(2) Primarily represents property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible asset write-downs, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges on certain assets, which were or are to be disposed of or abandoned. Also included, to the extent incurred, the acceleration effect of re-estimating settlement dates and revised cost estimates associated with asset retirement obligations related to asset disposal charges that are included within restructuring charges. Performance Chemicals' Repositioning On November 1, 2023, we announced a number of strategic actions designed to reposition our Performance Chemicals reportable segment to improve profitability and reduce the cyclicality of the company as a whole. These actions increase our focus on growing our most profitable Performance Chemicals' product lines, such as road technologies, and accelerate our transition to non-CTO based fatty acids. This initiative will focus on reducing exposure to lower margin end-use markets of our industrial specialties product line, such as adhesives, publication inks, and oilfield, representing approximately 45 percent of our industrial specialties product line historical annualized net sales. This initiative included the permanent closure of our Performance Chemicals' CTO refinery and the closure of our manufacturing plant located in DeRidder, Louisiana (the “DeRidder Plant”), including the polyol production assets associated with the Advanced Polymer Technologies (“APT”) reportable segment. All production at the DeRidder Plant ceased in the first quarter of 2024. The Performance Chemicals’ repositioning initiative included additional corporate and business cost reduction actions executed in November 2023. The actions referenced above, when combined with other targeted workforce reduction initiatives during 2023, resulted in the reduction of Ingevity's global workforce by almost 20 percent. Specific to Performance Chemicals, the reduction represented approximately 30 percent of the reportable segment's workforce. Expected Charges We expect to incur aggregate charges of approximately $250 million associated with the Performance Chemicals' repositioning. This is a reduction of approximately $30 million from prior expectations due to lower than estimated plant cleaning costs. Total expected charges now consist of approximately $185 million in asset-related charges, approximately $15 million in severance and other employee-related costs, and approximately $50 million in other restructuring costs, including decommissioning, dismantling and removal charges, and contract termination costs. Through June 30, 2024, we have incurred $207.6 million associated with these actions, including $182.0 million of non-cash asset-related charges and $25.6 million of charges to be settled in cash. As of June 30, 2024, $21.3 million of the charges to be settled in cash have been paid. We expect approximately $185 million of the total charges to be non-cash and $65 million to be settled in cash. The remainder of the non-cash and 50-60 percent of cash charges are expected to be recognized in 2024. Inventory Charges The Company believes the collective actions of workforce, operational, and regional business exits will hinder our ability to dispose of the associated inventory on hand. As a result, we recorded zero and $2.5 million of non-cash, lower of cost or market, inventory charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the impacted inventory to what we expect to realize upon disposal, less disposal costs. These inventory charges are recorded to Cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. CTO Resale Activity The DeRidder Plant closure, and the corresponding reduced CTO refining capacity, significantly reduced our CTO volume requirements. However, we were obligated, under an existing CTO supply contract, to purchase CTO volumes through 2025 at amounts in excess of our required CTO volumes needed to support our business operations. To manage this excess inventory, we sold CTO volumes (herein referred to as "CTO resales") in the open market. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we have incurred $23.5 million and $50.0 million of CTO resale losses, which are recorded as Other (income) expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of July 1, 2024, as further described in Note 16, we have terminated the CTO supply contract that resulted in these excess CTO volumes. As a result of the termination of this supply contract, the purchases under the CTO supply contract ended, effective June 30, 2024. Therefore, we are no longer required to purchase this excess CTO volume through 2025, and as such, we expect to end our CTO resale activity by the end of 2024 and to incur no more than $5 million in additional costs as we liquidate the excess CTO resale volumes on hand as of June 30, 2024. The charges we currently expect to incur in connection with these actions are subject to a number of assumptions and risks, and actual results may differ materially. We may also incur other material charges not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or in connection with, these actions. Restructuring and Other (Income) Charges, net Reserves The following table ( in millions ) shows a roll forward of restructuring reserves that will result in cash spending, the majority of which relate to the Performance Chemicals' repositioning. Balance at Change in Cash Balance at 12/31/2023 (1) Reserve (2) Payments Other (3) 6/30/2024 (1) $ 8.2 19.1 (22.9) (0.1) $ 4.3 _______________ (1) Included in "Accrued expenses" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (2) Includes severance and other employee-related costs, exited leases, contract terminations and other miscellaneous exit costs. Any asset write-downs including accelerated depreciation and impairment charges are not included in the above table. (3) Primarily foreign currency translation adjustments. Other (income) charges, net Alternative feedstock transition In April 2023, we implemented the feedstock transition of our Crossett, Arkansas manufacturing plant (“Crossett”). This transition converted Crossett from a CTO-based feedstock production facility to produce fatty acids from alternative plant-based feedstocks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred charges of zero. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred charges of $6.6 million. North Charleston plant transition Our North Charleston, South Carolina Performance Chemicals manufacturing plant has historically been co-located with a WestRock Company (“WestRock”) paper mill. In May 2023, WestRock announced that it would permanently cease operating its North Charleston paper mill by August 31, 2023 and notified us that it was terminating the shared services in accordance with our operating agreement. WestRock ceased production at their North Charleston paper mill in June 2023. During 2023, we executed a transition plan to separate certain critical operating services WestRock had historically provided to us such as steam, water and wastewater treatment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred charges of $3.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred charges of $2.9 million. Business transformation costs Our enterprise resource planning tool implementation and associated business transformation initiative concluded in the fourth quarter of 2023. Costs incurred, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled zero, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, of $2.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. |
