Avient公司高級副總裁兼首席財務官Jamie Beggs表示："正如我們在12月的投資者日上所分享的那樣，我們提出了一條通過高增長市場和我們的技術相結合，提升利潤率，並超越GDP增長100至200個基點的途徑。"2025年伊始，我們準備執行我們的戰略，爲股東創造價值，優先考慮我們的產品組合，增強創新，利用數字技術以及發揮我們超過9000名全球員工的集體優勢。" Beggs還提到："展望未來，我們預計第一季度調整後每股收益爲$0.76，這與去年同期持平，幷包括由於美元走強所帶來的$0.04的外匯壓力。剔除外匯影響，這相當於調整後每股收益增長6%，這是一個令人鼓舞的開端，特別是考慮到去年第一季度因國防訂單的時點過多而受益。" "當前的宏觀環境呈現出多種不確定性，如政策、通脹、外匯和利率等，這使得今年潛在結果的範圍更加廣泛。" Beggs表示。"根據現有信息，我們對全年的最佳預測是調整後EBITDA在5.40億至5.70億美元之間，調整後每股收益在$2.70至$2.94之間。調整後每股收益範圍的中點$2.82代表11%的增長，剔除全年$0.12的不利外匯影響。" Dr. Khandpur補充道："儘管宏觀環境存在短期不確定性，但我們仍然專注於我們能夠控制的部分：與客戶密切聯繫並執行我們的戰略。基於2024年的強勁表現，我仍然對我們團隊在實現去年12月投資者日上分享的長期財務目標的能力充滿信心。"

2025 Outlook

"As we shared at our Investor Day in December, we laid out a path to grow organic sales 100 – 200 basis points above GDP with margin expansion by intersecting high growth markets and secular trends with our technologies to create platforms that scale," said Jamie Beggs, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Avient Corporation. "As we begin 2025, we are poised to execute our strategy to deliver value for our shareholders by prioritizing our portfolio, amplifying innovation, leveraging digital technologies and harnessing the collective strengths of our more than 9,000 global employees."

"Looking ahead, we are projecting first quarter adjusted EPS to be $0.76, which is in-line with the prior year quarter and includes a $0.04 foreign exchange headwind due to the stronger U.S. dollar," added Ms. Beggs. "This translates to 6% adjusted EPS growth, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, and an encouraging start to the year, especially considering the outsized timing of defense orders that benefited the first quarter last year."

"The current macro environment presents several uncertainties related to policy, inflation, foreign exchange and interest rates which provides for a broader set of potential outcomes for the year," Ms. Beggs said. "Our best full year forecast using present information is an adjusted EBITDA range of $540 to $570 million and adjusted EPS range of $2.70 to $2.94. The mid-point of the adjusted EPS range of $2.82 represents 11% growth, excluding the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of $0.12 for the full year."

Dr. Khandpur added, "Despite the near-term uncertainties in the macro environment, we remain focused on what we can control: staying close to our customers and executing our strategy. Building off our strong performance in 2024, I remain optimistic in our team's ability to achieve the long-term financial targets we shared at Investor Day last December."
