4.CLOSURE OF OBER-SCHMITTEN, GERMANY FACILITY
In the second quarter of 2023, we announced our plans to close Composite Fibers’ Ober-Schmitten, Germany facility as part of the Company’s turnaround strategy that aimed at improving financial performance of the Company’s overall business. Pending the completion of negotiations with the Ober-Schmitten Economic Committee and Works Council (“Works Council”), we expect to cease operations at the site during the third quarter of 2023 with some final finishing, shipping wind-down and decommissioning to follow. In connection with the planned closure, we recognized the following costs which are included in our condensed consolidated statements of income:

Severance and benefit continuation10,368 10,368 
Other costs424 373 
Total$10,792 $10,741 
The Company now estimates that it will incur approximately $10.4 million of cash expenses in connection with employee severance and benefit costs associated with the termination of the employees at the Facility and has recognized an expense for this amount included in “Cost of Goods Sold” in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. This estimate is based on the Company’s estimate of the cost of the current proposed compromise of interest and social plan made to the Works Council. As negotiations between the Company and the Works Council have not been finalized, the total amount of severance and benefit continuation costs that will ultimately be recognized is subject to change until such time as negotiations with the local works council are concluded. The accrued and unpaid severance and benefit continuation totaled approximately $10.4 million as of June 30, 2023.

The Company has also recognized other shutdown related costs at the Facility, related to potential contract termination costs, site closure costs, and other associated costs, and the Company expects that it will continue to incur other shutdown related costs. The Company has recognized such other costs of approximately $0.4 million, which are predominately non-cash expenses and included in “Selling, general & administrative expenses” in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company is currently unable to make a good faith determination of an estimate of the amount or range of the amounts of the charges expected to be recorded in connection with other major types of cost associated with the closure (such as contract termination costs and other associated costs) or the amount or range of amounts of such charges that will result in future cash expenditures.

6.GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSET IMPAIRMENT
No impairment charges were recognized during the first six months of 2023.
- 9 -



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 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 therestrictions on our ability to export of sanctioned wallcover base paper to Russia due to related sanctions, management expectsexpected 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 impactimpacted other Composite Fibers products that are also subject to export sanctions into Russia.this region, and continued to significantly impact energy prices. 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 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, 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, 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 six months of 2022, we recognized bad debt expense of approximately $2.9 million directly related to Russian and Ukrainian customers. Furthermore, during the first six months of 2022, we increased inventory reserves by approximately $1.0 million, primarily related to wallcover products.

7.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a loss in discontinued operations of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, primarily related to an insurance claim and legal costs. For both the three and six months ended June 30 2022, we recognized income of $0.4 million which primarily represents the successful appeal of a sales and use tax audit partially offset by legal costs. For 2021, the $0.1 million loss is primarily related to legal costs.

10.STOCK-BASEDSHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 5, 2022, upon2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Board and shareholder approval,shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Glatfelter Corporation 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan became effective(the “Equity Plan”) to increase the number of shares available for grant under the Equity Plan (as amended and is a successor plan torestated, the P. H. Glatfelter Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan“Amended Plan”) (collectively, the “LTIP”). The LTIP continuesis a long-term incentive plan, pursuant to provide forwhich awards may be granted to full-time or part-time employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants of the issuanceCompany or any subsidiary or affiliate of Glatfelter commonthe Company, including stock to eligible participants in the form ofoptions, stock-only stock appreciation rights (“SOSARs”), restricted stock awards, restricted stock units restricted stock(“RSUs”), performance share awards non-qualified stock options, performance shares, incentive stock options(“PSAs”), and performance units. Furthermore, the LTIP increasesother share-based awards. The Amended Plan was adopted primarily to increase the number of shares previouslyof Company common stock reserved for equity-based awards by 675,000 shares (in addition to any shares that remained available for issuance by 1,400,000 shares.awards under the Equity Plan as of the Effective Date and any shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the Equity Plan as of the Effective Date). As of June 30, 2022,2023, there were 2,670,5232,386,035 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”)RSUs, PSAs and stock-only stock appreciation rights.SOSARs.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Awards
In the first six months of 2023 and 2022, we issued awards to employees ofgranted RSUs and PSAs to employees under our LTIP. In both 2023 and 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 2023 and 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.
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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we made a $5.8 million lump-sum payment to our former CEO under the terms of his non-qualified pension plan. In accordance with pension settlement accounting, we recorded a $0.6 million settlement charge reflecting the recognition of amounts previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
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 six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, we had a pretax loss from continuing operations of $124.2 million and income tax benefit of $13.5 million. The income tax benefit includes $19.2 million of deferred tax benefit associated with the asset impairment charge and related bad debt and inventory reserves (refer to Note 6). Absent these charges, the Company had pre-tax loss of $2.9$39.7 million and income tax expense of $5.7 million, which$10.1 million. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by the jurisdictional mix of pretax results among the Company and its subsidiaries primarily by the pretaxand losses in the U.S. which generated no tax benefit.benefit in domestic and certain foreign jurisdictions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022,2023, we recorded an increase in our federalthe valuation allowance of $4.5$11.4 million for U.S. federal and certain 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.
- 15 -



As of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had $56.8$60.5 million and $55.7$56.5 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2022,2023, if such benefits were to be recognized, approximately $53.0$57.4 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$8.5 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$400.0 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,March 30, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement.Agreement which reduced the Revolving Credit Facility to $250.0 million and had us fully extinguish the €220.0 million Term Loan. The amendment: i) increasesmodifies the permitted maximum“leverage ratio” to be the ratio of consolidated total netsenior secured debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (“leverage ratio”); ii) increases the maximum interest rate borrowing margin to be applied to the applicable index by 25275 basis points; and iii) pledges as collateral substantially all domestic and Canadian assets to secure obligations owed under the Credit Agreement.Agreement, as well as, on a second lien basis, the European assets that secure the AG Loan (as defined below). As amended, we are obligated to maintain a maximumleverage ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 6.75under 4.25 to 1.0 untilthrough the quarter ended December 31, 2023, after which the maximum leverage ratio steps2024, stepping down to 4.0 to 1.0.1.0 at March 31, 2025, and 3.50 to 1.0 at March 31, 2026.
Borrowing rates for the Revolving Loans are determined at our option at the time of each borrowing. For all U.S. Dollar denominated Revolving Loan borrowings, the borrowing rate is either, (a) the bank’s base rate which is equal to the greater of i) the prime rate; ii) the overnight bank funding rate plus 50 basis points; or iii) the daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus 100 basis points plus an applicable spread over either i), ii) or iii) ranging from 250 basis points to 400 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio; or (b) the daily Term SOFR-rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 350 basis points to 500 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio. For non-U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings, interest is based on the Euro-rate or EURIBOR-rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 350 basis points to 500 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of customary covenants for financings of this type that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of or create liens on assets, incur additional indebtedness, limits certain intercompany financing arrangements, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring a minimum debt coverage ratio.
Revolving Loans borrowings are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pound Sterling, and Canadian Dollars.
All remaining principal outstanding and accrued interest coverage ratiounder the Revolving Credit Facility will be due 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 indebtednesspayable on September 2, 2026.
As of June 30, 2022,2023, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement, was 5.3x. 3.4x. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the Revolving Credit Agreement,Facility, among which areis the termination of the agreementagreement.

On March 30, 2023, we entered into a €250.0 million Term Loan with certain affiliates of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (“AG Loan”). The net proceeds from the AG Loan were used to extinguish the €220.0 million Term Loan, to repay a portion of outstanding revolving borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, for working capital and general corporate purposes and to pay estimated fees and expenses.
The AG Loan will mature on March 23, 2029. Interest on the repaymentAG Loan accrues at the rate of 11.25% per annum and is payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 each year, commencing on June 30, 2023.
The AG Loan is prepayable, in whole or in part, at any time at the prepayable premium specified in the Term Loan Agreement. Prior to September 30, 2024, we may prepay some or all of the outstanding borrowings plus accruedAG Loan at a "make-whole" premium as specified.
Under the terms of the AG Loan, we have pledged as collateral substantially all assets of our subsidiaries in Germany, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Malta and unpaid interestSwitzerland, as well as, on a second lien basis, the domestic and Canadian assets that secure the Revolving Credit Facility.
All covenants contained in the AG Loan agreement are substantially consistent with the Credit Agreement.
On October 25, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by each of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees our obligations under the Credit Agreement, and/or certain other indebtedness.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 25, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of October 25, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.
The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to pay the purchase price of the Jacob Holm acquisition, to repay certain indebtedness of Jacob Holm, to repay outstanding revolving borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and to pay estimated fees and expenses.
The Notes will mature on November 15, 2029. Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 4.750% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2022.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture. Prior to November 15, 2024, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at a "make-whole" premium as specified in the Indenture.

In addition, the Notes contain cross default provisions that could result in all such notes becoming due and payable in the event of a failure to repay debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement at maturity or a default under the Credit Agreement that accelerates the debt outstanding thereunder. As of March 31, 2023, we met all of the requirements of our debt covenants.
Glatfelter Gernsbach GmbH (“Gernsbach”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a series of borrowing agreements with IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, Düsseldorf (“IKB”). Each of the borrowings require quarterly repayments of principal and interest and provide for representations, warranties and covenants customary for financings of these types. The financial covenants of these borrowings are calculated by reference to the Credit Agreement. These borrowings were fully extinguished on March 14, 2023.
In 2021, Gernsbach also entered into two fixed-rate non-amortizing term loans with certain financial institutions. Similar to the IKB loans discussed above, the financial covenants of these borrowings are calculated by reference to the Credit Agreement. On February 28, 2023, one of these term loans for €20.0 million was fully extinguished. The remaining term loan has a principal balance of $3.0 million and matures in March 2024.
Aggregated unamortized deferred debt issuance costs incurred in connection with all of our outstanding debt totaled $18.9 million at June 30, 2023. The deferred costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the

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 June 30, 2022,2023, 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.the EURIBOR-rate. At termination, we recognized a deferred gain of $0.4 million that will bewas amortized into interest expense through December 2022.

During the first six months of 20222023 and 2021,2022, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $3.7 million and a pre-tax gain of $15.7 million and $7.8 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 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.”
The following table summarizes the amount of income or (loss) from derivative instruments recognized in our results of operations for the periods indicated and the line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income where the results are recorded:

We expect substantially all of the amounts recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income will be recorded in results of operations within the next 12 to 18 months and the amount ultimately recognized will vary depending on actual market rates.
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.
- 25 -



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 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 June 30, 2022,2023, the balance in the escrow is less than amounts due under the fixed-price contract by approximately $1.3$1.1 million. Our obligation to pay this difference is secured by a letter of credit.
At June 30, 2022,2023, the escrow account balance totaled $8.7$8.9 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$14.2 million at June 30, 2022,2023, of which $2.2$2.0 million is recorded in the accompanying June 30, 20222023 condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Environmental liabilities” and the remaining $12.6$12.2 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 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 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("20212022 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:
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;
- 29 -



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;
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

Six months ended June 30, 20222023 versus the six months ended June 30, 20212022
Overview For the first six months of 2022,2023, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $49.8 million, or $1.11 per share compared with a loss of $110.8 million or $2.47 per share compared with income of $9.9 million and $0.22 per diluted share in the year earlier period. The following table sets forth summarized consolidated results of operations:

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 and other asset impairment charge related to our Dresden operations and Composite Fibers segment,debt refinancing, turnaround strategy costs, strategic initiatives, corporate headquarters relocationCEO transition costs, and cost optimization, among others. On an adjusted earnings basis, a non-GAAP measure, we had a loss from continuing operations of $7.8 million, or $0.17 per share for the first six months of 2022, compared with income of $16.5 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, a year ago.
Our operating results for the first six months of 20222023 reflect: i) the impact of Russia/Ukraine military conflict which commenced on February 24, 2022market softness and customer destocking resulting in lower sales volumes and sales, as well as, lower production, ii) higher interest expense stemming from the compounding impacts, including sanctions on the sale of certain products into Russia, adversely impacted sales, prices paid for energy, production and collection of receivables and resulteddebt refinancing in the recordingfirst quarter of a $117.3 million asset impairment charge; ii)2023, iii) costs incurred related to the completionplanned closure of two significant acquisitions in 2021, which collectively added $246.9 million of net sales; iii) the adverse impact of significant inflationary pressures, particularly energy costs, which outpaced our efforts to realize higher selling prices;Ober-Schmitten, Germany facility and iv) interest expense increased reflecting the acquisition financing.our turnaround strategy.
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we evaluate our performance using financial metrics not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”). On an adjusted earnings basis, a non-GAAP measure, we had an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $26.3 million, or $0.58 per share.share for the first six months of 2023, compared with a loss of $7.8 million, or $0.17 per share, a year ago. Our Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $50.2 million for the same period in 2022. 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 certain long-lived assets of our Dresden, Germany facility and goodwill of our Composite Fibers reporting segment.
Turnaround strategy costs. This adjustment reflects costs incurred in connection with the Company's turnaround strategy initiated in 2022 under its new chief executive officer to drive operational and financial improvement. These costs are primarily related to professional services fees and employee separation costs.
Russia/Ukraine conflict charges. This adjustment represents a non-cash charge recorded to reduce the carrying amount of accounts receivable and inventory directly related to the Russia/Ukraine military conflict.
- 30 -




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 -Ober-Schmitten closure costs. These adjustments reflect employee separation costs and professional and other costs directly associated with the closure of the Ober-Schmitten, Germany facility.

Debt refinancing costs.
Represents charges to write-off unamortized debt issuance costs in connection with the extinguishment of the Company’s €220.0 million Term Loan and IKB loans, as well as the amendment to the Company's credit facility. These costs also include an early repayment penalty related to the extinguishment of the IKB loans.


CEO transition costs.
This adjustment reflects a non-cash pension settlement charge associated with the separation of our former CEO related to a lump-sum distribution made in Q1 2023 under the terms of his non-qualified pension plan agreement.
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.COVID-19 ERC recovery. This adjustment represents a non-cash charge recorded to reducereflects the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets, intangible assetsbenefit recognized from employee retention credits claimed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and goodwill of our Dresden facilityEconomic Security Act (“CARES”) Act and the Composite Fibers reporting segment. The impairment wasTaxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and professional services fees 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 charge recorded to reduce the carrying amount of accounts receivable and inventory directly related to the Russia/Ukraine military conflict.associated with claiming this benefit.
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.

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 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 million and $470.6 million in the first six 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%, respectively, on a constant currency basis. The Spunlace segment, formed in connection with the Jacob Holm acquisition, had net sales of approximately $193.3 million in the first six months of 2022.
Composite Fibers’ net sales decreased $23.7 million or 8.4% in the first six months of 2022, compared to the year-ago quarter. Wallcover shipments were below prior year by 49% 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 million. Currency translation was unfavorable $18.0 million.

Composite Fibers had operating income of $5.4 million in the first six months of 2022 compared with $27.1 million in the year-ago period. Higher selling prices and energy surcharges of $32.0 million fell $14.0 million short of recovering continued inflation in energy and raw material. Lower shipments and market related downtime, primarily in our Dresden facility, negatively impacted results by $12.2 million. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $4.5 million. The primary drivers of the change in Composite Fibers’ operating income are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):
- 32 -



glt-20220630_g2.jpg

Airlaid Materials’ net sales increased $105.4 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 with customers. Shipments were 32.5% higher driven by strong growth in the tabletop, wipes, and hygiene product categories, including the benefit from a full six months of Mount Holly in 2022. Currency translation was $14.1 million unfavorable.
Airlaid Materials’ operating income, for the first six months of 2022, of $24.2 million was $8.5 million higher than the same period in 2021. Higher shipments and product mix positively impacted results by $11.9 million. Selling price increases of $36.4 million was $2.4 million short of offsetting the higher raw material prices and energy inflation costs. Operations were favorable $1.6 million driven by higher production, which offset other general inflationary pressures. The impact of currency and related hedging negatively impacted earnings by $2.5 million. The primary drivers are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):
glt-20220630_g3.jpg

Spunlace net sales for the first six months were approximately $193.3 million. An operating loss of $3.4 million was mainly driven by higher raw material and energy costs only partially offset by higher selling prices and energy surcharges.
Asset Impairment 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 six months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we had accounts receivable, net of reserves, from customers in this region totaling approximately $2.6 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2022. Substantially all other products which we will no longer be 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 million in the first six months of 2022 compared with $17.3 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present “adjusted earnings,” unallocated expenses for the first six months of 2022 decreased $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2021.
Income taxes In the first six months of 2022, our loss from continuing operations totaled $124.2 million and we recorded an income tax benefit of $13.5 million. On adjusted pre-tax loss of $2.3 million, income tax provision was $5.5 million in the first six 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 amounts in the first six months of 2021 were adjusted pre-tax income of $27.5 million and income tax expense of $11.0 million, respectively.
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 six months of 2022, the average currency exchange rate was 1.09 dollar/euro compared with 1.20 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 six months of 2022.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 versus the three months ended June 30, 2021
Overview For the second quarter of 2022, we reported loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per share compared with income of $1.5 million and $0.03 per diluted share in the year earlier period. The following table sets forth summarized consolidated results of operations:

The reported results are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect the impact of significant items including strategic initiatives 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 million, or $0.04 per share for the second quarter of 2022, compared with income of $8.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, a year ago.
Our second quarter of 2022 operating results reflect: i) 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) the completion of two significant acquisitions in 2021, which collectively added $123.2 million of net sales; iii) the adverse impact of significant inflationary pressures, particularly energy costs, which outpaced our efforts to realize higher selling prices; and iv) interest expense increased reflecting the acquisition financing.

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 the company’s core operations. The adjustments include, among others, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, the costs of strategic initiatives, turnaround strategy costs, Ober-Schmitten closure costs, CEO transition costs, and share-based compensation expense, as well as the elimination of gains from sales of timberlands, among others. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that excludes costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Net sales for Airlaid Materials and Composite Fibers and Airlaid Materials (including Mount Holly) decreased by 4.4% and increased by 47.7%8.9% and 2.0%, respectively, on a constant currency basis. The Spunlace segment, formed in connection with the Jacob Holm acquisition, hadsegment'’s net sales of approximately $96.9decreased by 8.6% on a constant currency basis.

Airlaid Materials’ net sales increased $18.8 million in the second quarteryear-over-year comparison mainly driven by higher selling prices from cost-pass-through arrangements with customers and pricing actions to recover significant inflation in raw materials and energy. Shipments were 5.6% lower mainly due to feminine hygiene and tabletop categories and currency translation was unfavorable by $1.8 million.

Airlaid Materials’ first six months operating income of $23.6 million was $0.5 million lower when compared to the first six months of 2022. Lower shipments lowered r
Composite Fibers’esults by $1.2 million. Selling price increases and energy surcharges of $32.2 million more than offset higher raw material and energy costs of $29.5 million. In the first six months of 2023, primary raw material input costs increased $28 million, or 19%, and energy costs increased $1 million, or 7%, compared to the first six months of 2022. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices, and energy prices were less volatile with the government legislation in Europe capping energy prices. We expect prices for both energy and raw materials to steadily decline in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, Airlaid Materials had approximately 74% of its net sales decreased $18.3with contracts with pass-through provisions. Operations were unfavorable by $3.6 million or 12.9%mainly driven by lower production to manage customer demand as some customers slowed ordering patterns to manage inventory levels built up at the end of 2022 to avoid anticipated energy and supply chain disruptions in the second quarterbeginning of 2022,2023. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $1.7 million.

In the first six months of 2023, energy costs increased $2.7 million, or 7%, and primary raw material input costs increased $9.6 million, or 10%, compared to the first six months of 2022. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices, and energy prices were less volatile with the government legislation in Europe capping energy prices. We expect prices for both energy and raw materials to steadily decline in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, Composite Fibers had approximately 46% of its net sales with contracts with pass-through provisions. Operations was unfavorable by $0.9 million mainly driven by lower production volume to match customer demand and manage inventory levels, largely offset by cost savings from headcount reduction actions taken related to the turnaround strategy, lower energy consumption due to lower production volume and lower depreciation expense due to the Dresden and Ober-Schmitten asset impairments in 2022. The Ober-Schmitten site negatively impacted year-over-year results by $5.5 million. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $3.6 million mainly driven by weakening of the British Pound.$0.1 million.

Asset Impairment
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.

months of 2023, the average currency exchange rate was 1.08 dollar/euro compared with 1.09 in the same period of 2022. 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.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 versus the three months ended June 30, 2022
Overview For the second quarter of 2023, we reported a loss from continuing operations of $36.6 million, or $0.82 per share compared with a loss of $2.5 million or $0.05 per share in the same period in 2022. The following table sets forth summarized consolidated results of operations:

Net loss(36,940)(2,052)

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 debt refinancing, turnaround strategy costs, strategic initiatives, CEO transition costs, and cost optimization, among others. Our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2023 reflect: i) the impact of market softness and customer destocking resulting in lower sales volumes and sales, as well as, lower production, ii) higher interest expense stemming from the debt refinancing in the first quarter of 2023, iii) costs incurred related to the planned closure of our Ober-Schmitten, Germany facility and our turnaround strategy.
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we evaluate our performance using financial metrics not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”). On an adjusted earnings basis, a non-GAAP measure, we had an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $20.5 million, or $(0.45) per share for the second quarter of 2023, compared with a loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.04) per share, a year ago. Our Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP measure, was $17.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $27.2 million for the same period in 2022. 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 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.

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 the company’s core operations. The adjustments include, among others, Ober-Schmitten closure costs, turnaround strategy costs, strategic initiative costs, corporate headquarters relocation expenses, and share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that excludes costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

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 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 for Airlaid Materials and Composite Fibers increased by 8.9% and 2.0%, respectively, on a constant currency basis. The Spunlace segment'’s net sales decreased by 8.6% on a constant currency basis.

Airlaid Materials’ second quarter net sales increased $8.8 million in the year-over-year comparison mainly driven by higher selling prices from cost pass-through arrangements and pricing actions to recover significant inflation in raw materials and energy. Shipments were 3.5% lower mainly due to the feminine hygiene category where feminine hygiene customers were destocking inventory and closely managing inventory levels. Currency translation was favorable by $1.6 million.

Airlaid Materials’ second quarter operating income of $9.7 million was $2.2 million lower when compared to the second quarter of 2022. Shipments were lower primarily in the feminine hygiene category with some offset in wipes and tabletop categories, lowering results by $1.1 million. Selling price increases and energy surcharges of $11.7 million offset the higher raw material and energy costs of $11.5 million. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, primary raw material input costs increased $11.0 million, or 16%, and energy costs was in-line with the second quarter of 2022. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices and energy prices were less volatile with the government legislation in Europe capping energy prices. We expect prices for both energy and raw materials to steadily decline in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, Airlaid Materials had approximately 74% of its net sales with contracts with pass-through provisions. Operations were unfavorable by $2.1 million primarily due to a fire at our Fort Smith, Arkansas facility in June and wage inflation. The impact of currency and related hedging positively impacted earnings by $0.9 million. The primary drivers of the change in Airlaid Materials’ operating income are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):

Composite Fibers’ revenue was $2.4 million higher in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the year-ago quarter due to higher selling prices of $5.5 million, partly offset by unfavorable mix. Shipments were up 3.0% on strong wallcover sales which was substantially offset by lower food and beverage, composite laminates and metallized products shipments. Currency translation was favorable by $1.4 million.

Composite Fibers had operating income for the second quarter of $0.9 million compared with operating income of $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. Higher selling prices and energy surcharges more than offset the continued inflation in energy and raw materials and was a net favorable benefit to results of $1.7 million. The strong wallcover shipments were more than offset by lower shipments of higher margin food and beverage and composite laminates categories that negatively impacted income by $1.1 million. In the second quarter of 2023, energy costs increased $1.6 million, or 11%, and primary raw material input costs increased $2.2 million, or 5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices, however, and energy prices were less volatile with the government legislation in Europe capping energy prices. We expect prices for both energy and raw materials to steadily decline in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, freight inflation reported as part of raw material, energy and other inflation decreased as global supply chain disruptions experienced in 2022 significantly improved in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, Composite Fibers had approximately 46% of its net sales with contracts with pass-through provisions. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, operations was unfavorable compared to the second quarter of 2022 by $5.0 million mainly driven by lower production volume to match customer demand and manage inventory levels.

Spunlace’s revenue was $17.5 million lower in the second quarter of 2023, compared to the year-ago quarter as lower shipments of 21.5% were partially offset by higher selling prices of $2.1 million and favorable currency translation of $0.5 million.

Spunlace had an operating loss of $1.3 million in the second quarter of this year compared with an operating loss of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2022.In the second quarter of 2023, primary raw material input costs were in-line with Q2 2022 and energy costs decreased $0.6 million, or 8%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase in primary raw material input costs was approximately in-line with broader market indices and energy prices were less volatile with the government legislation in Europe capping energy prices. We expect prices for both energy and raw materials to decline in 2023. Volume was unfavorable $1.7 million driven by lower shipments in all categories. As of June 30, 2023, Spunlace had approximately 37% of its net sales with contracts with pass-through provisions. Operations was unfavorable by $0.4 million mainly driven by lower production to manage inventory and a fire at our Asheville, North Carolina facility partially offset by lower costs due to the headcount actions taken in 2022, improved converting and lower spending. The impact of currency positively impacted earnings by $0.1 million. The primary drivers of the change in Spunlace’s operating income are summarized in the following chart (presented in millions):

Other and Unallocated The amount of net operating expenses not allocated to an operating segment, and reported as “Other and Unallocated” in our table of Segment Financial Performance, totaled $19.8 million in the first three months of 2023 compared with $7.0 million in the same period a year ago. Excluding the items identified to present “adjusted earnings,” unallocated expenses for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2022.

Income taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a $6.4 million income tax provision on a pretax loss of $30.2 million from continuing operations. The comparable amounts for 2022 were $3.3 million income tax provision on pre-tax income of $0.8 million. The income tax provision in both periods reflects valuation allowances recorded for the operating losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for which no income tax benefit was recorded.
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 €190 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2022,2023, the average currency exchange rate was 1.071.09 dollar/euro compared with 1.191.07 in the same period of 2021.2022. 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 increasedecrease in cash used was primarily due to an increasea decrease in working capital usage of approximately $33.0 million, primarily due to: i) accounts receivable, inventory andwhich was driven by higher accounts receivables in the first six months of 2022 due in part to the termination of the Spunlace factoring program in the U.S., ii) inventory, which was driven by higher inventory values in 2022 due to raw material and energy inflation, partially offset by iii) accounts payable which declined in 2023 due to inflationary impacts in 2022. Operating cash also improved $10.6 million from a factoring arrangement previously utilized by certain former Jacob Holm entities, an $11.5 million reduction in adjusted EBITDA, a $7.6 million increasedecrease in income taxes paid and a $13.0 million increase in interest paid.

In 2021,2022, we used borrowings under the revolving credit facility to pay for the Mount Holly acquisition.working capital and other operating expenditures.
As discussed in Item 1 - Financial Information, Note - 16,15, our Credit Agreement contains a number of customary compliance covenants. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement, was 5.3x,3.4x, 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.Agreement and the Term loan. As discussed in Note 16 - “Long Term Debt,” on May 9, 2022,March 30, 2023, we amended our Credit Agreement to increasepermit the maximum leverage ratio (calculated as consolidated senior secured debt to 6.75consolidated adjusted EBITDA) to be 4.25 to 1.0 untilthrough the quarter ended December 31, 2023, after which the maximum ratio will step2024, stepping down to 4.0 to 1.0.1.0 at March 31, 2025, and 3.50 to 1.0 at March 31, 2026.
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 six months of 2022 and 2021, we used $12.5 million and $12.0 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.

As such, we paid no cash dividends in the first six months of future payments.2023. In the first six months of 2022, we paid $12.5 million of cash for dividends on our common stock.
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 June 30, 2022,2023, we had ample liquidity consisting of $71.5$53.9 million of cash on hand and $131.6$89.6 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.
On April 13, 2023, our credit rating from Moody’s Investor Service was upgraded to B3, in part due to our successful refinancing of our €220.0 million Term Loan with the €250.0 million AG Loan as discussed in Note 16 - “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, and no further action has been taken to date. Although the Moody’s Investor Service ratings upgrade action is positive, it does not impact our current interest costs, or reduce the possibility of default on any of our debt.


Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had not entered into any off-balance-sheet arrangements.

Our market risk exposure primarily results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The table above presents the average principal outstanding and related interest rates for the next five years for debt outstanding as of June 30, 2022.2023. 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 June 30, 2022,2023, we had $812.6$874.9 million of long-term debt, of which 33.9%$105.5 million was at variable interest rates. Variable-rate debt represents borrowings under our credit agreement. Borrowing rates under our credit agreement that accrues interestare determined at our option at the time of each borrowing. For all U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings, the borrowing rate is either, (a) the bank’s base rate which is equal to the greater of i) the prime rate; ii) the overnight bank funding rate plus 50 basis points; or iii) the daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus 100 basis points plus an applicable spread over either i), ii) or iii) ranging from 250 basis points to 400 basis points based on one-month U.S.the Company’s leverage ratio; or (b) the daily Term SOFR-rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 350 basis points to 500 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio. For non-U.S. Dollar LIBORdenominated borrowings, interest is based on the Euro-rate or one-month Euro LIBOR indexes, but in no event less than zero,EURIBOR-rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 350 basis points to 500 basis points based on the applicable margin. Company’s leverage ratio.

At June 30, 2022,2023, the weighted-average interest rate paid was equal to 2.44%8.01%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on variable rate debt would increase annual interest expense by $1.6$1.1 million. In the event rates are 100 basis points lower, interest expense would be $0.5$1.1 million lower.
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. On an annual basis, our euro denominated revenue exceeds euro expenses by an estimated €190 million. 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, particularly with respect to the euro, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant.
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.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preceding discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial position and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to long-lived assets, environmental liabilities, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are subject to certain risks associated withreasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe that our policies for long- and indefinite-lived assets, environmental

liabilities and income taxes represent the most significant and subjective estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and are therefore considered our critical accounting policies and estimates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no changes in foreign currency exchange rates toour critical accounting policies or estimates. See Note 2 — Accounting Policies, of the extentCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q and in our operations are conducted in currencies other thanAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the U.S. Dollar. On an annual basis,year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding our Euro denominated revenue exceeds euro expenses by an estimated €150 million. 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, particularly with respect to the Euro, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant.critical accounting policies.
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. In 2022, all the goodwill of our Composite Fibers and Spunlace operating segments was fully impaired. 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 a2022. Airlaid Material’s fair value, that approximates its carrying value. Our Spunlaceas well as the asset groups within each of our operating segment, which was formed in conjunction with the Jacob Holm acquisition on October 29, 2021, also has a fair value that approximates its carrying value. Both Composite Fibers’ and Spunlace’s fair value 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 to increase selling prices in response to inflationary pressures.among other factors. Future adverse 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.

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 June 30, 2022,2023, have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we completed the implementation of new enterprise resource planning and manufacturing systems for Spunlace’s Old Hickory, Tennessee, U.S.A and Asturias, Spain locations. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2022,2023 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.1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The conflict between RussiaSee the discussion of legal proceedings contained in Note 19 - “Commitments, Contingencies and Ukraine has adversely affected, and may continueLegal Proceedings” to adversely affect, our business,unaudited consolidated 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 six months of 2022, we recorded a $117.3 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 six months of 2022, we recognized bad debt expense of approximately $2.9 million directly related to Russian and Ukrainian customers. At June 30, 2022, we had accounts receivable, net of reserves, from customers in this region totaling approximately $2.6 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 disclosedstatements in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K, any1 of this report, 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.
