CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024 (this “Quarterly Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “indicate,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about the following matters:

•future financial performance, financial projections or estimates used, including any growth or expansion plans and opportunities;

•our ability to expand our fire safety business;

•our beliefs regarding certain trends and growth drivers in our fire safety business, including weather and climate trends;

•our ongoing commitment to manufacturing high-quality products in an environmentally conscious way as well as our ongoing commitment to promoting diversity;

•our beliefs regarding the sufficiency of our current sources of liquidity to fund our future liquidity requirements, our expectations regarding the types of future liquidity requirements and our expectations regarding the availability of future sources of liquidity;

•our beliefs regarding assumptions and estimates used in goodwill, including our beliefs regarding the methods and approaches a market participant would use;

•our ability to maintain an inventory position that is substantially balanced between our purchases and sales;

•our expectations and beliefs regarding accounting and tax matters;

•the expected outcome of litigation matters and the effect of such claims on business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date of this Quarterly Report, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to those summarized below:

•negative or uncertain worldwide economic conditions;

•volatility, seasonality and cyclicality in the industries in which we operate;

•our substantial dependence on sales to the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") Forest Service and the State of California and the risk of decreased sales to these customers;

•changes in customer relations or service levels;

•a small number of our customers represent a significant portion of our revenue;

•failure to continuously innovate and to provide products that gain market acceptance, which may cause us to be unable to attract new customers or retain existing customers;

•improper conduct of, or use of our products by, employees, agents, government contractors or collaborators;

•changes in the availability of products from our suppliers on a long-term basis;

•production interruptions or shutdowns, which could increase our operating or capital expenditures or negatively impact the supply of our products resulting in reduced sales;

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and General

Perimeter Solutions, SA (“PSSA”), a public company limited by shares (société anonyme) was incorporated on June 21, 2021 under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. PSSA is headquartered in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with business operations across the globe. PSSA's ordinary shares, nominal value, $1.00 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and trade under the symbol "PRM". The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of PSSA and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned by PSSA (collectively, the “Company”).

Business Operations

The Company is a global solutions provider for the fire safety and specialty products industries. Approximately 65% of the Company's 2023 annual revenues were derived in the United States, approximately 15% in Europe and approximately 14% in Canada with the remaining approximately 6% spread across various other countries. The Company’s business is organized and managed in two reporting segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products.

The Fire Safety business is a formulator and manufacturer of fire management products that help the Company’s customers combat various types of fires, including wildland, structural, flammable liquids and other types of fires. The Company’s Fire Safety business also offers specialized equipment and services, typically in conjunction with its fire management products to support firefighting operations. The Company’s specialized equipment includes air base retardant storage, mixing, and delivery equipment; mobile retardant bases; retardant ground application units; mobile foam equipment; and equipment that it custom designs and manufactures to meet specific customer needs. Significant end markets include primarily government-related entities and are dependent on approvals, qualifications, and permits granted by the respective governments and commercial customers around the world.

The Specialty Products segment produces and sells Phosphorus Pentasulfide ("P2S5") in several end markets and applications, including high quality specialty chemicals, various agricultural applications, various mining applications, and emerging electric battery technologies. Within the high quality specialty chemicals end market, currently the Company’s largest end market application, P2S5, is primarily used in the production of a family of compounds called Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphates (“ZDDP”), which is considered an essential component in the formulation of engine oils with its main function to provide anti-wear protection to engine components. P2S5 is also used in pesticide and mining chemicals applications.

Global Economic Environment

In recent years, the global economy and labor markets have experienced significant inflationary pressures attributable to ongoing economic recovery and supply chain issues, in part due to the impacts of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. While the Company has limited exposure in regions with active conflicts, it continues to monitor and take actions with its customers and suppliers to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures in the future. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with suppliers include aggregation of purchase requirements to achieve optimal volume benefits, negotiation of cost-reductions and identification of more cost competitive suppliers. While these actions are designed to offset the impact of inflationary pressures, the Company cannot provide assurance that they will be successful in fully offsetting increased costs resulting from inflationary pressure. In addition, interest payments for borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility are based on variable rates, and any continued increase in interest rates may reduce the Company’s cash flow available for other corporate purposes.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the entire fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management in connection with the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the valuation of goodwill, stock options, and founder advisory fees, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Policies

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to its consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Reclassification

In 2024, the Company changed the presentation of freight expense from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of goods sold, to better match freight expense with freight income. The change has been applied retrospectively to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior periods presented in this Quarterly Report. The impact to the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is presented in the following table (in thousands). There was no impact on previously reported balances in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet or statement of cash flows.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-02 “Codification Improvements,” which amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances, the references removed are extraneous and not required in order to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective January 1, 2025, and the Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to disclose disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts for specific standardized categories, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt and is currently assessing the potential effects of this standard.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure of incremental segment information, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The most significant provision of this standard requires the Company to disclose information about significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The Company will adopt this ASU retrospectively for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2024 and for interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the ASC. These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revolving Credit Facility

SK Invictus Intermediate II S.à r.l.’s, a private limited liability company governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“SK Intermediate II”), five-year Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) provides for a senior secured Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 9, 2026. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $20.0 million swingline sub-facility and a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Revolving Credit Facility allows SK Intermediate II to increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $143.0 million and (ii) 100.00% of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recent four-quarter period (minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of certain ratio debt permitted to be incurred thereunder). All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties, subject to customary exceptions.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to (i) an applicable margin, plus (ii) at SK Intermediate II’s option, either (x) Secured Overnight Financing Rate for the applicable corresponding tenor (“Term SOFR”) as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration, adjusted for certain additional costs or (y) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Wall Street Journal, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (c) the one-month Term SOFR rate plus 1.00% and (d) a minimum floor of 1.00%. The applicable margin is 3.25% in the case of Term SOFR-based loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate-based loans, with two step downs of 0.25% each based upon the achievement of certain leverage ratios.

Solely to the extent that on the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter, the utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding cash collateralized letters of credit and up to $10.0 million of undrawn letters of credit) exceeds 40.00% of the aggregate commitments, the Revolving Credit Facility requires compliance on a quarterly basis with a maximum secured net leverage ratio of 7.50:1.00.

The Revolving Credit Facility is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and each of SK Intermediate II’s existing and future wholly-owned material restricted subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions, and is secured by a first priority lien, subject to certain permitted liens, on substantially all of SK Intermediate II’s and each of the guarantors’ existing and future property and assets, subject to customary exceptions.

Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with securing the Revolving Credit Facility were $2.3 million, which are carried as a long-term asset in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a straight-line over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Notes

SK Intermediate II has $675.0 million principal amount of 5.00% senior secured notes due October 30, 2029 (“Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.00%. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year.

Table of Contents

The Senior Notes are general, secured, senior obligations of SK Intermediate II; rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of SK Intermediate II (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Facility); and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, are effectively senior to all existing and future indebtedness of SK Intermediate II that is not secured by the collateral. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by all of SK Intermediate II’s existing or future restricted subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility. The Senior Notes contain certain covenants limiting SK Intermediate II’s ability and the ability of the restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes) to, under certain circumstances, prepay subordinated indebtedness, pay distributions, redeem stock or make certain restricted investments; incur indebtedness; create liens on the SK Intermediate II’s assets to secure debt; restrict dividends, distributions or other payments; enter into transactions with affiliates; designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of assets, including equity interests of restricted subsidiaries; effect a consolidation or merger; and change the Company’s line of business. As of September 30, 2024 the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with securing the Senior Notes were $11.0 million, which were capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Senior Notes and included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Senior Notes which have been recorded as long-term debt, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Redeemable Preferred Shares

The Company issued 10 million redeemable preferred shares of PSSA (“Redeemable Preferred Shares”), nominal value $10 per share, valued at $100.0 million. The Redeemable Preferred Shares are entitled to a preferred annual cumulative right to a dividend equal to 6.50% of its nominal value. The preferred dividend will generally be paid 40.00% in cash and 60.00% in kind each year within three business days following the Company's annual general meeting. Holders of the Redeemable Preferred Shares have no voting rights (only protective rights).

The Company, under its articles of association (the "Articles") is mandatorily required to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Shares at any time prior to the earliest of (i) six months following the latest maturity date of the above-mentioned Senior Notes, (ii) nine years after the date of issuance of the Redeemable Preferred Shares or (iii) upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Company’s Articles. Due to the fact that the Redeemable Preferred Shares are mandatorily redeemable, the Redeemable Preferred Shares are classified as a liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and $1.8 million, $5.3 million, $1.7 million, and $5.1 million of dividends on these Redeemable Preferred Shares for the three and nine ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were recorded as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Preferred dividends in arrears were $11.7 million and $8.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Redeemable Preferred Shares have an aggregate liquidation preference of $100.0 million, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and are senior to the Ordinary Shares with respect to dividends and with respect to dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the redemption price was $111.7 million and $108.6 million, respectively.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, U.S. state and local tax and tax in foreign jurisdictions. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s effective tax rate was (102.24)% and (55.05)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and 16.39% and (2.29)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The primary differences between the effective tax rate and the amount computed by applying the Luxembourg statutory rate of 24.94% are related to losses not expected to be benefited in certain jurisdictions that have a valuation allowance, permanently non-deductible compensation, withholding taxes accrued on unremitted earnings and the impact of foreign tax rate differences.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Table of Contents

The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. While the Company expects to realize the remaining net deferred tax assets, changes in future taxable income or in tax laws may alter this expectation and result in future increases to the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 primarily relates to net operating loss and interest deduction limitation carryforwards that, in the judgment of the Company, are not more likely than not to be realized.

The Company evaluates its tax positions and recognizes only tax benefits that, more likely than not, will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50.0% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. As of September 30, 2024, it is not expected that the Company's unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within twelve months.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various claims, actions, and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including a number of matters related to the aqueous film forming foam litigation consolidated in the District of South Carolina multi-district litigation and other similar matters pending in other jurisdictions in the United States. The Company’s exposure to losses, if any, is not considered probable or reasonably estimable at this time.

Commitments

The Company has an agreement to purchase various types of capital equipment up to $5.0 million through October 2027. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has paid $3.2 million to the supplier and the remaining $1.8 million will be paid through April 2027.

9. EQUITY

The Company’s authorized share capital is $4,100.0 million, consisting of 4,000.0 million Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of $1.00 per share and 10.0 million Redeemable Preferred Shares with a nominal value of $10.00 per share. Each Ordinary Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

On May 23, 2024, subject to certain limits, the shareholders of the Company approved a proposal authorizing the Board to repurchase up to 25% of the Company’s Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the shareholders’ approval, being 36,310,028 Ordinary Shares, at any time during the next five years. The Board had re-established the limit for Ordinary Share repurchases at $100.0 million on February 21, 2024, which is within the repurchase limit approved by the Company’s shareholders’ on May 23, 2024.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 399 and 2,988,291 Ordinary Shares, respectively, under its Share Repurchase Plan. The repurchased Ordinary Shares were recorded at cost and are being held in treasury.

During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 19,160 Ordinary Shares related to 76,640 warrants that were exercised in September 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 145,240,338 Ordinary Shares, 33,766,800 warrants and 10,000,000 Redeemable Preferred Shares outstanding.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

2021 Equity Plan

The Company’s Board adopted, and its shareholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”). A total of 31,900,000 Ordinary Shares are authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan which provides for the grant of stock options (either incentive or non-qualified), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance share units and other share-based awards with respect to the Ordinary Shares. Shares associated with underlying awards that are expired, forfeited, or otherwise

Table of Contents

terminated without the delivery of shares, or are settled in cash, and any shares tendered to or withheld by the Company for the payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding will again be available for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 4,655,000 performance-based non-qualified stock options ("PBNQSO") that vest based on the achievement of certain performance goals to its employees and independent directors. The Company recognizes compensation costs for PBNQSO granted in 2024 based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The Company estimated the grant date fair value, and the resulting share-based compensation expense, using the Hull-White model. The Company records forfeitures as they are incurred. The grant date fair value of the PBNQSO is expensed proportionately for each tranche over the applicable service period. The fair value of PBNQSO is recognized as compensation expense beginning at the time in which the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement, over the remaining requisite service period.

In March 2024, based on the Company’s performance for 2023, its compensation committee verified and determined the Annual Operational Performance per Diluted Share (“AOP”) for 2023 to be $5.31. As the AOP for 2023 was below the minimum vesting AOP target of $12.10, employees separated from the Company through the date of determination of the 2023 AOP relinquished 240,000 options retained by them and such options were cancelled by the Company.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 15,134,171 PBNQSO outstanding. The exercise prices of these PBNQSO ranged from $2.94 to $14.00 per Ordinary Share and expire ten years from the grant date.

The table below summarizes the PBNQSO activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:


	Number of Options	Weighted-Average Exercise/ Conversion Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2023	11,244,171	$	9.30
Granted	4,655,000	$	6.43
Exercised	—	$	—
Forfeited	(525,000)	$	7.40
Cancelled	(240,000)	$	8.63
Outstanding at September 30, 2024	15,134,171	$	8.49	8.10	$	76,230
Options vested and exercisable	245,004	$	10.00	5.36	$	845

The assumptions used to fair value the PBNQSO granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 using the Hull-White model was as follows:


	September 30, 2024
Dividend yield	—		%

Expected volatility	39.00% to 44.00%
Expected term (years)	10.00
Suboptimal exercise multiple	2.50
Drift rate	3.72% to 4.42%
Weighted average exercise price of options granted	$	6.43
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.45

Non-cash share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Non-cash share-based compensation expense (benefit) recognized by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.7 million and $(0.1) million, respectively.

Compensation expense is recognized based upon probability assessments of PBNQSO that are expected to vest in future periods. Such probability assessments are subject to revision and, therefore, unrecognized compensation expense is subject to future changes in estimates. As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $21.6 million of total

unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested PBNQSO expected to vest, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.59 years.

Founder Advisory Amounts

On November 9, 2021, the Company assumed the advisory agreement entered into on December 12, 2019 by EverArc ("Founder Advisory Agreement") with EverArc Founders, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("EverArc Founder Entity"), pursuant to which the EverArc Founder Entity, for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, is entitled to receive both a fixed amount (the “Fixed Annual Advisory Amount”) and a variable amount (the “Variable Annual Advisory Amount,” each an “Advisory Amount” and collectively, the “Advisory Amounts”) until the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2031, respectively. Under the Founder Advisory Agreement, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity, at least 50% of the Advisory Amounts will be paid in Ordinary Shares and the remainder in cash.

The Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares (1.5% of 157,137,410 Ordinary Shares outstanding on November 9, 2021) for each year through December 31, 2027 and is valued using the period end volume weighted average closing share price of Ordinary Shares for ten consecutive trading days. The Variable Annual Advisory Amount for each year through December 31, 2031 is based on the appreciation of the market price of Ordinary Shares if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period and is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Because up to 50% of the Advisory Amounts could be settled through a cash payment, 50% are classified as a liability and the remaining 50% are classified within equity. For Advisory Amounts classified within equity, the Company does not subsequently remeasure the fair value. For the Advisory Amounts classified as a liability, the Company remeasures the fair value at each reporting date, accordingly, the compensation expense recorded by the Company in the future will depend upon changes in the fair value of the liability-classified Advisory Amounts.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount was calculated to be $121.2 million and $42.5 million, respectively, based on the period end volume weighted average closing share price for ten consecutive trading days of Ordinary Shares of $12.85 and $4.51, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $498.8 million and $71.3 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized an increase in the compensation expense related to the founders advisory fees-related party due to an increase in fair value for liability-classified Advisory Amounts of $184.2 million and $253.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a decrease in the compensation expense related to the founders advisory fees-related party due to a decrease in fair value for liability-classified Advisory Amounts of $24.5 million and $108.8 million, respectively.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurement

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities. Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility accrues interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The carrying amount of this floating rate debt approximates fair value based upon the respective interest rates adjusting with market rate adjustments. The carrying amount of the Company's Redeemable Preferred Shares equals the redemption price, which approximates fair value. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Notes, calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on bid prices obtained from a broker was approximately $649.1 million and $587.9 million, respectively.

The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

•Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

Table of Contents

•Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Liabilities by Hierarchy Level

The following tables set forth the Company’s liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measurements Using:
September 30, 2024	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Liabilities:
Founders advisory fees payable - related party	$	60,596	$	—	$	249,417	$	310,013

December 31, 2023
Liabilities:
Founders advisory fees payable - related party	$	23,972	$	—	$	35,647	$	59,619

The fair value of the founders advisory fees payable is based on the appreciation of the market price of Ordinary Shares if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period and is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying Ordinary Shares, the risk-free interest rate, the expected equity volatility, and the expected term of the Founder Advisory Agreement. See Note 10, “Share-Based Compensation” for discussion of the fair value estimation on the founders advisory fees payable.

Changes in Level 3 Liabilities

The reconciliations for all liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2024		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
	Founders Advisory Fees Payable - Related Party		Founders Advisory Fees Payable - Related Party

During the year ended December 31, 2023, due to a downward revision in the revenue forecast of the contingent earn-out eligible fire retardant product, the Company determined that $7.7 million in contingent earn-out payable to LaderaTech was no longer probable. Accordingly, the Company recorded a gain of $7.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. For this reason, the Company no longer recognizes a contingent earn-out payable as of September 30, 2024.

12. RELATED PARTIES

On November 9, 2021, the Company, EverArc and the EverArc Founder Entity entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Founder Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company assumed, and agreed to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of EverArc’s liabilities and obligations under the Founder Advisory Agreement.

In exchange for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive both the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and the Variable Annual Advisory Amount from the Company.

The Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares (1.5% of 157,137,410 Ordinary Shares outstanding) for each year through December 31, 2027 and valued using the period end volume weighted average closing share price for ten consecutive trading days of Ordinary Shares. The Variable Annual Advisory Amount for each year through December 31, 2031 is based on the appreciation of the market price of Ordinary Shares if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period and is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

For 2023, the EverArc Founder Entity was entitled to receive the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares or a value of $10.6 million, based on an average price of $4.51 per Ordinary Share (the “2023 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity did not qualify to receive the Variable Annual Advisory Amount for 2023 as the average price of $4.51 per Ordinary Share for 2023 was lower than the average price of $13.63 per Ordinary Share established in 2021 (the “2023 Variable Amount” and together with the 2023 Fixed Amount, the “2023 Advisory Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 74.6% of the 2023 Advisory Amount in Ordinary Shares (1,758,464 Ordinary Shares) and approximately 25.4% of the 2023 Fixed Amount in cash ($2.7 million). On February 15, 2024, the Company issued 1,758,464 Ordinary Shares and paid $2.7 million in cash in satisfaction of the 2023 Advisory Amount.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company calculated the fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amounts using the period end volume weighted average closing share price of Ordinary Shares for ten consecutive trading days of $12.85 and used a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount. These approaches resulted in fair values of $121.2 million for the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and $498.8 million for the Variable Annual Advisory Amount, of which 50% may be paid in cash and recorded as a liability and the remaining 50% would be settled in Ordinary Shares. While the entire instrument is subject to the fair value calculation described above, the amount classified and recorded as equity remains consistent while the amount classified and recorded as a liability is updated each period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized an increase in share-based compensation expense related to an increase in fair value for liability-classified Advisory Amounts of $184.2 million and $253.1 million primarily due to the increase in price of its Ordinary Shares.

As of September 30, 2024, 38.8 million Ordinary Shares issuable under the Founder Advisory Agreement towards Variable Annual Advisory Amount were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the contingency related to the instrument had not been met. In addition, 15.1 million PBNQSO, 8.4 million Ordinary Shares equivalent warrants and 9.4 million Ordinary Shares issuable under the Founder Advisory Agreement towards Fixed Annual Advisory Amount were excluded, as applicable, from the diluted earnings per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2023, 11.5 million PBNQSOs and 12.9 million Ordinary Shares issuable under the Founder Advisory Agreement were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as the contingencies related to such instruments had not been met. In addition, 8.5 million Ordinary Shares equivalent warrants were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s products and operations are managed and reported in two operating segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products.

The Fire Safety segment manufactures and sells fire retardant and firefighting foam products, as well as specialized equipment and services typically offered in conjunction with these retardant and foam products.

Interest income, interest expense, other income (expense) and certain corporate operating expenses are neither allocated to the segments nor included in the measures of segment performance by the CODM. The corporate category is not considered to be a segment. The CODM is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s CODM uses the segment net sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess the ongoing performance of the Company’s business segments and to allocate resources. The Company defines segment Adjusted EBITDA as

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (this “Quarterly Report”). This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such statements are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections and involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to our management as of the date hereof. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our 2023 Annual Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Overview

We are a global solutions provider, producing high-quality firefighting products and high quality specialty chemicals. Approximately 65% of our 2023 annual revenues were derived in the United States, approximately 15% in Europe and approximately 14% in Canada with the remaining approximately 6% spread across various other countries. Our business is organized and managed in two reporting segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products.

The Fire Safety business is a formulator and manufacturer of fire management products that help our customers combat various types of fires, including wildland, structural, flammable liquids and other types of fires. Our Fire Safety business also offers specialized equipment and services, typically in conjunction with our fire management products to support firefighting operations. Our specialized equipment includes air base retardant storage, mixing, and delivery equipment; mobile retardant bases; retardant ground application units; mobile foam equipment; and equipment that we custom design and manufacture to meet specific customer needs. Our service network can meet the emergency resupply needs of over 150 air tanker bases in North America, as well as many other customer locations globally. The segment is built on the premise of superior technology, exceptional responsiveness to our customers’ needs, and a “never-fail” service network. Significant end markets include primarily government-related entities and are dependent on approvals, qualifications, and permits granted by the respective governments and commercial customers around the world.

The Specialty Products segment produces and sells P2S5 used in several end markets and applications, including high quality specialty chemicals, various agricultural applications, various mining applications, and emerging electric battery technologies. Within the high quality specialty chemicals end market, currently the Company’s largest end market application, P2S5, is primarily used in the production of a family of compounds called ZDDP, which is considered an essential component in the formulation of lubricating oils with its main function to provide anti-wear protection to engine components. In addition, ZDDP inhibits oxidation of lubricating oil by scavenging free radicals that initiate oil breakdown and sludge formation, resulting in better and longer engine function. P2S5 is also used in pesticide and mining chemicals applications. We offer several grades of P2S5 with varying degrees of phosphorus content, particle size, distribution, and reactivity to our global customers.

Table of Contents

We operate four business units within our two reporting segments. The business unit structure is meant to promote the decentralized execution and accountability and maintain the geography and product-specific focus and granularity necessary to drive continued improvement in our key operational value drivers. Our key operational value drivers are profitable new business, pricing our products and services to the value they provide, and continued productivity improvements. Each business unit has a business unit manager, who is responsible for achieving targeted financial and operational results.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Growth in Fire Safety

We believe that our Fire Safety segment benefits from several secular growth drivers, including increasing fire severity, as measured by higher acres burned, longer fire seasons and a growing wildland urban interface resulting in a need for higher quantity of retardant use per acre and thereby necessitating an increase of the airtanker capacity. We believe that these trends are prevalent in North America, as well as globally and we expect these trends to continue and to drive growth in demand for fire retardant products.

We are also working to grow our fire prevention and protection business, which is primarily focused on expanding use of ground-applications for long-term fire retardant. This includes use of ground assets in response to active fires (protection), as well as proactive treatments around critical infrastructure and known high-risk areas (prevention). The protection business expands on our existing aerial support to enhance the ability of customers to effectively fight active fires. Fire prevention products can be used to prevent fire ignitions and protect property from potential fire danger by providing proactive retardant treatment in high-risk areas such as roadways and near critical infrastructure like electrical utilities and railroads. Treating these areas ahead of the fire season can potentially stop ignitions from equipment failures or sparks.

We have invested and intend to continue investing in the expansion of our fire safety business through acquisitions to further grow our global customer base.

Weather Conditions and Climate Trends

Our business is highly dependent on the needs of government agencies to suppress fires. As such, our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by weather as well as environmental and other factors affecting climate change, which impact the number and severity of fires in any given year. Historically, sales of our products have been higher in the summer season of each fiscal year due to weather patterns which we believe are generally correlated to a higher prevalence of wildfires. This is in part offset by the disbursement of our operations in both the northern and southern hemispheres, where the summer seasons alternate.

Net Sales. Net product and services sales increased by $145.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Net sales in the Fire Safety segment increased by $133.6 million, representing a $132.9 million increase in fire retardant sales and a $0.7 million increase in fire suppressant sales. Fire retardant sales increased $131.5 million in the Americas and $1.7 million in Europe, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in Asia Pacific. Retardant strength was driven by increasingly proactive use of air attack, and by extension of fire retardant, by our customers, as they combat the growing threat of wildfires, and by continued successful implementation of the Company’s strategies on profitable new business, as well as pricing our products and services to the value they provide. Fire suppressant sales increased by $0.7 million, primarily due to sales of fluorine-free foam concentrates. Net sales in the Specialty Products segment increased by $12.2 million, of which $8.0 million was an increase in Americas and $4.2 million was an increase in Europe. The growth in Specialty Products sales reflects an increase in purchases by our high-quality specialty chemicals customers.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $34.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in the Fire Safety segment of $30.2 million was primarily due to a $29.5 million increase in labor, material and freight costs as a result of the increase in revenue and a $0.7 million increase in other costs. The $4.2 million increase in the Specialty Products segment was due to a $4.5 million increase in raw material, manufacturing and freight, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in other costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in personnel related and share-based compensation expenses, a $1.0 million increase in professional fees, and a $1.5 million increase in other costs.

Founder Advisory Fees - related party. Founder advisory fees - related party represents the change in the fair value of the liability-classified Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and Variable Annual Advisory Amount (collectively, the “Annual Advisory Amounts”). The increase in the fair value of the Annual Advisory Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $184.2 million was primarily due to an increase in the average price per Ordinary Share from $7.75 as of June 30, 2024 to $12.85 as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in the fair value of the Annual Advisory Amount for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $24.5 million was primarily due to a reduction in the average price per Ordinary Share from $5.89 as of June 30, 2023, to $5.02 September 30, 2023.

Intangible Impairment. Intangible impairment decreased by $40.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was due to the prior year impairment on the carrying value of the technology underlying the contingent earn-out eligible fire retardant product acquired by the Company during the purchase of LaderaTech in May 2020.

Foreign Currency (Gain) Loss. Foreign currency gain of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 reflects weakening of the U.S. dollar, primarily against the Euro. Foreign currency loss of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 reflects strengthening U.S. dollar, primarily against the Euro.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by $41.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is due primarily to changes in earnings in jurisdictions that were not covered by a valuation allowance and the impact of non-deductible compensation and accrued withholding taxes on the annualized effective tax rate.

Net Sales. Net product and services sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $212.1 million compared to the same period in 2023. Net sales in the Fire Safety segment increased by $185.4 million, representing a $173.6 million increase in fire retardant sales and $11.8 million increase in fire suppressant sales. Fire retardant sales increased $174.4 million in the Americas, offset by decreases of $0.3 million in Asia Pacific and $0.5 million in Europe. Retardant strength was driven by increasingly proactive use of air attack, and by extension of fire retardant, by our customers, as they combat the growing threat of wildfires, and by continued successful implementation of the Company’s strategies on profitable new business, as well as pricing our products and services to the value they provide. Fire suppressant sales increased by $11.8 million, primarily due to sales of fluorine-free foam concentrates. Net sales in the Specialty Products segment increased by $26.7 million, of which $21.8 million was in the Americas and $4.9 million was in Europe. The growth in Specialty Products sales reflects an increase in purchases by our high-quality specialty chemicals customers.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $46.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in the Fire Safety segment of $38.9 million was primarily due to a $37.9 million increase in labor, material and freight costs as a result of the increase in revenue and a $1.0 million increase in other costs. The $7.6 million increase in the Specialty Products segment was due to a $9.4 million increase in raw material, manufacturing and freight, offset by a $1.8 million decrease in other costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $9.5 million increase in personnel related and share-based compensation expenses and a $6.5 million increase in other costs, partially offset by $3.0 million decrease in professional fees.

Founder Advisory Fees - related party. Founder advisory fees - related party represents the change in the fair value of the liability-classified Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and Variable Annual Advisory Amount. The increase in the fair value of the Annual Advisory Amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $253.1 million was primarily due to a increase in the average price per Ordinary Share from $4.51 as of December 31, 2023 to $12.85 as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in the fair value of the Annual Advisory Amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of

Table of Contents

$108.8 million was primarily due to a reduction in the average price per Ordinary Share from $8.86 as of December 31, 2022 to $5.02 as of September 30, 2023.

Intangible Impairment. Intangible impairment decreased by $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was due to the prior year impairment on the carrying value of the technology underlying the contingent earn-out eligible fire retardant product acquired by the Company during the purchase of LaderaTech in May 2020.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. Income tax expense increased by $55.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is due primarily to changes in earnings in jurisdictions that were not covered by a valuation allowance and the impact of non-deductible compensation and accrued withholding taxes on the annualized effective tax rate.

Business Segments

We use segment net sales and segment adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”) to evaluate operating performance by segment, for business planning purposes and to allocate resources. The following tables provide information for our net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2024				Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

Adjusted EBITDA for our Specialty Products segment increased by $18.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher net sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and the issuance of debt and equity securities. However, future operating cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the length and severity of the fire season, growth of the wildland urban interface and the availability of air tanker capacity, all of which could negatively impact revenues, earnings and cash flows, and potentially our liquidity if we do not moderate our expenditures accordingly. Our cash requirements, cash flows, indebtedness and available credit as of September 30, 2024 is discussed below.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of approximately $223.1 million, net cash flows generated from operations and availability under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024 will be sufficient to meet our current capital expenditures, working capital, and debt service requirements for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report. As of September 30, 2024, we expect our remaining fiscal year 2024 capital expenditure budget to cover both our maintenance and growth capital expenditures. We may also utilize borrowings under other various financing

sources available to us, including the issuance of equity and/or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, to fund our acquisitions, the Annual Advisory Amounts and long-term liquidity needs. Our ability to complete future offerings of equity or debt securities and the timing of these offerings will depend upon various factors including prevailing market conditions and our financial condition.

Warrants

On September 27, 2024, the Company executed a supplement (the “Supplement”) to the Warrant Instrument with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc. dated as of November 8, 2021 (the “Warrant Instrument”) permitting holders of all outstanding warrants of the Company issued to investors in connection with its initial public offering, which expired on November 11, 2024, to exercise their warrants on a cashless exercise basis. A copy of the Supplement, the notice provided to holders of warrants of the Company and the related press release can be found on our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 1, 2024.

Revolving Credit Facility

SK Invictus Intermediate II S.à r.l.’s, a private limited liability company governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“SK Intermediate II”), five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants.

Founder Advisory Agreement

The advisory agreement entered into on December 12, 2019 by EverArc ("Founder Advisory Agreement") with EverArc Founders, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "EverArc Founder Entity"), which is owned and operated by William N. Thorndike, Jr., W. Nicholas Howley, Tracy Britt Cool, Vivek Raj and Haitham Khouri (the "EverArc Founders"), pursuant to which the EverArc Founder Entity, for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, is entitled to receive both a fixed amount (the “Fixed Annual Advisory Amount”) and a variable amount (the “Variable Annual Advisory Amount,” each an “Advisory Amount” and collectively, the “Advisory Amounts”) until the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2031, respectively. Under the Founder Advisory Agreement, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity, at least 50% of the Advisory Amounts will be paid in Ordinary Shares and the remainder in cash.

For 2023, the EverArc Founder Entity was entitled to receive the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares or a value of $10.6 million, based on average price of $4.51 per Ordinary Share (the “2023 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity did not qualify to receive the Variable Annual Advisory Amount as the average price of $4.51 per Ordinary Share for 2023 was lower than the average price of $13.63 per Ordinary Share established in 2021 (the “2023 Variable Amount” and together with the 2023 Fixed Amount, the “2023 Advisory Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 74.6% of the 2023 Advisory Amount in Ordinary Shares 1,758,464 Ordinary Shares) and approximately 25.4% of the 2023 Fixed Amount in cash $2.7 million). On February 15, 2023, the Company issued 1,758,464 Ordinary Shares and paid $2.7 million in cash in satisfaction of the 2023 Advisory Amount.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates are consistent with those discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of its consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on February 22, 2024. Significant estimates made by management in connection with the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, stock options, founder advisory fees and realizability of deferred tax assets. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update our estimates, assumptions or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. For information on the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, short-term interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities in the ordinary course of our business. We have not engaged in hedging activities since inception and currently, do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers not denominated in a location’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness, intercompany investments and include exposures to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Norwegian krone and Australian dollar. We have elected to use the U.S. dollar for our Luxembourg entities. Transactions that are paid in a foreign currency are remeasured into U.S. dollars and recorded in the consolidated financial statements at prevailing currency exchange rates. A reduction in the value of the U.S. dollar against currencies of other countries could result in the use of additional cash to settle operating, administrative and tax liabilities.

Interest Rate Risk

For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on adjusted SOFR plus or base rate plus an applicable margin. At September 30, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Commodity Price Risk

Our realized margins depend on the differential of sales prices over our total supply costs. Generally, we attempt to maintain an inventory position that is substantially balanced between our purchases and sales, including our future delivery obligations. However, market, weather or other conditions beyond our control may disrupt our expected supply of product,

Table of Contents

and we may be required to obtain supply at increased prices that cannot be passed through to our customers. For example, some of our material supply contracts follow market prices, which may fluctuate through the year, while our product sales prices may be fixed on a quarterly or annual basis, and therefore, fluctuations in our material supply may not be passed through to our customers and can produce an adverse effect on our margins.

Effects of Inflation

We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials, labor and transportation. Accordingly, we continue to take actions with our customers and suppliers to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures in the future. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with customers include contractual price escalation clauses and negotiated customer recoveries. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with suppliers include aggregation of purchase requirements to achieve optimal volume benefits, negotiation of cost-reductions and identification of more cost competitive suppliers. While these actions are designed to offset the impact of inflationary pressures, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in fully offsetting increased costs resulting from inflationary pressure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, at September 30, 2024, PSSA has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including PSSA’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, PSSA’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
