Recent Developments and Updates
+Added: Goodwill Impairment Charge
+Added: Beginning in fiscal year 2023, we began to see depressed volumes in our industrial end markets, constraining our ability to offset the continued CTO price inflation we were experiencing, and negatively impacting earnings and cash flow outlook within our Performance Chemicals’ reporting unit, particularly in our industrial specialties product line.
+Added: As a result, we concluded that a triggering event occurred in the third quarter of 2023.
+Added: Our third quarter 2023 impairment analysis included significant assumptions, such as the execution of several measures in 2023 to pursue greater cost efficiency, including a reorganization to streamline certain functions and reduce ongoing costs, and expectations of decreased CTO costs beginning in the second half of 2024.
+Added: We concluded that no impairment was necessary as a result of that third quarter 2023 interim analysis or at our annual impairment test, dated October 1, 2023.
+Added: During the second quarter of 2024, our supplier provided new information regarding the cost of CTO for the second half of 2024, which significantly exceeded our forecasted costs, resulting in a triggering event for our Performance Chemicals’ reporting unit.
+Added: We performed an analysis of the reporting unit’s goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets.
+Added: Our analysis included significant assumptions such as:
+Added: revenue growth rate, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
+Added: ("EBITDA") margin, and discount rate, which are judgmental, and variations in any assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value.
+Added: Our analysis reassessed the expected cash flows in light of current performance and expected lack of near term recovery in our industrial specialties product line, resulting in lower volume and profitability expectations.
+Added: As a result, the company concluded that the carrying amount of the Performance Chemicals’ reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $349.1 million, which represents all of the goodwill within the Performance Chemicals' reportable segment.
+Added: The charge was recorded within “Goodwill impairment charge” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
+Added: CTO Supply Contract Termination Agreement
+Added: On July 1, 2024, we entered into a termination agreement and release (the “Termination Agreement”), to terminate our long-term crude tall oil supply agreement with GP Pine Chemicals, LLC, (“Georgia-Pacific”), as amended (the“CTO Supply Agreement”), pursuant to which we were obligated to purchase and receive CTO produced by certain Georgia-Pacific facilities.
+Added: Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, as consideration for the termination of the CTO Supply Agreement, we made a cash payment to Georgia-Pacific in the amount of $50.0 million on July 1, 2024 and agreed to make an additional cash payment to Georgia-Pacific in the amount of $50.0 million by October 15, 2024.
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.
−Removed: These actions increase our focus on growing our most profitable Performance Chemicals' product lines, such as road technologies, and accelerate our transition to non-crude tall oil ("CTO") based fatty acids.
−Removed: This initiative will result in the reduction, and in some cases exit, of certain historical 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.
−Removed: This initiative includes 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.

−Removed: The above actions are referred to as the "Performance Chemicals' repositioning." The Performance Chemicals’ repositioning initiative included additional corporate and business cost reduction actions executed in November 2023.
−Removed: The Performance Chemicals' repositioning, when combined with other targeted workforce reduction initiatives during 2023, resulted in the reduction of Ingevity's global workforce by almost 20 percent, 25 percent of these reductions being
−Removed: employees directly associated with commercial sales activities of the soon-to-be exited and/or reduced end-use markets of our industrial specialties product line.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: All production at the DeRidder Plant ceased in the first quarter of 2024.
+Added: The Performance Chemicals’ repositioning initiative included additional corporate and business cost reduction actions executed in November 2023.
+Added: 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
−Removed: We expect to incur aggregate charges of approximately $280 million associated with the Performance Chemicals' repositioning, consisting of approximately $185 million in asset-related charges, approximately $15 million in severance and other employee-related costs, and approximately $80 million in other restructuring costs including decommissioning, dismantling and removal charges, and contract termination costs.
−Removed: Through March 31, 2024, we have incurred $197.6 million associated with these actions, including $180.2 million of non-cash asset-related charges and $17.4 million of charges to be settled in cash.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2024, $13.4 million of the charges to be settled in cash have been paid.
+Added: We expect to incur aggregate charges of approximately $250 million associated with the Performance Chemicals' repositioning.
+Added: This is a reduction of approximately $30 million from prior expectations due to lower than estimated plant cleaning costs.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
−Removed: Charges Related to Exited End-Market Inventory
−Removed: The collective actions of workforce, operational, and regional business exits, we believe will hinder our ability to dispose of the associated inventory on hand.
−Removed: As a result, we recorded $19.7 million and $2.5 million of non-cash, lower of cost or market, inventory charges during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the impacted inventory to what we expect to realize upon disposal, less disposal costs.
+Added: Inventory Charges
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
−Removed: Since these inventory charges are directly attributable to the Performance Chemicals’ repositioning, that is, they do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate our business, we have combined these charges with the restructuring charges noted above, and have excluded such impact from the financial results of our Performance Chemicals reportable segment.
−Removed: Please refer to Note 14 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
CTO Resale Activity
−Removed: Due to the DeRidder Plant closure and the corresponding reduced CTO refining capacity, we may be obligated, under an existing CTO supply contract, to purchase CTO volumes through 2025 at amounts in excess of required CTO volumes needed to support our current business operations.
−Removed: We intend to manage our CTO volumes by reselling excess volumes (herein referred to as "CTO resales") in the open market.
−Removed: Excluded from the estimated $280.0 million of aggregate charges relating to the Performance Chemicals' repositioning are potential costs we may incur associated with the CTO resales which, based on what we believe to be market rates today, may result in $50 million to $80 million of incremental losses in 2024.
−Removed: This is updated from our previously disclosed estimate of $30 million to $80 million based on our current expectations on CTO procurement costs for 2024, which we expect to be offset by spot market CTO resales.
−Removed: For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we have incurred $26.5 million of CTO resale losses, which are recorded as Other (income) expense, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
−Removed: Expected Savings and Impact
−Removed: The Performance Chemicals' repositioning will result in the reduction, and in some cases exit, of certain historical 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.
+Added: The DeRidder Plant closure, and the corresponding reduced CTO refining capacity, significantly reduced our CTO volume requirements.
+Added: 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.
+Added: To manage this excess inventory, we sold CTO volumes (herein referred to as "CTO resales") in the open market.
+Added: 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.
+Added: 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.
+Added: As a result of the termination of this supply contract, the purchases under the CTO supply contract ended, effective June 30, 2024.
+Added: 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 $5.0 million in additional costs as we liquidate the excess CTO resale volumes on hand as of June 30, 2024.
+Added: Crossett, Arkansas Plant Closure
+Added: On July 31, 2024, we announced plans to transition the refining of oleo-based products manufactured for our Performance Chemicals reportable segment from our Crossett, Arkansas manufacturing plant (the “Crossett Facility”) to our North Charleston, South Carolina manufacturing plant.
+Added: In connection with this action, on July 29, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the closure of the Crossett Facility, as well as additional corporate and business cost reduction actions.
+Added: Ingevity plans to close the Crossett Facility in August 2024 and will continue to evaluate options for the site.
+Added: We expect to realize net operational savings of approximately $20-$25 million per year from the closure of the Crossett Facility, as well as annual savings of approximately $10 million from the corporate and business-related cost reduction actions.
+Added: The company expects to realize the full benefit of these savings beginning in 2025.
+Added: Expected Charges
+Added: As a result of these actions, Ingevity expects to incur aggregate charges of approximately $100 million, consisting of approximately $65 million in asset-related charges, approximately $10 million in severance and other employee-related costs and approximately $25 million in other restructuring costs, which include decommissioning, dismantling and removal charges and contract termination costs.
+Added: We expect approximately $65 million of the total charges to be non-cash.
+Added: The majority of non-cash charges and 50-60 percent of cash charges are expected to be recognized by the first half of 2025.
+Added: Expected Savings and Impact, Including Crossett, Arkansas Plant Closure
+Added: The Performance Chemicals' repositioning is focused 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, and as such, we expect annualized net sales to decrease accordingly.
The annualized cash savings we expect to realize from these actions are approximately $95 million to $110 million beginning in 2024.
These cash savings will be derived from headcount reductions, plant operating efficiencies, and reduced supply chain costs.
−Removed: In addition to the cash savings, annualized depreciation and intangible amortization expense related to assets charges taken throughout this initiative will decline by approximately $10 million and $12 million, respectively, of which we expect to realize approximately $8 million and $10 million in 2024, respectively.
+Added: In addition to the cash savings, annualized depreciation and intangible amortization expense related to asset charges taken through this initiative will decline by approximately $15 million and $17 million, respectively, of which we expect to realize approximately $10 million and $12 million in 2024, respectively.
Collectively, these savings are expected to be realized in the following financial statement captions:
70-80 percent in Cost of sales, 15-25 percent in Selling, general, and administrative expenses, and ~5 percent in Research and technical expenses, all presented on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
−Removed: During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realized cash savings of approximately $20 million, including $15 million in Cost of sales, $4 million in Selling, general, and administrative expenses, and $1 million in Research and technical expenses.
+Added: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we realized cash savings of approximately $22 million and $42 million, including $17 million and $32 million in Cost of sales, $4 million and $8 million in Selling, general, and administrative expenses, and $1 million and $2 million in Research and technical expenses, respectively.
The charges we currently expect to incur and the savings we expect to obtain 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.
−Removed: Measurement Alternative Investments
−Removed: During the period ended March 31, 2024, the company identified a triggering event indicating that an investment being accounted for under the measurement alternative may be impaired.
