NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Founded in 1904, ESAB Corporation (“ESAB” or the “Company”) is a world leader in connected fabrication technology and gas control solutions. ESAB provides its partners with advanced equipment, consumables, gas control equipment, robotics, and digital solutions. The Company’s rich history of innovative products and workflow solutions and its business system ESAB Business Excellence (“EBX”) allows the Company to realize its purpose of “Shaping the World we Imagine”. The Company’s products are utilized to solve challenges in a wide range of industries, including cutting, joining and automated welding. The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific.
The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31. The Company’s first quarter ends on the last business day of the 13 th week after the end of the prior quarter. As used herein, the first quarter results for 2023 and 2022 refer to the 13-week periods ended March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022, respectively.
Separation from Enovis
On April 4, 2022, Colfax Corporation (“Colfax”, “Enovis” or the “Former Parent”) completed the spin-off of Colfax’s Fabrication Technology business and certain other corporate entities, through a tax-free, pro rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of 90 % of the outstanding common stock of ESAB to Colfax stockholders (the “Separation”). To effect the Separation, each Colfax stockholder of record as of close of business on March 23, 2022 received one share of ESAB common stock for every three shares of Colfax common stock held on the record date. Upon completion of the Distribution, Colfax changed its name to Enovis Corporation and continued to hold 10 % of the outstanding common stock of ESA B. In November 2022, Enovis sold a total of 6.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock as part of a secondary offering. After the secondary offering, Enovis no longer owned any of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
Russia and Ukraine Conflict
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While ESAB continues to closely monitor the situation and evaluate options, the Company is meeting current contractual obligations while addressing applicable laws and regulations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Russia represented approximate ly 5 % of the Company’s total revenue, and approximately $ 2 million of its Net income. Russia also has approximately 4 % of the Company’s total net assets excluding any goodwill allocation as of March 31, 2023. In case of the disposition of the Russia business, a portion of goodwill would need to be allocated and disposed of in the relative fair value attributable to the Russia business. Russia has a cumulative translation loss of approximately $ 100 million as of March 31, 2023, which could be realized upon a transition out. The Company is closely monitoring developments in Ukraine and Russia. Changes in laws and regulations or other factors impacting the Company’s ability to fulfill contractual obligations could have an adverse effect on the results of operations.
Basis of Presentation
Prior to the Separation on April 4, 2022, the historical financial statements were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements of Enovis. For the periods subsequent to April 4, 2022, the financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis as the Company became a standalone public company as of that date.
Through the date of the Separation, all revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with ESAB have been included in the combined financial statements. Prior to the Separation, the combined condensed financial statements also included allocations of certain general, administrative, sales and marketing expenses from Enovis’s corporate office and from other Enovis businesses to the Company and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and the Former Parent’s investment, as applicable. The allocations were determined on a reasonable basis, however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Enovis during the applicable periods. The Company’s allocated expenses from the Former Parent were $ 6.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2022.

ESAB CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Prior to the Separation, the Company was dependent on the Former Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements under Enovis’s centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. With the exception of cash, cash equivalents and borrowings clearly associated with ESAB and related to the Separation, financing transactions relating to the Company during the period prior to the Separation were accounted for through the Former Parent’s investment account of the Company. Accordingly, none of Enovis’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been assigned to the Company in these financial statements.
Former Parent’s Investment, which included retained earnings, represented Enovis’s interest in the recorded net assets of the Company. All significant transactions between the Company and the Former Parent prior to the Separation have been included in the accompanying Financial Statements. Transactions with the Former Parent are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Equity as “Transfers to Former Parent, net.”
The Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements of ESAB for the three months ended April 1, 2022 may not be indicative of the Company's results had it been a separate stand-alone entity throughout the periods presented, nor are the results stated herein indicative of what the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows may be in subsequent periods.
The Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions in preparing its Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Company incurs research and development costs related to new product development which are expensed as incurred and included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations. Research and development costs were $ 9.6 million and $ 9.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022, respectively. T hese amounts do not include development and application engineering costs incurred in conjunction with fulfilling customer orders and executing customer projects, nor do they include costs related to securing third party product rights. We expect to continue making significant expenditures for research and development to maintain and improve our competitive positions.
In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the full year. Quarterly results are affected by seasonal variations in the Company’s businesses, and European operations typically experience a slowdown during the July, August and December holiday seasons.
These Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in conformity with GAAP, for the preparation of the Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements and are unaudited. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying interim Consolidated and Combined Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K.
2. Discontinued Operations
The Company holds certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages from divested businesses for which it does not have an interest in the ongoing operations. The entities that hold these assets and liabilities became subsidiaries of the Company during the three months ended April 1, 2022 in connection with the Separation.
The Company has classified asbestos-related activity included in its Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations as part of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes.
8
ESAB CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes consists of Selling, general and administrative expenses of $ 0.9 million and $ 2.6 million , net of an immaterial tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $ 0.6 million for the three months ended April 1, 2022, respectively. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information.
Cas h used in operating activities related to discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 was $ 5.4 million and $ 4.6 million, respectively.
3. Acquisition
On January 11, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Therapy Equipment Limited, a regional leader in oxygen regulators, for approximately $ 19 million, net of cash received.
4. Revenue
The Company provides advanced equipment, consumables, gas control equipment, robotics and digital solutions. The Company’s products are utilized to solve challenges in a wide range of industries, including cutting, joining and automated welding. Substantially all revenue is recognized at a point in time. The Company disaggregates its revenue into the following product groups:
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2023 April 1, 2022
(In thousands)
Equipment $ 200,219 $ 188,348
Consumables 483,781 459,563
Total $ 684,000 $ 647,911
The sales mix in the above table is relatively consistent across both reportable segments. The consumables product grouping generally has less production complexity and shorter production cycles than equipment products.
Given the nature of the business, the total amount of unsatisfied performance obligations with an original contract duration of greater than one year as of March 31, 2023 is immaterial.
In some circumstances, customers are billed in advance of revenue recognition, resulting in contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total contract liabilities were $ 25.9 million and $ 22.3 million, respectively, and were included in Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated and Combined Condensed Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year w as $ 11.1 million and $ 9.1 million, res pectively. As of March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2022 total contract liabilities were $ 28.3 million and $ 25.9 million, respectively, and were included in Accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets.

5. Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations
The Company has unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends, which are considered participating securities. The Company allocates earnings to participating securities and computed earnings per share using the two-class method as follows:
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2023 April 1, 2022
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Computation of earnings per share from continuing operations – basic:
Income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB Corporation (1)
$ 32,816 $ 57,458
Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested shares ( 237 ) —
Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders $ 32,579 $ 57,458
Weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding – basic (3)
60,146,348 60,034,311
Income per share from continuing operations – basic $ 0.54 $ 0.96
Computation of earnings per share from continuing operations – diluted:
Income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders $ 32,579 $ 57,458
Weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding – basic (3)
60,146,348 60,034,311
Net effect of potentially dilutive securities (2)
339,878 —
Weighted-average shares of Common stock outstanding – dilution 60,486,226 60,034,311
Net income per share from continuing operations – diluted $ 0.54 $ 0.96
(1) Net income from continuing operations attributable to ESAB Corporation for the respective periods is calculated using Net income from continuing operations, less Income attributable to noncontrolling interest, net of taxes, of $ 1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $ 1.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2022, respectively.
(2) Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, performance-based restricted stock units, and non-performance-based restricted stock units.
(3) Prior to the Separation, the Company did not have any publicly-traded common stock or equivalents issued and outstanding. Accordingly, the net income per share for the three months ended April 1, 2022 is calculated based on the 60.0 million shares distributed on the Separation Date.
6. Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $ 71.2 million , while Income tax expense was $ 37.0 million. The effective tax rate was 52.0 % for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The effective tax rates differed from the 2023 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to discrete tax expenses for dividend withholding taxes and an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax as described below.
During the three months ended April 1, 2022, Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $ 84.2 million, while Income tax expense was $ 25.7 million. The effective tax rate was 30.6 % for the three months ended April 1, 2022. The effective tax rates differed from the 2022 U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of withholding taxes, taxable foreign exchange gains, and other non-deductible expenses, partially offset by lower rates on earnings in foreign jurisdictions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 , the Company changed its indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, resulting in a total tax expense of $ 10.9 million as of March 31, 2023 on such earnings that have not been indefinitely reinvested.
The Company records a liability for certain unrecognized income tax benefits for which it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the respective taxing authority (“uncertain tax positions”). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to an adverse court ruling in a tax case in a foreign jurisdiction the Company increased the related liability for uncertain tax positions by $ 9.4 million partially offset by changes in other positions.

Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility
On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended and restated from time-to-time, the “Credit Agreement”) in connection with the Separation. The Credit Agreement initially consisted of the following facilities:
• A $ 750 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a maturity date of April 4, 2027;
• A Term A-1 loan with an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 400 million (the “Term Loan A-1 Facility”), with a maturity date of April 4, 2027; and,
• A $ 600 million 364 -day senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan A-2 Facility”) with a maturity date of April 3, 2023.
The Revolving Facility contains a $ 300 million letter of credit foreign currency sublimit and a $ 50 million swing line loan sub-facility.
On April 4, 2022, the Company drew down $ 1.2 billion available under the credit facilities consisting of (i) $ 200 million under the Revolving Facility, (ii) $ 400 million under the Term Loan A-1 Facility and (iii) $ 600 million under the Term Loan A-2 Facility. The Company used these proceeds to make payments to Enovis of $ 1.2 billion, which was used as part of the consideration for the contribution of certain assets and liabilities to the Company by Enovis in connection with the Separation.
On June 28, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement by entering into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement Amendment”). The Credit Agreement Amendment provides for a $ 600 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan A-3 Facility” and, together with the Term Loan A-1 Facility, the “Term Facilities”, and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Facilities”) with a maturity date of April 3, 2025 to refinance the Company’s existing Term Loan A-2 Facility. Also on June 28, 2022, the Company borrowed the entire $ 600 million under Term Loan A-3 Facility to fund the repayment of the Term Loan A-2 Facility. The Company’s total borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The draw-down and repayment related to these term facilities are presented net within the Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, make investments or pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of not more than 4.00 :1.00, with step-downs to, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, 3.75 :1.00, and commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, 3.50 :1.00, and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 :1:00. The Credit Agreement contains various events of default (including failure to comply with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and related agreements) and upon an event of default the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term Facilities and the Revolving Facility. Certain U.S. subsidiaries of the Company have agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement.
Loans made under the Term Facilities will bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or at the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus an adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. Loans made under the Revolving Facility will bear interest, at the election of the Company, at either the base rate or, (i) in the case of loans denominated in dollars, the term SOFR rate plus an adjustment or the daily simple SOFR plus an adjustment, (ii) in the case of loans denominated in euros, the adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate and, (iii) in the case of loans denominated in sterling, Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) plus an adjustment (as all such rates are defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment), in each case, plus the applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margin changes based upon the Company’s total leverage ratio (ranging from 1.125 % to 1.750 % or in the case of the base rate margin, 0.125 % to 0.750 %). Each swing line loan denominated in dollars will bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin.
To manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rates arising in Long-term debt, the Company entered into interest rate and cross currency swap agreements during the year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 10 “Derivatives” for additional information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
As of March 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rate of borrowings under the Credit Agreement wa s 4.93 %, in cluding the net impact from the interest rate and cross currency swaps and excluding accretion of deferred financing fees, and there was $ 531 million of borrowing capacity available on the Revolving Facility.
Deferred Financing Fees
In total, the Company had deferred financing fees of $ 3.2 million included in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023, which will be charged to Interest expense (income) and other, net, using the straight-line method. The costs associated with the Term Facilities will be amortized over the contractual term of the Term Facilities and the costs associated with the Revolving Facility will be amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement. Of the $ 3.2 million, $ 1.1 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Revolving Facility are included in Other assets and $ 2.1 million of deferred financing fees relating to the Term Facilities are recorded as a contra-liability within Long-term debt.
Other Indebtedness
In addition to the debt agreements discussed above, the Company also has the ability to incur approximately $ 77 million of indebtedness pursuant to certain uncommitted credit lines, consisting of an uncommitted credit line that the Company currently has in place that the Company has used from time to time in the past for short-term working capital needs.
The Company is party to letter of credit facilities with an aggregate capacity of $ 110.5 million. Total letters of credit of $ 26.2 million were outstanding as of March 31, 2023.
10. Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rates arising in connection with Long-term debt and the normal course of business. The Company has established policies and procedures that govern the risk management of these exposures. Both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are assessed as to their effectiveness, when applicable.
The Company is subject to the credit risk of counterparties to derivative instruments. Counterparties include a number of major banks and financial institutions. None of the concentrations of risk with an individual counterparty was considered significant as of March 31, 2023. The Company does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The Company records derivatives in the Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets at fair value.
Cash Flow Hedges
On July 14, 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. The aggregate notional amount of these contracts is $ 600 million and they mature in April 2025. These interest rate swap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate of 3.293 %, plus a spread, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The applicable spread may vary between 1.125 % to 1.750 %, depending on the total leverage ratio of the Company. The spread is 1.250 % as of March 31, 2023. These agreements involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.
The above interest rate swap agreements are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge and as such, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument due to the change in fair value is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If a derivative is deemed to be ineffective, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company’s interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are classified in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company expects a gain of $ 6.6 million, net of tax, related to interest rate swap agreements to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings over the next 12 months as the hedged transactions are realized. The expected gain to be reclassified is based on current forward rates in active markets as of March 31, 2023.

Net Investment Hedges
On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into two cross-currency swap agreements to partially hedge its net investment in its Euro-denominated subsidiaries against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Euro. In addition, the cross-currency swap agreements include provisions to exchange fixed-rate payments in U.S. Dollar for fixed-rate payments in Euro and are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge. These contracts have a Euro aggregate notional amount of approximately € 270 million and a U.S. Dollar aggregate notional amount of $ 275 million at March 31, 2023, and they mature in April 2025.
The changes in the spot rate of these instruments are recorded in AOCI in equity, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in AOCI. The Company uses the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness and as such, the initial value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in the Interest expense (income) and other, net line item in the Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statement of Operations under a systematic and rational method over the life of the cross-currency swap agreements. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the period of change. The Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The cash inflows and outflows associated with the excluded components of the Company’s cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedges are classified in operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Asbestos Contingencies
Certain entities that became subsidiaries of ESAB Corporation in connection with the Separation are the legal obligor for certain asbestos obligations including long-term asbestos insurance assets, long-term asbestos insurance receivables, accrued asbestos liabilities, long-term asbestos liabilities, asbestos indemnity expenses, asbestos-related defense costs and asbestos insurance recoveries related to the asbestos obligations from the Former Parent’s other legacy industrial businesses. As a result, the Company holds certain asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages.
These subsidiaries are each one of many defendants in a large number of lawsuits that claim personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos from products manufactured or used with components that are alleged to have contained asbestos. Such components were acquired from third-party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of the Company’s, or Former Parent’s, subsidiaries nor were the subsidiaries, producers or direct suppliers of asbestos. The manufactured products that are alleged to have contained or used asbestos generally were provided to meet the specifications of the subsidiaries’ customers, including the U.S. Navy. The subsidiaries settle asbestos claims for amounts the Company considers reasonable given the facts and circumstances of each claim. The annual average settlement payment per asbestos claimant has fluctuated during the past several years while the number of cases has steadily declined. The Company expects such fluctuations to continue in the future based upon, among other things, the number and type of claims settled in a particular period and the jurisdictions in which such claims arise. To date, the majority of settled claims have been dismissed for no payment.
The Company has classified asbestos-related activity in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated and Combined Condensed Statements of Operations. This is consistent with the Former Parent’s classification on the basis that, pursuant to the purchase agreement from the Former Parent’s Fluid Handling business divestiture, the Former Parent retained its asbestos-related contingencies and insurance coverages. However, as the Former Parent did not retain an interest in the ongoing operations of the business subject to the contingencies, asbestos-related activity was classified as part of Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Former Parent.
The Company has projected each subsidiary’s future asbestos-related liability costs with regard to pending and future unasserted claims based upon the Nicholson methodology. The Nicholson methodology is a standard approach used by experts and has been accepted by numerous courts. Consistent with the Former Parent, it is ESAB’s policy to record a liability for asbestos-related liability costs for the longest period of time that ESAB management can reasonably estimate.
The Company believes that it can reasonably estimate the asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims that will be resolved in the next 15 years and has recorded that liability as its best estimate. While it is reasonably possible that the subsidiaries will incur costs after this period, the Company does not believe the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses is estimable at the current time. Accordingly, no accrual has been recorded for any costs which may be paid after the next 15 years. Defense costs associated with asbestos-related liabilities as well as costs incurred related to efforts to recover insurance from the subsidiaries’ insurers are expensed as incurred.
Each subsidiary has separate insurance coverage acquired prior to Company ownership. The Company estimates the insurance assets for each subsidiary based upon the applicable policy language, expected recoveries and allocation methodologies, and law pertaining to the affected subsidiary’s insurance policies.
Asbestos-related claims activity since December 31 is as follows:

(2) Represents current accruals for probable and reasonably estimable asbestos-related liability costs that the Company believes the subsidiaries will pay, and unpaid legal costs related to defending themselves against asbestos-related liability claims and legal action against the Company’s insurers, which is included in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3) Included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Management’s analyses are based on currently known facts and assumptions. Projecting future events, such as new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolving each claim, coverage issues among layers of insurers, the method in which losses will be allocated to the various insurance policies, interpretation of the effect on coverage of various policy terms and limits and their interrelationships, the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, the amount of remaining insurance available, as well as the numerous uncertainties inherent in asbestos litigation could cause the actual liabilities and insurance recoveries to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded which could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
General Litigation
The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of the Company’s business. None of these legal proceedings is expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company. With respect to these proceedings, and the litigation and claims described in the preceding paragraphs, management of the Company believes that it will either prevail, has adequate insurance coverage or has established appropriate accruals to cover potential liabilities. Legal costs related to proceedings or claims are recorded when incurred. Other costs that management estimates may be paid related to the claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. There can be no assurance, however, as to the ultimate outcome of any of these matters, and if all or substantially all of these legal proceedings were to be determined adverse to the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

15. Related Party Transactions
Related Party Agreements
On April 4, 2022, in connection with the Separation, the Company entered into several agreements with Enovis that govern the Separation and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward. Such agreements are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 7, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”).
Allocated Expenses
