NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Basis of Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have not been included. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Westlake Corporation (the "Company"), included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K"), filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices as disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The Company operates as an integrated global manufacturer and marketer of performance and essential materials and housing and infrastructure products. These products include some of the most widely used materials in the world, which are fundamental to many diverse consumer and industrial markets, including residential construction, flexible and rigid packaging, automotive products, healthcare products, materials used in turbines to generate wind energy, water treatment, coatings as well as other durable and non-durable goods. The Company's customers range from large chemical processors and plastics fabricators to small construction contractors, municipalities and supply warehouses throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2025, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in its cash position for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Results of operations and changes in cash position for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 or any other interim period. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Prior period current portion of long-term debt balance has been reclassified to accrued and other liabilities to conform to the current year presentation on the consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03)

In November 2024, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general, and administrative expenses; and research and development). The amendments require that an entity disclose detailed amounts for inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and depletion expenses, categorizing them under appropriate income statement captions. Additionally, they should provide a qualitative description for amounts not disaggregated and disclose total selling expenses along with their definition in annual reports. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and are to be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on the disclosures in the Company's financial statements.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU No.2023-09)

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update No. 2023-09 to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures and to provide information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company expects the adoption of this standard to result in additional disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07)

In November 2023, the FASB issued accounting standards update requiring public entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), and on an annual basis, the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this accounting standard effective for the annual 2024 financial statements and interim periods financial statements thereafter, and the adoption resulted in additional segment disclosures (see Note 14).

Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (ASU 2023-05)

In August 2023, the FASB issued accounting standards update No. 2023-05 to address the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture's financial statements, and to (1) provide decision-useful information to investors and other allocators of capital (collectively, investors) in a joint venture's financial statements and (2) reduce diversity in practice. Under the ASU, upon formation, a joint venture should recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with guidance for business combinations). The amendments in this update become effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Additionally, a joint venture that was formed before January 1, 2025 may elect to apply the amendments retrospectively if it has sufficient information. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance), either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 2025 and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

  1. Financial Instruments

Cash Equivalents

The Company had $2 and $1,009 of held-to-maturity securities with original maturities of three months or less, primarily consisting of corporate debt securities, classified as cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Due to the short-term nature of such securities, the Company's investments in held-to-maturity securities were held at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company had restricted cash and cash equivalents of $15 and $16 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company's restricted cash and cash equivalents are primarily related to balances that are restricted for payment of distributions to certain of the Company's current and former employees and are reflected primarily in other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Investments portfolio in securities are classified as available-for-sale. The Company views its available-for-sale securities as available for use in current operations. Accordingly, the Company classifies its investments as current assets, irrespective of the maturity date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses and amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are recorded in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company periodically reviews its available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis, and when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the investment is written down to fair value, establishing a new cost basis. The Company periodically reviews available-for-sale securities to assess for credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions, investment type and other relevant market data.

The Company had no available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2024. Investments in securities at June 30, 2025 consisted of available-for-sale debt securities.

Credit Agreement

On June 9, 2022, the Company entered into a new $1,500 revolving credit facility that is scheduled to mature on June 9, 2027 (the "Credit Agreement") and, in connection therewith, terminated the Company's then existing revolving credit agreement. The Credit Agreement bears interest at either (a) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.625% per annum or (b) Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.625% per annum, in each case depending on the credit rating of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including a quarterly total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant. The Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default and, if and for so long as certain events of default have occurred and are continuing, any overdue amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement will accrue interest at an increased rate, the lenders can terminate their commitments to lend thereunder and payments of any outstanding amounts thereunder could be accelerated by the lenders. None of the Company's subsidiaries are required to guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement includes a $150 sub-limit for letters of credit, and any outstanding letters of credit will be deducted from availability under the facility. The Credit Agreement also provides for a discretionary $50 commitment for swingline loans to be provided on a same-day basis. The Company may also increase the size of the facility, in increments of at least $25, up to a maximum of $500, subject to certain conditions and if certain lenders agree to commit to such an increase.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company hadno borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding, and had borrowing availability of $1,500, under the Credit Agreement.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The Company reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, inputs used to measure fair value are classified in one of three levels:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Company has financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measures. These financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and long-term debt, all of which are recorded at carrying value. The amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. See Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Company's investments in available-for-sale securities.

The majority of the Company's long-term debt instruments are publicly-traded. A market approach, based upon quotes from financial reporting services, is used to measure the fair value of the Company's long-term debt. Because the Company's long-term debt instruments may not be actively traded, the inputs used to measure the fair value of the Company's long-term debt are classified as Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying and fair values of the Company's total long-term debt are summarized below:

Long-term debt$4,657$3,932$4,562$3,836
  1. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was (4.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 23.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of (4.8)% was below the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against Westlake Epoxy Netherlands's net operating loss, for which no tax benefit can be recognized, U.S. federal research and development credits available to the Company, state tax benefits and income attributable to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions and foreign taxes, and the impact of earnings mix across jurisdictions. These adjustments had an inflated impact on the effective income tax rate due to the pre-tax loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was above the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state and foreign taxes partially offset by U.S. federal research and development credits available to the Company.

The effective income tax rate was (4.4)% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was below the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against Westlake Epoxy Netherlands's net operating loss, for which no tax benefit can be recognized, U.S. federal research and development credits available to the Company, state tax benefits and income attributable to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions and foreign taxes and the impact of earnings mix across jurisdictions. These adjustments had an inflated impact on the effective income tax rate due to the pre-tax loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was above the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state and foreign taxes partially offset by U.S. federal research and development credits available to the Company.

On October 8, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD")/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting released a statement indicating that its members had agreed to a Two Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy. Pillar One aims to reallocate a taxpayer's residual profits to the market jurisdictions with which the taxpayer has a nexus. Pillar One targets multinational companies with global annual revenue exceeding €20 billion and profit-to-revenue ratio of more than 10%. Based on the current threshold requirements, the Company does not expect to be subject to Pillar One. Pillar Two aims to establish a minimum global tax rate of 15%, assessed through a top-up tax imposed on a country-by-country basis. The impacts of Pillar Two have been recorded since 2024, the first year in which the rules took effect and are immaterial to the Company. The Company will however continue to closely monitor and evaluate Pillar Two developments, including recent statements made at the G7 in June 2025 that would exempt U.S. parented groups from Pillar Two by recognizing existing U.S. minimum tax rules and allowing the U.S. system and Pillar Two system to coexist.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting corporations. The OBBBA, among other changes, permanently reinstates the "bonus" depreciation provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of 100% of the cost of certain qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, permanently reinstates the elective immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024 (with a special transition rule that allows accelerated deduction of the remaining unamortized balance of capitalized domestic research and experimental expenditures), and permanently relaxes the limitation on the deductibility of business interest effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. The OBBBA also modifies certain international tax provisions effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these tax law changes and will recognize the income tax effects in the consolidated financial statements beginning in the period in which the OBBBA was signed into law. At this time, the Company expects these tax law changes to reduce its cash tax without materially impacting its effective income tax rate.

  1. Earnings (Loss) and Dividends per Share

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company has unvested restricted stock units outstanding that are considered participating securities and, therefore, computes basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share under the two-class method. Basic earnings (loss) per share for the periods are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include the effects of certain stock options and performance stock units. Diluted loss per share exclude the effects of certain stock options and performance stock units because the effect of including them would have been antidilutive.

Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share are options to purchase 1,007,138 and 171,487 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 769,646 and 216,105 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Performance stock units assumed vesting of 168,724 and 191,441 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, are also excluded. These options and performance stock units were outstanding during the periods reported but were excluded because the effect of including them would have been antidilutive.

Accrued and Other Liabilities

Accrued and other liabilities were $1,477 and $1,368 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Accrued rebates and current portion of operating lease liabilities, which are components of accrued and other liabilities, were $208 and $136, respectively, at June 30, 2025 and $232 and $128, respectively, at December 31, 2024. No other component of accrued and other liabilities was more than five percent of total current liabilities. Accrued liabilities with related parties were $31 and $26 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Restructuring, Transaction and Integration-Related Costs

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the restructuring, transaction and integration-related expenses of $115, and $122, respectively, were primarily related to the closure of the Company's Pernis facility discussed below and the temporary cessation of operations of one of the production units at the Company's 95% owned joint venture located in China, which resulted in a charge of $7, included in the Performance and Essential Materials segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the restructuring, transaction and integration-related expenses were $4 and $8, respectively.

Pernis Facility Closure

In July 2024, the Company approved a plan to mothball the allyl chloride ("AC") and epichlorohydrin ("ECH") units at the Company's site in Pernis, the Netherlands and recognized charges of approximately $75 related to mothballing of the AC and ECH units in the third quarter of 2024. The Company continued to operate the liquid epoxy resin ("LER") and bisphenol A ("BPA") units at the Pernis facility through June 2025. In June 2025, due to the continued deterioration of the Company's business in Europe, the Company revised the original mothballing plan and approved a plan to close and cease all the remaining operations at its Pernis facility including the LER and BPA units. The Company ceased the BPA unit operations in June 2025 and expects to cease the LER unit operations in the second half of 2025. In June 2025, the Company notified the affected employees at the Pernis facility of the Company's revised plan.

In addition to the previous charges related to the July 2024 mothballing, the Company recognized expected costs of $123 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to the closure of the Pernis facility. The additional costs recognized consist of charges for asset retirement obligations of $76, other plant shutdown related costs of $19 and employee severance and separation costs of $13, that are included in the restructuring, transaction and integration-related costs, and the write-down of inventory of $15, that is included as a component of cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The other plant shutdown costs include costs for contract termination, costs for services without future economic benefits, leases, and other costs associated with the plant shut down. The Company expects to recognize additional charges related to other plant shut down costs of approximately $64 and severance and separation costs of $14 in future periods in connection with the closure of the LER unit and other future events. The Company expects to complete the closure plan in 2030.

The following table sets forth the inventory write-downs and the accrual activity related to the closure of the Pernis facility included in accrued and other liabilities, and other liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and the cumulative charges recognized:

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in a number of legal and regulatory matters that are incidental to the normal conduct of its business, including lawsuits, investigations and claims. The outcome of these matters are inherently unpredictable. The Company believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all known legal and regulatory matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements; however, under certain circumstances, if required to recognize costs in a specific period, when combined with other factors, outcomes with respect to such matters may be material to the Company's consolidated statements of operations in such period. The Company's assessment of the potential impact of environmental matters, in particular, is subject to uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation of such environmental matters, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments. In addition, the impact of evolving claims and programs, such as natural resource damage claims, industrial site reuse initiatives and state remediation programs creates further uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of these matters. The Company anticipates that the resolution of many legal and regulatory matters, and in particular environmental matters, will occur over an extended period of time.

Caustic Soda Antitrust. The Company and other caustic soda producers were named as defendants in multiple purported class action civil lawsuits filed since March 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. The lawsuits allege the defendants conspired to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the price of caustic soda, restrict domestic (U.S.) supply of caustic soda and allocate caustic soda customers. Each of the lawsuits is filed on behalf of the respective named plaintiff or plaintiffs and a putative class comprised of either direct purchasers or indirect purchasers of caustic soda in the United States. The plaintiffs in the putative class for such direct purchasers sought $861 in single damages from the defendants, in addition to treble damages and attorney's fees. The plaintiffs in the putative class for such indirect purchasers sought approximately $500 in single damages from the defendants, in addition to treble damages and injunctive relief. The District Court has denied or rejected class certification for both the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied the direct and indirect purchaser plaintiffs' petitions for leave to appeal in February and April 2025, respectively. Beginning in October 2020, similar class action proceedings were also filed in Canada before the Superior Court of Québec as well as before the Federal Court. These proceedings seek the certification or authorization of a class action on behalf of all residents of Canada who purchased caustic soda (including, in one of the cases, those who merely purchased products containing caustic soda) from October 1, 2015 through the present or such date deemed appropriate by the court. In December 2021, the Superior Court of Québec stayed its proceedings until after a final certification decision is released in the Federal Court proceedings. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the impact, if any, that these lawsuits could have on the Company's consolidated financial statements either in the current period or in future periods.

Ethylene Antitrust. The Company and other ethylene consumers were the subject of a decision issued by the European Commission (Decision AT.40410 – Ethylene) on July 14, 2020 relating to the exchange of certain commercial and pricing-related information and in fixing a price element related to certain purchases of ethylene between December 2011 and March 2017 (the "European Commission Decision"). Following the decision, the Company and other ethylene consumers were named as defendants in a series of similar lawsuits, which generally allege that the defendants (i) conspired to lower the purchase price for ethylene and ethylene derivatives during the specified period by manipulating the monthly contract price and thus (ii) caused a cartel-induced undercharge for certain ethylene and/or ethylene derivative (in particular polyethylene) sales to the defendants and other third parties during the period identified in the European Commission Decision and for 24 months thereafter. Please see the 2024 Form 10-K and the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 for a description of the lawsuits filed prior to May 1, 2025 (the "Existing Ethylene Antitrust Litigation"). The following additional lawsuits were filed on or after May 1, 2025:

OMV Aktiengesellschaft and certain of its affiliates (together "OMV") filed a lawsuit in May 2025 in the District Court of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, seeking a declaratory judgment establishing that the Company and other defendants are jointly and severally liable for an unspecified amount of damages.

Borealis GmbH ("Borealis") filed a lawsuit in July 2025 in the District Court of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, seeking a declaratory judgment establishing that the Company and other defendants are jointly and severally liable for an unspecified amount of damages.

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. and certain of its affiliates (together "LBI") filed a lawsuit in July 2025 in the District Court of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, seeking alleged damages of €1,637 million from the defendants, plus statutory interest accruing from the date of each relevant transaction, as well as reimbursement of costs related to the proceeding.

At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the impact, if any, that the Existing Ethylene Antitrust Litigation, the OMV lawsuit, the Borealis lawsuit and/or the LBI lawsuit could have on the Company's consolidated financial statements either in the current period or in future periods.

PVC Pipe Antitrust. The Company, certain of its subsidiaries and other manufacturers of PVC pipe have been named as defendants in ten putative class action civil lawsuits (collectively, the "PVC Pipe Antitrust Lawsuits"), all filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois between August 2024 and June 2025. The plaintiffs in three originally separately filed lawsuits filed a single consolidated amended complaint in October 2024 on behalf of a putative class of non-converter seller purchasers and allege that PVC pipe manufacturers conspired with each other, an industry publication (OPIS), and certain PVC pipe distributors to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the domestic prices of PVC pipe, resulting in the plaintiffs paying artificially high prices for PVC pipe purchased from non-manufacturer pipe sellers. These plaintiffs assert various claims under Section 1 of the Sherman Act and the competition laws of multiple states, and seek injunctive relief, treble damages of undisclosed amounts, and equitable relief, plus attorneys' fees and costs. The plaintiffs in two other suits purport to represent direct purchasers of PVC pipe from pipe manufacturers and allege the manufacturers conspired with each other and OPIS to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the domestic prices of PVC pipe, resulting in the direct purchasers paying artificially high prices for PVC pipe. These plaintiffs assert claims under Section 1 and/or Section 3 of the Sherman Act, and seek injunctive relief, treble damages of undisclosed amounts, and equitable relief, plus attorneys' fees and costs. The plaintiffs in the remaining lawsuits allege the same general conspiracy as the other plaintiffs and purport to represent end user classes of indirect purchasers, asserting claims under Section 1 and/or Section 3 of the Sherman Act and violations of various state competition and consumer protection laws, and seek injunctive relief, treble damages of undisclosed amounts, equitable relief, attorneys' fees and costs. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the impact, if any, that the PVC Pipe Antitrust Lawsuits could have on the Company's consolidated financial statements either in the current period or in future periods.

Triad Hunter. In April 2018, Triad Hunter, LLC ("Triad Hunter") filed suit against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries in the Court of Common Pleas in Monroe County, Ohio seeking injunctive relief and alleging negligence and trespass at the Natrium Plant with respect to Triad Hunter's well drilling activities in Ohio. On October 27, 2022, the jury returned a verdict finding that the Company had committed trespass and was negligent in conducting salt mining operations at the Natrium Plant. The court subsequently denied Triad Hunter's request to enjoin further solution mining from one of the brine fields at the Natrium Plant. On September 12, 2023, final judgment was entered in the amount of $70 with interest accruing at the rate of 5% from the date the judgment was rendered, as provided by law. Following the Company's appeal, the intermediate appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment and the Ohio Supreme Court subsequently denied the Company's petition for review. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had reserved approximately $76 for the damages awarded to Triad Hunter and has paid such award in the third quarter of 2025.

Brazilian Contractual Indemnification Lawsuit. In July 2012, PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG") entered into an agreement to separate various assets and liabilities of its commodity chemicals business, which were transferred to a subsidiary of Eagle Spinco, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PPG ("Eagle Spinco"). The separation and the post separation contractual relationship between PPG and Eagle Spinco are generally set forth in that certain Separation Agreement dated as of July 18, 2012, by and between PPG and Eagle Spinco (the "Separation Agreement"). In January 2013, Eagle Spinco merged with Georgia Gulf Corporation to create Axiall Corporation ("Axiall"), which the Company later acquired in August 2016. Eagle Spinco is currently a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company.

In May 2024, a trial court in Manaus, Brazil issued a decision awarding damages to Brazilian company Di Gregorio Navegacao, Ltda ("Di Gregorio") in a lawsuit filed by Di Gregorio against PPG relating to an explosion on November 9, 1998 that destroyed the M/V DG Harmony and her cargo, which included PPG-owned calcium hypochlorite (the "Di Gregorio Lawsuit"). The decision awarded damages to Di Gregorio in the approximate amount of R$550 million (Brazilian real), plus a monetary adjustment and interest (based on SELIC) accruing from April 3, 2006, as well as 20% for legal fees and a small procedural fine. The parties to the Di Gregorio Lawsuit are waiting on the trial court's Accounting Department to release the aggregate judgment amount. PPG appealed the trial court's decision and the Amazonas Court of Appeals issued a decision affirming in part the trial court's decision. PPG is expected to appeal to the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice. PPG asserts that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are responsible for any judgment in the Di Gregorio Lawsuit.

On June 13, 2024, PPG filed a lawsuit against the Company, Axiall and Eagle Spinco in Delaware Chancery Court, and later amended its petition and added Westlake US 2 LLC as a defendant. In this lawsuit, PPG generally asks the court to find that the defendants: (1) breached the Separation Agreement; (2) may not abandon the defense of the Di Gregorio Lawsuit; (3) must acknowledge that they are solely responsible for the liabilities and defense costs of the Di Gregorio Lawsuit; (4) must handle and resolve the Di Gregorio Lawsuit without access to PPG's insurance rights; and (5) must take all steps necessary to protect PPG and its affiliates from any enforcement action or harm brought by the Di Gregorio Lawsuit. The Company is defending the Delaware litigation and has asserted counterclaims against PPG seeking a declaration that the Di Gregorio Lawsuit is indemnifiable and that if PPG seeks reimbursement for any losses related to the Di Gregorio Lawsuit, it must assign to Eagle Spinco its rights to relevant insurance proceeds.

At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the impact that the Delaware lawsuit and Eagle Spinco's contractual obligations related to the lawsuit could have on the Company's consolidated financial statements either in the current period or in future periods.

Environmental Contingencies. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling approximately $67 and $72, respectively, most of which was classified as noncurrent liabilities. The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and, if necessary, remediation, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments.

Calvert City Proceedings. As the current owner of the Calvert City, Kentucky facility, the Company was named by the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 along with Goodrich Corporation ("Goodrich") and its successor-in-interest, Avient Corporation (formerly known as PolyOne Corporation) ("Avient"). In October 2019, the PRPs received special notice letters for the remedial action phase of work at the site. In September 2020, the EPA and the Department of Justice filed a proposed consent decree for the remedial action with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. In November 2020, the Department of Justice filed a motion to approve and enter the consent decree. In January 2021, the Court granted the unopposed motion to enter the consent decree, which became effective the same day. The allocation of liability for remedial and operation and maintenance costs at the Calvert City site is governed by a series of agreements between the Company, Goodrich and Avient. In March 2022, the Company filed a demand for arbitration seeking reimbursement for certain allocable costs incurred during the applicable period since May 2017, and which Avient has failed to pay or disputed under these agreements. In April 2022, Avient filed a complaint in the federal district court for the Western District of Kentucky disputing the enforceability of one of the agreements and seeking to enjoin arbitration. Avient claims that the allocable costs at issue are up to $22, for which Avient claims the Company is totally liable. In September 2023, the court granted the Company's request for summary judgment, but the arbitration proceeding remains stayed pending the resolution of Avient's appeal and Avient sought an appeal. In July 2025, the appeal court affirmed the district court decision and the stayed arbitration proceeding will now resume. The Company disputes Avient's claims and believes it is unlikely that any remediation costs allocable to it would result in material expenditures in any individual reporting period.

Sulphur Mines Dome. The Company owns salt solution-mining caverns at the Sulphur Mines Dome in Sulphur, Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources ("LDENR") issued Compliance Order No. IMD 2022-027 and several supplements to that order, the latest in October 2023, in response to pressure anomaly events in two of the Company's brine caverns. The compliance order and supplements thereto have required the Company to undertake various activities related to response planning, monitoring, investigation and mitigation of potential impacts in the event of future cavern pressure anomalies or failures. In June 2024, the Company's cavern experienced a pressure event, requiring increased rates of brine injection to maintain cavern stability. Following the pressure event, LDENR ordered the Company to take certain additional measures at the brine caverns, including the construction of a dome-wide containment structure. The capital costs and expenditures required to comply with the compliance orders and supplements have been and will continue to be incurred. In response to these orders, the Company reserved approximately $32 in connection with monitoring wells and other remedial activities. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact, if any, that other ongoing expenditures or future injunctive relief ordered by the government could have on the Company's consolidated financial statements either in the current period or in future periods.

In April 2023, Yellow Rock LLC ("Yellow Rock") filed a petition in the 14th Judicial District Court of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana alleging that the Company improperly withdrew and sold oil belonging to Yellow Rock. In November 2024, Yellow Rock filed an amended petition, which alleged negligence and breach of duties related to the operations and maintenance of caverns at the Sulphur Mines Dome. The amended petition also named additional defendants, including PPG, Lonquist & Co. LLC and Lonquist Field Services, LLC, and asserted additional allegations that the defendants' operations of assets at the Sulphur Mines Dome interfered with and prevented Yellow Rock's development of oil and gas assets including alleged damages in excess of $100. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the impact that this lawsuit could have on the Company's consolidated financial statements either in the current period or in future periods.

Environmental Remediation: Reasonably Possible Matters. The Company's assessment of the potential impact of environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies, and the potential for technological and regulatory developments. As such, in addition to the amounts currently reserved for contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable as discussed above, the Company may be subject to reasonably possible loss contingencies related to environmental matters in the range of $100 to $170.
