6.GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSET IMPAIRMENT

During the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge for our Spunlace segment of $42.5 million. The Spunlace segment has faced continued inflationary challenges which had escalated since our acquisition of this business in late 2021. Our selling price increases have been insufficient to offset the impact of inflation. Furthermore, the Spunlace segment has been impacted by unexpected supply chain and other operational issues which, in combination with the commercial issues, have resulted in an unexpected increase in operating losses. Although, management expects it will address the commercial, as well as, operational challenges that have impacted the profitability of this segment, the timing to effectuate the necessary changes to improve performance of this segment will be longer than previously expected. As a result of these changes, the Company performed a goodwill assessment this quarter which has prompted the impairment charge.
During
In the first quarter of 2022, in connection with an assessment of potential impairment of long-lived and indefinite lived intangible assets stemming from the compounding impacts resulting from the Russia/Ukraine military conflict and related sanctions, we recorded a $117.3 million non-cash asset impairment charge related to Composite Fibers' Dresden facility and an impairment of Composite Fibers' goodwill. Dresden is a single-line facility that produces wallcover base paper, the majority of which is sold into the Russian and Ukrainian markets. As a direct result of the economic impacts from the conflict, and the disruptions in the underlying financial systems and prohibition of the export of sanctioned wallcover base paper to Russia, management expects a significant reduction in wallcover revenues and associated cash flows for the foreseeable future. In addition, the conflict is expected to significantly impact energy prices and also impact other Composite Fibers products that are also subject to export sanctions into Russia. Accordingly, a charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value of the Dresden fixed assets and intangible assets (technological know-how, customer relationships, and an indefinite-lived trade name), along with Composite Fibers’ goodwill to fair value.

The following table summarizes the impairment chargecharges recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption “Goodwill and other asset impairment charges:”

The fair value of the underlying assets was estimated using discounted cash flow models, independent appraisals and similar methods, all of which are Level 3 fair value classification.

In addition, asAs a result of economic sanctions and disruptions to the financial markets, certain Russian and Ukrainian customers are not able to satisfy outstanding accounts receivables. As such, during the first sixnine months of 2022, we recognized bad debt expense of approximately $2.9 million directly related to Russian and Ukrainian customers. Furthermore, during the first sixnine months of 2022, we increased inventory reserves by approximately $1.0 million, primarily related to wallcover products.

7.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
For both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30,2022, we recognized a loss of $0.2 million and income of $0.1 million, respectively. The loss during the three months ended September 30, 2022 we recognizedprimarily represents legal costs. The income of $0.4 million whichduring the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily represents the successful appeal of a sales and use tax audit partially offset by legal costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the $0.1we recognized a loss of $0.5 million lossand $0.6 million, respectively, and is primarily related to legal costs.

10.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 5, 2022, upon Board and shareholder approval, the Glatfelter Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan became effective and is a successor plan to the P. H. Glatfelter Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “LTIP”). The LTIP continues to provide for the issuance of Glatfelter common stock to eligible participants in the form of restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, non-qualified stock options, performance shares, incentive stock options and performance units. Furthermore, the LTIP increases the number shares previously available for issuance by 1,400,000 shares. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, there were 2,670,5232,456,410 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the LTIP.
Pursuant to terms of the LTIP, we have issued to eligible participants restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share awards (“PSAs”) and stock-only stock appreciation rights.

In 2022, we issued awards to employees of RSUs and PSAs under our LTIP. In 2022, 40%50% of fair value of the awards granted were RSUs, which vest based on the passage of time, generally over a graded three-year period or, in certain instances, the RSUs were cliff vesting after one or three years. In addition, some awards vest over one year or less depending upon the retirement eligibility of the grantees in the LTIP. The remaining 60%50% of the fair value of the awards granted in 2022 were PSAs. The PSAs awarded in 2022 vest based on either the achievement of cumulative financial performance targets covering a two-year period or based on the three-year total shareholder return relative to a broad market index. The performance measures include a minimum, target and maximum performance level providing the grantees an opportunity to receive more or less shares than targeted depending on actual financial performance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 360,000 PSAs and 240,000 RSUs to our new CEO, Thomas Fahnemann, as part of his on-boarding compensation package. These PSAs have a 3-year service and performance requirement that is based on our stock price achieving certain levels during the performance period. Specifically, if the Company’s closing stock price is $10 or higher for 20 consecutive days during the performance period, 50% of the award is achieved. If the stock price exceeds $18 per share for 20 consecutive days during the performance period 100% of the award is achieved. The RSUs vest over a three-year period with 50% vesting after two years and the remainder vesting after three years.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, in connection with his separation from the Company, certain unvested RSUs and PSAs of the former CEO were forfeited, and as a result, the Company recognized a stock-based compensation benefit of approximately $3.1 million which is included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

For RSUs, the grant date fair value of the awards, or the closing price per common share on the date of the award, is used to determine the amount of expense to be recognized over the applicable service period. For PSAs, the grant date fair value is estimated using a lattice model. The significant inputs include the stock price, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free rate of return. Settlement of RSUs and PSAs will be made in shares of our common stock currently held in treasury.

12.INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The effects of income taxes are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates.
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had a pretax loss from continuing operations of $124.2$168.6 million and income tax benefit of $13.5$8.6 million. The income tax benefit includes $19.2$19.7 million of deferred tax benefit associated with the asset impairment chargecharges and related bad debt and inventory reserves (refer to Note 6). Absent these charges, the Company had a pre-tax loss of $2.9$4.7 million and income tax expense of $5.7$11.1 million, which was unfavorably impacted by the jurisdictional mix of pretax results among the Company and its subsidiaries, primarily by the pretaxand certain domestic and foreign jurisdiction losses in the U.S. which generated no tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by recording a valuation allowance on the net operating losses related to Spunlace operations in Soultz, France. The impact of that valuation allowance was an increase in tax expense of $5.3 million.
- 16 -



For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we recorded an increase in our federalthe valuation allowance of $4.5$12.0 million for U.S. federal and foreign jurisdictions against our net deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based on this analysis, we recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets where the weight of the evidence indicated it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be realized.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $56.8$56.4 million and $55.7 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, if such benefits were to be recognized, approximately $53.0$52.5 million would be recorded as a component of income tax expense, thereby affecting our effective tax rate.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive review of its global tax positions on a
- 16 -



quarterly basis and accrues amounts for uncertain tax positions. Based on these reviews and the result of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities and the closure of tax years subject to tax audit, reserves are adjusted as necessary. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are determined or resolved or as such statutes are closed. Due to potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the lapse of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible our gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may decrease within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $1.7$1.9 million. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.

15.LEASES
We enter into a variety of arrangements in which we are the lessee for the use of automobiles, forklifts and other production equipment, production facilities, warehouses, office space and land. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. All our lease arrangements are operating leases and are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Other assets” and the lease obligation is under “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities.” We do not have any finance leases.
Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. For purposes of recording the lease arrangement, the term of lease may include options to extend or terminate when we are reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The following table sets forth information related to our leases as of the periods indicated.

On September 2, 2021, we entered into a restatement agreement as part of a Fourth Amended and Restated $400 million Revolving Credit Facility and a €220.0 million Term Loan (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) which matures September 6, 2026 and February 8, 2024, respectively.
On May 9, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment: i) increases the permitted maximum ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“leverage ratio”); ii) increases the maximum interest rate borrowing margin to be applied to the applicable index by 25 basis points; and iii) pledges as collateral substantially all domestic assets to secure obligations owed under the Credit Agreement. As amended, we are obligated to maintain a maximum ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 6.75 to 1.0 until the quarter ended December 31, 2023, after which the maximum leverage ratio steps down to 4.0 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring a minimum interest coverage ratio and provisions limiting our ability to, among other things, (i) incur debt and guaranty obligations, (ii) incur liens, (iii) make loans, advances, investments and acquisitions, (iv) merge or liquidate, (v) sell or transfer assets, (vi) incur additional indebtednessindebtedness.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the leverage ratio calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement was 5.3x5.7x. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the Revolving Credit Agreement, among which are the termination of the agreement and the repayment of the outstanding borrowings plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Credit Agreement.
Glatfelter Corporation guarantees all debt obligations of its subsidiaries. All such obligations are recorded in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Letters of credit issued to us by certain financial institutions totaled $6.7$4.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The letters of credit, which reduce amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility, primarily provide financial assurances for the benefit of certain state workers compensation insurance agencies in conjunction with our self-insurance program and for performance of certain remediation activity related to the Fox River matter. We bear the credit risk on this amount to the extent that we do not comply with the provisions of certain agreements. No amounts are outstanding under the letters of credit.

18.FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of our overall risk management practices, we enter into financial derivatives primarily designed to either i) hedge foreign currency risks associated with forecasted transactions (“cash flow hedges”); ii) mitigate the impact that changes in currency exchange rates have on intercompany financing transactions and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables (“foreign currency hedges”); or iii) convert variable-interest-rate debt to fixed rates.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges We use currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates on certain forecasted production costs. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the exchange for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the maturity of currency forward contracts ranged from one month to 18 months.
We designate certain currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted raw material purchases, certain production costs or capital expenditures with exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. With respect to hedges of forecasted raw material purchases or production costs, the amount deferred is subsequently reclassified into costs of products sold in the period that, inventory produced using the hedged transaction, affects earnings. For hedged capital expenditures, deferred gains or losses are reclassified and included in the historical cost of the capital asset and subsequently affect earnings as depreciation is recognized.

On June 15, 2022, we terminated a €180 million notional value floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with certain financial institutions that was entered into in October 2019 and was to mature in December 2022. During the life of the swap, we paid a fixed interest rate of the applicable margin plus 0.0395% on €180 million of the underlying variable rate term loan. We received the greater of 0.00% or EURIBOR. At termination, we recognized a deferred gain of $0.4 million that will be amortized into interest expense through December 2022.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments – Net Investment Hedge The €220 million Term Loan discussed in Note 16 – “Long-Term Debt” is designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro functional currency foreign subsidiaries. During the first sixnine months of 2022 and 2021, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $15.7$27.5 million and $7.8$13.8 million, respectively, on the remeasurement of the term loan from changes in currency exchange rates. Such amounts are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
On March 3,September 6, 2022, we terminated a $150.0 million cross currency swap agreement with certain financial institutions that was entered into cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional value of $150.0 million.in March 2022 and was to mature in May 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the swaps,swap, we agreed to receive 4.750% interest denominated in U.S. dollars and we agreed to pay 3.06% interest denominated in euros. Interest is paid semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 and the swaps mature on May 15, 2025. We designated the cross-currency swapsswap as a hedge of our net investment in certain euro functional currency subsidiaries. We collected cash proceeds of approximately $15.2 million upon termination. The gain associated with the swap remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments - Foreign Currency HedgesWe also entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the impact changes in currency exchange rates have on balance sheet monetary assets and liabilities. None of these contracts are designated as hedges for financial accounting purposes and, accordingly, changes in value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and in the offsetting underlying on-balance-sheet transactions are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption “Other, net.”
The following sets forth derivatives used to mitigate the impact changes in currency exchange rates have on balance sheet monetary assets and liabilities:

The amounts set forth in the table above represent the net asset or liability giving effect to rights of offset with each counterparty. The effect of netting the amounts presented above did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position.

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair values of the foreign exchange forward contracts are considered to be Level 2. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using foreign currency forward and interest rate curves. The fair value of each contract is determined by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate and discounting to present value. Contracts in a gain position are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the value of contracts in a loss position is recorded under the caption “Other current liabilities.”

Credit risk related to derivative activity arises in the event the counterparty fails to meet its obligations to us. This exposure is generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparty’s obligations exceed our obligation to them. Our policy is to enter into contracts only with financial institutions which meet certain minimum credit ratings.

19.COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Fox River - Neenah, Wisconsin
Background We have previously reported that we face liabilities associated with environmental claims arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in sediments in the lower Fox River, on which our former Neenah facility was located, and in the Bay of Green Bay, Wisconsin (collectively, the “Site”). Since the early 1990s, the United States, the State of Wisconsin and two Indian tribes (collectively, the “Governments”) have pursued a cleanup of a 39-mile stretch of river from Little Lake Butte des Morts into Green Bay and natural resource damages (“NRDs”). The United States originally notified several entities that they were potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”); however, after giving effect to settlements reached with the Governments, the remaining PRPs exposed to continuing obligations to implement the remainder of the cleanup consist of us, Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products, L.P. (“Georgia-Pacific”) and NCR Corporation. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has divided the Site into 5five “operable units”, including the most upstream portion of the Site on which our facility was located (“OU1”) and four downstream reaches of the river and bay (“OU2-5”).
Over the past several years, we and certain other PRPs completed all remedial actions pursuant to applicable consent decrees or a Unilateral Administrative Order. In January 2019, we reached an agreement with the United States, the State of Wisconsin, and Georgia-Pacific to resolve all remaining claims among those parties. Under the Glatfelter consent decree, we are primarily responsible for long-term monitoring and maintenance in OU2-OU4a and for reimbursement of government oversight costs paid after October 2018. Finally, we remain responsible for our obligation to continue long-term monitoring and maintenance under our OU1 consent decree.
Cost estimates Our remaining obligations under the OU1 consent decree consist of long-term monitoring and maintenance. Furthermore, we are primarily responsible for long-term monitoring and maintenance in OU2-OU4a over a period of at least 30 years. The monitoring activities consist of, among others, testing fish tissue, sampling water quality
- 24 -



and sediment, and inspections of the engineered caps. In 2018, we entered into a fixed-price, 30-year agreement with a third party for the performance of all of our monitoring and maintenance obligations in OU1 through OU4a with limited
- 24 -



exceptions, such as, for extraordinary amounts of cap maintenance or replacement. Our obligation under this agreement is included in our total reserve for the Site. We are obligated to make the regular payments under that fixed-price contract until the remaining amount due is less than the OU1 escrow account balance. We are permitted to pay for this contract using the remaining balance of the escrow account established by us and WTM I Company (“WTM I”) another PRP, under the OU1 consent decree during any period that the balance in the escrow account exceeds the amount due under our fixed-price contract. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the balance in the escrow is less than amounts due under the fixed-price contract by approximately $1.3 million. Our obligation to pay this difference is secured by a letter of credit.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the escrow account balance totaled $8.7 million which is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Other assets.”
Under the consent decree, we are responsible for reimbursement of government oversight costs paid from October 2018 and later over approximately the next 30 years. We anticipate that oversight costs will decline as activities at the site have transitioned from remediation to long-term monitoring and maintenance.
Reserves for the Site Our reserve for past and future government oversight costs and long-term monitoring and maintenance totaled $14.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, of which $2.2$2.3 million is recorded in the accompanying JuneSeptember 30, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Environmental liabilities” and the remaining $12.6$12.5 million is recorded under the caption “Other long-term liabilities.”
Range of Reasonably Possible Outcomes Based on our analysis of all available information, including but not limited to decisions of the courts, official documents such as records of decision, discussions with legal counsel, cost estimates for future monitoring and maintenance and other post-remediation costs to be performed at the Site, we do not believe that our costs associated with the Fox River matter could exceed the aggregate amounts accrued by a material amount.

Segments Results of individual operating segments are presented based on our management accounting practices and management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the segments. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. The costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the segment are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services or are included in “Other and Unallocated” in the table set forth above.
Management evaluates results of operations of the operating segments before certain corporate level costs and the effects of certain gains or losses not considered to be related to the core business operations. Management believes that this
- 26 -



is a more meaningful representation of the operating performance of its core businesses, the profitability of the segments
- 26 -



and the extent of cash flow generated from these core operations. Such amounts are presented under the caption “Other and Unallocated.” In the evaluation of operating segments results, management does not use any measures of total assets. This presentation is aligned with the management and operating structure of our company. It is also on this basis that the Company’s performance is evaluated internally and by the Company’s Board of Directors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Glatfelter’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2021 Form 10-K").
Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future consolidated financial position or results of operations, made in this Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking. We use words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “future”, “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from such expectations. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements all of which are inherently difficult to predict. Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. Accordingly, we identify the following important factors, among others, which could cause our results to differ from any results that might be projected, forecasted or estimated in any such forward-looking statements:
i.risks related to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and its impact on our production, sales, supply chain, cost of energy, and availability of energy due to potential natural gas supply issues into Europe from the Nord Stream 1 pipeline;
ii.risks associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including global and regional economic conditions, changes in demand for our products, interruptions in our global supply chain, ability to continue production by our facilities, credit conditions of our customers or suppliers, or potential legal actions that could arise due to our operations during the pandemic;
iii.disruptions of our global supply chain, including the availability of key raw materials and transportation for the delivery of critical inputs and of products to customers, and the increase in the costs of transporting materials and products;
iv.risks associated with our ability to increase selling prices quickly or sufficiently enough to recover rapid cost inflation in our raw materials, energy, freight and other costs;costs, and the potential reduction or loss of sales due to price increases;
v.variations in demand for our products, including the impact of unplanned market-related downtime, variations in product pricing, or product substitution;
vi.the impact of competition, changes in industry production capacity, including the construction of new facilities or new machines, the closing of facilities and incremental changes due to capital expenditures or productivity increases;
vii.risks associated with our international operations, including local economic and political environments and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
viii.our ability to develop new, high value-added products;
ix.changes in the price or availability of raw materials we use, particularly woodpulp, pulp substitutes, synthetic pulp, other specialty fibers and abaca fiber;
x.changes in energy-related prices and commodity raw materials with an energy component;
xi.the impact of unplanned production interruption at our facilities or at any of our key suppliers;
xii.disruptions in production and/or increased costs due to labor disputes;
xiii.the gain or loss of significant customers and/or on-going viability of such customers;
xiv.the impact of war and terrorism;
xv.the impact of unfavorable outcomes of audits by various state, federal or international tax authorities or changes in pre-tax income and its impact on the valuation of deferred taxes;
xvi.enactment of adverse state, federal or foreign tax or other legislation or changes in government legislation, policy or regulation; and
xvii.our ability to finance, consummate and integrate acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Mount Holly and Jacob Holm.
Introduction We manufacture a wide array of engineered materials and manage our company along three operating segments:
Composite Fibers with sales of single-serve tea and coffee filtration papers, wallcovering base materials, composite laminate papers, technical specialties including substrates for electrical applications, and metallized products;
- 28 -



Airlaid Materials with sales of airlaid nonwoven fabric-like materials used in feminine hygiene products, adult incontinence products, tabletop, specialty wipes, home care products and other airlaid applications; and
- 28 -



Spunlace with sales of premium quality spunlace nonwovens for critical cleaning, high-performance materials, personal care, hygiene and medical applications.
The former Specialty Papers business’ results of operations and financial condition are reported as discontinued operations. Following is a discussion and analysis primarily of the financial results of operations and financial condition of our continuing operations.

Acquisition As discussed in Item 1 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 3 “Acquisitions,” we completed our acquisitions of Georgia-Pacific's U.S. nonwovens business (“Mount Holly”) on May 13, 2021 for $170.9 million and the acquisition of all outstanding equity of PMM Holdings (Luxembourg) AG ("Jacob Holm") on October 29, 2021 for $304.0 million. Refer to Note 3 - “Acquisitions"”for additional information about these transactions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SixNine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 versus the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021
Overview For the first sixnine months of 2022, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $110.8$160.0 million, or $2.47$3.57 per share compared with income of $9.9$17.9 million and $0.22$0.40 per diluted share in the year earlier period. The following table sets forth summarized consolidated results of operations:

Earnings per shareEarnings per share(2.46)0.22 Earnings per share(3.57)0.39 
The reported results are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect the impact of a number of significant items including a goodwill impairment charges related to our Composite Fibers and Spunlace segments and other asset impairment charge related to our Dresden operations, and Composite Fibers segment, strategic initiatives, CEO transition costs, corporate headquarters relocation, and cost optimization, among others. On an adjusted earnings basis, a non-GAAP measure, we had a loss from continuing operations of $7.8$12.1 million, or $0.17$0.27 per share for the first sixnine months of 2022, compared with income of $16.5$26.0 million, or $0.37$0.58 per diluted share, a year ago.
Our operating results for the first sixnine months of 2022 reflect: i) the impactrecognition of Russia/Ukraine military conflict which commenced on February 24, 2022$159.9 million of goodwill impairment charges related to our Composite Fibers and the compounding impacts, including sanctions on the sale of certain products into Russia, adversely impacted sales, prices paid for energy, productionSpunlace segments and collection of receivables and resulted in the recording of a $117.3 million asset impairment charge;charges related to our Dresden facility; ii) the completion of two significant acquisitions in 2021, which collectively added $246.9$363.2 million of additional net sales;sales compared to 2021; iii) the adverse impact of significant inflationary pressures, particularlyfor energy, costs,certain raw materials, and freight, which have outpaced our efforts to realize higher selling prices; and iv) interest expense increased reflecting the acquisition financing.
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we evaluate our performance using adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share. We disclose this information to allow investors to evaluate our performance exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period, and we believe it is helpful in understanding underlying operating trends and cash flow generation.
Adjusted earnings consists of net income determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted to exclude the impact of the following:
Goodwill and other asset impairment charges. This adjustment represents non-cash charges recorded to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill of our Composite Fibers and Spunlace reporting segments and certain long-lived assets and intangible assets of our Dresden facility.
- 29 -



CEO transition costs.This adjustment reflects the net costs associated with the transition from our former CEO to our current CEO, including cash severance costs, forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards, and certain professional and legal fees incurred directly related to the transition.
Strategic initiatives. These adjustments primarily reflect professional and legal fees incurred directly related to evaluating and executing certain strategic initiatives including costs associated with acquisitions, related integrations, and charges incurred to step-up acquired inventory to fair-value.
- 29 -



Corporate headquarters relocation. These adjustments reflect costs incurred in connection with the strategic relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters to Charlotte, NC. The costs are primarily related to employee relocation costs and exit costs at the former corporate headquarters.
Cost optimization actions. These adjustments reflect charges incurred in connection with initiatives to optimize the cost structure of the Company, improve efficiencies or other objectives. Such actions may include asset rationalization, headcount reductions, or similar actions. These adjustments, which have occurred at various times in the past, are irregular in timing and relate to specific identified programs to reduce or optimize the cost structure of a particular operating segment or the corporate function.
Goodwill and other asset impairment charges. This adjustment represents a non-cash charge recorded to reduce the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill of our Dresden facility and the Composite Fibers reporting segment. The impairment was directly related to the adverse impact of the Russia/Ukraine military conflict on our projected revenue and EBITDA.
Russia/Ukraine conflict charges. This adjustment represents a non-cash chargecharges recorded to reduce the carrying amount of accounts receivable and inventory directly related to the Russia/Ukraine military conflict.conflict and related sanctions on the sale of certain products into Russia.
Timberland sales and related costs. These adjustments exclude gains from the sales of timberlands as these items are not considered to be part of our core business, ongoing results of operations or cash flows. These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may benefit our operating results.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act 2020. This adjustment reflects taxes recorded in connection with passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”) related to provisions that modified the “net operating loss” provisions of previous law to allow certain losses to be carried back five years.
These adjustments are each unique and not considered to be on-going in nature. The transactions are irregular in timing and amount and may significantly impact our operating performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of our past or future performance and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.
Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are considered measures not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and therefore are non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of net income to adjusted earnings for the period indicated:

Segments Results of individual operating segments are presented based on our management accounting practices and management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the segments.

Management believes that this is a more meaningful representation of the operating performance of its core businesses, the profitability of the segments and the extent of cash flow generated from these core operations. Such amounts are presented under the caption “Other and Unallocated.” In the evaluation of operating segments results, management does not use any measures of total assets. This presentation is aligned with the management and operating structure of our company. It is also on this basis that the Company’s performance is evaluated internally and by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Net sales totaled $745.6$1,117.4 million and $470.6$750.2 million in the first sixnine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net sales for Composite Fibers and Airlaid Materials (including Mount Holly) decreased by 2.0% and increased by 63.7%0.3% and 44.0%, respectively, on a constant currency basis. The Spunlace segment, formed in connection with the Jacob Holm acquisition, had net sales of approximately $193.3$282.5 million in the first sixnine months of 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our sales to customers in Russia and Ukraine declined as a direct result of the conflict and related sanctions and totaled $31.2 million and $74.0 million, respectively. Sales to customers in Russia and Ukraine were predominantly from the Composite Fibers segment.

Wallcover shipments were below prior year by 49%50.3% due to lower shipments to customers in Russia and Ukraine, resulting from the continuation of the military conflict in this region and prohibition of the export of sanctioned wallcover base paper and tea filter products to Russia. Lower shipments were partially offset by higher selling prices of $32.0$54.7 million. Currency translation was unfavorable $18.0$34.7 million.

Composite Fibers had operating income of $5.4$12.1 million in the first sixnine months of 2022 compared with $27.1$32.9 million in the year-ago period. Lower shipments, primarily in our Dresden facility, negatively impacted results by $9.0 million.

mitigated the impact of rising energy costs. Freight inflation reported as part of raw material, energy and other inflation increased approximately $15.0 million, or 91%, compared to the first nine months in 2021. To help mitigate the substantial energy inflation charges and higher raw material costs, we revised some of our customer contracts to include pass-through costs provisions. Operations were lower $4.0 million dollars mainly driven by market related downtime primarily in our Dresden facility, negatively impacted resultsGerman facilities related to Russia/Ukraine sanctions partially offset by $12.2 million.lower energy consumption and lower spending. As of September 30, 2022, Composite Fibers had approximately 55% of its net sales with contracts with pass-through provisions. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $4.5 million.$7.8 million primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling for which our expenses exceed sales in this currency. The primary drivers of the change in Composite Fibers’ operating income are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):

Airlaid Materials’ net sales increased $105.4$118.3 million in the year-over-year comparison driven by higher shipments in all major product categories and higher selling prices from cost-pass-through arrangements and energy surcharges with customers. Shipments were 32.5%17.8% higher driven by strong growth in the tabletop, wipes, and hygiene product categories, including the benefit from a full sixnine months of Mount Holly in 2022. Currency translation was $14.1$27 million unfavorable.
Airlaid Materials’ operating income, for the first sixnine months of 2022, of $24.2$40.7 million was $8.5$10.3 million higher than the same period in 2021. Higher shipments and product mix positively impacted results by $11.9$12.4 million. Selling price increases of $36.4$59.2 million was $2.4 million short of offsettingfully offset the higher raw material prices and energy inflation costs. In the first nine months of 2022, primary raw material input costs increased $48 million, or 31%, and energy costs increased $11 million, or 73%, compared to the first nine months of 2021. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices, however, energy costs, in general, increased less than broader market indices due to our entering into certain forward purchases which partially mitigated the impact of rising energy costs. We expect prices for both energy and raw materials to remain elevated for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2022, Airlaid Materials had approximately 75% of its net sales with contracts with pass-through provisions. Operations were favorable $1.6$3.0 million driven by higher production, which offset other general inflationary pressures. The impact of currency and related hedging negatively impacted earnings by $2.5$5.2 million. The primary drivers are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):

Spunlace net sales for the first sixnine months of 2022 were approximately $193.3$282.5 million. An operating loss of $3.4$8.1 million was mainly driven by higher raw material and energy costs only partially offset by higher selling prices and energy surcharges. As of September 30, 2022, approximately 50% of this segment’s net sales in 2022 was earned under contracts whose selling price is influenced by pass-through provisions directly related to the price indices of certain key raw materials..
Asset Impairment During the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge for our Spunlace segment of $42.5 million. The Spunlace segment has faced continued inflationary challenges which had escalated since our acquisition of this business in late 2021. Our selling price increases have been insufficient to offset the impact of inflation. Furthermore, the Spunlace segment has been impacted by unexpected supply chain and other operational issues which, in combination with the commercial issues, have resulted in an unexpected increase in operating losses. Although, management expects it will address the commercial, as well as, operational challenges that have impacted the profitability of this segment, the timing to effectuate the necessary changes to improve performance of this segment will be longer than previously expected. As a result of these changes, the Company performed a goodwill assessment this quarter which has prompted the impairment charge.
During the first quarter of 2022, in connection with an assessment of potential impairment of long-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets stemming from the compounding impacts resulting from the Russia/Ukraine military conflict and related sanctions, we recorded a $117.3 million non-cash asset impairment charge related to Composite Fibers' Dresden facility and an impairment of Composite Fibers' goodwill. Dresden is a single-line facility that produces wallcover base paper, the majority of which is directly sold into the Russian and Ukrainian markets. As a direct
- 33 -



result of the economic impacts from the conflict, including disruptions in the underlying financial systems and prohibition of the export of sanctioned wallcover base paper to Russia, management expects a significant reduction in wallcover revenues and associated cash flows for the foreseeable future. In addition, the conflict is expected to significantly impact energy prices and also impact other Composite Fibers products that are subject to export sanctions into Russia. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we had total net sales of wallcover and other products to customers in Russia and Ukraine totaling approximately $95 million. We do not expect significant sales to customers in this region for the foreseeable future as a result of the military conflict, its impact on Ukrainian customers, and the economic sanctions on sales of certain products to customers in Russia. Accordingly, a charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value of the Dresden fixed assets and intangible assets (technological know-how, customer relationships, and an indefinite-lived trade name), along with Composite Fiber's goodwill to fair value.
In addition, as a result of economic sanctions and disruptions to the financial markets, certain customers are not able to satisfy outstanding accounts receivables. As such, during the first quarter of 2022, we recognized bad debt expense of approximately $2.9 million directly related to Russian and Ukrainian customers which is included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had accounts receivable, net of reserves, from customers in this region totaling approximately $2.6$0.9 million which we expect to collect in normal course. However, if circumstances change such that some customers are unable to satisfy their obligations, we may be required to recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods. Furthermore, during the first quarter of 2022, we increased inventory reserves by approximately $1.0
- 34 -



million, primarily related to wallcover products. The charge related to inventory reserves is included in “Cost of products sold” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Substantially all other products which we will no longer beare able to export to Russia due to sanctions can be sold to existing customers outside the Russia/Ukraine region.
Other and Unallocated The amount of operating expense not allocated to a reporting segment in the Segment Financial Information totaled $133.2$185.8 million in the first sixnine months of 2022 compared with $17.3$23.3 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present “adjusted earnings,” unallocated expenses for the first sixnine months of 2022 decreased $0.3$1.8 million compared to the same period in 2021.
Income taxes In the first sixnine months of 2022, our loss from continuing operations totaled $124.2$168.6 million and we recorded an income tax benefit of $13.5$8.6 million. On adjusted pre-tax loss of $2.3$0.2 million, income tax provision was $5.5$11.8 million in the first sixnine months of 2022, which primarily related to reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances for losses for which no tax benefit could be recognized. The comparable amountseffective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by recording a valuation allowance on the net operating losses related to Spunlace operations in Soultz, France. The impact of that valuation allowance was an increase in tax expense of $5.3 million. In the first sixnine months of 2021, were adjusted pre-tax income of $27.5was $40.4 million and income tax expense of $11.0 million, respectively.was $14.4 million.
Foreign Currency We own and operate facilities in Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, and the Philippines. The functional currency of our Canadian operations is the U.S. dollar. However, in Germany, France and Spain, it is the euro, in the UK, it is the British pound sterling, and in the Philippines the functional currency is the peso. On an annual basis, our euro denominated net sales exceeds euro expenses by an estimated €150 million. For the first sixnine months of 2022, the average currency exchange rate was 1.091.07 dollar/euro compared with 1.201.19 in the same period of 2021. With respect to the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Philippine peso, we have differing amounts of inflows and outflows of these currencies, although to a lesser degree than the euro. As a result, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant. The translation of the results from international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The table below summarizes the translation impact on reported results that changes in currency exchange rates had on our non-U.S. based operations from the conversion of these operation’s results for the first sixnine months of 2022.

The reported results are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect the impact of significant items including a goodwill impairment charge, strategic initiatives, CEO transition costs and corporate headquarters relocation costs, among others. On an adjusted earnings basis, a non-GAAP measure, we had a loss from continuing operations of $1.6$4.3 million, or $0.04$0.10 per share for the secondthird quarter of 2022, compared with income of $8.0$9.5 million, or $0.18$0.21 per diluted share, a year ago.
Our secondthird quarter of 2022 operating results reflect: i) the recognition of a $42.5 million goodwill impairment charge related to our Spunlace segment; ii) the continuation of the compounding impacts of the Russia/Ukraine military conflict commencing on February 24, 2022 including the adverse impact of the prohibition of the export of sanctioned products into Russia; ii)iii) the completion of two significant acquisitionsthe Jacob Holm acquisition in 2021, which collectively added $123.2$89.2 million of net sales; iii)iv) the adverse impact of significant inflationary pressures, particularly energy costs, which outpaced our efforts to realizewere largely offset by higher selling prices;prices and iv)energy surcharges; and v) interest expense increased reflecting the acquisition financing.

Segments Results of individual operating segments are presented based on our management accounting practices and management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the segments. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. The costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the segment are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services or are included in “Other and Unallocated” in the table set forth above.
Management evaluates results of operations of the operating segments before certain corporate level costs and the effects of certain gains or losses not considered to be related to the core business operations.

Net sales totaled $364.0$371.8 million and $244.9$279.7 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net sales for Composite Fibers and Airlaid Materials (including Mount Holly) decreased by 4.4%5.0% and increased by 47.7%18.1%,respectively, on a constant currency basis. The Spunlace segment, formed in connection with the Jacob Holm acquisition, had net sales of approximately $96.9$89.2 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our sales to customers in Russia and Ukraine declined as a direct result of the conflict and related sanctions and totaled $7.8 million and $25.2 million, respectively.
Composite Fibers’ net sales decreased $18.3$9.8 million or 12.9%7.1% in the secondthird quarter of 2022, compared to the year-ago quarter. Higher selling prices of $14.4$22.7 million were more than offset by lower shipments of 29.7%.23.8% and unfavorable currency translation of $16.7 million. Wallcover shipments were 54% below prior year by 62% due tofrom continued lower shipments to customers in Russia and Ukraine resulting from the continuation of the geopoliticaldue to ongoing conflict in thisthe region, and prohibitionincluding sanctions prohibiting the sale of the export of sanctionedcertain wallcover and tea filter products into Russia. Currency translation was unfavorable $12.0 million.

Composite Fibers had operating income for the secondthird quarter of $5.8$6.6 million compared with $11.1$5.8 million operating income in the secondthird quarter of 2021. Lower shipments and market-related downtime, primarily in our Dresden facility, negatively impacted results by $6.4 million. Higher selling prices and energy surcharges of $14.4$22.7 million fell $2.5$1.6 million short of fully recovering continued inflation in energy, raw material, and freight of $16.9$24.3 million. Lower shipments negatively impacted income by $2.7 million. Market-related downtime, primarily in our German facilities, was more than offset by lower depreciation, lower overall spending, and lower energy consumption, positively impacting results by a net $1.8 million. In the third quarter of 2022, energy costs increased $7 million, or 45%, and primary raw material input costs increased $11 million, or 19%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices, however, energy costs, in general, increased less than broader market indices due to our entering into certain forward purchases which partially mitigated the impact of rising energy costs. Freight inflation reported as part of raw material, energy & other inflation increased approximately $7 million, or 118%, compared to the same quarter in 2021. We expect prices for energy, raw materials, and freight to remain elevated for the foreseeable future. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $3.6$3.3 million mainly driven byprimarily due to the weakening of the British Pound.pound sterling for which our expenses exceed sales in this currency. The primary drivers of the change in Composite Fibers’ operating income are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):

HigherLower shipments positively impactedwere more than offset by favorable mix, improving results by $3.9$0.5 million. Selling price increases and energy surcharges of $18.0$22.8 million fully offset the higher raw material and energy costs of $20.2 million. In the third quarter of 2022, primary raw material input costs increased $16 million, or 21%, and energy costs increased approximately $5 million, or 68%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices, however, energy costs, in general, increased less than broader market indices due to our entering into certain forward purchases which improved results by $0.8 million.partially mitigated the impact of rising energy costs.

Spunlace net sales for the secondthird quarter were approximately $96.9$89.2 million. An operating loss of $1.8$4.7 million was mainly driven by higher raw material and energy costs only partially offset by higher selling prices and energy surcharges.
Other and Unallocated The amount of operating expense not allocated to a reporting segment in the Segment Financial Information totaled $7.0$52.6 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022 compared with $11.4$6.0 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present “adjusted earnings,” unallocated expenses for the secondthird quarter of 2022 increased $1.3$1.5 million compared to the secondthird quarter of 2021.

Income taxes In the secondthird quarter of 2022, our incomeloss from continuing operations totaled $0.8$44.3 million and we recorded an income tax provision of $3.3$4.9 million. On adjusted pre-tax income of $1.6$2.0 million, the income tax expense was $3.2$6.3 million in the secondthird quarter of 2022, which primarily related to reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances for losses for which no tax benefit could be recognized. The comparable amountseffective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by recording a valuation allowance on the net operating losses related to Spunlace operations in Soultz, France. The impact of that valuation allowance was an increase in tax expense of $5.3 million. In the samethird quarter of 2021, were adjusted pre-tax income of $12.0was $12.9 million and income tax expense of $4.0 million, respectively.was $3.4 million.
Foreign Currency We own and operate facilities in Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, and the Philippines. The functional currency of our Canadian operations is the U.S. dollar. However, in Germany, France and Spain, it is the Euro,euro, in the UK, it is the British pound sterling, and in the Philippines the functional currency is the peso. On an annual basis, our euro denominated net sales exceeds euro expenses by an estimated €150 million. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the average currency exchange rate was 1.071.01 dollar/euro compared with 1.191.18 in the same period of 2021. With respect to the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Philippine peso, we have differing amounts of inflows and outflows of these currencies, although to a lesser degree than the euro. As a result, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant. The translation of the results from international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The table below summarizes the translation impact on reported results that changes in currency exchange rates had on our non-U.S. based operations from the conversion of these operation’s results for the secondthird quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 has been restated to add back share-based compensation consistent with our amended credit agreement. The share-based compensation adjustment represents the non-cash amount of share-based compensation expense included in results of operations.
EBITDA is a measure used by management to assess our operating performance and is calculated using income (loss) from continuing operations and excludes interest expense, interest income, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated using EBITDA and further excludes certain items management considers to be unrelated to
- 41 -



the company’s core operations. The adjustments include goodwill and other asset impairment charges, costs of strategic initiatives, certain cost optimization and restructuring activities, CEO transition costs, corporate headquarters relocation expenses, as well as the elimination of gains

from sales of timberlands. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that excludes costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Net cash used by investing activities was $18.1$25.5 million compared with $181.1$186.0 million in the same period a year ago. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we used $172.3 million for the Mount.Mount Holly acquisition. Capital expenditures totaled $22.7$30.1 million and $11.2$18.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are expected to be $45$35 million to $50$40 million, including $7$3 million to $8$4 million for Spunlace integration, for the full year 2022.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $33.5$52.1 million in the first sixnine months of 2022 compared with $165.1$151.3 million in the same period of 2021. The change in financing activities primarily reflects a decrease in borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. In 2021, we used borrowings under the revolving credit facility to pay for the Mount Holly acquisition. In 2022, we used borrowings under the revolving credit facility for working capital and other operating expenditures.
As discussed in Item 1 - Financial Information, Note - 16, our Credit Agreement contains a number of customary compliance covenants. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement, was 5.3x,5.7x, well within the maximum limit allowed under our Credit Agreement. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, among which are the termination of the agreement and accelerated repayment of the outstanding borrowings plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Credit Agreement. As discussed in Note 16 - “Long Term Debt,” on May 9, 2022, we amended our Credit Agreement to increase the maximum leverage ratio to 6.75 to 1.0 until the quarter ended December 31, 2023, after which the maximum ratio will step down to 4.0 to 1.0.
Details of our outstanding long-term indebtedness are set forth under Item 1 - Financial Statements – Note 16 -“Long-Term Debt."
Financing activities include cash used for common stock dividends. In the first sixnine months of 2022 and 2021, we used $12.5$18.8 million and $12.0$18.2 million, respectively, of cash for dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors determines what, if any, dividends will be paid to our shareholders. Dividend payment decisions are based upon then-existing factorsDuring the three months ended September 30, 2022, our Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly cash dividend to focus efforts on optimizing the operational and conditions and, therefore, historical trendsfinancials results of dividend payments are not necessarily indicative of future payments.the business.
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment, as well as human health and safety. At various times, we have incurred significant costs to comply with these regulations and we could incur additional costs as new regulations are developed or regulatory priorities change.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had ample liquidity consisting of $71.5$95.3 million of cash on hand and $131.6$31.7 million of capacity under our revolving credit facility. We expect to meet all of our near and long-term cash needs from a combination of operating cash flow, cash and cash equivalents, our existing credit facility and other long-term debt.
In October 2022, our credit rating was downgraded by S&P Global Ratings to CCC+ based on its latest assessment of our business. Although the downgrade does not impact our current interest costs or cause a default on any of our debt, it may impact our cost or our ability to refinance our debt or issue new debt in the future on terms as favorable as we might otherwise be able to achieve without the downgrade.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had not entered into any off-balance-sheet arrangements. Financial derivative instruments, to which we are a party, and guarantees of indebtedness, which solely consist of obligations of subsidiaries, are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets included herein in Item 1 – Financial Statements.

The table above presents the average principal outstanding and related interest rates for the next five years for debt outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Fair values included herein have been determined based upon rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Our market risk exposure primarily results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had $812.6$819.8 million of long-term debt, of which 33.9%35.1% was at variable interest rates. Variable-rate debt represents borrowings under our credit agreement that accrues interest based on one-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR or one-month Euro LIBOR indexes, but in no event less than zero, plus the applicable margin. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate paid was equal to 2.44%2.81%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on variable rate debt would increase annual interest expense by $1.6$2.9 million. In the event rates are 100 basis points lower, interest expense would be $0.5$1.8 million lower.
As part of our overall risk management practices, we enter into financial derivatives primarily designed to either i) hedge foreign currency risks associated with forecasted transactions – “cash flow hedges”; or ii) mitigate the impact that changes in currency exchange rates have on intercompany financing transactions and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables – “foreign currency hedges.” For a more complete discussion of this activity, refer to Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 18.
We are subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent our operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.dollar. On an annual basis, our Euroeuro denominated revenue exceeds euro expenses by an estimated €150 million. With respect to the British Pound Sterling,pound sterling, Canadian Dollar,dollar, and Philippine Peso,peso, we have differing amounts of inflows and outflows of these currencies, although to a lesser degree than the Euro.euro. As a result, particularly with respect to the Euro,euro, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant.
Long- and indefinite-lived Assets We evaluate the recoverability of our long- and indefinite-lived assets, including plant, equipment, timberlands, goodwill, and other intangible assets periodically or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present.

The fair value of our reporting units, which are also our operating segments, is determined using a market approach and a discounted cash flow model. Our evaluations include a variety of qualitative factors and analyses based on estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the underlying assets, trends or other determinants of fair value. If the value of an asset determined by these evaluations is less than its carrying amount, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset. Our Airlaid Materials segment’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value at the time of its last valuation performed in connection with the last annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2021. Our Composite Fibers segment, having performed its last valuation and having recognized a goodwill impairment in the first quarter of 2022, has a fair value that approximates its carrying value. At September 30, 2022, the book value of Composite Fibers’ goodwill was approximately $19.2 million. Our Spunlace segment, which was formed in conjunction with the Jacob Holm acquisition on October 29, 2021, also hasperformed a fairvaluation in the third quarter of 2022 driven by the financial developments subsequent to the acquisition and as a result recognized a $42.5 million impairment charge, which impaired all the goodwill in this segment. The Company utilized both a market approach and an income approach, relying on a discounted present value that approximates its carrying value.cash flow model applying a 11% discount rate and a perpetual revenue growth rate of 2.5%, for purposes of estimating the Spunlace segment goodwill. Both Composite Fibers’ and Spunlace’s fair value, including the asset groups within each operating segment, could be impacted by factors such as unexpected changes in inflation, significant disruptions in the delivery of energy to our sites, particularly in Europe, or the Company’s inability to continue tosuccessfully increase selling prices in response to inflationary pressures. Future adverse
- 43 -



changes such as these or in market conditions or poor operating results of the related business may indicate an inability to recover the carrying value of the assets, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future. The Company will be performing its annual assessment of goodwill and long-lived assets across all its operating segments in the fourth quarter of 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our Chief Executive Officer and our principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following updated risk factor should be considered in addition to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K. Except as described herein, there have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Approximately $95 million of our net sales in 2021, or 7.3% of our net sales in 2021, was earned from customers located in Russia and Ukraine. The geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russia/Ukraine military conflict, including government-imposed sanctions and the current macroeconomic climate in Russia and Ukraine, have adversely impacted both demand for our products and our ability to deliver products to this region, as well as, limited customers' access to financial resources and their ability to satisfy obligations to us. For example, as a direct result of the military conflict, economic sanctions, and the disruptions in the region’s financial systems, our management expects a significant reduction in wallcover revenues and cash flows, for the foreseeable future, from our facility located in Dresden, Germany that produces wallcover paper, a significant portion of which historically was sold into the Ukraine and Russian markets. Certain wallcover base paper, together with certain filtration products produced by our Composite Fibers segment, are subject to sanction restrictions and currently are unable to be sold into the Russian market. As a result, during the first sixnine months of 2022, we recorded a $117.3$159.9 million non-cash asset impairment charge related to assets of our Dresden facility and an impairment of our Composite Fibers business' goodwill. Moreover, certain customers have not been able to satisfy outstanding accounts receivables and, as such, during the first sixnine months of 2022, we recognized bad debt expense of approximately $2.9$2.6 million directly related to Russian and Ukrainian customers. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we had accounts receivable, net of reserves, from customers in this region totaling approximately $2.6$0.9 million which we expect to collect in normal course.
In addition, we operate manufacturing sites elsewhere in Europe that have been adversely impacted as a result of the military conflict in Ukraine and related geopolitical events and sanctions. In many instances, these sites depend on the availability of natural gas for use in the production of products. The supply of a substantial portion of the natural gas used may originate from Russia. We expect that shortages in supply and increases in costs of natural gas will adversely impact our ability to operate these sites in an efficient and cost-effective manner, for the foreseeable future.
The risk of cyber-security incidents and cyber attacks has increased in connection with the ongoing conflict, driven by justifications such as retaliation for the sanctions imposed in conjunction with the conflict. It is possible that such incidents or attacks could have collateral effects on additional critical infrastructure and financial institutions globally, which could adversely affect our operations and could increase the frequency and severity of cyber-based attacks against our information technology systems. The proliferation of malware from the conflict, into systems unrelated to the conflict, or cyberattacks against U.S. companies in retaliation for U.S. sanctions against Russia or U.S. support of Ukraine, could also adversely affect our operations and our supply chain.
To the extent the current conflict adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations, however, due to the continually evolving nature of the conflict, the potential impact that the conflict could have on such risk factors, and others that cannot yet be identified, remains uncertain.
In the event that current geopolitical tensions fail to abate, or deteriorate further, or additional governmental sanctions are enacted against the Russian economy or its banking and monetary systems, we may face additional adverse consequences to our business and results of operations. Even if the conflict moderates or a resolution between Ukraine and Russia is reached, we expect that we will continue to experience ongoing adverse consequences to our business, financial condition and results of operation resulting from the conflict for the foreseeable future, including because certain of the economic and other sanctions imposed, or that may be imposed, against Russia may continue for a period of time after any resolution has been reached.
