Use of Estimates
The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management
to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reported period. Significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, including valuation allowances, contingent liabilities, provision for credit
losses, and pension plan assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial
statements for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to
be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, that requires entities
to disclose additional information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to
uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The new standard is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements but could result in disaggregation of the Company's tax footnote.
Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of
Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, that requires entities to disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption.
The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in disaggregation of the Company's income statement expenses.

Note 5. Income Taxes
Provision (benefit) for taxes was $13.9
million and $(18.2 ) million during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29, 2025. Provision for taxes was $15.6 million and $29.5 million during the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2024. The benefit from taxes for the six-month period ended June 29, 2025 relates to pre-tax losses, primarily as a result of the provision for litigation reserve and credit losses recorded in the first quarter of 2025. The effective tax
rate was 23.5 % for the three-month period ended June 29, 2025, as compared with 45.1 % for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 15.5 % for the six-month
period ended June 29, 2025, as compared with 31.2 %
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The lower rate in the current year was primarily due to the provision for the litigation
reserve and credit losses and the mixture of earnings.
As of June 29, 2025, the
Company had approximately $2.0 million of total unrecognized income tax benefits. Included in this amount were a total of $1.4 million of unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. While it is expected that the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.
The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued, relating to unrecognized income tax or benefit as part of
its provision for income taxes. The Company recorded net immaterial additions during the three-month period ended June 29, 2025 and had an
accrued balance of $0.4 million of interest and penalties as of June 29, 2025.
The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside the U.S. In certain situations, a taxing authority may
challenge positions that the Company has adopted in its income tax filings. The Company, with a few exceptions (none of which are material), is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, and international income tax examinations by tax
authorities for years prior to 2017.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions
affecting businesses. The Company is currently evaluating the full effects of the legislation on our estimated annual effective tax rate and cash tax position, but we expect that the legislation will likely not have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) released the Pillar Two Model Rules which aim to
reform international corporate taxation rules, including the implementation of a global minimum tax rate. The Company began implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules in the first quarter of 2024. The Company continues to assess the effect of the
Pillar 2 Model Rules in all jurisdictions and does not expect that Pillar 2 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are assessed for impairment, at least annually.
The carrying amount of goodwill was $915.9 million and $913.8 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The net change in goodwill from December 31, 2024 to June 29, 2025 is attributable to the
effects of foreign exchange.
Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization as of June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Note 8. Derivative Financial Instruments
As a multinational corporation with operations throughout the world, the Company is exposed to certain market risks. The Company uses a
variety of practices to manage these market risks, including, when considered appropriate, derivative financial instruments. The Company’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from interest rate and foreign currency exposures with gains
and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge them. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk management and not for trading or speculative purposes.
By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates and foreign currencies, the Company exposes
itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which
creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty, and therefore, it does not face any credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by
entering into transactions with major financial institutions.
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates, currency exchange
rates, or commodity prices. The market risk associated with interest rate and forward exchange contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the gain or
loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The Company subsequently reclassifies the effective portion of gain or loss into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is
recognized in earnings.
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to limit exposure to market fluctuations on floating-rate debt. In the second quarter of 2023,
the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. The fair value of this swap is an asset
less than $0.1 million at June 29, 2025
and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. As a result, the gains and losses associated with this interest rate swap are
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are
as follows:
|
●
|
Market approach - prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
|
|
●
|
Cost approach - amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost.
|
|
●
|
Income approach - techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations, including present value techniques,
option-pricing and other models.
|
The Company primarily applies the income approach for interest rate derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to
utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
MINERALS TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The fair value of our interest rate swap contract is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be
derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and is categorized as Level 2.

On November 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Refinancing Facility Agreement and Incremental Facility Amendment (the “Amendment”) to amend the previous credit agreement (the "Previous Credit Agreement"; the previous
credit agreement, as amended by the Amendment, being the "Amended Credit Agreement").
The Amendment provides for, among other things, a new senior
secured revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $400 million (the “Revolving Facility”), a portion of which may be used for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans, and a new senior secured term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $575 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving
Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility replace the facilities under the Previous Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, a $550 million senior secured term loan facility and a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The maturity date for loans and commitments under
the Revolving Facility is November 26, 2029 , and the
maturity date for loans under the Term Loan Facility is November 26, 2031 ; provided that the maturity dates of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility will be adjusted to the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Company’s 5.0 % Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) unless, prior to the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Notes, all amounts in excess
of $50 million of the Notes have been either (a) refinanced
with indebtedness permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement maturing later than 90 days after the scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Facility or of the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, or (b) repaid, discharged or repaid (other than with the proceeds of any indebtedness maturing earlier than 91 days after the scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Facility or of the
Term Loan Facility, as applicable). Loans under the Term Loan Facility amortize at a rate equal to 1.00 % per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments, and were issued with original issue discount at 99.875 % of par.
Loans under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a
rate equal to (a) for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, at the election of the Company, Term SOFR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375 % per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375 % per annum, (b) for loans denominated in Euros, adjusted EURIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375 % per annum and (c) for loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, SONIA plus an applicable margin
equal to 1.375 % per annum, subject in each case to (i) an
increase of 37.5 basis points in the event that, and for
so long as, the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter, (ii) an increase of 12.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the Net Leverage Ratio
is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter and (iii) a decrease of 12.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the Net Leverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter. Loans under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, Term SOFR plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00 % per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00 % per annum. The Company will pay certain fees under the Amended Credit
Agreement, including (a) a commitment fee of 0.175 % per
annum on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility (subject to a step-ups to 0.300 % and 0.250 % and a
step-down to 0.150 % at the same levels described above),
(b) a fronting fee of 0.125 % per annum on the average
daily undrawn amount of, plus unreimbursed amounts in respect of disbursements under, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility and (c) customary annual administration fees. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by, subject to certain exceptions, all material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) and secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest in
substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 29, 2025, there
were $17.0 million in loans and $9.2
million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
On June 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of “Notes”. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 30, 2020, between the Company and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.0 % per annum payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured
basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees the Company’s obligations under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities or that guarantees the Company’s or
any of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries’ long-term indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million.
The Company may redeem some, or all, of the Notes at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption prices listed in the
Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
If the Company experiences a change of control (as defined in
the indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101 % of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Amended Credit Agreement and the Indenture both
contain certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions or take certain actions, as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period
(subject to an increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for four
quarters in connection with certain significant acquisitions). The Company is in compliance with all the covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement throughout the period covered by this report.
The Company has a committed loan facility in Japan. As of June 29, 2025, $0.8 million was outstanding under this loan facility. Principal will be repaid in accordance
with the payment schedule ending in 2026. The Company repaid $0.1 on this loan during the first six months of 2025.
As part of the acquisition of Concept Pet Heimtierprodukte GmbH ("Concept Pet") in 2022, the Company assumed $1.9 million in long-term debt, recorded at fair value, consisting of two terms loans, one that matures in 2025 and one that matures in 2027. Both loans have annual payments and carry a variable interest rate. The Company did no t make repayments on these loans during the first six months of 2025.
As of June 29, 2025, the
Company had $13.3 million in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines, of $0.7 million were in use.
Note 10. Benefit Plans
The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering the majority of its eligible employees on a contributory or non-contributory
basis. The Company also provides post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits for the majority of its U.S. retired employees. Disclosures for the U.S. plans have been combined with those outside of the U.S., as the international plans do not
have significantly different assumptions, and together represent less than 20 % of our total benefit obligation.

Note 12. Contingencies
The Company is party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of our business. The Company and certain of the Company’s
subsidiaries are among numerous defendants in a number of cases seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos-contaminated talc products sold by the Company’s subsidiary BMI Oldco Inc. (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) (“Oldco”).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
On October 2, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), notwithstanding the Company’s confidence in the safety of Oldco’s talc products, the Company’s subsidiaries, Oldco and Barretts Ventures Texas LLC (“BVT” and, together with Oldco,
the “Chapter 11 Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) to address and comprehensively resolve
Oldco’s liabilities associated with talc. Minerals Technologies Inc. and the Company’s other subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 filing.
The Chapter 11 Debtors’ ultimate goal in the Chapter 11 Cases is to confirm a plan of reorganization under Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and utilize this provision of the Bankruptcy Code to establish a trust that will address all current and future talc-related claims. Discussions
regarding the terms of a potential consensual plan of reorganization and the ultimate amount to be contributed to any trust are ongoing.
As of June 29, 2025, we had 775 open cases related to certain talc products previously sold by Oldco, which is an increase in
volume from previous years. The following table details case activity related to talc products previously sold by Oldco:

These claims typically allege various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability and seek
compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, but most of these claims do not provide adequate information to assess their merits, the likelihood that the Company will be found liable, or the magnitude of such liability, if any. We are unable to
state an amount or range of amounts claimed in any of these lawsuits because state court pleading practices do not require the plaintiff to identify the amount of the claimed damage. The Company’s position, as stated publicly, is that the talc products
sold by Oldco are safe and do not cause cancer.
During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company anticipates that the Chapter 11 Debtors will benefit from the operation of the
automatic stay, which stays ongoing litigation in connection with talc-related claims against the Chapter 11 Debtors. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court temporarily enjoined the filing or continued prosecution of all talc-related claims against the
Chapter 11 Debtors’ non-debtor affiliates, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions consist of claims premised solely on alleged inadequacies in testing of talc sold by Oldco. The Company is vigorously opposing and defending against these
claims.
While costs relating to the talc-related cases have increased concurrently with the volume, the majority of these costs have historically
been borne by Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) in connection with certain agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in 1992, and as long as the litigation is subject to the stay under the Chapter 11 Cases (subject to
certain exceptions), the Company will not be required to make any payments in respect thereof. The Company is entitled to indemnification, pursuant to agreement, for liabilities arising from sales prior to the initial public offering. On May 22, 2024,
Pfizer filed a motion in the Chapter 11 Cases seeking permission to file a lawsuit against the Company related to the 1992 agreement. That motion has been adjourned, and Pfizer and the Company have agreed to mediate their disputes. The Company
continues to receive information from Pfizer with respect to potential costs associated with the defense and/or settlement of talc-related cases that Pfizer alleges are not subject to indemnification. Although the Company believes that the talc
products are safe and that claims to the contrary are without merit, Oldco opportunistically settled certain talc-related cases in 2022 and 2023. None of such settlements were material to the Company.
In the second quarter of 2024, Oldco sold its talc assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, in the second quarter of
2024, the Company entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement with Oldco (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) and recorded a provision for credit loss of $30
million for the maximum principal amount under such Credit Agreement. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company agreed to amend the DIP Credit Agreement to increase the maximum principal amount under such Credit Agreement by $30 million. Proceeds of the sale of Oldco’s talc assets and funds drawn by Oldco under the DIP Credit Agreement have been and will be used to fund the
Chapter 11 Cases.
MINERALS TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Following the Chapter 11 filing, the activities of the Chapter 11 Debtors are now subject to review and oversight by the bankruptcy court.
As a result, the Chapter 11 Debtors were deconsolidated as of the Petition Date, and their assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis.
On June 25, 2024, the committee representing talc claimants (the “Committee”) filed a motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 Cases. On April
29, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court denied dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases. On May 13, 2025, the Committee filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “District Court”) seeking leave to appeal the order
denying the motion to dismiss, which the Chapter 11 Debtors opposed.
On May 14, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered a Report and Recommendation (i) recommending that the District Court determine whether any
of the talc sold by Oldco contained sufficient quantity and form of asbestos to cause mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases and (ii) abating the Chapter 11 Cases pending a determination by the District Court. The Company supports this path
forward. The Chapter 11 Cases remain pending.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a provision to establish a reserve of $215 million for estimated costs to fund a trust to resolve all current and future talc-related claims as well as fund the Chapter 11 Cases and related litigation costs (including
the aforementioned $30 million increase to the maximum principal amount of the DIP Credit Agreement). The parties have not yet reached a final resolution of all matters in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amount accrued.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies associated with legal matters, including talc-related litigation and the Chapter 11
Cases, when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts accrued for legal contingencies often result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties that rely
heavily on estimates and assumptions including timing of related payments. The ability to make such estimates and judgments can be affected by various factors, including whether damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate,
the stage of the litigation, the factual and legal matters in dispute, the ability to achieve comprehensive settlements, the availability of co-defendants with substantial resources and assets participating in the litigation, and our evaluation of the
unique attributes of each claim.
The broader litigation and regulatory environments for talc-related claims continue to evolve. Moreover, although the Chapter 11 Cases are
progressing, it is not possible at this time to predict how the District Court will rule on the pending motions, whether an appellate court will affirm or reverse the Bankruptcy Court order denying the Committee’s motion to dismiss, the form of any
ultimate resolution or when an ultimate resolution might occur. Given the foregoing factors, it is reasonably possible that the Company will incur a loss for liabilities associated with talc claims in excess of the amount accrued. This risk is based
on the potential for new talc-related claims that could eventually be asserted together with their associated disposition cost and related legal costs, despite the automatic stay with respect to claims against the Chapter 11 Debtors, taking into
account the portion of such hypothetical claims that may be subject to indemnification by Pfizer, as well as the inability to predict the amount that may ultimately be necessary to fully and finally resolve all of the Chapter 11 Debtors’ future
talc-related claims in connection with a confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. In light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, the resolution of, or recognition of additional liabilities in connection with, current or future talc claims
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Note 13. Segment and Related Information
The Company determines its operating segments based on the discrete financial information that is regularly evaluated by its chief
operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and serve different markets. They
are managed separately and require different technology and marketing strategies.
The Company has two reportable
segments: Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company evaluates performance based on the operating income of the respective business units. The costs deducted to arrive at
operating profit do not include several items, such as net interest or income tax expense. Depreciation expense related to corporate assets is allocated to the business segments and is included in their income from operations. However, such corporate
depreciable assets are not included in the segment assets. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.

Minerals Technologies Inc.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Minerals Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 29, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024,
the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2025 and March 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024
and March 31, 2024 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it
to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated
balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
/s/ KPMG LLP
New York, New York
July 25, 2025
Executive Summary
Our consolidated sales for the second
quarter of 2025 were $528.9
million, a decrease of 2% as compared with $541.2
million in the prior year. Income from operations was $74.6 million, as compared with income of $50.6 million in the prior year. In the second quarter of 2025, the
Company recorded a $5.8 million charge for the write-down of assets and other charges relating to the consolidation of two facilities in the U.S.
and a $5.6 million net gain on the final installment for the sale of refractories manufacturing assets in China. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $30 million in connection with the Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the "DIP Credit
Agreement") with BMI Oldco Inc. (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) ("Oldco"). Additionally, included in income from operations for both the second
quarter of 2025 and 2024 was $4.2 million of litigation expenses incurred in connection with the bankruptcy of Oldco.
Net income in the second
quarter of 2025 was $45.4 million,
as compared to income of $19.7 million in the second
quarter of 2024. Diluted earnings in the second
quarter of 2025 was $1.44 per
share, as compared with earnings of $0.61 per share in the second quarter of 2024.
Our balance sheet continues to be strong. The Company repurchased $19 million in shares in the second quarter of 2025 under our $200
million buyback program. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $319.9 million as of June 29, 2025 and the Company had more than $650 million of available liquidity, including cash on hand as well as availability under its revolving credit facility. We believe
that these factors will allow us to meet our anticipated funding requirements.
Outlook
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025,
the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries and multiple nations have responded with reciprocal tariffs and other actions. Certain of the U.S. government’s announcements have been
followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses, and the U.S. government stated that it is willing to negotiate with other countries regarding the tariffs, all of which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the
tariffs on economic conditions. While the Company generally manufactures products in the markets where they are sold, the imposition of tariffs as well as uncertainty about their scope and duration could negatively affect demand, result in an increase
in some input costs and/or inflation, or otherwise adversely affect economic conditions. The Company continues to monitor the economic effects of such announcements and is implementing plans to mitigate their related impacts, but the effects
associated with the tariffs remain uncertain.
The Company will continue to focus on innovation and new product development and other opportunities for sales growth in 2025 from its existing businesses, as follows:

were principally used to fund capital expenditures, repurchase shares, and to pay the Company’s dividend to common shareholders. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: remainder of 2025 - $5.1 million; 2026 - $6.4 million; 2027 - $6.0 million; 2028 - $405.8 million;
2029 - $5.7 million; thereafter - $546.3 million.
On November 26, 2024 the Company entered into a Refinancing Facility Agreement and Incremental Facility Amendment (the “Amendment”) to
amend the Company's previous credit agreement (the "Previous Credit Agreement; the previous credit agreement, as amended by the Amendment, being the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amendment provides for, among other things, a new senior secured
revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $400 million (the “Revolving Facility”), a portion of which may be used for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans, and a new senior secured term loan facility with aggregate
commitments of $575 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility replace the facilities under the Previous Credit Agreement,
which provided for, among other things, a $550 million senior secured term loan facility and a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The maturity date for loans and commitments under the Revolving Facility is November 26, 2029, and
the maturity date for loans under the Term Loan Facility is November 26, 2031; provided that the maturity dates of the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility will be adjusted to the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the
Company’s 5.0% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) unless, prior to the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Notes, all amounts in excess of $50 million of the Notes have been either (a) refinanced with indebtedness permitted
under the Amended Credit Agreement maturing later than 90 days after the scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Facility or of the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, or (b) repaid, discharged or repaid (other than with the proceeds of any
indebtedness maturing earlier than 91 days after the scheduled maturity date of the Revolving Facility or of the Term Loan Facility, as applicable). Loans under the Term Loan Facility amortize at a rate equal to 1.00% per annum, payable in equal
quarterly instalments, and were issued with original issue discount at 99.875% of par.
Loans under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to (a) for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, at the election of the
Company, Term SOFR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, (b) for loans denominated in Euros, adjusted EURIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum and (c)
for loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, SONIA plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum, subject in each case to (i) an increase of 37.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended
Credit Agreement) is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter, (ii) an increase of 12.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the Net Leverage Ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and greater
than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter and (iii) a decrease of 12.5 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the Net Leverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of the preceding
fiscal quarter. Loans under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, Term SOFR plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00% per annum.
The Company will pay certain fees under the Amended Credit Agreement, including (a) a commitment fee of 0.175% per annum on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility (subject to a step-ups to 0.300% and 0.250% and a step-down to 0.150% at the same
levels described above), (b) a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the average daily undrawn amount of, plus unreimbursed amounts in respect of disbursements under, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility and (c) customary annual
administration fees. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by, subject to certain exceptions, all material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”)
and secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors.
As of June 29, 2025, there
were $17.0 million in loans and $9.2
million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
On June 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture,
dated as of June 30, 2020, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.0% per annum payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning
on January 1, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees the Company’s obligations
under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities or that guarantees the Company’s or any of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries’ long-term indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million.
The Company may redeem some, or all, of the Notes at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption prices listed in the
Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
If the Company experiences a change of control (as defined
in the indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.
The Amended Credit Agreement and the Indenture both contain certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit or restrict
the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions or take certain actions, as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that requires the
Company to maintain a maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 for each four fiscal quarter periods (subject to an increase to 5.00 to 1.00 for four quarters in connection with certain significant acquisitions). The Company is in compliance with all
the covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement throughout the period covered by this report.
The Company has a committed loan facility in Japan. As of June 29, 2025, $0.8 million was outstanding under this loan facility. Principal will be repaid in accordance
with the payment schedule ending in 2026. The Company repaid $0.1 on this loan during the first six months of 2025.
As part of the Concept Pet acquisition, the Company assumed $1.9 million in long-term debt, recorded at fair value, consisting of two
terms loans, one that matures in 2025 and one that matures in 2027. Both loans have annual payments and carry a variable interest rate. The Company did not make repayments on these loans during the first six months of 2025.
As of June 29, 2025, the
Company had $13.3 million in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines, of which $0.7 million were in use. The credit lines are primarily outside the U.S. and are generally one year in
term at competitive market rates at large, well-established institutions. The Company typically uses its available credit lines to fund working capital requirements or local capital spending needs.
We anticipate that capital expenditures for 2025 should be approximately $100 million, principally related to
opportunities to improve our operations and meet our strategic growth objectives. We expect to meet our other long-term financing requirements from internally generated funds and committed and uncommitted bank credit lines.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a new floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million.
The fair value of this instrument at June 29, 2025 is an asset less than $0.1 million.
On October 16, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company's management to repurchase, at its discretion, up to $200
million of the Company's shares. As of June 29, 2025, 535,514 shares have been repurchased under this program for $33.3 million, or an average price of approximately
$62.11 per share.
The Company is required to make future payments under various contracts, including debt agreements and lease agreements. The Company also
has commitments to fund its pension plans and provide payments for other post-retirement benefit plans. During the six-month period ended June 29, 2025, there were no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations.
The Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are
among numerous defendants in over seven hundred cases seeking damages for alleged exposure to asbestos-contaminated talc products sold by the Company’s subsidiary Oldco. The Company’s position is that these cases are meritless and all talc products
sold by Oldco are safe. On October 2, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), notwithstanding the Company’s confidence in the safety of Oldco’s talc products, Oldco and Barretts Ventures Texas LLC ("BVT" and together with Oldco, the "Chapter 11 Debtors")
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Chapter 11
Cases”) to address and comprehensively resolve Oldco’s liabilities associated with talc. Minerals Technologies Inc. and the Company’s other subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 filing.
The Chapter 11 Debtors’ ultimate goal in the Chapter 11 Cases is to confirm a plan of reorganization under Section 524(g) of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code and utilize this provision of the Bankruptcy Code to establish a trust that will address all current and future talc-related claims. Discussions regarding the terms of a potential consensual plan of reorganization and the ultimate
amount to be contributed to any trust are ongoing.
In the second quarter of 2024, Oldco sold its talc assets under section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In addition, in the second
quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement with Oldco (the "DIP Credit Agreement") and recorded a provision for credit loss of $30 million for the maximum principal amount under such DIP Credit Agreement. In the
second quarter of 2025, the Company amended the DIP Credit Agreement to increase the maximum principal amount available under the DIP Credit Agreement by $30 million. Proceeds of the sale of Oldco's talc assets, as well as the funds drawn by Oldco
under the DIP Credit Agreement, have been and will be used to fund the Chapter 11 Cases.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a provision to establish a reserve of $215 million for estimated costs to fund a trust
to resolve all current and future talc-related claims as well as fund the Chapter 11 Cases and related litigation costs (including the aforementioned $30 million increase to the maximum principal amount of the DIP Credit Agreement). The parties have
not yet reached a final resolution of all matters in the Chapter 11 Cases, and the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amount accrued.
During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company
anticipates that the Chapter 11 Debtors will benefit from the operation of the automatic stay, which stays ongoing litigation in connection with talc-related claims against Oldco. In addition, the Bankruptcy Court temporarily enjoined the filing or
continued prosecution of all talc-related claims against the Chapter 11 Debtors’ non-debtor affiliates, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions consist of claims premised solely on alleged inadequacies in testing of talc sold by Oldco.
The Company is vigorously opposing and defending against these claims. The Chapter 11 Debtors have been deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements since the
Petition Date.
Although the Chapter 11 Cases are progressing, it is not
possible to predict how the District Court will rule on the pending motions, whether an appellate court will affirm or reverse the Bankruptcy Court order denying the Committee’s motion to dismiss, the form of any ultimate resolution or when an ultimate resolution might occur at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss related to the amount that will be
necessary to fully and finally resolve all of the Chapter 11 Debtors’ current and future talc-related claims in connection with a confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization beyond the amount accrued. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report
for more information.
Cautionary Statement for “Safe Harbor” Purposes under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Company. This report contains statements that the Company believes may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, particularly statements relating to the Company’s objectives, plans or
goals, future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenditures, and financial results. From time to time, the Company also provides forward-looking statements in other publicly-released materials,
both written and oral. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations and forecasts of future events such as new products, revenues and financial performance, and are not limited to describing historical or current facts. They can be
identified by the use of words such as “outlook,” “forecast,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” and other words and phrases of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on assumptions, estimates and limited information available at the time they are made. A
broad variety of risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, as well as the inaccuracy of assumptions and estimates, can affect the realization of the expectations or forecasts in these statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties are
difficult to predict or are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially. Significant factors that could affect the expectations and forecasts include worldwide
general economic, business, and industry conditions; the cyclicality of our customers’ businesses and their changing regional demands; our ability to compete in very competitive industries; consolidation in customer industries, principally paper,
foundry and steel; our ability to renew or extend long term sales contracts for our satellite operations; our ability to generate cash to service our debt; our ability to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing our debt; our ability to
effectively achieve and implement our growth initiatives or consummate the transactions described in the statements; our ability to successfully develop new products; our ability to defend our intellectual property; the increased risks of doing
business abroad including with respect to changes in tariffs; the availability of raw materials and access to ore reserves at our mining operations, or increases in costs of raw materials, energy, or shipping; compliance with or changes to regulation
in the areas of environmental, health and safety, and tax; risks and uncertainties related to the voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code filed by our subsidiaries BMI Oldco Inc. (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) and
Barretts Ventures Texas LLC; claims for legal, environmental and tax matters or product stewardship issues; operating risks and capacity limitations affecting our production facilities; seasonality of some of our businesses; cybersecurity and other
threats relating to our information technology systems; and other risk factors set forth under “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in Exhibit 99 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date
hereof. Investors should refer to the Company’s subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for further disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to
be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, that requires entities
to disclose additional information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes primarily related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new standard also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to
uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The new standard is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements but could result in disaggregation of the Company's tax footnote.
Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation
of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, that requires entities to disclose additional information in the notes to the financial statements about prescribed categories underlying any relevant income statement expense caption.
The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but will result in disaggregation of the Company's income statement expenses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived
assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, including valuation allowances and pension plan assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that cannot readily be determined from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
There have been no material changes to the critical
accounting estimates that our accounting policies require us to make in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, as described in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes
in market prices and foreign currency and interest rates. We are exposed to market risk because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the U.S. dollar. We do not anticipate that near-term changes in exchange rates will have a
material impact on our future earnings or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that a sudden and significant decline in the value of foreign currencies would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations. A portion of our long-term bank debt bears interest at variable rates; therefore, our results of operations would be affected by interest rate changes to the extent of such outstanding bank debt. An immediate 10 percent change in interest
rates would not have a material effect on our results of operations over the next fiscal year. A one-percent change in interest rates, inclusive of the impact of our interest rate derivatives, would result in $4.4 million in incremental interest
charges on an annual basis.
We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. When appropriate, we enter into
derivative financial instruments, such as forward exchange contracts, hedges and interest rate swaps, to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and interest rate movements on our operating results. The counterparties are major financial
institutions. Such forward exchange contracts, hedges and interest rate swaps would not subject us to additional risk from exchange rate or interest rate movements because gains and losses on these contracts would offset losses and gains on the assets,
liabilities, and transactions being hedged.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. The
fair value of this instrument at June 29, 2025 is an asset less than $0.1 million.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with participation of the Company’s management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b).
Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are the
subject of various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of their businesses. The most significant litigation facing the Company is the talc-related chapter 11 cases of BMI Oldco Inc. (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) and Barretts
Ventures Texas LLC. Additional information regarding legal proceedings is disclosed in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
For a description of Risk Factors, see Exhibit 99 attached to this report. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from
those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
