to execute
with excellence, and our proven strategy.

Here are some noteworthy examples and record-
setting performances from 2012:
Financial Highlights
Our adjusted EPS of $1.20 for 2012 represented a new
record for PolyOne and an 18 percent increase over
2011, extending our consecutive streak of double-digit
adjusted EPS expansion to 13 quarters.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/PolyOne%25202013%2520Annual%2520Report.pdf
In doing so, we extended our streak
to 17 consecutive quarters of double-digit adjusted EPS
expansion and a growth CAGR of 25 percent over this
period.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Polyone%2520AR.pdf
At our Investor Day in May of last year, we
communicated a path to achieving sustainable
double digit annual adjusted EPS growth and
16–17% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).
