Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Univar Solutions Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Proceeds and repayments under the revolving credit facilities for 2021, previously reported net in our interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, are now presented separately to conform to the current period presentation. Additionally, certain other immaterial amounts in the prior period interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-08 “Business Combinations” (Topic 805) – “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2023 and it is not expected to have a material impact upon the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance” (Topic 832) – “Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance,” which aims to increase the transparency of government assistance and grants. The ASU requires additional annual disclosures pertaining to the types of received government assistance, accounting for the transactions and the related impacts on the reported financial results. The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective December 31, 2022 and is currently determining the impacts of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Business combinations
Sweetmix Distribuidora de Materias Primas Industriais Ltda (“Sweetmix”)
On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired Sweetmix, a food ingredients and coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (“CASE”) specialty chemical distribution company in Brazil. The acquisition price, including 2022 measurement period adjustments, was $53.0 million, with $32.5 million of which was paid in cash (net of cash acquired of $1.2 million) upon closing, with the remaining $19.3 million to be paid over the next five years. The Company believes that the acquisition of Sweetmix significantly enhances the Company’s specialty food ingredients product offering in Latin America and also enhances the Company's position in the local CASE market.
During the first six months of 2022, the Company updated the purchase price allocation to reflect intangible asset fair value adjustments, purchase price adjustments and the deferred tax impacts of the recognized adjustments. The preliminary values and measurement period adjustments related to the significant assets and liabilities are shown below:

The goodwill is included in the Latin America (“LATAM”) segment and is not deductible for income tax purposes. The identified intangible assets relate to customer relationships and will be amortized over a period of eight years. The initial accounting for this acquisition is preliminary and subject to additional measurement period adjustments related to taxes.
3. Dispositions
On April 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Distrupol business within the Europe and the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) segment for total cash proceeds of $136.7 million. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $87.6 million pre-tax gain on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, net of a release of cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $18.1 million. The Company recorded $3.9 million income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 attributable to Distrupol.

5. Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by both geographic reportable segments and revenue contract types. Geographic reportable segmentation is pertinent to understanding the Company's revenues, as it aligns to how the Company reviews the financial performance of its operations. Revenue contract types are differentiated by the type of good or service the Company offers customers, since the contractual terms necessary for revenue recognition are unique to each of the identified revenue contract types.

Cash and cash equivalents
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries participate in a multi-currency, notional cash pooling arrangement with a third-party bank provider to manage global liquidity requirements (the “Notional Cash Pool”). Under the Notional Cash Pool, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries is pledged as security against the overdraft balances of other participating subsidiaries, providing legal rights of offset. As a result, the balances are presented on a net basis within cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2022, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $48.3 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $86.5 million less a bank overdraft balance of $38.2 million. As of December 31, 2021, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $43.2 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $146.0 million less a bank overdraft balance of $102.8 million.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the trade accounts receivable. Collectability of the trade accounts receivable balance is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined based on the delinquency of customer accounts, the financial condition of individual customers, past collections experience and future economic expectations. The change in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

Multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability
As of December 31, 2021, the Company recognized its best estimate of a withdrawal liability of $31.2 million, related to triggering events at all eight sites of the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (“Central States Pension Fund”), culminating in the Company ceasing to participate in the Central States Pension Fund. Upon an agreed final funding assessment with the Central States Pension Fund, the Company will recognize any differences between the estimated and actual withdrawal liability. As of June 30, 2022 this balance is unchanged.
The Company estimates its cash obligation to be approximately $1.9 million annually for each of the next 20 years. The net present value of the withdrawal liability was determined using a risk-free interest rate. Amounts associated with the withdrawal liability are included in other operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
8. Income taxes
The income tax expense and effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Effective income tax rate26.5 %15.0 %26.4 %16.9 %
The Company’s 2022 effective income tax rate was higher than the US federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to higher rates on foreign earnings, US tax on foreign earnings, US state income taxes and non-deductible employee costs. The Company’s 2021 effective income tax rate was also impacted by these items but offset by the impact of other discrete tax items.

12. Equity and stock-based compensation
Share repurchase program
In November 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program of up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock, which expires on October 27, 2026. The program does not require the repurchase of any minimum number of shares and can be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

13. Derivatives
Foreign currency derivatives
The Company uses forward currency contracts to hedge earnings from the effects of foreign exchange rates relating to certain of the Company’s intercompany and third-party receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as cash flow hedges by the Company and the terms of these instruments range from one to three months.
Interest rate swap contracts
The objective of the Company’s designated interest rate swap contracts is to offset the variability of cash flows in LIBOR indexed debt interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate related to the Term B-6 Loan and a portion of debt outstanding under the North American ABL Facility.
On June 4, 2021, the Company executed two interest rate swap contracts, both effective June 30, 2023, to replace existing interest rate swap contracts with maturities occurring between June 2023 and June 2024. These interest rate swap contracts contain an initial aggregate notional value of $250.0 million from June 2023 to June 2024 that increases to an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million from June 2024 to May 2028.
16

Table of Contents
The Company also uses undesignated interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate variability.
Cross currency swap contracts
Cross currency swap contracts are used to effectively convert the Term B-5 Loan’s principal amount of floating rate US dollar-denominated debt, including interest payments, to fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt. The cross currency swap contracts mature in November 2024. As of June 30, 2022, approximately 95% of the cross currency swap contracts are designated as a cash flow hedge.
The Company also uses undesignated cross currency swap contracts to manage interest rate variability and mitigate foreign exchange exposure.

The net amounts by legal entity related to forward currency contracts included in prepaid and other current assets were $0.1 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The net amounts related to forward currency contracts included in other accrued expenses were $1.1 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of swaps is determined by estimating the net present value of amounts to be paid under the agreement offset by the net present value of the expected cash inflows based on market rates and associated yield curves. Based on these valuation methodologies, these derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
14. Commitments and contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to pending or threatened claims, lawsuits, regulatory matters and administrative proceedings from time to time. Where appropriate the Company has recorded provisions in the consolidated financial statements for these matters. The liabilities for injuries to persons or property are in some instances covered by liability insurance, subject to various deductibles and self-insured retentions.
The Company is not aware of any claims, lawsuits, regulatory matters or administrative proceedings, pending or threatened, that are likely to have a material effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of any present or future claims or litigation or the potential for future claims or litigation and adverse developments could negatively impact earnings or cash flows in a particular future period.
Asbestos Claims
The Company is subject to liabilities from claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos. The claims result primarily from an indemnification obligation related to Univar Solutions USA Inc.’s (“Univar”) 1986 purchase of McKesson Chemical Company from McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”). Once certain conditions have been met, Univar will have the
18

Table of Contents
ability to pursue insurance coverage, if any, that may be available under McKesson's historical insurance coverage to offset the impact of any fees, settlements, or judgments that Univar is obligated to pay because of its obligation to defend and indemnify McKesson. As of June 30, 2022, there were approximately 220 asbestos-related cases for which Univar has the obligation to defend and indemnify; however, this number tends to fluctuate up and down over time. Historically, the vast majority of these asbestos cases have been dismissed without payment or with a nominal payment. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, it does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Unclaimed Property Audit
The Company and its subsidiaries were the subject of an unclaimed property audit request issued by the State of Delaware in 2015. On June 29, 2022, the State of Delaware notified the Company that it was closing its examination with a $0 finding.
Environmental
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that require environmental assessment or remediation efforts (collectively “environmental remediation work”) and from time to time becomes aware of compliance matters regarding possible or alleged violations of these laws or regulations. For example, over the years, the Company has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and/or similar state laws that impose liability for costs relating to environmental remediation work at various sites. As a PRP, the Company may be required to pay a share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of certain sites. The Company is currently engaged in environmental remediation work at approximately 125 locations, some that are now or were previously Company-owned/occupied and some that were never Company-owned/occupied (“non-owned sites”).
The Company’s environmental remediation work at some sites is being conducted pursuant to governmental proceedings or investigations. At other sites, the Company, with appropriate state or federal agency oversight and approval, is conducting the environmental remediation work voluntarily. The Company is currently undergoing remediation efforts or is in the process of active review of the need for potential remediation efforts at approximately 104 current or formerly Company-owned/occupied sites. In addition, the Company may be liable as a PRP for a share of the clean-up of approximately 21 non-owned sites. These non-owned sites are typically (a) locations of independent waste disposal or recycling operations with alleged or confirmed contaminated soil and/or groundwater to which the Company may have shipped waste products or drums for re-conditioning, or (b) contaminated non-owned sites near historical sites owned or operated by the Company or its predecessors from which contamination is alleged to have arisen.
In determining the appropriate level of environmental reserves, the Company considers several factors such as information obtained from investigatory studies; the scope of remediation (including any changes over time); the interpretation, application and enforcement of laws and regulations; changes in the costs of remediation programs; the development of alternative cleanup technologies and methods; and the relative level of the Company’s involvement at various sites for which the Company is allegedly associated. The level of annual expenditures for remedial, monitoring and investigatory activities will change in the future as major components of planned remediation activities are completed and the scope, timing and costs of existing activities are changed. Project lives, and therefore cash flows, range from 2 to 30 years, depending on the specific site and type of remediation project.
Although the Company believes that its reserves are adequate for environmental contingencies, it is possible, due to the uncertainties noted above, that additional reserves could be required in the future that could have a material effect on the overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a particular period.

16. Segments
The Company’s operations are structured into four reportable segments that represent the geographic areas under which it operates and manages the business. Management, including the Chief Operating Decision Maker, monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Management evaluates performance of its reportable segments on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the sum of consolidated net income; depreciation; amortization; net interest expense; income tax expense; impairment charges; gain on sale of business; other operating expenses, net and other income, net (for both, see “Note 6: Supplemental financial information”).
Transfer prices between reportable segments are set on an arms-length basis in a similar manner to transactions with third parties. Corporate operating expenses that directly benefit segments have been allocated to the reportable segments. Allocable operating expenses are identified through a review process by management. The allocable operating expenses are assigned to the reportable segments on a basis that reasonably approximates the use of services, which is generally measured based on a weighted distribution of margin, asset, headcount or time spent.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is based on financial data derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP and certain other financial data that is prepared using non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP measure, see “Analysis of Segment Results” within this Item and “Note 16: Segments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this Item for more information about our use of non-GAAP financial measures.
Our MD&A is provided in addition to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited consolidated financial information and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Overview
Univar Solutions is a leading global solutions provider to users of specialty ingredients and chemicals and provider of value-added services to customers across a wide range of diverse industries. We purchase chemicals and ingredients from thousands of producers worldwide and warehouse, repackage, blend, dilute, transport and sell them to more than 100,000 customer locations across approximately 115 countries.
Our operations are structured into four reportable segments that represent the geographic areas under which we operate and manage our business. These segments are USA, EMEA, Canada and LATAM, which includes developing businesses in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.
Comparability of Results
Acquisitions and Divestitures
On April 1, 2021, we sold our Distrupol business within the EMEA segment. The sale of this business did not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2021, we acquired Sweetmix, a food ingredients and coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (“CASE”) specialty chemical distribution company in Brazil.
Constant Currency
We believe providing non-GAAP constant currency basis offers valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Currency impacts on consolidated and segment results have been derived by translating current period financial results in local currency using the average exchange rate for the prior period to which the financial information is being compared.
Market Conditions
We sell commodity and specialty chemicals and ingredients that are used in manufacturing processes and as components in other products. Our sales are correlated with and affected by seasonal fluctuations and cycles in the levels of industrial production, manufacturing output and general economic activity. The current business environment in the markets in which we operate consists of complex dynamics. A combination of global factors such as supplier shut-downs, port congestion, acute COVID-19 pandemic recovery demand and the Russia-Ukraine conflict has stressed already existing sustained supply chain constraints, product shortages and our pricing discipline in inflationary markets that continue to be atypical in magnitude and unknown in duration.
These market factors have also impacted the transportation market and coupled with continued energy price pressure, driver shortages and inflation, have resulted in higher operating costs. Additionally, shortages across a range of chemicals and ingredients have generally led to fluctuations in chemical prices globally, with corresponding impacts to sales and interim profits.
In such a dynamic environment, we believe remaining connected with our customers to understand demand and supply impacts on their operations is critical to our success. We believe our value as a distributor is heightened in the current environment as we work to meet demand requirements through our extensive network, installed asset base, transportation and digital assets, and supplier partnerships, supported by our network of Solutions Centers and technically trained professionals with deep industry knowledge.

Table of Contents
A summary of our sales channel and underlying end market performance as of June 30, 2022, with corresponding impacts from the current environment are as follows (percentages represent 2022 second quarter Consolidated Net Sales):
Chemicals and Services (65%) - We are leveraging our owned distribution assets to provide continuous supply to our customers in especially vital industries such as Chemical Manufacturing, Energy and Water Treatment. We have seen increased opportunities and growth in demand within traditional energy and clean energy technologies as higher oil prices have accelerated production and increased demand for sustainable solutions. Our ability to work with the largest global customers to de-risk their supply chain issues has driven especially strong results in the US and Canadian segments. Our industrial end markets are winning new business and better servicing existing business through our integrated supply chain, enhancing our value proposition of having the right material available in the right location for whenever our customers need it.
Ingredients and Specialties (35%) - Our global Consumer Solutions business has benefited new authorizations and effective our pricing discipline in inflationary markets. With our numerous new supplier authorizations, we are leveraging our technically trained salesforce to formulate new solutions for our customers in Personal Care and Pharmaceuticals. In Food, we repositioned in the market as Foodology and recently opened a new super innovation kitchen to help our customers innovate recipes to meet and create the latest trends in the marketplace. Within Industrial Solutions, we have seen tremendous growth in our Lubricants and Metalworking business as we combine our solvents capabilities with our technical formulations to service this market. Our CASE products have seen ongoing supply shortages; however, we are encouraged by the loyalty of many of our customers who have come to rely on our supply position to ensure they have the product they need. Household & Industrial Cleaning has seen ongoing growth from our specialty surfactants and enzymes portfolio.

The increase in gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) was primarily attributable to our pricing discipline in inflationary markets, operational execution and market share gains, partially offset by higher input costs. Refer to the “Analysis of Segment Results” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information.
Operating Expenses
Outbound freight and handling
Outbound freight and handling expenses increased $27.9 million, or 28.5%, and increased $52.4 million, or 27.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

On a constant currency basis, WS&A increased $21.5 million, or 7.0%, and increased $52.6 million, or 9.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily attributable to higher operating costs and variable compensation, partially offset by net synergies. Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2022 was further offset by an environmental recovery. Refer to the “Analysis of Segment Results” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 for additional information.
Other operating expenses, net
Other operating expenses, net decreased $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and decreased $53.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Refer to “Note 6: Supplemental financial information” in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. 
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation expense decreased $5.1 million, or 13.7%, and decreased $16.0 million, or 19.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives. On a constant currency basis, depreciation expense decreased $4.3 million, or 11.5%, and $14.8 million, or 18.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.
Amortization expense decreased $1.2 million, or 9.1%, and decreased $2.5 million, or 9.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to certain intangibles reaching the end of their amortizable lives.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 8.0%, and decreased $6.9 million, or 12.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings as well as lower interest rates on fixed debt. Refer to “Note 11: Debt” in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Gain on sale of business
Gain on sale of business was $87.6 million and $88.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to the sale of the Distrupol business. The six months ended June 30, 2021 also included adjustments to the sale price of the Canadian Agriculture services business
Other income, net
Other income, net decreased $0.6 million, or 18.2%, and increased $21.6 million, or 67.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Refer to “Note 6: Supplemental financial information” in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense was $58.6 million and $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates of 26.5% and 15.0% for the respective periods. Income tax expense was $123.3 million

Table of Contents
and $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates of 26.4% and 16.9% for the respective periods.
Our 2022 effective income tax rate was higher than the US federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to higher rates on foreign earnings, US tax on foreign earnings, US state income taxes and non-deductible employee costs. Our 2021 effective income tax rate was also impacted by these items but offset by other discrete tax items.
Results of Reportable Business Segments
Our operations are structured into four reportable segments that represent the geographic areas under which we operate and manage our business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance, which is used as the primary basis for the chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.
We believe certain other financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with US GAAP provide relevant and meaningful information concerning the ongoing operating results of the Company. These financial measures include gross profit (exclusive of depreciation), gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Such non-GAAP financial measures are referred to from time to time in this report, but should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance and should be considered along with the comparable US GAAP measures. See “Note 16: Segments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Analysis of Segment Results” within this Item and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this Item for additional information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from its operations and borrowings under its committed North American and European credit facilities (“credit facilities”). As of June 30, 2022, liquidity for the Company was $1,011.8 million, comprised of $234.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $777.0 million of available borrowings under our credit facilities. These credit facilities are guaranteed by certain significant subsidiaries and secured by such parties’ eligible trade receivables and inventory with the maximum borrowing capacity under these credit facilities of $1.5 billion and €200 million. Significant reductions in our trade receivables and inventory would reduce our availability to access liquidity under these credit facilities. We have no active financial maintenance covenants in our credit agreements, however, there is a springing fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) under the revolving credit facilities of 1.0x, applicable only if availability is less than or equal to 10% of the borrowing capacity. If the FCCR was applicable, the calculation would have been 7.4x as of June 30, 2022.
Our primary short-term liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance operating expenses, working capital, capital expenditures, other liabilities including environmental remediation and interest, possible business acquisitions, share repurchases and general corporate purposes. The majority of our debt obligations mature in 2026 and beyond. To the extent that our cash balances from time to time exceed amounts that are needed to fund our immediate liquidity requirements, we will consider alternative uses of some or all of such excess cash. Such alternatives may include, among others, the redemption or repurchase of debt securities or other borrowings through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Refer to “Note 11: Debt” in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to our debt obligations. Management continues to balance its focus on sales and earnings growth with continuing efforts in cost control and working capital management.
Access to debt capital markets has historically provided the Company with sources of liquidity, beyond normal operating cash flows. We do not anticipate having difficulty in obtaining financing from those markets in the future with our history of favorable results in the debt capital markets and strong relationships with global financial institutions. However, our ability to continue to access the debt capital markets with favorable interest rates and other terms will depend, to a significant degree, on maintaining our current ratings assigned by the credit rating agencies.
We expect our 2022 capital expenditures to be approximately $135 million to $145 million for maintenance and growth, including safety, cost improvements and ESG investments. Interest payments for 2022 are expected to be $85 million to $95 million. We expect to fund our capital expenditures and our interest payments with cash from operations or cash on hand.
We believe funds provided by our primary sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our liquidity, debt repayment obligations and capital resource needs for at least the next 12 months under current operating conditions.

Cash Used by Operating Activities
Cash used by operating activities increased $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in operating cash usage is primarily due to changes in trade working capital and other, net, partially offset by higher net income, exclusive of non-cash items.
Cash used by trade working capital, which includes trade accounts receivable, net, inventories and trade accounts payable, increased $212.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase in cash used by trade working capital is due to increased inventory purchase costs and higher trade accounts payable primarily attributable to increased inventory purchases in the current year.
The change in net income, exclusive of non-cash items, increased $252.5 million from $215.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $468.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cash used by other, net increased $123.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily attributable to accrued compensation and tax payments and timing differences related to other assets and liabilities.

Comparisons of results between current and prior periods are not intended to express any future trends, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor the results of our reportable segments separately for the purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, and evaluate performance using Adjusted EBITDA. Additionally, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets to align management compensation measurement with operational performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as the sum of consolidated net income; depreciation; amortization; net interest expense; income tax expense; impairment charges; (gain) loss on sale of business; other operating expenses, net and other income, net (for both, see “Note 6: Supplemental financial information” in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information). For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP measure, see “Analysis of Segment Results” within this Item and for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, the most comparable measure calculated
35

Table of Contents
in accordance with GAAP, see “Note 16: Segments” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We believe other financial measures, as defined below, that do not comply with US GAAP provide relevant and meaningful information concerning the ongoing operating results of the Company.
Gross profit (exclusive of depreciation): net sales less cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation);
Gross margin: gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) divided by external sales on a segment level and by net sales on a consolidated level; and
Adjusted EBITDA margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by external sales on a segment level and by net sales on a consolidated level.
We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing information on a constant currency basis provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages and other information by converting our financial results in local currency for a period using the average exchange rate for the prior period to which we are comparing.
The non-GAAP financial measures noted above are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. They are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors’ ability to analyze underlying trends in the Company’s business, evaluate its performance relative to other companies in its industry and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results.
