(a)Intersegment sales are not considered material. (b)The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Excludes depreciation and amortization, and non-operating, non-recurring or unusual items as described in the reconciliation of total segment adjusted EBITDA to consolidated Net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation below. (c)Other segment items are comprised of Research and development expenses excluding depreciation and amortization. (d)Excludes Albemarle’s 49% ownership interest in the income tax expense of the Windfield joint venture. The Company reconciles the total segment adjusted EBITDA to the consolidated Net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation given the impact of equity in net income from unconsolidated investments, the majority of which relates to the Windfield joint venture. This reconciliation reflects the strategic and operational significance of the Company’s joint ventures and aligns with our allocation of equity in net income from unconsolidated investments at the segment level, representing each segment's contribution to the Company's overall financial performance.
