Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
Basis of Presentation
As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended June 30, 2022 (the “Report”),
the terms “Quaker Houghton,”
the “Company,”
“we,” and “our” refer to Quaker Chemical
Corporation (doing business as Quaker Houghton), its subsidiaries, and
associated companies, unless the context otherwise requires.
As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
the “Combination” refers to the legacy Quaker combination
with Houghton International, Inc. (“Houghton”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited
and
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim
financial reporting and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) regulations.
Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments
consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods.
The results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected
for the full year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).
Description of Business
The Company was organized in 1918, incorporated as a Pennsylvania
business corporation in 1930, and in August 2019
completed the Combination with Houghton to form Quaker Houghton.
Quaker Houghton is the global leader in industrial process
fluids.
With a presence around the world, including
operations in over
25
countries, the Company’s customers
include thousands of
the world’s most advanced and specialized
steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace, offshore, can,
mining, and metalworking
companies.
Quaker Houghton develops, produces, and markets a broad range of formulated
chemical specialty products and offers
chemical management services (which the Company refers to as “Fluidcare
TM
”) for various heavy industrial and manufacturing
applications throughout its
four
segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); Asia/Pacific; and
Global Specialty
Businesses.
Hyper-inflationary economies
Based on various indices or index compilations being used to monitor inflation
in Argentina as well as economic instability,
effective July 1, 2018, Argentina’s
economy was considered hyper-inflationary under U.S. GAAP.
As of, and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's Argentine
subsidiaries represented less than
1
% of the Company’s consolidated
total
assets and net sales, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded less than $
0.1
million
and $
0.2
million, respectively, of remeasurement
losses associated with the applicable currency conversions related to Argentina.
Comparatively,
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded
$
0.1
million and $
0.3
million,
respectively, of remeasurement
losses associated with the applicable currency conversions
related to Argentina.
These losses were
recorded within foreign exchange losses, net, which is a component of other
(expense) income, net, in the Company’s Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 2 – Business Acquisitions
2022 Acquisitions
In January 2022, the Company acquired a business that provides pickling
inhibitor technologies for the steel industry,
drawing
lubricants and stamping oil for metalworking, and various other lubrication,
rust preventative, and cleaner applications, for its
Americas reportable segment for approximately $
8.0
million.
This business broadens the Company’s
product offerings within its
existing metals and metalworking business in the Americas region.
The Company allocated $
5.6
million of the purchase price to
intangible assets, comprised of $
5.1
million of customer relationships to be amortized over
14 years
; and $
0.5
million of existing
product technologies to be amortized over
14 years
.
In addition, the Company recorded $
1.8
million of goodwill related to expected
value not allocated to other acquired assets, all of which is expected to be tax deductible
in various jurisdictions in which the
Company operates.
In January 2022, the Company acquired a business related to the sealing and impregnation
of metal castings for the automotive
sector, as well as impregnation resin and
impregnation systems for metal parts, for its Global Specialty Businesses reportable segment
for approximately
1.2
million EUR or approximately $
1.4
million.
This business expands the Company's geographic presence in
Germany as well as broadens its product offerings and
service capabilities within its existing impregnation business.

The results of operations of the 2022 acquisitions subsequent to the respective
acquisition dates are included in the unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the six month period ended
June 30, 2022.
Applicable transaction expenses
associated with these acquisitions are included in Combination,
integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the Company’s
unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Certain pro forma and other information is not presented, as the operations
of the acquisitions are not considered material to the overall operations
of the Company for the periods presented.
Previous Acquisitions
In November 2021, the Company acquired Baron Industries (“Baron”),
a privately held Company that provides vacuum
impregnation services of castings, powder metals and electrical components for
its Global Specialty Businesses reportable segment for
$
11.0
million, including an initial cash payment of $
7.1
million, subject to post-closing adjustments as well as certain earn-out
provisions initially estimated at $
3.9
million that are payable at different times from 2022 through
2025.
The earn-out provisions
could total a maximum of $
4.5
million.
The Company allocated $
8.0
million of the purchase price to intangible assets, $
1.1
million of
property, plant and
equipment and $
1.5
million of other assets acquired net of liabilities assumed, which includes $
0.3
million of cash
acquired.
In addition, the Company recorded $
0.4
million of goodwill, all of which is expected to be tax deductible.
Intangible assets
comprised $
7.2
million of customer relationships to be amortized over
15 years
; and $
0.8
million of existing product technology to be
amortized over
13 years
.
In November 2021, the Company acquired a business that provides hydraulic
fluids, coolants, cleaners, and rust preventative oils
in Turkey for its EMEA reportable segment for
3.2
million EUR or approximately $
3.7
million.
In September 2021, the Company acquired the remaining interest in Grindaix
-GmbH (“Grindaix”), a Germany-based, high-tech
provider of coolant control and delivery systems for its Global Specialty Businesses reportable
segment for
2.4
million EUR or
approximately $
2.9
million, which is gross of approximately $
0.3
million of cash acquired.
Previously, in February
2021, the
Company acquired a
38
% ownership interest in Grindaix for
1.4
million EUR or approximately $
1.7
million.
The Company recorded
its initial investment as an equity method investment within the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and accounted for the
purchase of the remaining interest as a step acquisition whereby the Company
remeasured the previously held equity method
investment to its fair value.
In June 2021, the Company acquired certain assets for its chemical milling
maskants product line in the Global Specialty
Businesses reportable segment for
2.3
million EUR or approximately $
2.8
million.
In February 2021, the Company acquired a tin-plating solutions business
for the steel end market for $
25.0
million.
This
acquisition is part of each of the Company’s
geographic reportable segments.
The Company allocated $
19.6
million of the purchase
price to intangible assets, comprised of $
18.3
million of customer relationships, to be amortized over
19 years
; $
0.9
million of existing
product technology to be amortized over
14 years
; and $
0.4
million of a licensed trademark to be amortized over
3 years
.
In addition,
the Company recorded $
5.0
million of goodwill related to expected value not allocated to other acquired
assets, all of which is
expected to be tax deductible in various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in
goodwill included the acquisition of business processes and personne
l
that will allow Quaker Houghton to better serve its customers.
As of June 30, 2022, the allocation of the purchase price of all of the Company’s
2022 acquisitions, Grindaix, the acquisition in
Turkey,
and Baron have not been finalized and the one-year measurement period has not ended.
Further adjustments may be
necessary as a result of the Company’s
on-going assessment of additional information related to the fair value of
assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.
In December 2020, the Company acquired Coral Chemical Corporation
(“Coral”), a privately held U.S.-based provider of metal
finishing fluid solutions.
Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company and the sellers of Coral (the “Sellers”) have worked
to finalize
certain post-closing adjustments.
During the second quarter of 2022, after failing to reach resolution,
the Sellers filed suit asserting
certain amounts owed related to tax attributes of the acquisition.
Based on the facts and circumstances of the claim asserted by the
Sellers, the Company believes the potential range of exposure for this claim is $
0
to $
1.5
million.

relationships and other transactions to ease the potential accounting
and financial reporting burden associated with transitioning away
from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, including
the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
ASU 2020-04 is
effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 and generally can
be applied through December 31, 2022.
On June 17, 2022, the
Company entered into an amendment to its primary credit facility which,
among other things, provided for the use of a USD currency
LIBOR successor rate (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)).
See Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Note 4 – Business Segments
The Company’s operating
segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the
Company’s
internal organization, the method by which the Company’s
resources are allocated and the manner by which the chief operating
decision maker assesses the Company’s
performance.
The Company has
four
reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii)
Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses.
The three geographic segments are composed of the net sales and operations in
each respective region, excluding net sales and operations managed globally
by the Global Specialty Businesses segment.
The Global
Specialty Businesses segment includes the Company’s
container, metal finishing,
mining, offshore, specialty coatings, specialty
grease and Norman Hay businesses.
Segment operating earnings for each of the Company’s
reportable segments are comprised of the segment’s
net sales less directly
related cost of goods sold (“COGS”) and selling, general and administrative
expenses (“SG&A”).
Operating expenses not directly
attributable to the net sales of each respective segment, such as certain corporate
and administrative costs, Combination, integration
and other acquisition-related expenses, and Restructuring and related charges,
are not included in segment operating earnings.
Other
items not specifically identified with the Company’s
reportable segments include Interest expense, net and Other (expense) income,
net.

Customer Concentration
A significant portion of the Company’s
revenues are realized from the sale of process fluids and services to manufacturers of
steel, aluminum, automobiles, aerospace,
industrial and agricultural equipment, and durable goods.
As previously disclosed in the
Company’s 2021 Form 10-K, during
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s
five largest customers (each composed of
multiple subsidiaries or divisions with semiautonomous purchasing authority)
accounted for approximately
10
% of consolidated net
sales, with its largest customer accounting for approximately
3
% of consolidated net sales.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company had no material contract assets recorded on its Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 or
December 31, 2021.
The Company had approximately $
6.6
million and $
7.0
million of deferred revenue as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company satisfied all of the associated
performance obligations and
recognized into revenue the advance payments received and recorded
as of December 31, 2021.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company sells its various industrial process fluids, its specialty chemicals
and its technical expertise as a global product
portfolio.
The Company generally manages and evaluates its performance by segment first, and
then by customer industry,
rather than
by individual product lines.
Also, net sales of each of the Company’s major product
lines are generally spread throughout all three of
the Company’s geographic
regions, and in most cases, approximately proportionate to the level of total
sales in each region.
The following tables disaggregate the Company’s
net sales by segment, geographic region, customer industry,
and timing of
revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021.

Note 7 – Restructuring and Related Activities
The Company’s management approved a global restructuring plan (the “QH Program”) as part of its plan to realize certain cost
synergies associated with the Combination in the third quarter of 2019. The QH Program includes restructuring and associated
severance costs to reduce total headcount by approximately 400 people globally, as well as plans for the closure of certain
manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities. The exact timing and total costs associated with the QH Program depend on a
number of factors and are subject to change; however, the Company currently expects reduction in headcount and site closures under
the QH Program to continue to occur throughout 2022 and into 2023. Employee separation benefits will vary depending on local
regulations within certain foreign countries and will include severance and other benefits.
All costs incurred to date relate to severance costs to reduce headcount,
including customary and routine adjustments to initial
estimates for employee separation costs, as well as costs to close certain facilities
and are recorded in Restructuring and related
charges in the Company’s
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
As described in Note 4 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements, restructuring and related charges
are not included in the Company’s
calculation of reportable
segments’ measure of operating earnings and therefore these costs are not reviewed
by or recorded to reportable segments.

0.5
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively,
recorded within Combination, integration and other acquisition-related
expenses.
Stock Options
During the first six months of 2022, the Company granted stock options under
its long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”)
that are
subject only to time vesting over a
three
year period.
For the purposes of determining the fair value of stock option awards, the
Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions set forth
in the table below:
March 2022
Grant
Number of options granted
27,077
Dividend yield
0.80
%
Expected volatility
38.60
%
Risk-free interest rate
2.07
%
Expected term (years)
4.0
The fair value of these options is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
vesting period.
As of June 30, 2022, unrecognized
compensation expense related to all stock options granted
was $
2.4
million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining
period of
1.6
years.
Restricted Stock Awards
and Restricted Stock Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted
25,743
non-vested restricted shares and
4,490
non-vested
restricted stock units under its LTIP,
which are subject to time-based vesting, generally over a
three year
period.
The fair value of
these grants is based on the trading price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
The Company adjusts the grant date
fair value of these awards for expected forfeitures based on historical experience.
As of June 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation
expense related to the non-vested restricted shares was $
6.2
million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period
of
1.8
years, and unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested
restricted stock units was $
1.2
million, to be recognized over a
weighted average remaining period of
2.1
years.

(Unaudited)
15
Performance Stock Units
The Company grants performance-dependent stock awards (“PSUs”) as a component
of its LTIP,
which will be settled in a
certain number of shares subject to market-based and time-based vesting conditions.
The number of fully vested shares that may
ultimately be issued as settlement for each award may range from
0
% up to
200
% of the target award, subject to the achievement of
the Company’s total shareholder
return (“TSR”) relative to the performance of the Company’s
peer group, the S&P Midcap 400
Materials group.
The service period required for the PSUs is three years and the TSR measurement
period for the PSUs is generally
from January 1 of the year of grant through December 31 of the year prior
to issuance of the shares upon settlement.
Compensation expense for PSUs is measured based on their grant date fair value
and is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the three year vesting period.
The grant-date fair value of the PSUs was estimated using a Monte Carlo
simulation on the grant date
and using the following assumptions set forth in the table below:
March 2022
Grant
Number of PSUs granted
16,820
Risk-free interest rate
2.11
%
Dividend yield
0.93
%
Expected term (years)
3.0
As of June 30, 2022, based on the conditions of the PSUs and performance to date for
each award, the Company estimates that it
will
no
t issue any fully vested shares as of the applicable settlement date of all outstanding PSUs awards.
As of June 30, 2022, there
was approximately $
5.5
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs which the Company
expects to recognize
over a weighted-average period of
2.1
years.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company has a 401(k) plan with an employer match covering a majority
of its U.S. employees.
The Company matches
50
%
of the first
6
% of compensation that is contributed to the plan, with a maximum matching contribution of
3
% of compensation.
Additionally, the plan
provides for non-elective nondiscretionary contributions on behalf of participants
who have completed one year
of service equal to
3
% of the eligible participants’ compensation.
Beginning in April 2020 and continuing through March 2021, the
Company matched both non-elective and elective 401(k) contributions
in fully vested shares of the Company’s common
stock rather
than cash.
There were
no
matching contributions in stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
For the six months ended
June 30, 2021, total contributions were $
1.5
million.

Company’s Italian and German
affiliates for tax periods prior to August 1, 2019.
See Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment
of debt of approximately
$
6.8
million which includes the write-off of certain previously unamortized
deferred financing costs as well as a portion of the third
party and creditor debt issuance costs incurred to execute an amendment
to the Company’s primary credit facility.
See Note 14 of
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loss (gain) on disposals of property,
plant, equipment and other assets, net, during the six months ended June 30, 2021,
includes a

Note 11 – Income Taxes
and Uncertain Income Tax
Positions
The Company’s effective
tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were
8.1
% and
10.9
%, respectively,
compared to
32.2
% and
28.4
% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
The Company’s effective
tax rate for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 was largely driven by
state tax benefits, changes in the valuation allowance for foreign tax credits
due to recently issued legislative guidance,
the impact of audit settlements reached with German and Italian tax authorities, a deferred
tax benefit associated with an intercompany asset transfer,
a reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions relating to management
fees, withholding taxes for increased forecasted dividends and the effects
of lower pre-tax earnings and the mix of such earnings.
In
addition, the Company incurred higher tax expense during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 at one of its subsidiaries as it
accrued taxes at a statutory tax rate of
25
% while it awaits recertification of a concessionary
15
% tax rate, which was available to the
Company during all of 2021.
Comparatively,
the prior year effective tax rates were largely impacted
by the sale of a subsidiary which
included certain held-for-sale real property assets related to the Combination
,
changes in foreign tax credit valuation allowances, tax
law changes in a foreign jurisdiction and the income tax impacts of certain
non-income tax credits recorded by the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a deferred tax liability of $
8.4
million on certain undistributed foreign earnings,
which primarily represents the Company’s
estimate of non-U.S. income taxes the Company will incur to ultimately remit certain
earnings to the U.S.
As of June 30, 2022 this deferred tax liability balance was $
7.4
million.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s
cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $
17.8
million, a decrease of approximately $
4.7
million from the
cumulative liability accrued as of December 31, 2021.

The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain
tax positions as a component of taxes on
income before equity in net income of associated companies in its Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company
recognized a benefit for interest of less than $
0.1
million and $
0.3
million and an expense of less than of $
0.1
million and a benefit of
$
1.5
million for penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2022,
respectively, and recognized
an expense for interest of approximately $
0.2
million and $
0.2
million and a benefit of less than $
0.1
million and $
0.2
million for penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for
the three and six months ended June 30,
2021, respectively.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued $
2.6
million for cumulative interest and $
1.5
million for
cumulative penalties in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, compared
to $
3.1
million for cumulative interest and $
3.1
million
for cumulative penalties accrued at December 31, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized
decreases of $
3.5
million and $
0.8
million,
respectively,
in its cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits due to the settlement
of income tax audits with both the
Italian and German tax authorities, as well as the expiration of the applicable
statutes of limitations for certain tax years.
The Company estimates that during the year ending December 31, 202
2
it will reduce its cumulative liability for gross
unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $
4.2
million due to the settlement of income tax audits and the expiration of the statute of
limitations with regard to certain tax positions.
This estimated reduction in the cumulative liability for unrecognized
tax benefits does
not consider any increase in liability for unrecognized tax benefits with regard
to existing tax positions or any increase in cumulative
liability for unrecognized tax benefits with regard to new tax positions for
the year ending December 31, 2022.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax,
as well as the income tax of various state and foreign
tax jurisdictions.

2007
, Brazil from
2011
,
Germany from
2015

the Mutual Agreement Procedures (“MAP”) of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development for all years except
2007. In 2020, the respective tax authorities in Italy, Spain and the Netherlands reached agreement with respect to the MAP
proceedings which the Company had accepted.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company received $
1.6
million in refunds from the
Netherlands and Spain.
In February 2022, the Company received a settlement notice from the Italian taxing
authorities confirming the
amount due of $
2.6
million, having granted the Company’s request
to utilize its remaining net operating losses to partially offset
the
liability.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company has paid the full settlement amount, of which approximately
$
0.1
million may be
refundable.
Houghton Italia, S.r.l is also involved
in a corporate income tax audit with the Italian tax authorities covering tax years
2014
through
2018
.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company settled a portion of the Houghton Italia,
S.r.l. corporate income tax
audit with the Italian tax authorities for the tax years 2014 and 2015.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company
settled tax years 2016 through 2018 for a total of $
2.1
million.
In total, the Company has now settled all years 2014 through 2018 for
$
3.7
million.
Accordingly, the Company has
released all reserves relating to this audit for the settled tax years.
As a result of the
settlement and reserve release the Company recognized a net benefit
to the tax provision of $
2.0
million during the first six months of
2022.

The Company had four indefinite-lived intangible assets totaling

185.0
million of
indefinite-lived intangible assets for trademarks and tradename associated
with the Combination.
Comparatively, the Company had
four indefinite-lived intangible assets for trademarks and tradename
totaling $
196.9
million as of December 31, 2021.
The Company completes its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
asset impairment test during the fourth quarter of
each year, or more frequently if triggering
events indicate a possible impairment.
The Company continually evaluates financial
performance, economic conditions and other relevant developments
in assessing if a triggering event indicates that it is more likely
than not that the carrying value of any of the Company’s
reporting units or indefinite-lived or long-lived assets is not recoverable.
The
Company continues to monitor various financial, economic and
geopolitical conditions impacting the Company,
including the Russia-
Ukraine war and the Company’s decision
to cease operations in Russia, raw material, supply chain, and logistics cost escalation,
and
rising interest rates and cost of capital among other factors.
The Company concluded that these and other factors which have and
continue to impact the Company did not represent a triggering event as of June 30, 2022.
The Company continues to take action to
offset these headwinds including, but not limited to, implementing
selling price increases aimed at offsetting raw material costs and
ongoing inflationary pressures.
However, if the Company is unable to successfully
implement these actions and future or projected
financial performance declines, then it is possible any of these financial, economic
or geopolitical conditions could represent a
triggering event in the future and could lead to a potential impairment of the
Company’s reporting unit goodwill
or other indefinite-
lived or long-lived assets.

as administrative agent, U.S. Dollar swing line lender and letter of credit
issuer, Bank of America Europe Designated Active
Company, as Euro
Swing Line Lender, certain guarantors and other lenders

not to exceed the greater of $
300.0
million or
100
% of
Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain conditions including the agreement
to provide financing by any lender providing such
increase).
In addition, the Amended Credit Facility also:
(i) eliminated
the requirement that material foreign subsidiaries must guaranty the Original Euro
Term Loan;
(ii) replaced
the U.S. Dollar borrowings reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR;
(iii) extended the maturity date of the Original Credit Facility from August 2024 to June 2027;
and
(iv) effected certain other changes to the Original Credit
Facility as set forth in the Amended Credit Facility.
The Company used the proceeds of the Amended Credit Facility to repay
all outstanding loans under the Original Credit Facility,
unpaid accrued interest and fees on the closing date under the Original
Credit Facility and certain expenses and fees.
U.S. Dollar-
denominated borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear
interest, at the Company’s election, at
the base rate or term SOFR
plus an applicable rate ranging from
1.00
% to
1.75
% for term SOFR loans and from
0.00
% to
0.75
% for base rate loans, depending
upon the Company’s consolidated
net leverage ratio.
Loans based on term SOFR also include a spread adjustment equal to
0.10
% per
annum.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility denominated in currencies other
than U.S. Dollars bear interest at the
alternative currency term rate plus the applicable rate ranging from
1.00
% to
1.75
%.
The Amended Credit Facility contains affirmative
and negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default, including
without limitation restrictions on (a) the incurrence of additional
indebtedness;
(b) investments in and acquisitions of other businesses,
lines of business and divisions; (c) the making of dividends or capital stock
purchases;

EBITDA if there is no default.
All restricted payments may be made if there is no default and if the consolidated
net leverage ratio is
less than
2.50
to
1.00
.
Financial covenants contained in the Amended Credit Facility include
a consolidated interest coverage ratio test and a
consolidated net leverage ratio test.
The consolidated net leverage ratio at the end of a quarter may not be
greater than
4.00
to

period after certain acquisitions.
The Company has the option of replacing the
consolidated net leverage ratio test with a consolidated senior net leverage ratio
test if the Company issues certain types of unsecured
notes, subject to certain limitations.
Events of default in the Amended Credit Facility include without limitation
defaults for non-
payment, breach of representations and warranties, non-performance
of covenants, cross-defaults, insolvency,
and a change of control
in certain circumstances.
The occurrence of an event of default under the Amended Credit Facility could result
in all loans and other
obligations becoming immediately due and payable and the Amended
Credit Facility being terminated.
As of June 30, 2022, the
Company was in compliance with all of the Amended Credit Facility covenants.
The weighted average variable interest rate incurred on the outstanding

Loan.
These costs were recorded as a direct reduction of Long-term debt on the
Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
Approximately $
1.5
million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Amended Revolver and
recorded within
Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
These capitalized costs, as well as the previously capitalized costs that
were not written off will collectively be amortized into Interest expense
over the five-year term of the Amended Credit Facility.
As of
June 30, 2022, the Company had $
2.2
million of debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of Long-term
debt on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet and $
4.8
million of debt issuance costs recorded within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
The Original Credit Facility required the Company to fix its variable interest
rates on at least
20
% of its total Original Term
Loans.
In order to satisfy this requirement as well as to manage the Company’s
exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with
the Original Credit Facility,
in November 2019, the Company entered into $
170.0
million notional amounts of three-year interest rate
swaps at a base rate of
1.64
% plus an applicable margin as provided in the Original Credit Facility,
based on the Company’s
consolidated net leverage ratio.
At the time the Company entered into the swaps, and as of June 30, 2022,
the aggregate interest rate
on the swaps, including the fixed base rate plus an applicable margin,
was
3.1
%.
The Amended Credit Facility does not require the
Company to fix variable interest rates on any portion of its borrowings.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not amended its
current interest rate swaps.
See Note 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Industrial development bonds
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had fixed rate,
industrial development authority bonds totaling $
10.0
million in principal amount due in
2028
.
These bonds have similar covenants to the Amended Credit Facility noted above.
Bank lines of credit and other debt obligations
The Company has certain unsecured bank lines of credit and discount
ing facilities in certain foreign subsidiaries, which are not
collateralized.
The Company’s other debt obligations
primarily consist of certain domestic and foreign low interest rate or interest-
free municipality-related loans, local credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries
and capital lease obligations.
Total unused
capacity under these arrangements as of June 30, 2022 was approximately
$
28
million.
In addition to the bank letters of credit described in the “Credit facilities” subsection above, the Company’s other off-balance
sheet arrangements include certain financial and other guarantees. The Company’s total bank letters of credit and guarantees
outstanding as of June 30, 2022 were approximately $ 5 million.
The Company incurred the following debt related expenses included
within Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income:

Note 17 – Hedging Activities
In order to satisfy certain requirements of the Original Credit Facility as well as to manage
the Company’s exposure to variable
interest rate risk associated with the Original Credit Facility,
in November 2019, the Company entered into $
170.0
million notional
amounts of
three year
interest rate swaps.
See Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
These interest rate
swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and, as such, the contracts are marked-to-market
at each reporting date and any unrealized
gains or losses are included in AOCI to the extent effective
and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the
transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable
that the forecasted transaction will not occur.
In June 2022, the Company amended the Original Credit Facility.
See Note 14 of Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Amended Credit Facility does not require the Company to fix variable
interest rates on any portion of its borrowings.
The balance sheet classification and fair values of the Company’s
derivative instruments, which are Level 2 measurements, are as

Interest rate swaps are entered into with a limited number of counterparties,
each of which allows for net settlement of all
contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of a default
on or termination of any one contract.
As such, in
accordance with the Company’s accounting
policy, these derivative instruments
are recorded on a net basis within the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company previously disclosed in its 2021 Form 10-K that AC Products, Inc.
(“ACP”), a wholly owned subsidiary,
in 2007,
agreed to operate two groundwater treatment systems, so as to hydraulically
contain groundwater contamination emanating from
ACP’s site until such time as the concentrations
of contaminants are below the current Federal maximum contaminant
level for four
consecutive quarterly sampling events. In 2014, ACP ceased operation
at one of its two groundwater treatment systems, as it had met
the above condition for closure. As of June 30, 2022, ACP continues to operate
the second groundwater treatment system, while the
Company discusses with the relevant authorities whether the second groundwater
treatment system meets the conditions for closure.
In addition, the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board requested that ACP conduct additional indoor
and outdoor soil
vapor testing on and near the ACP site to confirm that ACP continues to
meet the applicable local soil vapor standards.
As of June 30,
2022, ACP performed such testing and is awaiting the review of the results from
the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control
Board.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company believes that the range of potential-known
liabilities associated with the balance of the ACP
water remediation program is approximately $
0.1
million to $
1.0
million.
The low and high ends of the range are based on the length
of operation of the treatment system as determined by groundwater modeling.
Costs of operation include the operation and
maintenance of the extraction well, groundwater monitoring and
program management.
The Company previously disclosed in its 2021 Form 10-K that an inactive
subsidiary of the Company that was acquired in 1978
sold certain products containing asbestos, primarily on an installed basis, and
is among the defendants in numerous lawsuits alleging
injury due to exposure to asbestos.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there have been no
significant changes to
the facts or circumstances of this previously disclosed matter,
aside from on-going claims and routine payments associated with this
litigation.
Based on a continued analysis of the existing and anticipated future claims against this subsidiary,
it is currently projected
that the subsidiary’s total liability over
the next 50 years for these claims is approximately $
0.3
million (excluding costs of defense).
The Company previously disclosed in its 2021 Form 10-K that it is party to certain environmental
matters related to certain
domestic and foreign properties.
These environmental matters primarily require the Company
to perform long-term monitoring and
maintenance at each of the applicable sites.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there have been no significant
changes to the facts or circumstances of these previously disclosed matters,
aside from on-going monitoring and maintenance
activities and routine payments associated with each of the sites.
The Company continually evaluates its obligations related to such

(Unaudited)
25
matters, and based on historical costs incurred and projected costs to be incurred
over the next approximately 30 years, has estimated
the range of costs for all of these environmental matters, on a discounted
basis, to be between approximately $
5.0
million and $
6.0
million as of June 30, 2022, for which $
5.5
million was accrued within other accrued liabilities and other non-current
liabilities on the
Company’s Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022.
Comparatively, as of December
31, 2021, the Company had
$
5.6
million accrued for with respect to these matters.
Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of other
unrelated environmental matters, the Company believes that it
has made adequate accruals for costs associated with other environmental problems
for which it is aware, and has accrued $
0.4
million
as of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively,
to provide for such anticipated future environmental assessments and
remediation costs.
The Company previously disclosed in its 2021 Form 10-K that during the first six months
of 2021, one of the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries received a notice that it had prevailed on an existing
legal claim in regard to certain non-income (indirect) taxes
that had been previously charged and paid.
The matter specifically related to companies’ rights to exclude the state tax on goods
circulation (a valued-added-tax or VAT
equivalent, known in Brazil as “ICMS”) from the calculation of certain additional indirect
taxes (specifically the program of social integration (“PIS”) and contribution
for the financing of social security (“COFINS”)) levied
by the Brazilian States on the sale of goods.
In May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court concluded that ICMS should
not be included
in the tax base of PIS and COFINS, and confirmed the methodology for calculating the
PIS and COFINS tax credit claims to which
taxpayers are entitled.
The Company’s Brazilian entities had previously
filed legal or administrative disputes on this matter and are
entitled to receive tax credits and interest dating back five years preceding the
date of their legal claims.
As a result of these court
rulings in the first six months of 2021, the Company recognized non-income
tax credits of
67.0
million BRL or approximately $
13.3
million, which includes approximately $
8.4
million for the PIS and COFINS tax credits as well as interest on these tax credits of $
4.9
million.
The tax credits to which the Company’s
Brazilian subsidiaries are entitled are claimable once registered with the Brazilian
tax authorities which the Company subsequently completed.
These tax credits can be used to offset future Brazilian federal taxes
and
the Company currently anticipates using the full amount of credits during the
five year period of time permitted.
In connection with obtaining regulatory approvals for the Combination,
certain steel and aluminum related product lines of
Houghton were divested in August 2019. The Company previously disclosed
in its 2021 Form 10-K that in July 2021, the entity that
acquired these divested product lines submitted an indemnification claim
for certain alleged breaches of representation made by
Houghton in the agreement pursuant to which such assets had been divested.
The Company responded to the subject matters of the
indemnification claim and during the first quarter of 2022, the
matter was resolved consistent with the Company’s
expectations and
position that there were no amounts owed by the Company.
The Company previously disclosed in its 2021 Form 10-K that two of the Company’s
locations suffered property damages as a
result of flooding and fire, respectively.
The Company maintains property insurance for all of its facilities globally.
During the six
months ended June 30, 2022, there have been no significant changes to
the facts or circumstances of these previously disclosed
matters, aside from the on-going restoration of both sites.
The Company, its insurance
adjuster and insurance carrier are actively
managing the remediation and restoration activities associated with these
events and at this time the Company has concluded, based on
all available information and discussions with its insurance adjuster and
insurance carrier, that the losses were covered under
the
Company’s property insurance
coverage, net of an aggregate deductible of $
2.0
million.
The Company has received payments from
its insurers of $
2.1
million and has recorded an insurance receivable associated with these events (and
a gain on insurance recoveries
for losses incurred) of $
0.9
million as of June 30, 2022.
The Company is party to other litigation which management currently
believes will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition.
In addition, the Company has an immaterial amount of contractual
purchase obligations.
