EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 6, 2022, Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. ("SWM") consummated its previously announced merger transaction involving Neenah, Inc. ("Neenah"). A wholly-owned subsidiary of SWM merged with and into Neenah (the "Merger"), with Neenah surviving the Merger as a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of SWM. Effective as of the closing date of the Merger, SWM changed its name to Mativ Holdings, Inc. ("Mativ").

The financial statements and information set forth herein is as of and for the period ended September 30, 2022 and represent the merged company operations of SWM and Neenah and their respective subsidiaries on a consolidated basis effective as of July 6, 2022 as a result of the Merger. Because SWM was deemed the accounting acquirer under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the historical financial statements of SWM are presented as the historical financial statements of the consolidated company prior to the Merger. Accordingly, references to "Mativ," "the Company," "we," or "our" means SWM and its subsidiaries when referring to periods prior to the Merger, and means Mativ Holdings, Inc. when referring to the period after the Merger.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, inventory valuation, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, fair values,business acquisitions, equity-based compensation, derivatives, sales returns and rebates, receivables valuation, pension, postretirement and other benefits, restructuring and impairment, taxes and contingencies. Furthermore, the Company considered the continuing impact from the global economic and social disruption caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) in estimates used in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2021. The Company determined changes to these estimates did not have a material impact on our assessment of recoverability of our assets, including Accounts receivable, net, Goodwill, Intangible assets or long-lived assets. There may also be long-term undetermined effects on some of our customers and suppliers, and as a result of these uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The new standard simplifies income tax accounting requirements by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The provisions of this ASU were adopted effective January 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans."

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

The Company has 2two main sources of revenue: product sales and materials conversion. The Company recognizes product sales revenues when control of a product is transferred to the customer. For the majority of product sales, transfer of control occurs when the products are shipped from one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities to the customer. The cost of delivering finished goods to the Company’s customers is recorded as a component of Cost of products sold. Those costs include the amounts paid to a third party to deliver the finished goods. Any freight costs billed to and paid by a customer are included in net sales. The Company also provides services to customers through the conversion of customer-owned raw materials into processed finished goods. In these transactions, the Company generally recognizes revenue as processing is completed.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which generally occurs when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Generally, the Company considers collectability of amounts due under a contract to be probable upon inception of a sale based on an evaluation of the credit worthiness of each customer. If collectability is not considered to be probable, the Company defers recognition of revenue on satisfied performance obligations until the uncertainty is resolved. We record estimates for bad debts based on our expectations for the collectability of amounts due from customers, considering historical collection history, expectations for future activity and other discrete events as applicable.

Variable consideration, such as discounts or price concessions, is set forth in the terms of the contract at inception and is included in the assessment of the transaction price at the outset of the arrangement. The transaction price is allocated to the individual performance obligations due under the contract based on the relative stand-alone fair value of the performance obligations identified in the contract. The Company typically uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations.

The Company does not typically include extended payment terms or significant financing components in its contracts with customers. Certain product sales contracts may include cash-based incentives (volume rebates or credits), which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts at least quarterly based on the expected forecast quantities to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized accordingly. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense in the period incurred. The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expenses. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. As a practical expedient, the Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the good transfers as fulfillment activities, and therefore, does not account for shipping and handling costs as a separate performance obligation.

Note 5. Net IncomeIncome/(Loss) Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate earningsearnings/(loss) per share. The Company has granted restricted stock that contains non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares. Since these unvested shares are considered participating securities under the two-class method, the Company allocates earningsearnings/(loss) per share to common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Diluted net income per common share is computed based on Net income divided by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares during the respective periods are those related to dilutive stock-based compensation, including long-term stock-based incentive compensation and directors’ accumulated deferred stock compensation, which may be received by the directors in the form of stock or cash. ADiluted loss per share excludes the weighted average potential common shares as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Goodwill was allocated to the disposal group on the basis of relative fair value, primarily utilizing Level 3 inputs which included forecasted future cash flows. We considered the planned divestiture of this business as a potential indicator that the fair value of the ATM reporting unit may be below its carrying amount and performed a qualitative impairment assessment in the first quarter of 2022. As a result of this assessment, we concluded the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and therefore no additional impairment was identified or recognized.

Note 11. Derivatives
 
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk on its variable-rate debt. To manage these risks, the Company utilizes a variety of practices including, where considered appropriate, derivative instruments. The Company has no derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes or derivatives with credit risk-related contingent features. All derivative instruments used by the Company are either exchange traded or are entered into with major financial institutions in order to reduce credit risk and risk of nonperformance by third parties. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are determined using observable inputs and are considered Level 2 assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes currency forward, swap and, to a lesser extent, option contracts to selectively hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk when it is practical and economical to do so. The use of these contracts minimizes transactional exposure to exchange rate changes. We designate certain of our foreign currency hedges as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax and reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. For foreign exchange contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the contracts’ fair values are recorded to net income each period.

The Company selectively hedges its exposure to interest rate increases on variable-rate, long-term debt when it is practical and economical to do so. Changes in the fair value of interest rate contracts considered cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax and reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Interest rate contracts are also used to hedge changes in the fair value of a portion of our senior unsecured notes attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate contracts and corresponding portion of the hedged debt are recognized in interest expense.

The Company also uses cross currencycross-currency swap contracts to selectively hedge its exposure to foreign currency related changes in our net investments in certain foreign operations. We designate these cross currencycross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges. Changes in the fair value of these hedges are deferred within the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss, net of tax and reclassified into earnings when the foreign investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

Litigation
 
Brazil

SWM-BSWM-Brazil ("SWM-B") received assessments from the tax authorities of the State of Rio de Janeiro (the "State") for unpaid Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços ("ICMS") and Fundo Estadual de Combate à Pobreza ("FECP") value-added taxes on interstate purchases of electricity. The State issued 4four sets of assessments against SWM-B one for periods from May 2006 - November 2007, a second for January 2008 - December 2010, a third for September 2011 - September 2013, which was replaced by a smaller assessment for January - June 2013, and a fourth for July 2013 -through December 2017 (collectively the "Electricity Assessments"). The first through fourth assessments were received in February 2008, June 2011, October 2013, and August 2018, respectively.

SWM-B challenged all Electricity Assessments in administrative proceedings before the State tax council (in the first-level court Junta de Revisão Fiscal “first-level administrative court” and the appellate court Conselho de Contribuintes)Contribuintes “administrative appellate court”) based on Resolution 1.610/89, which defers these taxes on electricity purchased by an "electricity-intensive consumer." In 2014, a majority of the Conselho de Contribuintesadministrative appellate court sitting en banc ruled against SWM-B in each of the first and second Electricity Assessments ($3.410.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively, based on the foreign currency exchange rate at September 30, 2021)2022), and SWM-B is now pursuing challenges to these assessments in the State judicial system where SWM-B obtained preliminary injunctions against enforcement of both assessments. In March 2020, the first-level judicial court ruled in favor of SWM-B in the second Electricity Assessment, a decision that is now on appeal. The third Electricity Assessment was dismissed on technical grounds by the Conselho de Contribuintes in 2018 after the State admitted the tax did not apply as it had asserted. Instead, in2018. In August 2018, the State filed revised fourth Electricity Assessments for a revised third Electricity Assessment in thecombined amount of $0.5 million for ICMS on electricity purchased during part of 2013, and a fourth Electricity Assessment in the amount of $7.5 million pertaining to ICMS and FECP on electricity purchased from July 2013 to December 2017.$8.8 million. SWM-B filed challenges to these 2018 assessments in the first-level administrative court on the same grounds as the older cases. The Junta de Revisão Fiscal rejected SWM-B’s challenge tocases, receiving unfavorable rulings from the revised third Electricity Assessment, but the Conselho de Contribuintes agreed with SWM-B that the 2013 claim was time-barred. Both the Junta de Revisão Fiscal and the Conselho de Contribuintes ruled against SWM-Bcourts in the fourth Electricity Assessment.2019. Both 2019 decisions from the Conselho de Contribuintes are being appealed to the full bench of the Conselho de Contribuintes.appealed. The State issued a new regulation effective January 1, 2018 that only specific industries are “electricity-intensive consumers,” a list that excludes paper manufacturers. SWM-B contends this regulation shows that paper manufacturers were electricity-intensive consumers eligible to defer ICMS before 2018.

SWM-B cannot determine the outcome of the Electricity Assessments matters; as such, no loss has been accrued in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December of 2000, SWM-B received two assessments from the tax authorities of the State for unpaid ICMS taxes on certain raw materials from January 1995 through October 1998 and from November 1998 through November 2000 (collectively, the "Raw Materials Assessments"). The Raw Materials Assessments concerned the accrual and use by SWM-B of ICMS tax credits generated from the production and sale of certain non-combustible related grades of paper sold domestically. An adverse judgement was received during 2019 and a provision of $8.6 million (based on the foreign currency exchange rate at March 31, 2021) was recorded in Other Liabilities. On April 9, 2021, SWM-B resolved the Raw Materials Assessment by paying $2.6 million (based on the foreign currency exchange rate at March 31, 2021) under a tax amnesty program which reduced the tax liability by approximately 70%. All litigation is now concluded on this matter which is fully resolved. As the result of the favorable settlement, we recognized a total benefit of $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, of which $4.6 million was in Interest expense and $1.6 million was in Other income, net.

Germany

In January 2015, the Company initiated patent infringement proceedings in Germany against Glatz under multiple LIP-related patents. In December 2017, the Dusseldorf Appeal Court affirmed the German District Court judgment on infringement of EP1482815 against Glatz. The Company filed an action against Glatz in the German District Court to set the amount of damages for the infringement and Glatz has filed a counterclaim. Glatz has filed an action in the German Patent Court to invalidate the German part of EP1482815. The German Patent Court held that some of the patent claims at issue were invalid and also that another claim at issue was valid. The Company has appealed the portion of the decision with respect to the claims held to be invalid. The German Supreme Court confirmedheld that the claims of German Patent Courtcounterpart of EP1482815 relevant to the Glatz infringement action were invalid. This ruling has the effect of nullifying the infringement decision on appeal.and injunction against Glatz and the Company’s claim for damages against Glatz. Glatz’s counterclaim against the Company is still pending and is scheduled for hearing in February, 2023. The cost, timing and outcome of intellectual property litigation can be unpredictable and thus no assurances can be given as to the outcome or impact on us of such litigation.

Environmental Matters
 
The Company's operations are subject to various nations' federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to environmental matters. The nature of the Company's operations exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to various environmental matters, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with such claims. While the Company has incurred in the past several years, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations, it believes that its future cost of compliance with environmental laws, regulations and ordinances, and its exposure to liability for environmental claims and its obligation to participate in the remediation and monitoring of certain hazardous waste disposal sites, will not have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations, or unknown contamination or costs of remediation of sites owned, operated or used for waste disposal by the Company (including contamination caused by prior owners and operators of such sites or other waste generators) may give rise to additional costs which could have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

The fair value of the continuing employee awards of $0.6 million will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period, less any cost previously recognized on these performance share awards.

The performance share awards of amortizationCIC Qualifying Termination employees were also modified to accelerate vesting and to set the number of shares underlying these awards at 100% of the target level defined in Accumulated other comprehensive lossthe LTIP rather than at the pro-rata target level based on service period completed as of the Merger date. The fair value as of the Merger date of $2.5 million was expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when the awards fully vested upon the termination of the employees and is included in General expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss).

At the closing of the Merger, the Options and SARs had fully vested and are payable to the grantees. Accordingly, there is no ongoing compensation expense related to the Options.

The RSUs generally vest over a three-year term as follows: 33.3% on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, except for RSUs issued as retirement and special grant awards, which vest over a one-year term on the first anniversary of the grant date. Vesting is contingent upon continued employment or service. The unvested portion of a grantee’s RSU will be immediately forfeited and cancelled if the grantee ceases employment or service, except for retirement awards which vest on a pro rata basis according to the proportion of days employed during the vesting period of one year. At the Merger date, the Company assumed 180,149 unvested Neenah RSUs, converted at the exchange ratio, with a total fair value of $4.2 million.

Note 14.15. Income Taxes

For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with ASC No. 740-270 "Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods." These interim estimates are subject to variation due to several factors, including the ability of the Company to accurately forecast pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, changes in laws or regulations, and expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective tax rate calculations could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

As a result ofPrior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Company asserted that substantially all of the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries were considered indefinitely reinvested and accordingly, no deferred taxes were provided. Due to the Tax Act, the Company has significant previously taxed earnings and profits from its foreign subsidiaries, as a result of transition tax, that it is generally able to repatriatebe repatriated free of U.S. federal tax, due to transition tax and global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) treatment. Further, to the extent that any untaxedtax. In addition, future earnings and profits are distributed fromof foreign subsidiaries such dividends shouldare generally expected to be able to be repatriated free of U.S. federal income tax because these earnings were taxed in the U.S. under the GILTI regime or would be eligible for a 100% dividends received deduction. As a result of the Company’s treasury policy to simplify and expediate the intercompany cash flows to SWM US, as evidenced by the implementation of the Cash Pool, and in light of the Company’s demonstrated goal of driving growth though inorganic/acquisitional means, the Company has decided to no longer assert indefinite reinvestment with respect to earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries prior to January 1, 2018. Therefore, the Company does not intend to assert indefinite reinvestment onof its foreign subsidiaries to the extent of each CFC’s earnings generated after December 31, 2017.

All unrecognized tax positions could impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. With respect to penalties and interest incurred from income tax assessments or related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s policy is to classify penalties as provision for income taxes and interest as interest expense in its condensed consolidated statementunaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of income.Income/(Loss).

During the three month period ending September 30, 2022, the Company became aware of a cyber attack that had been recently made against certain systems within the Company’s network environment. The attack temporarily affected operations and caused delays in execution of sales transactions at some locations. In addition, the Company incurred financial costs to investigate and remediate the incident, some of which are expected to be mitigated by insurance. During the incident, the attackers accessed and exfiltrated Company data, including some personally identifying information of certain Company employees. The Company believes it has contained the incident, which only affected certain systems, and it has restored operations and notified affected individuals. The Company has put in place remediation measures designed to help prevent future similar attacks, and has proactively undertaken to implement certain other enhancements to its security system.

The increase of $121.2 million or 87.3% included the benefit from the Scapa acquisition (completed April 15, 2021). Scapa net sales were $107.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in organic sales reflected continued rapid growth in transportation sales, specifically automotive paint protection films, as they continued to rebound sharply from negative COVID-19 impacts that began early in 2020, and broad strength across our filtration portfolio, particularly water and process filtration products. Transportation and filtration sales each grew approximately 25%. Construction sales, led by erosion control and turf products, and industrial sales, led by digital printing products, also increased. Healthcare sales (excluding Scapa) declined as certain products that saw short-term COVID-related demand spikes in prior year quarters, such as facemask materials, started to normalize. While total sales increased, sales performance was negatively impacted by tight labor markets, which constrained production of certain product lines.(in millions):

The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of 10% volume decrease, unfavorable price/mix of 3%, slightly offset by a 1% currency benefit. The volume decline was attributable to lower tobacco-related papers, including LIP, as certain customers resumed more normalized order patterns compared to the third quarter of 2020 when they increased inventory levels to help avoid potential supply chain disruptions from COVID-19. Continued growth in HnB products partially offset the decrease within the tobacco business.

AMS gross profit increased by $14.1$426.1 million primarily due to the incremental benefit of the acquired Scapa business and strong organic sales growth. These factors were offset by higher input costs, primarily of polypropylene resin, as well as higher energy and freight costs resulting from economic inflation and supply chain challenges, which were not fully offset by pricing actions. The margin percentage decline was primarily attributable to these cost increases and supply chain challenges, as well as limited supplies of specialty resins used in the growing transportation films business, which is typically a positive contributor to margins.

In the EP segment, gross profit decreased by $8.9 million, resulting from a combination of the LIP volume decline and associated negative mix impacts. The decrease was also driven by significantly higher wood pulp input costs, increases in energy costs and freight costs. Foreign currency movements also negatively impacted gross profit by $1.9 million. Prior year gross profit included $3.2 million other restructuring related charges in Cost of goods sold associated with the plant shutdown of Spotswood, NJ facility.

Further, the Company incurred higher energy costs, particularly in Brazil and France, and higher freight costs. These decreases were partially offset by a totalan operating loss of $6.8 million lower restructuring expenses and other costs primarily related to Spotswood plant shutdown. Unfavorable foreign currency movements resulted in a $2.0 million negative impact on operating profit as well.

Unallocated expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $16.9 million compared to $9.7 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $7.2 million, or 74.2%, primarily due to Scapa acquisition costs of $3.3 million, and an incremental $2.5 million of costs incurred within Scapa for shared services such as finance, HR, and IT, which were reported in the Company's segment financials as unallocated expenses.
