2021年7月30日
- GAAP EPS from continuing operations increased to $0.74 from $0.25 in the prior year quarter
- Sales increased 42% to $1.235 billion and adjusted EPS increased 107% to $0.87 driven by very strong demand conditions in nearly all end markets
- Full year adjusted EPS guidance for 2021 increased from $2.80 to $3.00, representing 55% growth over the prior year adjusted EPS of $1.93
- Investor Day to be held December 9th in New York City will highlight sustainable solutions portfolio and innovation to drive future growth

CLEVELAND, 2021年7月30日 /PRNewswire/ -- Avient Corporation (NYSE: AVNT), a leading provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions, today reported its second quarter results for 2021. Second quarter 2021 GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.74 compared to $0.25 in the prior year second quarter.  The company noted that GAAP EPS includes special items (Attachment 3), which impacted EPS in both periods and were primarily associated with environmental and restructuring costs.  Unless otherwise noted herein, all comparisons to prior year results are pro forma* for the Clariant Masterbatch acquisition.

"I'm very pleased with our results as second quarter sales and adjusted EPS reached all-time highs driven by our portfolio of sustainable solutions and continued strong demand conditions," said Robert M. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Avient Corporation.   "In addition, it has been just over a year since we acquired Clariant Masterbatch and we became Avient.  Our first year of integration has been a tremendous success." 

"But none of this has been easy," Mr. Patterson continued.  "We are delivering record results against a backdrop of incredibly challenging conditions, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, significant supply chain disruptions and inflation.  I'm more proud that we have been able to overcome these additional costs to increase adjusted EPS, while serving our customers and keeping our employees healthy and safe."

The company cited robust demand across all end markets, particularly in consumer applications (up 67%) as revenue increased 42% to $1.235 billion. The revenue growth, coupled with expanding margins and synergy capture from the Clariant Masterbatch integration, led to a 107% increase in adjusted EPS to $0.87 versus $0.42 in the prior year quarter. 

The company also noted that on 2021年7月1日 it acquired Magna Colours Ltd., a market leader in sustainable, water-based inks technology for the textile screen printing industry.  "Magna represents another addition to our growing portfolio of sustainable solutions, as brand owners seek eco-conscious materials for their customers," Mr. Patterson said.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2021 Outlook

Commenting on the company's 2021 outlook, Mr. Patterson said, "Demand continues to be strong and I remain confident in our team's ability to continue navigating the supply chain dynamics to ensure we deliver for our customers.  We expect seasonality of the business to play out in the third quarter and estimate sales of $1.15 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.68. This represents sales and adjusted EPS growth of 24% and 48%, respectively, over the prior year third quarter."

Mr. Patterson added, "For the full year 2021, we are also increasing estimates and now expect revenues of approximately $4.6 to $4.7 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.00, a 55% increase over the prior year."

Sustainability Report and Upcoming Investor Day

"We plan to host an investor day in New York City on December 9 to highlight our sustainable solutions portfolio, Clariant Masterbatch integration synergies and future growth plans.  We are optimistic we can host this meeting in person, but will make arrangements to do so by video if necessary," said Jamie Beggs, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Avient Corporation.

"For an advance look at our sustainability initiatives, please review our most recent sustainability report, which will soon be available on our website," added Ms. Beggs.  "Our report not only captures our commitments and performance but also clearly demonstrates how sustainability is an unquestionable growth driver for Avient going forward."

The comprehensive report includes expanded 2030 Sustainability Goals and highlights related to each of Avient's four cornerstones – People, Products, Planet and Performance.

The company noted it will provide more details on its second quarter results and outlook during the webcast scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on 2021年7月30日

They use words such as "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial condition, performance and/or sales. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include 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 including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues; 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; and 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.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports on Form 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K that we provide to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for adjusted earnings per share, 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, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition related costs, 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.

Senior management uses comparisons of adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders and diluted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations attributable to Avient shareholders, excluding special items, to assess performance and facilitate comparability of results. 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.

Attachment 7

Avient Corporation
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)

 

Senior management uses gross margin before special items and operating income before special items to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are 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 annual and long-term employee incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations. 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.
