Current report
Energy Costs or Availability—Higher energy costs worldwide and interrupted power supplies, including as a result of the current conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and any escalation of these conflicts, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated assets or operations.
Current report
Electrical power, natural gas, and fuel oil are vital to the Company’s operations as it relies on a continuous energy supply to conduct its business. Depending on the location and mix of energy sources, energy accounts for 10% to 20% of total manufacturing costs. Substantial increases and volatility in energy costs, including those resulting from extreme weather events that affect the Company’s facilities directly or its energy suppliers, or the current conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine, and any escalation of these conflicts, could cause the Company to experience a significant increase in operating costs, which may have a material adverse effect on its assets or results of operations.
Current report
For example, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused a significant increase in the price of natural gas and increased price volatility. Natural gas forms the primary energy source for the Company’s European operations, and a significant amount of natural gas in Europe is ultimately sourced from Russia. The Company’s European operations typically purchase natural gas under mid- to long-term supply arrangements with terms that range from one to three years and, through these agreements, typically agree on a portion of the price with the relevant supplier in advance of the period in which the natural gas will be delivered, which shields the Company from the full impact of increased natural gas prices, while such agreements remain in effect. However, if new agreements are entered into during periods when prices have increased, this would lead to cost inflation and could impact the Company’s profitability if the Company is not able to pass on these increased costs to customers.
Current report
In addition, the Company has an energy derivative contract that is intended to protect against the rise of natural gas costs impacting its European operations. Under the terms of the energy derivative contract, if European natural gas prices rise above a specified level (the “price trigger”), the Company is entitled to indemnification from the counterparty for the difference between the price paid to purchase the natural gas and the price trigger. However, if European natural gas prices rise above a predetermined maximum level (the “price cap”), the Company's entitlement to indemnification is limited to the difference between the price cap and the price trigger. Accordingly, if European natural gas prices rise above the price cap, the Company would bear the full incremental cost of natural gas prices in excess of the price cap, which may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
Current report
Furthermore, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting sanctions, potential sanctions, government-mandated curtailments or government-imposed allocations, tariffs or other adverse repercussions on energy supplies could cause the Company’s energy suppliers to be unable or unwilling to deliver natural gas at agreed prices and quantities. If this occurs, the Company may need to procure natural gas at then-current market prices, subject to market availability, which may exceed both the prices contemplated under the applicable supply arrangement and the price cap applicable under the Company’s energy derivative contract, which, in either case, could cause the Company to experience a significant increase in operating costs or result in the temporary or permanent cessation of delivery of natural gas to several of the Company’s manufacturing plants in Europe. Alternatively, for certain plants that have energy switching capabilities, the Company may decide to switch to a different energy source, which could also result in a significant increase in operating costs. In addition, depending on the duration and ultimate outcome of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, future long-term supply arrangements for natural gas may not be available at reasonable prices or at all. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated assets or results of operations.
Current report
Supply Chain Disruptions—The Company’s capital expenditure plans have been, and may continue to be, affected by supply chain disruptions.
Current report
The Company relies on third parties to provide equipment and materials needed for its capital expenditure projects.
Current report
The global supply chain for the Company’s capital expenditure projects has been, and may continue to be impacted by disruptions, such as political events, international trade disputes or other geopolitical tensions, acts of terrorism, hostilities or wars (such as the continued conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine), natural disasters, public health issues, such as a pandemic, industrial accidents, inflation, and other business interruptions. Global supply chain disruptions may continue to adversely impact the Company’s ability to procure materials and equipment in a timely and cost-effective manner, which may negatively impact the Company’s operating costs and timelines for capital expenditure projects.

Previous report
Global Profitability Improvement Initiatives—The Company’s ability to achieve expected benefits from cost management, efficiency improvements, and profitability initiatives, such as its Fit to Win program, including expected impacts from production curtailments, reductions in force and furnace closures, could have a material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.
Previous report
Beginning in 2024, the Company commenced a strategic review of its global profitability and manufacturing footprint, known as its Fit to Win initiative. This initiative is focused on the reduction of redundant production capacity and the optimization of its network, as well as streamlining other costs, such as selling, general and administrative expenses. In connection with the Fit to Win initiative, in the second quarter of 2025, the Company decided to halt further MAGMA development and operations. With the halt of the MAGMA program, the Company’s Fit to Win initiative is now intended to be the primary program to drive higher output at lower operating costs. The Fit to Win initiative is currently expected to last at least through 2026.
Previous report
Since 2024, this program has resulted in significant cumulative pre-tax charges and cash outflows for severance and other exit costs, and future actions under this program, or similar profitability initiatives, may result in additional costs. If the Company fails to complete any of these initiatives or activities, or if the results of these initiatives and activities do not lead to the expected cost savings, the Company’s financial results could be negatively impacted.
