GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.25, compared to $0.30 in the prior year second quarter - Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.39, excluding the impact of the financing for the Clariant masterbatch acquisition. Completed acquisition of Clariant's masterbatch business for net purchase price of approximately $1.4 billion and announced new company name: Avient Corporation Management will provide more commentary related to its second quarter performance, the Clariant Masterbatch acquisition and initial thoughts on third quarter performance on its upcoming conference call.

In addition, it has been just over a year since we acquired Clariant Masterbatch and we became Avient.  to highlight our sustainable solutions portfolio, Clariant Masterbatch integration synergies and future growth plans.  The company acquired the Clariant Masterbatch business ("CMB") on

With Fabric FX masterbatch and a textured mold surface, manufacturers have a drop-in solution to design novel parts that appear to be covered in textiles.

Avient will engage with customers to determine whether a liquid or solid masterbatch would be optimal for their applications.

During processing, a laser beam activates laser sensitive additives within a masterbatch.
