THE COMPANY
Overview
Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1992 (the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our” as used herein refers to Chart Industries, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise), is a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered cryogenic equipment servicing multiple market applications in the industrial gas and clean energy industries. Our unique product portfolio is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain including upfront engineering, service and repair. Being at the forefront of the clean energy transition, Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, CO2 Capture and water treatment, among other applications. We are committed to excellence in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues both for our company as well as our customers. With over 25 global manufacturing locations including in the United States, Europe, China, India, Australia and South America, we maintain accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers and communities.
Our primary customers are large, multinational producers and distributors of hydrocarbon and industrial gases and their end-users. We sell our products and services to more than 2,500 customers worldwide, having developed long-standing relationships with leading companies in the gas production, distribution and processing industries as well as those involved in liquefied natural gas (LNG), chemicals and industrial gasses. Our well-established relationships extend to truck manufacturers in addition to those in other clean energy industries such as biofuels, hydrogen and CO2 capture. Our customers include: Chick-fil-A, Linde, Air Liquide, IVECO, Air Products, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil, New Fortress Energy, Samsung, Plug Power, United Launch Alliance, and Blue Origin, some of whom have been purchasing our products for over 30 years.
We have achieved this competitive position by capitalizing on our technical expertise, broad product and service offering, reputation for a high quality global manufacturing footprint, and by focusing on attractive, growth markets. We have an established sales and customer support presence across the globe with manufacturing operations in the United States, Europe, China and India. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we generated sales of $1,317.7 million, $1,177.1 million, and $1,215.5 million, respectively.
On October 1, 2020, we closed on the sale of our cryobiological products business to Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) (the “Cryobiological Divestiture”), which is reflected in our disclosure in “Item 1. Business.” Financial information is presented on a continuing operations basis.

Cryo Tank Solutions
Cryo Tank Solutions (34% of consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2021) designs and manufactures cryogenic solutions for the storage and delivery of cryogenic liquids used in industrial gas and LNG applications. With operations in the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia, our Cryo Tank Solutions segment serves customers globally.
Industrial Gas Applications
We design and manufacture bulk and packaged gas cryogenic solutions for the storage, distribution, vaporization, and application of industrial gases. Our products span the entire spectrum of industrial gas demand from small customers requiring cryogenic packaged gases to large users requiring custom engineered cryogenic storage systems in both mobile and stationary applications. Using sophisticated vacuum insulation technology, our cryogenic storage systems are able to store and transport liquefied industrial gases and hydrocarbon gases at temperatures from 0° Fahrenheit to temperatures nearing absolute zero. Industrial gas applications include any end-use of the major elements of air (nitrogen, oxygen, and argon), including manufacturing, welding, electronics and medical. Principal customers for industrial applications are global industrial gas producers and distributors. Other end-users of our equipment include chemical producers, manufacturers of electrical components, health care organizations and companies in the oil and natural gas industries.
Demand for industrial gas applications is driven primarily by the significant installed base of users of cryogenic liquids, as well as new applications and distribution technologies for cryogenic liquids. Our competitors tend to be regionally focused while we supply a broad range of systems on a worldwide basis. We also compete with several suppliers owned by the global industrial gas producers. From a technology perspective, we compete with compressed gas alternatives or on-site generated gas supply.
LNG Applications
We supply cryogenic solutions for the storage, distribution, regasification, and use of LNG. LNG may be utilized as an alternative to other fossil fuels such as diesel, propane, or fuel oil in transportation or off pipeline applications. Examples include heavy duty truck and transit bus transportation, locomotive propulsion, marine, and power generation in remote areas. We refer to our LNG distribution products as a “Virtual Pipeline,” as the traditional natural gas pipeline is replaced with cryogenic distribution to deliver the gas to the end-user. We supply cryogenic trailers, ISO containers, bulk storage tanks, loading facilities, and regasification equipment specially configured for delivering LNG into Virtual Pipeline applications. We sell LNG applications around the world from various Eastern and Western Hemisphere facilities to numerous end-users, energy companies, and gas distributors. Additionally, we supply large vacuum insulated storage tanks as equipment for purchasers of standard liquefaction plants sold by our Heat Transfer Systems segment.
Demand for LNG applications is driven by diesel displacement initiatives, environmental and energy security considerations, and the associated cost of equipment. Our competitors tend to be regionally focused or product-specific, while we supply a broad range of solutions required by LNG applications.
Heat Transfer Systems
Heat Transfer Systems (20% of consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2021) facilitates major natural gas, petrochemical processing, petroleum refining, power generation and industrial gas companies in the production or processing of their products. With primary manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. and Europe, Heat Transfer Systems serves customers globally. This segment supplies mission critical engineered equipment and technology-driven process systems used in the separation, liquefaction, and purification of hydrocarbon and industrial gases that span most gas-to-liquid applications.
Natural Gas Processing (including Petrochemical) Applications
We provide natural gas processing solutions that facilitate the progressive cooling and liquefaction of hydrocarbon mixtures for the subsequent recovery or purification of component gases. Primary products used in these applications include brazed aluminum heat exchangers, cold boxes, pressure vessels, Core-in-Kettle® and air cooled heat exchangers. Our brazed aluminum heat exchangers allow producers to obtain purified hydrocarbon by-products, such as methane, ethane, propane, and ethylene, which are commercially marketable for various industrial or residential uses. Our cold boxes are highly engineered systems that incorporate brazed aluminum heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and interconnecting piping used to significantly reduce the temperature of gas mixtures to liquefy component gases so that they can be separated and purified for further use in multiple energy, industrial, scientific, and commercial applications. Chart’s air cooled heat exchangers are used to cool or condense fluids to allow for further processing and for cooling gas compression equipment. Our process technology includes standard and modular plant solutions and comprises detailed mechanical design, Chart manufactured proprietary equipment and all other plant items required to liquefy pipeline quality natural gas. Customers for our natural gas processing applications

include large companies in the hydrocarbon processing industry, as well as engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contractors.
Demand for these applications is primarily driven by the growth in the natural gas liquids (or NGLs) separation and other natural gas segments of the hydrocarbon processing industries, including LNG. In the future, management believes that continuing efforts by petroleum producing countries to better utilize stranded natural gas and associated gases which historically had been flared, present a promising source of demand. We have several competitors for our heat exchangers and fans, including certain leading companies in the industrial gas and hydrocarbon processing industries as well as many smaller fabrication-only facilities around the world. Competition with respect to our more specialized brazed aluminum heat exchangers includes a small number of global (European and Asian) manufacturers.
LNG Applications
We provide process technology, liquefaction train, and independent mission critical equipment for the liquefaction of natural gas (LNG), including small to mid-scale facilities, floating LNG applications, and large base-load export facilities. We are a leading supplier to EPC firms where we provide equipment and process technology, providing an integrated and optimized approach to the project. These “Concept-to-Reality” process systems incorporate many of Chart’s core products, including brazed aluminum heat exchangers, Core-in-Kettle® heat exchangers, cold boxes, air cooled heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and pipe work. These systems are used in global LNG projects, for both local LNG production as well as LNG export terminals. Our proprietary IPSMR® (Integrated Pre-cooled Single Mixed Refrigerant) and IPSMR+® liquefaction process technology offers lower capital expenditure requirements than competing processes measured on a per ton of LNG produced basis, along with very competitive operating costs.
Demand for LNG applications is primarily driven by increased use and global trade in natural gas (transported as LNG) since natural gas offers significant cost and environmental advantages over other fossil fuels. Demand for LNG for fuel applications is also driven by diesel displacement and continuing efforts by petroleum producing countries to better utilize stranded natural gas and previously flared gases. We have several competitors for these applications, including leading industrial gas companies, other brazed aluminum heat exchanger manufacturers, and other equipment fabricators to whom we also act as a supplier of equipment, including heat exchangers and cold boxes.
HVAC, Power and Refining Applications
Our air cooled heat exchangers and axial cooling fans are used in HVAC, power and refining applications. Demand for HVAC is driven by growing construction activities and demand for energy efficient devices, and there is also positive impact from growing industrial production. Refining demand continues to be driven by United States shale production, benefiting from low cost shale oil and gas resulting in high utilization and increased investment. Our air cooled heat exchangers are used in each phase of the refining process to condense and cool fluids. Worldwide power use is projected to grow 50% through 2050. This growth is focused in regions where strong economic growth is driving demand, particularly in Asia.
Specialty Products
Specialty Products (33% of consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2021) supplies highly-engineered equipment used in specialty end-market applications for hydrogen, LNG, biofuels, CO2 Capture, food and beverage, aerospace, lasers, cannabis and water treatment, among others. Leveraging our global manufacturing presence Specialty Products serves customers globally. During 2021 and 2020, we made a number of acquisitions to capitalize on clean power, clean industrials, clean water and clean food, beverages and agriculture market opportunities within this segment. These include the acquisitions of BlueInGreen, LLC, Sustainable Energy Solutions, Inc., Cryogenic Gas Technologies, Inc., L.A. Turbine, AdEdge Holdings, LLC and Earthly Labs Inc.
We supply a wide range of solutions used in the production, storage, distribution and end-use of hydrogen while also providing highly-specialized mobility and transportation equipment for use with both hydrogen and LNG, including onboard vehicle tanks and fueling stations. More specifically, our horizontal LNG vehicle tanks are widely used onboard heavy-duty trucks and buses while our recently-released liquid hydrogen vehicle tank enjoys many of the same characteristics. Chart also manufactures specialized cryogenic railcars used to transport not only LNG, but a number of other gaseous and liquid molecules. Additionally, we design and manufacture nitrogen dosing products and other equipment used in packaging as well as the food and beverage industry. These applications include processing, preservation and beverage carbonation.
Our water treatment technology is also offered through the Specialty Products segment. Serving both municipal and industrial end markets globally, our water treatment process technology utilizes Chart’s cryogenic storage and vaporization equipment to efficiently deliver dissolved oxygen, CO2 and ozone into water. Our technology is used for oxygenation, pH adjustment, oxidation and odor control with modular and mobile solution options. Additional water treatment capabilities
5

include but are not limited to adsorption, filtration, ion exchange, reverse osmosis and flow reversal processes, to name a few. Our expanded solution set effectively addresses a wide range of organic and inorganic contaminants including arsenic and per- and polyfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals.” Other equipment and technology offered through Specialty Products have applications in CO2 Capture, space and cannabis industries. We also offer cryogenic components, including turboexpanders, vacuum insulated pipe (“VIP”), specialty liquid nitrogen, or LN2, end-use equipment and cryogenic flow meters.
We design and manufacture solutions for the liquefaction, storage, distribution, regasification and use of hydrogen. There are a number of commercial uses for hydrogen including traditional applications in the chemical, refining and space industries. More recently, hydrogen is increasingly being used as an alternative fuel for the power transportation sectors, with both onshore and marine applications. Given the global movement towards a lower carbon footprint, there are also a number of other potential uses for hydrogen on the horizon including power generation. To help enable this transition, we supply ISO containers and transport trailers for both gaseous and liquid hydrogen, in addition to fuel stations and other fueling solutions. We also manufacture various types of heat exchangers for hydrogen applications including brazed aluminum, air-cooled and shell & tube varieties.
Demand for many of our specialty applications including hydrogen is primarily driven by the global, public and private sector movement towards a lower-carbon footprint, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and overall sustainability trends. These efforts are being guided not only by government policies and related global climate goals, but also by social and environmental actions by various stakeholders. Management believes hydrogen in particular will play an ever-increasing role in the energy transition, given its zero emission characteristics and naturally abundant supply. Similarly, management believes other equipment offered by Chart’s Specialty Products segment will be required to achieve global greenhouse gas reduction targets and other environmental-related goals, including our carbon capture and biofuel technology, water treatment offerings and specialty packaging equipment. Demand for LNG is also likely to continue benefiting from the ongoing energy transition given its environmental advantages over other fossil fuels. While we have competitors in a portion of these applications, many of our specialty product markets have limited competition.

Engineering and Product Development
Our engineering and product development activities are focused primarily on developing new and improved solutions and equipment for the users of cryogenic liquids, hydrocarbons and industrial gases across all industries served. Our engineering, technical, and marketing employees actively assist customers in specifying their needs and in determining appropriate products to meet those needs. Portions of our engineering expenditures typically are charged to customers, either as separate items or as components of product cost.
Competition
We believe we can compete effectively around the world and that we are a leading competitor in the industries we serve. Competition is based primarily on performance and the ability to provide the design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities required in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Contracts are usually awarded on a competitive bid basis. Quality, technical expertise, and timeliness of delivery are the principal competitive factors within the industries we serve. Price and terms of sale are also important competitive factors. Although we believe we rank among the leaders in each of the markets we serve and because our equipment is specialized and independent third-party prepared market share data is not available, it is difficult to know for certain our exact position in our markets. We base our statements about industry and market positions on our reviews of annual reports and published investor presentations of our competitors and augment this data with information received by marketing consultants conducting competition interviews and our sales force and field contacts. For information concerning competition within a specific segment of our business, see the descriptions provided under segment captions in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Marketing
We market our products and services in each of our segments throughout the world primarily through direct sales personnel and independent sales representatives as well as distributors. The technical and custom design nature of our products requires a professional, highly trained sales force. We use independent sales representatives and distributors to market our products and services in certain foreign countries and in certain North American regions. These independent sales representatives supplement our direct sales force in dealing with language and cultural matters. Our domestic and foreign independent sales representatives earn commissions on sales, which vary by product type.
Backlog
For information about our backlog, including backlog by business segment, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Customers
We sell our products primarily to gas producers, distributors, and end-users across energy, industrial, power, HVAC and refining applications in countries throughout the world. Sales to our top ten customers accounted for 39%, 42%, and 34% of consolidated sales in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Our sales to particular customers fluctuate from period to period, but the global producers and distributors of hydrocarbon and industrial gases as well as their suppliers tend to be a consistently large source of revenue for us. Our supply contracts are generally contracts for “requirements” only. While our customers may be obligated to purchase a certain percentage of their supplies from us, there are generally no minimum requirements. Also, many of our contracts may be canceled at any time, subject to possible cancellation charges. To minimize credit risk from trade receivables, we review the financial condition of potential customers in relation to established credit requirements before sales credit is extended and we monitor the financial condition of customers to help ensure timely collections and to minimize losses. In addition, for certain domestic and foreign customers, we require advance payments, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, and other such guarantees of payment. Certain customers also require us to issue letters of credit or performance bonds, particularly in instances where advance payments are involved, as a condition to placing the order. We believe our relationships with our customers are generally good.
Intellectual Property
Although we have a number of patents, trademarks, and licenses related to our business, no one of them or related group of them is considered by us to be of such importance that its expiration or termination would have a material adverse effect on our business. In general, we depend upon technological capabilities, manufacturing quality control, and application of know-how, rather than patents or other proprietary rights, in the conduct of our business.
7

Raw Materials and Suppliers
We manufacture most of the products we sell. The raw materials used in manufacturing include aluminum products (including sheets, bars, plate, and piping), stainless steel products (including sheets, plates, heads, and piping), palladium oxide, carbon steel products (including sheets, plates, and heads), valves and gauges, and fabricated metal components. Most raw materials are available from multiple sources of supply, although shortages and delays to certain materials have been experienced during the past year, as a result of market disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. We have long-term relationships with our raw material suppliers and other vendors. Commodity components of our raw material (aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel) could experience additional levels of volatility during 2022 and may have a relational impact on raw material pricing. Subject to certain short-term risks related to our suppliers as discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” we foresee no acute shortages of any raw materials that would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Human Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2022, we had 4,771 employees, including 2,388 domestic employees and 2,383 international employees.
We are party to one collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“IAM”) covering 219 employees at our La Crosse, Wisconsin heat exchanger facility. Effective February 8, 2021, we entered into a five-year agreement with the IAM which expires on February 8, 2026.
Chart is committed to attracting and retaining the best talent. Therefore, investing, developing, and maintaining human capital is critical to our success. As a global manufacturing company, a meaningful number of our employees are engineers or trained trade or technical workers focusing on advanced manufacturing. Chart prioritizes several measures and objectives in managing its human capital assets, including, among others, employee safety and wellness, talent acquisition and retention, employee engagement, development, and training, diversity and inclusion, and compensation and pay equity. In 2021, we did not experience any employee-generated work stoppages or disruptions, and we consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.
Our key human capital measures include employee safety, turnover, absenteeism and production. We frequently benchmark our compensation practices and benefits programs against those of comparable industries and in the geographic areas where our facilities are located. We believe that our compensation and employee benefits are competitive and allow us to attract and retain skilled and unskilled labor throughout our organization. Our notable health, welfare and retirement benefits include company-subsidized health insurance, 401(k) plan with company matching contributions, tuition assistance program and paid time off.
Covid-19 and Employee Safety and Wellness
During the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the safety and well-being of our employees and their families has been a top priority as we continue to serve our customers, many of which are directly involved in essential manufacturing and critical medical care. Our global pandemic efforts include leveraging the advice and recommendations of infectious disease experts and recognized organizations to establish appropriate safety standards and secure appropriate levels of personal protective equipment for our workforce. Based upon these recommendations, we have adopted and implemented a Covid-19 Response Plan to outline our company policies and procedures designed to mitigate the potential for transmission of Covid-19 and its variants and prevent exposure to illness from certain other infectious diseases. These protocols, which remain in place, meet or exceed the Centers for Disease Control guidelines and where applicable, state and local government mandates. Our employees were trained on these protocols and on an ongoing basis, receive regular updates as rules and guidelines evolve.
Among other things, Chart’s Covid-19 Response Plan details employee, manager, and company responsibilities related to house-keeping and sanitization, hygiene and respiratory etiquette, use of personal protective equipment, employee and visitor screening procedures, leave policies and accommodations, travel guidelines, remote working opportunities and infrastructure, and protocols for not reporting to work and/or when to return to work upon potential and/or confirmed Covid-19 exposure or infection. In addition to procuring and maintaining personal protective equipment, screening stations and other preventative resources, we also leveraged our technology and human capital to accommodate the heightened level of demand for critical care equipment required by customers around the world to fight Covid-19.
Chart has ongoing communications about safety performance at all levels of the organization. Our Global Safety Council meets monthly to discuss accidents, injuries, near misses, trends and lessons learned. Council members present metrics and other safety information at every executive staff and Board of Directors meeting. The cross-functional Global Safety Council is dedicated to reaching our target of zero accidents. All Chart employees have Stop Work Authority and are expected to use it if there is concern that any task or procedure could be unsafe. Each site recognizes and rewards employees based on local
8

objectives such as achieving safety performance milestones and completing regular audits. All Chart sites implement our Occupational Health and Safety Program Requirements for training, reporting, accident investigation, auditing, implementation, and compliance. The policy encourages employee involvement, a crucial element of a successful safety program, by requiring each site to create a safety committee and safety suggestion program.
Employee Engagement, Development and Training
Chart strives to recruit, hire, develop and promote a diverse workforce. It is our goal to provide each employee a challenging and rewarding experience that allows for personal and professional development. We encourage and support the growth and development of our employees and, wherever possible, seek to fill positions by promotion and transfer from within the organization. We advance continual learning and career development through ongoing performance and development conversations or evaluations with employees, internally and externally developed training programs, and educational reimbursement programs. In connection with the latter, reimbursement is available to employees enrolled in pre-approved degree or certification programs at accredited institutions that teach skills or knowledge relative to our business or otherwise to the development of the employee’s skill set or knowledge base. In addition, we routinely invest in seminar, conference and other training or continuing education events for our employees. We believe education empowers our people to identify and adopt best practices that will enhance our sustainability. Our university relations program includes recruitment, co-operative programs and internships. To train a local workforce, our manufacturing facilities forge relationships with community colleges and trade schools and pay their employees based on the job and level of skill.
Other examples of Chart employee development programs include our Emerging Leaders program, Emerging Welders program, an Engineering Rotational program, an Engineering Fellows and Key Experts program, in addition to the aforementioned Global Safety Council. Chart’s Emerging Leaders accelerated development program assigns immersive, high-impact projects to high-potential employees across the organization to prepare them for advancement to executive roles. Engineering Fellows are long-tenured employees who are recognized externally and internally as having contributed to our success in unique ways while our Key Experts are widely recognized within Chart for their engineering expertise and contributions to the field. Together, Fellows and Key Experts manage the rotational engineering program to mentor and develop our early-career engineers.
We strive to maintain an inclusive environment free from discrimination of any kind, including sexual or other discriminatory harassment. All employees are expected to put into practice our Code of Ethics, related policies, laws, rules and regulations in all countries where we operate. In addition, employees have a duty to report violations and have multiple avenues available through which inappropriate behavior can be reported, such as supervisors, managers, ethics representatives or the confidential, anonymous Chart Ethics Hotline. Designated ethics representatives are always available for employees who have questions or need guidance on compliance. All reports of inappropriate behavior are promptly investigated with appropriate action taken to stop such behavior. Chart investigates alleged incidents and communicates the resolution to the person who reported it. We prohibit retaliation and threats of retaliation against anyone who reports a possible violation or misconduct in good faith and protect employees with our Whistleblower Policy. Chart has partnered with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to drive a more diverse and inclusive workforce. Our Chief Executive Officer and President, Jillian Evanko, has also signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ pledge, and our Global Diversity & Inclusion Committee is working with our 4,771 team members to ensure all of our key themes and priorities work seamlessly together in our culture for the best employee experience.
Environmental Matters
Our operations have historically included and currently include the handling and use of hazardous and other regulated substances, such as various cleaning fluids used to remove grease from metal, that are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These regulations impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the soil, air, and water and establish standards for their handling, management, use, storage, and disposal. We monitor and review our procedures and policies for compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Our management is familiar with these regulations and supports an ongoing program to maintain our adherence to required standards.
We are involved with environmental compliance, investigation, monitoring, and remediation activities at certain of our owned or formerly owned manufacturing facilities and at one owned facility that is leased to a third party. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with all known environmental regulations. We accrue for certain environmental remediation-related activities for which commitments or remediation plans have been developed or for which costs can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are determined based upon currently available facts regarding each facility. Actual costs incurred may vary from these estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved. Future expenditures relating to these environmental remediation efforts are expected to be made over the coming years as ongoing costs of remediation programs. We do not believe that these regulatory requirements have had a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or
9

competitive position. We are not anticipating any material capital expenditures in 2022 that are directly related to regulatory compliance matters. Although we believe we have adequately provided for the cost of all known environmental conditions, additional contamination, the outcome of disputed matters, or changes in regulatory posture could result in more costly remediation measures than budgeted, or those we believe are adequate or required by existing law. We believe that any additional liability in excess of amounts accrued which may result from the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows, or results of operations.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating your investment in us. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows could be harmed materially. Additional risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are not currently known to us or that we believe are not currently material may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. In any of these cases, you may lose all or part of your investment in us.
Risks Related to Our Business
The markets we serve are subject to cyclical demand and vulnerable to economic downturn, which could harm our business and make it difficult to project long-term performance.
Demand for our products depends in large part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures by many of our customers and end-users, in particular those customers in the global hydrocarbon and industrial gas markets. These customers’ expenditures historically have been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to economic downturns. Decreased capital and maintenance spending by these customers could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, this historically cyclical demand limits our ability to make accurate long-term predictions about the performance of our company. Even if demand improves, it is difficult to predict whether any improvement represents a long-term improving trend or the extent or timing of improvement. There can be no assurance that historically improving cycles are representative of actual future demand.
The loss of, or significant reduction or delay in, purchases by our largest customers could reduce our sales and profitability.
While we sell to more than 2,000 customers, sales to our top ten customers accounted for 39%, 42%, and 34% of consolidated sales in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We expect that a similar number of customers will continue to represent a substantial portion of our sales for the foreseeable future. While our sales to particular customers fluctuate from period to period, the global producers and distributors of hydrocarbon and industrial gases and their suppliers tend to be a consistently large source of our sales.
The loss of any of our major customers, consolidation of our customers, or a decrease or delay in orders or anticipated spending by such customers could materially reduce our sales and profitability. Although order activity in 2021 increased year over year, we continued to experience energy price volatility and our customers’ adjusted project timing. Delays in the anticipated timing of LNG infrastructure build out could materially reduce the demand for our products. Our largest customers could also engage in business combinations, which could increase their size, reduce their demand for our products as they recognize synergies or rationalize assets and increase or decrease the portion of our total sales concentration to any single customer. For example, four of our largest customers have combined in recent years, with Airgas and Air Liquide combining in 2016 and Praxair and Linde combining in 2018. Further industry consolidation could further exacerbate our customer concentration risk.
10

We may fail to successfully integrate companies that provide complementary products or technologies.
An important component of our recent business strategy has been the acquisition of businesses that complement our existing products and services. Such a strategy involves the potential risks inherent in assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent or other liabilities, and potential profitability of acquisition candidates and in integrating the operations of acquired companies. In addition, any acquisitions of businesses with foreign operations or sales may increase our exposure to risks inherent in doing business outside the United States.
As part of this acquisition strategy, we have closed on several acquisitions in the past three years including acquisitions in new clean energy markets, such as hydrogen, water, carbon and direct air capture. These high growth markets represent new businesses that are complementary to our existing LNG and gas technologies. The failure to achieve the anticipated synergies of our recent significant acquisitions or recognize the anticipated market opportunities or integration from our new clean energy acquisitions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we may have acquisition discussions with other potential target companies both domestically and internationally. If a large acquisition opportunity arises and we proceed, a substantial portion of our cash and surplus borrowing capacity could be used for the acquisition or we may seek additional debt or equity financing.
Potential acquisition opportunities become available to us from time to time, and we periodically engage in discussions or negotiations relating to potential acquisitions, including acquisitions that may be material in size or scope to our business. Any acquisition may or may not occur and, if an acquisition does occur, it may not be successful in enhancing our business for one or more of the following reasons:
•Any business acquired may not be integrated successfully and may not prove profitable;
•The price we pay for any business acquired may overstate the value of that business or otherwise be too high;
•Liabilities we take on through the acquisition may prove to be higher than we expected;
•We may fail to achieve acquisition synergies; and/or
•The focus on the integration of operations of acquired entities may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operation of our businesses.
Inherent in any future acquisition is the risk of transitioning company cultures and facilities. The failure to efficiently and effectively achieve such transitions could increase our costs and decrease our profitability.
If we are unable to successfully control our costs and efficiently manage our operations, it may place a significant strain on our management and administrative resources and lead to increased costs and reduced profitability.
We have implemented cost savings initiatives to align our business with current and expected economic conditions. Our ability to operate our business successfully and implement our strategies depends, in part, on our ability to allocate our resources optimally in each of our facilities in order to maintain efficient operations. Ineffective management could cause manufacturing inefficiencies, increase our operating costs, place significant strain on our management and administrative resources, and prevent us from being able to take advantage of opportunities as economic conditions improve. If we are unable to align our cost structure in response to prevailing economic conditions on a timely basis, or if implementation or failure to implement any cost structure adjustments has an adverse impact on our business or prospects, then our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be negatively affected.
Similarly, it is critical that we appropriately manage our planned capital expenditures in this uncertain economic environment. For example, we have invested or plan to invest approximately $50 to $55 million in new capital expenditures in 2022. If we fail to manage the projects related to these capital expenditures in an effective manner, we may lose the opportunity to obtain some new customer orders or the ability to operate our businesses efficiently. Even if we effectively implement these projects, the orders needed to support the capital expenditure may not be obtained, may be delayed, or may be less than expected, which may result in sales or profitability at lower levels than anticipated.
Our results of operations could materially suffer if we are unable to obtain sufficient pricing for our products and services to meet our profitability expectations.
If we are unable to obtain favorable pricing for our products and services in a timely manner, our revenues and profitability could materially suffer. For example, current conditions in our supply chain have resulted in rapid increases in the prices for the raw materials we use. Furthermore, the prices we are able to charge for our products and services are affected by a number of other factors, including:
•general economic and political conditions;
•our customers’ desire to reduce their costs;
11

•the competitive environment;
•our ability to accurately estimate our costs, including our ability to estimate the impact of inflation on our costs over long-term contracts; and
•the procurement practices of our customers.
Our inability to pass increased prices along to our customers in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We depend on the availability of certain key suppliers; if we experience difficulty with a supplier, we may have difficulty finding alternative sources of supply.
The cost, quality, and availability of raw materials, certain specialty metals and specialized components used to manufacture our products are critical to our success. The materials and components we use to manufacture our products are sometimes custom made and may be available only from a few suppliers, and the lead times required to obtain these materials and components can often be significant. We rely on sole suppliers or a limited number of suppliers for some of these materials, including special grades of aluminum used in our brazed aluminum heat exchangers and compressors included in some of our product offerings. While we have not historically encountered problems with availability, and our global sourcing team has mitigated these risks by increasing inventory for some of these materials, this does not mean that we will continue to have timely access to adequate supplies of essential materials and components in the future or that supplies of these materials and components will be available on satisfactory terms when needed. If our vendors for these materials and components are unable to meet our requirements, fail to make shipments in a timely manner, or ship defective materials or components, we could experience a shortage or delay in supply or fail to meet our contractual requirements, which would adversely affect our results of operations and negatively impact our cash flow and profitability.
We carry goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on our balance sheet, which are subject to impairment testing and could subject us to significant non-cash charges to earnings in the future if impairment occurs.
As of December 31, 2021, we had goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $1,149.2 million, which represented approximately 37.8% of our total assets. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. Factors that could indicate that our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired include a decline in our stock price and market capitalization, lower than projected operating results and cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry. Our stock price historically has shown volatility and often fluctuates significantly in response to market and other factors. Declines in our stock price, lower operating results and any decline in industry conditions in the future could increase the risk of impairment. Impairment testing incorporates our estimates of future operating results and cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting segments, estimates of future growth rates, and our judgment regarding the applicable discount rates used on estimated operating results and cash flows. As a result of the above analyses, we recorded an impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible assets of $16.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. If we determine at a future time that further impairment exists, it may result in a significant non-cash charge to earnings and lower stockholders’ equity.
The Covid-19 pandemic may disrupt our operations and could adversely affect our business in the future.
While the Covid-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our business or operations to date, the pandemic could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition in the future. The Covid-19 pandemic may affect our business, including as a result of temporary facility closures, work-from-home orders and policies, absenteeism in our facilities, inability to efficiently transport our goods, social distancing and other health and safety protocols and reduced customer demand. We have experienced temporary facility closures in response to government mandates and for the safety of our employees due to positive diagnoses for Covid-19 in certain facilities. Any future temporary facility closures could impact our productivity and hamper the implementation of our ongoing operational improvement efforts. We have implemented work-from-home policies for many employees. The effects of these work-from-home policies could be negative and could impact productivity, research and development efforts, our ongoing operational improvement efforts, internal control over financial reporting, record keeping and access to books and records, and could lead to increased cyber security or data privacy risks. We do not yet know when these work-from-home policies will change or how they may develop. The Covid-19 pandemic could impact the timing of our operational improvement efforts by limiting our ability to implement planned improvements at several of our facilities. The Covid-19 pandemic could adversely impact our ability to secure materials for our products or supplies for our facilities or to provide personal protective equipment for our employees, any of which could adversely affect our operations. Even after the Covid-19 pandemic subsides, there may be long-term effects on our business practices and customers in economies in which we operate that could severely disrupt our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Any or all of these risks could be
12

increased or intensified if there is a resurgence of the Covid-19 virus and its variants after the initial outbreaks subside. As we cannot predict the duration, scope or severity of the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to develop and change rapidly, the negative financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material.
Our backlog is subject to modification, termination or reduction of orders, which could negatively impact our sales.
Our backlog is comprised of the portion of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments received from customers that we have not recognized as sales. The dollar amount of backlog as of December 31, 2021 was $1,190.1 million. Our backlog can be significantly affected by the timing of orders for large projects, and the amount of our backlog at December 31, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which backlog will be recognized as sales. Although modifications and terminations of our orders may be partially offset by cancellation fees, customers can, and sometimes do, terminate or modify these orders. We cannot predict whether cancellations will accelerate or diminish in the future. Cancellations of purchase orders, indications that the customers will not perform or reductions of product quantities in existing contracts could substantially and materially reduce our backlog and, consequently, our future sales. Our failure to replace canceled orders could negatively impact our sales and results of operations. We did not have any significant cancellations in 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Due to the nature of our business and products, we may be liable for damages based on product liability and warranty claims.
Due to the high pressures and low temperatures at which many of our products are used, the inherent risks associated with concentrated industrial and hydrocarbon gases, and the fact that some of our products are relied upon by our customers or end users in their facilities or operations or are manufactured for relatively broad industrial, transportation, or consumer use, we face an inherent risk of exposure to claims (which we have been subject to from time to time and some of which were substantial including the cryobiological storage tank lawsuits filed in 2018 as discussed in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” relating to our since divested Cryobiological business, but for which we retained certain potential liabilities) in the event that the failure, use, or misuse of our products results, or is alleged to result, in death, bodily injury, property damage, or economic loss. We believe that we meet or exceed existing professional specification standards recognized or required in the industries in which we operate. Although we currently maintain product liability coverage, which we believe is adequate for existing product liability claims and for the continued operation of our business, it includes customary exclusions and conditions, it may not cover certain specialized applications such as aerospace-related applications, and it generally does not cover warranty claims. Additionally, such insurance may become difficult to obtain or be unobtainable in the future on terms acceptable to us. A successful product liability claim or series of claims against us, including one or more consumer claims purporting to constitute class actions or claims resulting from extraordinary loss events, in excess of or outside our insurance coverage, or a significant warranty claim or series of claims against us, could materially decrease our liquidity, impair our financial condition, and adversely affect our results of operations.
Governmental energy policies could change or expected changes could fail to materialize which could adversely affect our business or prospects.
Energy policy can develop rapidly in the markets we serve, including the United States, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America. Within the last few years, significant developments have taken place, primarily in international markets that we serve with respect to energy policy and related regulations. We anticipate that energy policy will continue to be an important regulatory priority globally, as well as on a national, state, and local level. As energy policy continues to evolve, the existing rules and incentives that impact the energy-related segments of our business may change. It is difficult, if not impossible, to predict what changes in energy policy might occur in the future and the timing of potential changes and their impact on our business, including potential changes that could originate from the current U.S Presidential administration. The elimination or reduction of favorable policies for our energy-related business, or the failure to adopt expected policies that would benefit our business, could negatively impact our sales and profitability.
Changes in the energy industry, including pricing fluctuations and reductions and capital expenditures could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A significant amount of our sales is to customers in the energy production and supply industry. Our concentration of sales to the energy industry has increased as a result of our recent acquisitions and the divestiture of our oxygen-related products business in December 2018 and our Cryobiological business in October 2020. A portion of our sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 were generated by end-users in the energy industry, with many of our products sold for natural gas-related applications. Accordingly, demand for a significant portion of our products depends upon the level of capital expenditures by companies in the oil and gas industry, which depends, in part, on energy prices, as well as the price of oil relative to natural gas for some applications. Some applications for our products could see greater demand when prices for natural gas are relatively
13

low compared to oil prices, but a sustained decline in energy prices generally and a resultant downturn in energy production activities could negatively affect the capital expenditures of our customers. Deterioration and significant decline in the capital expenditures of our customers, whether due to a decrease in the market price of energy or otherwise, may decrease demand for our products and cause downward pressure on the prices we charge. Accordingly, if there is a downturn in the energy production and supply industry, including a decline in the cost of oil relative to natural gas, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our exposure to fixed-price contracts, including exposure to fixed pricing on long-term customer contracts and performance guarantees, could negatively impact our financial results.
A substantial portion of our sales has historically been derived from fixed-price contracts for large system projects which may involve long-term fixed price commitments to customers or guarantees of equipment or process performance and which are sometimes difficult to execute. To the extent that any of our fixed-price contracts are delayed, we fail to satisfy a performance guarantee, our subcontractors fail to perform, contract counterparties successfully assert claims against us, the original cost estimates in these or other contracts prove to be inaccurate or the contracts do not permit us to pass increased costs on to our customers, profitability from a particular contract may decrease or project losses may be incurred, which, in turn, could decrease our sales and overall profitability. The uncertainties associated with our fixed-price contracts make it more difficult to predict our future results and exacerbate the risk that our results will not match expectations, which has happened in the past.
Fluctuations in currency exchange or interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
A significant portion of our revenue and expense is incurred outside of the United States. We must translate revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using exchange rates during or at the end of each period. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates have had, and will continue to have an impact on our financial condition, operating results, and cash flow. While we monitor and manage our foreign currency exposure with limited use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate these exposures, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may materially impact our financial and operational results.
In addition, we are exposed to changes in interest rates. While our convertible notes have a fixed cash coupon, other instruments, primarily borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026 are exposed to a variable interest rate. The impact of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates to our senior secured revolving credit facility is discussed in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section of this Annual Report.
As an increasingly global business, we are exposed to economic, political, and other risks in different countries which could materially reduce our sales, profitability or cash flows, or materially increase our liabilities.
Since we manufacture and sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, 56%, 51%, and 48%, respectively, of our sales occurred in international markets. Our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
•changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
•exchange controls and currency restrictions;
•changes in a specific country’s or region’s political, social or economic conditions, particularly in emerging markets;
•civil unrest, the threat of or actual military conflict between nations, other turmoil or outbreak of disease or illness, such as Covid-19, in any of the countries in which we sell our products or in which we or our suppliers operate;
•tariffs, other trade protection measures, as discussed in more detail below, and import or export licensing requirements;
•potential adverse changes in trade agreements between the United States and foreign countries, including the recently enacted United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), among the United States, Canada and Mexico;
•uncertainty and potentially negative consequences relating to the implementation of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union (“Brexit”);
•potentially negative consequences from changes in U.S. and international tax laws;
•difficulty in staffing and managing geographically widespread operations;
•differing labor regulations;
•requirements relating to withholding taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;
•different regulatory regimes controlling the protection of our intellectual property;
14

•restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in these jurisdictions;
•restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our foreign subsidiaries;
•difficulty in collecting international accounts receivable;
•difficulty in enforcement of contractual obligations under non-U.S. law;
•transportation delays or interruptions;
•changes in regulatory requirements; and
•the burden of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws.
Our international operations and sales also expose us to different local political and business risks and challenges. For example, we are faced with potential difficulties in staffing and managing local operations and we have to design local solutions to manage credit and legal risks of local customers and distributors, which may not be effective. In addition, because some of our international sales are to suppliers that perform work for foreign governments, we are subject to the political risks associated with foreign government projects. For example, certain foreign governments may require suppliers for a project to obtain products solely from local manufacturers or may prohibit the use of products manufactured in certain countries.
Our operations in markets such as Asia, Australia, India, Europe, and South America, may cause us difficulty due to greater regulatory barriers than in the United States, the necessity of adapting to new regulatory systems, problems related to entering new markets with different economic, social and political systems and conditions, and significant competition from the primary participants in these markets, some of which may have substantially greater resources than us. In addition, unstable political conditions or civil unrest, including political instability or threatened military actions in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Hong Kong or elsewhere, could negatively impact our order levels and sales in a region or our ability to collect receivables from customers or operate or execute projects in a region.
Changes in U.S. trade policy, tariff and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our international operations and transactions also depend upon favorable trade relations between the United States and the foreign countries in which our customers and suppliers have operations. Changes in U.S. or international social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories or countries where we currently sell our products or conduct our business, as well as any negative sentiment toward the U.S. as a result of such changes, could adversely affect our business. The Trump administration instituted or proposed changes in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., economic sanctions on individuals, corporations or countries, and other government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries where we conduct our business. It may be time-consuming and expensive for us to alter our business operations in order to adapt to or comply with these and any additional changes that may be implemented by the Biden administration.
U.S. government policy changes and proposals may result in greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade. The implementation of new tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments have instituted or have been considering imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods. We do a significant amount of business that would be impacted by changes to the trade policies of the U.S. and foreign countries (including governmental action related to tariffs, international trade agreements, or economic sanctions). Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof, our industry and the global demand for our products. We may not succeed in developing and implementing policies and strategies to counter the foregoing factors effectively in each location where we do business and the foregoing factors may cause a reduction in our sales, profitability or cash flows, or cause an increase in our liabilities.
Data privacy and data security considerations could impact our business.
The interpretation and application of data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) in Europe, are uncertain and evolving. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data security practices. Complying with these various laws is difficult and could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. Further, although we are implementing internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with the GDPR and other privacy-related laws, rules and regulations (collectively, the “Data Protection Laws”), there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will enable us to fully comply with all Data Protection Laws.
15

Despite our efforts to protect sensitive information and confidential and personal data, comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations and implement data security measures, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to security breaches and other data loss, including cyber-attacks. In addition, it is not possible to predict the impact on our business of the future loss, alteration or misappropriation of information in our possession related to us, our employees, former employees, customers, suppliers or others. This could lead to negative publicity, legal claims, theft, modification or destruction of proprietary information or key information, damage to or inaccessibility of critical systems, manufacture of defective products, production downtimes, operational disruptions and other significant costs, which could adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to potential insolvency or financial distress of third parties.
We are exposed to the risk that third parties to various arrangements who owe us money or goods and services, or who purchase goods and services from us, will not be able to perform their obligations or continue to place orders due to insolvency or financial distress. If third parties fail to perform their obligations under arrangements with us, we may be forced to replace the underlying commitment at current or above market prices or on other terms that are less favorable to us or we may have to write off receivables in the case of customer failures to pay. If this happens, whether as a result of the insolvency or financial distress of a third party or otherwise, we may incur losses, or our results of operations, financial position or liquidity could otherwise be adversely affected.
Failure to protect our intellectual property and know-how could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage and reduce our sales and profitability, and the cost of protecting our intellectual property may be significant.
We rely on a combination of internal procedures, nondisclosure agreements and intellectual property rights assignment agreements, as well as licenses, patents, trademarks and copyright law to protect our intellectual property and know-how. Our intellectual property rights may not be successfully asserted in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. For example, we frequently explore and evaluate potential relationships and projects with other parties, which often require that we provide the potential partner with confidential technical information. While confidentiality agreements are typically put in place, there is a risk the potential partner could violate the confidentiality agreement and use our technical information for its own benefit or the benefit of others or compromise the confidentiality. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries in which our products may be sold or manufactured do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In addition, the United States has transitioned from a “first-to-invent” to a “first-to-file” patent system, which means that between two identical, pending patent applications, the first inventor no longer receives priority on the patent to the invention. As a result, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act may require us to incur significant additional expense and effort to protect our intellectual property. Failure or inability to protect our proprietary information could result in a decrease in our sales or profitability.
We have obtained and applied for some U.S. and foreign trademark and patent registrations and will continue to evaluate the registration of additional trademarks and patents, as appropriate. We cannot guarantee that any of our pending applications will be approved. Moreover, even if the applications are approved, third parties may seek to oppose or otherwise challenge them. A failure to obtain registrations in the United States or elsewhere could limit our ability to protect our trademarks and technologies and could impede our business. Further, the protection of our intellectual property may require expensive investment in protracted litigation and the investment of substantial management time and there is no assurance we ultimately would prevail or that a successful outcome would lead to an economic benefit that is greater than the investment in the litigation. The patents in our patent portfolio are scheduled to expire from 2022 to 2039.
In addition, we may be unable to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and know-how without our authorization or from independently developing intellectual property that is the same as or similar to ours, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our intellectual property rights as fully as in the United States. We compete in a number of industries (e.g., heat exchangers and cryogenic storage) that are small or specialized, which makes it easier for a competitor to monitor our activities and increases the risk that ideas will be stolen. The unauthorized use of our know-how by third parties could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage we have developed, cause us to lose sales or otherwise harm our business or increase our expenses as we attempt to enforce our rights.
We may be required to make expenditures in order to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and climate change regulations, or incur additional liabilities under these laws and regulations.
We are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that impose various environmental controls on us or otherwise relate to environmental protection and various health and safety matters, including the discharge of pollutants in the air and water, the handling, use, treatment, storage and clean-up of solid and hazardous materials and wastes, the investigation and remediation of soil and groundwater affected by hazardous substances and the requirement to obtain and
16

maintain permits and licenses. These laws and regulations often impose strict, retroactive and joint and several liability for the costs and damages resulting from cleaning up our or our predecessors’ facilities and third-party disposal sites. Compliance with these laws generally increases the costs of transportation and storage of raw materials and finished products, as well as the costs of storing and disposing waste, and could decrease our liquidity and profitability and increase our liabilities. Health and safety and other laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate impose various requirements on us including state licensing requirements that may benefit our customers. If we are found to have violated any of these laws, we may become subject to corrective action orders and fines or penalties, and incur substantial costs, including substantial remediation costs and commercial liability to our customers. Further, we also could be subject to future liability resulting from conditions that are currently unknown to us that could be discovered in the future.
We are currently remediating or developing work plans for remediation of environmental conditions involving certain current or former facilities. For example, the discovery of contamination arising from historical industrial operations at our Clarksville, Arkansas property, which is currently being leased to a third party business, has exposed us, and in the future may continue to expose us, to remediation obligations. We have also been subject to environmental liabilities for other sites where we formerly operated or at locations where we or our predecessors did or are alleged to have operated. To date, our environmental remediation expenditures and costs for otherwise complying with environmental laws and regulations have not been material, but the uncertainties associated with the investigation and remediation of contamination and the fact that such laws or regulations change frequently makes predicting the cost or impact of such laws and regulations on our future operations uncertain. Stricter environmental, safety and health laws, regulations or enforcement policies could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us and could subject us to more rigorous scrutiny. Consequently, compliance with these laws could result in significant expenditures, as well as other costs and liabilities that could decrease our liquidity and profitability and increase our liabilities.
There is a growing political and scientific consensus that emissions of greenhouse gases alter the composition of the global atmosphere in ways that are affecting the global climate. Various stakeholders, including legislators and regulators, stockholders and non-governmental organizations, as well as companies in many business sectors, are considering ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. New regulations could result in product standard requirements for our global businesses but because any impact is dependent on the design of the mandate or standard, we are unable to predict its significance at this time. Furthermore, the potential physical impacts of theorized climate change on our customers, and therefore on our operations, are speculative and highly uncertain, and would be particular to the circumstances developing in various geographical regions. These may include changes in weather patterns (including drought and rainfall levels), water availability, storm patterns and intensities, and temperature levels. These potential physical effects may adversely impact the cost, production, sales and financial performance of our operations.
Our pension plan is currently underfunded and we contribute to a multi-employer plan for collective bargaining U.S. employees, which is also underfunded.
Certain U.S. hourly and salaried employees are covered by our defined benefit pension plan. The plan has been frozen since February 2006. As of December 31, 2021, the projected benefit obligation under our pension plan was approximately $63.5 million, and the value of the assets of the plan was approximately $61.9 million, resulting in our pension plan being underfunded by approximately $1.6 million.
We are also a participant in a multi-employer plan, which is underfunded. Among other risks associated with multi-employer plans, contributions and unfunded obligations of the multi-employer plan are shared by the plan participants and we may inherit unfunded obligations if other plan participants withdraw from the plan or cease to participate. Additionally, if we elect to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, we may be required to pay amounts related to withdrawal liabilities associated with the underfunded status of the plan. If the performance of the assets in our pension plan or the multi-employer plan does not meet expectations or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, our required pension contributions for future years could be higher than we expect, which may negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We operate in many different jurisdictions and we could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar worldwide anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our internal policies mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced corruption to some degree, and in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-corruption laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Despite our training and compliance programs, we cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures always will protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Our
17

continued expansion outside the U.S., including in developing countries, could increase the risk of such violations in the future. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Our operations could be impacted by the effects of severe weather.
Some of our operations, including our operations in New Iberia, Louisiana, Theodore, Alabama and Houston, Texas, are located in geographic regions and physical locations that are susceptible to physical damage and longer-term economic disruption from hurricanes or other severe weather. We also could make significant future capital expenditures in hurricane-susceptible or other severe weather locations from time to time. These weather events can disrupt our operations, result in damage to our properties and negatively affect the local economy in which these facilities operate. Hurricanes or other severe weather may cause production or delivery delays as a result of the physical damage to the facilities, the unavailability of employees and temporary workers, the shortage of or delay in receiving certain raw materials or manufacturing supplies and the diminished availability or delay of transportation for customer shipments, any of which may have an adverse effect on our sales and profitability. Additionally, the potential physical impact of theorized climate change could include more frequent and intense storms, which would heighten the risk to our operations in areas that are susceptible to hurricanes and other severe weather. Although we maintain insurance subject to certain deductibles, which may cover some of our losses, that insurance may become unavailable or prove to be inadequate.
We are subject to regulations governing the export of our products.
Due to our significant foreign sales, our export activities are subject to regulation, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control’s regulations. We believe we are in compliance with these regulations and maintain robust programs intended to maintain compliance. However, unintentional lapses in our compliance or uncertainties associated with changing regulatory requirements could result in future violations (or alleged violations) of these regulations. Any violations may subject us to government scrutiny, investigation and civil and criminal penalties and may limit our ability to export our products.
As a provider of products to the U.S. government, we are subject to certain federal rules, regulations, audits and investigations, the violation or failure of which could adversely affect our business.
We sell certain of our products to the U.S. government; and, therefore, we must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations governing purchases by the U.S. government. Although we are not subject to all contractor requirements, such as the Covid-19 vaccination requirements applicable to “covered contractors”, the generally more extensive requirements governing “Government contract laws and regulations” affect how we do business with our government customers and, in some instances, impose added costs on our business. For example, a violation of specific laws and regulations could result in the imposition of fines and penalties or the termination of our contracts or debarment from bidding on contracts. In some instances, these laws and regulations impose terms or rights that are more favorable to the government than those typically available to commercial parties in negotiated transactions.
Current economic and political conditions make tax rules in jurisdictions subject to significant change, and unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate could adversely affect our future results.
Our future results of operations could be affected by changes in the effective tax rate as a result of changes in tax laws, regulations and judicial rulings. In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law in the United States, which among other things, lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and moved the country towards a territorial tax system with a one-time mandatory tax on previously deferred foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Although our effective tax rate decreased during 2018, there can be no assurances that any expected benefit from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will be maintained long-term given political and other uncertainties.
Also, further changes in the tax laws of foreign jurisdictions could arise, including as a result of the base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) project undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD, which represents a coalition of member countries, has issued recommendations that, in some cases, would make substantial changes to numerous long-standing tax positions and principles. These contemplated changes, to the extent adopted by OECD members and/or other countries, could increase tax uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes.
Our effective tax rate could also be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates, certain non-deductible expenses arising from share-based compensation, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in accounting principles. In addition, we are subject to income tax audits by many tax jurisdictions throughout the world. Although we believe our income tax liabilities are reasonably estimated and accounted for
18

in accordance with applicable laws and principles, an adverse resolution of one or more uncertain tax positions in any period could have a material impact on the results of operations for that period.
Risks Related to Our Leverage
Our leverage and future debt service obligations could adversely affect our financial condition, limit our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, impact the way we operate our business, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt and prevent us from fulfilling our debt service obligations.
We are leveraged and have future debt service obligations. Our financial performance could be affected by our leverage. As of December 31, 2021, our total indebtedness was $859.6 million. In addition, at that date, under our senior secured revolving credit facility, we had $30.0 million of letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding and borrowing capacity of approximately $369.2 million. Through separate facilities, our subsidiaries had $31.2 million of letters of credit bank guarantees outstanding at December 31, 2021.
Our level of indebtedness could have important negative consequences, including:
•difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow and reduced availability of cash for our operations and other business activities;
•difficulty in obtaining financing in the future;
•exposure to risk of increased interest rates due to variable rates of interest under our senior secured revolving credit facility;
•vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse industry conditions;
•increased competitive disadvantage due to our debt service obligations;
•adverse customer reaction to our debt levels;
•inability to comply with covenants in, and potential for default under, our debt instruments; and
•failure to refinance any of our debt. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to sell assets, seek additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. We may be unable to consummate those asset sales to raise capital or sell assets at prices that we believe are fair and proceeds that we do receive may be inadequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
We may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks that we face.
We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of our debt instruments do not fully prohibit us from doing so. Our senior secured revolving credit facility provides commitments of up to $1,000.0 million, approximately $369.2 million of which would have been available for future borrowings (after giving effect to letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding) as of December 31, 2021. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt Instruments and Related Covenants.” If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.
The senior secured revolving credit facility contains a number of restrictive covenants which limit our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest.
The senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026 imposes, and the terms of any future indebtedness may impose, operating and other restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. Such restrictions affect or will affect, and in various circumstances limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
•incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
•create liens;
•pay dividends based on our leverage ratio and make other distributions in respect of our capital stock;
•redeem or buy back our capital stock based on our leverage ratio;
•make certain investments or certain other restricted payments;
•enter into a new line of business;
19

•sell or transfer certain kinds of assets;
•enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; and
•effect mergers or consolidations.
The senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026 also requires us to achieve certain financial and operating results and maintain compliance with specified financial ratios. Our ability to comply with these ratios may be affected by events beyond our control.
The restrictions contained in the senior secured revolving credit facility could:
•limit our ability to plan for or react to market or economic conditions or meet capital needs or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans; and
•adversely affect our ability to finance our operations, acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances or other capital needs or to engage in other business activities that would be in our interest.
A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under our senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026. If an event of default occurs under our senior secured revolving credit facility, which includes an event of default under the indenture governing our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024, the lenders could elect to:
•declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable; or
•require us to apply all of our available cash to repay the borrowings,
either of which could result in an event of default under our convertible notes or prevent us from making payments on the convertible notes when due in 2024, as the case may be. The lenders will also have the right in these circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further financing.
If we were unable to repay or otherwise refinance these borrowings when due, our lenders could sell the collateral securing the senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026, which constitutes substantially all of our and our domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries’ assets.
Our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024 have certain fundamental change and conditional conversion features which, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition.
If a fundamental change occurs under our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024, the holders of the convertible notes may require us to purchase for cash any or all of the convertible notes. However, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds at the time of the fundamental change to purchase all of the convertible notes delivered for purchase, and we may not be able to arrange necessary financing on acceptable terms, if at all. Likewise, if one of the conversion contingencies of our convertible notes is triggered, holders of convertible notes will be entitled to convert the convertible notes at any time during specified periods.
We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the convertible note hedge and capped call transactions associated with our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024.
The option counterparties for our convertible note hedging arrangements are financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the convertible note hedge and capped call transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties is not secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions during the 2008-2009 economic downturn resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the convertible note hedge and capped call transactions with that option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated to the increase in the market price and in the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the option counterparties.
Risks Related to the Trading Market for Our Common Stock
Our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, price volatility.
Our common stock has at times experienced substantial price volatility as a result of many factors, including the general volatility of stock market prices and volumes, changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance, variations
20

between our actual and anticipated financial results, fluctuations in order or backlog levels, fluctuations in energy prices, or uncertainty about current global economic conditions. For these reasons, among others, the price of our stock may continue to fluctuate.
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and other agreements and in Delaware law may discourage a takeover attempt.
Provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us. Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law impose various procedural and other requirements, which could make it more difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. For example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of unissued series of preferred stock, without any vote or action by our stockholders. Therefore, our board of directors can authorize and issue shares of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting or other rights of holders of our common stock. These rights may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change of control of our company. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
In addition, the terms of our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024 may require us to purchase these convertible notes for cash in the event of a takeover of our Company. The indentures governing the convertible notes also prohibit us from engaging in certain mergers or acquisitions unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the convertible notes. These and other provisions applicable to the convertible notes may have the effect of increasing the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us.
The issuance of common stock upon conversion of our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024 could cause dilution to the interests of our existing stockholders.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $258.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2024, the convertible notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Holders may convert their 1.00% convertible notes at their option at any time after August 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding November 15, 2024. As a result of attaining these specified market price conditions, the notes were convertible in the first quarter of 2022, although no notes have been converted to date. On December 31, 2020, we amended the Indenture governing our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024 to eliminate share settlement thus leaving us with two settlement options: (1) cash settlement or (2) cash for par and any combination of cash and shares for the excess settlement amount above the $258.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024. We currently intend to settle conversions of 1.00% convertible notes through a combination of the payment of cash and issuance of shares, with payments of cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes to be converted and delivering shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted. The number of shares issued could be significant and such an issuance could cause significant dilution to the interests of the existing stockholders.

Regulatory Environment
We are subject to federal, state, and local regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, production and handling of hazardous and regulated materials, and the conduct and condition of our production facilities. We do not believe that these regulatory requirements have had a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We are not anticipating any material capital expenditures in 2022 that are directly related to regulatory compliance matters. We are also not aware of any pending or potential regulatory changes that would have a material adverse impact on our business.
Item 3.Legal Proceedings
In connection with our divestiture of our Cryobiological business, Chart retained certain potential liabilities, including claims in connection with our following litigation. During the second quarter of 2018, Chart was named in lawsuits (including lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) filed against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of a stainless steel cryobiological storage tank (model MVE 808AF-GB) at the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, California. In May and June of 2021, the first five of the federal lawsuits went to trial, and on June 10, 2021, the jury reached a verdict against Chart in favor of the plaintiffs in those lawsuits in the amount of $14.9 million, of which 90% ($13.5 million) is attributable to Chart. On August 13, 2021, judgment was entered, and on September 10, 2021, we
22

filed two post-trial motions: a motion for a new trial and a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law. The motion for new trial or, in the alternative, request for remittitur, sought, among other relief, to have the court grant a new trial because of erroneous evidentiary rulings, a factually unsupported negligence claim, plaintiffs’ attorney misconduct, allocation of fault that was not supported by the record, and excessive noneconomic damages. The renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law sought to have the court direct judgment for Chart on the negligent failure to recall claim because of our contention that plaintiffs failed to present sufficient evidence to prove each element of that claim. On November 5, 2021, the court denied these post-trial motions. Chart filed its notice of appeal on December 1, 2021. On December 7, 2021, the court stayed the remaining federal lawsuits pending resolution of Chart’s appeal.
In the second quarter 2021, we recorded a loss contingency accrual and corresponding charge to net income for $13.5 million in the amount of the jury verdict attributable to Chart. The loss contingency accrual is included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Chart expects that any potential loss associated with the verdict will be covered by existing product liability insurance, subject to previously issued reservations of rights by the insurance carriers. Accordingly, we have recorded an offsetting $13.5 million loss recovery receivable with a corresponding credit to net income. The loss recovery receivable is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Although we continue to vigorously contest the result in this case, we continue to recognize the loss contingency accrual and related loss recovery receivable in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021.
Currently there are 164 individual cases (excluding the first five cases from the May/June 2021 trial) with respect to the Pacific Fertility Center incident on the docket in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In addition to the cases filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Chart is currently a defendant in 53 individual cases in the San Francisco Superior Court.
We have asserted various defenses against the claims in the lawsuits, which remain in various stages of development, including a defense that since manufacture, we were not in any way involved with the installation, ongoing maintenance or monitoring of the tank or related fertility center cryogenic systems at any time since the initial delivery of the tank. We continue to evaluate the merits of such claims for each specific case in light of the information available to date regarding use, maintenance and operation of the tank that was sold to the Pacific Fertility Center through an independent distributor, and which had been out of our control for six years prior to the alleged failure. We previously disclosed that a loss associated with the claims in the lawsuits was reasonably possible but not estimable. Although we have not reached a conclusion that losses in these cases are currently probable, based on further developments including the status of the various lawsuits, preliminary discussions in an attempt to resolve the entirety of these cases and the consideration of insurance coverage, we now estimate that losses of up to $50 million are reasonably possible. The reasonably possible losses are an estimate and are net of amounts we expect to be directly covered by insurance, and actual costs arising from this matter could be materially lower or higher depending on the actual costs incurred to resolve the claims in the lawsuits.
We are occasionally subject to various legal claims related to performance under contracts, product liability, taxes, employment matters, environmental matters, intellectual property, and other matters incidental to the normal course of our business. Based on our historical experience in litigating these claims, as well as our current assessment of the underlying merits of the claims and applicable insurance, if any, management believes that the final resolution of these matters, including the Pacific Fertility Center cases described above, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows, or results of operations, except that our results of operations for any particular reporting period may be adversely affected by any potential or actual loss that is accrued in such period. Future developments may, however, result in resolution of these legal claims in a way that could have a material adverse effect.

PART II
Item 5.Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Chart’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GTLS.” As of February 1, 2022, there were 177 holders of record of our common stock. Since many holders hold shares in “street name,” we believe that there are a significantly larger number of beneficial owners of our common stock than the number of record holders.
We do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, and instead intend to retain earnings, if any, for debt reduction, organic capital expenditures for productivity and capacity and potential acquisitions. The amounts available to us to pay future cash dividends may be restricted by our 2026 Credit Facilities to the extent our pro forma leverage ratio exceeds certain targets. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
Cumulative Total Return Comparison

Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this discussion and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with this discussion.
Overview
We are a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered cryogenic equipment servicing multiple applications in the industrial gas and clean energy markets. Our unique product portfolio is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain, including upfront engineering, service and repair. Being at the forefront of the clean energy transition, Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, CO2 Capture and water treatment, among other applications. We are committed to excellence in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues both for our company as well as our customers. With over 25 global manufacturing locations including in the United States, Europe, China, India, Australia and South America, we maintain accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers and communities.
Macroeconomic Impacts
Despite strong order and backlog growth, supply chain, labor and logistics issues weighed on business in the third and fourth quarters of 2021, in particular on the gross margin line as our series of price increases were not able to completely keep pace with rapidly accelerating material costs, freight, logistics and backlog timing. Furthermore, the uncertainty associated with the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic remains, which we continue to actively monitor in terms of its impact on our results of operations beyond 2021. The extent to which our operations will be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity or resurgence of the Covid-19 virus and its variants and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.
Environmental, Social, Governance
Chart is proud to be at the forefront of the clean energy transition as a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, carbon capture and water treatment, among other applications. We also captured as our unique offering for the “Nexus of Clean” clean power, clean water, clean food and clean industrials. This leadership position is possible not only because we have the broadest offering of clean innovative solutions for the various end markets we serve, but also because we are committed to global responsibility. Reporting our Environmental, Social, Governance (“ESG”) performance is one of the ways we demonstrate accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers, shareholders and communities. Below are some highlights of our ESG efforts, and further information can be found in our second Annual Sustainability report with scorecard which was released in April 2021. We intend to release our third annual sustainability report in April 2022.
•We reported a 0.80 Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) for the year ended December 31, 2021, with emphasis on safety as our #1 priority and focus on all team members being empowered and authorized to stop work if they see an unsafe or potentially unsafe situation.
•We reported no recordable incidents at any Chart location in December 2021.
•We measure progress through Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) indices, as well as contributing to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
•We utilize Riskmethods analytics to proactively monitor our supply chain for proper governance in our supplier network including their climate targets and other ESG activities.
•We have a Global ESG Committee, Global Safety Council, and Global Diversity & Inclusion Committee, all comprised of team member volunteers and engagement from every one of our global locations.
•Our Global ESG Committee has five sub-committees focused on energy management, zero waste, electrification, renewable energy and water management.
•We have recently entered into a cutting-edge sustainability-linked banking agreement with covenants tied to our Green House Gas (“GHG”) emission reductions’ actual performance.
27

•We have set a target to reduce our carbon intensity 30% by 2030 and have specific initiatives in place to help us meet this goal. In 2020, we made progress towards achieving our target by reducing GHG Intensity by almost 6.0% year-over-year.
•In terms of lowering our own emissions, we made plant improvements including energy efficient upgrades for various equipment, replacing diesel powered equipment with electric and installing LED lighting in office spaces. In 2020, Chart reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 8.5% and 8.9%, respectively, while reducing total energy consumption by almost 16.0%.
•We are our helping customers to achieve their own sustainability targets in a number of different ways whether that’s through reducing the amount of plastic used in packaging to lowering greenhouse gas emissions by enabling the transition towards cleaner fuels.
•We have an independent Board of Directors that is comprised of nine directors (four of our nine directors are female and five of our nine are diverse) and governed with a separate Chairman and CEO.
•We hold regular meetings on the topic and reviews with our Board of Directors.
•We link our executives and their direct reports short-term incentive payout (25% of the strategic and operational goals) to a metric driven, percentage-reduction ESG metric, and have done this for two years.
•Our team volunteers in their communities with a focus on supporting children and families, ending hunger and improving health. In 2020, we donated over 4,000 masks in addition to medical oxygen equipment to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. We offer every team member worldwide one paid day off each year to volunteer in our communities, and we donated over $120,000 to charities in the communities we work in during the 2021 year.
•We have an employee relief fund for our own team members that need assistance.
•Our team members raised over $30,000 to support women adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic through Dress For Success.

2021 Highlights
Being at the forefront of the clean energy transition, Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, carbon capture and water treatment, among other applications. During 2021, we continued to invest organically and inorganically for capacity, automation and manufacturing optimization as well as in the “Nexus of Clean.” We executed on a number of investments and acquisitions in 2021 to capitalize on clean energy market opportunities. In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired Cryogenic Gas Technologies, Inc. (“Cryo Technologies”), to grow our presence in liquefaction technology for the clean power market. During the third quarter of 2021, we closed on L.A. Turbine, a global leader in turboexpanders. We also acquired AdEdge Holdings, LLC (“AdEdge”) during the third quarter in order to grow our presence in the clean water market. Our ChartWater™ platform, consisting of AdEdge and BlueInGreen process technologies with Chart equipment, posted record orders, backlog and sales in both the fourth quarter 2021 as well as the full year of 2021 and has been a leading acquisition for synergy achievement in the first year of ownership. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the immediately accretive acquisition of Earthly Labs Inc. (“Earthly Labs”), a leading provider of small-scale carbon capture systems for use in municipal, agriculture and food & beverage applications.
Strong order activity contributed to record ending total backlog of $1,190.1 million as of December 31, 2021 compared to $810.0 million as of December 31, 2020 representing an increase of $380.1 million or 46.9%, which reflects the broad-based demand we continue to see year-over-year across our product categories. The increase in backlog was largely driven by record orders as of December 31, 2021 of $1,676.1 million compared to $1,210.1 million as of December 31, 2020 representing an increase of $466.0 million or 38.5%. Strong orders in our Specialty Products and Cryo Tank Solutions segments were mainly driven by the combination of larger liquefaction orders for LNG, hydrogen and helium as well as orders in distribution and storage, HLNG vehicle tanks, LNG regasification, laser applications, food & beverage applications, storage equipment and mobile equipment.
Consolidated sales increased to a record $1,317.7 million in 2021 from $1,177.1 million in 2020, representing an increase of $140.6 million or 11.9% (6.0% organically), which was mainly driven by our Specialty Products, Cryo Tank Solutions and
28

Repair, Service & Leasing segments. This increase was partially offset by lower sales in our Heat Transfer Systems segment mainly due to higher sales driven in 2020 relative to Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal project (“Calcasieu Pass”). However, we continue to see signs of a slight recovery in market conditions within this segment as indicated by an increase in customer order activity and inquiry. Specialty Products segment record sales of $432.9 million in 2021 compared to $242.6 million in 2020 represents an increase of $190.3 million or 78.4% (52.8% organically), driven by favorable sales in hydrogen and helium applications, HLNG vehicle tanks, water treatment equipment sales and food & beverage applications. This increase was bolstered by sales from the acquisitions mentioned above. Consolidated gross profit decreased during 2021 compared to 2020 by $7.9 million or 2.4%, and 2021 gross profit margin of 24.6% decreased from 28.2% in 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin compared to 2020 was primarily driven by higher material prices due to market conditions for all segments overall as discussed in the macroeconomic impacts section above, the related strategic move to carry a higher level of raw materials in inventory in order to alleviate potential supply shortages, and Calcasieu Pass volume mix which drove higher margins in 2020 in our Heat Transfer Systems segment.
Outlook
Considering our record order year in 2021, record order quarter in the fourth quarter 2021 and record backlog as of December 31, 2021, as well as visibility to our strongest ever commercial pipeline of potential work, we expect significant year-over-year sales growth. This positive outlook does not include any additional or new Big LNG projects (although orders are expected in the first half of 2022), yet it does include the impact of engineering work which began for two Big LNG projects as well as our onsite process engineering work at Venture Global Calcasieu Pass. We anticipate the first half of 2022 will include a margin drag from historical levels from the macro challenges but increasingly offset in each of the first two quarters of 2022 by the positive impact from actions we have taken to date.
Capacity and productivity organic investments are being made, which is reflected in our higher than maintenance capital expenditure outlook for 2022. We anticipate spending approximately $50 million to $55 million in capital expenditures in 2022, driven by investments in replicating production lines in strategic locations as well as implementing additional automation across our factories, which has been underway but we are investing to accelerate.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Sales in 2021 increased by $140.6 million ($70.9 million organically), from $1,177.1 million to a record $1,317.7 million, or 11.9%. This increase was primarily driven by growth in our Specialty Products segment on favorable sales in hydrogen and helium applications, HLNG vehicle tanks, water treatment equipment sales and food & beverage applications, within our Cryo Tank Solutions segment on favorable sales in mobile equipment, engineered tanks and storage systems, and within our Repair, Service & Leasing segment on favorable sales in our leasing business. This increase was partially offset by the continued softness in demand for midstream and upstream compression equipment and timing of sales recognized relative to Calcasieu Pass within our Heat Transfer Systems segment.
Gross profit in 2021 decreased by $7.9 million ($32.6 million decrease organically) from $332.1 million to $324.2 million or 2.4% compared to 2020. Gross profit margin of 24.6% in 2021 decreased from 28.2% in 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin for 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily driven by macroeconomic conditions as our price increases lagged more than the anticipated rapidly accelerating material prices and freight costs for all segments overall and Calcasieu Pass volume mix which drove higher margins in 2020 in our Heat Transfer Systems segment, partially offset by higher gross profit margins within certain recently acquired businesses. Restructuring costs recorded to cost of sales were $2.6 million and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Consolidated SG&A expenses increased by $18.6 million or 10.4% during 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily driven by a ramp up in our Specialty Products business which drove higher SG&A expenses in the segment, SG&A expenses related to recent acquisitions and higher share-based compensation expense in Corporate, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses in our Heat Transfer Systems segment due to lower employee-related costs and in our Cryo Tank Solutions segment due to a $2.6 million gain on sale of a facility in China included in SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020. Furthermore, lower restructuring costs were recorded to consolidated SG&A expenses, which were $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Asset Impairments
We recorded an impairment loss of $16.0 million during 2020 relative to our $55.0 million trademarks and trade names indefinite-lived intangible asset of our AXC business (“AXC Intangible Asset”) in our Heat Transfer Systems segment. Industry-wide softness in demand for midstream and upstream compression equipment represented impairment indicators requiring us to re-evaluate the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset. We determined the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset under the relief-from-royalty method and conducted an impairment test as defined in the Critical Accounting Estimates
32

section. We determined that the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset was $39.0 million and impaired the AXC Intangible Asset by a value equal to the difference in the carrying amount and calculated fair value.
Interest Expense, Net and Financing Costs Amortization
Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $10.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense, net, is primarily due to lower borrowings outstanding on our term loan due June 2024 during 2021 as compared to 2020. Furthermore, we no longer recognize interest accretion of convertible notes discount due to a change in accounting principle adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2021 whereas we recognized $8.0 million in interest accretion expense in 2020. For further information regarding the change in accounting principle, refer to Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in this report. Interest expense, net for both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 included $2.6 million of 1.0% cash interest and $9.0 million and $7.0 million in interest related to borrowings on our previous and current senior secured revolving credit facility, respectively.
For 2021 and 2020, financing costs amortization was $8.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The increase of $4.0 million was primarily due to the amendment of our credit facilities during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the related write off of the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with the senior secured revolving credit facility due June 2024 and the term loan due June 2024, respectively. In conjunction with the amendment of our credit facilities, we recorded charges to net income of $3.8 million of the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with the senior secured revolving credit facility due 2024 and the term loan due June 2024 as well as $0.3 million in new debt issuance costs associated with the Amended Credit Agreement resulting in a total one-time charge to net income of $4.1 million.
Unrealized (Gain) Loss On Investments In Equity Securities
During 2021, we recognized an unrealized gain on investments in equity securities of $3.2 million, which was driven by an unrealized gain of $20.7 million upon remeasurement of the initial HTEC investment due to an observable price change in an orderly transaction for similar instruments of the same issuer and a $2.2 million unrealized gain on the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment in Stabilis, partially offset by a $19.7 million unrealized loss on the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment in McPhy (Euronext Paris: MCPHY - ISIN; FR0011742329). During 2020, we recognized an unrealized gain of $17.0 million on the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment in McPhy, partially offset by a $2.9 million unrealized loss on the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment in Stabilis.
Realized Gain on Investments In Equity Securities
On December 14, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the remaining 85% of the shares of Earthly Labs. On the acquisition date, we recognized a gain of $2.6 million on the remeasurement of our initial 15% investment, which is recorded as realized gain on investment in equity securities in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)
Foreign currency losses were $0.9 million in both of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Foreign currency fluctuates due to exchange rate volatility, especially with respect to the euro and Chinese yuan.
Gain Bargain Purchase
As a result of the October 13, 2020 Alabama Trailers acquisition, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $13.5 million and $14.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 18.2% and 17.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rate of 18.2% for the year ended December 31, 2021 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and the release of previously booked valuation allowances offset by the effect of income earned by certain of our foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the federal statutory rate as well as increases in our state taxes due to expansion into new jurisdictions.
The effective income tax rate of 17.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits associated with share-based compensation and the Alabama Trailers bargain purchase gain offset by the effect of income earned by certain of our foreign entities being taxed at higher rates than the federal statutory rate as well as losses incurred by certain of our Chinese operations for which no benefit was recorded.
33

Net Income Attributable to Chart Industries, Inc. From Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to Chart Industries, Inc. from continuing operations was $59.1 million and $68.9 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Discontinued Operations
The financial results of our cryobiological products business formerly reported in our D&S West segment are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for periods prior to 2021. For further information, refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations.”
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Sales in 2020 decreased by $38.4 million from $1,215.5 million to $1,177.1 million, or 3.2%. Heat Transfer Systems segment sales decreased by $71.9 million during 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to an industry-wide softness in demand for midstream and upstream compression equipment. This decrease within the Heat Transfer Systems segment was partially offset by revenue contributions from the continued execution of our backlog on big LNG, including Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal project and other petrochemical applications and our Specialty Products segment where sales increased by $34.7 million as compared to 2019 primarily driven by favorable sales in hydrogen equipment and HLNG vehicle tanks.
Gross profit in 2020 increased by $34.6 million from $297.5 million to $332.1 million or 11.6% compared to 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased within each of our four segments in 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily as a result of ongoing cost structure improvement across the global organization, the impact of higher restructuring costs in 2019 within our Cryo Tank Solutions segment and product mix, especially where Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal project drove higher margins in our Heat Transfer Systems segment.
SG&A expenses decreased by $27.5 million, or 13.4% in 2020 compared to 2019 across multiple SG&A categories primarily as a result of cost reduction initiatives. During 2020, we implemented certain cost reduction actions across all segments and corporate to appropriately size our workforce with demand as well as eliminate redundant work. Costs were primarily related to headcount reductions. These actions resulted in total restructuring costs of $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, consisting of mainly employee severance costs. During 2020, costs to transfer operations of our heat exchanger leased facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma to our Beasley, Texas location at which we own 260 acres of land were $2.7 million. These costs were associated with severance, relocation and moving expenses. This was a cost reduction measure within our Heat Transfer Systems segment to structure the business for profitable growth in equipment for midstream and upstream energy applications.
During 2019, we implemented certain cost reduction or avoidance actions, including facility consolidations at certain of our U.S. properties, and a streamlining of the commercial activities surrounding our Lifecycle business in our Repair, Service & Leasing segment, geographic realignment of our manufacturing capacity and a facility closure in Asia, as well as departmental restructuring, including headcount reductions in each of our four segments. These actions resulted in total restructuring costs of $15.6 million, consisting of employee severance costs, disposals of property, plant and equipment and other costs. Restructuring costs for 2019 reflect a $1.6 million credit to Repair, Service & Leasing segment restructuring costs recorded in the second quarter of 2019 due to the successful negotiation of a lease termination for a facility for our previous Lifecycle business. These restructuring activities were substantially completed by the end of 2019.
Asset Impairments
As discussed in the Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 section above, we recorded an impairment loss of $16.0 million during 2020 relative to our AXC Intangible Asset.
Interest Expense, Net and Financing Costs Amortization
Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $17.7 million and $14.7 million, respectively. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2020 included $2.6 million of 1.0% cash interest and $8.0 million of non-cash interest accretion expense related to the carrying value of the convertible notes due 2024, and $7.0 million in interest related to borrowings on our previous senior secured revolving credit facility and term loan. For 2020 and 2019, financing costs amortization was $4.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase of $1.3 million was primarily due to recognition of a full year of financing costs amortization related to the term loan in 2020 as compared to six months of financing costs amortization recognized in 2019.
34

Foreign Currency Loss (Gain)
For 2020, foreign currency losses were $0.9 million as compared to foreign currency gains of $0.4 million for 2019. Losses increased by $1.3 million during 2020 due to exchange rate volatility, especially with respect to the euro and Chinese yuan.
Gain on Bargain Purchase
As discussed in the Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 section above, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of the Alabama Trailers acquisition.
Unrealized (Gain) Loss on Investment in Equity Securities
The unrealized gain on investment in equity securities was $13.1 million in 2020 as compared to the unrealized loss on investment in equity securities of $0.1 million in 2019. Gains increased by $13.2 million primarily due to a $17.0 million unrealized gain on the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment in McPhy (Euronext Paris: MCPHY – ISIN; FR0011742329), partially offset by a $2.9 million unrealized loss on the mark-to-market adjustment of our investment in Stabilis.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $14.9 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, represents taxes on both U.S. and foreign earnings at a combined effective income tax rate of 17.5% and 8.1%, respectively.

Orders and Backlog for the Year Ended and As of December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended and As of December 31, 2020
Cryo Tank Solutions segment orders for 2021 were $555.4 million, a record, as compared to $417.5 million for 2020, an increase of $137.9 million. This increase was driven by record order intake for standard tanks and mobile equipment as a result of higher pre-order activity, especially in the second quarter of 2021, as customers anticipated higher prices in future periods. Cryo Tank Solutions segment backlog totaled $346.8 million as of December 31, 2021, a record high, compared to $222.6 million as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $124.2 million.
Heat Transfer Systems segment orders for 2021 were $312.0 million (net of a $14.4 million change order) compared to $331.1 million for 2020, a decrease of $19.1 million mainly driven by softness in demand for natural gas compression
40

equipment. Included in 2020 Heat Transfer Systems segment orders was a $70 million order for a downstream project (100% air cooled heat exchangers). Heat Transfer Systems segment backlog totaled $370.4 million as of December 31, 2021 compared to $329.2 million as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $41.2 million.
Specialty Products segment orders for 2021 were a record $648.6 million ($494.0 million organically) compared to $279.2 million ($277.0 million organically) for 2020, an increase of $369.4 million ($217.0 million organically). This increase was mainly driven by strong orders in hydrogen and helium (liquefaction, distribution and storage), HLNG vehicle tanks, LNG regasification, laser applications and food & beverage applications. During 2021, we recorded four hydrogen/helium liquefaction orders totaling approximately $150 million, covering three different geographies and three different customers. The increase in orders was also attributed to an increase in food & beverage applications and favorable water treatment equipment solutions primarily related to our recent acquisitions of BlueInGreen, LLC and AdEdge. Specialty Products segment backlog totaled a record $438.2 million ($320.4 million organically) as of December 31, 2021, compared to $199.7 million ($191.5 million organically) as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $238.5 million ($128.9 million organically).
Repair, Service & Leasing segment orders for 2021 were $180.6 million compared to $196.8 million for 2020, a decrease of $16.2 million. This decrease was primarily driven by fewer high margin, short-lead time replacement equipment orders in 2021 as compared to 2020 and significant orders for ISO containers for LNG applications received in 2020, partially offset by higher aftermarket fans and air cooled heat exchangers. Furthermore, orders in our leasing and spare parts businesses were fairly consistent between periods. Repair, Service & Leasing segment backlog totaled $56.5 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $63.1 million as of December 31, 2020, a decrease of $6.6 million.
Orders and Backlog for the Year Ended and As of December 31, 2020 Compared to the Year Ended and As of December 31, 2019
Cryo Tank Solutions segment orders for 2020 were $417.5 million compared to $409.5 million for 2019, an increase of $8.0 million. This increase was primarily driven by solid order intake for mobile equipment in China and India and favorable engineered systems orders in Europe and the U.S. partially offset by unfavorable orders for mobile equipment in Europe and the U.S. During 2020, Covid-19 shut downs softened order intake during the second quarter of 2020, but increased the last half of 2020 as restrictions eased and demand for medical oxygen equipment increased. Cryo Tank Solutions segment backlog totaled $222.6 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $210.2 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $12.4 million.
Heat Transfer Systems segment orders for 2020 were $331.1 million compared to $477.5 million for 2019, a decrease of $146.4 million mainly driven by softness in demand for natural gas compression equipment.

Heat Transfer Systems segment backlog totaled $329.2 million as of December 31, 2020 compared to $357.1 million as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $27.9 million. Excluding Calcasieu Pass, Heat Transfer Systems backlog increased by $68.7 million or 28.7% in 2020 compared to 2019. Included in Heat Transfer Systems segment backlog for all periods presented is approximately $40.0 million related to the previously announced Magnolia LNG order where production release is delayed.
Specialty Products segment orders for 2020 were $279.2 million compared to $274.9 million for 2019, an increase of $4.3 million. This increase was mainly driven by an increase in HLNG vehicle tank and hydrogen equipment orders. Specialty Products segment backlog totaled $199.7 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $150.1 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $49.6 million.
Repair, Service & Leasing segment orders for 2020 were $196.8 million compared to $166.5 million for 2019, an increase of $30.3 million, which was primarily driven by increases in aftermarket fans, full lifecycle services and our expanded leasing fleet partially offset by a decrease in aftermarket air cooled heat exchangers. Repair, Service & Leasing segment backlog totaled $63.1 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $33.8 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $29.3 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our debt instruments and related covenants are described in Note 10, “Debt and Credit Arrangements,” of our consolidated financial statements included under Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $122.2 million as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $2.9 million from the balance at December 31, 2020. Our foreign subsidiaries held cash of approximately $91.2 million and $102.7 million at
41

December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to meet their liquidity needs. No material restrictions exist to accessing cash held by our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating non-U.S. cash and incurring incremental U.S. taxes. Cash equivalents are primarily invested in money market funds that invest in high quality, short-term instruments, such as U.S. government obligations, certificates of deposit, repurchase obligations, and commercial paper issued by corporations that have been highly rated by at least one nationally recognized rating organization, and in the case of cash equivalents in China, obligations of local banks. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, funds available under our senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026 or other financing alternatives, and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our normal working capital needs, capital expenditures and investments for the foreseeable future.
Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Cash used in operating activities during 2021 was $21.3 million, a decrease of $194.0 million from 2020, primarily due to a decrease in operating cash provided by working capital, particularly within inventory, accounts receivable and unbilled contract revenue during 2021. In light of widespread supply chain and cost challenges as discussed in the macroeconomic impacts section above, cash used for inventory was primarily driven by cost and availability of raw materials to ensure that we have sufficient stock to meet demand. We continually evaluate our supply chain and make strategic inventory purchases as appropriate.
Cash used in investing activities during 2021 was $361.2 million, as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $185.0 million during 2020, which includes $316.7 million in cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations primarily related to net cash proceeds of $317.5 million from the sale of our cryobiological products business in 2020. During 2021, we used $205.1 million of cash for the acquisitions of Cryogenic Gas Technologies, Inc., L.A. Turbine, AdEdge and Earthly Labs, net of cash acquired. We used $103.9 million for investments in Svante Inc., Transform Materials LLC, Cryomotive GmbH, Earthly Labs and an additional investment in HTEC Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation (“HTEC”). We also paid $52.7 million for capital expenditures. See below for discussion regarding the composition of cash provided by investing activities during 2020.
Cash provided by financing activities during 2021 was $381.9 million compared to cash used in financing activities of $363.4 million during 2020. During 2021, we borrowed $1,361.1 million on credit facilities and repaid $873.6 million in borrowings on credit facilities primarily to fund the acquisitions and investments described in the paragraph above. Furthermore, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we refinanced our senior secured revolving credit facility which resulted in additional sources of cash of $482.0 million in U.S. dollar borrowings and 78 million euros (equivalent to $90.5 million) in euro borrowings. These sources of cash repaid principal and interest outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility prior to the amendment ($478.7 million in U.S. dollar borrowings and 78 million euros (equivalent to $90.5 million) in euro borrowings) plus upfront debt issuance costs. Total debt issuance costs paid during 2021 were $3.0 million. For further discussion regarding the amendment of our credit facilities, refer to Note 10, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” of our consolidated financial statements included under Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Also during 2021, we received $6.9 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and paid $6.4 million for common stock repurchases from share-based compensation plans to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting or payment of equity awards. See below for discussion regarding the composition of cash provided by financing activities during 2020.
Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
Cash provided by operating activities during 2020 was $172.7 million and includes $18.3 million in cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations, an increase of $38.8 million from 2019, mainly due to favorable operating results, partially offset by an increase in cash used for working capital, primarily due to higher inventory levels.
Cash provided by investing activities during 2020 was $185.0 million and includes $316.7 million in cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $642.7 million during 2019, which includes $0.9 million in cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations. During 2020, we received net cash proceeds of $317.5 million from the sale of our cryobiological products business. We used $51.9 million of cash primarily for the acquisitions of Sustainable Energy Solutions, Inc. ($20.0 million) BlueInGreen, LLC ($20.0 million) and Alabama Trailers ($10.0 million), $50.8 million in investments in HTEC Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation (“HTEC”) and McPhy (Euronext Paris: MCPHY – ISIN; FR0011742329) and paid $37.9 million for capital expenditures. During 2019, we used $603.9 million of cash primarily for the acquisition of AXC and paid $36.2 million for capital expenditures.
Cash used in financing activities during 2020 was $363.4 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $511.6 million during 2019. During 2020, we borrowed $215.0 million on credit facilities and repaid $223.1 million in borrowings on credit facilities. We repaid $344.1 million in borrowings on our term loan due June 2024 mainly with proceeds
42

from the divestiture of our cryobiological products business. We used $19.3 million to repurchase shares of Chart common stock related to our share purchase program during 2020 (On March 11, 2021, the share repurchase program expired with no further repurchases). We received $11.0 million in proceeds from stock option exercises during 2020. During 2019, we borrowed $450.0 million under the term loan and received proceeds of $295.8 million from the 2019 Equity Offering to fund the AXC acquisition. During 2019, we borrowed $235.8 million on our senior secured revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs and to fund a portion of the AXC acquisition and repaid $451.1 million in senior secured revolving credit facility borrowings. Also during 2019, we received $9.4 million in proceeds from stock option exercises and used $2.0 million for common stock repurchases from share-based compensation plans to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting or payment of equity awards.
Cash Requirements
We do not currently anticipate any unusual cash requirements for working capital needs for the year ending December 31, 2022. Management anticipates we will be able to satisfy cash requirements for our ongoing business for the foreseeable future with cash generated by operations, existing cash balances and available borrowings under our credit facilities. We expect capital expenditures for 2022 to be in the range of $50.0 million to $55.0 million.
Contractual Obligations
Our known contractual obligations as of December 31, 2021 and cash requirements resulting from those obligations are as follows (all dollar amounts in millions):

| Payments Due by Period
| Total |  | Less Than 1 Year |  | 1 – 3 Years |  | 3 – 5 Years |  | More Than 5 Years
Gross debt (1) | $ | 859.6 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 258.8 |  |  | $ | 600.8 |  |  | $ | — |
Contractual convertible notes interest | 7.8 |  |  | 2.6 |  |  | 5.2 |  |  | — |  |  | — |

Total contractual cash obligations | $ | 897.5 |  |  | $ | 10.0 |  |  | $ | 276.8 |  |  | $ | 608.8 |  |  | $ | 1.9 |

_______________
(1)The $258.8 principal balance of the 2024 Notes will mature on November 15, 2024, yet the carrying amount of the 2024 Notes is treated as current for financial statement reporting purposes.
Not included in the table above is a 50.0 million euros investment commitment for the Clean H2 Infra Fund as mentioned in Note 6, “Investments.” Funding is required when the fund manager issues a capital call, which shall not exceed 30% of our capital commitment in any rolling 12-month period. Also not included in the table above are contingent consideration arrangements from prior acquisitions with a potential payout range of $0.0 million to $31.0 million.
Our commercial commitments as of December 31, 2021, which include standby letters of credit and bank guarantees, represent potential cash requirements resulting from contingent events that require performance by us or our subsidiaries pursuant to funding commitments, and are as follows (all dollar amounts in millions):

| Total |  | Expiring in 2022 |  | Expiring in 2023 and beyond
Standby letters of credit | $ | 25.6 |  |  | $ | 11.4 |  |  | $ | 14.2 |
Bank guarantees | 35.6 |  |  | 2.9 |  |  | 32.7 |
Total commercial commitments | $ | 61.2 |  |  | $ | 14.3 |  |  | $ | 46.9 |

Inventories, net
Our inventories, net, balance was $321.5 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $248.4 million at December 31, 2020, representing an increase of $73.1 million (29.4%). This increase was primarily driven by cost and availability of raw materials to ensure that we have sufficient stock to meet demand. As discussed in the sources and uses of cash section above, we continually evaluate our supply chain and make strategic inventory purchases as appropriate.
43

Accrued Income Taxes
Our accrued income taxes balance was $16.1 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $46.5 million at December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of $30.4 million (65.4)%. This decrease was primarily driven by $24.9 million in payments for income taxes related to the gain recognized on the cryobiological products divestiture.
Contingencies
We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, waste water effluents, air emissions, and handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids. We are involved with environmental compliance, investigation, monitoring, and remediation activities at certain of our owned and formerly owned manufacturing facilities and at one owned facility that is leased to a third party, and, except for these continuing remediation efforts, believe we are currently in substantial compliance with all known environmental regulations. Management believes that any additional liability in excess of amounts accrued, which may result from the resolution of such matters, should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows or results of operations.
We are occasionally subject to various legal claims related to performance under contracts, product liability, taxes, employment matters, environmental matters, intellectual property, and other matters, several of which claims assert substantial damages, in the ordinary course of our business. Based on our historical experience in litigating these claims, as well as our current assessment of the underlying merits of the claims and applicable insurance, if any, we believe the resolution of these legal claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows or results of operations. Future developments may, however, result in resolution of these legal claims in a way that could have a material adverse effect. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” for further information.
Foreign Operations
During 2021, we had operations in Asia, Australia, India, Europe, and South America, which accounted for approximately 56% of consolidated sales and 24% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Functional currencies used by these operations include the U.S. dollar, Chinese yuan, the euro, the British pound, the Japanese yen and the Indian rupee. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of transactions by these subsidiaries in currencies other than their functional currencies, and from transactions by our domestic operations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The majority of these functional currencies and the other currencies in which we record transactions are fairly stable, although we experienced variability in the current year as more fully discussed in Item 7A. The use of these currencies, combined with the use of foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts, has enabled us to be sheltered from significant gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions. This situation could change if these currencies experience significant fluctuations or the volume of forward contracts changes.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management believes the following are the more critical judgmental areas in the application of its accounting policies that affect its financial position and results of operations.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: We evaluate goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis, as of October 1 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include deterioration in general economic conditions, negative developments in equity and credit markets, a decline in stock price and market capitalization, adverse changes in the markets in which we operate, and a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods. The fair value that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from that used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.
Goodwill is analyzed on a reporting unit basis. The reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments, which are as follows: Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products and Repair Service & Leasing. To test goodwill for impairment, we first evaluate qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions and our overall financial performance to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill (the “Step 0 Test”). If we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the first step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. Otherwise, we would proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test.
44

Alternatively, we may also bypass the Step 0 Test and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the first step (“Step 1”), we estimate the fair value of our reporting units by considering income and market approaches to develop fair value estimates, which are weighted to arrive at a fair value estimate for each reporting unit. With respect to the income approach, a model has been developed to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. This fair value model incorporates estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. With respect to the market approach, a guideline company method is employed whereby pricing multiples are derived from companies with similar assets or businesses to estimate fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, then goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment charge is based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., we would measure the charge based on the result from Step 1). The assumptions and judgment used by management to estimate future cash flows, allocation of assets and cash flows among reporting units, estimates of future growth rates and selection of discount rates are subject to change due to the economic environment, including such factors as interest rates, expected market returns and volatility of markets served. Changes to the assumptions and estimates used throughout the steps described above may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and result in future impairment charges.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of our reporting units, we also compare the sum of the reporting units’ fair values to our market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units’ fair values over the market capitalization). We evaluate the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not reasonable in light of this assessment, we reevaluate our fair value estimates of the reporting units by adjusting the discount rates and other assumptions as necessary.
With respect to indefinite-lived intangible assets, we first evaluate relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, in weighing all relevant events and circumstances in totality, we determine that it is not more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, no further action is necessary. Otherwise, we would determine the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform a quantitative impairment assessment by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. We may bypass such a qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. We estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived assets using the income approach. This may include the relief from royalty method or use of a model similar to the one described above related to goodwill which estimates the future cash flows attributed to the indefinite-lived intangible asset and then discounting these cash flows back to a present value. Under the relief from royalty method, fair value is estimated by discounting the royalty savings, as well as any tax benefits related to ownership to a present value. The fair value from either approach is compared to the carrying value and an impairment is recorded if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value. Management’s estimates regarding future cash flows, selection of discount rates and estimated tax benefits are subject to change due to various economic factors and changes to the assumptions and estimates used throughout the steps described above and may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of these assets and result in future impairment charges.
As of October 1, 2021 and 2020 (“annual assessment dates”) we elected to bypass the Step 0 test and based on our Step 1 test, we determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units was greater than its respective carrying value at each annual assessment date and, therefore, no further action was necessary. Furthermore, as of the annual assessment dates, we also elected to bypass the qualitative assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets with the exception of our recently acquired trade names as of October 1, 2021 which includes Cryo Technologies, L.A. Turbine and AdEdge (together, the “recently acquired trade names”). Based on our qualitative assessment of the recently acquired trade names, we determined that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair value of each of the recently acquired trade names is less than its respective carrying amount. With one exception as discussed in the next paragraph, based on our quantitative assessments of all other trade names, we determined that the fair value of each of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was greater than its respective carrying value at each annual assessment date and, therefore, no further action was necessary.
During 2020, in connection with the annual impairment process described above, Chart, with the assistance of an outside professional accounting firm, performed an impairment analysis with respect to our AXC Intangible Asset. Our preliminary analysis determined that no impairment was required for the AXC Intangible Asset, partially as a result of the inclusion of carbon capture future revenue streams in our forecast. After further analysis, we determined that these carbon capture opportunities should not have been included in our forecast as they resulted from investments and activities that occurred in the business after October 1, 2020, the appropriate measurement date. As a result of removing this revenue from the forecast, we recorded an impairment loss of $16.0 million during 2020 relative to our $55.0 million AXC Intangible Asset in our Heat Transfer Systems segment. Industry-wide softness in demand for midstream and upstream compression equipment represented
45

impairment indicators requiring us to re-evaluate the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset. We determined the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset under the relief-from-royalty method and conducted an impairment test as defined above. We determined that the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset was $39.0 million and impaired the AXC Intangible Asset by a value equal to the difference in the carrying amount and calculated fair value.
Long-Lived Assets: We monitor our property, plant and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis. If impairment indicators exist, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available, and we perform the required analysis and record impairment charges if applicable. In conducting this analysis, we compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the net book value, the long-lived assets are considered not to be impaired. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated from discounted future net cash flows (for assets held for use) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale). In assessing the recoverability of our long-lived assets, a significant amount of judgment is involved in estimating the future cash flows, discount rates and other factors necessary to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Key assumptions used in these estimates include industry and market conditions, costs to produce and projected revenue growth. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the period such determination was made. We amortize intangible assets that have finite lives over their estimated useful lives. We had no long-lived asset impairments in the last three years.
Business Combinations: We account for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations.” We recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is assigned to goodwill. We estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets under income approaches where the fair value models incorporate estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. Assigning estimated fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the use of significant estimates, judgments, inputs and assumptions. Such assumptions are based in part on historical experience, industry and market conditions and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are thus inherently uncertain. As additional information becomes available, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition.
Investments in Equity Securities Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value: Our investments in equity securities for which there is no readily determinable fair value are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As part of our assessment for impairment indicators, judgement is involved in considering significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality or overall business prospects of the investee as well as significant adverse changes in the external environment in which an investee operates, a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates or factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. Furthermore, management must use reasonable efforts to identify an observable price change on a timely basis. Despite these efforts, we may not be able to obtain this information. If we determine that an investment is impaired, we shall measure the investment at fair value, which may involve a significant degree of judgement and subjectivity.
Contingencies: On an ongoing basis, we assess the potential liabilities related to any lawsuits or claims brought against us. While it is typically very difficult to determine the timing and ultimate outcome of such actions, management uses its best judgment to determine if it is probable that we will incur an expense related to the settlement or final adjudication of such matters and whether a reasonable estimation of such probable loss, if any, can be made. In assessing probable losses, we take into consideration estimates of the amount of insurance recoveries, if any, which are recorded in other current assets when recoverability is probable. We accrue a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainties related to the eventual outcome of litigation and potential insurance recoveries, it is possible that certain matters may be resolved for amounts materially different from any provisions or disclosures that we have previously made.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when (or as) we satisfy performance obligations by transferring a promised good or service, an asset, to a customer. An asset is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control over that asset. In most contracts, the transaction price includes both fixed and variable consideration. The variable consideration contained within our contracts with customers includes discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives,
46

performance bonuses, penalties and other similar items. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date.
For brazed aluminum heat exchangers, air cooled heat exchangers, cold boxes, liquefied natural gas fueling stations, engineered tanks, and repair services, contracts contain language that transfers control to the customer over time. For these contracts, revenue is recognized as we satisfy the performance obligations by an allocation of the transaction price to the accounting period computed using input methods such as costs incurred. Selecting the method used to measure progress towards completion for our contracts requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products to be provided. Accounting for contracts using the costs incurred input method requires management judgment relative to assessing risks and their impact on the estimates of revenue and costs. Certain factors can impact these estimates including, but not limited to, the potential for incentives or penalties on performance, schedule delays, labor productivity, the complexity of work performed and the cost and availability of materials. Revisions to estimated cost to complete a project that result from inefficiencies in our performance that were not expected in the pricing of the contract are expensed in the period in which these inefficiencies become known. Contract modifications can change a contract’s scope, price, or both. Approved contract modifications are accounted for as either a separate contract or as part of the existing contract depending on the nature of the modification which is subject to management’s judgment.
Income Taxes: The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and the consolidated tax return in accordance with the liability method. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when conditions indicate that it is more likely than not that the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance will be adjusted with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. Management must make assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our deferred tax assets and liabilities, current provision for income taxes and valuation allowances. In making such assumptions we consider all available evidence including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies.
We utilize a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position and determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement. Our income tax positions are based on research and interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which we do business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax laws between those jurisdictions, as well as the inherent uncertainty in estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, management’s estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments. Resolution of uncertain tax positions could have a material adverse effect or materially benefit our results of operations in future periods depending on their ultimate resolution.
We use an estimate of our annual effective tax rate at each interim reporting period based on the facts and circumstances available at that time, while the actual effective tax rate is calculated at year-end. In calculating these rates, significant judgment is involved regarding the application of global income tax laws and regulations and when projecting the jurisdictional mix of income. Additionally, interpretation of tax laws, court decisions or other guidance provided by taxing authorities influences our estimate of the effective income tax rates. As a result, our actual effective income tax rates and related income tax liabilities may differ materially from our estimated effective tax rates and related income tax liabilities. Any resulting differences are recorded in the period they become known.

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency values that can affect the cost of operating and financing. Accordingly, we address a portion of these risks through a program of risk management.
Interest Rate Risk: Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from various floating rate pricing mechanisms contained in our senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026. If interest rates were to increase 100 basis points (1 percent) from the weighted-average interest rate of 2.1% at December 31, 2021, and assuming no changes in the $600.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026 at December 31, 2021, our additional annual expense would be approximately $6.0 million on a pre-tax basis.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk: We operate in the United States and other foreign countries, which creates exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the normal course of business, which can impact our financial position, results of operations, cash flow, and competitive position. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into their U.S. dollar equivalents at end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, while income and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are components of other comprehensive income (loss) as reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Translation exposure is primarily with the euro, the Czech koruna, the Chinese yuan and the Indian rupee. During 2021, the Czech koruna, euro and the Indian rupee increased in relation to the U.S. dollar by less than 10% while the Chinese yuan decreased in relation to the U.S. Dollar by less than 2%. At December 31, 2021, a hypothetical further 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect our financial statements.
Chart’s primary transaction exchange rate exposures are with the euro, the Chinese yuan, the Czech koruna, the Indian rupee, the Australian dollar, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Japanese yen. Transaction gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as a component of foreign currency loss (gain). We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge anticipated and firmly committed foreign currency transactions. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The terms of the contracts are generally one year or less. At December 31, 2021, a hypothetical 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would not materially affect our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts. Additionally, assuming no changes in the 78.0 million euros in EUR Revolver Borrowings outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026 and an additional 100 basis points (1 percent) strengthening in the U.S dollar in relation to the euro as of the beginning of 2021, during the year ended December 31, 2021, our additional unrealized foreign currency gain would be approximately $0.9 million on a pre-tax basis.
Market Price Sensitive Instruments
In connection with the pricing of the 2024 Notes, we entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain parties, including affiliates of the initial purchasers of the 2024 Notes (the “Option Counterparties”). These Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon any future conversion of the 2024 Notes.
We also entered into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions with the Option Counterparties to acquire up to 4.41 million shares of our common stock. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions related to the 2024 Notes was initially $71.775 per share. Further information is located in Note 10, “Debt and Credit Arrangements,” of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9A.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2021, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls” means disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive and financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:
•Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
•Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and
•Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Management has assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based on the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the “COSO criteria”).
We did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Cryo Technologies, LAT, AdEdge and Earthly Labs, which were acquired during 2021 and which, combined, constituted $285.6 million and $249.2 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, and $34.3 million and $7.2 million of sales and operating income, respectively, for the year then ended.
Based on our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
50

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K on page F-4 under the caption “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”
Previously Disclosed Material Weaknesses
We disclosed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that we had identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that were identified in connection with our annual goodwill and trademark impairment testing, consisting of the following:
•Control Activities – The Company did not maintain effective control activities based on criteria established by the COSO framework as the control activities that involve more complex judgments did not adequately consider the competency of personnel assigned to perform the review.
•Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets, Net – As a result of the material weaknesses identified above, the Company failed to adequately design and implement internal controls over the review of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
To address the previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we took the following steps:
•With respect to our annual impairment analysis, we completed the formal review of the annual forecast by September 30, 2021;
•We evaluated and re-assessed the design of our goodwill and intangible asset impairment process, including control activities associated with the review of data provided to third-party valuation specialists and evaluated the appropriateness of the assumptions and methodology used to measure the fair value of reporting units and the reasonableness of the conclusions in the third-party valuation specialists’ reports;
•We evaluated the assignment of responsibilities associated with the accounting for goodwill and intangible asset impairment. We hired additional resources and provided additional training to existing resources; and
•In order to ensure the quality and consistency of accounting treatments and interpretation across the impairment analysis process and maintain effective control activities, we designated one of our senior accounting personnel to provide enhanced oversight to monitor the process, provide guidance on accounting treatment and assumptions and ensure quality-control for the process.
Based on the actions taken, we determined that the previously reported material weaknesses have been remediated as of December 31, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the Company’s remediation of the material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Chart Industries, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chart Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 24, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method for accounting for convertible instruments as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entities Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective transition method.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue—Contracts Recognized Over Time—Refer to Notes 2 and 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
As of December 31, 2021, net sales were $1,317.7 million, of which $482.0 million was recognized over time. For contracts that contain language that transfers control to the customer over time, revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies the performance obligations by an allocation of the transaction price to the accounting period computed using input methods such as costs incurred.
F-1

The input method measures progress toward the satisfaction of the performance obligation by multiplying the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation by the percentage of incurred inputs as of the balance sheet date to the total estimated inputs at completion after giving effect to the most current estimates.
We identified revenue associated with in-process contracts recognized over time as a critical audit matter because of the judgments necessary for management to estimate total inputs used to recognize revenue for these contracts. Management’s estimates of total inputs are subjective in nature resulting in a higher degree of audit effort and judgment. Changes in estimated inputs could have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognition.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to estimates of total inputs used to recognize revenue for contracts over time included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls over certain revenue contracts recognized over time, including management’s controls over the estimates of total inputs.
•We selected a sample of in process revenue contracts recognized over time and performed the following:
–Tested the accuracy and completeness of the inputs incurred to date.
–Evaluated the estimates of total inputs by:
▪Comparing estimates of total inputs to the original project budget and understanding changes in estimates.
▪Testing the accuracy of the remaining estimated costs by selecting costs, vouching the costs to supplier contracts or other supporting documents, and evaluating whether the estimated costs are appropriate.
▪Evaluating management’s ability to achieve the estimates of total inputs by performing corroborating inquiries with the Company’s project managers, engineers, and other relevant site personnel to understand the progress to date and the estimate of total inputs.
▪Comparing management’s estimates for the selected contracts to inputs of similar contracts, when applicable.
•We evaluated management’s ability to estimate total inputs accurately by comparing actual inputs to management’s historical estimates for contracts that have been fulfilled.
Goodwill — Refer to Notes 2 and 9 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income and market approaches. The determination of the fair value using the income approach requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future cash flows and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to pricing multiples derived from similar companies. Changes to the assumptions and estimates may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill. The goodwill balance was $952.7 million as of October 1, 2021 (the annual impairment testing date), of which $87.1 million, $434.8 million, $255.6 million, and $175.2 million was allocated to the Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products, and Repair, Service & Leasing reporting units, respectively. The fair values of Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products, and Repair, Service & Leasing reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
We identified goodwill for Heat Transfer Systems and Repair, Service & Leasing as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, the sensitivity of the valuations to changes in the assumptions, specifically related to forecasts of future revenue and operating margins and selection of the discount rate used in the income approach, and the selection of pricing multiples for similar companies used in the market approach. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these assumptions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues and operating margins (“forecasts”), and the selection of pricing multiples and discount rate included the following, among others:
•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
F-2

•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications to management and the Board of Directors, and (3) forecasted information included in the Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.
•We considered the impact of changes in the industry on management’s forecasts.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) valuation assumptions, including discount rate and pricing multiples by:
–Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and pricing multiples and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
–Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate and pricing multiples selected by management.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — Refer to Notes 2 and 9 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has trademarks and trade names that are indefinite-lived intangible assets. As of October 1, 2021 (the annual impairment testing date), the carrying value of the trademarks and trade names was $154.9 million. Management estimates the fair value of the trademarks and trade names annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed, using a relief from royalty method, which is a specific discounted cash flow method. The determination of the fair value requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and discount rates to estimate the royalty savings. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of trademarks and trade names and a significant change in fair value could cause a significant impairment.
We identified trademarks and trade names related to Air-X-Changers as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to estimate the fair value of the trademark and trade name, and the sensitivity of the valuation to changes in the assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues and selection of the discount rates used in the relief from royalty method. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these assumptions.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenues and the selection of the discount rate included the following, among others:
•We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
•We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecast of future revenue by comparing the forecasts of future revenue to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications to management and the Board of Directors, and (3) forecasted information included in the Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.
•We considered the impact of changes in the industry on management’s forecasts of future revenues.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) valuation assumptions, including discount rate by:
–Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
–Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Chart Industries, Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Chart Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in I nternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated February 24, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Cryogenic Gas Technologies, Inc., which was acquired on February 16, 2021, L.A. Turbine, which was acquired on July 1, 2021, AdEdge Holdings, LLC, which was acquired on August 27, 2021, and Earthly Labs Inc., which was acquired on December 14, 2021, and whose combined financial statements constitute $285.6 million and $249.2 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, and $34.3 million and $7.2 million of sales and operating income, respectively, for the year then ended. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at Cryogenic Gas Technologies, Inc., L.A. Turbine, AdEdge Holdings, LLC, and Earthly Labs Inc.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1 — Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
Nature of Operations: We are a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered cryogenic equipment servicing multiple applications in the industrial gas and clean energy markets. Our unique product portfolio is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain, including upfront engineering, service and repair. Being at the forefront of the clean energy transition, Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, CO2 Capture and water treatment, among other applications. We are committed to excellence in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues both for our company as well as our customers. With over 25 global locations from the United States to Asia, Australia, India, Europe and South America, we maintain accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers and communities.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications: On October 1, 2020, we closed on the sale of our cryobiological products business to Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX). Refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for further information. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2020 consolidated balance sheet in order to conform to the 2021 presentation.
NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. We have experienced temporary facility closures while awaiting appropriate government approvals in certain jurisdictions. The Covid-19 pandemic could also disrupt our supply chain and materially adversely impact our ability to secure supplies for our facilities, which could materially adversely affect our operations. There may also be long-term effects on our customers in and the economies of affected countries. As a result of these uncertainties, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. If the economy or markets in which we operate remain weak or deteriorate further, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act, among other things, includes modifications to net operating loss carryforwards provisions and the net interest expense deduction, and deferment of social security tax payments. We have not elected to avail ourselves of the CARES Act.
Share Repurchase Program: On March 11, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $75 million of the Company’s common stock over the next twelve months through various means, including open market transactions, block purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased 0.76 shares of our common stock at an average price of $25.40 per share for a total purchase price of $19.3. We suspended the program on March 20, 2020 in light of uncertainty resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and the desire to conserve cash resources. On March 11, 2021, the share repurchase program expired with no further repurchases since the Suspension Date.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents: We consider all investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. See Note 10, “Debt and Credit Arrangements” for additional information about restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances: Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable. In

addition, we estimate expected credit losses based on historical loss information then adjust the estimates based on current, reasonable and supportable forecast economic conditions. Past-due trade receivable balances are written off when our internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. We determine inventory valuation reserves based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific problem in the valuation of a certain item, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the item to its net realizable value. We also recognize reserves based on the actual usage in recent history and projected usage in the near-term.
Unbilled Contract Revenue: Unbilled contract revenue represents contract assets resulting from revenue recognized over time in excess of the amount billed to the customer and the amount billed to the customer is not just subject to the passage of time. Billing requirements vary by contract but are generally structured around the completion of certain milestones. These contract assets are generally classified as current.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements that extend the useful life are capitalized. The cost of applicable assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
Lessee Accounting: At lease inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and if it includes options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are recognized as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and are included within property, plant and equipment, net, and lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, non-current in our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lessor Accounting: Similar to lessee accounting, at lease inception we determine if an arrangement is a lease. The net investment of our lease receivables is measured at the commencement date as the present value of the lease payments not yet received. Operating leases are reported at cost as equipment leased to others within property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheets and depreciated based on their useful lives on a straight-line basis. Sales from sales-type and operating leases are presented net of sales tax and other related taxes. Interest income is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest method and is classified as interest expense, net in our consolidated statements of income. Lease payments from operating leases are recorded as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Long-lived Assets: We monitor our property, plant, equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis. Assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. If impairment indicators exist, we perform the required analysis and record impairment charges, if applicable. In conducting our analysis, we compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the net book value, the long-lived assets are considered not to be impaired. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated from discounted future net cash flows (for assets held and used) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale). Changes in economic or operating conditions impacting these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of long-lived assets. We amortize intangible assets that have finite lives over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Goodwill is recognized as the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, but review them for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed.

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
Goodwill is analyzed on a reporting unit basis. The reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments, which are as follows: Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products and Repair Service & Leasing. Prior to October 1, 2020, our reporting units, which were the same as our operating and reportable segments, were as follows: Distribution and Storage Eastern Hemisphere (“D&S East”), Distribution and Storage Western Hemisphere (“D&S West”), Energy & Chemicals (“E&C”) Cryogenics and E&C FinFans. We first evaluate qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions and our overall financial performance to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. We then evaluate how significant each of the identified factors could be to the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit and weigh these factors in totality in forming a conclusion of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount (the “Step 0 Test”). If we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the first step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. Otherwise, we would proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test.
Alternatively, we may also bypass the Step 0 Test and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the first step (“Step 1”), we estimate the fair value of the reporting units by considering income and market approaches to develop fair value estimates, which are weighted to arrive at a fair value estimate for each reporting unit. With respect to the income approach, a model has been developed to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. This fair value model incorporates estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, estimates of future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. With respect to the market approach, a guideline company method is employed whereby pricing multiples are derived from companies with similar assets or businesses to estimate fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment charge is based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., we would measure the charge based on the result from Step 1).
In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of the reporting units, we also compare the sum of the reporting units’ fair values to the market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units’ fair values over the market capitalization). We evaluate the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not reasonable in light of this assessment, we reevaluate the fair value estimates of the reporting units by adjusting the discount rates and other assumptions as necessary.
Changes to the assumptions and estimates used throughout the steps described above may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and result in future impairment charges.
With respect to indefinite-lived intangible assets, we first evaluate relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, in weighing all relevant events and circumstances in totality, we determine that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further action is necessary. Otherwise, we would determine the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform a quantitative impairment assessment by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. We may bypass such a qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. We estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived assets using the income approach. This may include the relief from royalty method or use of a model similar to the one described above related to goodwill which estimates the future cash flows attributed to the indefinite-lived intangible asset and then discounting these cash flows back to a present value. Under the relief from royalty method, fair value is estimated by discounting the royalty savings, as well as any tax benefits related to ownership to a present value. The fair value from either approach is compared to the carrying value and an impairment is recorded if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value.
Equity Method Investments: Investments, including certain of our joint ventures, where Chart has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not possess control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest, our representation on the investee’s board of directors and participation in policy-making decisions. We recognize the equity method investee’s proportionate share of the earnings and losses and classify as equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
recoverable. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings for the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its estimated fair value.
Investments in Equity Securities: We measure certain of our investments in equity securities where we have no significant influence and generally less than 20% ownership interest at fair value on a recurring basis according to the fair value hierarchy as defined below. We reassess measurement options for these investments on a quarterly basis. Mark-to-market fair value adjustments in these investments in equity securities are classified as unrealized loss (gain) on investments in equity securities in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Investments in equity securities for which there is no readily determinable fair value are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
Customer Advances and Billings in Excess of Contract Revenue: Our contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments, billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify advance customer payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as current. We classify deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The current portion of deferred revenue is included in customer advances and billings in excess of contract revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. Long-term deferred revenue is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Convertible Debt: After the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, our convertible notes due November 2024 are no longer bifurcated into separate liability and equity components in our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheets. For further discussion refer to the “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards” section below.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 we determined that the conversion option within our convertible notes due November 2024 was not clearly and closely related to the debt instrument host, however, the conversion option met a scope exception to derivative instrument accounting since the conversion feature is indexed to our common stock and meets equity classification criteria. Convertible debt instruments exempt from derivative accounting and subject to cash settlement of the conversion option were recognized by bifurcating the principal balance into a liability component and an equity component where the fair value of the liability component is estimated by calculating the present value of its cash flows discounted at an interest rate that we would have received for similar debt instruments that have no conversion rights (the “straight-debt rate”), and the equity component is the residual amount, net of tax, which creates a discount on our convertible notes due November 2024. Prior to January 1, 2021, we recognized non-cash interest accretion expense related to the carrying amount of our convertible notes due November 2024 which was accreted back to its principal amount over the expected life of the debt, which is also the stated life of the debt.
Financial Instruments: The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term bank debt approximate their carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments.
To minimize credit risk from trade receivables, we review the financial condition of potential customers in relation to established credit requirements before sales credit is extended and monitor the financial condition and payment history of customers to help ensure timely collections and to minimize losses. Additionally, for certain domestic and foreign customers, we require advance payments, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, and other such guarantees of payment. Certain customers also require us to issue letters of credit or performance bonds, particularly in instances where advance payments are involved, as a condition of placing the order.
Fair Value Measurements: We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
Derivative Financial Instruments: We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk that exists as part of ongoing business operations. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into contracts for speculative purposes nor are we a party to any leveraged derivative instrument. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. We utilize foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency purchases and certain intercompany transactions in the normal course of business. Contracts typically have maturities of less than one year. Principal currencies include the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan, the Czech koruna, the Australian dollar, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee and the Japanese yen. Our foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as hedges as defined by accounting guidance. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value and recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other current liabilities or assets. Changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of income as foreign currency gains or losses. Our foreign currency forward contracts are not exchange traded instruments and, accordingly, the valuation is performed using Level 2 inputs as defined above. Gains or losses on settled or expired contracts are recorded in the consolidated statements of income as foreign currency gains or losses.
Product Warranties: We provide product warranties with varying terms and durations for the majority of our products. We estimate product warranty costs and accrue for these costs as products are sold with a charge to cost of sales. Factors considered in estimating warranty costs include historical and projected warranty claims, historical and projected cost-per-claim, and knowledge of specific product issues that are outside of typical experience. Warranty accruals are evaluated and adjusted as necessary based on actual claims experience and changes in future claim and cost estimates.
Business Combinations: We account for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” We recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is assigned to goodwill. As additional information becomes available, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition.
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets generally consist of customer relationships, unpatented technology, patents and trademarks and trade names and are amortized over their estimated useful lives which generally range from 2 to 15 years. Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets generally consist of trademarks and trade names and are subject to impairment testing on at least an annual basis. We estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets under income approaches where the fair value models incorporate estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows.
We expense transaction related costs, including legal, consulting, accounting and other costs, in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when (or as) we satisfy performance obligations by transferring a promised good or service, an asset, to a customer. An asset is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control over that asset. In most contracts, the transaction price includes both fixed and variable consideration. The variable consideration contained within our contracts with customers includes discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and other similar items. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. When a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the contract price is allocated among the performance obligations based upon the stand alone selling prices. When the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is expected, at contract inception, to be one year or less, we do not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.
For brazed aluminum heat exchangers, air cooled heat exchangers, cold boxes, liquefied natural gas fueling stations, engineered tanks, and repair services, most contracts contain language that transfers control to the customer over time. For these contracts, revenue is recognized as we satisfy the performance obligations by an allocation of the transaction price to the
F-17

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
accounting period computed using input methods such as costs incurred. Input methods recognize revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. The costs incurred input method measures progress toward the satisfaction of the performance obligation by multiplying the transaction price of the performance obligation by the percentage of incurred costs as of the balance sheet date to the total estimated costs at completion after giving effect to the most current estimates. Timing of amounts billed on contracts varies from contract to contract and could cause significant variation in working capital needs. Revisions to estimated cost to complete that result from inefficiencies in our performance that were not expected in the pricing of the contract are expensed in the period in which these inefficiencies become known. Contract modifications can change a contract’s scope, price, or both. Approved contract modifications are accounted for as either a separate contract or as part of the existing contract depending on the nature of the modification.
For standard industrial gas and LNG tanks and some products identified in the prior paragraph with contract language that does not meet the over time recognition requirements, the contract with the customer contains language that transfers control to the customer at a point in time. For these contracts, revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligation to the customer. Timing of amounts billed on contracts varies from contract to contract. The specific point in time when control transfers depends on the contract with the customer, contract terms that provide for a present obligation to pay, physical possession, legal title, risk and rewards of ownership, acceptance of the asset, and bill-and-hold arrangements may impact the point in time when control transfers to the customer. We recognize revenue under bill-and-hold arrangements when control transfers and the reason for the arrangement is substantive, the product is separately identified as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for physical transfer and we do not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.
Incremental contract costs are expensed when incurred when the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less; otherwise, incremental contract costs are recognized as an asset and amortized over time as promised goods and services are transferred to a customer. When losses are expected to be incurred on a contract, we recognize the entire anticipated loss in the accounting period when the loss becomes evident. The loss is recognized when the current estimate of the consideration we expect to receive, modified to include unconstrained variable consideration instead of constrained variable consideration, is less than the current estimate of total costs for the contract.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling fee revenues and the related expenses are reported as fulfillment revenues and expenses for all customers because we have adopted the practical expedient contained in ASC 606-10-25-18B. Therefore, all shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. Amounts billed to customers for shipping are classified as sales, and the related costs are classified as cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income. Shipping revenue of $11.8, $10.6, and $11.3 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in sales. Shipping costs of $17.6, $15.0, and $15.8 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in cost of sales.
Cost of Sales: Manufacturing expenses associated with sales are included in cost of sales. Cost of sales includes all materials, direct and indirect labor, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and distribution and warehousing of inventory. In addition, shop supplies, facility maintenance costs, manufacturing engineering, project management, and depreciation expense for assets used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses: SG&A expenses include selling, marketing, customer service, product management, design engineering, and other administrative expenses not directly supporting the manufacturing process, as well as depreciation expense associated with non-manufacturing assets. In addition, SG&A expenses include corporate operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, information technology, investor relations, legal, internal audit and risk management.
Advertising Costs: We incurred advertising costs of $3.9, $2.7, and $4.0 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Such costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
F-18

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
Research and Development Costs: We incurred research and development costs of $12.7, $9.1, and $9.2 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Such costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency for the majority of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for asset and liability accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Certain of our foreign entities remeasure from local to functional currencies, which is then translated to the reporting currency of the Company. Remeasurement from local to functional currencies is included in cost of sales or foreign currency loss (gain) in the consolidated statements of income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are charged to net income in the consolidated statements of income as incurred.
Income Taxes: The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and the consolidated tax return in accordance with the liability method. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when conditions indicate that it is more likely than not that the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance will be adjusted with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
We utilize a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position and determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.
We are subjected to a tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which we record as a period cost as incurred.
Share-based Compensation: We measure share-based compensation expense for share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model and is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The grant-date fair value calculation under the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of variables such as exercise term of the option, future volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on Chart’s market price on the date of grant and is generally recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The fair value of performance units is based on Chart’s market price on the date of grant and pre-determined performance conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance measurement period based on the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved. We reassess the vesting probability of performance units each reporting period and adjust share-based compensation expense based on our probability assessment. Share-based compensation expense for all awards considers estimated forfeitures.
During the year, we may repurchase shares of common stock from equity plan participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting or payment of equity awards. All such repurchased shares are retired in the period in which the repurchases occur.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans: We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan which includes the Chart Pension Plan, which has been frozen since February 2006, and a noncontributory defined benefit plan that we acquired as part of the Hudson acquisition (the “Hudson Plan”). The Hudson Plan is closed to new participants and not considered significant to our consolidated financial statements. The Hudson Plan merged into the Chart Plan as of February 28, 2021.
The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. The change in the funded status of the plan is recognized in the year in which the change occurs through

accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Our funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum funding amounts required by law. Management has chosen policies according to accounting guidance that allow the use of a calculated value of plan assets, which generally reduces the volatility of expense (income) from changes in pension liability discount rates and the performance of the pension plan’s assets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted): In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments in this update require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU simplifies the accounting for modifying contracts (including those in hedging relationships) that refer to LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We expect application of the amendments to impact accounting for our senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026. Our lenders will notify us when our borrowings transition away from LIBOR, at which point we will adopt this ASU as part of the transition to the new reference rate. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” The amendments in this update require annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution model by analogy. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entities Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40).” This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three models in ASC 470-20 that require separating embedded conversion features from convertible instruments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021 under the modified retrospective adoption approach. The cumulative effect of the change was recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be presented according to accounting standards in effect for those periods.
As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, our convertible notes due November 2024 are no longer bifurcated into separate liability and equity components in our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. The $258.8 principal amount of our convertible notes due November 2024 was classified as a liability only in our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, we recorded an adjustment to the convertible notes liability component, equity component (additional paid-in-capital) and retained earnings. This adjustment was calculated based on the carrying amount of the convertible notes as if it had always been treated as a liability only. Furthermore, we recorded an adjustment to the debt issuance costs contra liability and equity (additional paid-in-capital) components as if debt issuance costs had always been treated as a contra liability only. Lastly, we derecognized deferred income taxes associated with the convertible notes debt discount and adjusted deferred incomes taxes relative to unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our convertible notes due November 2024.
Interest expense related to the accretion of our convertible notes due November 2024 is no longer recognized. Interest accretion of convertible notes discount and net income from continuing operations attributable to Chart Industries, Inc. for the

year ended December 31, 2021 would have been $8.4 and $52.6 without the adoption of ASU 2020-06. As such, net income from continuing operations attributable to Chart Industries, Inc. per common share for the year ended December 31, 2021 is $0.18 (basic) and $0.16 (diluted) higher due to the effect of adoption of ASU 2020-06.
As further described in Note 10, “Debt and Credit Arrangements,” on December 31, 2020, we amended the Indenture governing our convertible notes due November 2024 to eliminate share settlement thus leaving us with two settlement options: (1) cash settlement or (2) cash for par and any combination of cash and shares for the excess settlement amount above the $258.8 principal amount of our convertible notes due November 2024. ASU 2020-06 requires usage of the if-converted method to compute diluted earnings per share for our convertible notes due November 2024, however, based on the terms of the amended Indenture and the cessation of interest accretion expense recognition from the transition at adoption, the if-converted method was modified such that interest expense is no longer added to the numerator, and the denominator only includes incremental shares that would be issued upon conversion.
Impacts on Financial Statements
The following table summarizes the cumulative effect of the changes to our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 from the adoption of ASU 2020-06:

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” This ASU clarifies the interactions between the measurement alternative in Topic 321, the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the application of guidance for certain forward contracts and purchased options that upon settlement or exercise would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 815. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021. During the third quarter 2021, we completed an additional investment in HTEC Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation and recognized a gain upon remeasurement of our initial fourth quarter 2020 investment in HTEC Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation due to an observable price change in an orderly transaction for similar instruments of the same issuer in accordance with the guidance provided in ASU 2020-01. Refer to Note 6, “Investments” for further discussion of our investment in HTEC Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” This ASU clarifies the accounting treatment for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements (hosting arrangements) that is a service contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This ASU adds, modifies and clarifies several disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other

postretirement plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. We early adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our annual disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This ASU adds, modifies and removes several disclosure requirements relative to the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value in accordance with Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and subsequently issued additional guidance that modified ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 and the subsequent modifications are identified as ASC 326.” The standard requires an entity to change its accounting approach in determining impairment of certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an “incurred loss” to a “current expected credit loss” model. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within such fiscal years. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected as discussed above. In addition, we estimate expected credit losses based on historical loss information then adjust the estimates based on current, reasonable and supportable forecast economic conditions.
NOTE 3 — Discontinued Operations
Cryobiological Products Divestiture
On October 1, 2020, we closed on the sale of our cryobiological products business, which was formerly within our D&S West segment prior to the realignment of our segment reporting structuring in the fourth quarter of 2020, to Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) for net cash proceeds of $317.5, inclusive of the base purchase price of $320.0 less estimated closing adjustments of $2.5 (the “Cryobiological Divestiture”). The strategic decision to divest of our cryobiological products business reflected our strategy and capital allocation approach to focus on our core capabilities and offerings. We recorded a gain on the Cryobiological Divestiture of $224.2, net of taxes of $25.2, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Interest expense of $7.4 and $10.6 was allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively, based on interest on our term loan due June 2024 that was required to be repaid as a result of the Cryobiological Divestiture.

Total Assets
Corporate assets mainly include cash and cash equivalents and long-term deferred income taxes as well as certain corporate-specific property, plant and equipment, net and certain investments. Our allocation methodology for property, plant and equipment, net of the reportable segments differs from our allocation method of depreciation expense of a reportable segment and therefore, depreciation expense does not entirely align with the related depreciable assets of the reportable segments. Furthermore, since finite-lived intangible assets are excluded from total assets of reportable segments while amortization expense is allocated to each of our reportable segments, amortization expense by segment inherently does not align with the related amortizable intangible assets of the reportable segments.

Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $104.3 and $101.2, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods as a result of changes in the estimates of variable consideration related to long-term contracts, was not significant. Long-term deferred revenue is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed, or is partially completed, and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to remaining performance obligations was $1,190.1. We expect to recognize revenue on 78% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months and 16% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 13 to 24 months, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter.

(1)Our equity method investments include a 50% ownership interest in a joint venture with Hudson Products de Mexico S.A. de CV which totaled $3.3 and $2.8 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This investment is operated and managed by our joint venture partner and as such, we do not have control over the joint venture and therefore is not consolidated. We recognized equity in earnings of this investment of $0.5, $0.3 and $0.2 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Equity in earnings of this investment is classified in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021 and selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Additionally, we have a 25% ownership interest in Liberty LNG, which totaled $2.4 and $2.1 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, equity in earnings (loss) of this investment was $0.3 and $(1.0), respectively, and was not significant for the year ended December 31, 2019. Equity in earnings (loss) of this investment is classified in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021 and unrealized (gain) loss on investment in equity securities in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2020.
We have another immaterial investment in an unconsolidated affiliate of $0.4 for all periods presented.
(2)During the second quarter 2021, we completed an investment in Cryomotive GmbH (“Cryomotive”) in the amount of 6.8 million euros (equivalent to $8.2) for a 24.9% ownership interest. Our equity method investment in Cryomotive was $7.1 at December 31, 2021. Equity in loss of this investment was $0.6 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and is classified in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021. Cryomotive is a leading green-tech mobility startup in Germany developing a disruptive clean hydrogen storage and refueling technology platform focused on compressed cold hydrogen and cryogenic high-pressure storage. Cryomotive’s proprietary CcH2 CRYOGAS technology aims to decarbonize long-haul commercial vehicles while keeping the range and fueling times similar to diesel powered vehicles.
(3)During the fourth quarter 2020, we completed an investment in HTEC Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation (“HTEC”) in the amount of CAD 20.0 million (equivalent to $15.7) in exchange for 15.6% of HTEC’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis (the “Initial HTEC Investment”). On September 7, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we completed an additional investment in HTEC in the amount of CAD 63.5 million (equivalent to $50.5), which increased our investment ownership to 25% of HTEC’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis. We recognized a gain of $20.7 upon remeasurement of the Initial HTEC Investment due to an observable price change in an orderly transaction for similar instruments of the same issuer, which was recognized in unrealized (gain) loss on investments in equity securities in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021. We reclassified the Initial HTEC Investment inclusive of the $20.7 gain and foreign currency translation gains from investments in equity securities to equity method investments during 2021. Our equity method investment in HTEC was $86.4 at December 31, 2021.

(1)Investment in equity securities Level 1 includes our investment in McPhy (Euronext Paris: MCPHY – ISIN; FR0011742329). McPhy’s common stock trades on the Euronext Paris stock exchange and therefore we measure our investment in McPhy using Level 1 fair value inputs. The fair value of our investment in McPhy was $31.3 and $53.8 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized an unrealized loss of $19.7 and an unrealized gain of $17.0, respectively, in our investment in McPhy.
Investment in equity securities Level 2 includes our investment in Stabilis Energy, Inc. (NasdaqCM: SLNG) (“Stabilis”). Stabilis represents an instrument with quoted prices that trades less frequently than certain of our other exchange-traded instruments and therefore we measure our investment in Stabilis using Level 2 fair value inputs. The fair value of Stabilis was $6.2 and $4.1 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 we recognized and an unrealized gain of $2.2 and unrealized losses of $2.9 and $0.1, respectively, in our investment in Stabilis.
(2)During the first quarter 2021, we completed an investment in Transform Materials LLC (“Transform Materials”) in the amount of $25.1, inclusive of legal fees, for approximately 5% of its equity. Transform Materials is a sustainable chemical technology company that uses microwave plasma to convert natural gas into acetylene and hydrogen. Its highly selective, cost-effective, net-carbon-negative process converts the methane in natural gas into high-value products suitable for direct use or downstream reactions.
Also during the first quarter 2021, we completed an investment in Svante Inc. (“Svante”) in the amount of $15.1, inclusive of legal fees, for under 10% of its capital stock on a fully diluted basis. Svante offers companies in emissions-intensive industries a commercially viable way to capture large-scale CO2 emissions from existing infrastructure, either for safe storage or to be recycled for further industrial use in a closed loop.
Our investments in Transform Materials and Svante represent equity instruments without a readily determinable fair value.
(3)During the second quarter 2021, we completed an investment in Earthly Labs in the amount of $5.0 for approximately 15% of its equity. Earthly Labs is a leading provider of small-scale carbon capture systems offering an affordable, small footprint technology platform called “CiCi ®” to capture, recycle, reuse, track and sell CO2. Earthly Labs proprietary approach includes hardware, software and services to address half of all existing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources while converting molecules to value. On December 14, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the remaining 85% of the shares of Earthly Labs. On the acquisition date, we recognized a gain of $2.6 from the remeasurement of our initial 15% investment in Earthly Labs, which is classified as realized gain on investment in equity securities in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 13, “Business Combinations” for further information regarding the Earthly Labs acquisition.
(4)We reclassified the Initial HTEC Investment inclusive of a $20.7 gain and foreign currency translation gains from investments in equity securities to equity method investments. Refer to the “Equity Method Investments” section above for further discussion.
Co-Investment Agreement
On the date of Chart’s additional investment in HTEC, described in the “Equity Method Investments” section above, I Squared Capital (“ISQ”), an infrastructure-focused private equity firm, also purchased HTEC common stock at the same purchase price of CAD 24.33 per share (i.e., approximately CAD 153.0 million in the aggregate), representing 35% of HTEC’s common stock. In connection with both Chart and ISQ’s investments in HTEC, Chart and ISQ entered into a Co-Investment Agreement, (the “Co-Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which Chart and ISQ have agreed to the following:
•In the following circumstances, ISQ shall have the right but not the obligation to require Chart to purchase all (and not less than all) of the shares of HTEC common stock acquired as part of ISQ’s investment described above (the “Put Option”):
i.the third anniversary of the Closing Date,
ii.the date Chart undergoes a change of control (subject to certain exceptions),
iii.the date upon which Chart, during the period from the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date, has made certain distributions to its shareholders (including cash or other dividends, or via a spin-off transaction), in excess of $900.0,
iv.the date, if any, upon which our leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds and
v.the date, if any, of a bankruptcy event (including certain insolvency-related actions) involving Chart.

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
•In the event that ISQ exercises its Put Option, we shall pay to ISQ an amount in cash in exchange for the HTEC common stock then held by ISQ such that ISQ shall realize the greater of (i) an internal rate of return of 10% and (ii) a multiple on ISQ’s invested capital of 1.65x.
•Conversely, at any time after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, we shall have the right to purchase from ISQ up to 20% of the shares of HTEC common stock acquired as part of the ISQ Investment. In exchange for the common stock, we shall pay ISQ the greater of (i) an internal rate of return of 12.5% and (ii) a multiple on ISQ’s invested capital of 1.65x.
•In addition, we shall have (i) a right of first offer: if ISQ desires to transfer any of its HTEC common stock to any third party, we shall have the right to first offer provided that upon notice, we shall have the option to make a first offer to purchase the offered interest in cash exclusively and (ii) a right of first refusal: if ISQ desires to sell its HTEC common stock to any third party pursuant to a definitive agreement therewith, we shall have the right of first refusal provided that the purchase consideration paid by Chart to ISQ upon our exercise of such right of first refusal must be equal to 102% of the purchase consideration agreed to be paid by such third party.
•The Co-Investment Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of an initial public offering by HTEC of its common stock.
Accounting Treatment of Put and Call Options
We record the Put and Call Options (together “the Options”) at fair value and record any change in fair value through earnings at each reporting period. The fair value of the Options was not material on the Closing Date or at December 31, 2021.
Clean H2 Infra Fund (f/k/a FiveT Hydrogen Fund)
As previously announced on April 5, 2021, we were admitted as an anchor investor in the Clean H2 Infra Fund (f/k/a the FiveT Hydrogen Fund), which is a private equity fund whose main objective is to support the hydrogen market by investing globally, directly or indirectly, in infrastructure projects or companies active in the hydrogen sector (the “Hydrogen Fund”). On December 15, 2021, we signed a subscription agreement for a 50 million euros investment commitment in the Hydrogen Fund, which consists of 500,000 Class A1 Shares at an initial value of 100 euros per Class A1 Share. In order to be considered an “anchor investor” in the Hydrogen Fund (which qualifies Chart to designate representatives to certain of its advisory committees), without any accommodation by the fund, Chart would have been required to commit to invest 100 million euros. However, the fund manager of the Hydrogen Fund (the “Management Company”) agreed to allow Chart and Baker Hughes to form an investment consortium (the “Consortium”) to aggregate separate 50 million euros investment commitments to create an aggregate commitment of 100 million euros (50 million euros from Chart and 50 million euros from Baker Hughes). The Consortium will be recognized by the Management Company so long as both Chart and Baker Hughes participate in the first closing of the Hydrogen Fund and their respective commitments remain at or above 50 million euros apiece.
The Management Company will establish a Limited Partners Advisory Committee (the “LPAC”) to consult with and help advise the Management Company with respect to certain key decisions governing the fund that the Management Company shall make. The LPAC is expected to be comprised by up to fifteen (15) members, the majority of whom shall be chosen by certain industrial investors and who shall be (i) representatives of the anchor investors and (ii) subject to any remaining available seats, representatives of the non-anchor investors selected by the Management Company.
Class A1 Shares are entitled to the return of any associated paid-up capital contributions (excluding any subscription premium or default interest, if any), the Preferred Return calculated thereon as described below, and their share of the Hydrogen Fund’s capital gain beyond the Preferred Return in accordance with the order of distributions in the by-laws of the Hydrogen Fund (in each case to the extent of available funds). The “Preferred Return” equals an annual interest rate of seven percent (7%) if fifteen percent (15%) of the Hydrogen Fund’s aggregate capital commitments from all investors is invested in strategic investments; provided, however, that such seven percent (7%) interest rate shall be reduced in a linear fashion to six and one-half percent (6.5%) if twenty percent (20%) of the Hydrogen Fund’s aggregate capital commitments from all investors is invested in strategic investments. The Management Company is currently targeting aggregate capital commitments from all investors of at least 1.5 billion euros; provided, however, that the Hydrogen Fund has a hard cap on investments equal to 1.8 billion euros.
The Hydrogen Fund shall determine the net asset value of each class of its shares at the end of each quarter (including the Class A1 Shares that we shall hold), which will be used to record the fair value of our investment.

The Hydrogen Fund will have a term of twelve (12) years, subject to certain potential extensions. Investors cannot request the redemption of their shares by the Hydrogen Fund at any time prior to the final liquidation of the fund. Capital calls will be made by the Management Company in accordance with investment opportunities and the financing needs of the Hydrogen Fund’s activities. The Management Company shall not issue capital calls for an aggregate amount exceeding thirty percent(30%) of the aggregate capital commitments from all investors in any rolling twelve-month period unless the LPAC has given prior consent.
The Hydrogen Fund’s term will begin on the Hydrogen Fund’s first closing date, which the Management Company expects will be held as soon as practicable but no later than June 30, 2022. The Management Company is required to send capital call requests to investors at least ten (10) business days prior to their deadline for payment.
In the event that, following any capital call made by the Management Company, an investor of the Hydrogen Fund does not timely fund all or any portion of its capital commitment required thereby, such investor will be charged interest thereon equal to the Preferred Return plus one-half percent (0.5%), and shall not be entitled to receive distributions from the Hydrogen Fund until it is no longer delinquent.

We reorganized our reporting structure such that the composition of our reporting units changed effective October 1, 2020, which was also the goodwill reassignment date. We determined the fair values of each of our prior reporting units as of the goodwill reassignment date to assess whether there was an indication of impairment before and after the reassignment. We performed a goodwill impairment Step 1 test, as defined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” on each of our previous reporting units prior to the goodwill reassignment and determined that their fair values were in excess of their respective carrying amounts as of October 1, 2020. Furthermore, we performed a goodwill impairment Step 1 test on the new reporting units after the goodwill reassignment and determined that their fair values were in excess of their respective carrying amounts as of October 1, 2020.
On September 30, 2020, we allocated a portion of the D&S West reporting unit’s goodwill to the cryobiological products business asset group on a relative fair value basis. Refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for further information. We determined the fair value of D&S West reporting unit as of the goodwill reassignment date to assess whether there was an indication of impairment before the reassignment. We performed an interim goodwill impairment Step 1 test, as defined in our

Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” on the D&S West reporting unit prior to the goodwill reassignment and determined that its fair value was substantially in excess of its carrying amount as of September 30, 2020.
Furthermore, when a portion of goodwill is allocated to an asset group to be disposed of, we test the goodwill remaining in the portion of the reporting unit to be retained for impairment. We elected to perform an interim goodwill Step 0 Test, as defined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” on the D&S West reporting unit after the goodwill reassignment. As a result of the Step 0 Test, no impairment of the D&S West reporting unit after the goodwill reassignment was indicated.
Intangible Assets
We recorded an impairment loss of $16.0 during 2020 relative to our $55.0 trademarks and trade names indefinite-lived intangible asset of our AXC business (“AXC Intangible Asset”) in our Heat Transfer Systems segment. Industry-wide softness in demand for midstream and upstream compression equipment represented impairment indicators requiring us to re-evaluate the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset. We determined the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset under the relief-from-royalty method and conducted an impairment test as defined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies.” We determined that the fair value of the AXC Intangible Asset was $39.0 and impaired the AXC Intangible Asset by a value equal to the difference in the carrying amount and calculated fair value.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
On October 18, 2021 we entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which provides for a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Amended SSRCF”). The Amended SSRCF matures on October 19, 2026.
•The Amended SSRCF has a borrowing capacity of $1,000.0 and includes a $100.0 sub limit for letters of credit, a $250.0 sub limit for discretionary letters of credit and a $100.0 sub-limit for swingline loans.

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
•We may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, request increases in the revolving credit facility commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 or a lesser amount in integral multiples of $25.0 to the extent existing or new lenders agree to provide such increased or additional commitments, as applicable.
•The Amended SSRCF bears interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined on a leveraged-based scale which (before giving effect to the sustainability pricing adjustments described below) ranges from 25 to 125 basis points for base rate loans and 125 to 225 basis points for LIBOR loans.
•The applicable margin described above is subject to further adjustments based on the reductions in the ratio between (i) the total greenhouse gas emissions, measured in metric tons CO2e, of Chart and its subsidiaries during such calendar year and (ii) the aggregate revenue, measured in U.S. Dollars, of Chart and its subsidiaries during such calendar year. These additional pricing adjustments range from an addition of 0.05% to a reduction of 0.025% in the applicable margin described above.
•We are required to pay commitment fees on any unused commitments under the Amended SSRCF which, before giving effect to the sustainability fee adjustments (as described below), is determined on a leverage-based sliding scale ranging from 20 to 35 basis points.
•The commitment fees described above are also subject to sustainability fee adjustments based on the aforementioned ratio. The sustainability fee adjustments range from an addition of 0.01% to a reduction of 0.01%.
•Interest and fees are payable on a quarterly basis (or if earlier, at the end of each interest period for LIBOR loans).
Significant financial covenants for the Amended SSRCF include financial maintenance covenants that, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on and after September 30, 2021, (i) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated total net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be less than specified maximum ratio levels and (ii) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense to be greater than a specified minimum ratio level. The Amended SSRCF includes a number of other customary covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations and pay dividends or distributions. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants.
The Amended SSRCF also contains customary events of default. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders thereunder would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. The Amended SSRCF is guaranteed by Chart and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries, and secured by substantially all of the assets of Chart and its U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our material non-U.S. subsidiaries (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries.
We recorded $3.0 in deferred debt issuance costs, related to the Amended SSRCF and included $5.9 and $0.2 of the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous senior secured revolving credit facility due June 2024 and associated term loan due June 2024, respectively, which are presented in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and are being amortized over the five-year term of the Amended SSRCF. At December 31, 2021, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Amended SSRCF were $8.7.
In conjunction with the amendment of our credit facilities, we wrote off $0.1 and $3.7 of the unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with our previous senior secured revolving credit facility due June 2024 and the term loan due June 2024, respectively. In addition to these amounts, we also immediately expensed $0.3 in new debt issuance costs associated with the Amended Credit Agreement in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. These charges are classified as financing costs amortization in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2021 and summarized in the table below.

2024 Convertible Notes
On November 6, 2017, we issued 1.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due November 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $258.8, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of such date (the “Indenture”). On December 31, 2020, we entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, between Chart and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, governing the 2024 Notes. Pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, Chart irrevocably elected (i) to eliminate Chart’s option to elect Physical Settlement (as defined in the Indenture) on any conversion of 2024 Notes that occurs on or after the date of the Supplemental Indenture and (ii) that, with respect to any Combination Settlement (as defined in the Indenture) for a conversion of 2024 Notes, the Specified Dollar Amount (as defined in the Indenture) that will be settled in cash per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be no lower than $1,000. The 2024 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 1.00%, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2018, and will mature on November 15, 2024 unless earlier converted or repurchased.
The 2024 Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The 2024 Notes are senior in right of payment to our future subordinated debt, equal in right of payment with the Company’s future senior subordinated debt and are subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under our existing credit agreement.
Prior to December 31, 2020, a conversion of the 2024 Notes could have been settled in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the Indenture). After December 31, 2020, a conversion of the 2024 Notes may be settled in either (1) cash or (2) cash for the principal amount of the 2024 Notes and any combination of cash and shares for the excess settlement amount above the principal amount of the 2024 Notes, at our election (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of the Indenture and Supplemental Indenture).
The initial conversion rate for the 2024 Notes is 17.0285 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $58.725 per share, representing a conversion premium of approximately 35% above the closing price of our common stock of $43.50 per share on October 31, 2017. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date as described in the Indenture, we will pay a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, if the average market price of our common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price during the periods reported, shares contingently issuable under the 2024 Notes will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock. Since our closing common stock price of $159.49 at the end of the period exceeded the conversion price of $58.725, the if-converted value exceeded the principal amount of the 2024 Notes by approximately $444.0 at December 31, 2021. As described below,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

we entered into convertible note hedge transactions, which are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to our common stock upon conversion of the 2024 Notes.
Holders of the 2024 Notes may convert their 2024 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2024 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price for the 2024 Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the Indenture) per one thousand U.S. dollar principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the 2024 Notes on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture. On or after August 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding November 15, 2024, holders may convert their 2024 Notes at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
As of January 1, 2022, the 2024 Notes continue to be convertible at the option of the shareholders. This conversion right, which will remain available until March 31, 2022, was triggered since the closing price of our common stock was greater than or equal to $76.3425 (130% of the conversion price of the 2024 Notes) for at least 20 trading days during the last 30 trading days ending on December 31, 2021. Since the holders of the 2024 Notes could potentially convert their 2024 Notes at their option during the three month period subsequent to December 31, 2021, the $258.8 principal amount of the 2024 Notes was classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. We reassess the convertibility of the 2024 Notes and the related balance sheet classification on a quarterly basis. There have been no conversions as of the date of this filing.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we allocated the gross proceeds of the 2024 Notes between the liability and equity components of the 2024 Notes. The initial liability component of $200.1, which was recorded as long-term debt, represents the fair value of similar debt instruments that have no conversion rights. The initial equity component of $58.7, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital, represented the debt discount and was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the liability component and gross proceeds of the 2024 Notes. The liability component was recognized at the present value of its associated cash flows using a 4.8% straight-debt rate and was being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2024 Notes.
After the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the 2024 Notes are no longer bifurcated into separate liability and equity components in our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. The $258.8 principal amount of the 2024 Notes was classified as a liability only in our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06 and transition, we recorded an adjustment to the convertible notes liability component, equity component (additional paid-in-capital) and retained earnings. This adjustment was calculated based on the carrying amount of the convertible notes as if it had always been treated as a liability only.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we recorded $5.3 in deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 2024 Notes, which was being amortized over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method. We also recorded $1.5 in equity issuance costs, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. After the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we recorded an adjustment to the debt issuance costs contra liability and equity (additional paid-in-capital) components as if debt issuance costs had always been treated as a contra liability only. We amortize the adjusted unamortized debt issuance costs balance over the term of the 2024 Notes using the effective interest method. Furthermore, interest expense related to the accretion of our convertible notes due November 2024 is no longer recognized.
Refer to Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion regarding the cumulative effect of the changes to our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021 from the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions Associated with the 2024 Notes
In connection with the pricing of the 2024 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedge Transactions”) with certain parties, including the initial purchasers of the 2024 Notes (the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedge Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon any future conversion of the 2024 Notes. Payments for the Note Hedge Transactions totaled approximately $59.5 and were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet.
We also entered into separate, privately negotiated warrant transactions (the “Warrant Transactions”) with the Option Counterparties to acquire up to 4.41 shares of our common stock. Proceeds received from the issuance of the Warrant Transactions totaled approximately $46.0 and were recorded as an addition to additional paid-in capital in the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. The strike price of the Warrant Transactions will initially be $71.775 per share (subject to adjustment), which is approximately 65% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on October 31, 2017. The Warrant Transactions could have a dilutive effect to our stockholders to the extent that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants.
The Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions effectively increased the conversion price of the 2024 Notes. The net cost of the Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions was approximately $13.5.
Foreign Facilities
In various markets where we do business, we have local credit facilities to meet local working capital demands, fund letters of credit and bank guarantees, and support other short-term cash requirements. The facilities generally have variable interest rates and are denominated in local currency but may, in some cases, facilitate borrowings in multiple currencies. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 there were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had additional capacity of U.S. dollar equivalent $82.4 and $77.4, respectively. Chart had foreign letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling U.S. dollar equivalent $31.2 and $47.7 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Letters of Credit
L.A. Turbine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had $0.2 in deposits in a bank outside the Amended SSRCF to secure letters of credit at December 31, 2021. Chart Energy & Chemicals, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had $1.0 in deposits in a bank outside of our previous credit facilities to secure letters of credit at December 31, 2020. The deposits are treated as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets ($0.2 and $1.0 in other current assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively).
Fair Value Disclosures
The fair value of the 2024 Notes was approximately 276% and 210% of their par value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 2024 Notes are actively quoted instruments and, accordingly, the fair value of the 2024 Notes was determined using Level 1 inputs.

NOTE 11 — Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
Concentrations of Credit Risks: We sell our products primarily to gas producers, distributors, and end-users across energy, industrial, power, HVAC and refining applications in countries throughout the world. Approximately 56%, 51%, and 48% of sales were to customers in foreign countries in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In 2021, 2020 and 2019, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales. Sales to our top ten customers accounted for 39%, 42% and 34% of consolidated sales in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our sales to particular customers fluctuate from period to period, but our large industrial gas producer and distributor customers tend to be a consistently substantial source of revenue for us.

Alabama Trailers Acquisition
On October 13, 2020, we completed the acquisition of the Theodore, Alabama cryogenic trailer and hydrogen trailer (transport) assets of Worthington Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WOR) for $10.0 in cash (“Alabama Trailers”). Worthington Industries, Inc. exited the hydrogen trailer business and sold the business to Chart at a discount. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of $5.0. Alabama Trailers designs, manufactures and sells cryogenic trailers and hydrogen trailers used in industrial gas and energy applications.
The purchase price allocations of Earthly Labs, AdEdge and LAT are preliminary and are based on provisional fair values and subject to revision as we finalize third-party valuations and other analyses. Final determination of the fair values may result in further adjustments to the value of net assets acquired.
Contingent Consideration
The estimated fair value of contingent consideration was $16.9 for SES and $3.2 for BIG at the date of acquisitions and was valued according to a discounted cash flow approach, which included assumptions regarding the probability of achieving certain targets and a discount rate applied to the potential payments. Potential payments are measured between the period commencing January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2028 based on the attainment of certain earnings targets. The potential payments related to both SES and BIG contingent consideration on a combined basis is between $0.0 and $31.0. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to SES increased by $2.2 while the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to BIG decreased by $1.1.
In connection with the Earthly Labs acquisition, Chart shall pay to the sellers a royalty on sales of a carbon capture unit for residential use launched for sale to the public by Chart in an amount equal to 4% of such sales. Potential royalty payments shall be paid to the sellers during the three year period following Chart’s launch of this product. This product has not yet been developed and as such, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability that arises from this arrangement was insignificant as of December 31, 2021.
Valuations are performed using Level 3 inputs as defined in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” and are evaluated on a quarterly basis based on forecasted sales and earnings targets. Contingent consideration liabilities are classified as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, including accretion, are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. No cash consideration was transferred for contingent consideration as of the acquisition dates and as such, the arrangements represent a noncash investing activity in the statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The following table represents the changes to our contingent consideration liabilities:

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.2 and $1.3, respectively of income tax (benefit)/expenses, which, if ultimately recognized, would impact our annual effective tax rate.
We accrued approximately $0.3 of interest and penalties at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Due to the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2021 may decrease within the next twelve months by $0.1.

_______________
(1)The 2021 changes in the projected benefit obligation and plan assets reflect the effect of the Hudson Plan merger. The Hudson Plan accrued pension liability as of December 31, 2020 is not included in the table above. At December 31, 2020, the projected benefit obligation of the Hudson Plan was $2.9 while the fair value of plan assets was $2.0. Consequently, at December 31, 2020, a liability of $1.0, was included in accrued pension liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for the underfunded status of the Hudson Plan. Pension expense relative to the Hudson Plan in 2020 was not significant.
The estimated net periodic pension income for the defined benefit pension plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss over the next fiscal year is $2.1.
The actuarial assumptions used in determining pension plan information are as follows:

| December 31,
| 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Assumptions used to determine benefit obligation at year end: |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 2.7 | % |  | 2.4 | % |  | 3.2 | %
Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost: |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 2.4 | % |  | 3.2 | % |  | 4.2 | %
Expected long-term weighted-average rate of return on plan assets | 7.0 | % |  | 7.0 | % |  | 7.0 | %

The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at year end. In estimating this rate, we look to rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments that receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized rating agency and the expected timing of benefit payments under the plan.
The expected return assumptions were developed using an averaging formula based upon the plans’ investment guidelines, mix of asset classes, historical returns of equities and bonds, and expected future returns. We employ a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan

assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of short and long-term plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value, and small and large capitalizations. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements, and periodic asset/liability studies.
The target allocations by asset category and fair values of the plan assets by asset class at December 31 are as follows:

| Target Allocations by Asset Category |  | Fair Value
|  | Total |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3
Plan Assets: |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Equity funds | 68% |  | $ | 43.9 |  |  | $ | 38.9 |  |  | $ | 43.9 |  |  | $ | 38.9 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Fixed income funds | 26% |  | 16.0 |  |  | 13.2 |  |  | 16.0 |  |  | 13.2 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Other investments | 6% |  | 2.0 |  |  | 1.8 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 2.0 |  |  | 1.8 |
Total |  |  | $ | 61.9 |  |  | $ | 53.9 |  |  | $ | 59.9 |  |  | $ | 52.1 |  |  | $ | 2.0 |  |  | $ | 1.8 |

The plan assets are primarily invested in pooled separate funds. The fair values of equity securities and fixed income securities held in pooled separate funds are based on net asset value of the units of the funds as determined by the fund manager. These funds are similar in nature to retail mutual funds, but are typically more efficient for institutional investors. The fair value of pooled funds is determined by the value of the underlying assets held by the fund and the units outstanding. The value of the pooled funds is not directly observable, but is based on observable inputs. As such, these plan assets are valued using Level 2 inputs. Certain plan assets in the other investments asset category are invested in a general investment account where the fair value is derived from the liquidation value based on an actuarial formula as defined under terms of the investment contract. These plan assets were valued using unobservable inputs and, accordingly, the valuation was performed using Level 3 inputs.
The following table represents changes in the fair value of plan assets categorized as Level 3 from the preceding table:

Balance at December 31, 2019 | $ | 0.3 |
Purchases, sales and settlements, net | (3.0) |
Transfers, net | 4.5 |
Balance at December 31, 2020 | 1.8 |
Purchases, sales and settlements, net | (3.0) |
Transfers, net | 3.2 |
Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 2.0 |

Our funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum funding amounts required by law. Based upon current actuarial estimates, we do not expect to contribute to our defined benefit pension plan until 2025. The following benefit payments are expected to be paid by the plan in each of the next five years and in the aggregate for the subsequent five years:

2022 | $ | 3.3 |
2023 | 3.4 |
2024 | 3.5 |
2025 | 3.5 |
2026 | 3.6 |
In aggregate during five years thereafter | 17.9 |

Multi-Employer Plan
We contribute to a multi-employer plan for certain collective bargaining U.S. employees. The risks of participating in this multi-employer plan are different from a single employer plan in the following aspects:
(a) Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
F-51

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
(b) If a participating employer ceases contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be inherited by the remaining participating employers.
(c) If we choose to stop participating in the multi-employer plan, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
We have assessed and determined that the multi-employer plan to which we contribute is not significant to our financial statements. We do not expect to incur a withdrawal liability or expect to significantly increase our contribution over the remainder of the current contract period, which ends in February 2023. We made contributions to the bargaining unit supported multi-employer pension plan resulting in expense of $0.5 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Defined Contribution Savings Plan
We have a defined contribution savings plan that covers most of our U.S. employees. Company contributions to the plan are based on employee contributions, and include a Company match and discretionary contributions. Expenses under the plan totaled $5.7, $4.9, and $8.7 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Voluntary Deferred Income Plan
We provide additional retirement plan benefits to certain members of management under the Amended and Restated Chart Industries, Inc. Voluntary Deferred Income Plan. This is an unfunded plan. We recorded $0.1, $0.3, and $0.3 of expense associated with this plan for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
NOTE 18 — Share-based Compensation
Under the 2017 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Equity Plan”) officers and employees (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other “named executive officers”) are eligible to be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares and common shares. The maximum number of shares available for issuance is 1.70, which may be treasury shares or unissued shares. As of December 31, 2021, 0.24 stock options, 0.11 shares of restricted stock and RSUs, and 0.09 performance units were outstanding under the 2017 Omnibus Equity Plan.
Under the Amended and Restated 2009 Omnibus Equity Plan (“2009 Omnibus Equity Plan”) which was originally approved by our shareholders in May 2009 and re-approved by shareholders in May 2012 as amended and restated, we could grant stock options, SARs, RSUs, restricted stock, performance shares, leveraged restricted shares, and common shares to employees and directors. The maximum number of shares available for issuance is 3.35, which could be treasury shares or unissued shares. As of December 31, 2021, 0.05 stock options were outstanding under the 2009 Omnibus Equity Plan.
We recognized share-based compensation expense of $11.2, $8.6, and $8.8 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The tax benefit related to share-based compensation, which was recorded in net income in the consolidated statement of income during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $2.2, $1.6 and $2.7 respectively, which was recorded in net income in the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2021, total share-based compensation expense of $9.9 is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.

Stock Options
We use a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The expected volatility is based on historical information. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. Weighted-average grant-date fair values of stock options and the assumptions used in estimating the fair values are as follows:

| Year Ended December 31,
| 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share | $ | 52.19 |  |  | $ | 28.53 |  |  | $ | 30.66 |
Expected term (years) | 4.7 |  | 4.8 |  | 5.0
Risk-free interest rate | 0.33 | % |  | 1.66 | % |  | 2.24 | %
Expected volatility | 53.10 | % |  | 46.60 | % |  | 50.94 | %

Stock options generally have a four-year graded vesting period, an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, and a contractual term of 10 years. The following table summarizes our stock option activity from continuing operations:

| December 31, 2021
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted-average Exercise Price |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |  | Weighted- average Remaining Contractual Term
Outstanding at beginning of year | 0.36 |  |  | $ | 57.95 |  |  |  |  |

The total fair value of restricted stock and RSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $17.4, $6.8, and $7.7, respectively.
Performance Units
Performance units are earned over a three-year period. Based on the attainment of pre-determined performance condition targets as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, performance units earned may be in the range of between 0% and 200%. The following table, which is stated at a 100% earned percentage, summarizes our performance units activity from continuing operations:

As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance units expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.7 years is $3.0.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance units granted during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $118.41, $67.50, and $69.53, respectively. The total fair value of performance units that vested during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $0.9, $0.3, and $1.1, respectively.
Directors’ Stock Grants
In 2021, 2020 and 2019, we granted the non-employee directors stock awards covering 0.01 shares of common stock for each of those years, which had fair values of $0.6, $1.3, and $0.6, respectively. These stock awards were fully vested on the grant date. Likewise, the fair values were recognized immediately on the grant date.
NOTE 19 — Leases
Lessee Accounting
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, operating ROU assets and lease liabilities were $27.3 and $27.2 ($5.8 of which was current), and $29.0 and $28.7 ($5.1 of which was current), respectively. The weighted-average remaining term for lease contracts was 5.1 years at December 31, 2021, with maturity dates ranging from September 2022 to February 2029. The weighted-average discount rate was 2.1% at December 31, 2021. ROU assets are classified as property, plant and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets.
We incurred $12.1, $11.1, and $10.2 of rental expense under operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Certain operating leases contain rent escalation clauses and lease concessions that require additional rental payments in the later years of the term. Rent expense for these types of leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Adjustments for straight-line rental expense for the respective periods was not material and as such, the majority of expense recognized was reflected in cash used in operating activities for the respective periods. This expense consisted primarily of payments for base rent on building and equipment leases. Payments related to short-term lease costs and taxes and variable service charges on leased properties were immaterial. In addition, we have the right, but no obligation, to renew certain leases for various renewal terms.

Lessor Accounting
We lease equipment manufactured by Chart primarily through our Cryo-Lease program as sales-type and operating leases. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our short-term net investment in sales-type leases was $9.3 and $0.2, respectively and is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our long-term net investment in sales-type leases was $31.9 and $0.5 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. For sales-type leases, interest income was $0.9 and $0.1 in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Operating leases offered by Chart may include early termination options. At the end of a lease, a lessee generally has the option to either extend the lease, purchase the underlying equipment for a fixed price or return it to Chart. The lease agreements clearly define applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance to ensure that leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return.

NOTE 20 — Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, waste water effluents, air emissions, and handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids. We are involved with environmental compliance, investigation, monitoring, and remediation activities at certain of our owned and formerly owned manufacturing facilities and at one owned facility that is leased to a third party, and, except for these continuing remediation efforts, believe we are currently in substantial compliance with all known environmental regulations. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had undiscounted accrued environmental reserves of $0.2 and $0.3, respectively.
Legal Proceedings
In connection with our divestiture of our Cryobiological business, Chart retained certain potential liabilities, including claims in connection with our following litigation. During the second quarter of 2018, Chart was named in lawsuits (including lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California) filed against Chart and other defendants with respect to the alleged failure of a stainless steel cryobiological storage tank (model MVE 808AF-GB) at the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco, California. In May and June of 2021, the first five of the federal lawsuits went to trial, and on June 10, 2021, the jury reached a verdict against Chart in favor of the plaintiffs in those lawsuits in the amount of $14.9, of which 90% ($13.5) is attributable to Chart. On August 13, 2021, judgment was entered, and on September 10, 2021, we filed two post-trial motions: a motion for a new trial and a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law. The motion for new trial or, in the alternative, request for remittitur, sought, among other relief, to have the court grant a new trial because of erroneous evidentiary rulings, a factually unsupported negligence claim, plaintiffs’ attorney misconduct, allocation of fault that was not supported by the record, and excessive noneconomic damages. The renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law sought to have the court direct judgment for Chart on the negligent failure to recall claim because of our contention that plaintiffs failed to present sufficient evidence to prove each element of that claim. On November 5, 2021, the court denied these post-trial motions. Chart filed its notice of appeal on December 1, 2021. On December 7, 2021, the court stayed the remaining federal lawsuits pending resolution of Chart’s appeal.
In the second quarter 2021, we recorded a loss contingency accrual and corresponding charge to net income for $13.5 in the amount of the jury verdict attributable to Chart. The loss contingency accrual is included in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Chart expects that any potential loss associated with the verdict will be covered by existing product liability insurance, subject to previously issued reservations of rights by the insurance carriers. Accordingly, we have recorded an offsetting $13.5 loss recovery receivable with a corresponding credit to net income. The loss
F-56

CHART INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)
recovery receivable is included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Although we continue to vigorously contest the result in this case, we continue to recognize the loss contingency accrual and related loss recovery receivable in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021.
Currently there are 164 individual cases (excluding the first five cases from the May/June 2021 trial) with respect to the Pacific Fertility Center incident on the docket in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In addition to the cases filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Chart is currently a defendant in 53 individual cases in the San Francisco Superior Court.
We have asserted various defenses against the claims in the lawsuits, which remain in various stages of development, including a defense that since manufacture, we were not in any way involved with the installation, ongoing maintenance or monitoring of the tank or related fertility center cryogenic systems at any time since the initial delivery of the tank. We continue to evaluate the merits of such claims for each specific case in light of the information available to date regarding use, maintenance and operation of the tank that was sold to the Pacific Fertility Center through an independent distributor, and which had been out of our control for six years prior to the alleged failure. We previously disclosed that a loss associated with the claims in the lawsuits was reasonably possible but not estimable. Although we have not reached a conclusion that losses in these cases are currently probable, based on further developments including the status of the various lawsuits, preliminary discussions in an attempt to resolve the entirety of these cases and the consideration of insurance coverage, we now estimate that losses of up to $50.0 are reasonably possible. The reasonably possible losses are an estimate and are net of amounts we expect to be directly covered by insurance, and actual costs arising from this matter could be materially lower or higher depending on the actual costs incurred to resolve the claims in the lawsuits.
We are occasionally subject to various legal claims related to performance under contracts, product liability, taxes, employment matters, environmental matters, intellectual property, and other matters incidental to the normal course of our business. Based on our historical experience in litigating these claims, as well as our current assessment of the underlying merits of the claims and applicable insurance, if any, management believes that the final resolution of these matters, including the Pacific Fertility Center cases described above, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows, or results of operations, except that our results of operations for any particular reporting period may be adversely affected by any potential or actual loss that is accrued in such period. Future developments may, however, result in resolution of these legal claims in a way that could have a material adverse effect.
NOTE 21 — Restructuring Activities
Restructuring costs of $3.5 for the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily related to moving and employee severance costs. During the third quarter of 2021, we announced our intention to transfer our Houston, Texas repair and service operations to our Beasley, Texas location. While we are currently in the process of reevaluating certain aspects of the scope, timing and cost of this project, including our intention to consolidate our Houston, Texas repair and service operations into our Beasley, Texas location, we expect this project to continue in order to streamline local operations.
During 2020, we implemented certain cost reduction actions across all segments and corporate to appropriately size our workforce with demand as well as eliminate redundant work. Costs were primarily related to headcount reductions. These actions resulted in total restructuring costs of $13.6 for the year ended December 31, 2020, consisting of mainly employee severance costs of $10.1. We also transferred operations of our heat exchanger leased facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma to our Beasley, Texas location at which we own 260 acres of land acres and repurposed our Tulsa, Oklahoma facility as a flexible manufacturing, engineering and research and development site serving multiple applications across our operating segments. We incurred costs of $2.7 in 2020 related to this project, which is included in total restructuring costs for the year ended December 31, 2020.
During 2019, we implemented certain cost reduction or avoidance actions, including facility consolidations at certain of our U.S. properties, and a streamlining of the commercial activities surrounding our Lifecycle business in our Repair, Service & Leasing segment, geographic realignment of our manufacturing capacity and a facility closure in Asia, as well as departmental restructuring, including headcount reductions in each of our four segments. These actions resulted in total restructuring costs of $15.6, consisting of employee severance costs, disposals of property, plant and equipment and other costs. Restructuring costs for 2019 reflect a $1.6 credit to Repair, Service & Leasing segment restructuring costs recorded in the second quarter of 2019 due to the successful negotiation of a lease termination for a facility for our previous Lifecycle business. These restructuring activities were substantially completed by the end of 2019.
