| 1) | For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2024, September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023 each consisted of 93 days, 91 days, and 91 days, respectively. The twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 each consisted of 366 days and 365 days, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 2) | To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2024, September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of historic operating trends. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $12.3 million net gain on an installment sale of refractories manufacturing assets in China. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $30.0 million provision for credit losses relating to the Company’s committed line of credit to facilitate BMI Oldco Inc.’s (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) (“Oldco”) bankruptcy proceeding. These losses are not currently tax deductible as they are treated as an equity contribution for tax purposes. The current expected credit loss may become fully deductible in a future period. The timing of such deductibility is dependent on developments in the bankruptcy proceedings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of assets charge of $71.7 million associated with the Chapter 11 filing of Oldco within the Consumer & Specialties segment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the second quarter of 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring and cost savings program to further streamline our cost structure as a result of organizational efficiencies gained through our 2023 resegmentation. Accordingly, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $6.9 million related to severance and other costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Included in litigation expenses for the tweleve month periods ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded incremental litigation costs of $29.2 million to defend against, opportunistically settle, and restore our reserve for claims associated with certain talc products from Oldco. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3) | Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2024, September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company’s management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends, and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company’s definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. | |||||||||||||||||||||

On October 2, 2023, Oldco filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and as such the results of Oldco are not included in the Company’s consolidated results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Oldco sales and operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 were $40.6 million and $8.4 million.

| To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP operating income. This excludes special items (set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2024, September 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income set forth above. The Company’s management believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of historic operating trends. | ||||||||||||||||||
