Anticipated
benefits from the conversion included improved
cost efficiencies and aesthetics, greater design
freedom and product differentiation .
Using simulation software reduced iterations,
aided in decision making and increased confidence
in the solution’s ergonomic benefits .
These materials
may offer comparable or improved performance
compared to traditional polymers, and provide
cost benefits as well .

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;
• The current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows;
• Our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant’s Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies;
• Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and 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;
• An inability to achieve the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;
• Our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions;
• 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 described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

• Revenue from sustainable solutions expected to grow 11% in
2021 as our innovation efforts and collaboration with customers
continues to accelerate
• Relentless focus on delivering our 2030 sustainability targets to
benefit the planet and people of the world while adding value to
our customers, communities, associates and shareholders
• Investments centered around innovation and global sustainability
megatrends
o Improving Recyclability – Technologies that allow for increased use
of post-consumer recycled (PCR) material
o Light-weighting – Composites and CAI applications to reduce weight
and material requirements, which minimize energy and carbon
emissions
o Eco-Conscious – Health and human safety applications as well as
Avient’s alternative materials to replace lead, PVC, halogens, BPA
and other less eco-friendly options
o Avient CycleWorks – New innovation center dedicated to advancing
recycling and the circular economy through collaboration with
customers and brand owners
Enable 100% of products manufactured for
packaging applications to be recyclable or
reusable.
We will deliver for our stakeholders through multiple value creation levers—many of
which are unique to Avient:
o Demand for sustainable solutions, healthcare, and composites, together with Clariant
Masterbatch revenue synergies, that will drive 2021 revenue growth of 14% and long-term
growth in excess of GDP
o Clariant Masterbatch cost synergy capture will result in significant near-term benefit
In addition, we remain committed to increasing annual dividends in line with earnings growth and
opportunistically buying back shares, all while remaining modestly levered.

These
properties, coupled with a wide array of base engineering thermoplastics,
deliver the distinct benefits of LubriOne:
• Reduced friction and heat buildup between interacting surfaces
• Reduced noise and vibration among components in relative motion
• Reduced weight and improved design freedom
• Lower long–term maintenance costs when grease and other lubricants
are eliminated
