In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.

Cost of sales As a percent of sales, cost of sales increased from 75.8% in 2020 to 77.2% in 2021, primarily as a result of rising raw material costs. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. Additionally, in 2021 there were other costs recorded in Cost of sales of $1.0 million.

Tailored to customer design and performance specifications, panels are engineered with custom formulated resins, structural core materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness, strength, weight, performance and cost targets. An engineered panel can reduce system costs through elimination of welding, drilling, bolting and riveting typically associated with metallic panel fabrication. Unlimited lengths and a continuous manufacturing process also provide significant cost savings over traditional composite panel manufacturing techniques.

Working together, we can help you arrive at an optimal solution with speed and accuracy, while helping to lower product development and manufacturing costs. High strength produces parts with greater stiffness and warp resistance, again minimizing scrap-related costs. Superior durability reduces breakage and resultant scrap related costs.

If you are debating that decision, however, consider the true costs and the potential impact on your operations. Maintaining your production equipment is a full- time job; keeping plastisol mixing equipment up to industry standards can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. Avient can help by reducing your inventory complexity and driving out cost to manage.

Involving ColorWorks at the earliest stage of product development can simplify the development process, shorten time-to-market, control costs and feasibility, and manage global color consistency. Once the framework is established, the development process kicks into high gear, utilizing a comprehensive toolbox of cutting-edge technologies: • Mood boards for conceptualization • Extensive color libraries, both physical and digital • Rapid prototyping and sampling • Photorealistic 3D rendering • Accurate cost and feasibility assessment tools This iterative process allows for quick turnarounds and efficient approvals, ensuring that the final product meets all expectations. This collaborative design approach has been shown to reduce development times by 50% or more and generate substantial total cost savings.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; • Changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Demand for our products and services; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA;and • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.
