Overview
Enpro Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Enpro,” or the “Company”) is a leading-edge industrial technology company focused on critical applications across a diverse group of growing end markets such as semiconductor, industrial process, commercial vehicle, sustainable power generation, aerospace, food and pharmaceutical, photonics and life sciences. The Company is a leader in applied engineering and designs, develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary, value-added products and solutions that contribute key functionality or safeguard a variety of critical environments.
Over the past several years, we have executed several strategic initiatives to focus the portfolio of businesses where we offer proprietary, industrial technology-related products and solutions with high barriers to entry, compelling margins, strong cash flow, and perpetual recurring/aftermarket revenue streams in markets with favorable secular tailwinds.
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the accounts of the Company and our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions between our consolidated operations have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities at period end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Combinations -We utilize the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations which requires us to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We may adjust these estimates up to one year from the date the business was acquired. Valuations of intangible assets acquired in a business combination require judgment and often comprise a significant portion of the total assets acquired. We use the income approach to determine the fair value of our intangible assets, primarily using the relief-from-royalty or multi-period excess earnings method. Under these valuation approaches, we use assumptions in valuing the assets, including projected revenues and profit margins, royalty rates, obsolescence factors, customer attrition rates, contributory asset charges, tax rates, discount rates and long-term growth rates. Any excess total consideration transferred in a business combination greater than the fair value of identifiable assets acquired net of liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition – The largest stream of revenue is product revenue for shipments of the various products discussed further in Note 18, "Business Segment Information," along with a smaller amount of revenue from services that typically take place over a short period of time. We recognize revenue at a point in time following the transfer of control, which typically occurs when a product is shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the sale agreement, or when services are rendered. Shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and expensed in cost of goods sold as a fulfillment cost when control of the product transfers to the customer. Payment from customers is typically due within 30 days of the sale for sales in the U.S. For sales outside of the U.S., payment terms may be longer based upon local business customs, but are typically due no later than 90 days after the sale.
Foreign Currency Translation – The financial statements of those operations whose functional currency is a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, all assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates, and income statement activities are translated using average exchange rates. The foreign currency translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in operating income. Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) totaled $2.0 million, $(2.4) million, and $1.3 million, respectively, in 2025, 2024, and 2023. In addition to these transaction losses (gains), we recorded $0.4 million, $1.8 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, in 2025, 2024, and 2023 of foreign currency transaction losses in other non-operating expense. These losses resulted from an intercompany note between a domestic and foreign subsidiary, related to the divestiture of discontinued operations, that was denominated in a foreign currency.
Research and Development Expense – Costs related to research and development activities are expensed as incurred. We perform research and development primarily under company-funded programs for commercial products. Research and development expenditures in 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $13.3 million, $10.9 million, and $9.5 million, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes – We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Temporary differences arising between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are used to calculate future income tax assets or liabilities. This method also requires the recognition of deferred tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income (losses) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment of the change. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on its technical merits. If the recognition threshold for the tax position is met, only the portion of the tax benefit that we believe is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized is recorded. Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, statute expirations, new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, future tax planning strategies, or other relevant events.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") provides for a territorial tax system, that includes the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provision beginning in 2018. The GILTI provisions require us to include in our U.S. income tax return certain current year foreign subsidiary earnings net of foreign tax credits, subject to limitation. We elected to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost in the period in which it is incurred.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted into law H.R. 1, “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14” (“The Act”), commonly referred to as “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The Act contains several key tax provisions impacting businesses, including the permanent reinstatement of 100 percent bonus depreciation for qualified property and the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. The Act also modifies the business interest deduction limitation as well as several core international tax provisions. The Company has recorded the impact of these tax law changes in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Act generated a cash tax benefit reducing the U.S. federal estimated tax payments required for the year. The impact on the effective tax rate was immaterial.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15%, referred to as Pillar Two, effective for tax years beginning in 2024. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation to adopt Pillar Two. The adoption of Pillar Two had no impact on our income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 and we expect there to be a minimal impact, if any, in subsequent years. Any impact would be accounted for as a period cost in the period in which it is incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Receivables – Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues we have identified. Doubtful accounts receivable are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount less than the outstanding historical balance or when we have determined the balance will not be collected.
Inventories– Inventories are valued using the first-in, first out ("FIFO") cost method and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of plant and equipment is determined on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings and improvements,5 to 25 years; machinery and equipment,3 to 10 years.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment testing that is conducted at least annually each calendar year in the fourth quarter. Our annual impairment testing for all of our intangible assets is performed as of November 1 of each year.
The goodwill asset impairment test involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Interim tests during the year may be required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
To estimate the fair value of thefour of ourfive reporting units with goodwill balances remaining, we use both a discounted cash flow and a market valuation approach. The discounted cash flow approach uses cash flow projections and a discount rate to calculate the fair value of each reporting unit while the market approach relies on market multiples of similar companies. The key assumptions used for the discounted cash flow approach include projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in working capital, and the discount and tax rates. For the market approach, we select a group of peer companies that we believe are best representative of each reporting unit. We use a 75% weighting for the discounted cash flow valuation approach and a 25% weighting for the market valuation approach, reflecting our belief that the discounted cash flow valuation approach is a better indicator of a reporting unit's value since it reflects the specific cash flows anticipated to be generated in the future by the business.
In the second quarter of 2023, we determined the lower than previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of our Alluxa reporting unit to be a triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test. We determined the carrying value of our Alluxa reporting unit to exceed its fair value and, as a result, we impaired the remaining $60.8 million of goodwill related to Alluxa. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 reflectsno goodwill related to Alluxa.
The fair value of our semiconductor reporting unit, included in the Advanced Surface Technologies segment significantly exceeded its carrying value as of November 1, 2025. All annual impairment tests of goodwill for the Semiconductor reporting unit performed during the 3-years ended December 31, 2025 indicated there was no impairment of goodwill for the Semiconductor reporting unit.
The fair value of thethree reporting units of our Sealing Technologies segment all exceeded their respective carrying values as of November 1, 2025. All annual impairment tests of goodwill for these reporting units performed during the 3-years ended December 31, 2025 indicated there was no impairment of goodwill for the reporting units.
Annual assessments are conducted in the context of information that was reasonably available to us as of the date of the assessment including our best estimates of future sales volumes and prices; material and labor cost and availability; operational efficiency including the impact of projected capital asset additions, and the discount rates and tax rates. We will perform our next annual goodwill impairment tests as of November 1, 2026; or earlier, if adverse changes in circumstances result in our assessment that a triggering event has occurred at any of our reporting units and an interim test is required.
Other intangible assets are recorded at cost or, when acquired as a part of a business combination, at estimated fair value. These assets include customer relationships, patents and other technology-related assets, trademarks, licenses, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets that have definite lives are amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed or the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 1 to 21 years.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which consist primarily of trade names and future products that were in development at the time of the acquisition of AMI in January 2024, are subject to at least annual impairment testing. The impairment testing for the indefinite lived trade names compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount using the relief from royalty method. Key assumptions used in the relief from royalty method are projected revenues and royalty, discount, tax, and terminal growth rates. Impairment testing for these assets was conducted as of November 1 in 2025, 2024 and 2023 and indicated no impairment. Impairment testing related to the future products that were in development at the time of the acquisition of AMI compares the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value using a multi-period excess earnings method. Key assumptions used in the excess earnings method are projected revenues and profit margins, obsolescence factors, and tax, discount, and long-term growth rates. This testing was conducted as of November 1, 2025, the first testing period after the asset was acquired, and indicated no impairment. Interim tests may be required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying value or change the useful life of the asset. See Note 2, "Acquisitions" for additional information regarding the acquisition of AMI.
Debt – Debt issuance costs associated with our senior secured revolving credit facility are presented as an asset and subsequently amortized into interest expense ratably over the term of the revolving debt arrangement. Debt issuance costs associated with any of our other debt instruments that are incremental third-party costs of issuing the debt are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt and amortized into interest expense over the time period to maturity using the interest method.
Derivative Instruments – We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to various risks. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure with the intent of reducing our risk. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions. We use multiple financial institutions for derivative contracts to minimize the concentration of credit risk. The current accounting rules require derivative instruments, excluding certain contracts that are issued and held by a reporting entity that are both indexed to its own stock and classified in shareholders’ equity, be reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Fair Value Measurements – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
We utilize a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions.
The fair value of intangible assets associated with acquisitions is determined using an income valuation approach. Projecting discounted future cash flows requires us to make significant estimates regarding projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in working capital, discount rates, attrition rates, royalty rates, obsolescence rates and tax rates. This non-recurring fair value measurement would be classified as Level 3 due to the absence of quoted market prices or observable inputs for assets of a similar nature.
We review the carrying amounts of long-lived assets when certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. We estimate the fair values of assets subject to long-lived asset impairment based on our own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets. In doing so, we use a market approach when available or an income approach based upon discounted cash flows. The key assumptions used for the discounted cash flow approach include expected cash flows based on internal business plans, projected growth rates, discount rates, and royalty rates for certain intangible assets. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3.
Similarly, the fair value computations for the recurring impairment analyses of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets would be classified as Level 3 due to the absence of quoted market prices or observable inputs. The key assumptions used for the discounted cash flow approach include projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in working capital, discount rates, tax rates and royalty rates for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets. Significant changes in any of those inputs could result in a significantly different fair value measurement.
Pension Benefits -Amortization of the net gain or loss resulting from experience different from that assumed and from changes in assumptions is included as a component of benefit cost. If, as of the beginning of the year, that net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets, the amortization is that excess divided by the average remaining service period of participating employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. We amortize prior service cost using the straight-line basis over the average future service life of active participants.
For segment reporting purposes, we allocate service cost to each location generating those costs. All other components of net periodic pension cost are reported in other (non-operating) expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance requiring expanded income tax disclosures for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The new income tax disclosures standard (the “Tax Standard”) requires additional detail to be disclosed in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as enhanced jurisdictional disclosures for income taxes paid. The Tax Standard permits prospective or retrospective adoption. We adopted the Tax Standard in the year ended December 31, 2025 and elected prospective application. Adoption of the Tax Standard resulted in an expansion of the income tax footnote disclosures for the Company.
In November 2024, new accounting guidance was issued that will require additional disclosures and disaggregation of certain costs and expenses presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance.
In September 2025, new accounting guidance was issued which modernizes the accounting guidance for internal-use software development costs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this new guidance.
| 2. | Acquisitions |
On October 8, 2025, Enpro acquired all of the equity of Overlook Industries, Inc. ("Overlook"). Overlook, which is headquartered in Easthampton, Massachusetts, specializes in the design and fabrication of single-use technologies and other critical componentry for biopharmaceutical production processes.
On November 14, 2025, we acquired all of the equity interests in AlpHa Measurement Holdings, LLC (“AlpHa”). AlpHa, together with its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (i) VL Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation, (ii) AlpHa Measurement Solutions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, (iii) Aurora Scientific Instruments (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of the PRC, and (iv) VATCO, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, is a Houston, Texas-based leading provider of liquid analytical sensing technologies and instrumentation for the measurement of key parameters for liquid processes. AlpHa and its subsidiaries serve customers across a diverse set of end-markets, including industrial process control, water and wastewater, laboratory, and environmental monitoring.
We paid $273.9 million, net of cash acquired, for the two acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. We have funded these acquisitions with available cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the acquisitions of these businesses, there were $7.4 million of acquisition-related costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 which are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Both of these businesses are included within the Sealing Technologies segment.
The purchase prices of Overlook and AlpHa were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill, which is attributable primarily to the value of the workforce and the ongoing operations of the business. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchases was $158.1 million, of which we expect approximately 32% is tax deductible given the structure of the transactions. Inventory acquired included an adjustment to fair value of $5.4 million, of which $2.2 million was amortized to cost of goods sold in the fourth quarter of 2025.
We will continue to evaluate the purchase price allocation of these acquisitions, including the value of intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities and adjust this allocation as appropriate. The allocation of purchase price may be revised during the one-year measurement period as our initial estimates below are finalized. The following table represents the preliminary allocation of purchase price as of December 31, 2025:
| (in millions) | |
|---|---|
| Accounts receivable | $8.9 |
| Inventories | 17.6 |
| Property, plant, and equipment | 3.9 |
| Goodwill | 158.1 |
| Other intangible assets | 107.8 |
| Other assets | 10.8 |
| Deferred income taxes and uncertain tax positions | (16.1) |
| Other liabilities | (17.1) |
| $273.9 | |
Identifiable intangible assets acquired are as follows:
| Weighted-average amortization period | ||
|---|---|---|
| Definite-lived intangible assets acquired: | (in millions) | (years) |
| Customer relationships | $70.7 | 14.5 |
| Existing technology | 26.3 | 15.0 |
| Trademarks | 10.0 | 10.0 |
| Other | 0.8 | 5.0 |
| Identifiable intangible assets acquired | 107.8 | 14.1 |
Sales of $7.9 million and pre-tax loss of $2.0 million for Overlook and AlpHa were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are presented as if these acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2024:
| Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Pro forma net sales | $1,191.6 | $1,097.6 |
| Pro forma income from continuing operations | $48.2 | $66.7 |
These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of the two acquired businesses to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied as of January 1, 2024. The supplemental pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was adjusted to exclude $7.4 million of pre-tax acquisition-related costs related to Overlook and AlpHa. The pro forma financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not reflect the effect of any potential synergies as a result of the integration of businesses acquired in 2024 and 2025. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition of these businesses occurred on January 1, 2024, or of future results of Enpro Inc.
On January 29, 2024, Enpro acquired all of the equity securities of Advanced Micro Instruments, Inc. ("AMI"), a privately held company, for $209.4 million, net of cash acquired. In connection with the acquisition of AMI, there were $3.9 million of acquisition-related costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 which are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
AMI is a leading provider of highly-engineered, application-specific analyzers and sensing technologies that monitor critical parameters to maintain infrastructure integrity, enable process efficiency, enhance safety, and facilitate the clean energy transition. AMI is included within the Sealing Technologies segment.
Based in Costa Mesa, California, AMI serves customers in the midstream natural gas, biogas, industrial processing, cryogenics, food processing, laboratory wastewater and aerospace markets. AMI offers a portfolio of oxygen, hydrogen, sulfide and moisture analyzers and proprietary sensing capabilities that detect contaminants in a variety of processes, including natural gas and biogas streams, which enable operators to avoid flaring and, thereby, reduce CO 2 emissions.
The purchase price of AMI was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill, which is attributable primarily to the value of the workforce and the ongoing operations of the business. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price was $97.0 million, none of which is tax deductible. Identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition totaled $138.1 million, consisting of indefinite and definite-lived intangible assets. Indefinite lived intangible assets relate solely to future products that were in development as of the acquisition date. We will begin amortizing this asset over its estimated life once these products in development become commercially available. Definite-lived intangible assets include proprietary technology, customer relationships, trade names, and non-competition agreements. Inventory acquired included an adjustment to fair value of $1.7 million, all of which was amortized to cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2024.
The purchase price allocation of this acquisition, including the value of intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities, was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Sales of $32.1 million and pre-tax income of $6.9 million for AMI were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are presented as if these acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2023:
| Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Pro forma net sales | $1,051.5 | $1,090.7 |
| Pro forma income from continuing operations | $75.6 | $2.8 |
These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of AMI to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied as of January 1, 2023. The supplemental pro forma net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was adjusted to exclude $3.9 million of pre-tax acquisition-related costs related to AMI. The pro forma financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not reflect the effect of any potential synergies as a result of the integration of AMI. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition of AMI occurred on January 1, 2023, or of future results of Enpro Inc.
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests of Enpro subsidiaries
In connection with our acquisition of Alluxa in October 2020, three Alluxa executives (the "Alluxa Executives") received rollover equity interests in the form of approximately 7% of the total equity interest of an entity we formed for the purpose of acquiring Alluxa (the "Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary"). Pursuant to the limited liability operating agreement (the "Alluxa LLC Agreement") that was entered into with the completion of the transaction, each Alluxa Executive had the right to sell to us, and we had the right to purchase from each Alluxa Executive (collectively, the "Put and Call Rights"), one-third of the Alluxa Executive equity interests in the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary during each ofthree exercise periods in 2024, 2025 and 2026, with any amount not sold or purchased in a prior exercise period being carried forward to the subsequent exercise periods. In January 2024, we agreed with the Alluxa Executives to change the terms of the Put and Call Rights so that all outstanding equity interests could be acquired in 2024. In February of 2024, we acquired all outstanding equity interests in the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary for $17.9 million, which was the minimum fixed price set in the Alluxa LLC Agreement. As this transaction was for the acquisition of all remaining shares of a consolidated subsidiary with no change in control, it was recorded within shareholder's equity and as a financing cash flow in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Enpro is now the sole owner of Alluxa.
The fair value of the Alluxa Executives' equity interests was estimated as of the closing date of those transactions. Due to the presence of the put arrangements and thus that redemption is not solely within our control, the Alluxa Executives' equity interests had been presented as redeemable non-controlling interests prior to our acquisition of those interests. We initially recognized the amount at fair value, inclusive of the put-call provisions. We adjusted the redeemable non-controlling interests when the redemption value exceeded the carrying value with changes recognized as an adjustment to equity.
| 3. | Other Expense, Net |
Operating
We incurred $2.5 million, $6.2 million and $5.0 million of restructuring and impairment costs, excluding goodwill impairment, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 1, "Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies" for information related to goodwill impairment charges incurred in 2023.
Of the restructuring and impairment costs incurred in 2025, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $2.5 million, $2.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to the reorganization of sites and functions, primarily in the United States and $3.4 million and $0.7 million, in 2024 and 2023 respectively, of non-cash impairment charges of long-lived assets.
Restructuring and impairment costs, net by reportable segment are as follows:
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| (in millions) | |||
| Sealing Technologies | $— | $2.3 | $3.0 |
| Advanced Surface Technologies | 1.7 | 3.5 | 0.9 |
| Corporate | 0.8 | 0.4 | 1.1 |
| $2.5 | $6.2 | $5.0 | |
Non-Operating
During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded expense of $5.6 million, $5.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, due to net environmental reserve increases based on additional information at several specific sites and other ongoing obligations of previously owned businesses. Refer to Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies - Environmental," for additional information about our environmental liabilities.
We report the service cost component of pension and other postretirement benefits expense in operating income in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are presented inother income (expense). For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, we reported approximately $2.6 million, $0.1 million, and $1.5 million of expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the components of net benefit cost other than service cost. Refer to Note 14, "Pension," for additional information regarding net benefit costs, including impacts associated with the termination of our U.S. defined benefit plan in 2025.
In connection with the sale of a discontinued operation, in the fourth quarter of 2022 we issued an intercompany note between a domestic and foreign entity that is denominated in a foreign currency. In January 2023, we hedged the outstanding intercompany note to minimize future gains and losses. As a result of this note, we recorded losses of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This intercompany note and the corresponding foreign exchange contracts were both settled in March 2025.
In connection with the redemption of our 5.75% Senior Notes and repayment of the remaining outstanding principal amount of our Term Loan A-2 Facility in the second quarter of 2025, we recognized a $1.7 million loss on extinguishment related to unamortized debt issuance costs recorded in other non-operating expense. Refer to Note 11, "Debt" for further information on our debt refinancing activities in 2025.
We received a $7.5 million long-term promissory note in connection to the sale of a divested business. As part of our regular review of the note, in 2024 we concluded a reserve was needed for expected future credit losses and recorded a loss of $4.5 million, leaving a carrying value on the note of $4.0 million as of December 31, 2024. In 2025, the obligor of the note refinanced its long-term debt. Proceeds from the new debt issuance were used to pay off existing debt holders, including Enpro in full. Total proceeds of $10.2 million were collected in the payoff. The previous $4.5 million loss was recovered and the income from the recovery included in other expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations in the fourth quarter of 2025. The remaining $1.7 million received in excess of the carrying amount was recognized as interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025 on the consolidated statement of operations.
For a further discussion on businesses disposed of, see Note 20, "Discontinued Operations and Dispositions."
Additional costs included in other non-operating primarily are attributable to costs associated with previously divested businesses.

The net deferred income tax liabilities are reflected on a jurisdictional basis as a component of the December 31, 2025 and 2024 Consolidated Balance Sheet line items noted below:
| As of December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|

At December 31, 2025, we had $2.2 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, of which $1.9 million expire at various dates from 2034 through 2041 if unused, and $0.3 million have an indefinite carryforward period. We had U.S. federal tax credit carryforward associated with foreign tax credits of $3.2 million which expires at various dates from 2027 through 2035. We also had state net operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect of $1.8 million which expire at various dates from 2027 through 2045, and state tax credit carryforwards of $1.8 million which expire at various dates from 2027 through 2039. These net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be used to offset a portion of future tax liability and thereby reduce or eliminate our federal, state or foreign income taxes otherwise payable.
Because of the transition tax, GILTI, and Subpart F provisions, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries have been subjected to U.S. income tax or are eligible for the 100 percent dividends-received deduction under Section 245A of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Whether through the application of the 100 percent dividends received deduction, or distribution of these previously-taxed earnings, we do not intend to distribute foreign earnings that will be subject to any significant incremental U.S. or foreign tax. During 2025, we repatriated $306.2 million of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, resulting in $0.4 million of withholding taxes. We have determined that estimating any tax liability on our investment in foreign subsidiaries is not practicable. Therefore, we have not recorded any deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
We determined, based on the available evidence, that it is uncertain whether certain entities in various jurisdictions will generate sufficient future taxable income to recognize certain of these deferred tax assets. As a result, valuation allowances of $3.1 million and $3.7 million have been recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Valuation allowances recorded relate to certain foreign net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where future taxable income is uncertain. In addition, $2.9 million and $2.8 million of the valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, relate to foreign tax credit carryforwards, due to uncertainty around the ability to generate the requisite foreign source income to utilize that portion of the foreign tax credits. Valuation allowances may arise associated with deferred tax assets recorded in acquisition accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, any reversal of a valuation allowance that was recorded in acquisition accounting reduces income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of the gross unrecognized tax benefit balances as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $4.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, would have an impact on our effective tax rate if ultimately recognized.
We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In addition to the gross unrecognized tax benefits above, we had $1.3 million and $1.6 million accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes a benefit of $(0.4) million for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Income tax expense for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest) is as follows:
| (in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |

U.S. federal income tax returns for tax years 2022 and forward remain open to examination. We and our subsidiaries are also subject to income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Our top states that make up the majority of our state tax provision are: California, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Substantially all significant state, local and foreign income tax returns for certain years beginning in 2020 and forward are open to examination. Various state and foreign tax returns are currently under examination. We expect that some of these examinations may conclude within the next twelve months, however, the final outcomes are not yet determinable.

| 5. | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income by the applicable weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock as adjusted for any potentially dilutive shares as of the balance sheet date. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for calendar years 2025, 2024, and 2023 is as follows:

| 2028 | $77.8 |
| 2029 | $76.6 |
| 2030 | $76.0 |
| 9. | Leases |
We regularly enter into operating leases primarily for real estate, equipment, and vehicles. Operating lease arrangements are generally utilized to secure the use of assets if the terms and conditions of the lease or the nature of the asset makes the lease arrangement more favorable than a purchase. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We have elected an accounting policy to combine lease and non-lease components.
Our building leases have remaining terms up tonine years, some of which contain options to renew up tofive years, and some of which contain options to terminate. Some leases contain non-lease components, which may include items such as building common area maintenance, building parking, or general service and maintenance provided for leased assets by the lessor. Our vehicle, equipment, and other leases have remaining lease terms up tothree years, some of which contain options to renew or become evergreen leases, with automatic renewingone-month terms, and some of which have options to terminate.
Our right of use assets and liabilities related to operating leases as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:
| As of December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance Sheet Classification | 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in millions) | |||
| Right-of-use assets | Other assets | $63.8 | $52.5 |
| Current liability | Accrued expenses | $12.7 | $10.2 |
| Long-term liability | Other liabilities | 53.4 | 44.4 |
| Total liability | $66.1 | $54.6 | |
Approximately 97% of the dollar value of our operating lease assets and liabilities arise from real estate leases and approximately 3% arise from equipment and vehicle leases as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 95% of the dollar value of our operating lease assets and liabilities arise from real estate leases and approximately 5% arise from equipment and vehicle leases.
We entered into additional operating leases, including leases acquired through business acquisitions, and renewed existing leases that resulted in new right-of-use assets totaling $23.0 million, $14.5 million, and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate for calculating the right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Accordingly, we determine the interest rate that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in similar economic environments.
Our lease costs and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| Year ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |

| Lease costs: | |||
| Operating lease costs | $13.5 | $11.8 | $11.9 |
| Short-term and variable lease costs | $0.7 | $0.6 | $0.5 |
| Cash flows: | |||
| Operating cash flows from operating leases | $13.5 | $11.6 | $11.7 |
Our weighted average remaining lease term and discount rates at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:
| December 31,2025 | December 31,2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) | 6.2 | 6.0 |
| Weighted average discount rate | 4.5% | 4.1% |
A maturity analysis of undiscounted operating lease liabilities is shown in the table below:
| Operating Lease Payments | |

| Thereafter | 19.3 |
| Total lease payments | 76.8 |
| Less: interest | (10.7) |
| Present value of lease liabilities | $66.1 |
The operating lease payments listed in the table above include all current leases. The payments also include all renewal periods that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
We rarely enter into finance leases or act as a lessor. Since finance lease amounts, lessor details, and finance lease related costs are not significant to our consolidated financial position or results of operations, additional disclosures regarding finance leases are not presented.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On April 9, 2025, we entered into a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 9, 2025 (the “Amended Credit Facility Agreement”) among the Company and our subsidiary, EnPro Holdings, Inc. (“EnPro Holdings”), as borrowers, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto, as designated borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.
The Amended Credit Facility Agreement amended the agreement then governing our senior secured credit facilities and provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which will mature on April 9, 2030. On April 9, 2025, in connection with our entry into the Amended Credit Facility Agreement, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal amount of term loan borrowings outstanding under the agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities prior to such amendment, funded by borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $59.8 million of available cash.
The Amended Credit Facility Agreement provides that we may seek incremental term loans and/or additional revolving credit commitments in an amount equal to the greater of $275.0 million and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four-quarter period for which we have reported financial results, plus additional amounts based on a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. Any incremental term loans will be subject to prepayment with the net cash proceeds of non-permitted debt issuances and with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and casualty or condemnation events not reinvested in our business or applied to prepay such term loans within a specified period.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, at our option, bear interest at either (1) an alternate base rate (the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., and (c) the one-month Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%) or (2) the Term SOFR rate for the applicable interest period plus, in each case, an applicable margin percentage, which initially is 1.375% for Term SOFR borrowings and 0.375% for alternate base rate borrowings and is subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.175% initially, which rate is also subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio.
Enpro Inc. and EnPro Holdings are the permitted borrowers under the Amended Credit Facility Agreement. We have the ability to add wholly owned foreign subsidiaries as borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each of our domestic, consolidated subsidiaries (subject to certain exclusions) is required to guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Amended Credit Facility Agreement and, subject to the permitted exceptions, each of the Company’s existing domestic subsidiaries has entered into the Amended Credit Facility Agreement to provide such a guarantee.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility Agreement are secured by a first-priority pledge of certain assets. The Amended Credit Facility Agreement contains certain financial covenants and required financial ratios including a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Facility Agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Facility Agreement as of December 31, 2025.
The borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2025 was $580.6 million after giving consideration to $9.4 million of outstanding letters of credit and $210.0 million of outstanding borrowings.
Senior Notes
On May 29, 2025, we completed the offering of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.125% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued to investors at 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Senior Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Enpro Inc. and mature on June 1, 2033. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.125% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2025. The Senior Notes are required to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of Enpro’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower under, or guarantees, our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility or guarantees any other Capital Markets Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes) of Enpro or any of the guarantors above a specified threshold. We may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes includes covenants that restrict our ability, subject to specified exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture, to incur liens on assets, engage in certain asset sales, including sale and leaseback transactions, and merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of all or substantially all assets. The indenture further requires us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the event that the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales are not reinvested in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, to the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount.
Each holder of the Senior Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of the Senior Notes held by such holder for cash upon the occurrence of a defined “change of control” event. Our ability to redeem the Senior Notes prior to maturity is subject to certain conditions, including in certain cases the payment of make-whole amounts.
We applied a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes to fund the redemption on June 12, 2025 of all of our outstanding 5.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (having an aggregate principal amount of $350 million) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes as of December 31, 2025.
Scheduled Principal Payments
Future principal payments on long-term debt are as follows:
| (in millions) | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $0.2 |
| 2027 | 0.2 |
| 2028 | 0.2 |
| 2029 | 0.1 |
| 2030 | 210.0 |
| Thereafter | 450.0 |
| $660.7 | |
The payments for long-term debt shown in the table above reflect the contractual principal amount for the Senior Notes and the current outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility. In the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, these amounts are shown net of unamortized debt discounts aggregating $5.4 million pursuant to applicable accounting rules.
Debt Issuance Costs
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we capitalized $8.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with our Amended Credit Facility Agreement and the issuance of the Senior Notes. Additionally, in connection with the redemption of our 5.75% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes due 2026") and repayment of the remaining outstanding principal amount of the term loan borrowings outstanding under the agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities prior to the Amended Credit Facility Agreement in the second quarter of 2025, we recognized a $1.7 million loss on extinguishment related to unamortized debt issuance costs recorded in other non-operating expense.
| 12. | Derivatives and Hedging |
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of local currency balances on our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We strive to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. We periodically enter into contracts to hedge forecasted transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $103.7 million as of December 31, 2024 . As part of our regular practice, we entered into a forward contract to hedge a 95 million Euro exposure on an intercompany note agreement related to proceeds from the sale of our former GGB business, allocated to foreign subsidiaries. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was $103.7 million and $110.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a result of this note, due to the changes in the foreign exchange rate, we recorded losses of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This intercompany note and the corresponding foreign exchange contracts were both settled in March 2025.
The foreign exchange contracts were recorded at their fair market value as of December 31, 2025 with changes in market value recorded in income. The earnings impact of any foreign exchange contract that is specifically related to the purchase of inventory is recorded in cost of sales and the changes in market value of all other contracts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with the exception of our monthly forward contracts to hedge our Euro exposure which are recorded in other expense, net. The balances of foreign exchange derivative assets are recorded in other current assets and the balances of foreign exchange derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In May 2019, we entered into cross currency swap agreements (the "Swap") with a notional amount of $100.0 million to manage an increased portion of our foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest payments related to our then outstanding fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes due 2026, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to interest payments on the fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 89.6 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%, with interest payment dates of April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Swap agreement matures on October 15, 2026.
During the term of the Swap agreement, we will receive semi-annual payments from the counterparties due to the difference between the interest rate on a notional amount the Senior Notes due 2026 and the interest rate on the Euro debt underlying the Swap. There was no principal exchange at the inception of the arrangement, and there will be no exchange at maturity. At maturity (or earlier at our option), we and the counterparty will settle the Swap agreement at its fair value in cash based on the aggregate notional amount and the then-applicable currency exchange rate compared to the exchange rate at the time the Swap agreement was entered into.
We have designated the Swap as a qualifying hedging instrument and are accounting for it as a net investment hedge. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Swap equaled $4.4 million and was recorded within our other (current) liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustment to the Swap agreement, excluding interest accruals related to the above receipts, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within our cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, as the Swap is effective in hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to the Swap are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, aside from the ultimate settlement at maturity with the counterparty, which will be included in investing activities.
| 13. | Fair Value Measurements |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements as of | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| (in millions) | ||
| Assets | ||
| Foreign currency derivatives | $— | $7.9 |
| Deferred compensation assets | 16.8 | 14.0 |
| $16.8 | $21.9 | |
| Liabilities | ||
| Deferred compensation liabilities | $17.8 | $14.8 |
| Foreign currency derivatives | 4.4 | — |
| $22.2 | $14.8 | |
Our deferred compensation assets and liabilities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. Our foreign currency derivatives are classified as Level 2 because their value is calculated based upon observable inputs including market USD/Euro exchange rates and market interest rates.
The carrying values of our significant financial instruments reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, including the Senior Notes that have a determinable fair value based on quoted market prices for identical liabilities and are classified as Level 2 since the market is not active. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these instruments was approximately 3% higher than the carrying value of the Senior Notes. At December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the then outstanding Senior Notes due 2026 approximated the respective fair value.
| 14. | Pension |
We have maintained non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees in the United States, Mexico, Taiwan and France. Salaried employees’ benefit payments are generally determined using a formula that is based on an employee’s compensation and length of service. We closed our defined benefit pension plan for new salaried employees in the United States who joined the Company after January 1, 2006. Effective January 1, 2007, benefits were frozen for all salaried employees who were not age 40 or older as of December 31, 2006 and, effective January 1, 2021, benefits for all remaining eligible salaried employees were frozen. Benefits for hourly employees in the United States were frozen as of January 1, 2024.
Certain of our employees also participate in voluntary contributory retirement savings plans for salaried and hourly employees maintained by us. Under these plans, eligible employees can receive matching contributions up to the first 6% of their eligible earnings. Certain employees hired prior to August 1, 2016 are eligible to receive an additional 2% company contribution each year. We recorded $10.8 million, $10.2 million and $9.5 million in expenses in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for matching contributions under these plans.
In the second quarter of 2024, Enpro initiated a plan to terminate and settle its remaining defined benefit pension plan in the United States. The termination and settlement process for this frozen plan, which preserves retirement benefits due to participants but changes the ultimate payor of such benefits, was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
As a result of the plan termination, Enpro recorded a pretax, noncash settlement loss of $67.2 million in other nonoperating expense in our consolidated statement of operations in the fourth quarter of 2025. The loss was driven primarily by the recognition of actuarial losses previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheet.
During the plan settlement process, existing plan assets fully satisfied the settlement obligations. Excess assets of $8.5 million remained after all benefit liabilities were transferred. These assets will be used to settle certain final costs associated with the plan termination in 2026 and, over the next several years, to fund the aforementioned additional 2% company contribution to eligible employees’ voluntary contributory retirement savings plans. As of December 31, 2025, these excess assets were reflected with balances of $2.1 million and $6.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets (noncurrent), respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet.
Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans historically has been to contribute amounts that are at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. No contributions were made in 2025 or 2024, and in 2023, we contributed $5.5 million, in cash, to our U.S. pension plans. The contribution was made in 2023 in order to meet a funding level sufficient to avoid variable fees from the PBGC on the underfunded portion of our pension liability. We expect to make total contributions of approximately $1.2 million in 2026 to our foreign pension plans.
The projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the defined benefit pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $7.6 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2025, and $258.5 million and $249.6 million at December 31, 2024, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the defined benefit pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $5.4 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2025, and $256.5 million and $249.6 million at December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table sets forth the changes in projected benefit obligations and plan assets of our defined benefit pension and other non-qualified and postretirement plans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $5.4 million and $256.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost and other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income for our defined benefit pension plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
| Year Ended December 31, | |||

| Weighted-Average Assumptions Used to Determine Benefit Obligations | |||
| Discount rate | 6.520% | 4.920% | 5.125% |
| Weighted-Average Assumptions Used to Determine Net Periodic Benefit Cost | |||
| Discount rate | 5.000% | 5.125% | 5.625% |
| Expected long-term return on plan assets | 4.8% | 5.5% | 5.6% |
The discount rate used to determine benefit obligations reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. The discount rate was determined with a model that uses a theoretical portfolio of high quality corporate bonds specifically selected to produce cash flows closely related to how we would settle our retirement obligations. This produced a discount rate of 6.52% at December 31, 2025, which relates only to our foreign plans after termination of the U.S. plan. As of the date of these financial statements, there are no known or anticipated changes in our discount rate assumption that will impact our pension expense in 2026.
The overall expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined based upon weighted-average historical returns over an extended period of time for the asset classes in which the plans invest according to our current investment policy.
We used the Pri-2012 base mortality table with the MP-2021 projection scale to value our domestic pension liabilities in 2024.
Plan Assets
The asset allocation for pension plans at the end of 2024 was 76% fixed income and 24% cash equivalents. The excess assets related to the plan termination described above of $8.5 million at December 31, 2025 are invested in cash and cash equivalents.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, and pertain wholly to our foreign plans, are expected to be paid in the following calendar years:
| PensionBenefits | |
|---|---|
| (in millions) | |
| 2026 | $0.8 |
| 2027 | $0.1 |
| 2028 | $0.9 |
| 2029 | $0.4 |
| 2030 | $1.1 |
| Years 2031 – 2035 | $4.1 |
Other Post-Employment Retirement Benefits
We have liabilities related to other post-employment retirement benefits that were offered to certain employees of several legacy businesses formerly owned by Enpro's predecessor as well as certain continuing operations. New employees are not offered these benefits and substantially all employees who were offered these benefits are retired. Disclosures related to these benefits are not included in the discussion and tables above. At December 31, 2025, we had $3.2 million of liabilities related to these benefits.
| 15. | Shareholders' Equity |
We have a policy under which we intend to declare regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock, as determined by our board of directors, after taking into account our cash flows, earnings, financial position and other relevant matters. In accordance with this policy, total dividend payments of $26.2 million, $25.3 million, and $24.3 million were made during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
On February 13, 2026 we announced that our board of directors had increased the quarterly dividend to $0.32 per share, commencing with the dividend to be paid on March 18, 2026 to all shareholders of record as of March 4, 2026.
Enpro’s board of directors approved atwo-year share repurchase authorization in October 2024, replacing the previous $50.0 million authorization that expired in October 2024. No shares were purchased under the prior repurchase program. Under the replacement authorization, which, other than the expiration date, is identical to the prior authorization, the Company may repurchase up to $50.0 million of shares in both open market and privately negotiated transactions. The Company’s management is authorized to determine the timing and amount of any such repurchases based on its evaluation of market conditions, capital alternatives, and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under Rule 10b5-1 plans, which could result in the repurchase of shares during periods when the Company otherwise would be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws.
The shares for all repurchase plans are retired upon purchase.
| 16. | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component (after tax) are as follows:
| (in millions) | UnrealizedTranslationAdjustments | Pension andOtherPostretirementPlans | Total |

(1) These accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. Since these are components of net periodic pension cost other than service cost, the affected Consolidated Statement of Operations caption is other (non-operating) expense. (See Note 14, "Pension" for additional details).
| 17. | Equity Compensation Plans |
We have equity compensation plans (the “Plans”) that provide for the delivery of shares pursuant to various market and performance-based incentive awards. As of December 31, 2025, there are 1.5 million shares available for future awards. Such amount assumes issuance at the maximum performance level for outstanding performance share awards. Our policy is to issue new shares to satisfy share delivery obligations for awards made under the Plans.
The Plans permit awards of restricted share units to be granted to executives and other key employees. Generally, share units awarded vest in equal annual increments over three years. Compensation expense related to the restricted share units is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of the grant and is amortized over the applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. As of December 31, 2025, there was $5.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted share units expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining amortization period of 1.8 years.
Under the terms of the Plans, performance share awards were granted to executives and other key employees during 2025, 2024 and 2023. Each grant will vest to the extent Enpro achieves specific performance objectives at the end of each three-year performance period. Additional amounts under these awards are paid out if objectives are exceeded, but some or all the awards may be forfeited if objectives are not met.
The amount earned at the end of a performance period with respect to performance share awards granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023, if any, are to be paid in shares of our common stock, with the amount to be delivered being reduced by the number of shares equal in value to applicable withholding taxes if the award recipient so chooses. The performance share awards provide for dividend-equivalent rights for the payment of cash equal to the amount of dividends that would be payable on the shares earned under the award as if such shares were held throughout the performance period, with the cash payment being made only following the vesting of the performance share award. Performance share awards are forfeited if a grantee terminates employment during thethree-year performance period, except in the case of retirement.
Compensation expense related to the performance shares is computed using the fair value of the awards at the date of grant. Potential shares to be issued for performance share awards granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023 are subject to a market condition based on the performance of our stock, measured based upon a calculation of total shareholder return, compared to a group of peer companies. The fair value of these awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology. Compensation expense for these awards based upon this grant date fair value is amortized using the straight-line method over the applicable performance period.
The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each award. We granted performance share awards, payable in shares of our common stock, to eligible participants on February 13, 2025, February 15, 2024 and February 16, 2023. We used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of these awards:
| Expected stock price volatility | Risk free interest rate | |
|---|---|---|
| Enpro Inc. | 33.85% | 4.26% |
| S&P 600 Capital Goods Index | 38.91% | 4.26% |
| Enpro Inc. | 32.89% | 4.34% |
| S&P 600 Capital Goods Index | 39.67% | 4.34% |
| EnPro Industries, Inc. | 36.78% | 4.34% |
| S&P 600 Capital Goods Index | 44.65% | 4.34% |
The expected volatility assumption for us and each member of the peer group is based on each entity’s historical stock price volatility over a period equal to the length from the valuation date to the end of the performance cycle. The annual expected dividend yield is based on annual expected dividend payments and the stock price on the date of grant. The risk free rate equals the yield, as of the valuation date, on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury STRIPS that have a remaining term equal to the length of the remaining performance cycle.
During the first quarter of calendar years 2021 and 2022, the Company granted performance shares awards to certain key employees which are payable in cash, based on the value of the shares earned under the awards, after athree-year vesting period. The awards granted in 2021 and 2022 were settled in the first quarter of 2024 and 2025, respectively. Actual payments were made to participating employees based on an initial target amount, which is adjusted based on the relative three-year performance of Enpro’s share price versus a set of peer companies. Expense recognized for calendar years 2024 and 2023 related to the cash-settled awards was $2.5 million and $9.1 million respectively.
As of December 31, 2025 there was $6.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share awards. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years.
A summary of award activity under the Plans is as follows:
| Restricted Share Units | Performance Shares - Equity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares | Weighted-AverageGrant DateFair Value | Shares | Weighted-AverageGrant DateFair Value | |
| Nonvested at December 31, 2024 | 99,018 | 138.75 | 101,782 | 187.91 |

| Nonvested at December 31, 2025 | 91,205 | $165.22 | 89,194 | $248.90 |
The maximum potential number of shares to be issued at December 31, 2025 is represented by the restricted share units nonvested balance at December 31, 2025. The number of nonvested performance share awards shown in the table above represents the maximum potential shares to be issued. We account for forfeitures when they occur as opposed to estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest as of the grant date.
Non-qualified and incentive stock options were granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023. No stock option has a term exceeding 10 years from the date of grant. All stock options were granted at not less than 100% of fair market value (as defined) on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2025, there was $3.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options.
The following table provides certain information with respect to stock options as of December 31, 2025:

We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Key inputs into this formula include expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. We use the closing stock price on the grant date for determining the fair value. This fair value is amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period. All options issued vest in equal annual increments over three years.
The expected term represents the period that our stock options are expected to be outstanding, and is determined based on historical experience of similar awards, given the contractual terms of the awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior. The fair value of stock options reflects a volatility factor calculated using historical market data for Enpro's common stock. The dividend assumption is based on our current expectations for our dividend policy. We base the risk-free interest rate on the yield to maturity at the time of the stock option grant on zero-coupon U.S. government bonds having a remaining life equal to the option's expected life.
The following assumptions were used to estimate the indicated fair value of the 2025 option awards:
| Grant Date | |

| Fair-value at grant date (per share) | $85.99 |
| Assumptions: | |
| Average expected term | 6 years |
| Expected volatility | 40.49% |

With respect to certain phantom shares awarded in prior years, we will pay each non-employee director in cash the fair market value of the director's phantom shares upon termination of service as a member of the board of directors. The remaining phantom shares granted will be paid out in the form of one share of our common stock for each phantom share, with the value of any fractional phantom shares paid in cash. Expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 related to these share and phantom share grants was $1.3 million, $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. No cash payments were used to settle phantom shares in 2025, 2024 or 2023.
| 18. | Business Segment Information |
We identify ourtwo operating businesses, Sealing Technologies and Advanced Surface Technologies, as reportable segments. Factors considered in determining our reportable segments include the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold, or solutions provided, the production processes and the types of customers. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, which we have identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), regularly evaluates the individual performance of both operating segments by reviewing segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other selected items ("Adjusted Segment EBITDA"), which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The CODM assesses Adjusted Segment EBITDA in comparison to prior periods, previously forecasted results and anticipated/experienced market trends in determining how to allocate operating and capital resources between the operating segments. The only significant segment expense categories reviewed by the CODM are cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative costs.
Our Sealing Technologies segment engineers and manufactures value-added products and solutions that safeguard a variety of critical environments, including: metallic, non-metallic and composite material gaskets; dynamic seals; compression packing; elastomeric components; custom-engineered mechanical seals used in diverse applications; hydraulic components; test, measurement and sensing applications; sanitary gaskets; hoses and fittings for hygienic process industries; fluid transfer products for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries; and commercial vehicle solutions used in wheel-end and suspension components that customers rely upon to ensure safety on our roadways.
These products are used in a variety of markets, including chemical and petrochemical processing, nuclear energy, hydrogen, natural gas, food and biopharmaceutical processing, primary metal manufacturing, mining, water and waste treatment, commercial vehicle, aerospace (including commercial space), medical, filtration and semiconductor fabrication. In all these industries, the performance and durability of our proprietary products and solutions are vital for the safety and environmental protection of our customers’ processes. Many of our products and solutions are used in highly demanding applications, often in harsh environments, where the cost of failure is extremely high relative to the cost of our offerings to our customers. These environments include those where extreme temperatures, extreme pressures, corrosive agents, strict tolerances, or worn equipment create challenges for product performance. Sealing Technologies offers customers widely recognized applied engineering, innovation, process know- how and enduring reliability, driving a lasting aftermarket for many of our products and solutions.
Our Advanced Surface Technologies (AST) segment applies proprietary technologies, processes, and capabilities to deliver a highly differentiated suite of products and solutions for challenging applications in high-growth markets. The segment’s products and solutions are used in demanding environments requiring performance, precision and repeatability, with a low tolerance for failure.

In many instances, AST capabilities drive products and solutions that enable the performance of our customers’ high-value processes through an entire life cycle.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for Enpro.
Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with a portion of the rollover equity from the acquisition of Alluxa being subject to reduction for certain types of employment terminations of the Alluxa Executives. This expense was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and is directly related to the terms of the acquisitions. In the first quarter of 2024, Enpro acquired all of the Alluxa non-controlling interests from the Alluxa Executives.

| 19. | Commitments and Contingencies |
General
A description of certain environmental and other legal matters relating to certain of our subsidiaries is included in this section. In addition to the matters noted herein, we are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, other litigation and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe the outcome of such other litigation and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Expenses for administrative and legal proceedings are recorded when incurred.
Environmental
Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations of the U.S. and foreign countries. We take a proactive approach in our efforts to comply with these laws and regulations as they relate to our manufacturing operations and in proposing and implementing any remedial plans that may be necessary. We also regularly conduct comprehensive environmental, health and safety audits at our facilities to maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency.
Although we believe past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable regulations, we or one or more of our subsidiaries are involved with various investigation and remediation activities at 19 sites, all of which relate to the activities of legacy operations prior to the formation of Enpro in 2002. At 9 of the 19 sites, the future cost of investigation or remediation is expected to be less than $500,000. At 18 of the 19 sites, one or more of our subsidiaries (or an entity that merged with and into one of our subsidiaries) formerly conducted business operations but no longer do. We continue to conduct manufacturing operations at one site. In addition to these 19 sites, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has provided us notice that Enpro has potential responsibility at one additional site where one of our subsidiaries formerly conducted business operations but no longer does. We have responded to the EPA that we do not have responsibility at that site and are awaiting the EPA's response.
Our policy is to accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, which for ongoing remediation activities is typically over a period of five years and includes identified capital expenditures beyond the period. For sites with multiple future projected cost scenarios for identified feasible investigation and remediation options where no one estimate is more likely than all the others, our policy is to accrue the lowest estimate among the range of estimates. The measurement of the liability is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual situation and takes into consideration factors such as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and prior experience in the remediation of similar contaminated sites. Liabilities are established for all sites based on these factors. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional technical data and legal information. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, we had recorded liabilities aggregating $42.2 million and $40.7 million, respectively, in other liabilities for estimated future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. The current portion of our aggregate environmental liability included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2025, was $7.9 million. These amounts have been recorded on an undiscounted basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other parties potentially being fully or partially liable, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities.
We believe that our accruals for specific environmental liabilities are adequate based on currently available information. Based upon limited information regarding any incremental remediation or other actions that may be required at these sites, we cannot reasonably estimate any further loss or a reasonably possible range of loss related to these matters. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures due to unknown and changing conditions, changing government regulations and legal standards regarding liability.
Lower Passaic River Study Area
Based on our prior ownership of Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc. (“Crucible”), we may have contingent liabilities in one or more significant environmental matters. One such matter, which is included in the 19 sites referred to above, is the Lower Passaic River Study Area ("LPRSA") of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in New Jersey. The LPRSA includes a 17-mile tidal portion of the Passaic River stretching from the river’s mouth at Newark Bay to Dundee Dam in Garfield, New Jersey. Crucible operated a steel mill abutting the Passaic River in Harrison, New Jersey from the early 1900s until 1974, which was one of many industrial operations on the river dating back to the 1800s. Certain contingent environmental liabilities related to this site were retained by a predecessor of EnPro Holdings when it sold a majority interest in Crucible Materials Corporation (the successor of Crucible) in 1985. The EPA notified our subsidiary in September 2003 that it is a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for Superfund response actions in the LPRSA.
The EPA is leading the response actions for the LPRSA, which it has divided intotwo operating units: Operating Unit 2 (“OU2”), covering the lower 8.3 miles of the LPRSA, and Operating Unit 4 (“OU4”), encompassing the entire LPRSA. OU2 is a part of the larger OU4. The EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) for OU2 in March 2016, selecting a remedy involving construction of an engineered cap over the riverbed at an estimated cost of $1.38 billion. In September 2021, the EPA issued a ROD for OU4, selecting an interim remedy consisting of targeted dredging and capping for the portion of OU4 not including OU2, followed by a monitoring period to assess the river system’s response, at an estimated cost of $441 million.
The EPA also initiated an allocation process in 2017, explaining that a fair, carefully structured, information-based allocation of responsibility for the LPRSA was necessary to promote settlements. This effort resulted in the EPA’s retained allocator issuing a final Allocation Recommendation Report (the “Report”) in December 2020. Using the Report and other factors as a basis for subsequent settlement negotiations, more than 80 PRPs, including EnPro Holdings, entered an agreement with the EPA to resolve their share of responsibility concerning both OU2 and OU4, and a Consent Decree resolving the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") claims was lodged with the District Court of New Jersey in December 2022. EnPro Holdings paid $5.9 million into escrow as its share of the settlement in September 2022, and the District Court of New Jersey approved and entered the settlement in December 2024. Two non-settling PRPs, Nokia of America Corporation and Occidental Chemical Corporation (“OCC”), the successor to the entity that operated the Diamond Alkali chemical manufacturing facility, intervened and subsequently appealed the court's approval of the settlement. EnPro Holding’s payment will be held in escrow until all appeals have been resolved by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
In October 2025, following the announcement that Berkshire Hathaway would be acquiring OCC, OCC notified the Third Circuit that it is now known as Environmental Resource Holdings LLC as a result of a corporate reorganization that split the appellant entity into two entities, Environmental Resource Holdings LLC and Occidental Chemical Corporation (a Texas corporation) ("OxyChem TX"). Certain PRPs, including EnPro Holdings, filed a declaratory judgment action in February 2026 to obtain an order holding the newly formed OxyChem TX is joint and severally liable for its predecessor's CERCLA liabilities at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site, including the LPRSA. That action is currently pending.
Before the settlement that is now the subject of the pending appeal was reached, OCC filed claims in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against more than 120 parties, including EnPro Holdings, seeking recovery of certain response costs under the CERCLA. Such costs include an estimated $165 million to develop and design the remedy for the LPRSA. This litigation, which will include consideration of the effect of the settlement on OCC’s cost‑recovery claims, is currently stayed by the Court pending resolution of the appeal described above
Our reserve for the LPRSA at December 31, 2025 was $0.7 million, which is for work remaining at the site that is not covered by the settlement. Further adjustments to our reserve for the site are possible as new or additional information becomes available.
Except with respect to the LPRSA, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss related to any other contingent environmental liability based on our prior ownership of Crucible. See the section entitled “Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc.” in this footnote for additional information.
Arizona Uranium Mines
EnPro Holdings has received notices from the EPA asserting that it is a potentially responsible party under the CERCLA as the successor to a former operator ofeight uranium mines in Arizona, including two EPA-designated “priority” mines located in the Cameron Chapter of the Navajo Nation and six EPA-designated “non-priority” mines located in the more remote Bodaway Gap Chapter of the Navajo Nation, which are collectively one of the 19 sites referenced above. The former operator conducted operations at these mines from 1954 to 1957, prior to Enpro's formation in 2002. In the 1990s, remediation work performed by others consisted of capping the exposed areas of these mines. We entered into an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Interim Removal Action with the EPA effective November 7, 2017 for the investigation and remediation of these mines. We entered into a First Modification of Original Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent effective July 8, 2022 for the performance of Engineering Evaluations and Cost Analyses (EE/CA's) of potential remedial options at each of the mines. Our reserve at December 31, 2025 for this site was $11.5 million, which reflects estimated costs to consolidate mining waste on-site and construct enhanced caps for each of the eight mines and is the low end of the range of our reasonably likely liability with respect to these mines.
In August 2025, EnPro Holdings completed and submitted draft EE/CAs for thetwo priority mines located in the Cameron Chapter to the EPA for review, including cost estimates for multiple remedial options for each of the mines. The evaluated remedial options include consolidating and capping mining wastes on site on the low end of reasonably likely liability and excavating and transporting mining waste to an off-site “regional repository” location on the high end of reasonably likely liability. Estimable costs of our reasonably likely liability with respect to thetwo priority mines range from $3.6 million to $15.9 million based on these two options. The draft EE/CAs that Enpro Holdings submitted to the EPA ranked consolidating and capping mining wastes on site as the most preferred option at each of thetwo priority mines. The EPA’s review of the draft EE/CAs is ongoing. The accrual for thetwo priority mines is $3.6 million, which is the low end of the range of our reasonably likely liability.
Investigation of thesix non-priority mines in the Bodaway Gap Chapter is ongoing, and we expect to prepare and submit draft EE/CAs to the EPA in the next one to two years. The accrual for thesix non-priority mines is set at $7.6 million, which is the low end of the range of our reasonably likely liability with respect to these mines and is based on the remedial option of capping and consolidating wastes on site. The EPA has not identified a potential “regional repository” location for mines in the Bodaway Gap Chapter. Accordingly, we are not able at this time to estimate the upper end of a range of reasonably likely liability with respect to the non-priority mines.
On October 18, 2021, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona approved and entered a Consent Decree pursuant to which the U.S government will reimburse the Company for 35% of necessary costs of response, as defined in 42 U.S.C. section 9601(25), previously or to be in the future incurred by the Company which arise out of or in connection with releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at or emanating from these mines. Based on current reserve amounts, we expect future contributions of $3.7 million from the U.S. government towards remediation of these mines. This amount is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025.
GGB Industrial Site Remediation Act (ISRA) Investigation and Cleanup
Under the agreement governing the November 2022 sale of GGB to The Timken Company, Enpro retained responsibility for compliance with New Jersey's Industrial Site Remediation Act ("ISRA") with respect totwo GGB facilities located in Thorofare, New Jersey, which are collectivelyone of the 19 sites referenced above. ISRA requires the environmental investigation and remediation of industrial properties in association with the closure, sale or transfer of operations. All work under ISRA must be conducted under the direction of a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (“LSRP”) certified by a state licensing board. On September 9, 2024, the Company’s LSRP submitted Preliminary Assessment and Site Investigation Reports (“PA/SI Reports”) for this site to the state agency, confirming that the preliminary assessment identified, among other things, concentrations of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) in soil and groundwater at the site. The PA/SI Reports also include the LSRP’s recommendations to further investigate the PFAS impacts in soil and groundwater at the site. Our reserve at December 31, 2025 for the site was $2.8 million. These reserves are based on currently available facts about the site and may be revised as investigation of the site continues in accordance with the ISRA requirements, or based on future technical consultation with the state agency.
Water Valley
In connection with manufacturing operations of a former division of EnPro Holdings, the Company has been implementing and managing a solution to clean trichloroethylene ("TCE") soil and groundwater contamination at a location in Water Valley, Mississippi (the “Water Valley Facility”). A corporate predecessor of EnPro Holdings operated the Water Valley Facility from 1972 through 1996. By 1987, TCE was no longer used at the Water Valley Facility. In 1996, Enpro Holdings’ corporate predecessor sold the division, including the Water Valley Facility, to BorgWarner. In 2021, BorgWarner sold the Water Valley Facility to Solero Technologies, which currently operates it.
On June 4, 2024, eight former employees at the Water Valley Facility filed a complaint in the United States District Court, Northern District of Mississippi against Enpro Inc., EnPro Holdings and others alleging personal injury, nuisance, and other claims related to alleged exposure to TCE. In response to an order of the Federal Court issued on March 17, 2025 dismissing the former employees’ occupational exposure related claims with prejudice based upon the exclusivity of the Mississippi Workers' Compensation Act and identifying defects in the remaining claims, theeight former employees filed an amended complaint with the Federal Court re-alleging certain of their remaining claims on March 31, 2025. EnPro Holdings has filed a motion to dismiss those claims in this amended complaint, which remains pending. Legal counsel for these former employees have indicated in preliminary discussions with the Company's legal counsel that they have identified a significant number of potential claimants who are not current or former employees of the Water Valley Facility for whom they may file complaints outside the workers' compensation system. At this time, the Company does not have further information regarding potential non-employee claimants and no such additional lawsuits have been filed.
From May 28, 2025 through August 27, 2025,150 individuals, including theeight former employees who filed the amended complaint described above, filed petitions with the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission alleging that they are former employees at the Water Valley Facility and suffered injury caused by workplace exposure to toxic chemicals. These claimants allegedly worked at the Water Valley Facility for periods spanning from prior to 1972 to present. These petitions name EnPro Holdings’ corporate predecessor and certain of the subsequent operators of the Water Valley Facility as potentially liable employers, and one of these employers, BorgWarner, has sent a demand for indemnification to Enpro with respect to these claims. The discovery process for these workers' compensation petitions is ongoing and is in early stages.
Given the early stage of these pending legal proceedings, Enpro cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible outcomes of the pending Federal Court lawsuit of theeight former employees, the pending workers' compensation petitions, or any other potential lawsuits or claims based on similar allegations, andno reserves have been accrued for such legal proceedings at December 31, 2025. We have notified relevant workers' compensation and general liability insurers of the claims and petitions described above.
Our reserve at December 31, 2025 for the Water Valley Facility for ongoing cleanup and monitoring costs and operation of a permanent vapor intrusion remediation system was $7.9 million.
Pine Bluff
For several years, EnPro Holdings has been conducting investigation and remediation activities to address TCE contamination in groundwater and areas of polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) oil-impacted soil at an electrical transformer facility site in Pine Bluff, Arkansas (the “Pine Bluff Site”). A corporate predecessor of EnPro Holdings operated the site from the 1950s until its sale in 1994 to a buyer that continues to manufacture electrical transformers there. As the corporate successor to the former owner and operator, EnPro Holdings remains responsible for environmental conditions that existed prior to the sale.
In addition to the ongoing operation of a “pump and treat” groundwater remediation system, the reserves for the Pine Bluff Site include projected costs for implementing in situ chemical reduction to further address groundwater contamination; evaluating whether the groundwater plume may be affecting indoor air quality within on-site structures and, if necessary, mitigating any confirmed vapor intrusion; conducting additional investigation and monitoring of off-site impacts; and continuing to address PCB oil impacts to on‑site soils. Our reserve at December 31, 2025 for the site was $7.2 million.
Other Environmental
In addition to thefive sites discussed above, we have additional reserves of $12.0 million for the remaining 14 sites. These amounts represent a reasonable estimate of our probable future costs to remediate these sites given the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2025.
Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc.
Crucible, which was engaged primarily in the manufacture and distribution of high technology specialty metal products, was a wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro Holdings until 1983 when its assets and liabilities were distributed to a new subsidiary, Crucible Materials Corporation. EnPro Holdings sold a majority of the outstanding shares of Crucible Materials Corporation in 1985 and divested its remaining minority interest in 2004. Crucible Materials Corporation filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2009 and is no longer conducting operations.
We have certain ongoing obligations, which are included in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, including workers’ compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters, in addition to those mentioned previously related to EnPro Holdings' period of ownership of Crucible. Based on EnPro Holdings' prior ownership of Crucible, we may have certain additional contingent liabilities, including liabilities in one or more significant environmental matters included in the matters discussed in “Environmental” above. Except with respect to those matters for which we have an accrued liability as discussed in "Environmental" above, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss related to these contingent liabilities.
Warranties
We provide warranties on many of our products. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product and the market in which the product is sold. We record a liability based upon estimates of the costs we may incur under our warranties after a review of historical warranty experience and information about specific warranty claims. Adjustments are made to the liability as claims data, historical experience, and trends result in changes to our estimate.
Changes in the product warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

In the third quarter of 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our GGB business and announced our intention to sell Garlock Pipeline Technologies, Inc. ("GPT"). These businesses comprised our remaining Engineered Materials segment ("Engineered Materials"). As a result of classifying the GGB and GPT businesses as held for sale in the third quarter of 2022, we determined Engineered Materials to be discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have reported, for all periods presented, the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of Engineered Materials as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
On January 30, 2023 we completed the sale of GPT. In 2023, we received $28.9 million, net of transaction fees and cash sold, resulting in a pretax gain of $14.6 million recognized in the first quarter of 2023.
The sale of GGB closed on November 4, 2022 to The Timken Company. We received $298.2 million, net of transaction fees and cash sold, including $3.1 million of payments made in the first quarter of 2023.
The results of our discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, were as follows:
