Pro Forma Financial Information The Company acquired Avient Protective Materials (“Dyneema”) on September 1, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”) and sold the Distribution segment on November 1, 2022. To provide comparable results, the company references “pro forma” financial metrics, which include the business results of Avient Protective Materials for periods prior to the Acquisition Date, as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2021 and reflect Distribution as a discontinued operation. A reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided in the tables below. 2023 2022 Reconciliation to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income $ EPS(1) $ EPS(1) Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders $ 27.8 $ 0.30 $ (17.0) $ (0.19) Special items, after tax (Attachment 3) 5.4 0.06 38.3 0.42 Amortization expense, after-tax 15.0 0.16 14.6 0.16 Adjusted net income / EPS $ 48.2 $ 0.52 $ 35.9 $ 0.39 (1) Per share amounts may not recalculate from figures presented herein due to rounding 2023 2022 Reconciliation to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income $ EPS(1) $ EPS(1) Net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders $ 75.8 $ 0.83 $ 82.8 $ 0.90 Special items, after tax (Attachment 3) 79.3 0.86 116.2 1.26 Amortization expense, after-tax 61.5 0.67 49.0 0.53 Adjusted net income / EPS $ 216.6 $ 2.36 $ 248.0 $ 2.69 (1) Per share amounts may not recalculate from figures presented herein due to rounding 1 Reconciliation to EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA 2023 2022 2023 2022 Sales - GAAP $ 719.0 $ 790.4 $ 3,142.8 $ 3,396.9 Pro forma APM adjustments — — — 256.1 Pro forma adjusted sales $ 719.0 $ 790.4 $ 3,142.8 $ 3,653.0 Net income (loss) from continuing operations – GAAP $ 27.6 $ (16.6) $ 76.3 $ 83.1 Income tax (benefit) expense (7.0) (60.8) 11.0 (19.3) Interest expense 26.8 49.4 115.3 119.8 Depreciation and amortization from continuing operations 44.2 48.6 188.8 162.5 EBITDA from continuing operations $ 91.6 $ 20.6 $ 391.4 $ 346.1 Special items, before tax 22.4 104.3 114.6 194.0 Interest expense included in special items (0.1) (16.0) (2.3) (26.0) Depreciation and amortization included in special items — (1.5) (1.9) (5.5) Adjusted EBITDA $ 113.9 $ 107.4 $ 501.8 $ 508.6 APM pro forma adjustments - 8 months 2022* — — — 83.1 Pro forma adjusted EBITDA $ 113.9 $ 107.4 $ 501.8 $ 591.7 Pro forma adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales 15.8 % 13.6 % 16.0 % 16.2 % * Pro forma adjustment for January - August 2022 APM results (period before Avient ownership).
