ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
Overview
EnPro Industries, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “EnPro,” or the “Company”) is a leading-edge industrial technology company focused on critical applications across a diverse group of growing end markets such as semiconductor, photonics, industrial process, aerospace, food, biopharmaceuticals and life sciences. EnPro is a leader in applied engineering and designs, develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary, value-added products and solutions that safeguard a variety of critical environments.
Over the past several years, we have executed several strategic initiatives to create a portfolio of businesses that offer proprietary, industrial technology-related products and solutions with high barriers to entry, compelling margins, strong cash flow, and perpetual recurring/aftermarket revenue in markets with favorable secular tailwinds.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, and certain related information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in the preparation of our annual financial statements. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included within our annual report on Form 10-K.
In the second quarter of 2023, we determined the lower than previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of our Semiconductor and Alluxa reporting units, which comprise our entire Advanced Surface Technologies segment, to be a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test and, as a result, we performed an assessment for each of these reporting units.
We determined the book value of our Alluxa reporting unit exceeded its fair value as of June 30, 2023 and, as a result, we impaired the $60.8 million of goodwill that has been allocated to Alluxa since December 31, 2022. After this full impairment, our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 reflects no goodwill related to Alluxa.
The fair value of our Semiconductor reporting unit, which has allocated goodwill of $532.2 million as of our interim testing date of June 30, 2023, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. If the annual growth rates in our projected revenues over each of the next four years were 1% lower than currently projected, we estimate the fair value of the Semiconductor reporting unit would exceed its carrying value by approximately 8%.
A change in assumptions used in the testing of the Semiconductor reporting unit's goodwill for impairment, such as an increase in the discount rate, inability to meet the projections used in the test, or a decline in market multiples could result in the Semiconductor reporting unit’s fair value dropping below the carrying value of its assets, resulting in impairment. We will continue to monitor the performance of our Semiconductor reporting unit in relation to the June 30, 2023 projections and perform an interim assessment if we determine a triggering event has occurred.
We will conduct our annual goodwill impairment assessment of all reporting units with goodwill as of November 1, 2023, unless facts and circumstances arise prior to then that triggers another interim assessment.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities at period end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
All intercompany accounts and transactions between our consolidated operations have been eliminated.

2. Discontinued Operations
On January 30, 2023, we completed the sale of Garlock Pipeline Technologies, Inc. ("GPT") for gross proceeds of $31.4 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of discontinued operations of $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.
GPT, along with our GGB business that we divested on November 4, 2022, comprised our remaining Engineered Materials segment ("Engineered Materials"). We determined Engineered Materials to be a discontinued operation. Accordingly, we have reported, for all periods presented, the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of Engineered Materials as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the results of operations from the discontinued Engineered Materials segment were as follows:

Pursuant to applicable accounting guidance for the reporting of discontinued operations, allocations to Engineered Materials for corporate services not expected to continue at the divested business subsequent to closing have not been reflected in the above financial statements of discontinued operations and have been reclassified to income from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company for all periods. In addition, divestiture-related costs previously not allocated to Engineered Materials that were incurred as a result of the divestiture of Engineered Materials have been reflected in the financial results of discontinued operations. As a result, income before income taxes of Engineered
5
Materials has been decreased by $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, with offsetting decreases in corporate expenses of continuing operations.
3. Income Taxes
Our income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate on income from continuing operations are based upon the estimated annual effective tax rates applicable for the respective periods adjusted for the effect of items required to be treated as discrete in the interim periods. This estimated annual effective tax rate is affected by the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Based on the geographical mix of earnings, our annual effective tax rate fluctuates based on the portion of our profits earned in each jurisdiction. Additionally, in accordance with discontinued operations reporting requirements, income tax expense for the current and prior periods presented have been adjusted to reflect only the activity of continuing operations. This presentation requires removing all elements of income tax expense associated with discontinued operations entities as well as their indirect impact on the overall income tax provision.
The effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were a benefit of 20.0% and an expense of 22.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 is primarily driven by impairment of non-deductible tax goodwill and higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions.
The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 43.0% and 22.0%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily driven by impairment of non-deductible tax goodwill and higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions partially offset by the release of a valuation allowance on certain foreign net operating losses and a tax benefit related to share-based payment awards. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily the result of a legal entity conversion in Taiwan, an intercompany sale of assets, and favorable foreign currency effects on dividends, partially offset by higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions.

8. Long-Term Debt
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On December 17, 2021, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) among the Company and our subsidiary, EnPro Holdings Inc. ("EnPro Holdings"), as borrowers, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto, as designated borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities in the initial aggregate principal amount of $1,007.5 million, consisting of a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $142.5 million senior secured term loan facility in replacement of our existing senior secured term loan facility, maturing September 25, 2024 (the “Term Loan A-1 Facility”), a five-year, senior secured term loan facility of $315.0 million (the “Term Loan A-2 Facility”) and a 364-day, senior secured term loan facility of $150.0 million (the “364-Day Facility” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan A-1 Facility and the Term Loan A-2 Facility, the “Facilities”). The Amended Credit Agreement also provides that we may seek incremental term loans and/or additional revolving credit commitments in an amount equal to the greater of $275.0 million and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four-quarter period for which we have reported financial results, plus additional amounts based on a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement became effective on December 17, 2021.
Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% or base rate plus 0.50%. Initially, borrowings under the Facilities (other than the 364-Day Facility) bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or base rate plus 0.75%, although these interest rates were subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio. On November 8, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which replaced the LIBOR-based interest rate option with an option based on Term SOFR ("Secured Overnight Financing Rate") plus (i) a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (ii) 1.75%, again subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.225%, which rate is also subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The Term Loan A-1 Facility amortized on a quarterly basis in an annual amount equal to 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-1 Facility ($150.0 million) in year one after the closing, 5.00% of such original principal amount in year two and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of year three, with the remaining outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The Term Loan A-2 Facility amortizes on a quarterly basis in an annual amount equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 Facility in each of years one through three, 5.0% of such original principal amount in year four and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of year five, with the remaining outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The 364-Day Facility did not amortize and was repaid in full in the third quarter of 2022. The Facilities are subject to prepayment with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty or condemnation events and non-permitted debt issuances.
The Company and EnPro Holdings are the permitted borrowers under the Facilities. The Company may also from time to time designate any of its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries as a borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each of the
8
Company’s domestic subsidiaries (other than any subsidiaries that may be designated as “unrestricted” by the Company from time to time, and inactive subsidiaries) is required to guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Facilities, and each of the Company’s existing domestic subsidiaries (other than inactive subsidiaries) has entered into the Amended Credit Agreement to provide such a guarantee.
Borrowings under the Facilities are secured by a first-priority pledge of certain assets. The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants and required financial ratios including a maximum consolidated total net leverage and a minimum consolidated interest coverage as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2023.
The borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2023 was $390.0 million after giving consideration to $10.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. The balance of our outstanding Term Loan A-1 Facility and Term Loan A-2 Facility at June 30, 2023 was $133.1 million and $303.2 million respectively.
Senior Notes
On October 17, 2018, we completed the offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued to investors at 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Senior Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of EnPro and mature on October 15, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 5.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Senior Notes are required to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of EnPro’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower under, or guarantees, our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility or guarantees any other Capital Markets Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes) of EnPro or any of the guarantors. We may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes includes covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain activities, including incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends and repurchasing shares of our common stock, subject in each case to specified exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture. The indenture further requires us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the event that the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales are not reinvested in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, to the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount. This requirement applies to the net cash proceeds received in the divestitures of GGB and GPT and could require us to make such an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2024 to the extent we do not sufficiently invest in acquisitions, assets, property or capital expenditures or repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness by then.
See Note 16 "Subsequent Event" for a discussion related to a waiver under the Amended Credit Agreement and related prepayment of the Term Loan A-1 Facility on July 26, 2023.

We intend to declare regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock, as determined by our board of directors, after taking into account our current and projected cash flows, earnings, financial position, debt covenants and other relevant factors. In accordance with the board of directors' declaration, total dividend payments of $12.2 million were made during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
In August 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.29 per share, payable on September 13, 2023, to all shareholders of record as of August 30, 2023.
In October 2022, our board of directors authorized the expenditure of up to $50.0 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common shares through October 2024. We have not made any repurchases under this authorization or the prior -year authorization which expired in October 2022.
In 2023, we changed our performance share awards, granted under our equity compensation plan to executives and other key employees, to be paid in shares of our common stock at the end of the three-year vesting period. Awards issued prior to 2023 will be payable in cash at the end of the vesting period based upon the performance of EnPro’s share price relative to an industry peer group. Compensation expense related to performance shares granted in 2023 is computed using the fair value of the awards on the grant date, which is expensed on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. Compensation expense for awards granted prior to 2023 is computed based upon the current estimate of total projected cash to be paid at vesting and the portion of the vesting period that has elapsed.
In February 2023, we issued stock options to certain key executives for 0.1 million common shares with an exercise price of $116.69 per share. The options vest pro-rata on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment. No options have a term greater than 10 years.
We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula as of the grant date. Key inputs into this formula include expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. This fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The expected term represents the period that our stock options are expected to be outstanding, and is determined based on historical experience of similar awards, given the contractual terms of the awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior. The fair value of stock options reflects a volatility factor calculated using historical market data for EnPro's common stock. The time frame used was approximated as a six-year period from the grant date for the awards. The dividend assumption is based on our expectations as of the grant date. We base the risk-free interest rate on the yield to maturity at the time of the stock option grant on zero-coupon U.S. government bonds having a remaining life equal to the option's expected life.
The option awards issued in February 2023 had a fair value of $45.13 per share at their grant date. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the 2023 option awards:
Average expected term | 6 years | ||||
Expected volatility | 39.75 | % | |||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.22 | % | |||
Expected dividend yield | 1.05 | % |
11. Business Segment Information
We aggregate our operating businesses into two reportable segments. The factors considered in determining our reportable segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold, or solutions provided, the production processes and the types of customers and distribution methods. Our reportable segments are managed separately based on these differences.
Our Sealing Technologies segment designs and manufactures value-added products and solutions that safeguard a variety of critical environments, including: metallic, non-metallic and composite material gaskets, dynamic seals, compression packing, resilient metal seals, elastomeric seals, custom-engineered mechanical seals for applications in the aerospace industry and other markets, hydraulic components, expansion joints, sanitary gaskets, hoses and fittings for the hygienic process industries, fluid transfer products for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, and heavy-duty commercial vehicle parts used in wheel-end and suspension components that customers rely upon to ensure safety on our roadways. These products are used in a variety of markets, including chemical and petrochemical processing, nuclear energy, food and biopharmaceutical processing, primary metal manufacturing, mining, water and waste treatment, heavy-duty trucking, aerospace, medical, filtration and
11
semiconductor fabrication. In all of these industries, performance and durability of our proprietary products and solutions are vital for the safety and environmental protection of our customers' processes. Many of our products and solutions are used in highly demanding applications in harsh environments, e.g., where extreme temperatures, extreme pressures, corrosive environments, strict tolerances, and/or worn equipment create challenges for product performance. Sealing Technologies offers customers widely recognized applied engineering, innovation, process know how and enduring reliability, driving aftermarket demand for many of our solutions.
Our Advanced Surface Technologies ("AST") segment applies proprietary technologies, processes, and capabilities to deliver a highly differentiated suite of products and solutions for challenging applications in high growth markets. The segment’s products and solutions are used in highly demanding environments requiring performance, precision and repeatability, with a low tolerance for failure. The segment’s solutions include cleaning, coating, testing, refurbishment and verification for critical components and assemblies used in state-of-the-art advanced node semiconductor manufacturing equipment. AST designs, manufactures and sells specialized optical filters and proprietary thin-film coatings for challenging applications in the industrial technology, life sciences, and semiconductor markets and complex front-end wafer processing sub-systems, new and refurbished electrostatic chuck pedestals, and edge-welded metal bellows for the semiconductor equipment industry and for critical applications in the space, aerospace and defense markets. In many instances, AST capabilities drive solutions that enable the maintenance of our customers’ processes through an entire life cycle.
We measure operating performance based on segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other selected items ("Adjusted Segment EBITDA"), which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Corporate expenses include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains and losses related to the sale of assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for EnPro.
Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with the rollover equity subject to put and call options from the acquisitions of LeanTeq and Alluxa subject to reduction for certain types of employment terminations of the respective sellers. This expense is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and is directly related to the terms of the acquisition. This expense is recognized as compensation expense over the term of the respective put and call options unless certain employment terminations occur. The LeanTeq non-controlling interests were acquired by EnPro in December 2022 and, accordingly, the non-controlling interest compensation for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 is attributable solely to the Alluxa rollover equity.

Backlog
As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of transaction price of remaining performance obligations, or backlog, on a consolidated basis was $270.0 million. Approximately 95% of these obligations are expected to be satisfied within one year. There is no certainty these orders will result in actual sales at the times or in the amounts ordered. In addition, for most of our business, this total is not particularly predictive of future performance because of our short lead times and some seasonality.

Revenue by End Market
Due to the diversified nature of our business and the wide array of products that we offer, we sell into a number of end markets. Underlying economic conditions within these markets are a major driver of our segments' sales performance. Below is a summary of our third-party sales by major end market with which we did business for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

In 2023, we refined the end market classification of certain sales in the Sealing Technologies segment for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022. This refinement resulted in a reduction in sales reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 in the general industrial and other and food and pharmaceutical markets by approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. There was an offsetting increase in the power generation and semiconductor markets of $2.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This refinement resulted in a reduction in sales reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022 in the general industrial and other and food and pharmaceutical markets by approximately $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively with an offsetting increase in the power generation and semiconductor markets of $4.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
12. Derivatives and Hedging
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances on our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We strive to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. We periodically enter into contracts to hedge forecasted transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. As part of our regular practice, we have entered into a forward contract to hedge a 95 million Euro exposure on an intercompany note agreement related to proceeds from the GGB sale allocated to foreign subsidiaries. We expect this intercompany note to be settled by June 30, 2024. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $103.8 million and $103.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively. All other foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2022 expired in January 2023.
The notional amounts of all of our foreign exchange contracts were recorded at their fair market value as of December 31, 2022 with changes in market value recorded in income. The earnings impact of any foreign exchange contract that is specifically related to the purchase of inventory is recorded in cost of sales and the changes in market value of all other contracts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The balances of foreign exchange derivative assets are recorded in other current assets and the balances of foreign exchange derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In May 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements (the "Swap") with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million to manage an increased portion of our foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest payments related to our fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to interest payments on fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 89.6 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%, with interest payment dates of April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Swap matures on October 15, 2026.
During the term of the Swap, we will receive semi-annual payments from the counterparties due to the difference between the interest rate on the Senior Notes and the interest rate on the Euro debt underlying the Swap. There was no principal exchange at the inception of the arrangement, and there will be no exchange at maturity. At maturity (or earlier at our option), we and the counterparty will settle the Swap at its fair value in cash based on the aggregate notional amount and the then-applicable currency exchange rate compared to the exchange rate at the time the Swap was entered into.
We have designated the Swap as a qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for it as a net investment hedge. At June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Swap equaled $5.5 million and was recorded within our other (non-current) assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustment to the Swap, excluding interest accruals

related to the above receipts, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within our cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, as the Swap is effective in hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to the Swap are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, aside from the ultimate settlement at maturity with the counterparty, which will be included in investing activities.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
General
A description of certain environmental and other legal matters relating to certain of our subsidiaries is included in this section. In addition to the matters noted herein, we are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, other litigation and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe the outcome of such other litigation and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Expenses for administrative and legal proceedings are recorded when incurred.
Environmental
Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations of the U.S. and foreign countries. We take a proactive approach in our efforts to comply with these laws and regulations as they relate to our manufacturing operations and in proposing and implementing any remedial plans that may be necessary. We also regularly conduct comprehensive environmental, health and safety audits at our facilities to maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency.
Although we believe past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable regulations, we or one or more of our subsidiaries are involved with various investigation and remediation activities at 18 sites. At 9 of these sites, the future cost per site for us or our subsidiary is expected to exceed $100,000. We do not conduct manufacturing operations at any of these sites. At all 18 sites, one or more of our subsidiaries formerly conducted business operations but no longer do. Among these 18 sites, investigations have been completed for 15 sites and are in progress at 3 sites. Among the 15 sites where investigations have been completed, 7 sites have remediation systems that are operating and our only obligation at the other 8 sites is to conduct periodic monitoring. In addition to the 18 sites referenced above, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has provided us notice that EnPro has potential responsibility at 1 additional site where one of our subsidiaries formerly conducted business operations but no longer does. We have responded to the EPA that we do not have responsibility at that site and are awaiting EPA's response.
Our policy is to accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For sites with multiple future projected cost scenarios for identified feasible investigation and remediation options where no one estimate is more likely than all the others, our policy is to accrue the lowest estimate among the range of estimates. The measurement of the liability is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual situation and takes into consideration factors such as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and prior experience in the remediation of similar contaminated sites. Liabilities are established for all sites based on these factors. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional technical data and legal information. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had recorded liabilities aggregating $40.2 million and $42.1 million, respectively, for estimated future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. The current portion of our aggregate environmental liability included in accrued liabilities was $10.4 million at June 30, 2023. These amounts have been recorded on an undiscounted basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other parties potentially being fully or partially liable, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities.
18
We believe that our accruals for specific environmental liabilities are adequate based on currently available information. Based upon limited information regarding any incremental remediation or other actions that may be required at these sites, we cannot estimate any further loss or a reasonably possible range of loss related to these matters. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures due to unknown and changing conditions, changing government regulations and legal standards regarding liability.
Lower Passaic River Study Area
Based on our prior ownership of Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc. (“Crucible”), we may have additional contingent liabilities in one or more significant environmental matters. One such matter, which is included in the 18 sites referred to above, is the Lower Passaic River Study Area of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in New Jersey. Crucible operated a steel mill abutting the Passaic River in Harrison, New Jersey from the 1930s until 1974, which was one of many industrial operations on the river dating back to the 1800s. Certain contingent environmental liabilities related to this site were retained by a predecessor of EnPro Holdings when it sold a majority interest in Crucible Materials Corporation (the successor of Crucible) in 1985. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) notified our subsidiary in September 2003 that it is a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for Superfund response actions in the lower 17-mile stretch of the Passaic River known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area.
EnPro Holdings and approximately 70 of the numerous other PRPs, known as the Cooperating Parties Group, are parties to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent with the EPA to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) of the contaminants in the Lower Passaic River Study Area. In September 2018, EnPro Holdings withdrew from the Cooperating Parties Group but remains a party to the May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent. The RI/FS was completed and submitted to the EPA at the end of April 2015. The RI/FS recommends a targeted dredge and cap remedy with monitored natural recovery and adaptive management for the Lower Passaic River Study Area. The cost of such remedy is estimated to be $726 million. Previously, on April 11, 2014, the EPA released its Focused Feasibility Study (the “FFS”) with its proposed plan for remediating the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River Study Area. The FFS calls for bank-to-bank dredging and capping of the riverbed of that portion of the river and estimates a range of the present value of aggregate remediation costs of approximately $953 million to approximately $1.73 billion, although estimates of the costs and the timing of costs are inherently imprecise. On March 3, 2016, the EPA issued the final Record of Decision (ROD) as to the remedy for the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River Study Area, with the maximum estimated cost being reduced by the EPA from $1.73 billion to $1.38 billion, primarily due to a reduction in the amount of cubic yards of material that will be dredged. In October 2016, Occidental Chemical Corporation, the successor to the entity that operated the Diamond Alkali chemical manufacturing facility, reached an agreement with the EPA to develop the design for this proposed remedy at an estimated cost of $165 million. The EPA has estimated that it will take approximately four years to develop this design. On June 30, 2018, Occidental Chemical Corporation sued over 120 parties, including the Company, in the United States District Court for New Jersey seeking recovery of response costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA").
No final allocations of responsibility have been made among the numerous PRPs that have received notices from the EPA, there are numerous identified PRPs that have not yet received PRP notices from the EPA, and there are likely many PRPs that have not yet been identified.
On April 14, 2021, the EPA issued its proposed remedy for the upper nine miles of the river, with an estimated present value cost of approximately $441 million. The proposed remedy would involve dredging and capping of the river sediment as an interim remedy followed by a period of monitoring to evaluate the response of the river system to the interim remedy.
When the EPA initiated the allocation process in 2017, it explained that a fair, carefully structured, information-based allocation was necessary to promote settlements. With the completion of the allocation process, in the second quarter of 2021 the EPA began settlement negotiations with the parties that participated in the allocation process, including EnPro. In September 2022, EnPro paid $5.9 million as part of a settlement between those parties and EPA. The payment will be held in escrow until court approval of the settlement. Our reserve for this site at June 30, 2023 was $0.7 million. Further adjustments to our reserve for this site are possible as new or additional information becomes available.
Except with respect to the Lower Passaic River Study Area, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss related to any other contingent environmental liability based on our prior ownership of Crucible. See the section entitled “Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc.” in this footnote for additional information.
Arizona Uranium Mines
EnPro Holdings has received notices from the EPA asserting that it is a potentially responsible party under the CERCLA as the successor to a former operator of eight uranium mines in Arizona. The former operator conducted operations at the mines from 1954 to 1957. In the 1990s, remediation work performed by others at these sites consisted of capping the exposed areas of
19
the mines. We have previously reserved amounts of probable loss associated with these mines, principally including the cost of the investigative work to be conducted at such mines. We entered into an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Interim Removal Action with the EPA effective November 7, 2017 for the performance of this work. We entered into a First Modification of Original Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent effective July 8, 2022 for the performance of Engineering Evaluations and Cost Analyses of potential remedial options at each of the sites. In 2020, the EPA initiated group discussions with EnPro Holdings and other potentially responsible parties to resolve various technical issues, including the development of cleanup standards. Based on these discussions and subsequent discussions with other responsible parties with similar sites, we have concluded that further remedial work beyond maintenance of and minor repairs to the existing caps is probable, and we have evaluated the feasibility of various remediation scenarios. Our reserve at June 30, 2023 for this site was $12.2 million, which reflects the low end of the range of our reasonably likely liability with respect to these sites. We are not able at this time to estimate the upper end of a range of liability with respect to these sites.
On October 18, 2021, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona approved and entered a Consent Decree pursuant to which the U.S government will reimburse the Company for 35% of necessary costs of response, as defined in 42 U.S.C. section 9601(25), previously or to be in the future incurred by the Company which arise out of or in connection with releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at or emanating from the mine sites. We expect future contributions of $3.2 million from the U.S. government towards remediation of the site. This amount was included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023.
In addition to the two sites discussed above, we have additional reserves of $27.4 million, of which $14.1 million pertains to implementing and managing a solution to clean trichloroethylene soil and groundwater contamination at the location of a former operation in Water Valley, Mississippi. These amounts represent a reasonable estimate of our probable future costs to remediate these sites given the facts and circumstances known at June 30, 2023.
Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc.
Crucible, which was engaged primarily in the manufacture and distribution of high technology specialty metal products, was a wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro Holdings until 1983 when its assets and liabilities were distributed to a new subsidiary, Crucible Materials Corporation. EnPro Holdings sold a majority of the outstanding shares of Crucible Materials Corporation in 1985 and divested its remaining minority interest in 2004. Crucible Materials Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2009 and is no longer conducting operations.
We have certain ongoing obligations, which are included in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, including workers’ compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters, in addition to those mentioned previously related to EnPro Holdings' period of ownership of Crucible. Based on EnPro Holdings' prior ownership of Crucible, we may have certain additional contingent liabilities, including liabilities in one or more significant environmental matters included in the matters discussed in “Environmental” above. We are investigating these matters. Except with respect to those matters for which we have an accrued liability as discussed in "Environmental" above, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss related to these contingent liabilities.
Warranties
We provide warranties on many of our products. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product and the market in which the product is sold. We record a liability based upon estimates of the costs we may incur under our warranties after a review of historical warranty experience and information about specific warranty claims. Adjustments are made to the liability as claims data, historical experience, and trends result in changes to our estimate.
Changes in the product warranty liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

16. Subsequent Event
On July 21, 2023, we entered into a waiver agreement under the Amended Credit Agreement that waived the requirement to prepay the Facilities with remaining excess net cash proceeds related to the sale of GGB and GPT that had not been reinvested in operating assets within 365 days from the date of the sale. In conjunction with this waiver, on July 26, 2023, EnPro voluntarily prepaid all outstanding borrowings and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan A-1 Facility (a remaining principal balance of $133.1 million and accrued interest of $0.6 million).
The indenture governing the Senior Notes requires us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the event that the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales are not reinvested in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, to the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount. After taking into account the repayment of borrowings under the Term Loan A-1 Facility noted above and forecasted capital expenditures, approximately $47 million of the excess net cash proceeds related to the sales of GGB and GPT will remain uninvested at January 28, 2024, the date by which excess cash proceeds from such sales must be reinvested in acquisitions or capital expenditures or applied to reduce specified indebtedness to avoid the indenture requirement to make such an offer to repurchase Senior Notes. If we do not effect sufficient reinvestments by that date, we intend to use these excess proceeds to further reduce specified indebtedness to satisfy the requirement under the Senior Notes indenture.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial condition, cash flows and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes. You should read this in conjunction with those financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes statements that reflect projections or expectations of the future financial condition, results of operations and business of EnPro that are subject to risk and uncertainty. We believe those statements to be “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this report, the words “may,” “hope,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” and other expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
We cannot guarantee actual results or events will not differ materially from those projected, estimated, assigned or anticipated in any of the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Important factors that could result in those differences include those specifically noted in the forward-looking statements and those identified in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which include:
•economic conditions in the markets served by our businesses and the businesses of our customers, some of which are cyclical and experience periodic downturns;
•the impact of geopolitical activity on those markets, including instabilities associated with the armed conflict in Ukraine and any conflict or threat of conflict that may affect Taiwan;
•uncertainties with respect to the imposition of government embargoes, tariffs and trade protection measures, such as “anti-dumping” duties applicable to classes of products, and import or export licensing requirements, as well as the imposition of trade sanctions against a class of products imported from or sold and exported to, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status with, countries in which we conduct business, could significantly increase our cost of products or otherwise reduce our sales and harm our business;
•uncertainties with respect to prices and availability of raw materials, including as a result of instabilities from geopolitical conflicts;
•uncertainties with respect to our ability to achieve anticipated growth within the semiconductor, life sciences, and other technology-enabled markets, including uncertainties with respect to receipt of CHIPS Act support;
•the impact of fluctuations in relevant foreign currency exchange rates or unanticipated increases in applicable interest rates;
•unanticipated delays or problems in introducing new products;
21
•the impact of any labor disputes;
•announcements by competitors of new products, services or technological innovations;

•risks related to the reliance of our Advanced Surface Technologies segment on a small number of significant customers;
•uncertainties with respect to our ability to identify and complete business acquisitions consistent with our strategy and to successfully integrate any businesses that we acquire; and
•uncertainties with respect to the amount of any payments required to satisfy contingent liabilities, including those related to discontinued operations, other divested businesses and discontinued operations of our predecessors, including liabilities for certain products, environmental matters, employee benefit and statutory severance obligations and other matters.
We caution investors not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which such statements were made.
Whenever you read or hear any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributed to us or any person acting on our behalf, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In our discussion of our outlook and results of operations, we utilize financial measures that have not been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). They include adjusted net income attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), and total adjusted segment EBITDA. Tables showing the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures are included in "— Results of Operations" and "—Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Comparable GAAP Measures"
We believe non-GAAP metrics are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate our operating performance and, when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate our ongoing operations and performance from period to period. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are some of the factors we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our businesses. We acknowledge that there are many items that impact our reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, the non-GAAP measures we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Discontinued Operations
On January 30, 2023, we closed on the sale of Garlock Pipeline Technologies, Inc. ("GPT"). This business, along with our GGB business which was divested on November 4, 2022, comprised our remaining Engineered Materials segment ("Engineered Materials"). Accordingly, we have recast, for all periods presented, the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of Engineered Materials as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, amounts presented in Management's Discussion and Analysis are for continuing operations only.

Strong sales results in 2023 were driven by organic growth in our Sealing Technologies segment. Growth in the aerospace, power generation (nuclear), and commercial vehicle markets and strategic pricing initiatives more than offset the current slowdown in semiconductor markets during the year.
Our increased income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. (excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment recognized during the second quarter of 2023) and adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior-year period were driven primarily by operating leverage on organic volume growth in the Sealing Technologies segment, selling, general, and administrative cost controls, and pricing initiatives to offset inflationary material costs and rising labor expenses.
We are committed to our strategy to create long-term shareholder value through earnings growth, strong free cash flow generation and a balanced capital allocation approach. We will continue to focus our investments on new products, technology
23
innovation, and productivity and continuous improvement initiatives in both of our segments. In connection with our growth strategy, we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that fit our strategic frameworks in both segments, based on a consistent criteria that includes compelling margins, leading technology, aftermarket/recurring revenue characteristics and high cash flow return on investment in markets that have secular tailwinds.

We measure operating performance based on segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other selected items ("Adjusted Segment EBITDA" or "Segment AEBITDA"), which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Corporate expenses include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains and losses related to the
24
sale of assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for EnPro.
Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with the rollover equity subject to put and call options from the acquisitions of LeanTeq and Alluxa that was and is subject to reduction for certain types of employment terminations of the respective sellers. This expense is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and is directly related to the terms of the acquisitions. This expense is recognized as compensation expense over the term of the respective put and call options unless certain employment terminations occur. The LeanTeq non-controlling interests were acquired by EnPro in December 2022 and, accordingly, the non-controlling interest compensation for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 is attributable solely to the Alluxa rollover equity.
Other expense (income), net in the table above contains all items included in other (operating) expense and other income (expense) (non-operating) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 with the exception of $0.2 million, $0.9 million, $1.0 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, of restructuring costs. As noted previously, restructuring costs are excluded from Adjusted Segment EBITDA. Additionally, other income (expense), net in the table above for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 includes $0.5 million, $(0.9) million, $0.9 million, and $(2.1) million, respectively, of miscellaneous expenses (income) that are either not associated with a particular segment or not considered part of administering the corporate functions. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Second Quarter of 2023 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2022
Sales of $276.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 0.1% from $277.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The following table summarizes the impact of a divestiture and foreign currency on sales by segment:

Following is a discussion of operating results for each segment for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022:
Sealing Technologies. Sales of $176.7 in the second quarter of 2023 reflect a 13.3% increase compared to the $155.9 million reported in the same period of 2022. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange translation ($0.5 million) on our sales in the second quarter of 2023 and the sales in the second quarter of 2022 by the business divested in the fourth quarter of 2022 ($1.2 million), sales were up 13.9% or $21.5 million. The increase in sales was driven by strong demand in the aerospace, power generation (nuclear), and commercial vehicle, along with the positive impact of strategic pricing initiatives.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $56.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 increased 27.4% from $44.1 million reported in the second quarter of 2022. Segment AEBITDA margins for the segment increased from 28.3% in the second quarter of 2022 to 31.8% in the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange translation($0.2 million) and the Segment AEBITDA of the business sold in the fourth quarter of 2022 ($0.6 million) from 2022 results, Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 28.7%, or $12.5 million, to $56.0 million. The increase in Segment AEBITDA was primarily driven by higher pricing ($13.0 million) and favorable volume net of mix ($4.0 million), partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative costs ($1.7 million) and higher material, labor, and overhead costs ($2.6 million).
Advanced Surface Technologies. Sales of $100.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 reflect a 17.4% decrease compared to the $121.5 million reported in the same period of 2022. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation ($0.6 million) from the result of the second quarter of 2023, sales were down 17.0%, or $20.6 million. This decrease was driven primarily by the current slowdown in semiconductor capital equipment spending.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 36.2% from $37.8 million reported in the comparable period of 2022. Segment AEBITDA margins for the segment decreased from 31.1% in the second quarter of
25
2022 to 24.0% in the second quarter 2023. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation $0.2 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $13.5 million, or 35.7%, to $24.3 million. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily driven by lower volume and an unfavorable change in mix ($15.1 million), higher labor and overhead costs ($1.3 million) and increased talent acquisition costs to support anticipated growth ($0.9 million), partially offset by higher pricing ($3.8 million).
Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 2023 increased $5.6 million as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in incentive compensation expense resulting from strong share price performance during the quarter ended June 2023 ($7.0 million), offset partially by decreased professional and medical expenses ($0.9 million) and lower information technology related costs ($0.2 million).
Interest expense, net in the second quarter of 2023 increased by $0.9 million from the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates on variable debt and interest credits earned on the $200 million notional swap until settlement in September of 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in interest income resulting from significantly higher interest rates on higher cash and short-term investment balances.
Other expense (income), net in the second quarter of 2023 decreased by $0.6 million as compared to other income reported in the same period of 2022, primarily due to an asbestos receivable write-down in the prior year quarter ($2.8 million), decreased costs related to previously disposed of businesses ($0.3 million), lower bank related costs ($0.2 million) and a decrease in warranty costs related to a disposed product line ($0.7 million), partially offset by increased pension expense from non-service costs ($1.0 million) and decreased year-over-year foreign exchange gains ($2.4 million).
The effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were a benefit of 20.0% and an expense of 22.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily driven by impairment of non-deductible tax goodwill and higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily the result of a legal entity conversion in Taiwan, an intercompany sale of assets and favorable foreign currency effects on dividends, partially offset by higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions.
Income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. was $(18.6) million, or $(0.89) per share, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to income of $26.1 million, or $1.25 per share, in the second quarter of 2022. Earnings per share is expressed on a diluted basis.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Sales of $559.5 million in the first six months of 2023 increased 2.2% from $547.2 million in the first six months of 2022. The following table summarizes the impact of a divestiture and foreign currency on sales by segment:

Following is a discussion of operating results for each segment for the first six months of 2023 as compared to the first six months of 2022:
Sealing Technologies. Sales of $350.0 million in the first six months of 2023 reflect a 13.1% increase compared to the $309.5 million reported in the same period of 2022. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation ($1.7 million) on our sales in the first six months of 2023 and the sales in the first six months of 2022 by the business divested in the fourth quarter of 2022 ($2.3 million), sales were up 14.5% or $44.5 million. The increase in sales was driven by strong demand in the aerospace, power generation (nuclear), and commercial vehicle markets, along with the positive impact of strategic pricing initiatives.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $105.9 million in the first six months of 2023 increased 35.1% from $78.4 million reported in the first six months of 2022. Segment AEBITDA margins for the segment increased from 25.3% in the first six months of 2022 to 30.3% in the first six months of 2023. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation ($0.4 million) and the Segment AEBITDA of the business sold in the fourth quarter of 2022 ($1.1 million) from 2022 results, Adjusted
26
Segment EBITDA increased 37.5%, or $29.0 million, to $106.3 million. The increase in Segment AEBITDA was primarily driven by higher pricing ($25.2 million) and favorable volume net of mix ($10.9 million), partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative costs ($1.4 million) and higher material, labor, and overhead costs ($5.7 million).
Advanced Surface Technologies. Sales of $209.7 million in the first six months of 2023 reflect a 12.1% decrease compared to the $238.2 million reported in the same period of 2022. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation ($1.8 million) from the results of the first six months of 2023, sales were down 11.3%, or $26.7 million. This decrease was driven primarily by the current slowdown in semiconductor capital equipment spending.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $53.6 million in the first six months of 2023 decreased 26.3% from $72.7 million reported in the comparable period of 2022. Segment AEBITDA margins for the segment decreased from 30.5% in the first six months of 2022 to 25.6% in the first six months of 2023. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $18.1 million, or 24.9%, to $54.6 million. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily driven by lower volume and an unfavorable change in mix ($19.7 million), increased talent acquisition costs to support anticipated growth ($2.1 million) and higher material, labor, and overhead costs ($3.6 million), partially offset by higher pricing ($7.3 million).
Corporate expenses for the first six months of 2023 increased $3.4 million as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was driven primarily by higher incentive compensation expense due to the strong share price performance for the six months ended June 2023 ($5.9 million), partially offset by lower professional and consulting expenses ($1.4 million) and lower restructuring and acquisition related costs ($1.3 million).
Interest expense, net in the first six months of 2023 increased by $1.9 million from the first six months of 2022 primarily due to increased interest rates on variable rate debt and interest credits earned on the $200 million notional swap until settlement in September of 2022. This was partially offset by an increase in interest income resulting from significantly higher interest rates earned on higher cash and short term investment balances.
Other expense (income), net in the first six months of 2023 increased by $3.4 million as compared to other income reported in the same period of 2022, primarily due to increased foreign exchange losses ($4.5 million), increased pension expense from non-service costs ($2.1 million), foreign exchange losses related to an intercompany note denominated in Euros ($0.9 million), and increased environmental costs ($0.4 million), partially offset by an asbestos receivable write-down in the prior-year period ($2.8 million), decreased bank related costs ($0.4 million), decreased costs related to previously disposed of businesses ($0.2 million) and a decrease in warranty costs related to a disposed product line ($0.8 million).
The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 43.0% and 22.0%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily driven by impairment of non-deductible tax goodwill and higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions partially offset by the release of a valuation allowance on certain foreign net operating losses and a tax benefit related to share-based payment awards. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily the result of a legal entity conversion in Taiwan, an intercompany sale of assets and favorable foreign currency effects on dividends, partially offset by higher tax rates in most foreign jurisdictions.
Income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. was $7.4 million, or $0.35 per share, in the first six months of 2023 compared to $38.0 million, or $1.82 per share, in the first six months of 2022. Earnings per share is expressed on a diluted basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for, but not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and debt repayments have been funded from cash balances on hand, revolver borrowings and cash generated from operations. We are proactively pursuing acquisition opportunities. Should we need additional capital, we have resources available, which are discussed in this section under the heading “Capital Resources.”
As of June 30, 2023, we held $222.5 million of cash and cash equivalents in the United States, $152.4 million of cash outside of the United States, and $35.0 million in short-term interest bearing investments which mature in July 2023. If the funds held outside the United States were needed for our operations in the U.S., we have several methods to repatriate without significant tax effects, including repayment of intercompany loans, distributions subject to a 100 percent dividends-received deduction for income tax purposes, or distributions of previously-taxed earnings.
27
Because of the transition tax, GILTI, and Subpart F provisions, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries totaling $225.1 million at December 31, 2021 have been subjected to U.S. income tax or are eligible for the 100 percent dividends-received deduction under Section 245A of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Additional undistributed earnings are estimated to be $77.3 million as of June 30, 2023. Whether through the application of the 100 percent dividends received deduction, or distribution of these previously-taxed earnings, we do not intend to distribute foreign earnings that will be subject to any significant incremental U.S. or foreign tax. During the first six months of 2023 we repatriated $29.5 million which was utilized to paydown our U.S.-based indebtedness and reduce our interest expense. We have targeted the repatriation of an additional $50.0 million by December 31, 2023 for further unscheduled paydowns of our indebtedness. We have determined that estimating any tax liability on our investment in foreign subsidiaries is not practicable. Therefore, we have not recorded any deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
Cash Flows
Operating activities of continuing operations provided $78.5 million of cash in the first six months of 2023 and $63.0 million of cash in the first six months of 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increased profitability and less cash taxes paid in 2023, partially offset by higher interest payments due to higher rates and less cash interest credits received from our net investment hedges.
Investing activities of continuing operations used $21.6 million of cash in the first six months of 2023 compared to $3.6 million of cash used during the first six months of 2022. This increase is driven by the investment of $35.8 million in short-term interest bearing investments which do not qualify as cash equivalents and higher investments in capital expenditures, partially offset by $25.3 million higher net cash proceeds received from the sale of businesses.
Financing activities of continuing operations used $21.9 million of cash in the first six months of 2023, primarily from $7.9 million in net repayments of debt and $12.2 million used for dividends paid. Financing activities in the first six months of 2022 used $154.4 million, primarily from $11.7 million used for dividends paid and $135.9 million in net repayments of debt.
Capital Resources
Senior Secured Credit Facilities. On December 17, 2021, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) among the Company and EnPro Holdings, as borrowers, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto, as designated borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities in the initial aggregate principal amount of $1,007.5 million, consisting of a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $142.5 million senior secured term loan facility in replacement of the our existing senior secured term loan facility, maturing September 25, 2024 (the “Term Loan A-1 Facility”), a five-year, senior secured term loan facility of $315.0 million (the “Term Loan A-2 Facility”) and a 364-day, senior secured term loan facility of $150.0 million (the “364-Day Facility” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan A-1 Facility and the Term Loan A-2 Facility, the “Facilities”). The Amended Credit Agreement also provides that we may seek incremental term loans and/or additional revolving credit commitments in an amount equal to the greater of $275.0 million and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four-quarter period for which we have reported financial results, plus additional amounts based on a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement became effective on December 17, 2021.
Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% or base rate plus 0.50%. Initially, borrowings under the Facilities (other than the 364-Day Facility) bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or base rate plus 0.75%, although these interest rates were subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio. On November 8, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which replaced the LIBOR-based interest rate option with an option based on Term SOFR ("Secured Overnight Financing Rate") plus (i) a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (ii) 1.75%, again subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.225%, which rate is also subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The Term Loan A-1 Facility amortized on a quarterly basis in an annual amount equal to 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-1 Facility ($150.0 million) in year one after the closing, 5.00% of such original principal amount in year two and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of year three, with the remaining outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The Term Loan A-2 Facility amortizes on a quarterly basis in an annual amount equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 Facility in each of years one through three, 5.0%
28
of such original principal amount in year four and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of year five, with the remaining outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The Facilities are subject to prepayment with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales not reinvested in acquisitions within a specified period, casualty or condemnation events, and non-permitted debt issuances. There is no prepayment penalty for a full or partial repayment of the Facilities at any time.
The Company and EnPro Holdings are the permitted borrowers under the Facilities. The Company may also from time to time designate any of its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries as a borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (other than any subsidiaries that may be designated as “unrestricted” by the Company from time to time, and inactive subsidiaries) is required to guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Facilities, and each of the Company’s existing domestic subsidiaries (other than inactive subsidiaries) has entered into the Amended Credit Agreement to provide such a guarantee.
Borrowings under the Facilities are secured by a first-priority pledge of the following assets:
•100% of the capital stock of each domestic subsidiary of the Company (other than unrestricted or inactive subsidiaries);
•65% of the capital stock of any first tier foreign subsidiary of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than unrestricted or inactive subsidiaries); and
•substantially all of the assets (including, without limitation, machinery and equipment, inventory and other goods, accounts receivable, bank accounts, general intangibles, financial assets, investment property, license rights, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, chattel paper, insurance proceeds, contract rights, hedge agreements, documents, instruments, indemnification rights, tax refunds and cash, but excluding real estate interests) of the Company and its domestic, consolidated subsidiaries (other than unrestricted or inactive subsidiaries)
The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants and required financial ratios, including:
•a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of not more than 4.75 to 1.0 (with total debt, for the purposes of such ratio, to be net of up to $150 million of unrestricted cash of EnPro Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries), which ratio will decrease to 4.5 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and to 4.0 to 1.0 for each quarter thereafter; and, once so decrease, may be increased (up to three times) at the borrowers' option to not more than 4.5 to 1.0 for the for-quarter period following a significant acquisition; and
•a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 2.5 to 1.0.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to customary exceptions and qualifications), including covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:
•grant liens on our assets;
•incur additional indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent obligations);
•make certain investments (including loans and advances);
•merge or make other fundamental changes;
•sell or otherwise dispose of property or assets;
•pay dividends and other distributions and prepay certain indebtedness;
•make changes in the nature of our business;
•enter into transactions with our affiliates;
•enter into burdensome contracts; and
•modify or terminate documents related to certain indebtedness.
We were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2023.
The borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2023 was $390.0 million after giving consideration to $10.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. The balance of our outstanding Term Loan A-1 Facility and Term Loan A-2 Facility at June 30, 2023 was $133.1 million and $303.2 million, respectively.
On July 21, 2023, we entered into a waiver agreement under Amended Credit Agreement that waived the requirement to prepay the Facilities with remaining excess net cash proceeds related to the sale of GGB and GPT that had not been reinvested in operating assets within 365 days from the date of the sale. In conjunction with this waiver, on July 26, 2023, EnPro voluntarily prepaid all outstanding borrowings and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan A-1 Facility (a remaining principal balance of $133.1 million and accrued interest of $0.6 million).

Senior Notes. In October 2018, we completed the offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes").
The Senior Notes were issued to investors at 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Senior Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of EnPro and mature on October 15, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 5.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2019. The Senior Notes are required to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of EnPro’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower under, or guarantees, our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility or guarantees any other Capital Markets Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes) of EnPro or any of the guarantors. We may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Each holder of the Senior Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of the Senior Notes held by such holder for cash upon the occurrence of a defined “change of control” event. Our ability to redeem the Senior Notes prior to maturity is subject to certain conditions, including in certain cases the payment of make-whole amounts.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes includes covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain activities, including incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends and repurchasing shares of our common stock, subject in each case to specified exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture.The indenture further requires us to apply the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales not reinvested in acquisitions, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, in the event of the net proceeds exceeding a specified amount, to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. This requirement applies to the net cash proceeds received in the divestitures of GGB and GPT and could require us to make such an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2024 to the extent we do not sufficiently invest in acquisitions, assets, property or capital expenditures or repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness by then.
At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes requires us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the event that the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales are not reinvested in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, to the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount. After taking into account the repayment of borrowings under the Term Loan A-1 Facility and planned capital expenditures, approximately $47 million of the excess net cash proceeds related to the sales of GGB and GPT would remain on January 28, 2024, the date by which excess cash proceeds from such sales must be reinvested in acquisitions or capital expenditures or applied to reduce specified indebtedness to avoid the indenture requirement to make such an offer to repurchase Senior Notes. If we do not effect sufficient reinvestments by that date, we intend to use these excess proceeds to further reduce specified indebtedness to satisfy the requirement under the Senior Notes indenture.
Share Repurchase Program. In October 2022, our board of directors authorized the expenditure of up to $50.0 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common shares through October 2024. We have not made any repurchases under this authorization or the prior two-year $50.0 million authorization which expired in October 2022.

Contingencies
A description of our contingencies is included in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
On October 17, 2018, we completed the offering of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated, joint and several basis by our wholly owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, that are each guarantors of our Revolving Credit Facility, including subsidiaries that were wholly owned at the time they provided the guarantee but thereafter became majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor
30
Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries at June 30, 2023 comprise all of our consolidated domestic subsidiaries at that date. Our subsidiaries organized outside of the United States (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee the Senior Notes.
The Guarantor Subsidiaries jointly and severally guarantee on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity of the Senior Notes, by acceleration or otherwise, all of our obligations under the Senior Notes and the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”), whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries are referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have jointly and severally agreed to pay, in addition to the obligations stated above, any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Indenture in enforcing any rights under their guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary is limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by it without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary is a continuing guarantee and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the holders of the Senior Notes and their successors, transferees and assigns and, subject to the provisions described in the following sentence, remains in full force and effect until payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor Subsidiary and is binding upon such Guarantor Subsidiary and its successors. A guarantee of the Senior Notes by a Guarantor Subsidiary is subject to release in the following circumstances: (i) the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of the capital stock of the subsidiary made in a manner not in violation of the Indenture; (ii) the designation of the subsidiary as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture; (iii) the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or (iv) the subsidiary ceasing to be our subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing our Revolving Credit Facility or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof.
The following tables present summarized financial information for EnPro Industries, Inc. (the "Parent") and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis after intercompany eliminations.
The summarized results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows:

Of the $11.4 million reported in income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, $11.2 million related to gain on the sale of discontinued operations recognized by a subsidiary that is guarantor of the Senior Notes and the remaining $0.2 million related to the operations of former subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes included in discontinued operations. All discontinued operations were divested by March 31, 2023 and are no longer guarantors of the Senior Notes.

The table above reflects $11.7 million of current intercompany receivables due to the Guarantor Subsidiaries from the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and $9.3 million of current intercompany payables due to the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries from the Guarantor Subsidiaries within current assets and liabilities held and used.
The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Senior Notes or the Indenture, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that the Company or the Guarantor Subsidiaries have to receive any assets of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, and the consequent rights of holders of Senior Notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary’s assets, would be effectively subordinated to the claims of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests, if any, of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests, if any, and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiaries.
If a Guarantor Subsidiary were to become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, under federal or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, a court may avoid, subordinate or otherwise decline to enforce its guarantee of the Senior Notes. A court might do so if it is found that when such Guarantor Subsidiary entered into its guarantee of the Senior Notes, or in some states when payments became due under the Senior Notes, such Guarantor Subsidiary received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:
•was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
•was left with unreasonably small or otherwise inadequate capital to conduct our business; or
•believed or reasonably should have believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay.
The court might also avoid the guarantee of the Senior Notes without regard to the above factors, if the court found that the Guarantor Subsidiary entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud our creditors.
A court would likely find that a Guarantor Subsidiary did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee of the Senior Notes, if such Guarantor Subsidiary did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the funding made available by the issuance of the Senior Notes. If a court were to avoid a guarantee of the Senior Notes provided by a Guarantor Subsidiary, holders of the Senior Notes would no longer have any claim against such Guarantor Subsidiary. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer or conveyance has occurred, such that we cannot predict what standards a court would use to determine whether or not a Guarantor Subsidiary was solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary would not be subordinated to such Guarantor Subsidiary’s other debt. As noted above, each guarantee provided by a Guarantor Subsidiary includes a provision intended to
33
limit the Guarantor Subsidiary’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. This provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being avoided under fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, or it may reduce that Guarantor Subsidiary’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless, and we cannot predict whether a court will ultimately find it to be effective.
On the basis of historical financial information, operating history and other factors, we believe that each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, after giving effect to the issuance of its guarantee of the Senior Notes when such guarantee was issued, was not insolvent, did not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it engaged and did not and has not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Comparable GAAP Measures
We believe that it would be helpful to the readers of the financial statements to understand the impact of certain selected items on our reported income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. continuing operations, including items that may recur from time to time. The items adjusted for in these non-GAAP financial measures are those that are excluded by management in budgeting or projecting for performance in future periods, as they typically relate to events specific to the period in which they occur. Accordingly, these are some of the factors the company uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of its businesses. In addition, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance and, when read in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate the company’s ongoing operations and performance from period to period. Management acknowledges that there are many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The following presents a reconciliation of (i) income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., net of tax to adjusted net income attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. and adjusted diluted earnings per share and (ii) income from continuing operations attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc., net of tax to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The adjustments in the table below relate solely to expenses attributable to EnPro Industries, Inc. and have been adjusted to remove any amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. We intend to use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative investment purposes. For information about our interest rate risk, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances on our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We strive to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. We periodically enter into contracts to hedge forecasted transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. We regularly enter into a forward contract to hedge a 95 million Euro exposure on an intercompany note agreement related to proceeds from the GGB sale allocated to foreign subsidiaries. We expect this intercompany note to be settled during 2023. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $103.8 million and $103.3 million June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively. All other foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2022 expired in January 2023.
The notional amounts of all of our foreign exchange contracts were recorded at their fair market value as of December 31, 2022 with changes in market value recorded in income. The earnings impact of any foreign exchange contract that is specifically related to the purchase of inventory is recorded in cost of sales and the changes in market value of all other contracts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The balances of foreign exchange derivative assets are recorded in other current assets and the balances of foreign exchange derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In May 2019, we entered into additional cross-currency swap agreements with a notional amount of $100.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest payments related to our fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to interest payments on fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 89.6 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5% , with interest payment dates of April 15 and October 15 of each year. The swap agreement matures on October 15, 2026.
During the term of the additional swap agreement, we will receive semi-annual payments from the counterparties due to the difference between the interest rate on the Senior Notes and the interest rate on the Euro debt underlying the additional swap agreements. There was no principal exchange at the inception of the arrangements, and there will be no exchange at maturity. At maturity (or earlier at our option), we and the counterparties will settle the additional swap agreements at their fair value in cash based on the aggregate notional amount and the then-applicable currency exchange rate compared to the exchange rate at the time the additional swap agreements were entered into.
Commodity Risk
We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials such as steel, engineered plastics, copper and polymers, are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We strive to pass along such commodity price increases to customers to avoid profit margin erosion and utilize lean initiatives to further mitigate the impact of commodity raw material price fluctuations as we achieve improved efficiencies. We do not hedge commodity risk with any market risk sensitive instruments.
38
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). The purpose of our disclosure controls and procedures is to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, including this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Based on the controls evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that management will be timely alerted to material information required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
A description of environmental and other legal matters is included in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition to the matters noted and discussed in those sections of this report, we are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, other litigation and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the outcome of such other litigation and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The following table sets forth all purchases made by or on behalf of the Company or any “affiliated purchaser,” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, of shares of our common stock during each month in the second quarter of 2023.

(1)In October 2022, our board of directors authorized an expenditure program of up to $50.0 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common shares through October 2024. We have not made any repurchases under this authorization.
(2)In June 2023, a total of 238 shares were transferred to a rabbi trust that we established in connection with our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to which non-employee directors may elect to defer directors’ fees into common stock units. EnPro Holdings furnished these shares in exchange for management and other services provided by EnPro. Of these shares, 69 shares were valued at a price of $125.72 per share, the closing trading price of our common stock on June 14, 2023, and 169 of these shares were valued at a price of $133.53 per share, the closing trading price of our common stock on June 30, 2023. In connection with the exercise of a vested employee stock option on June 16, 2023, we accepted 780 shares of outstanding common stock in payment of the option exercise price, which surrendered shares were valued at $128.29, the closing trading price of our common stock on that date. Accordingly, the total 1,018 shares were valued at a weighted average price of $128.99. We do not consider the transfer of shares from EnPro Holdings in this context or our receipt of outstanding shares as payments of the exercise price of a vested employee stock option to be pursuant to a publicly announced plan or program.
Item 5. Other Information.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
