# INNOSPEC INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

# NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDEN SED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

During the year, the Company has reclassified prior period amounts to conform to the 2025 presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported total net revenue, operating income or net income. For the first quarter of 2025, this has resulted in $1.9 million (first quarter of 2024 - $2.2 million) of costs that were previously disclosed within selling, general and administrative expenses, being moved to research and development expenses.

It is our opinion, however, that all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) have been made which are necessary for the condensed consolidated financial statements to be fairly stated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on February 19, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

The results for the interim period covered by this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

When we use the terms “Innospec,” “the Corporation,” “the Company,” “Registrant,” “the Group,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we are referring to Innospec Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company reports its financial performance based on three reportable segments, which are Performance Chemicals, Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer) and is a Director of Innospec Inc.. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments and makes strategic decisions relating to the Company's allocation of resources, based on the segments' gross profit and operating income.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of options that are dilutive and outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. Per share amounts are computed as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Numerator (in millions): |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income available to common stockholders |  | $ | 32.8 |  |  | $ | 41.4 |
Denominator (in thousands): |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average common shares outstanding |  |  | 24,970 |  |  |  | 24,893 |
Dilutive effect of stock options and awards |  |  | 132 |  |  |  | 173 |
Denominator for diluted earnings per share |  |  | 25,102 |  |  |  | 25,066 |
Net income per share, basic: |  | $ | 1.31 |  |  | $ | 1.66 |
Net income per share, diluted: |  | $ | 1.31 |  |  | $ | 1.65 |

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the average number of anti-dilutive options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 10,342 (three months ended March 31, 2024 – 31,184).

NOTE 4 – GOODWILL

The following table summarizes the goodwill movements in the year:

(in millions) |  | 2025 |
Opening balance at January 1, |  | $ | 382.5 |
Exchange effect |  |  | 5.9 |
Closing balance at March 31 |  | $ | 388.4 |

The exchange effect for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.9 million relating to our Performance Chemicals segment.

NOTE 5 – OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table analyzes other intangible assets movements in the year:

(in millions) |  | 2025 |
Gross cost at January 1 |  | $ | 331.8 |
Additions |  |  | 7.2 |
Exchange effect |  |  | 5.7 |
Gross cost at March 31 |  |  | 344.7 |
Accumulated amortization at January 1 |  |  | (266.4 | )
Amortization expense |  |  | (2.7 | )
Exchange effect |  |  | (2.8 | )
Accumulated amortization at March 31 |  |  | (271.9 | )
Net book amount at March 31 |  | $ | 72.8 |

The amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.7 million (three months ended March 31, 2024 – $2.8 million).

9

In 2025, we have capitalized $7.2 million in relation to our internally developed software for a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system covering all our regions. The project is ongoing and is currently expected to complete in 2026. The expenses capitalized include the acquisition costs for the software as well as the external consultancy costs and the internal employee costs relating to the software development.

NOTE 6 – PENSION AND POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The Company previously maintained a defined benefit pension plan covering certain current and former employees in the United Kingdom (the “UK Plan”).

The UK Plan was bought out in the fourth quarter of 2024, therefore the company is no longer responsible for the future obligation for retirement benefits due to current and former employees. The remaining asset on the balance sheet of $1.3 million relates to cash held to cover the remaining expenses of the scheme and a negligible remaining Projected Benefit Obligation ("PBO") of $0.1 million, reflecting the UK Plan’s residual liabilities in respect of Guaranteed Minimum Pension equalization top-up payments due to former members of the UK Plan. Following the UK Plan buy-out, the Company is no longer required to make future cash contributions to the UK Plan. We expect the UK Plan to be fully wound up during 2025.

The Company also maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain current and former employees in Germany (the “German plan”). The German plan is closed to new entrants and has no assets. As at March 31, 2025, we have recorded a liability of $9.3 million (December 31, 2024 – $9.0 million).

The net periodic benefit of these plans is shown in the following table:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
(in millions) |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Service credit/(cost) |  | $ | (1.2 | ) |  | $ | (0.8 | )
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | (4.7 | )
Expected return on plan assets |  |  | — |  |  |  | 6.4 |
Amortization of prior service cost |  |  | — |  |  |  | (0.1 | )
Amortization of actuarial net gains |  |  | — |  |  |  | 0.1 |
Net periodic benefit |  | $ | (1.3 | ) |  | $ | 0.9 |

The service cost has been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. All other items have been recognized within other income and expense. The amortization of prior service cost and actuarial net gains are a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into other income and expense.

In addition, we have obligations for post-employment benefits in some of our other European businesses. As at March 31, 2025, we have recorded a liability of $3.6 million (December 31, 2024 – $4.1 million).

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

As of January 1, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and there has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Accordingly, there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2025, and the Company recorded no associated interest or penalties. The Company does not expect any significant changes to this position over the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for years 2021 onwards under the statute of limitations. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including Brazil (2020 onwards), Germany (2020 onwards), and the U.K. (2023 onwards).

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

As at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had no t drawn down on its revolving credit facility. During the first three months of 2025 and 2024, the Company did no t draw down or repay any borrowing on its revolving credit facility.

The Company continues to have available a $250.0 million multicurrency revolving credit facility until May 30, 2028.

As at March 31, 2025, the deferred finance costs of $1.0 million (December 31, 2024 - $1.1 million) related to the arrangement of the revolving credit facility, are included within other current and non-current assets at the balance sheet dates.

NOTE 9 – PLANT CLOSURE PROVISIONS

The Company has continuing plans to remediate manufacturing facilities at sites around the world as and when those operations are expected to cease, or we are required to decommission the sites according to local laws and regulations. The liability for estimated plant closure costs includes costs for environmental remediation liabilities and asset retirement obligations.

The principal site giving rise to asset retirement obligations is the manufacturing site at Ellesmere Port in the U.K.. There are also asset retirement obligations and environmental remediation liabilities on a much smaller scale in respect of other manufacturing sites.

Movements in the provisions are summarized as follows:

(in millions) |  | 2025 |
Total at January 1 |  | $ | 60.3 |
Charge for the period |  |  | 0.8 |
Utilized in the period |  |  | (1.2 | )
Exchange effect |  |  | 2.3 |
Total at March 31 |  |  | 62.2 |
Due within one year |  |  | (5.0 | )
Due after one year |  | $ | 57.2 |

The charge for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $0.8 million (three months ended March 31, 2024 – $0.8 million). The current year charge represents the accounting accretion only, with no changes for the expected cost and scope of future remediation activities. Amounts due within one year refer to provisions where expenditure is expected to arise within one year of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amount and fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

|  | March 31, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |
(in millions) |  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Derivatives (Level 1 measurement): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Other current and non-current assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Emissions Trading Scheme credits |  |  | 4.7 |  |  |  | 4.7 |  |  |  | 3.9 |  |  |  | 3.9 |
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.5 |  |  |  | 1.5 |
Liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Non-financial liabilities (Level 3 measurement): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Acquisition-related contingent consideration |  |  | 22.6 |  |  |  | 22.6 |  |  |  | 20.1 |  |  |  | 20.1 |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Emissions Trading Scheme credits: The fair value is determined by the open market pricing at the end of the reporting period.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts: The fair value of derivatives relating to foreign currency forward exchange contracts are derived from current settlement prices and comparable contracts using current assumptions. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily relate to contracts entered into to hedge future known transactions or hedge balance sheet net cash positions. The movements in the carrying amounts and fair values of these contracts are largely due to changes in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration: Contingent consideration payable in cash is discounted to its fair value at each balance sheet date. Where contingent consideration is dependent upon pre-determined financial targets, an estimate of the fair value of the likely consideration payable is made at each balance sheet date. The contingent consideration payable has been calculated based on the latest forecast.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company enters into various foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange rate exposure from expected future cash flows. As at March 31, 2025, the contracts have maturity dates of up to two years at the date of inception. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments, and their impact on the income statement for the first three months of 2025 was a loss of $2.3 million (first three months of 2024 – a gain of $1.0 million). The gain or loss has been recorded in other income or expense.

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES

Le g al matters

We are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, and employee and product liability claims.

As reported in our 2023 Form 10-K, we have incurred financial losses and lodged a civil and criminal legal claim related to a misappropriation of inventory in Brazil. As at the time of filing, there have been no significant developments to report in relation to the claims being made. Consistent with prior quarters, a corresponding asset for the potential legal or insurance recoveries has not been recorded for the resulting financial losses arising from this matter.

In addition, unrelated to the Brazil matter, in the unlikely event there are an unexpectedly large number of individual claims or proceedings with an adverse resolution, this could in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a particular year or quarter.

Guarantees

The Company and certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are contingently liable for certain obligations of affiliated companies primarily in the form of guarantees of debt and performance under contracts entered into as a normal business practice. This includes guarantees of non-U.S. excise taxes and customs duties. As at March 31, 2025, such guarantees which are not recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements amounted to $7.8 million (December 31, 2024 - $6.8 million). The remaining terms of the fixed maturity guarantees are up to 8 years, with some further guarantees having no fixed expiry date.

Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the Company would be required to perform the obligations should the affiliated company fail to fulfill its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements have recourse provisions that would enable the Company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from securities held of the guaranteed parties’ assets.

The Company and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Company.

NOTE 13 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The compensation cost recorded for stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

The compensation cost recorded for stock equivalent units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the transactions of the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

|  | Number of shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at December 31, 2024 |  |  | 574,671 |  |  | $ | 86.2 |
Granted |  |  | 166,037 |  |  | $ | 105.2 |
Vested |  |  | (151,347 | ) |  | $ | 87.3 |
Forfeited |  |  | (8,087 | ) |  | $ | 74.0 |
Nonvested at March 31, 2025 |  |  | 581,274 |  |  | $ | 91.3 |

For the awards granted with market conditions, a Monte Carlo model has been used to calculate the grant-date fair value. For all other awards granted, a fair market value methodology has been used to calculate the grant-date fair value.

The awards granted with market conditions include a performance measure for Innospec's total shareholder return as compared to a peer group of companies. This measure can result in a maximum 130% vesting for the number of stock options granted. The maximum potential vesting has been reflected in the grant-date fair value calculation, but not reflected for the number of awards granted, as shown in the table above. All other awards granted in the quarter have similar vesting conditions to those granted in the previous periods.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $31.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

## Performance Chemicals

Net sales: the table below details the components which comprise the year over year change in net sales spread across the markets in which we operate:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |
Change (%) |  | Americas |  |  | EMEA |  |  | ASPAC |  |  | Total |
Volume |  |  | +11 |  |  |  | -3 |  |  |  | +31 |  |  |  | +5 |
Price and product mix |  |  | -6 |  |  |  | +9 |  |  |  | +8 |  |  |  | +3 |
Exchange rates |  |  | — |  |  |  | -5 |  |  |  | -3 |  |  |  | -3 |
|  |  | +5 |  |  |  | +1 |  |  |  | +36 |  |  |  | +5 |

Higher sales volumes for the Americas were driven by increased demand for our personal care products, being partly offset by an adverse price and product mix due to higher demand for our lower priced products. The volumes decline in EMEA was offset by a favorable price and product mix, primarily driven by higher demand for higher priced personal care products. ASPAC volumes were higher driven by increased demand for our personal care products, together with a favorable price and product mix due to higher demand for higher priced personal care products. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Gross margin: the year over year decrease of 2.4 percentage points was primarily due to pricing pressure in a competitive market being partly driven by the recent global economic uncertainty and higher demand for our lower priced products.

18

Operating expenses: decreased by $1.1 million year over year due to lower provisions for doubtful debts, together with lower provisions for bonuses and performance-related remuneration accruals.

## Fuel Specialties

Net sales: the table below details the components which comprise the year over year change in net sales spread across the markets in which we operate:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 |
Change (%) |  | Americas |  |  | EMEA |  |  | ASPAC |  |  | AvGas |  |  | Total |
Volume |  |  | +1 |  |  |  | +3 |  |  |  | -16 |  |  |  | +17 |  |  |  | — |
Price and product mix |  |  | -3 |  |  |  | -3 |  |  |  | +3 |  |  |  | +9 |  |  |  | -2 |
Exchange rates |  |  | — |  |  |  | -5 |  |  |  | -1 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | -2 |
|  |  | -2 |  |  |  | -5 |  |  |  | -14 |  |  |  | +26 |  |  |  | -4 |

Sales volumes in the Americas and EMEA have increased year over year due to increased demand from customers, being offset by an adverse price and product mix from lower pricing resulting from lower raw material costs. Sales volumes in ASPAC have decreased year over year due to decreased demand from customers, being partly offset by a favorable price and product mix due to an improved sales mix. AvGas volumes were higher than the prior year due to variations in the demand from customers, together with a favorable price and product mix due to a favorable customer mix. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate movements.

Gross margin: the year over year increase of 1.4 percentage points was driven by an improved sales mix from increased sales of higher margin products, together with reduced raw material and other inflationary pressures.

Operating expenses: the year over year decrease of $3.3 million was due to lower provisions for doubtful debts, together with lower provisions for bonuses and performance-related remuneration accruals.

## Oilfield Services

Net sales: have decreased year over year by $60.4 million, or 37 percent, with the majority of our customer activity concentrated in the Americas region. Sales volumes were adversely impacted by significantly lower production chemical activity in Latin America. Management continues to see potential growth opportunities for our other oilfield markets.

Gross margin: the year over year decrease of 6.9 percentage points was due to an unfavorable sales mix as our customer demand has weakened.

Operating expenses: the year over year decrease of $15.6 million was due to lower customer service costs and commissions related to the reduced demand from certain customers, together with lower provisions for bonuses and performance-related remuneration accruals.

## Other Income Statement Captions

Corporate costs: the year over year decrease of $2.5 million was primarily due to lower provisions for bonuses and performance-related remuneration accruals, being partly offset by the additional investment in our IT infrastructure and the amortization of our new group-wide ERP system.

19

Other net income/(expense): for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, included the following:

(in millions) |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | Change |
Net pension credit |  | $ | (0.1 | ) |  | $ | 1.7 |  |  | $ | (1.8 | )
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests |  |  | (0.8 | ) |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | (0.7 | )
Foreign exchange gains/(losses) on translation |  |  | 2.7 |  |  |  | 0.1 |  |  |  | 2.6 |
Foreign currency forward contracts gains/(losses) |  |  | (2.3 | ) |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | (3.3 | )
|  | $ | (0.5 | ) |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | (3.2 | )

Interest income/(expense), net: in the first quarter of 2025 was $2.4 million of income compared to $2.1 million of income in the first quarter of 2024, driven by the interest income being earned from our higher cash balances.

Income taxes: the effective tax rate was 26.1% and 25.1% in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for the items set out in the following table, was 24.4% in 2025 compared with 24.5% in 2024. The 0.1% decrease in the adjusted effective rate was primarily due to the fact that a higher proportion of the Company’s profits are being generated in lower tax jurisdictions. The Company believes that this adjusted effective tax rate, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors and may assist them in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. In addition, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods.

The following table shows a reconciliation of the GAAP effective tax charge to the adjusted effective tax charge:

# LIQUIDI TY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

## Working Capital

In the first three months of 2025 our working capital increased by $34.3 million, while our adjusted working capital increased by $27.1 million. The difference is primarily due to the exclusion of the increases for cash and cash equivalents, together with the changes for the current portion of income taxes.

The Company believes that adjusted working capital, a non-GAAP financial measure (defined by the Company as trade and other accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rather than total current assets less total current liabilities) provides useful information to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations. Items excluded from working capital in the adjusted working capital calculation are listed in the table below and represent factors which do not fluctuate in line with the day to day working capital needs of the business.

(in millions) |  | March 31, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |
Total current assets |  | $ | 977.1 |  |  | $ | 956.6 |
Total current liabilities |  |  | (357.6 | ) |  |  | (371.4 | )
Working capital |  |  | 619.5 |  |  |  | 585.2 |
Less cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (299.8 | ) |  |  | (289.2 | )
Less prepaid income taxes |  |  | (1.0 | ) |  |  | (3.1 | )
Less other current assets |  |  | (1.4 | ) |  |  | (0.6 | )
Add back accrued income taxes |  |  | 21.6 |  |  |  | 19.6 |
Add back current portion of plant closure provisions |  |  | 5.0 |  |  |  | 5.0 |
Add back current portion of operating lease liabilities |  |  | 14.0 |  |  |  | 13.9 |
Adjusted working capital |  | $ | 357.9 |  |  | $ | 330.8 |

We had a $1.8 million increase in trade and other accounts receivable due to the timing of cash collections and sales in each of our segments. Days’ sales outstanding increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 61 days to 63 days; increased from 57 days to 60 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and decreased from 83 days to 75 days in our Oilfield Services segment.

We had a $14.4 million increase in inventories, including a $1.2 million increase in allowances, driven by higher levels of finished goods due to higher production in advance of planned maintenance shutdowns. The Company continues to maintain inventory levels necessary to manage the risk of potential supply chain disruption for certain key raw materials, especially in our Fuel Specialties segment. Days’ sales in inventory in our Performance Chemicals segment increased from 63 days to 67 days; increased from 113 days to 129 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and decreased from 76 days to 67 days in our Oilfield Services segment.

Prepaid expenses decreased $5.0 million, from $21.0 million to $16.0 million, primarily due to the normal expensing of prepaid invoices.

We had a $15.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which was dependent on the timing of payments for each of our reporting segments. Creditor days (including goods received not invoiced) have increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 46 days to 47 days; increased from 44 days to 54 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and decreased from 68 days to 59 days in our Oilfield Services segment. The changes for creditor days have been impacted by the timing of sales and cost of sales in the quarter, when using a countback methodology.

21

## Operating Cash Flows

We generated cash from operating activities of $28.3 million in the first three months of 2025 compared to $80.6 million in the first three months of 2024. The decrease in cash generated from operating activities was related to decreased operating income and less favorable working capital cash flows primarily related to the increased inventory levels needed to secure the supply of certain raw materials.

## Cash

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $299.8 million and $289.2 million, respectively, of which $143.9 million and $133.9 million, respectively, were held by non-U.S. subsidiaries principally in the United Kingdom.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million for the first three months of 2025 was primarily driven by our positive trading cash flow, being partly offset by our continued investments in capital projects and our repurchases of common stock.

## Debt

We continue to have available a $250.0 million multicurrency revolving credit facility.

At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and no obligations were outstanding under finance leases. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

## Item 3 Quantitative and Qualita tive Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company uses floating rate debt to finance its global operations. The Company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations, and market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The political and economic risks are mitigated by the stability of the major countries in which the Company’s largest operations are located. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize bad debt risk. Collateral is not generally required.

From time to time, the Company uses derivatives, including interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, in the normal course of business to manage market risks. The derivatives used in hedging activities are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. In addition, the Company enters into derivative instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the exposure to non-performance of such instruments. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to reduce volatility on earnings and cash flows associated with such changes.

The Company offers fixed prices for some long-term sales contracts. As manufacturing and raw material costs are subject to variability, the Company, from time to time, uses commodity swaps to hedge the cost of some raw materials thus reducing volatility on earnings and cash flows. The derivatives are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. The Company’s objective is to manage its exposure to fluctuating costs of raw materials.

The Company’s exposure to market risk has been discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K and there have been no significant changes since that time.

## Item 4 Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation carried out as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of March 31, 2025, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

## Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and of its internal control over financial reporting. This is intended to result in refinements to processes throughout the Company.

As previously disclosed, we are continuing with the development of a new, company-wide, information system platform which began in 2022. The new platform provider is well established in the market. The implementation is a phased, risk-managed, site deployment following a multistage user acceptance program with the existing platform providing a fallback position. In connection with this implementation, the Company has updated its internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to its business processes and accounting procedures.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER IN FORMATION

## Item 1 Legal Pr oceedings

Le g al matters

We are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims.

As reported in our 2023 Form 10-K, we have incurred financial losses and lodged a civil and criminal legal claim related to a misappropriation of inventory in Brazil. As at the time of filing, there have been no significant developments to report in relation to the claims being made. Consistent with prior quarters, a corresponding asset for the potential legal or insurance recoveries has not been recorded for the resulting financial losses arising from this matter.

In addition, unrelated to the Brazil matter, in the unlikely event there are an unexpectedly large number of individual claims or proceedings with an adverse resolution, this could in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a particular year or quarter.

## Item 1A Risk F actors

Information regarding risk factors that could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition are described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2024 Form 10-K. In management’s view, there have been no material changes in the risk factors facing the Company as disclosed in those SEC filings.
