Avient Corporation
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and operating income before special items to assess performance
and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability
levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance.

In the
consumer applications, the elastomer performance needed is processability, colorability and softness.
New colors, textures,
designs, comfort – these and more are all compelling reasons to choose a product that features an overmolded
TPE surface.
The consumers’ preference for a soft
touch, "warm" feel and a personalized color palette drives the use of TPEs in personal care products.
