TREDEGAR CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar’s condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the condensed consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All such adjustments, unless otherwise detailed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature.

The Company operates on a calendar fiscal year except for the Aluminum Extrusions segment, which operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year basis. As such, the fiscal second quarter for 2023 and 2022 for this segment references 13-week periods ended June 25, 2023 and June 26, 2022, respectively. The Company does not believe the impact of reporting the results of this segment as stated above is material to the consolidated financial results. The Company may fund or receive cash from the Aluminum Extrusions segment based on Aluminum Extrusion’s cash flows from operations during the intervening period from Aluminum Extrusion’s fiscal quarter end and the Company’s fiscal quarter end. There was no intercompany funding with Aluminum Extrusions between June 25, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 that is included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”) but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2022 Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Impairment of Goodwill

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s reporting units with goodwill were Surface Protection in PE Films ("Surface Protection") and Futura in Aluminum Extrusions (“Futura”). No events or circumstances were identified during the second quarter of 2023 that indicate that Futura’s fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying amount.

However, manufacturers in the supply chain for consumer electronics continue to experience reduced capacity utilization and inventory corrections. In light of the continued uncertainty about the timing of a recovery for this market and the expected adverse future impact to the Surface Protection business, the Company performed a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis of the Surface Protection component of PE Films using projections that contemplate the expected market recovery and business conditions, as these events indicated Surface Protection’s fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying amount.

The Company estimated the fair value of Surface Protection at June 30, 2023 by: (i) computing an estimated enterprise value (“EV”) utilizing the discounted cash flow method (the “DCF Method”), (ii) applying adjustments for any surplus or deficient working capital, (iii) adding cash and cash equivalents, and (iv) subtracting interest-bearing debt. The DCF Method was used since Surface Protection’s projections reflect the expected recovery from the weak market demand, competitive pricing and cash flows associated with new surface protection products, applications, customers, production efficiencies, and cost savings.

The analysis concluded that the fair value of Surface Protection was less than its carrying value, thus a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $15.4 million ($11.9 million after deferred income tax benefits) was recognized during the second quarter of 2023.

Given the uncertain demand for Surface Protections products, it is reasonably possible that the cash flow estimates used in deriving such fair value measurements may change in the future. The Surface Protection reporting unit had goodwill of $41.9 million and $57.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Accounting Standards Adopted

No Accounting Standard Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board were adopted during the second quarter of 2023.

2. ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

4. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Tredegar sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plan covering certain current and former U.S. employees. As of January 31, 2018, the plan no longer accrued benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing all future benefits under the plan. On February 10, 2022, Tredegar announced the initiation of a process to terminate and settle its frozen defined benefit pension plan. In connection therewith, on February 9, 2022, the Company contributed $50 million to the pension plan (the “Special Contribution”). The Company estimates that, with the Special Contribution, there will be no required minimum contributions to the pension plan until final settlement.

Tredegar also has a non-qualified supplemental pension plan covering certain employees. Effective December 31, 2005, further participation in this plan was terminated and benefit accruals for existing participants were frozen. Pension expense recognized for this plan was immaterial in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. This information has been included in the pension benefit table below.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the pension and other postretirement benefit programs reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are shown below:


	Pension Benefits				Other Post-Retirement Benefits
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Service cost	$	—	$	—	$	3	$	5

Amortization of prior service costs, (gains) losses and net transition asset	2,982		3,302		(59)		(34)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	3,403	$	3,484	$	15	$	22

	Pension Benefits				Other Post-Retirement Benefits
	Six Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Service cost	$	—	$	—	$	6	$	10
Interest cost	6,056		4,450		142		102
Expected return on plan assets	(5,214)		(4,098)		—		—
Amortization of prior service costs, (gains) losses and net transition asset	5,965		6,586		(118)		(68)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	6,807	$	6,938	$	30	$	44

Pension and other postretirement liabilities were $36.4 million and $35.7 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively ($0.7 million included in “Accrued expenses” at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with the remainder included in “Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets).

Tredegar funds its other postretirement benefits on a claims-made basis; for 2023, the Company anticipates the amount will be consistent with amounts paid for the year ended December 31, 2022, or approximately $0.5 million.

5. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Other income (expense), net consists of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Gain on investment in kaléo(a)	$	—	$	1,406	$	262	$	1,406
COVID-19-related expenses, net of relief (b)	—		(96)		—		(308)




Other	(20)		32		(2)		(57)
Total	$	(20)	$	1,342	$	260	$	1,041
(a) In January 2023, additional cash consideration of $0.3 million was received related to the customary post-closing adjustments on the sale of the investment in kaleo, Inc ("kaléo"), which was sold in December 2021. (b) Costs associated with operating under COVID-19 conditions include employee overtime expenses associated with absenteeism, personal protective equipment supplies and facility maintenance.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, determined as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,
(In thousands)	2023	2022	2023	2022
Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share	34,079	33,814	33,988	33,734
Incremental dilutive shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock	—	40	—	42
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share	34,079	33,854	33,988	33,776

Incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock are computed under the treasury stock method using the average market price during the related period. The Company had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, so there is no dilutive impact for such shares. If the Company had reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock would have been 3,019,333 and 2,830,849, respectively. The average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock were 2,525,104 and 2,501,406 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

7. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

8. DERIVATIVES

Tredegar uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging margin exposure from fixed-price forward sales contracts in Aluminum Extrusions and exposure from currency volatility that exists as part of ongoing business operations in Flexible Packaging Films. These derivative financial instruments are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. If individual derivative instruments with the same counterparty can be settled on a net basis, the Company records the corresponding derivative fair values as a net asset or net liability.

In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the future sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge margin exposure created from the fixing of future sales prices relative to volatile raw material (aluminum) costs, Aluminum Extrusions enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled purchases for the firm sales commitments. The fixed-price firm sales commitments and related hedging instruments have durations generally no longer than 12 months. The notional amount of aluminum futures contracts that hedged future purchases of aluminum to meet fixed-price forward sales contract obligations was $17.0 million (11.1 million pounds of aluminum) at June 30, 2023 and $30.7 million (20.3 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 2022.

The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of aluminum futures contract fair values (Level 2) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
(In thousands)	Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Asset derivatives: Aluminum futures contracts	Prepaid expenses and other	$	—	Prepaid expenses and other	$	48

Liability derivatives: Aluminum futures contracts	Accrued expenses	(3,050)		Accrued expenses	(3,260)
Aluminum futures contracts	Other non-current liabilities	(255)		Other non-current liabilities	(369)
Net asset (liability)		$	(3,305)		$	(3,581)

In the event that a counterparty to an aluminum fixed-price forward sales contract chooses not to take delivery of its aluminum extrusions, the customer is contractually obligated to compensate Aluminum Extrusions for any losses on the related aluminum futures and/or forward contracts through the date of cancellation.

The Company's earnings are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk primarily through the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company estimates that the net mismatch translation exposure for the Flexible Packaging Film's business unit in Brazil (“Terphane Ltda.”) of its sales and raw materials quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars and its variable conversion, fixed conversion and sales, general and administrative costs (before depreciation and amortization) quoted or priced in Brazilian Real ("R$") will result in an annual net cost of R$177 million for the full year of 2023.

Terphane Ltda. had the following outstanding foreign exchange average forward rate contracts to purchase Brazilian Real and sell U.S. Dollars as of June 30, 2023:


USD Notional Amount (000s)	Average Forward Rate Contracted on USD/BRL	R$ Equivalent Amount (000s)	Applicable Month	Estimated % of Terphane Ltda. R$ Operating Cost Exposure Hedged



$2,154	5.6378	R$12,144	Jul-23	83%

These foreign currency exchange contracts have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of Terphane Ltda.’s forecasted sales to customers quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars over that period. By changing the currency risk associated with these U.S. Dollar sales, the derivatives have the effect of offsetting operating costs quoted or priced in Brazilian Real and decreasing the net exposure to Brazilian Real in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of foreign currency forward contract fair values (Level 2) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
(In thousands)	Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Asset derivatives: Foreign currency forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other	$	2,974	Prepaid expenses and other	$	781
Foreign currency forward contracts	Other assets	723		Other assets	33
Liability derivatives: Foreign currency forward contracts	Accrued expenses	—		Other non-current liabilities	(3)
Net asset (liability)		$	3,697		$	811

These derivative contracts involve elements of market risk that are not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, including the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to any forward purchase commitments are major aluminum brokers and suppliers, and the counterparties to any aluminum futures contracts are major financial institutions. Fixed-price forward sales contracts are only made available to the best and most credit-worthy customers. The counterparties to the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts are major financial institutions.

The pre-tax effect on net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges and described in the previous paragraphs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is summarized in the table below:


	Cash Flow Derivative Hedges
	Three Months Ended June 30,
	Aluminum Futures Contracts				Foreign Currency Forwards
(In thousands)	2023		2022		2023				2022
Amount of pre-tax gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)	$	557	$	(9,923)	$	—	$	1,931	$	—	$	(1,758)

As of June 30, 2023, the Company expects $1.8 million of unrealized after-tax losses on aluminum and foreign currency derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net gains or losses realized, from previously unrealized net gains or losses on hedges that had been discontinued, were not material.

9. INCOME TAXES

Tredegar recorded tax benefit of $3.0 million on pre-tax loss of $22.9 million in the first six months of 2023. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the first six months of 2023 was 13.1%, compared to 16.9% in the first six months of 2022. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a pre-tax loss in first six months of 2023 versus pre-tax income in first six months of 2022, lower Brazil tax incentives, a discrete charge in the second quarter of 2023 for a Brazil tax law change and a large discrete benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2022, resulting from the implementation of new U.S. tax regulations associated with foreign tax credits published by the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service on January 4, 2022. These regulations overhauled various components of the foreign tax credit regime including the determination of creditable foreign taxes and limit the amount of foreign taxes that are creditable against U.S. income taxes. As the result of these regulations, future Brazilian income tax under Brazil tax law in place at that time would have been deductible, but not creditable, in the U.S. The accounting rules require a reduction of the U.S. deferred tax liability previously established related to anticipated future income from Brazil. The tax effect of the reduction of the U.S. deferred tax liability resulted in the discrete tax benefit described above. In the second quarter of 2023, Brazil enacted new tax legislation which will likely cause the Brazil income tax to once again be creditable after 2023. This law change caused a partial reversal of the discrete tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2022 described above, which increased the deferred tax liability related to anticipated future income from Brazil. Total deferred tax assets increased during the second quarter of 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to changes in other comprehensive income, increase in net operational loss and decrease in deferred tax liability related to the goodwill impairment that took place in second quarter of 2023.

Tredegar accrues U.S. federal income taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries where required. However, due to changes in the taxation of dividends under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Tredegar will only record U.S. federal income taxes on unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries where Tredegar cannot take steps to eliminate any potential tax on future distributions from its foreign subsidiaries.

The Brazilian federal statutory income tax rate is a composite of 34.0% (25.0% of income tax and 9.0% of social contribution on income). Terphane Ltda.’s manufacturing facility in Brazil is the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allow for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate to 15.25% levied on the operating profit on certain of its products. The incentives have been granted for a 10-year period, from the commencement date of January 1, 2015 and expiring at the end of 2024. The benefit from the tax incentives was $0.4 million and $2.6 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Tredegar and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S., various states, and jurisdictions outside the U.S. With exceptions for some U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions, Tredegar and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2023 are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

10. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company’s business segments are Aluminum Extrusions, PE Films, and Flexible Packaging Films. Information by business segment is reported below. There are no accounting transactions between segments and no allocations to segments.

The Company’s reportable segments are based on its method of internal reporting, which is generally segregated by differences in products. Accounting standards for presentation of segments require an approach based on the way the Company organizes the segments for making operating decisions and how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses performance. EBITDA from ongoing operations is the key profitability measure used by the CODM (Tredegar’s President and Chief Executive Officer) for purposes of assessing financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. This measure is separately included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM.

The following table presents net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

11. SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING

The Company has supply chain finance service agreements with third-party financial institutions to provide platforms that facilitate the ability of participating suppliers to finance payment obligations from the Company with the third-party financial institution. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not affected by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the supply chain finance agreements. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $14.6 million and $25.9 million, respectively, of the Company’s accounts payable were financed by participating suppliers through third-party financial institutions.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Closure of PE Films Technical Center

On August 3, 2023, the Company adopted a plan to close the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA and reduce its efforts to develop and sell films supporting the semiconductor market. Future research & development activities for PE Films will be performed at the facility in Pottsville, PA. PE Films continues to have new business opportunities primarily relating to surface protection films that protect components of flat panel and flexible displays. The Company anticipates all activities to cease at the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA, by the end of 2023. The Company expects to recognize cash costs associated with exit activities of $1.8 million for: (i) severance and related costs ($0.9 million), (ii) vacating the facility lease ($0.6 million payable through June 2025), and (iii) building closure costs ($0.3 million). In addition, the Company expects non-cash asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation of up to $4.5 million. Net annual cash savings of $3.4 million are anticipated, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Entry into an Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Suspension of Regular Quarterly Dividend

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, to reduce the risk of potential violations of the primary financial restrictive covenants in its five-year, revolving, secured credit facility that matures on June 29, 2027 (the "Credit Agreement"), the Company (i) suspended its regular quarterly dividend (which had an annual cash outlay of approximately $17.7 million) and (ii) amended the Credit Agreement, effective August 3, 2023, to:

a.Change the fiscal quarter maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant from 4.0x to: (i) 5.0x for the quarters ending September 30, 2023 through March 31, 2024, (ii) 4.75x for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, (iii) 4.25 for the quarter ending September 30, 2024, and (iv) 4.0x for the quarter ending December 31, 2024 and thereafter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting standards in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the 2022 Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so Tredegar considers these to be its critical accounting policies. Since December 31, 2022, there have been no changes in these policies or estimates that have had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Business Overview

Tredegar Corporation is an industrial manufacturer with three primary businesses: custom aluminum extrusions for the North American building and construction ("B&C"), automotive and specialty end-use markets through its Aluminum Extrusions segment; surface protection films for high-technology applications in the global electronics industry through its PE Films segment; and specialized polyester films primarily for the Latin American flexible packaging market through its Flexible Packaging Films segment. With approximately 1,800 employees, the Company operates manufacturing facilities in North America, South America, and Asia.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") from ongoing operations is the measure of segment profit and loss used by Tredegar’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for purposes of assessing financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. This measure is separately included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM.

Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure included in the reconciliation of segment financial information to consolidated results for the Company in Note 10. It is not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar's ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP. We believe that EBIT is a widely understood and utilized metric that is meaningful to certain investors and that including this financial metric in the reconciliation of management’s performance metric, EBITDA from ongoing operations, provides useful information to those investors that primarily utilize EBIT to analyze the Company’s core operations.

Second quarter 2023 net income (loss) was $(18.9) million ($(0.56) per diluted share) compared with net income (loss) of $14.9 million ($0.44 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2022.

Second Quarter Financial Results Highlights

•EBITDA from ongoing operations for Aluminum Extrusions was $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus $21.9 million in the second quarter of last year. EBITDA from ongoing operations during the last four quarters has been weak, in a range of $8.9 to $14.6 million.

◦Sales volume of 35.5 million pounds in the second quarter of 2023 was relatively consistent with the first quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2022 but declined significantly versus 49.0 million pounds in the second quarter of last year.

◦Open orders at the end of the second quarter of 2023 were 20 million pounds (versus 27 million pounds at the end of the first quarter of 2023), which is below the quarterly range of 21 to 27 million pounds in 2019 before pandemic-related disruptions that resulted in excessive open orders, which peaked in the first quarter of 2022 at approximately 100 million pounds.

◦While open orders have declined over the past year, Aluminum Extrusions has realized three sequential quarters of net booking growth.

•EBITDA from ongoing operations for PE Films was $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 as very weak conditions persisted in the consumer electronics market. EBITDA from ongoing operations during the last four quarters has been low with a range of negative $2.6 million to positive $1.8 million.

•EBITDA from ongoing operations for Flexible Packaging Films was $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2023 versus $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower sales volume, which the Company believes is mainly due to customer inventory corrections, lower margins and unfavorable cost variances.

The Company recognized a net loss for the second quarter of 2023, with all business segments and their respective markets experiencing depressed conditions, which the Company believes can be traced to the residual impact of the pandemic.

The timing of recovery for our businesses remains uncertain and has been slow in occurring. Debt, net of cash, declined during the quarter as a result of improvements in working capital, with further improvements anticipated by year end.

Other losses related to asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gains and losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items are described in Results of Operations below.

Results of Operations

Second Quarter of 2023 Compared with the Second Quarter of 2022

The following table presents a bridge of consolidated net income (loss) from the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2023 with management's related discussion and analysis below the table.


(In thousands)
Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2022	$	14,869

Sales	(96,196)
Other income (expense), net	(1,362)
Total	(97,558)
Increase (decrease) in income from (increases) decreases in the following items:
Cost of goods sold	64,821

Income tax expense (benefit)	(3,331)
Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2023	$	(18,922)

Sales in the second quarter of 2023 decreased by $96.2 million compared with the second quarter of 2022. Net sales (sales less freight) in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $68.5 million, primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in prices to cover higher operating costs. Net sales in PE Films decreased $15.5 million, primarily due to continuing weak market demand and unfavorable product mix. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films decreased $8.4 million, primarily due to lower sales volume, lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs and unfavorable product mix. For more information on net sales and volume, see the Segment Operations Review below.

Other income (expense), net was $(20) thousand in the second quarter of 2023 compared to other income (expense), net of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. The change in other income (expense), net is primarily due to cash consideration of $1.4 million received in May 2022 related to the customary post-closing adjustments on the sale of the investment in kaleo, Inc. ("kaléo"), which was sold in December 2021. See Note 5 for additional information.

Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales (gross profit margin) was 9.9% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 16.5% in the second quarter of 2022. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions decreased primarily due to lower sales volume, higher labor and employee-related costs, lower labor productivity, lower pricing and higher supply expense associated with inflationary costs, partially offset by lower utility costs and lower freight rates. Additionally, the timing of the flow through under the first-in first-out method of aluminum raw material costs passed through to customers, previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment, resulted in a charge of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus a charge of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. The gross profit margin in PE Films decreased primarily due to a lower Surface Protection contribution margin associated with a market slowdown, customer inventory corrections and the pass-through lag associated with resin costs, partially offset by overwrap films favorable pricing and mix. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films decreased primarily due to lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs and margin pressures, lower sales volume, higher fixed costs, higher variable costs and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by lower raw material costs.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and research and development ("R&D") expenses were 10.3% in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 7.5% in the second quarter of 2022. While second quarter SG&A expenses and sales decreased year-over-year, R&D expenses remained relatively consistent with the prior year period. Lower SG&A spending is primarily due to lower accruals for employee-related compensation and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset by higher professional fees associated with business development activities.

In the second quarter of 2023, a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $15.4 million was recognized, see the PE Films section in Segment Operations Review below for more information.

The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes for the second quarter of 2023 was 15.0%, compared to 27.3% in the second quarter of 2022. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a pre-tax loss in the three months ending June 30, 2023 versus pre-tax income in the three months ending June 30, 2022, lower Brazil tax incentives and a discrete charge in the second quarter of 2023 for a Brazil tax law change. See Note 9 for additional information.

Pre-tax gains and losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022 detailed below are shown in the statements of net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment table in Note 10 and are included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments” in the condensed consolidated statements of income, unless otherwise noted.

Sales in the first six months of 2023 decreased by $141.6 million compared with the first six months of 2022. Net sales (sales less freight) in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $93.2 million, primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in prices to cover higher operating costs. Net sales in PE Films decreased $26.5 million, primarily due to continuing weak market demand and unfavorable product mix. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films decreased $16.1 million, primarily due to lower sales volume and lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs, partially offset by favorable product mix. For more information on net sales and volume, see the Segment Operations Review below.

Other income (expense), net was $0.3 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to other income (expense), net of $1.0 million in the first six months of 2022. The change in other income (expense), net is primarily due to cash consideration of $0.3 million received in January 2023 compared to $1.4 million received in May 2022 related to the customary post-closing adjustments on the sale of the investment in kaléo, which was sold in December 2021. See Note 5 for additional information.

Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales (gross profit margin) was 11.7% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 17.7% in the first six months of 2022. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions decreased primarily due to lower sales volume, higher labor and employee-related costs, lower labor productivity and higher supply expense, including higher paint expense associated with a shift to more painted product in the first quarter of 2023 and inflationary costs for other supplies, partially offset by higher pricing and lower utility costs. Additionally, the timing of the flow through under the first-in first-out method of aluminum raw material costs passed through to customers, previously acquired at lower prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment, resulted in a benefit of $0.4 million in the first six months of 2023 versus a benefit of $5.5 million in the first six months of 2022. The gross profit margin in PE Films decreased primarily due to a lower Surface Protection contribution margin for previously disclosed customer product transitions and for non-transitioning products associated with a market slowdown and customer inventory corrections, partially offset by favorable pricing and mix for overwrap films. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films decreased primarily due to lower sales volume, lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs and margin pressures, higher fixed costs, higher variable costs and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by lower raw material costs.

As a percentage of sales, SG&A and R&D expenses were 10.4% in the first six months of 2023, compared with 8.5% in the first six months of 2022. While first half SG&A expenses and sales decreased year-over-year, R&D expenses remained relatively consistent with the prior year period. Lower SG&A spending was primarily due to lower accruals for employee-related compensation and lower stock-based compensation, partially offset by higher professional fees associated with business development activities.

In the first half of 2023, a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $15.4 million was recognized, see the PE Films section in Segment Operations Review below for more information.

The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes for the first six months of 2023 was 13.1%, compared to 16.9% in the first six months of 2022. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a pre-tax loss in first six months of 2023 versus pre-tax income in first six months of 2022, lower Brazil tax incentives, a discrete charge in the second quarter of 2023 for a Brazil tax law change and a large discrete benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2022, resulting from the implementation of new U.S. tax regulations associated with foreign tax credits published by the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service on January 4, 2022. See Note 9 for additional information.

Second Quarter 2023 Results vs. Second Quarter 2022 Results

Net sales (sales less freight) in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 36.0% versus the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in prices to cover higher operating costs. Sales volume in the second quarter of 2023 declined 27.5% versus the second quarter of 2022. Nonresidential B&C sales volume, which represented 53% of 2022 volume, declined 23.8% in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022. Sales volume in the specialty market, which represented 29% of total volume in 2022, decreased 32.7% in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022. Sales volume in the automotive market, which represented 8% of total volume in 2022, decreased 7.8% in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the Company observed slowing order input and order cancellations as customers continued to report high inventory levels, which carried into 2023. Open orders at the end of the second quarter of 2023 were 20 million pounds (versus 27 million pounds at the end of the first quarter of 2023 and 86 million pounds at the end of the second quarter 2022). This level is below the quarterly range of 21 to 27 million pounds in 2019 before pandemic-related disruptions that resulted in long lead times driving a peak in open orders of approximately 100 million pounds during the first quarter of 2022. In addition, data indicates that aluminum extrusion imports have increased significantly in recent years, and some of Bonnell Aluminum’s customers may have sourced, and continue to source, aluminum extrusions from producers outside of the United States. The Company is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to work with the U.S. Government to ensure a fairly traded market. Nonetheless, Bonnell Aluminum has experienced three sequential quarters of net booking growth. Net bookings were 16.9, 19.0, 20.4 and 28.2 million pounds in the third quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023, respectively.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2023 decreased $11.7 million or 53.3% versus the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to:

•Lower volume ($11.9 million), higher labor and employee-related costs ($0.7 million), lower labor productivity ($0.5 million), lower pricing ($1.0 million) and higher supply expense associated with inflationary costs ($0.8 million), partially offset by lower utility costs ($1.0 million), lower freight rates ($0.3 million) and lower SG&A expenses ($1.6 million); and

•The timing of the flow-through under the first-in first-out method of aluminum raw material costs passed through to customers, previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment, resulted in a charge of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus a charge of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2022.

First Six Months of 2023 Results v. First Six Months of 2022 Results

Net sales in the first six months of 2023 decreased 26.8% versus the first six months of 2022 primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in prices to cover higher operating costs. Sales volume in the first six months of 2023 decreased by 20.6% versus the first six months of 2022.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2023 decreased $21.0 million or 45.7% in comparison to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

•Lower volume ($16.1 million), higher labor and employee-related costs ($2.4 million), lower labor productivity ($1.0 million) and higher supply expense, including higher paint expense associated with a shift to more painted product in

the first six months of 2023, and inflationary costs for other supplies ($3.0 million), partially offset by higher pricing ($5.6 million), lower utility costs ($0.6 million) and lower SG&A expenses ($0.8 million); and

•The timing of the flow-through under the first-in first-out method of aluminum raw material costs passed through to customers, previously acquired at lower prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment, resulted in a benefit of $0.4 million in the first six months of 2023 versus a benefit of $5.5 million in the first six months of 2022.

Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization

Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum are projected to be $19 million in 2023 versus the previously disclosed projection of $26 million. The Company has implemented stringent spending measures to control its financial leverage (see “Net Debt, Financial Leverage and Debt Covenants” section for more information). In this regard, Bonnell Aluminum has reduced projected capital expenditures in the second half of 2023 to $5 million to mainly support continuity of current operations versus broader spending of $14 million during the first half of the year. The most significant reduction relates to the multi-year implementation of new enterprise resource planning and manufacturing execution systems ("ERP/MES"). This project is being reorganized with an extended implementation period that increases the utilization of existing dedicated internal resources over a longer period in place of more costly external consultants. As a result, the earliest “go-live” date for the new ERP/MES is likely in 2025. The ERP/MES project commenced in 2022, with spending to-date of approximately $21 million. Depreciation expense is projected to be $15 million in 2023. Amortization expense is projected to be $2 million in 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Results vs. Second Quarter 2022 Results

Net sales in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 49.3% compared to the second quarter of 2022. Sales volume in the second quarter of 2023 decreased in both Surface Protection and overwrap films versus the second quarter of 2022. Surface Protection sales volume in the second quarter of 2023 declined 54.2% versus the second quarter of 2022 and 26.9% versus the first quarter of 2023. Surface Protection sales continue to be adversely impacted by weak market demand for consumer electronics which began in the third quarter of last year. Manufacturers in the supply chain are experiencing reduced capacity utilization and inventory corrections. In addition, these market conditions are adversely impacting mix through reduced sales to our highest value-added customers. The timing of a recovery in Surface Protection remains uncertain.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2023 decreased $6.3 million versus the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to:

•A $7.7 million decrease from Surface Protection:

◦Lower contribution margin associated with a market slowdown and customer inventory corrections ($8.6 million), partially offset by lower SG&A and operating efficiencies ($0.7 million); and

◦The pass-through lag associated with resin costs ($0.1 million charge in the second quarter of 2023 versus a charge of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2022).

•A $1.4 million increase from overwrap films primarily due to cost improvements.

First Six Months of 2023 Results v. First Six Months of 2022 Results

Net sales in the first six months of 2023 decreased 42.3% compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to a decrease in sales volume in Surface Protection, as a result of the factors noted above. Sales volume declined 45.4% in Surface Protection in the first six months of 2023.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2023 decreased by $11.4 million versus the first six months of 2022, primarily due to:

•A $12.6 million decrease from Surface Protection:

◦Lower contribution margin for non-transitioning products associated with a market slowdown and customer inventory corrections ($12.7 million) and for previously disclosed customer product transitions ($0.7 million), partially offset by lower SG&A and other employee-related expenses and operating efficiencies ($1.2 million); and

◦The pass-through lag associated with resin costs ($0.2 million charge in the second quarter of 2023 versus a benefit of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2022).

•A $1.1 million increase from overwrap films primarily due to cost improvements ($1.5 million), partially offset by the pass-through lag associated with resin costs (a charge of $0.2 million in the first six months of 2023 versus a benefit of $0.2 million in the first six months of 2022).

Goodwill Impairment in Surface Protection

Manufacturers in the supply chain for consumer electronics continue to experience reduced capacity utilization and inventory corrections. In light of the continued uncertainty about the timing of a recovery for this market and the expected adverse future impact to the Surface Protection business, the Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis of the Surface Protection component of PE Films using projections that contemplate the expected market recovery and business conditions. The analysis concluded that the fair value of Surface Protection was less than its carrying value, thus a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $15.4 million ($11.9 million after deferred income tax benefits) was recognized during the second quarter of 2023.

Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization

Capital expenditures for PE Films are projected to be $3 million in 2023, including $1 million for productivity projects and $2 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of current operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $6 million in 2023. There is no amortization expense for PE Films.

Second Quarter 2023 Results vs. Second Quarter 2022 Results

Net sales in the second quarter of 2023 decreased 20.1% compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower sales volume, lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs and unfavorable product mix. The Company believes that lower sales volume was primarily due to customer inventory corrections. While sales volume in the second quarter of 2023 was still below expected normalized levels, it improved 20% over the first quarter of the year.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2023 decreased $7.4 million versus the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to:

•Lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs and margin pressures ($2.9 million), lower sales volume ($1.9 million), higher fixed costs ($1.1 million, primarily due to under absorption from lower production volumes), higher variable costs ($1.8 million, including higher costs resulting from quality issues and other costs associated with the shutdown of production lines to adjust production volumes to sales levels) and unfavorable product mix ($0.6 million), partially offset by lower raw material costs ($1.3 million) and lower SG&A expenses ($0.1 million);

•Foreign currency transaction losses ($0.2 million) in the second quarter of 2023 compared to foreign currency transaction gains ($0.6 million) in the second quarter of 2022; and

•Net favorable foreign currency translation of Real-denominated operating costs ($0.2 million).

First Six Months of 2023 Results v. First Six Months of 2022 Results

Net sales in the first six months of 2023 decreased 19.9% compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to lower sales volume and lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs, partially offset by favorable product mix.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2023 decreased $11.1 million versus the first six months of 2022 primarily due to:

•Lower sales volume ($4.9 million), lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs and margin pressures ($3.6 million), higher fixed costs ($2.1 million, primarily due to under absorption from lower production volumes), higher variable costs ($0.7 million, including higher costs resulting from quality issues) and unfavorable product mix ($1.3 million), partially offset by lower raw material costs ($1.6 million) and lower SG&A expenses ($0.1 million);

•Net unfavorable foreign currency translation of Real-denominated operating costs ($0.1 million); and

•Foreign currency transaction losses ($0.2 million) in the second quarter of 2023 compared to foreign currency transaction losses ($0.3 million) in the second quarter of 2022.

Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization

Capital expenditures for Flexible Packaging Films are projected to be $6 million in 2023, including $2 million for new capacity for value-added products and productivity projects and $4 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of current operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $3 million in 2023. Amortization expense is projected to be $0.1 million in 2023.

Corporate Expenses, Interest & Other

Corporate expenses, net in the first six months of 2023 decreased $2.0 million compared to the first six months of 2022 primarily due to lower accruals for employee-related compensation ($2.1 million) and lower stock-based compensation ($0.4 million), partially offset by higher professional fees associated with business development activities ($0.6 million).

Interest expense of $4.7 million in the first six months of 2023 increased $2.7 million compared to the first six months of 2022 due to higher average debt levels and interest rates.

Pension expense under GAAP of $6.8 million in the first six months of 2023 remained consistent with the first six months of 2022. In February 2022, Tredegar announced the initiation of a process to terminate and settle its frozen defined benefit pension plan. In connection therewith, the Company borrowed funds under its revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") and made a $50 million contribution to the pension plan (the “Special Contribution”) to reduce its underfunding and as part of a program within the pension plan to hedge or fix the expected future contributions that will be needed by the Company through the settlement process. The funds borrowed for the Special Contribution were effectively made available with proceeds received in December 2021 from the sale of the Company’s investment in kaléo. In addition, the Company realized income tax cash benefits on the Special Contribution of $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company received a favorable IRS determination letter, and government agencies and the Company expect the completion of the settlement process on or about October 31, 2023. Administrative costs for the entire settlement process with respect to the pension plan are estimated at $4 to $5 million.

The estimated underfunding of Tredegar’s frozen defined benefit pension plan was approximately $30 million at June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated underfunding of $28 million was comprised of investments at fair value of $218 million and a projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) of $246 million. GAAP accounting requires adjustment for changes in values of assets and the PBO only at the end of each year, even though these values change daily. The ultimate underfunded amount at settlement may differ from the current amounts, depending on changes in market factors, including with respect to buyers of pension obligations at the time of settlement.

Prior to the Special Contribution, GAAP pension expense was a reasonable proxy for the Company’s required minimum cash contribution to the pension plan. The Company estimates that, with the Special Contribution, there will be no required minimum cash contributions until final settlement. Pension expense under GAAP is projected to be approximately $14 million in 2023, which is mainly comprised of non-cash amortization of deferred net actuarial losses reflected in the Company’s shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive losses. Beginning in 2022, and consistent with no expected required minimum cash contributions, no pension expense is included in calculating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the Company’s revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit EBITDA").

Net capitalization and other credit measures are provided in Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company continues to focus on improving working capital management. Measures such as days sales outstanding (“DSO”), days inventory outstanding (“DIO”) and days payables outstanding (“DPO”) are used to evaluate changes in working capital. Changes in operating assets and liabilities from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 are summarized below.

•Accounts and other receivables decreased $5.4 million (6.4%).

◦Accounts and other receivables in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $6.8 million primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs. DSO (represents trailing 12 months net sales divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts and other receivables balances) was approximately 48.9 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 48.7 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

◦Accounts and other receivables in PE Films remained relatively flat. DSO was approximately 28.8 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023, which was lower compared to 30.3 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 due to shorter customer repayment terms associated with sales of lower margin product during the second quarter of 2023.

◦Accounts and other receivables in Flexible Packaging Films increased $1.0 million primarily due to sales to customers in 2023 that contain unfavorable terms. DSO was approximately 39.0 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 41.1 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

•Inventories decreased $41.1 million (32.2%).

◦Inventories in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $23.9 million due to decreased raw material levels as a result of slowing order input and order cancellations as customers continue to report high inventory levels. DIO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of inventory balances calculated on the first-in first-out basis) was approximately 57.5 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 53.6 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

◦Inventories in PE Films decreased $2.3 million due to lower raw materials and finished goods for overwrap films. DIO was approximately 68.3 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 66.8 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

◦Inventories in Flexible Packaging Films decreased $14.8 million primarily due to lower raw material purchases and lower finished goods levels as a result of lower sales volume. DIO was approximately 122.8 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 108.0 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

•Net property, plant and equipment increased $3.5 million primarily due to capital expenditures of $14.5 million and a $1.7 million favorable change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, partially offset by depreciation expense of $12.4 million.

•Identifiable intangible assets, net decreased $0.9 million (7.7%) due to amortization expense.

•Deferred income tax assets increased $0.7 million primarily due to changes in other comprehensive income, increase in net operational losses, and a decrease in the deferred tax liability related to the goodwill impairment. See Note 9 for additional information.

•Accounts payable decreased $32.6 million (28.4%).

◦Accounts payable in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $21.2 million primarily due to lower raw material purchases and favorable vendor terms. DPO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts payable balances) was approximately 56.8 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 64.2 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

◦Accounts payable in PE Films remained relatively flat. DPO was approximately 43.9 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 51.0 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

◦Accounts payable in Flexible Packaging Films decreased $11.4 million primarily due to lower raw material purchases. DPO was approximately 64.3 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023 and 72.4 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.7 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $9.4 million in the first six months of 2022. The change in operating activities is primarily due to the Special Contribution ($50 million) and improved working capital due to factors discussed earlier in this section relating to accounts and other receivables, inventories and accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15.6 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $12.1 million the first six months of 2022. The increase was due to higher capital expenditures ($2.4 million), partially offset by cash consideration of $0.3 million received in January 2023 compared to $1.4 million received in the May 2022 related to the customary post-closing adjustments on the sale of the investment in kaléo, which was sold in December 2021.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.9 million in the first six months of 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $18.7 million in the first six months of 2022. The change in financing activities was primarily due to

lower net borrowings ($24.5 million) under the Credit Agreement during the first six months of 2023 as compared to the first six months of 2022 when the Company borrowed funds and made a $50 million Special Contribution to the pension plan in February 2022 and lower deferred financing costs ($1.2 million).

The Company believes that existing borrowing availability, current cash balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy short term material cash requirements related to working capital, capital expenditures and debt repayments for at least the next twelve months. In the longer term, liquidity will depend on many factors, including results of operations, the timing and extent of capital expenditures, changes in operating plans or other events that would cause the Company to seek additional financing in future periods.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents held in locations outside the U.S. of $13.9 million.

As of June 30, 2023, Tredegar had a five-year, revolving, secured credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of $375 million and matures on June 29, 2027.

Net capitalization and indebtedness as defined under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2023 were as follows:


Net Capitalization and Indebtedness as of June 30, 2023
(In thousands)
Net capitalization:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	21,193

Indebtedness as defined in Credit Agreement:
Total debt	$	141,000
Indebtedness	$	141,000

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate equal to SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points ("Adjusted Term SOFR Rate") and an amount depending on the type of borrowing and commitment fees charged on the unused amount under the Credit Agreement at various Total Net Leverage Ratio levels as follows:


Pricing Under the Credit Agreement (Basis Points)
Total Net Leverage Ratio	Term Benchmark Spread	Commitment Fee
<= 1.0x	150.0	20
>1.0x but <=2.0x	162.5	25
>2.0x but <=3.0x	175.0	30
>3.0x but <=3.5x	187.5	35
>3.5x	200.0	40

At June 30, 2023, $141.0 million of the outstanding debt was principally priced at an interest rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the applicable credit spread of 175.0 basis points.

The primary financial restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:

•Total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.00x;

•Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00x; and

•Unlimited payments for dividends and stock repurchases during the term of the Credit Agreement so long as the Total Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.00x, and otherwise restrictions on payments for dividends and stock repurchases for the term of the Credit Agreement at $75 million (provided that the $75 million basket will reset at the end of each fiscal quarter when the Total Net Leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.00x).

Under the Credit Agreement:

•Total Net Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (a)(i) total indebtedness minus (ii) liquidity (the lesser of $50,000,000 and the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents) to (b) Credit EBITDA; and

•Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Credit EBITDA to interest expense.

The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. At June 30, 2023, based upon the restrictive covenants within the Credit Agreement, available credit under the Credit Agreement was approximately $33 million. Total debt outstanding was $141.0 million and $137.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Credit EBITDA is not intended to represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to either net income (loss) or to cash flow. The computations of Credit EBITDA, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement are presented below.

The Company had Credit EBITDA and a Total Net Leverage Ratio of $43.5 million and 2.76x, respectively, at June 30, 2023, which had significantly deteriorated from the Credit EBITDA and Total Net Leverage Ratio at December 31, 2022 of $84.4 million and 1.39x, respectively.

Tredegar was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2023. Noncompliance with any of the debt covenants could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or liquidity, in the event such noncompliance cannot be cured or should the Company be unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders. Renegotiation of the covenant through an amendment to the Credit Agreement could effectively cure the noncompliance, but could have an effect on its financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the covenant is renegotiated. In addition, the Company’s projections indicate further deterioration of the Total Net Leverage Ratio without paying dividends to between 4.0x and 5.0x through the quarter ending March 31, 2024.

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Agreement. To reduce the risk of potential violations of the primary financial restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement while the Company's businesses and markets are experiencing a downturn, the Company (i) suspended its regular quarterly dividend (which had an annual cash outlay of approximately $17.7 million) and (ii) amended the Credit Agreement, effective August 3, 2023, to:

c.Reduce the maximum borrowing availability from $375 million to $200 million.

d.Increase the drawn spread by 25 basis points across all levels of the interest rate pricing grid, beginning the quarter ending September 30, 2023.

e.Amend the restricted payments covenant to prohibit dividends and share repurchases during fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2023 through December 31, 2024.

To further decrease the risk of a debt covenant violation during a severe cyclical downturn, the Company is investigating the replacement of the existing EBITDA-based credit facility by the end of 2023 with other financing alternatives, including borrowings that would be permitted based on the level of secured receivables, inventories and machinery and equipment and sale and leaseback of existing Company-owned property.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Tredegar has exposure to the volatility of interest rates, polyethylene and polypropylene resin prices, Terephthalic Acid (“PTA”) and Monoethylene Glycol (“MEG”) prices, aluminum ingot and scrap prices, energy prices, foreign currencies and emerging markets. See Liquidity and Capital Resources above regarding interest rate exposures related to borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Profit margins in Aluminum Extrusions are sensitive to fluctuations in aluminum ingot and scrap prices as well as natural gas prices (natural gas is the principal energy source used to operate its casting furnaces). Changes in polyethylene resin prices and the timing of those changes could have a significant impact on profit margins in PE Films. Changes in polyester resin, PTA and MEG prices, and the timing of those changes, could have a significant impact on profit margins in Flexible Packaging Films. There is no assurance of the Company’s ability to pass through higher raw material and energy costs to its customers.

In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge its exposure to aluminum price volatility (see the chart below) under these fixed-price arrangements, which generally have a duration of not more than 12 months, the Company enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled deliveries. See Note 8 for additional information.

The volatility of quarterly average aluminum prices is shown in the chart below.

In February 2020, IHS reflected a 32 cents per pound non-market adjustment based on their estimate of the growth of discounts in prior periods. The 4th quarter 2019 average rate of $0.51 per pound is shown on a pro forma basis as if the non-market adjustment was made in the fourth quarter of 2019. In January 2023, IHS reflected a 41 cents per pound non-market adjustment based on their estimate of the growth of discounts in the prior periods. The 4th quarter 2022 average rate of $0.60 per pound is shown on a pro forma basis as if the non-market adjustment was made in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The price of resin is driven by several factors, including supply and demand and the price of oil, ethylene and natural gas. Selling prices to customers are set considering numerous factors, including the expected volatility of resin prices. PE Films has index-based pass-through raw material cost arrangements with customers. However, under certain agreements, changes in resin prices are not passed through for a period of 90 days. In response to unprecedented cost increases and supply issues for polyethylene and polypropylene resin, Tredegar Surface Protection implemented a quarterly resin cost pass-through mechanism, effective July 1, 2021, for all products and customers not previously covered by such arrangements. Pricing on the remainder of the business is based upon raw material costs and supply/demand dynamics within the markets that the Company competes.

Polyester resins, MEG and PTA used in flexible packaging films produced in Brazil are primarily purchased domestically, with other sources available mostly from Asia and the U.S. Given the nature of these products as commodities, pricing is derived from Asian pricing indexes. The volatility of the average quarterly prices for polyester fibers in Asia, which is representative of polyester resin (a primary raw material for Flexible Packaging Films) pricing trends, is shown in the chart below:

Tredegar attempts to match the pricing and cost of its products in the same currency and generally views the volatility of foreign currencies and the corresponding impact on earnings and cash flow as part of the overall risk of operating in a global environment (for additional information, see trends for the Brazilian Real and Chinese Yuan in the charts on the following page). Exports from the U.S. are generally denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s foreign currency exposure on income from foreign operations relates to the Chinese Yuan and the Brazilian Real.

PE Films is generally able to match the currency of its sales and costs for its product lines. For flexible packaging films produced in Brazil, selling prices and key raw material costs are principally determined in U.S. Dollars and are impacted by local economic conditions and local and global competitive dynamics. Flexible Packaging Films is exposed to foreign

exchange translation risk (its functional currency is the Brazilian Real) because almost 90% of the sales of Flexible Packaging Films business unit in Brazil (“Terphane Ltda.”) and substantially all of its related raw material costs are quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars while its variable conversion, fixed conversion and sales, general and administrative costs before depreciation & amortization (collectively “Terphane Ltda. Operating Costs”) are quoted or priced in Brazilian Real. This mismatch, together with a variety of economic variables impacting currency exchange rates, causes volatility that could negatively or positively impact EBITDA from ongoing operations for Flexible Packaging Films.

The Company estimates annual net costs of R$177 million for the net mismatch translation exposure between Terphane Ltda.’s U.S. Dollar quoted or priced sales and raw material costs and underlying Brazilian Real quoted or priced Terphane Ltda. Operating Costs. Terphane Ltda. has outstanding foreign exchange average forward rate contracts to purchase Brazilian Real and sell U.S. Dollars to hedge its exposure. See Note 8 for more information on outstanding hedging contracts and this hedging program.

Tredegar estimates that the change in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar for PE Films had no impact on EBITDA from ongoing operations for the second quarter of 2023 and an unfavorable impact on EBITDA from ongoing operations of $0.1 million in the first half of 2023 compared with the same periods of 2022.

Trends for the Brazilian Real and Chinese Yuan exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar are shown in the chart below.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

On November 1, 2018, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “November 2018 Form 8-K”) to disclose certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. For further information, see the November 2018 Form 8-K and Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018.

As of December 31, 2022, the results of management’s testing of the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of controls identified that the Company continued to have material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; however, the material weaknesses existing as of December 31, 2022 were limited to certain discrete items within the previously identified material weaknesses. As a result, management revised its original six step remediation plan that was designed with the assistance of management’s outside consultant, an internationally recognized accounting firm. As of June 30, 2023, the Company continues to execute its revised remediation plan, including the implementation of the new and revised internal controls over financial reporting.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2023.

Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023, to ensure: (i) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by or under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and overseen by the Board of Directors, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes policies and procedures that:

a.Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

b.Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management and directors; and

c.Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “2013 COSO Framework”). Based on management’s assessment, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The Company did not sufficiently attract, develop, and retain competent resources to fulfill internal control responsibilities and did not have an effective information and communication process that identified and assessed the source of and controls necessary to ensure the reliability of information used in financial reporting. As a consequence of these material weaknesses, the Company did not effectively design, implement and operate process-level controls across its financial reporting processes.

While these material weaknesses did not result in material misstatements of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, these material weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures in annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the deficiencies represent material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, which audited the 2022 consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K, expressed an adverse opinion on the operating effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan and Efforts to Address the Identified Material Weaknesses

To remediate the material weaknesses described above, the Company, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), has been pursuing the revised remediation plan to implement new and revised internal controls over financial reporting.

Through the second quarter of 2023, the Company has completed certain steps in its revised remediation plan, including:

a.Conducted interviews with relevant parties and confirmed management’s understanding of the internal control activities, including information used in the recording of transactions within the Company's financial reporting processes;

b.Completed a comprehensive review and update to the documentation of relevant processes with respect to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting;

c.Developed internal control remediation plans to enhance controls for deficiencies associated with the material weaknesses above, including an assessment of personnel skills and experience related to the design and operation of internal control activities;

d.Substantially implemented all new and revised internal controls to address the previously identified deficiencies associated with the material weaknesses above;

e.Expanded the internal control compliance department with personnel that have appropriate internal control experience and identified resources for positions relevant to internal controls that had previously experienced turnover; and

f.Executed a targeted training program to educate control owners on the requirements of internal control activities, including maintaining adequate documentary evidence for internal control activities.

The design and implementation of certain new and revised internal controls associated with expenditure and revenue processes for one remaining manufacturing location of the Aluminum Extrusion business is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2023.

The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The Company is committed to the improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and management continues to work with its outside consultant to assist in those efforts, as necessary. The Company continues to monitor the impact of employee turnover and other external factors on its remediation plan and its assessment of internal control over financial reporting. The Company cannot assure you when it will remediate the identified material weaknesses, nor can it be certain whether additional actions will be required. Moreover, the Company cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company is in the process of implementing certain changes in its internal controls to remediate the material weaknesses described above. Except as noted above, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

As disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2022 Form 10-K, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that can have a material effect on the operating results of our businesses and our financial condition. Except as set forth below, there are no material updates or changes to our risk factors previously disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Further impairment of the Surface Protection reporting unit’s goodwill could have a material non-cash adverse impact on our results of operations. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). The valuation of goodwill depends on a variety of factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and overall financial performance, as well as Company and reporting unit factors, and goodwill impairment valuations can be sensitive to assumptions associated with such factors. Failure to successfully achieve projections could result in future impairments.

Manufacturers in the supply chain for consumer electronics continue to experience reduced capacity utilization and inventory corrections. In light of the continued uncertainty about the timing of a recovery for this market and the expected adverse future impact to the Surface Protection business, as of June 30, 2023 the Company performed a goodwill impairment analysis of the Surface Protection component of PE Films using projections that contemplate the expected market recovery and business conditions. The analysis concluded that the fair value of Surface Protection was less than its carrying value, thus a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $15.4 million ($11.9 million after deferred income tax benefits) was recognized during the second quarter of 2023.

Further impairment to the Surface Protection reporting unit’s goodwill may be caused by factors outside the Company’s control, such as increasing competitive pricing pressures, continued weak consumer electronic market demand, lower than expected sales and profit growth rates, and various other factors. Significant and unanticipated changes could require an

additional non-cash charge for impairment in a future period, which may significantly affect the Company’s results of operations in the period of such charge.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company’s Credit Agreement contains financial and other restrictive covenants, including a restriction on the Company’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders. For more information on the Credit Agreement, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Item 5. Other Information.
