Note 1: Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Ingevity Corporation ("Ingevity," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a leading global manufacturer of specialty chemicals and high performance activated carbon materials. We provide innovative solutions to meet our customers’ unique and demanding requirements through proprietary formulated products. We report in two business segments, Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals.

Our Performance Materials segment consists of our automotive technologies and process purification product lines. Performance Materials manufactures products in the form of powder, granular, extruded pellets, extruded honeycombs, and activated carbon sheets. Automotive technologies products are sold into gasoline vapor emission control applications within the automotive industry, while process purification products are sold into the food, water, beverage, and chemical purification industries.

Our Performance Chemicals segment consists of our pavement technologies, oilfield technologies, industrial specialties, and engineered polymers product lines. Performance Chemicals manufactures products derived from crude tall oil ("CTO") and lignin extracted from the kraft paper making process as well as caprolactone monomers and derivatives derived from cyclohexanone and hydrogen peroxide. Performance Chemicals products serve as critical inputs used in a variety of high performance applications, including pavement preservation, pavement adhesion promotion, and warm mix paving (pavement technologies product line), oil well service additives, oil production, and downstream application chemicals (oilfield technologies product line), printing inks, adhesives, agrochemicals, lubricants, and industrial intermediates (industrial specialties product line), coatings, resins, elastomers, adhesives, and bio-plastics (engineered polymers product line).

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, collectively referred to as the “Annual Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report").

In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and subsequent to this date, there have been significant changes to the global economic situation and to public securities markets as a consequence of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. It is reasonably possible that this could cause changes to estimates as a result of the financial circumstances of the markets in which we operate, the price of our publicly traded equity in comparison to the carrying value, and the health of the global economy. Such changes to estimates could potentially result in impacts that would be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. While there was not a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, our future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

Note 2: Coronavirus Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. COVID-19 has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to our supply chain, operations, and customer demand. We have been classified as an essential business in the jurisdictions that have made this determination to date, allowing us to continue operations. However, our facilities - as well as the operations of our suppliers, customers, third-party sales representatives, and distributors - have been, and will continue to be, disrupted by governmental and private sector responses to COVID-19. This includes business shutdowns, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols, travel or health-related restrictions, as well as quarantines, self-isolations, and disruptions to transportation channels.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which includes modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions, and provides a payment delay of employer payroll taxes during 2020 after the date of enactment. We estimate the payment of approximately $5.3 million of employer payroll taxes otherwise due in 2020 will be delayed with 50 percent due by December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50 percent by December 31, 2022. The CARES Act is not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In order to strengthen our short term liquidity and to ensure financial flexibility, in March 2020, we drew down $250 million from our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure and also suspended our share repurchase program. We also implemented work-from-home policies and protocols for the majority of our global salaried workforce, as well as social distancing practices to ensure the safety of our employees at our manufacturing facilities. Further, in April 2020, we decreased production at some of our U.S. based Performance Materials' manufacturing plants, due to COVID-19 impacts to the projected demand of our U.S. based automotive customers.

As of March 31, 2020, we evaluated, in accordance with ASC 350 - Goodwill and Other and ASC 360 - Property, Plant, and Equipment, whether the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic constitute triggering events requiring impairment or recoverability analysis to be performed. We considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on each of the reporting units and asset groups. Further, we assessed the current market capitalization, forecasts and the amount of headroom in the 2019 impairment test. We determined that a triggering event has not occurred which would require an interim impairment test to be performed.However, a lack of recovery or further deterioration in market conditions related to the general economy and the industries in which we operate, a sustained trend of weaker than anticipated financial performance, a lack of recovery or further decline in our share price for a sustained period of time, or an increase in the market-based weighted average cost of capital, among other factors, could significantly impact the impairment analysis and may result in future impairment charges that, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

While the disruptions caused by the pandemic are currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty regarding the virus's duration. COVID-19 has impacted, and will continue to impact, our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

Note 3: New Accounting Guidance

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to communicate changes to the Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract." This ASU requires companies to defer specific implementation costs incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ("CCA") that are often expensed as incurred under current GAAP, and recognize the expense over the noncancellable term of the CCA. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020. As a result of the adoption, we anticipate capitalizing certain implementation costs that were previously expensed as incurred, which will be recorded to either prepaid

(Unaudited)

and other current assets or other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, depending on the duration of the agreement. The impact of the adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." In 2019 and 2020, the FASB issued several ASUs to amend and clarify the credit loss guidance in the original ASU 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13 and its amendments are herein referred to as “ASC 326” or "CECL"). ASC 326 amends FASB's guidance on the impairment of financial instruments, specifically adding an impairment model to GAAP that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of such losses. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. We have updated our internal controls and operational processes and procedures, to include certain forward-looking considerations in our current process of developing and recognizing credit losses for our accounts receivable and restricted investment accounted for at amortized cost. Generally, the adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. ASC 326 had an immaterial impact to our allowance for credit losses reported in accounts receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheet upon adoption. Additionally, upon adoption of ASC 326, we estimated an allowance for credit losses for our restricted investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our restricted investment, which is accounted for as a held-to-maturity investment, consists of highly rated corporate long-term bonds that mature in 2025 and 2026. To calculate our expected credit loss allowance, we utilized a probability-of-default method (“PDM”) for each bond based on each securities term. This process uses historical credit loss experience on similar product types, adjusted for reasonable and supportable forecasts of future default rates. Using a PDM, we calculated an expected credit loss allowance at January 1, 2020 of $0.6 million, which was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The following table displays changes in our allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020, including the transition impact of adopting the CECL standard.


(in millions)	Balance at December 31, 2019 ⁽¹⁾		Impact from Adoption of ASC 326	Balance at January 1, 2020	Current Period Provision	Balance at March 31, 2020 ⁽²⁾
Allowance for credit losses	$	0.5	0.6	1.1	0.3	$	1.4

______________

(1) The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2019 of $0.5 million was included in "Accounts receivable, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2020 of $0.5 million and $0.9 million was included "Accounts receivable, net" and "Restricted investment" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

Our expected credit losses can vary from period to period based on several factors, such as changes in bond ratings, actual observed bond defaults, and overall economic environment. The primary factor that contributed to our provision for expected credit losses in the first quarter of 2020 was a pessimistic outlook of the macroeconomic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and related effects on the financial performance of U.S.-based corporations. The increase in the allowance for credit losses of $0.3 million is attributed to Level 1 securities expected credit loss. There was no material change in the accounts receivable expected credit loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 "Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." This ASU amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The new standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Although we are still evaluating the impact of this new standard, we do not believe that the adoption will materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This ASU amends ASC 740 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to income taxes. The new standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Although we are still evaluating the impact of this

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

new standard, we do not believe that the adoption of this new standard will materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance became effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and we may elect to apply the amendments prospectively until December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Note 4: Acquisitions

Perstorp Holding AB's Caprolactone Business

On February 13, 2019, we completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the equity of Perstorp UK Ltd with Perstorp Holding AB ("Seller"), including the Seller's entire caprolactone business ("Caprolactone Business"), herein referred to as the "Caprolactone Acquisition." The Caprolactone Acquisition was completed for an aggregate purchase price of €578.9 million ($652.5 million), less assumed debt of €100.4 million ($113.1 million). At closing, the assumed debt was settled with an affiliate of the Seller. The Caprolactone Acquisition has been integrated into our Performance Chemicals segment and included within our engineered polymers product line.

The Caprolactone Acquisition contributed Net sales of $36.3 million and $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to the consolidated operating results of Ingevity. A substantial portion of the Caprolactone Business was integrated into our existing Performance Chemicals operations during 2019. As a result, we were no longer able to separate operating performance of the Caprolactone Acquisition from our existing Performance Chemicals' operating results.

Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the Caprolactone Business and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which was finalized in Q4 2019:

(1) Fair value of finished goods inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of approximately $8.4 million, all of which was expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The expense is included in "Cost of sales" on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Inventories are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis of accounting.

(2) The aggregate amortization expense was $4.8 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Estimated amortization expense is as follows: 2020 - $19.6 million, 2021 - $19.6 million, 2022 - $19.5 million, 2023 - $19.5 million, and 2024 - $19.5 million. The estimated pre-tax amortization expense may fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency.

(3) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, at closing. Restricted cash is included in "Prepaid and other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 6: Fair Value Measurements

Fair-Value Measurements

We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair-value hierarchy. The fair-value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement of the instrument. The carrying value of our financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other payables and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Recurring Fair-Value Measurements

The following information is presented for assets and liabilities that are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value measured on a recurring basis. There were no transfers of assets and liabilities that were recorded at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods reported. There were no non-recurring fair value measurements in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Equity Securities

Our investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value totaled $0.1 million and $0.4 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The net realized gain/(loss) recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $(0.1) million and zero, respectively. The unrealized gain/(loss) was zero for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The aggregate carrying value of investments in equity securities where fair value is not readily determinable totaled $0.2 million and $1.5 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million to an equity security where fair value is not readily determinable held within our Performance Materials segment. The charge was based on recently updated expected future cash flow projections for the investment.

Restricted Investment

At March 31, 2020, the book value of our restricted investment, which is accounted for as held to maturity ("HTM") and therefore held at amortized costs, was $72.2 million, which includes an allowance for credit losses of $0.9 million and cash of $0.8 million, and the fair value was $75.4 million, based on Level 1 inputs.

The following table shows the total amortized cost of our HTM debt securities by credit rating. The primary factor in our expected credit loss calculation is the composite bond rating. As the rating decreases, the risk present in holding the bond is inherently increased, leading to an increase in expected credit losses.

Level 1 Securities	$	13.5	10.7	24.2	13.4	10.5	$	72.3

Debt Obligations

At March 31, 2020, the book value of finance lease obligations was $80.0 million and the fair value was $100.1 million. The fair value of our finance lease obligations is based on the period-end quoted market prices for the obligations, using Level 2 inputs.

The carrying amount, excluding debt issuance fees, of our variable interest rate long-term debt was $1,115.9 million as of March 31, 2020. The carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the outstanding debt based on the variable interest rate of the debt.

At March 31, 2020, the book value of our fixed rate debt was $300.0 million, and the fair value was $282.8 million, based on Level 2 inputs.

The estimated pre-tax amortization expense may fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency.

Note 10: Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Net Investment Hedges

Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, we have entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $166.2 million and a maturity date of July 2023. We designated the swaps to hedge a portion of our net investment in a euro functional currency denominated subsidiary against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts involve the exchange of fixed U.S. dollars with fixed euro interest payments periodically over the life of the contract and an exchange of the notional amount at maturity. This effectively converts a portion of our U.S. dollar denominated fixed-rate debt from a weighted average rate of 3.79 percent to a euro denominated weighted average fixed-rate debt at a rate of 1.35 percent. Any difference between the fixed interest rate between the U.S. dollar denominated debt to euro denominated debt is recorded as interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the fixed-to-fixed cross currency interest rate swap was an asset (liability) of $10.4 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the three months ending March 31, 2020, we recognized net interest income associated with this financial instrument of $0.8 million.

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

We manufacture and sell our products in several countries throughout the world and, thus, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we net the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. To manage the remaining exposure, from time to time, we utilize forward currency exchange contracts and zero cost collar option contracts to minimize the volatility to earnings and cash flows resulting from the effect of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on export sales denominated in foreign currencies (principally the euro). These contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges. Designated cash flow hedges entered to minimize foreign currency exchange risk of forecasted revenue transactions are recorded to "Net sales" on the consolidated statement of operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. As of March 31, 2020, there were $14.7 million open foreign currency derivative contracts. The fair value of the designated foreign currency hedge contracts was an asset (liability) of $0.3 million and zero at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk Management

Certain energy sources used in our manufacturing operations are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply and demand conditions, economic variables, and other unpredictable factors. This volatility is primarily related to the market pricing of natural gas. To mitigate expected fluctuations in market prices and the volatility to earnings and cash flow resulting from changes to pricing of natural gas purchases, from time to time, we will enter into swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts and designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2020, we had 1.5 million and 0.1 million mmBTUS (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts, respectively. Designated commodity cash flow hedge gains or losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") are recognized in "Cost of sales" on the condensed consolidated

(Unaudited)

statements of operations when the inventory is sold. As of March 31, 2020, open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until September 2020. The fair value of the outstanding designated natural gas commodity hedge contracts as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was an asset (liability) of $(0.5) million.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Our policy is to manage interest expense using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. To manage interest rate risk effectively, from time to time, we may enter into cash flow interest rate derivative instruments, which can consist of forward starting swaps and treasury locks. In all cases, the notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements is equal to or less than the designated debt being hedged. Designated interest rate cash flow hedge gains or losses recorded in AOCI are recognized in "Interest expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the remaining maturity of the underlying debt. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.

As of March 31, 2020, we have entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $166.2 million to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest rate payments associated with our existing LIBOR-based interest payments, effectively converting $166.2 million of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate. In accordance with the terms of this instrument, we receive floating rate interest payments based upon three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 3.79 percent until July 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset (liability) of $(10.0) million and $(3.9) million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(2) Debt maturing within one year is included in "Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Covenants

Our 4.50 percent senior unsecured notes due in 2026 (the "Senior Notes") contain certain customary covenants (including covenants limiting Ingevity's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to grant or permit liens on certain property securing debt, declare or pay dividends, make distributions on or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, engage in sale and lease-back transactions, and engage in a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of our and our restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and events of default (subject in certain cases to customary exceptions, as well as grace and cure periods). The occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Notes could result in the acceleration of the Senior Notes and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness of Ingevity and its subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility and term loans contain customary default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-compliance with covenants and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness. The occurrence of an uncured event of default under the revolving credit facility and term loans could result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and the facilities being terminated. The revolving credit facility and term loans' financial covenants require Ingevity to maintain on a consolidated basis a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 (which may be increased to 4.5 to 1.0 under certain circumstances) and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. Our actual leverage for the four consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2020 was 3.5, and our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2020 was 8.1. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2020.

Share Repurchases

On February 28, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock, and rescinded the prior two authorizations from 2017 and 2018 of $100.0 million and $350.0 million each, respectively. The repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market prevailing conditions and other factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 750,000 shares of our common stock were repurchased for $32.4 million. At March 31, 2020, $467.6 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. We record shares of common stock repurchased at cost as treasury stock, resulting in a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the treasury shares are contributed under our employee benefit plans or issued for option exercises, we use a first-in, first-out method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the market price at the time of contribution to an employee benefit plan is added to or deducted from the related capital in excess of par value of common stock.

2019-2020 activities

During the third quarter of 2019, we initiated a reorganization as part of an effort to improve our Performance Chemical’s workflow and efficiency to best serve our customers’ needs and reduce costs. As a result of this reorganization, we recorded $0.2 million in severance and other employee-related costs in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Business transformation initiative costs

In the first quarter of 2020, we embarked upon a business transformation initiative that includes the implementation of an upgraded enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. This new ERP system will equip our employees with processes and technology that work together more efficiently and enable us to better serve our customers. We expect this business transformation initiative and related ERP implementation to be a complex, multi-year project. It requires the integration of the new ERP system with multiple new and existing information systems and business processes, in order to maintain the accuracy of our books and records, to provide our management team with information important to the operation of our business. Such an implementation initiative is a major financial undertaking and will require substantial time and attention of management and key employees. Costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $0.3 million represent costs directly associated with the business transformation initiative that, in accordance with GAAP, cannot be capitalized. Over the course of this initiative, we anticipate incurring approximately $60-70 million of total costs which includes $10-15 million of non-capitalizable costs, $2-3 million of which we expect in 2020.

Note 15: Income Taxes

The effective tax rates, including discrete items, were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019
Effective tax rate	17.9	%	—	%

We determine our interim tax provision using an Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate methodology (“EAETR”). The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision.

The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pre-tax ordinary income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. As our projections of ordinary income change throughout the year, the EAETR will change period-to-period. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the period they occur. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter may materially impact the reported effective tax rate. As a global enterprise, our tax expense may be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there may be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

The below table provides a reconciliation between our reported effective tax rates and the EAETR.

_______________

(1) See Note 4 for more information on our acquisition and other-related costs.

(2) Decrease in EAETR for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to March 31, 2019, is due to a change in the mix of forecasted earnings in various tax jurisdictions with varying rates, offset by a large reduction in acquisition related costs and excess stock compensation benefit.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had deferred tax assets of $10.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively, resulting from certain historical net operating losses from our Brazilian operations and U.S. state tax credits for which a valuation allowance has been established. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these net operating losses and tax credits are available to be used. In evaluating the realizability of these deferred tax assets, we consider projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making our assessment. As of March 31, 2020, we cannot objectively assert that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized and therefore we have maintained a valuation allowance. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. A release of all or a portion of the valuation allowance could be possible, if we determine that sufficient positive evidence becomes available to allow us to reach a conclusion that the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. A release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a reduction to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

Note 18: Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted net income per share excludes all antidilutive common shares.

Net sales and Gross profit

			Percentage change vs. prior year
In millions, except percentages	Net sales		Total change	Currency effect	Price/Mix	Volume
Three months ended March 31, 2020	$	288.2	4%	(1)%	2%	3%

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Net sales increase of $11.4 million in 2020 was primarily driven by favorable volume gains of $8.1 million (three percent of sales) and favorable pricing and product mix of $4.4 million (two percent of sales). Both of our operating segments contributed to the volume and pricing and product mix impacts during the quarter. The Caprolactone Acquisition, completed in the first quarter of 2019, contributed $12.3 million to the favorable volume growth during the period. Additionally, unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $1.1 million (one percent of sales), primarily related to euro and Chinese renminbi denominated sales. For additional information regarding the impact of the Caprolactone Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, see Segment Operating Results - Performance Chemicals section included within this MD&A.

Gross profit improvement of $17.5 million was driven by favorable sales volume contributing $3.6 million of additional gross profit, pricing and product mix improvement of $2.0 million, and decreased manufacturing costs of $4.1 million. Additionally, the prior year was negatively impacted by inventory step-up amortization related to the Caprolactone Acquisition of $8.4 million. These positive impacts were slightly offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange of $0.6 million. Refer to the Segment Operating Results section included within this MD&A for more information on the drivers to the changes in gross profit period over period for both segments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") decreased $0.6 million in 2020 compared to 2019. SG&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreased to 13.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from 14.1 percent in 2019. The decrease in SG&A is primarily due to a one-time decrease in employee-related incentive costs of $4.2 million. Additionally, SG&A decreased due to reduced travel and other miscellaneous costs of $1.3 million, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This positive impact was partially offset by an increase in amortization costs associated with intangible assets acquired from the Caprolactone Acquisition (see Note 4 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information) and increased legal costs both of which increased by a combined $4.9 million.

Research and technical expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Research and technical expenses as a percentage of Net sales remained relatively consistent period over period, increasing to 2.2 percent from 1.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Restructuring and other (income) charges, net

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Restructuring and other (income) charges, net were $0.5 million and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 14 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Acquisition-related costs

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Acquisition-related costs of $1.3 million and $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were incurred in connection with the Caprolactone Acquisition. See Note 4 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Segment Operating Results

In addition to the information discussed above, the following sections discuss the results of operations for both of Ingevity's segments. Our segments are (i) Performance Materials and (ii) Performance Chemicals. Segment Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is the primary measure used by the Company's chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources among our operating segments. Segment EBITDA is defined as segment revenue less segment operating expenses (segment operating expenses consist of costs of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, other (income) expense, net, excluding depreciation and amortization). We have excluded the following items from segment EBITDA: interest expense, net associated with corporate debt facilities, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges.

In general, the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2019 Annual Report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Segment net sales for the Performance Materials segment were $121.1 million and $109.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The sales increase in 2020 was primarily driven by $7.0 million (six percent of sales) in volume improvements in automotive evaporative emission canister products related to stricter environmental regulation in the Chinese, North American, and European automotive markets. These gains were further bolstered by favorable pricing and product mix of $5.1 million (five percent of sales), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange $0.1 million (zero percent of sales).

Segment EBITDA for the Performance Materials segment was $61.2 million and $51.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Segment EBITDA increased $10.0 million primarily due to favorable volume, which contributed $3.8 million and favorable pricing and product mix, which contributed $3.9 million, and decreased manufacturing costs of $6.3 million. These gains were partially offset by increased SG&A and research and technical costs of $1.5 million, primarily due to higher legal costs partially offset by lower employee-related costs. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange, the impairment of an equity investment, and other miscellaneous expenses also impacted Segment EBITDA by $2.5 million.

Caprolactone Business

The Caprolactone Business has been integrated into our Performance Chemicals segment and has been included within our results of operations since it was acquired on February 13, 2019. The information presented below for the three months

ended March 31, 2020 includes the results of the acquisition as compared to the historical results of the three months ended March 31, 2019. For a pro forma comparative analysis of 2020 versus 2019 results, refer to the section below titled "Performance Chemicals Pro Forma Financial Results with the Caprolactone Business."

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Segment net sales for the Performance Chemicals segment were $167.1 million and $167.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The sales decrease was driven mainly by unfavorable pricing and product mix of $0.7 million (zero percent of sales), driven by a decline in industrial specialties ($2.2 million), which was partially offset by favorable pricing and product mix in pavement technologies ($1.5 million). Additionally, unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $1.0 million (one percent of sales). Favorable volume of $1.1 million (one percent of sales), consisting of a favorable increase in engineered polymers ($12.3 million), oilfield technologies ($1.0 million) and pavement technologies products ($0.9 million), and volume declines in industrial specialties ($13.1 million), partially offset the decline from foreign exchange and pricing and product mix.

Segment EBITDA for the Performance Chemicals segment was $31.0 million and $32.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Segment EBITDA decreased by $1.3 million primarily due to a decline in pricing and product mix of $1.9 million, unfavorable foreign exchange and other miscellaneous costs of $3.4 million, and decreased volumes of $0.2 million. These unfavorable operating results were partially offset by lower manufacturing costs of $0.3 million and favorable SG&A costs of $3.9 million.

Performance Chemicals Pro Forma Financial Results with the Caprolactone Business

We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for our Performance Chemicals segment is useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance. Our pro forma segment information includes adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019. Our pro forma results are adjusted for the effects of acquisition accounting but do not include adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that might be achieved by the combined businesses. Pro forma amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of what our results would have been had we operated the Caprolactone Business since January 1, 2019, nor will the pro forma amounts necessarily be indicative of our future results.

Pro Forma Combined Results - Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 vs. 2019

Pro Forma Combined Net Sales for the Performance Chemicals segment were $167.1 million and $185.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Pro Forma Combined Net Sales decrease was driven by unfavorable volume of $16.6 million (nine percent of sales), which consisted of unfavorable volumes in industrial specialties ($13.1 million), engineered polymers ($5.4 million), offset partially by volume increases in pavement technologies ($0.9 million) and oilfield technologies ($1.0 million). Also contributing to the decline was unfavorable pricing and product mix of $0.7 million (zero percent of sales), driven by unfavorable pricing and product mix in industrial specialties ($2.2 million), partially offset by favorable price and product mix in pavement technologies ($1.5 million). Unfavorable foreign currency exchange also impacted Pro Forma Combined Net Sales by $1.0 million (one percent of sales).

Pro Forma Combined Segment EBITDA for the Performance Chemicals segment was $31.0 million and $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Pro Forma Combined Segment EBITDA decreased by $6.8 million primarily due to decreased volumes of $5.6 million, increased manufacturing, freight and warehousing costs of $2.1 million, unfavorable pricing and product mix of $1.9 million, which were partially offset by $5.6 million of favorable SG&A costs. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange and other miscellaneous income also impacted Pro Forma Combined Segment EBITDA by $2.8 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted EBITDA

Ingevity has presented the financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, defined below, which has not been prepared in accordance GAAP and has provided a reconciliation to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management as a measure of profitability.

We believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides management as well as investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the business, because such measure, when viewed together with our financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it excludes the effects of investment activities as well as non-operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, and pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges.

This non-GAAP measure is not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP and investors should consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is set forth within this section.

Total Company Outlook


In millions			FY2020 Guidance
Net sales			$1,100 - $1,200
Adjusted EBITDA			$310 - $350
Capital Expenditures			~$85
Operating Cash Flow			$215 - $255

To account for the uncertainties related to COVID-19, we are revising and broadening our guidance for sales to between $1.10 billion and $1.20 billion and Adjusted EBITDA from between $310 million and $350 million. We’ll be controlling our capital expenditures and currently plan to spend about $85 million, down from our previous guidance. As such, we expect operating cash flow for the year to be between $215 million and $255 million.

Our revised guidance range incorporates three potential outcomes for the year. It is difficult to determine the exact rates at which the auto consumer will return to buying in each region of the world. China’s current sales represent a rapid recovery from their early Q1 2020 shut-down. However, it is difficult to know a) if this will be sustained in China, and b) if this template will be followed in other regions of the world. Therefore, we have developed three scenarios – a low, mid, and high case – each reflective of assumptions around the rate of auto sales in North America, China and Europe for the remainder of the year. These scenarios represent our best, current thinking on the markets we are facing. It is important to note a significant assumption in all three scenarios – we do not forecast a full recovery of the auto market to 2019 levels, instead we have estimated a recovery to 75-85 percent of 2019 levels are various points throughout the year.

Our low-end case, most punitive case, assumes that oil prices remain in the high teens/lower $20 per barrel and that the auto market does not recover to the 75-85 percent level until sometime in Q4 2020. Our mid-range case maintains the same assumptions regarding oil prices, but assumes that the auto market stabilizes at these assumed levels in the middle of Q3 2020. Our high-end case assumes some stabilization of oil in the mid-$20 range and the auto market reaches the 75-85 percent level in the early part of Q3 2020.

Currently, we do not see a recovery of the auto market to 2019 levels until 2021 or beyond. We do reserve the right to adjust these ranges, up or down, over the course of the year as we gain more clarity.

In addition, we estimate Q2 2020 net sales will be down 25 to 30 percent and Adjusted EBITDA will be down 35 to 40 percent versus Q2 2019. This guidance is driven by the shutdown of auto production in Europe and North America, as well as current sales estimates in China for the quarter. These numbers assume North American and European manufacturers resume production on the dates announced and at reduced rates as estimated by us and other forecasts.

A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2020 is not provided. Ingevity does not forecast net income as it cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. These components, net of tax, include further restructuring and other income (charges), net; additional acquisition and other related costs in connection with the acquisition of the Caprolactone Business; and additional pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges. Additionally, discrete tax items could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted EBITDA, that have a similar impact on comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of liquidity for Ingevity’s business is the cash flow provided by operations. Projected 2020 cash flow provided by operations is expected to be $215 million to $255 million. We expect our cash flow provided by operations combined with cash on hand and available capacity under our revolving credit facility to be sufficient to meet our working capital needs. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make interest payments, capital expenditures, expenditures related to our business transformation initiative, principal repayments, purchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program, income tax payments, incur additional spending associated with our Performance Materials' intellectual property litigation, and may incur additional acquisition-related cost payments. In addition, from time to time we may repurchase any of our outstanding 4.50 percent senior unsecured notes due in 2026 in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We believe these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our planned operations and meet our interest and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2020, our undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was $372.9 million, however if fully drawn, a portion of this capacity may need to be repaid by June 30, 2020 to comply with existing debt covenants. In addition, we also evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions, and joint ventures, as well as other transactions to create stockholder value and enhance financial performance. Such transactions may require cash expenditures. In connection with such transactions, or to fund other anticipated uses of cash, we may modify our existing revolving credit and term loan facilities, seek additional debt financing, issue equity securities, or some combination thereof.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $302.7 million at March 31, 2020, which includes funds from the $250 million draw down from our revolving credit facility during Q1 2020 to strengthen short term liquidity and to ensure financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Management continuously monitors deposit concentrations and the

credit quality of the financial institutions that hold Ingevity's cash and cash equivalents, as well as the credit quality of its insurance providers, customers and key suppliers.

Due to the global nature of our operations, a portion of our cash is held outside the U.S. The cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2020 included $52.5 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generally used to finance our foreign operations and capital expenditures. We believe that our foreign holdings of cash will not have a material adverse impact on our U.S. liquidity. Management does not currently expect to repatriate cash earnings from our foreign operations in order to fund U.S. operations. If these earnings were distributed, such amounts would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the statutory rate less the available foreign tax credits, if any, and potentially subject to withholding taxes in the various jurisdictions. The potential tax implications of the repatriation of unremitted earnings are driven by facts at the time of distribution, therefore, it is not practicable to estimate the income tax liabilities that might be incurred if such cash and earnings were repatriated to the U.S.

Other Potential Liquidity Needs

Share Repurchases

On February 28, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock, and rescinded the prior two authorizations from 2017 and 2018 of $100.0 million and $350.0 million each, respectively. The share repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. During March 2020, we did suspend share repurchases in light of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market prevailing conditions and other factors. At March 31, 2020, $467.6 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program.

Capital Expenditures

Projected 2020 capital expenditures are $85 million. We have no material commitments associated with these projected capital expenditures as of March 31, 2020.

Cash flow comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	(20.2)		(569.3)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	203.2		539.4

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities

During the first three months of 2020, cash flow provided by operations increased primarily due to higher earnings, improved collection of accounts receivable, and a decrease in the change in accrued payroll and employee benefits. Below provides a description of the changes to working capital during the first three months of 2020 (i.e. current assets and current liabilities).

Current Assets and Liabilities


In millions	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	302.7	$	56.5
Accounts receivable, net	140.8		150.0
Inventories, net	236.2		212.5
Prepaid and other current assets	44.8		44.2
Total current assets	$	724.5	$	463.2

Current assets as of March 31, 2020, increased $261.3 million compared to December 31, 2019, primarily due to increases in cash and inventories. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $246.2 million, compared to the balance at December 31, 2019, mainly due to the drawdown of our revolving credit facility to strengthen our short term liquidity in response to the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Inventories increased by $23.7 million mainly due to the build of inventory for forecasted sales, as well as lower than expected sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These increases were offset by a decrease of $9.2 million in Accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2020, related to improved collections during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, Prepaid and other current assets decreased by $0.6 million, primarily related to higher tax receivables.


In millions	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Accounts payable	$	105.0	$	99.1
Accrued expenses	30.1		33.3
Accrued payroll and employee benefits	15.6		28.2
Current operating lease liabilities	16.9		17.1
Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt	21.6		22.5
Income taxes payable	18.5		15.3
Total current liabilities	$	207.7	$	215.5

Current liabilities as of March 31, 2020, decreased by $7.8 million compared to December 31, 2019, primarily driven by a decrease in Accrued payroll and employee benefits, Accrued expenses, Current operating lease liabilities, and Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt, offset partially by increases in Accounts payable and Income taxes payable.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities

Cash used by investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $20.2 million and was primarily driven by capital expenditures. In the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, capital spending included the base maintenance capital supporting ongoing operations and growth spending primarily related to the construction of Performance Materials activated carbon manufacturing facilities in Waynesboro, Georgia, Wickliffe, Kentucky, and Covington, Virginia as well as expansion at our Performance Chemicals Warrington, United Kingdom facility.

Safety, health and environment	2.7		2.1
Growth and cost improvement	3.9		18.6
Total capital expenditures	$	19.5	$	28.1

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $203.2 million and was driven by net borrowings of $243.8 million from our revolving credit facility, offset by payments on long-term borrowings of $4.7 million, tax payments related to withholdings on restricted stock unit vestings of $3.1 million, and the repurchase of common stock of $32.4 million. Cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $539.4 million and was primarily driven by net borrowings of $293.1 million from our revolving credit facility and $375.0 million from the amendment to our Term Loan Facility, offset by payments on long-term borrowings of $113.1 million, tax payments related to withholdings on restricted stock unit vestings of $14.3 million, and the repurchase of common stock of $3.3 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Information related to our contractual commitments at December 31, 2019 can be found in a table included within Part II, Item 7 of our 2019 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our contractual commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

New Accounting Guidance

Refer to the Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and expected effects on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have described our accounting policies in Note 3 to our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2019 Annual Report. We have reviewed these accounting policies, identifying those that we believe to be critical to the preparation and understanding of our financial statements. Critical accounting policies are central to our presentation of results of operations and financial condition and require management to make estimates and judgments on certain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current conditions and other reasonable factors. Our critical accounting policies have not substantially changed from those described in the 2019 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We have foreign-based operations, primarily in Europe, South America and Asia, which accounted for approximately 19 percent of our net sales in the first three months of 2020. Ingevity's significant operations outside the U.S. have designated the local currency as their functional currency. The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the Japanese yen and the Chinese renminbi. In addition, certain of our domestic operations have sales to foreign customers. In the conduct of our foreign operations, we also make inter-company sales. All of this exposes us to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our earnings are therefore subject to change due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when the earnings in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows. The U.S. dollar versus the euro is our most significant foreign currency exposure. A hypothetical 10 percent change in the average euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate during the three months ended March 31, 2020, would have changed our net sales and income before income taxes by approximately $0.8 million or less than one percent and $0.6 million or one percent, respectively.

Interest rate risk

Our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility each include a variable interest rate component. As a result, we are subject to interest rate risk with respect to such floating-rate debt. A 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings as of March 31, 2020 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $11.1 million or 23 percent.

We have entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $166.2 million to limit exposure to interest rate increases related to a portion of the Company's floating rate indebtedness. This swap agreement hedges a portion of contractual floating rate interest through its expiration in July 2023. As a result, the Company's weighted average effective interest rate on the notional amount floating rate indebtedness will be 3.79% through May 2021. The fair value of this instrument at March 31, 2020 was an asset of $10.4 million.

Other market risks

Information about our other remaining market risks for the period ended March 31, 2020 does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of our 2019 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Ingevity maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Ingevity's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of March 31, 2020, Ingevity's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Ingevity's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level described above. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that many of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

We are also in the beginning stages of a multi-year implementation of a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. Currently, we have had no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to this implementation, however, as the implementation progresses, we will give appropriate consideration to whether any process changes necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation and other legal matters incidental to our operations. None of the litigation or other legal matters in which we are currently involved, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations nor are we aware of any material pending or contemplated proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has and may continue to have an adverse effect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price.

The World Health Organization has declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the virus continues to spread in areas where we operate and transact business. We have been classified as an essential business in the jurisdictions that have made this determination to date, and have been allowed to continue our operations. However, our facilities - as well as the operations of our suppliers, customers and third-party sales representatives and distributors - have been, and will continue to be, disrupted by governmental and private sector responses to COVID-19. This includes business shutdowns, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols, travel or health-related restrictions, as well as quarantines, self-isolations, and disruptions to transportation channels. Additional government shutdown orders or stay-at-home directives, or an outbreak among or quarantine of the employees in any of our facilities, could cause significant interruptions to, or temporary closures of our operations and could materially adversely affect our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations. Furthermore, we may not be able to manage our business effectively due to working from home inefficiently, technology and security risks posed by working remotely, extended furloughs of employees or being unable to travel to our facilities or those of our customers and suppliers.

Disruptions to the operations of our suppliers may negatively impact our ability to purchase goods and services for our business at efficient prices and in sufficient amounts. Additionally, the operations of our customers may have been, and could be further, disrupted thereby increasing the likelihood that our customers may attempt to delay or cancel orders, may reduce future orders or may seek to extend payment terms. Furthermore, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, adverse changes in the industries that our products serve or adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers could further adversely impact demand for our products, particularly in the automotive industry. In addition, the recent significant decrease in energy prices resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including crude oil and gas prices, could negatively impact the activities of our oilfield customers resulting in a corresponding adverse effect on demand for our oilfield products.

The extent of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business and financial results will depend on various uncertainties and future developments, including the ultimate duration, severity and spread of the virus in the countries where we operate and transact business, the actions taken by government authorities in their efforts to contain or treat the virus and to mitigate the economic disruptions and the global economic downturn resulting from the pandemic. These impacts, together with the other factors discussed, are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, however they have and may continue to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and a negative impact on our stock price. There can be no assurance that any decrease in sales resulting from COVID-19 will be offset by increased sales in subsequent periods.

Additionally, to the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or any resulting worsening of the global business and economic environment adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening or exacerbating many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2019 Annual Report.

Complications with the design or implementation of our new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system could adversely impact our business and operations.

We are in the process of a complex, multi-year implementation of a new ERP system necessary due to the finite life of the existing operating system. The ERP system implementation requires the integration of the new ERP system with multiple

new and existing information systems and business processes in order to maintain the accuracy of our books and records and to provide our management team with information important to the operation of our business. Such an initiative is a major financial undertaking and will require substantial time and attention of management and key employees. The implementation of the ERP system may prove to be more difficult, costly, or time consuming than expected, and it is possible that the system will not yield the benefits anticipated. Failure to successfully design and implement the new ERP system as planned could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. Additionally, if we do not effectively implement the ERP system as planned or the ERP system does not operate as intended, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could be negatively affected.

There have been no other material changes in Ingevity's risk factors discussed in Item 1A of the 2019 Annual Report.
