In 2024, the Company determined that the current fair value of one of its non-U.S. equity investments (a small glass container manufacturer reported in the non-reportable Retained corporate costs and other category) was less than its carrying value and that it was other-than-temporarily impaired. As such, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $25 million to the equity earnings line in its Consolidated Results of Operations to reduce its carrying value down to its estimated fair value. Subsequent to the impairment charge, the remaining carrying value of this equity investment was approximately $5 million. The Company classified the significant assumptions that were utilized in a third-party market quote to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

Based on an evaluation of each of the Company’s equity investments for the three years ending December 31, 2025, no investments exceeded the significant subsidiary thresholds per Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. As such, separate financial statements for the Company’s equity investments are not required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company made purchases of approximately $136 million and $121 million from equity affiliates in 2025 and 2024, respectively, and owed approximately $88 million and $77 million to equity affiliates as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
