    CLEVELAND, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Avient Corporation (NYSE:AVNT), an innovator of materials solutions, today announced its second quarter results for 2025. The company reported second quarter sales of $866.5 million, compared to $849.7 million in the prior year quarter.

    Avient Corporation (PRNewsfoto/Avient Corporation)

    Second quarter GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $0.57 compared to $0.36 in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2025 GAAP EPS includes special items of $0.07 (see attachment 3), and $0.16 of intangible amortization expense (see attachment 1).

    Second quarter 2025 adjusted EPS were $0.80 compared to $0.76 in the prior year quarter, representing 5% adjusted EPS growth and includes a favorable impact of $0.01 attributable to foreign exchange.

    "On behalf of our entire Avient team, I'm pleased to report organic revenue growth for the fifth consecutive quarter driven by our focus on executing our strategy," said Dr. Ashish Khandpur, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Avient Corporation. "Our customer focus and strong operational performance ultimately helped us deliver adjusted EPS slightly ahead of our guidance, in spite of the uncertain macro-economic backdrop in several of our key markets."

    "Demand conditions were mixed across the end markets we serve, which continue to be impacted by uncertainty related to the evolving trade policy and inflation. Defense and healthcare demand remained resilient, growing double digits in the quarter, more than offsetting weak demand in consumer," added Dr. Khandpur. "On the bottom line, adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 30 basis points to 17.2%. These results were achieved by remaining focused on our customers and controlling what we can influence through increased productivity and cost discipline, while still prioritizing investments in our growth vectors aligned to our strategy."

    2025 Outlook

    "Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we expect similar demand trends that we experienced in the first half," said Jamie Beggs, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Avient Corporation. "We expect momentum from our high profit portfolios in defense and healthcare markets, along with disciplined cost controls and productivity initiatives, to contribute to continued margin expansion over the prior year."

    "Accordingly, we are narrowing our full year guidance range for adjusted EBITDA to $545 to $560 million and adjusted EPS to $2.77 to $2.87," added Ms. Beggs. "For the third quarter we expect adjusted EPS of $0.70, which represents 8% growth over the prior year quarter largely driven by higher margins."

    "Furthermore, we are well on track to continue strengthening our balance sheet by reducing debt in total by $100 million to $200 million by year-end, having already repaid $50 million in the second quarter," she continued.

    Dr. Khandpur said, "We continue to monitor the evolving trade environment, collaborating with our customers and suppliers to implement mitigating actions where appropriate. We still expect minimal direct impact from tariffs as we primarily source raw materials and manufacture our products locally in the regions that we serve. We remain committed to executing our strategy to drive top line growth above our markets, while expanding margins on the bottom line."

    Webcast Details

    Avient will provide additional details on its 2025 second quarter and its 2025 full year outlook during its webcast scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2025.

    The webcast can be viewed live at avient.com/investors, or by clicking on the webcast link here. Conference call participants in the question and answer session should pre-register using the link at avient.com/investors, or here, to receive the dial-in number and personal PIN. This information is required to access the conference call. The question-and-answer session will follow the company's presentation and prepared remarks.

    A recording of the webcast and the slide presentation will be available at avient.com/investors/events-presentations immediately following the conference call and will be accessible for one year.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The Company uses both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures include organic performance (which excludes the impact of foreign exchange), adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margins, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Avient's chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and each business segment and to allocate resources.

    The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items, and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation costs and associated recoveries, mark-to-market adjustments on pension and other post-retirement obligations, acquisition-related charges, and other non-routine costs. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance.

    Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share (Unaudited)

    (In millions, except per share data)

     

    Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income attributable to Avient common shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Avient common shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results. Further, as a result of Avient's strategic shift to an innovator of materials solutions, it has completed several acquisitions and divestitures which have resulted in a significant amount of intangible asset amortization. Management excludes intangible asset amortization from adjusted EPS as it believes excluding acquired intangible asset amortization is a useful measure of current period earnings per share. Senior management believes these measures 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.

    Avient Corporation

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

    (In millions, except per share data)

     

    Senior management uses operating income before special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that this measure is most useful in understanding current profitability levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance. 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 this measure is useful to investors because it allows 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. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See Attachment 3 for a definition and summary of special items.
