Avient Corporation reported a solid turnaround for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Sales rose to $847.4 million from $826.6 million, while gross margin edged up to 32.2% as productivity and restructuring savings more than offset higher costs.
Operating income jumped to $95.8 million from $0.7 million, mainly because last year’s period included a large impairment tied to the S/4HANA ERP project that was discontinued in 2025. Net income attributable to common shareholders improved to $55.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $20.2 million, or $(0.22) per share, as lower interest expense and steadier segment performance supported results. The company ended the quarter with $427.6 million in cash, $1,924.5 million of net debt and total liquidity of $917.9 million.
