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;
• Changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business;
• Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;
• 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 achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM);
• An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
• 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; 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, any recessionary conditions, and terrorism or hostilities
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
In addition, operating
income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual incentive plans and is used in debt covenant
computations.
Senior management believes the measures described above are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to
Avient's performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure Avient's operating results
due to the potential variability across periods based on timing, frequency and magnitude.

Joule RHB products have also been found to have
a synergistic and beneficial processing effect with
use of rPET, not only in masking the color during
recycling but also in enabling high levels of rPET to
be successfully incorporated in preforms.
