Avient Corp SEC Filings

Avient Corporation reported softer Q3 results.

Diluted EPS was $0.36 compared with $0.41.

Year to date, sales were $2,499.6 million, slightly above last year, but operating income declined to $163.9 million from $243.7 million, reflecting a $71.6 million non-cash impairment and $14.7 million in hosting charges related to ceasing development of the S/4HANA ERP in Q1. Interest expense improved both quarterly and year to date after refinancing and $100.0 million of term-loan prepayments.

Liquidity was strong with $445.6 million of cash and $487.3 million of revolver availability, totaling $932.9 million. Total debt (net of issuance costs/discounts) decreased to $1,971.9 million from $2,067.0 million.
