The shortfall was weighed down by $19.30 million in after-tax special items, including restructuring costs, environmental remediation charges, and pension mark-to-market adjustments that pressured GAAP earnings to just $0.18 per share. Still, management pointed to brighter spots within the results: adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 80 basis points to 15.5%, and the Specialty Engineered Materials segment posted meaningful growth, with EBITDA climbing to $61.30 million from $55.60 million in the year-ago period. Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Avient to $52 following the print, citing disciplined cost execution. Looking ahead, management initiated 2026 guidance for adjusted EPS of $2.93 to $3.17, emphasizing that projected growth relies on productivity carryover rather than any assumed improvement in the macro environment.
Key Takeaways
