See “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies” for further detail on the 2024 severance.

On February 21, 2023, the Company announced a rebranding initiative that occurred during the first half of 2023. As a result of this initiative, our existing trademarks are no longer considered indefinite-lived and will be measured for abandonment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The rebranding announcement qualified as a triggering event, and the Company tested the existing trademarks for abandonment. This evaluation included significant judgment, including discount rates based on our weighted-average cost of capital and the royalty rate. This resulted in $11.1 million of abandonment expense to trademarks using the relief-from-royalty method, which was recorded in the Chemical Technologies segment within impairments and abandonments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
