Pro Forma Financial Information The Company acquired Avient Protective Materials (“Dyneema”) on 2022年9月1日 (the “Acquisition Date”) and sold the Distribution segment on 2022年11月1日. To provide comparable results, the company references “pro forma” financial metrics, which include the business results of Avient Protective Materials for periods prior to the Acquisition Date, as if the transaction occurred on 2021年1月1日 and reflect Distribution as a discontinued operation. 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.
