Avient Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

Avient Corporation announces its second quarter results for 2025. The company reported second quarter sales of $866.5 million, compared to $849.7 million in the prior year quarter.

Second quarter GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $0.57 compared to $0.36 in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2025 adjusted EPS were $0.80 compared to $0.76 in the prior year quarter. This represents 5% adjusted EPS growth.

Cash flow from operations of $113 million in the quarter supported $50 million of debt repayment. Avient is on track to reduce debt in total by $100 to $200 million by year-end.

“On behalf of our entire Avient team, I’m pleased to report organic revenue growth for the fifth consecutive quarter driven by our focus on executing our strategy,” says Dr. Ashish Khandpur, chairman, president and CEO, Avient Corporation.

“Our customer focus and strong operational performance ultimately helped us deliver adjusted EPS slightly ahead of our guidance, in spite of the uncertain macro-economic backdrop in several of our key markets.”

“Demand conditions were mixed across the end markets we serve, which continue to be impacted by uncertainty related to the evolving trade policy and inflation. Defense and healthcare demand remained resilient, growing double digits in the quarter, more than offsetting weak demand in consumer,” adds Dr. Khandpur. “On the bottom line, adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 30 basis points to 17.2%.”

2025 Outlook

“Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we expect similar demand trends that we experienced in the first half,” says Jamie Beggs, SVP and CFO, Avient Corporation. “We expect momentum from our high-profit portfolios in defense and healthcare markets, along with disciplined cost controls and productivity initiatives, to contribute to continued margin expansion over the prior year.”

“Furthermore, we are well on track to continue strengthening our balance sheet by reducing debt in total by $100 million to $200 million by year-end, having already repaid $50 million in the second quarter,” she continues.

“We continue to monitor the evolving trade environment, collaborating with our customers and suppliers to implement mitigating actions where appropriate,” Dr. Khandpur adds. “We still expect minimal direct impact from tariffs as we primarily source raw materials and manufacture our products locally in the regions that we serve.”
