Note 1: Background

Description of Business

Ingevity Corporation ("Ingevity," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides products and technologies that purify, protect, and enhance the world around us. Through a team of talented and experienced people, we develop, manufacture, and bring to market solutions that help customers solve complex problems and make the world more sustainable. We report in two business segments, Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals.

Our Performance Materials segment manufactures products in the form of powder, granular, extruded pellets, extruded honeycombs, and activated carbon sheets. Automotive technologies products are sold into the 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, industrial specialties, and engineered polymers product lines. Performance Chemicals manufactures products derived from crude tall oil ("CTO") and lignin extracted from the kraft pulping 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 warm mix paving, pavement preservation, and pavement reconstruction and recycling (pavement technologies product line), adhesives, agrochemicals, lubricants, printing inks, industrial intermediates, and oilfield (industrial specialties product line), coatings, resins, elastomers, adhesives, bio-plastics, and medical devices (engineered polymers product line).

Basis of Consolidation and 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, 2021, 2020 and 2019, collectively referred to as the “Annual Consolidated Financial Statements,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 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.

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

Note 2: 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 Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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. As of March 31, 2022, we have not yet elected any optional expedients provided in the standard. We will apply the accounting relief, if necessary, as relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications are made during the reference rate reform transition period. We do not expect this new standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(2) Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

(3) Significant unobservable inputs.

(4) Consists of a deferred compensation arrangement, through which we hold various investment securities. Both the asset and liability are recorded at fair value, and are included within "Other assets" and "Other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. In addition to the investment securities, we also have company-owned life insurance ("COLI") related to the deferred compensation arrangement. COLI is recorded at cash surrender value and included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $13.1 million and $14.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(5) Included within "Other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no nonrecurring fair value measurements in the condensed consolidated balance sheet during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Strategic Investments

During the second quarter of 2021, we acquired a strategic investment in a privately-held company for $16.5 million, which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of our strategic equity investment was $16.2 million and $16.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2022, we acquired a strategic investment in a privately-held company for $2.0 million, which is accounted for under the measurement alternative method. The aggregate carrying value of all measurement alternative investments where fair value is not readily determinable totaled $20.8 million and $18.8 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There were no adjustments to the carrying value of the measurement alternative method investments for impairment or observable price changes for the period ended March 31, 2022.

Restricted Investment

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of our restricted investment, which is accounted for as held-to-maturity ("HTM") and therefore recorded at amortized costs, was $76.6 million and $76.1 million, net of an allowance for credit losses of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, and included cash of $5.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The fair value at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $76.7 million and $80.0 million, respectively, based on Level 1 inputs.

The following table shows the total amortized cost of our HTM debt securities by credit rating, excluding the allowance for credit losses and cash. 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.


	HTM Debt Securities
In millions	AA+		AA	AA-	A	A-	BBB+	Total
March 31, 2022	$	13.4	—	10.5	13.3	14.1	20.5	$	71.8
December 31, 2021	$	13.4	—	10.6	13.3	14.1	20.5	$	71.9

Debt and Finance Lease Obligations

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of finance lease obligations was $102.2 million and $102.4 million, respectively, and the fair value was $112.5 million and $118.6 million, respectively. 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 fair value of all other finance lease obligations approximates their carrying values.

The carrying amount, excluding debt issuance fees, of our variable interest rate long-term debt was $323.4 million and $328.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $850.0 million and $850.0 million, respectively, and the fair value was $800.8 million and $843.9 million, respectively, based on Level 2 inputs.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of certain assets in May 2020, we are contingently obligated to make an additional payment for such assets of up to an aggregate amount of $7.0 million. The contingent consideration is payable if certain sales volume targets are achieved prior to December 31, 2024, herein referred to as "Revenue Earn-out."

The fair value of the five-year Revenue Earn-out consideration was $0.8 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability will be recorded in current period earnings as a selling, general, and administrative expense.

The following table summarizes the activity for financial liabilities utilizing Level 3 fair value measurements:

Amortization expense related to our intangible assets is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we recognized amortization expense of $8.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Based on the current carrying values of intangible assets, estimated pre-tax amortization expense for the next five years is as follows: 2022 - $32.5 million, 2023 - $32.4 million, 2024 - $32.1 million, 2025 - $32.1 million, and 2026 - $32.1 million. The estimated pre-tax amortization expense may fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Note 8: Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Net Investment Hedges

We have 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 of 1.63 percent. The difference between the fixed interest rate on the U.S. dollar denominated debt compared 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 a net asset (liability) of $2.7 million and $1.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized net interest income associated with this financial instrument of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

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 condensed consolidated statement of operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. As of March 31, 2022, there were $19.0 million open foreign currency derivative contracts. The fair value of the designated foreign currency hedge contracts was an asset (liability) of $0.9 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, 2022, we had 1.6 million and 0.7 million mm BTUS (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2022, open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until June 2023. The fair value of the outstanding designated natural gas

(Unaudited)

commodity hedge contracts as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was a net asset (liability) of $3.2 million and $(0.6) million, respectively.

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 interest rate derivative instruments. In all cases, the notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements is equal to or less than the designated debt being hedged. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. Designated interest rate cash flow hedge gains or losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and 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.

As of March 31, 2022, we have floating-to-fixed 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 fixed rate of 3.79 percent until July 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset (liability) of $(0.3) million and $(4.0) million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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. See Note 17 for additional information.

Debt Covenants

Our indentures 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 Ingevity 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 2026 Senior Notes or 2028 Senior Notes could result in the acceleration of the notes of such series and could cause a cross-default resulting in the acceleration of other indebtedness of Ingevity and its subsidiaries, including the other series. We were in compliance with all covenants under the indentures as of March 31, 2022.

The credit agreements governing our revolving credit facility and term loan 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 credit agreement could result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities being terminated. The credit agreement also contains certain customary covenants, including financial covenants. The revolving credit facility financial covenants require Ingevity to maintain on a consolidated basis a maximum total net 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. Additionally, the term loan financial covenants require Ingevity to maintain on a consolidated basis a maximum total gross 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 gross and net leverage for the four consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2022 were 2.6 and 2.2, respectively, and our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2022 was 9.9. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2022.

Business transformation costs

In 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 standardized processes and secure integrated technology that enable us to better understand and meet our customers' needs and compete in the marketplace. The implementation of our new ERP is expected to occur in multiple phases over two years beginning with our pilot deployment which occurred during the first quarter of 2022. This business transformation 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 real-time 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, 2022 and 2021, of $3.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, 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 $90-95 million of total costs, which includes $45-50 million of non-capitalizable costs, $15-17 million of which we expect to be incurred in 2022.

Note 13: Income Taxes

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022		2021
Effective tax rate		21.6	%	21.2	%

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.















	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022						2021
In millions, except percentages	Before tax		Tax		Effective tax rate % impact		Before tax		Tax		Effective tax rate % impact

_______________

(1) Decrease in EAETR for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to March 31, 2021, is due to an overall change in the mix

of forecasted earnings in various tax jurisdictions with varying rates.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had deferred tax assets of $10.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively, resulting from certain historical net operating losses from our Brazilian and Chinese 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, 2022, 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 14: Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On July 19, 2018, we filed suit against BASF Corporation (“BASF”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Proceeding”) alleging BASF infringed Ingevity’s patent covering canister systems used in the control of automotive gasoline vapor emissions (U.S. Patent No. RE38,844) (the “844 Patent”). On February 14, 2019, BASF asserted counterclaims against us in the Delaware Proceeding, alleging two claims for violations of U.S. antitrust law (one for exclusive dealing and the other for tying) as well as a claim for tortious interference with an alleged prospective business relationship between BASF and a BASF customer (the “BASF Counterclaims”). The BASF Counterclaims relate to our enforcement of the 844 Patent and our entry into several supply agreements with customers of its fuel vapor canister honeycombs. The U.S. District Court dismissed our patent infringement claims on November 18, 2020, and the case proceeded to trial on the BASF Counterclaims in September 2021.

On September 15, 2021, a jury in the Delaware Proceeding issued a verdict in favor of BASF on the BASF Counterclaims and awarded BASF damages of approximately $28.3 million, which will be trebled under U.S. antitrust law to approximately $85.0 million when the court enters judgment. In addition, BASF may seek pre- and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees and costs in amounts that they will have to support at a future date.

We disagree with the verdict, including the court’s application of the law, and we intend to seek judgment as a matter of law in the Delaware Proceeding post-trial briefing stage and on appeal, if necessary. In addition, we intend to challenge the U.S. District Court’s November 2020 dismissal of our patent infringement claims against BASF. Ingevity believes in the strength of its intellectual property and the merits of its position and intends to pursue all legal relief available to challenge these outcomes in the Delaware Proceeding. Final resolution of these matters could take up to eighteen months.

As of March 31, 2022, there has been no progress in the post-trial proceedings to warrant any change to our conclusions as disclosed within our 2021 Annual Report. As such, no changes to our reserve were made during this quarter. The full amount of the jury's verdict, $85.0 million, is accrued in Other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. The amount of any liability we may ultimately incur related to the Delaware Proceeding could be more or less than the amount accrued.

Note 16: 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

The table below shows the 2022 Net sales and variances from 2021:


			Change vs. prior year
In millions	Prior year Net sales		Volume	Price/Mix	Currency effect	Current year Net Sales
Three months ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021	$	320.3	6.6	58.7	(2.8)	$	382.8

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

The sales increase of $62.5 million in 2022 was driven by favorable pricing of $58.7 million (eighteen percent) and favorable volume growth in both of our segments for a combined impact of $6.6 million (two percent), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange of $2.8 million (one percent).

Gross Profit

Gross profit increase of $11.6 million was driven by favorable pricing improvement of $58.3 million and favorable sales volume of $2.7 million, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange of $1.5 million and increased manufacturing costs of $47.9 million due to raw material and energy cost inflationary pressures. 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, 2022 vs. 2021

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $40.0 million (10.4 percent of Net sales) and $40.0 million (12.5 percent of Net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of Net sales was driven by higher sales and reduced travel and other miscellaneous costs of $3.2 million. The positive impact was partially offset by higher employee-related costs of $1.4 million and increased legal costs of $1.8 million.

Research and technical expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

Research and technical expenses as a percentage of Net sales remained relatively consistent period over period, decreasing to 1.9 percent from 2.1 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Restructuring and other (income) charges, net

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

Restructuring and other (income) charges, net were $3.6 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 12 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Acquisition-related costs

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

Acquisition-related costs were zero and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 2021 costs were incurred in connection with the integration of Perstorp Holding AB's caprolactone business into our Performance Chemicals segment.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rate was 21.6 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. Excluding discrete items, the effective rate was 20.7 percent compared to 21.4 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. An explanation of the change in the effective tax rate is presented in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, litigation verdict charges, and 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 2021 Annual Report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

Segment net sales increase of $7.7 million in 2022 was driven by favorable pricing of $4.0 million (three percent) and volume growth of $3.7 million (three percent).

Volume growth was driven by increased sales of our process purification products. Favorable pricing recognized in the first quarter was driven by process purification product sales as well as continued strong demand for our automotive gasoline vapor emission control products. Automotive volumes were however muted by lower vehicle production globally, driven by ongoing supply chain challenges and the global microchip shortage. North American sales of automotive gasoline vapor emission control products offset lower volumes in Asia-Pacific due to COVID-related customer shutdowns. Brazil's implementation of their new new emissions regulation standard, Proconve L-7, began in the first quarter of 2022 driving volume growth in South America automotive gasoline vapor emission control products.

Segment EBITDA increased $4.2 million due to decreased SG&A and research and technical expenses of $2.5 million, favorable pricing of $2.1 million, favorable volume of $1.2 million and favorable foreign currency exchange of $0.7 million, offset by higher manufacturing costs of $2.3 million.

Three months ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021	$	179.6	2.9	54.7	(2.8)	$	234.4

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. 2021

Segment net sales increase of $54.8 million was driven by favorable pricing and product mix of $54.7 million (30 percent), driven by increases in industrial specialties ($39.7 million), engineered polymers ($14.9 million), and pavement technologies ($0.1 million). Also driving the segment net sales increase was favorable volume of $2.9 million (two percent), consisting of volume increases in pavement technologies ($6.6 million) and engineered polymers ($3.0 million), offset partially by volume decreases in industrial specialties ($6.7 million). Unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $2.8 million (two percent).

Our Performance Chemicals segment saw strong revenue growth versus the prior year’s quarter on solid end-market demand and continued price improvement. These price increases were necessary to keep pace with the dramatic increases we are experiencing related to energy, raw material, and shipping costs.

Our Engineered Polymers business grew 34.1 percent as the business increased pricing to offset inflationary costs for raw materials, logistics, and energy that spiked in the fourth quarter of 2021 and has remained at elevated levels. From a regional perspective, sales in Asia for our products were robust in the quarter due to demand in automotive and UV coatings applications. This was offset by a decline in the Americas where some polyurethane customers experienced availability issues with key raw materials.

Industrial Specialties sales increased 29.1 percent versus the prior-year quarter with strong performance across all markets, particularly in oilfield and adhesives primary end-use markets. The sales improvements were supplemented by an improved mix shift to higher-value derivative products as growth in higher-end additives to oilfield and adhesives primary end-use markets outpaced growth in industrial intermediate’s merchant tall oil fatty acid sales.

Pavement Technologies sales increased 30.4 percent versus the prior-year quarter. While price increases contributed to the sales improvement, most of this growth was driven by improved volumes, primarily in the Americas and Europe.

Segment EBITDA increased by $9.4 million due to favorable pricing and product mix of $56.2 million, an increase in volume of $1.5 million, and favorable foreign currency exchange of $0.8 million, offset by higher manufacturing costs of $45.2 million, and higher SG&A expenses of $3.9 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 with 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 nor 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 financing and 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, litigation verdict charges, and pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges, net.

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.

The factors that impacted adjusted EBITDA period to period are the same factors that affected earnings discussed in the Results of Operations and Segment Operating Results sections included within this MD&A.

Current Company Outlook


In millions			2022 Guidance
Net sales			$1,525 - $1,650
Adjusted EBITDA			$430 - $470
Operating Cash Flow			$305 - $325
Capital Expenditures			$155 - $175
Free Cash Flow*			~$150
*Calculated as Operating Cash Flow less Capital Expenditures

Ingevity raised the top end of its 2022 guidance to sales between $1.525 billion to $1.65 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $430 million to $470 million. For revenue, we expect to capture volume growth in our Performance Chemical segment specifically within our Engineered Polymers’ business. We also anticipate continued growth in our adhesives and oilfield products within Industrial Specialties. Pavement technologies will benefit from the U.S. infrastructure bill and continued Evotherm® warm mix technology adoption. This expected demand will result in favorable pricing conditions. Performance Materials will see moderate growth as process purification volumes and price increases will partially offset muted improvement in automotive due to the continued constrained semiconductor shortage and the absence of any novel gasoline vapor emission control regulations.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow versus 2021 mainly driven by our Performance Chemicals segment, where continued profitable growth in all businesses is expected to be partially offset by inflationary costs of energy, logistics and primary raw materials. The Performance Materials segment anticipates results similar to 2021 as U.S., Chinese, Canadian, and European vehicle production continues to be negatively impacted by global chip supply and general cost inflation. We expect to deliver fiscal year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $430 million to $470 million. These estimates assume that 2022 will continue to be impacted by global logistical headwinds, geopolitical uncertainty, significant cost inflation, and the microchip shortage which is disrupting the global automotive supply chain.

A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2022 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; litigation verdict charges; additional pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges; and revisions due to legislative tax rate changes. 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 our business is the cash flow provided by operating activities. 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 fund our planned operations and meet our interest and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2022, our undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was $497.5 million. Over the next twelve months, we expect to fund the following: redemption of our 4.50% Senior Notes due in 2026 (see Note 17 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information), interest payments, capital expenditures, expenditures related to our business transformation initiative, debt principal repayments, purchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program, income tax payments, and to incur additional spending associated with our Performance Materials' intellectual property litigation. In addition, we may also evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, or other transactions to create stockholder value and enhance financial performance. In connection with such transactions, or to fund other anticipated uses of cash, we may modify our existing revolving credit and term loan facility, redeem all or part of our outstanding senior notes, seek additional debt financing, issue equity securities, or some combination thereof.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $222.6 million at March 31, 2022. We continuously monitor deposit concentrations and the credit quality of the financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents, as well as the credit quality of our 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, 2022, included $95.8 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generally used to finance our foreign operations and their capital expenditures. We believe that our foreign holdings of cash will not have a material adverse impact on our U.S. liquidity. 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 would potentially be 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. Management does not currently expect to repatriate cash earnings from our foreign operations in order to fund U.S. operations.

Other Potential Liquidity Needs

Share Repurchases

On March 2, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common stock and rescinded the prior two outstanding repurchase authorizations. 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, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Capital Expenditures

Projected 2022 capital expenditures are $155 - $175 million. We have no material commitments associated with these projected capital expenditures as of March 31, 2022.

Current liabilities as of March 31, 2022, increased by $282.8 million compared to December 31, 2021, driven primarily by an increase in Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt of $300.0 million due to the redemption of our 4.5% Senior Notes due in 2026 (see Note 17 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information), Income taxes payable of $3.6 million, Accounts payable of $3.1 million, and Accrued expenses of $2.1 million. This increase was offset partially by decreases in Accrued payroll and employee benefits of $25.8 million, and Current operating lease liabilities of $0.2 million.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities

Cash used by investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $30.2 million and was primarily driven by capital expenditures. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, capital spending included the base maintenance capital supporting ongoing operations and growth and cost improvement spending primarily related to our business transformation initiative (see Note 12 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).


Capital expenditure categories	Three Months Ended March 31,
In millions	2022		2021
Maintenance	$	12.4	$	7.6
Safety, health and environment	3.6		1.8
Growth and cost improvement	11.6		7.6
Total capital expenditures	$	27.6	$	17.0

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities

Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $46.3 million and was primarily driven by the repurchase of common stock of $40.4 million, payments on long-term borrowings of $4.7 million, and tax payments related to withholdings on restricted stock unit vestings of $1.8 million. Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $52.1 million and was primarily driven by the repurchase of common stock of $39.4 million, payments on long-term borrowings of $9.4 million, and tax payments related to withholdings on restricted stock unit vestings of $2.3 million.

New Accounting Guidance

Refer to Note 2 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 and Estimates

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 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 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. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2021 Annual Report. Our critical accounting policies have not substantially changed from those described in the 2021 Annual Report.

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 30 percent of our net sales in the first three months of 2022. We have designated the local currency as the functional currency of our significant operations outside of the U.S. The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the Japanese yen, the pound sterling, 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. In some cases, to minimize the effects of such fluctuations, we use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows. Our largest exposures are to the Chinese renminbi and the euro. A hypothetical 10 percent adverse change, excluding the impact of any hedging instruments, in the average Chinese renminbi and euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2022, would have decreased our net sales and income before income taxes by approximately $5.1 million or one percent, and $2.1 million or two percent, respectively. Comparatively, a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in the average Chinese renminbi and euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2021, would have decreased our net sales and income before income taxes by approximately $4.7 million or two percent, and $1.9 million or three percent, respectively.

Interest rate risk

As of March 31, 2022, approximately $323 million of our borrowings include a variable interest rate component. As a result, we are subject to interest rate risk with respect to such floating-rate debt. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 would have increased our annual interest expense by approximately $3.2 million or seven percent. Comparatively, a 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 would have increased our interest expense by approximately $3.4 million or seven percent.

As of March 31, 2022, we have entered into an interest rate swap with an aggregate 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 the interest rate swap, we receive floating rate interest payments based upon three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a fixed rate of 3.79 percent until July 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset (liability) of $(0.3) million and $(4.0) million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Other market risks

Information about our other remaining market risks for the period ended March 31, 2022 does not differ materially from that discussed under Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our 2021 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, 2022, 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.

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, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting.

We are implementing a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The implementation is expected to occur in multiple phases over two years beginning with our pilot deployment which occurred during the first quarter of 2022. 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.
