Avient Corporation reported modest 2025 sales growth but sharply lower profit. Sales rose 0.6% to $3.26 billion, with 61% generated outside the U.S. However, net income from continuing operations fell 51% to $83.6 million, and diluted EPS declined to $0.89 from $1.84.
Gross margin slipped to 31.2% from 32.6% as higher restructuring costs, planned maintenance and lower environmental insurance gains offset stable revenue. A key drag was a $71.6 million impairment from halting S/4HANA ERP development plus $14.7 million in related hosting obligations, driving a 38% drop in operating income to $203.5 million.
Cash generation improved, with operating cash flow increasing to $301.6 million, helped by insurance proceeds and lower pension and environmental payments. Avient reduced total debt to $1.92 billion, prepaid $150 million on its term loan, refinanced at lower rates and ended 2025 with liquidity of $1.00 billion, including $510.5 million of cash.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $544.6 million, with margins improving to 16.7%. Operating cash flow reached $301.6 million, enabling $150.3 million of debt repayment.
