Avient (AVNT) posted solid Q2-25 results. Sales rose 2.0% YoY to $866.5 million, helped by 1.4 pp FX tailwind and strength in Defense and Healthcare.

Net income to common shareholders jumped 56% to $52.6 million and diluted EPS reached $0.57 versus $0.36 a year ago. Interest expense fell 7% on lower term-loan pricing.
Six-month figures are mixed. Sales inched up 0.9% to $1.69 billion but a $71.6 million non-cash impairment and $14.7 million hosting fees tied to the discontinued S/4HANA ERP project cut operating income 42% to $96.8 million and slashed EPS to $0.35 (-61%).
Balance sheet/liquidity: Cash declined to $474.5 million (-$70 million YTD) after $50 million voluntary term-loan prepayment and $49.4 million dividends. Total debt dipped to $2.05 billion; a new $500 million revolving credit facility maturing 2030 replaced the prior 2026 line, leaving $487 million availability and no borrowings outstanding.
