Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of Minerals Technologies Inc. (the “Company”, “MTI”, “we”, or “us”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated, have been included. The results for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Company Operations
The Company is a leading, technology-driven specialty minerals company that develops, produces, and markets a broad range of mineral and mineral-based products, related systems and services. The Company serves globally a wide range of consumer and industrial markets, including household, food and pharmaceutical, paper, packaging, automotive, construction, and environmental.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company realigned its business reporting structure into two segments to better align our business and technologies with our customers and end markets and create a more efficient and effective management structure which reflects the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated.
The Company now has two reportable segments: Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions.

– | The Consumer & Specialties segment serves consumer end markets directly, and also provides mineral-based solutions and technologies that are essential to our customers’ products. The two product lines in this segment are Household & Personal Care - our mineral-to-shelf products that serve pet care, personal and household care, fluid purification and other consumer oriented businesses, and Specialty Additives, delivering functional additives to a variety of consumer and industrial end markets including paper, packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer markets including food and pharmaceuticals.

– | The Engineered Solutions segment combines all engineered systems, mineral blends, and technologies that are designed to aid in customer processes and projects. The two product lines in this segment are High-Temperature Technologies – combining all of our mineral-based blends, technologies, and systems serving the foundry, steel, glass, aluminum and other high-temperature processing industries, and Environmental & Infrastructure, which includes environmental and remediation solutions such as geosynthetic clay lining systems, water remediation technologies as well as drilling, commercial building and infrastructure-related products.

Use of Estimates
The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, including valuation allowances, contingent liabilities, and pension plan assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. All recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Note 3. Acquisitions
Concept Pet Heimtierprodukte GmbH
On April 29, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Concept Pet Heimtierprodukte GmbH (“Concept Pet”), a European supplier of pet litter products. The purchase of Concept Pet supports the expansion of our European pet care business, as well as providing additional mineral reserves. The purchase price was $28.0 million and acquisition was financed through cash on hand. The fair value of the total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired, was $22.4 million. In the second quarter of 2023, an additional $1.8 million of hold back consideration was paid. The results of Concept Pet are included within our Household & Personal Care product line in our Consumer & Specialties segment. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that we recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company has recorded goodwill of $9.3 million and intangible assets of $4.3 million relating to this acquisition.
The Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.3 million of acquisition related transaction and integration costs during the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and $2.6 million and $4.2 million in the three and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022, which are reflected within the acquisition-related expenses line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 4. Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

Of the options outstanding of 1,607,833 and 1,524,368 for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, options to purchase 1,289,235 shares and 728,322 shares of common stock for the three-month and six-month periods ending July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive, as the exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares.
Note 5. Restructuring and Other Items, net
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring and cost savings program to further streamline our cost structure as a result of organizational efficiencies gained through our recent resegmentation. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $6.6 million for restructuring and other charges related to severance and other costs.
The following table outlines the amount of restructuring charges recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Income and the segment they relate to:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
(in millions of dollars) |  | Jul. 2, 2023 |  |  | Jul. 3, 2022 |  |  | Jul. 2, 2023 |  |  | Jul. 3, 2022 |

Note 6. Income Taxes
Provision for taxes was $7.5 million and $18.0 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023. Provision for taxes was $11.4 million and $22.6 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022. The effective tax rate was 22.1% for the three months ended July 2, 2023, as compared with 20.2% for the three months ended July 3, 2022. The effective tax rate was 22.0% for the six months ended July 2, 2023, as compared with 20.1% for the six months ended July 3, 2022. The higher tax rate was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings resulting in higher taxes on foreign earnings, as compared to the prior year.
As of July 2, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.8 million of total unrecognized income tax benefits. Included in this amount were a total of $2.1 million of unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.
The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized income tax benefits as part of its provision for income taxes. The Company had a net addition of approximately $0.1 million during the three-month period ended July 2, 2023 and had an accrued balance of $0.5 million of interest and penalties as of July 2, 2023.
The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside the U.S. In certain situations, a taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company has adopted in its income tax filings. The Company, with a few exceptions (none of which are material), is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2015.
Note 7. Inventories
The following is a summary of inventories by major category:

(in millions of dollars) |  | Jul. 2, 2023 |  |  | Dec. 31, 2022 |
Raw materials |  | $ | 158.1 |  |  | $ | 163.4 |
Work-in-process |  |  | 19.3 |  |  |  | 15.6 |
Finished goods |  |  | 120.3 |  |  |  | 114.0 |
Packaging and supplies |  |  | 57.0 |  |  |  | 55.8 |
Total inventories |  | $ | 354.7 |  |  | $ | 348.8 |

Note 8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are assessed for impairment, at least annually. The carrying amount of goodwill was $914.3 million and $914.8 million as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The net change in goodwill from December 31, 2022 to April 2, 2023 is primarily attributable to the effects of foreign exchange.
As a result of the reorganization of the Company's segments in the first quarter of 2023, our goodwill is required to be reallocated amongst the new operating segments. The allocation of goodwill is a complex process that requires, among other things, that we determine the fair value of each reporting unit under both our old and new management structures and the portions being transferred. Our allocation of goodwill to each reporting unit has not been completed and, accordingly, has not been presented. We expect to complete the reallocation of goodwill in the current year.
Intangible assets subject to amortization as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

|  |  |  |  | Jul. 2, 2023 |  |  | Dec. 31, 2022 |
(in millions of dollars) |  | Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) |  |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |  |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  |  | Accumulated Amortization |

The weighted average amortization period for acquired intangible assets subject to amortization is approximately 29 years. Estimated amortization expense is $6.5 million for the remainder of 2023, $47.8 million for 2024–2027 and $181.6 million thereafter.
Note 9. Derivative Financial Instruments
As a multinational corporation with operations throughout the world, the Company is exposed to certain market risks. The Company uses a variety of practices to manage these market risks, including, when considered appropriate, derivative financial instruments. The Company’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from interest rates and foreign currency exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge them. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk management and not for trading or speculative purposes.
By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates and foreign currencies, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty, and therefore, it does not face any credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with major financial institutions.
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or commodity prices. The market risk associated with interest rate and forward exchange contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The Company subsequently reclassifies the effective portion of gain or loss into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings.
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to limit exposure to market fluctuations on floating-rate debt. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. This interest rate swap matured in May 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a new floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. The fair value of this swap is an asset of $1.8 million at July 2, 2023 and is recorded in other assets and deferred charges on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. As a result, the gains and losses associated with this interest rate swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Net Investment Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
To protect the value of our investments in our foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company from time to time hedges a portion of our net investment in one or more of our foreign subsidiaries. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a cross currency rate swap with a total notional value of $150 million to exchange monthly fixed-rate interest payments in U.S. dollars for monthly fixed-rate interest rate payments in Euros. This contract matured in May 2023 and required the exchange of Euros and U.S. dollar principal payments upon maturity. Changes in the fair value of this financial instrument were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to offset the change in the carrying amount of the net investment being hedged. At maturity, the Company realized, in comprehensive income, from inception, an after-tax gain of $7.6 million. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are as follows:

● | Market approach - prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

● | Cost approach - amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost.

● | Income approach - techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing and other models.

12

MINERALS TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company primarily applies the income approach for interest rate derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The fair value of our interest rate and cross currency rate swap contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2.

Total long-term debt |  | $ | 921.2 |  |  | $ | 928.1 |

On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Refinancing Facility Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the Company’s previous credit agreement (the “Previous Credit Agreement”; the previous credit agreement, as amended by the Amendment, being the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amendment provides for, among other things, a new senior secured revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $300 million (the “Revolving Facility”), a portion of which may be used for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans, and a new senior secured term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $550 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility replaced the facilities under the Previous Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, a $788 million senior secured floating rate term loan facility and a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The maturity date for loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is August 11, 2027.
Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment equal to 0.100% plus an applicable margin equal to 1.500% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.500% per annum, subject in each case to (a) an increase of 25 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the net leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter, (b) a decrease of 12.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the net leverage ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter and (c) an decrease of 25 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the net leverage ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter. The Company will pay certain fees under the Amended Credit Agreement, including (a) a commitment fee of 0.250% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility (subject to a step-up to 0.300% and step-downs to 0.175% and 0.150% at the same levels described above), (b) a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the average daily undrawn amount of, plus unreimbursed amounts in respect of disbursements under, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility and (c) customary annual administration fees. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by, subject to certain exceptions, all material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) and secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
As of July 2, 2023, there were $105.0 million in loans and $10.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

(Unaudited)
On June 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 30, 2020, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.0% per annum payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees the Company’s obligations under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities or that guarantees the Company’s or any of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries’ long-term indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption prices listed in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
If the Company experiences a change of control (as defined in the indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Amended Credit Agreement and the Indenture both contain certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions or take certain actions, as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, (x) a maximum net leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 4.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter period preceding such day (subject to an increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for four quarters in connection with certain significant acquisitions) and (y) a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 3.00 to 1.00. The Company is in compliance with all the covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement throughout the period covered by this report.
The Company has a committed loan facility in Japan. As of July 2, 2023, $1.6 million was outstanding under this loan facility. Principal will be repaid in accordance with the payment schedule ending in 2026. The Company repaid $0.2 million on this facility during the first half of 2023.
As part of the Concept Pet acquisition, the Company assumed $1.9 million in long-term debt, recorded at fair value, consisting of two terms loans, one that matures in 2025 and one that matures in 2027. Both loans have annual payments and carry a variable interest rate. The Company repaid $0.4 million on these loans during the first half of 2023.
As of April 2, 2023, the Company had $25.4 million in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines, of which $2.1 million were in use.
Note 11. Benefit Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering eligible employees on a contributory or non-contributory basis. The Company also provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible U.S. retired employees. Disclosures for the U.S. plans have been combined with those outside of the U.S. as the international plans do not have significantly different assumptions, and together represent less than 20% of our total benefit obligation.

Note 13. Contingencies
The Company is party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of our business. The Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are among numerous defendants in a number of cases seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials related to talc products sold by the Company’s subsidiary Barretts Minerals Inc. As of July 2, 2023, we had 501 open asbestos cases related to certain talc products previously sold by Barretts Minerals Inc., which is an increase in volume from previous years. These claims typically allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, but most of these claims do not provide adequate information to assess their merits, the likelihood that the Company will be found liable, or the magnitude of such liability, if any. We are unable to state an amount or range of amounts claimed in any of these lawsuits because state court pleading practices do not require the plaintiff to identify the amount of the claimed damage. The Company’s position, as stated publicly, is that the talc products sold by Barretts Minerals Inc. are safe and do not cause cancer.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies associated with legal matters, including talc-related litigation, when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts accrued for legal contingencies often result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties that rely heavily on estimates and assumptions including timing of related payments. The ability to make such estimates and judgments can be affected by various factors, including whether damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate, the stage of the litigation, the factual and legal matters in dispute, the ability to achieve comprehensive settlements, the availability of co-defendants with substantial resources and assets participating in the litigation, and our evaluation of the unique attributes of each claim.
While costs relating to the defense of talc-related cases has increased concurrently with the volume, the majority of these costs have historically been borne by Pfizer Inc. pursuant to the terms of certain agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in 1992. The Company is entitled to indemnification, pursuant to agreement, for liabilities arising from sales prior to the initial public offering. The Company continues to receive information with respect to potential costs associated with the defense and/or settlement of talc-related cases not subject to indemnification from Pfizer Inc. Although the Company believes that the talc products are safe and that claims to the contrary are without merit, Barretts Minerals Inc. opportunistically settled certain talc-related cases in 2022 and 2023. In the third quarter of 2022, as a result of the settlements and defense costs incurred to date, the Company reviewed its estimates of the probability and amount of losses in connection with its existing talc-related cases and recorded $31 million for litigation costs to defend against, opportunistically settle, and establish a reserve for claims associated with certain talc products from Barretts Minerals Inc. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company reviewed its estimates of the probability and amount of losses in connection with its current talc-related cases and recorded a charge of $13.9 million for litigation costs and to restore its reserve.
The broader litigation and regulatory environments for talc-related claims continue to evolve. Given this ongoing evolution, it is reasonably possible that the Company will incur a loss for liabilities associated with future talc claims in excess of the amount currently recognized. This risk is based on the potential for new talc-related claims that could eventually be filed against the Company together with their associated disposition cost and related legal costs, taking into account the portion of such hypothetical claims that may be subject to indemnification by Pfizer Inc. These factors are unknown and may vary depending upon, among other things, changes in the regulatory and litigation environments for talc-related claims. Further, the Company has announced that it will exit the talc business following a strategic review of its operations and amidst the backdrop of the escalating talc-related litigation environment. However, the effect of an exit from the talc business on future litigation is unknown. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to provide an estimate or range of the magnitude of the Company’s potential loss related to future talc claims.
Note 14. Segment and Related Information
On a regular basis the Company reviews its segments and the approach used by the chief decision maker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to assess performance and allocate resources. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company realigned its business reporting structure and reorganized into two segments, Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions. Following the realignment, the two new segments consist of the following businesses:
The Consumer & Specialties segment serves consumer end markets directly, and provides mineral-based solutions and technologies that are essential to our customers’ products. The two product lines in this segment are Household & Personal Care - our mineral-to-shelf products that serves pet care, personal and household care, fluid purification and other consumer oriented businesses, and Specialty Additives, delivering functional additives to a variety of consumer and industrial end markets including paper, packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer markets including food and pharmaceuticals.

The Engineered Solutions segment combines all engineered systems, mineral blends, and technologies that are designed to aid in customer processes and projects. The two product lines in this segment are High-Temperature Technologies – combining all of our mineral-based blends, technologies, and systems serving the foundry, steel, glass, aluminum and other high-temperature processing industries, and Environmental & Infrastructure, which includes environmental and remediation solutions such as geosynthetic clay lining systems, water remediation technologies as well as drilling, commercial building and infrastructure-related products.
We believe the new structure better aligns our businesses and technologies with our customers and end markets and creates a more efficient and effective management structure that reflects the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated.
The Company has two reportable segments: Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment information for the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 is as follows:

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Minerals Technologies Inc.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Minerals Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of July 2, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and April 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 and April 3, 2022, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 17, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Summary
Our consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $551.5 million, a decrease of 1% as compared with $557.0 million in the prior year. Income from operations was $49.9 million and represented 9.0% of sales, as compared with $69.4 million and 12.5% of sales in the prior year. Included in income from operations for the second quarter of 2023, were $6.6 million of restructuring charges, $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses and $13.9 million of litigation expenses. Included in income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 were $2.6 million of acquisition-related expenses and $1.5 million of litigation expenses. Net income was $26.6 million, as compared to $44.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings in the second quarter ended July 2, 2023 were $0.82 per share, as compared with $1.36 per share in the second quarter of 2022.
Second quarter 2023 results were solid as the Company continued to deliver on its strategic growth initiatives driven by multi-year advancements in new product development, positioning in growth markets and geographies, geographic penetration and growth from acquisitions. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company announced that it will exit the talc business following a strategic review of its operations and amidst the backdrop of the escalating talc-related litigation environment.
Our balance sheet continues to be strong. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $255.4 million as of July 2, 2023 and the Company had more than $400 million of available liquidity, including cash on hand as well as availability under its revolving credit facility. We believe that these factors will allow us to meet our anticipated funding requirements.
Outlook

Segment Review
On a regular basis, the Company reviews its segments and the approach used by the chief decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company realigned its business reporting structure and reorganized into two segments, Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions. Following the realignment, the two new segments consist of the following businesses:
The Consumer & Specialties segment serves consumer end markets directly, and also provides mineral-based solutions and technologies that are essential to our customers’ products. The two product lines in this segment are Household & Personal Care - our mineral-to-shelf products that serves pet care, personal and household care, fluid purification and other consumer oriented businesses, and Specialty Additives, delivering functional additives to a variety of consumer and industrial end markets including paper, packaging, construction, automotive, and consumer markets including food and pharmaceuticals
The Engineered Solutions segment combines all engineered systems, mineral blends, and technologies that are designed to aid in customer processes and projects. The two product lines in this segment are High-Temperature Technologies – combining all of our mineral-based blends, technologies, and systems serving the foundry, steel, glass, aluminum and other high-temperature processing industries, and Environmental & Infrastructure, which includes environmental and remediation solutions such as geosynthetic clay lining systems, water remediation technologies as well as drilling, commercial building and infrastructure-related products.

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: remainder of 2023 - $7.4 million; 2024 - $18.0 million; 2025 - $31.8 million; 2026 - $42.0 million; 2027 - $443.7 million; thereafter - $400.0 million.
On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Refinancing Facility Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the Company’s previous credit agreement (the “Previous Credit Agreement”; the previous credit agreement, as amended by the Amendment, being the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amendment provides for, among other things, a new senior secured revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $300 million (the “Revolving Facility”), a portion of which may be used for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans, and a new senior secured term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $550 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility replace the facilities under the Previous Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, a $788 million senior secured floating rate term loan facility and a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The maturity date for loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is August 11, 2027.
Loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment equal to 0.100% plus an applicable margin equal to 1.500% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.500% per annum, subject in each case to (a) an increase of 25 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the net leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter, (b) a decrease of 12.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the net leverage ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter and (c) an decrease of 25 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the net leverage ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter. The Company will pay certain fees under the Amended Credit Agreement, including (a) a commitment fee of 0.250% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility (subject to a step-up to 0.300% and step-downs to 0.175% and 0.150% at the same levels described above), (b) a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the average daily undrawn amount of, plus unreimbursed amounts in respect of disbursements under, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility and (c) customary annual administration fees. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by, subject to certain exceptions, all material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) and secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
25

As of July 2, 2023, there were $105.0 million in loans and $10.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
On June 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 30, 2020, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.0% per annum payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees the Company’s obligations under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities or that guarantees the Company’s or any of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries’ long-term indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption prices listed in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
If the Company experiences a change of control (as defined in the indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Amended Credit Agreement and the Indenture both contain certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions or take certain actions, as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, (x) a maximum net leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 4.00 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter period preceding such day (subject to an increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for four quarters in connection with certain significant acquisitions) and (y) a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 3.00 to 1.00. The Company is in compliance with all the covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement throughout the period covered by this report.
The Company has a committed loan facility in Japan. As of July 2, 2023, $1.6 million was outstanding under this loan facility. Principal will be repaid in accordance with the payment schedule ending in 2026. The Company repaid $0.2 million on this facility during the first half of 2023.
As part of the Concept Pet acquisition, the Company assumed $1.9 million in long-term debt, recorded at fair value, consisting of two terms loans, one that matures in 2025 and one that matures in 2027. Both loans have annual payments and carry a variable interest rate. The Company repaid $0.4 million on these loans in the first three months of 2023.
As of July 2, 2023, the Company had $25.4 million in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines, of which $2.1 million were in use. The credit lines are primarily outside the U.S. and are generally one year in term at competitive market rates at large, well-established institutions. The Company typically uses its available credit lines to fund working capital requirements or local capital spending needs. We anticipate that capital expenditures for 2023 will be approximately $90 million, principally related to opportunities to improve our operations and meet our strategic growth objectives.

The fair value of this instrument at July 2, 2023 is an asset of $1.8 million.
The Company is required to make future payments under various contracts, including debt agreements and lease agreements. The Company also has commitments to fund its pension plans and provide payments for other postretirement benefit plans.

The Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are among numerous defendants in over five hundred cases seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials related to talc products sold by the Company’s subsidiary Barretts Minerals Inc. During the third quarter of 2022, based on its evaluation of available information, the Company accrued $31 million for litigation costs to defend against, opportunistically settle, and establish a reserve for such cases. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company reviewed its estimates of the probability and amount of losses in connection with its current talc-related cases and recorded a charge of $13.9 million for litigation costs and to restore its reserve. The Company’s position is that these cases are meritless and all talc products sold by Barretts Minerals Inc. are safe. However, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation. The Company could in the future be required to pay significant amounts as a result of settlements or judgments in these matters, potentially in excess of liabilities accrued to date. Further, the Company has announced that it will exit the talc business following a strategic review of its operations and amidst the backdrop of the escalating talc-related litigation environment. However, whether Barretts Minerals Inc. is able to dispose of its talc business, on favorable terms or otherwise, and the potential associated financial effects of such disposition efforts, successful or otherwise, are currently unknown. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information.
At the current time, we are operating without any material impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pandemic is not having a materially negative impact to our consolidated results. However, as we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our customers and suppliers, we cannot reasonably estimate any negative financial impact to our results in future periods. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs and continue to maintain access to capital markets. See “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Exhibit 99 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for additional risks to the Company related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cautionary Statement for “Safe Harbor” Purposes under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. This report contains statements that the Company believes may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, particularly statements relating to the Company’s objectives, plans or goals, future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenditures, and financial results. From time to time, the Company also provides forward-looking statements in other publicly-released materials, both written and oral. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations and forecasts of future events such as new products, revenues and financial performance, and are not limited to describing historical or current facts. They can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” and other words and phrases of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on assumptions, estimates and limited information available at the time they are made. A broad variety of risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, as well as the inaccuracy of assumptions and estimates, can affect the realization of the expectations or forecasts in these statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties are difficult to predict or are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially. Significant factors that could affect the expectations and forecasts include worldwide general economic, business, and industry conditions; the cyclicality of our customers’ businesses and their changing regional demands; our ability to compete in very competitive industries; consolidation in customer industries, principally paper, foundry and steel; our ability to renew or extend long term sales contracts for our satellite operations; our ability to generate cash to service our debt; our ability to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing our debt; our ability to effectively achieve and implement our growth initiatives or consummate the transactions described in the statements; our ability to successfully develop new products; our ability to defend our intellectual property; the increased risks of doing business abroad; the availability of raw materials and access to ore reserves at our mining operations, or increases in costs of raw materials, energy, or shipping; compliance with or changes to regulation in the areas of environmental, health and safety, and tax; claims for legal, environmental and tax matters or product stewardship issues; the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting preventative measures; operating risks and capacity limitations affecting our production facilities; seasonality of some of our businesses; cybersecurity and other threats relating to our information technology systems; and other risk factors set forth under “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Exhibit 99 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Investors should refer to the Company’s subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for further disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. All recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, including valuation allowances and pension plan assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that cannot readily be determined from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates that our accounting policies require us to make in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, as described in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in market prices and foreign currency and interest rates. We are exposed to market risk because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar. We do not anticipate that near-term changes in exchange rates will have a material impact on our future earnings or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that a sudden and significant decline in the value of foreign currencies would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. A portion of our long-term bank debt bears interest at variable rates; therefore, our results of operations would be affected by interest rate changes to the extent of such outstanding bank debt. An immediate 10 percent change in interest rates would have a material effect on our results of operations over the next fiscal year. A one-percent change in interest rates, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate derivatives, would result in $24 million in incremental interest charges on an annual basis.
We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. When appropriate, we enter into derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts, hedges and interest rate swaps, to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and interest rate movements on our operating results. The counterparties are major financial institutions. Such forward exchange contracts, hedges and interest rate swaps would not subject us to additional risk from exchange rate or interest rate movements because gains and losses on these contracts would offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. Additionally, the Company entered into a cross currency rate swap with a total notional value of $150 million to exchange monthly fixed-rate interest payments in U.S. dollars for monthly fixed-rate interest rate payments in Euros. These swaps both matured in May 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a new floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. The fair value of this instrument at July 2, 2023 is an asset of $1.8 million.
