TREDEGAR CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar’s condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the condensed consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All such adjustments, unless otherwise detailed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature.

The Company operates on a calendar fiscal year except for the Aluminum Extrusions segment, which operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year basis. As such, the fiscal third quarter for 2024 and 2023 for this segment references 13-week periods ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively. The Company does not believe the impact of reporting the results of this segment as stated above is material to the consolidated financial results. The Company may fund or receive cash from the Aluminum Extrusions segment based on Aluminum Extrusion’s cash flows from operations during the intervening period from Aluminum Extrusion’s fiscal quarter end and the Company’s fiscal quarter end.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 that is included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”) but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Sale of Flexible Packaging Films

On September 1, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Flexible Packaging Films business (also referred to as "Terphane") to Oben Group (the "Terphane Sale"). Completion of the sale is contingent upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain competition filing approvals by authorities in Brazil and Colombia.

The Colombian authority cleared the merger review regarding the transaction in early February 2024. On October 27, 2023, the Company filed the requisite competition forms with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (“CADE”) in Brazil. As part of the Brazilian merger review process regarding the sale of Terphane to Oben Group ("Oben"), on May 13, 2024, the General Superintendence of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("SG-CADE") issued a non-binding opinion ("SG Opinion") recommending the rejection of the transaction. Following this first stage of the two-stage Brazilian merger review process for complex transactions, the case was submitted to the CADE Tribunal, in accordance with the customary Brazilian merger review process.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company reported results for Terphane as a continuing operation, due to the uncertainty related to the Brazilian merger review process. On October 16, 2024, CADE approved a merger control agreement allowing Tredegar to proceed with the sale of Terphane to Oben. This approval was the indication that the sale of Terphane was probable. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.

Closure of PE Films Technical Center

In August 2023, the Company adopted a plan to close the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA and reduce its efforts to develop and sell films supporting the semiconductor market. Research & development activities for PE Films are now being performed at the production facility in Pottsville, PA. PE Films continues to have new business opportunities primarily relating to surface protection films that protect components of flat panel and flexible displays. All activities ceased at the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. The Company recognized expense incurred through September 30, 2024 associated with the exit activities of $0.2 million for building closure costs. In addition, the Company recognized a non-cash loss on the lease abandonment ($0.3 million).

Supply Chain Financing

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $11.8 million and $15.8 million, respectively, of the Company’s accounts payable were financed by participating suppliers through third-party financial institutions.

Goodwill

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s reporting units with goodwill were Surface Protection in PE Films ("Surface Protection") and Futura in Aluminum Extrusions (“Futura”). No events or circumstances were identified during the third quarter of 2024 that indicate that Surface Protection's fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying amount. No events or circumstances were identified during the third quarter of 2023 that indicated that Futura’s fair value was more likely than not less than its carrying amount.

Uncertainty about the timing of a recovery in the consumer electronics market persists, and manufacturers in the supply chain for consumer electronics continue to experience reduced capacity utilization and inventory corrections. In light of the limited visibility on the timing of a recovery and the expected adverse future impact to the Surface Protection business, coupled with a cautious outlook on new product development opportunities, the Company performed a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis of the Surface Protection component of PE Films, as of September 30, 2023. This analysis utilized projections that contemplate the expected market recovery and business conditions, including for its three significant customers, as these events indicated Surface Protection’s fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying amount.

The Company estimated the fair value of Surface Protection at September 30, 2023 by: (i) computing an estimated enterprise value (“EV”) utilizing the discounted cash flow method (the “DCF Method”), (ii) applying adjustments for any surplus or deficient working capital, (iii) adding cash and cash equivalents, and (iv) subtracting interest-bearing debt. The DCF Method was used, incorporating Surface Protection’s latest projections which reflect updated expected market recovery levels, feasibility of launching new product applications, competitive pricing and cash flows associated with production efficiencies, as well as consideration of cost savings and inventory corrections.

The analysis concluded that the fair value of Surface Protection was less than its carrying value, thus a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $19.5 million ($15.1 million after deferred income tax benefits) was recognized during the third quarter of 2023 and $34.9 million ($27.0 million after deferred income tax benefits) during the first nine months of 2023.

Accounting standards not yet adopted

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06 to amend various paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to primarily reflect the issuance of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Bulletin No. 33-10532. ASU 2023-06 will impact various disclosure areas, including the statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, debt, equity, derivatives, and transfers of financial assets. The amendments in this ASU 2023-06 will be effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 to improve reportable segment disclosure and requirements, primarily through the enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company has three reportable segments and continues to evaluate additional disclosures that may be required in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to improve the income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU will require the Company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the Company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Tredegar sponsored a noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plan covering certain current and former U.S. employees. As of January 31, 2018, the plan no longer accrued benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing all future benefits under the plan. On February 10, 2022, Tredegar announced the initiation of a process to terminate and settle its frozen defined benefit pension plan through lump sum distributions and the purchase of annuity contracts. On November 3, 2023, the pension plan termination and settlement process for the Company was completed, and the remaining pension plan obligation was transferred to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. During 2023, the Company recognized a total pre-tax pension settlement loss of $92.3 million.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company remeasured the pension plan, which resulted in a pre-tax pension settlement loss in the condensed consolidated results of operation of $25.6 million. The remeasurement of the pension benefit obligation and plan assets was triggered by $64.5 million of lump sum distributions from the pension plan assets which exceeded the pension plan's service and interest cost.

Tredegar also has a non-qualified supplemental pension plan covering certain employees. Effective December 31, 2005, further participation in this plan was terminated and benefit accruals for existing participants were frozen. Pension expense recognized for this plan was immaterial in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. This information has been included in the pension benefit table below.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the pension and other postretirement benefit programs reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are shown below:

Net periodic benefit cost	$	72	$	35,521	$	91	$	46
(a) Pension settlement loss, included in the consolidated statements of operation, represents pension settlement charges due to lump sum payments to participants.

Pension and other postretirement liabilities were $7.1 million and $7.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively ($0.7 million included in “Accrued expenses” at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 with the remainder included in “Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets).

Tredegar funds its other postretirement benefits on a claims-made basis; for 2024, the Company anticipates the amount will be consistent with amounts paid for the year ended December 31, 2023, or approximately $0.4 million.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, determined as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2024	2023	2024	2023
Weighted average shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share	34,391	34,264	34,364	34,081
Incremental dilutive shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock	—	—	—	—
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share	34,391	34,264	34,364	34,081

Incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock are computed under the treasury stock method using the average market price during the related period. If the Company had reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock would have been 2,353,905. Average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and

restricted stock were 2,550,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. If the Company had reported net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that would be excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock would have been 3,019,333 and 2,893,677, respectively.

7. DERIVATIVES

Tredegar uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging margin exposure from fixed-price forward sales contracts in Aluminum Extrusions and exposure from currency volatility that exists as part of ongoing business operations in Flexible Packaging Films. These derivative financial instruments are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. If individual derivative instruments with the same counterparty can be settled on a net basis, the Company records the corresponding derivative fair values as a net asset or net liability.

In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with a small subset of its customers for the future sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge margin exposure created from the fixing of future sales prices relative to volatile raw material (aluminum) costs, Aluminum Extrusions enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled purchases for the firm sales commitments. The fixed-price firm sales commitments and related hedging instruments have durations generally no longer than 12 months. The notional amount of aluminum futures contracts that hedged future purchases of aluminum to meet fixed-price forward sales contract obligations was $6.0 million (4.3 million pounds of aluminum) at September 30, 2024 and $7.7 million (5.6 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 2023.

The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of aluminum futures contract fair values (Level 2) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
(In thousands)	Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Asset derivatives: Aluminum futures contracts	Prepaid expenses and other	$	354	Prepaid expenses and other	$	—

Liability derivatives: Aluminum futures contracts	Accrued expenses	(128)		Accrued expenses	(483)
Aluminum futures contracts	Other non-current liabilities	—		Other non-current liabilities	(9)
Net asset (liability)		$	226		$	(492)

In the event that a counterparty to an aluminum fixed-price forward sales contract chooses not to take delivery of its aluminum extrusions, the customer is contractually obligated to compensate Aluminum Extrusions for any losses on the related aluminum futures and/or forward contracts through the date of cancellation.

The Company's earnings are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk primarily through the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company estimates that the net mismatch translation exposure for the Flexible Packaging Film's business unit in Brazil (“Terphane Ltda.”) of its sales and raw materials quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars and its variable conversion, fixed conversion and sales, general and administrative costs (before depreciation and amortization) quoted or priced in Brazilian Real ("R$") will result in an annual net cost of R$139 million for the full year of 2024.

Terphane Ltda. had the following outstanding foreign exchange average forward rate contracts to purchase Brazilian Real and sell U.S. Dollars as of September 30, 2024:


USD Notional Amount (000s)	Average Forward Rate Contracted on USD/BRL	R$ Equivalent Amount (000s)	Applicable Month	Estimated % of Terphane Ltda. R$ Operating Cost Exposure Hedged


















$1,851	5.4225	R$10,037	Oct-24	87%
$1,837	5.4403	R$9,994	Nov-24	86%
$1,801	5.4580	R$9,830	Dec-24	85%
$5,489	5.4402	R$29,861		85%

These foreign currency exchange contracts have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of Terphane Ltda.’s forecasted sales to customers quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars over that period. By changing the currency risk associated with these U.S. Dollar sales, the derivatives have the effect of offsetting operating costs quoted or priced in Brazilian Real and decreasing the net exposure to Brazilian Real in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of foreign currency forward contract fair values (Level 2) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
(In thousands)	Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Account	Fair Value
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Asset derivatives: Foreign currency forward contracts	Prepaid expenses and other	$	219	Prepaid expenses and other	$	2,050
Foreign currency forward contracts	Other assets	—		Other assets	146
Liability derivatives: Foreign currency forward contracts	Accrued expenses	(299)		Other non-current liabilities	—

Net asset (liability)		$	(80)		$	2,196

These derivative contracts involve elements of market risk that are not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, including the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to any forward purchase commitments are major aluminum brokers and suppliers, and the counterparties to any aluminum futures contracts are major financial institutions. Fixed-price forward sales contracts are only made available to the most credit-worthy customers. The counterparties to the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts are major financial institutions.

The pre-tax effect on net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges and described in the previous paragraphs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is summarized in the table below:


	Cash Flow Derivative Hedges
	Three Months Ended September 30,
	Aluminum Futures Contracts				Foreign Currency Forwards
(In thousands)	2024		2023		2024				2023
Amount of pre-tax gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)	$	10	$	2,908	$	—	$	252	$	—	$	(621)

As of September 30, 2024, the Company expects $0.1 million of unrealized after-tax gains on aluminum and foreign currency derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, net gains or losses realized, from previously unrealized net gains or losses on hedges that had been discontinued, were not material.

8. INCOME TAXES

Tredegar recorded tax expense (benefit) of $3.6 million on pre-tax income (loss) of $11.7 million in the first nine months of 2024. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2024 was 30.5% and 18.8% in the first nine months of 2023. The change in effective tax rate was primarily due to pre-tax income in the first nine months of 2024 versus a pre-tax loss in the first nine months of 2023. During the first nine months of 2024, Tredegar increased the valuation allowance on existing deferred tax assets as a result of the sale of Terphane by $1.0 million.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 varies from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to foreign rate differences and non-deductible expenses offset by Brazilian tax incentives and federal tax credits.

The Brazilian federal statutory income tax rate is a composite of 34.0% (25.0% of income tax and 9.0% of social contribution on income). Terphane Ltda.’s manufacturing facility in Brazil is the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allow for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate to 15.25% levied on the operating profit on certain of its products. The incentives have been granted for a 10-year period, from the commencement date of January 1, 2015 and were to expire at the end of 2024. Terphane Ltda. has been granted an additional three years of tax incentives through the end of 2027.

9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company’s business segments are Aluminum Extrusions, PE Films, and Flexible Packaging Films. Information by business segment is reported below. There are no accounting transactions between segments and no allocations to segments.

The Company’s reportable segments are based on its method of internal reporting, which is generally segregated by differences in products. Accounting standards for presentation of segments require an approach based on the way the Company organizes the segments for making operating decisions and how the CODM assesses performance. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") from ongoing operations is the key profitability measure used by the CODM (Tredegar’s President and Chief Executive Officer) for purposes of assessing financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. This measure is separately included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM.

The following table presents net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

(a) Export sales relate mostly to PE Films. Operations in Brazil relate to Flexible Packaging Films.

The Company’s facilities in Pottsville, PA (“PV”) and Guangzhou, China (“GZ”) have a tolling arrangement whereby certain surface protection films are manufactured in GZ for a fee with raw materials supplied from PV that are then shipped by GZ directly to customers principally in the Asian market, but paid by customers directly to PV. Amounts associated with this intercompany tolling arrangement are reported in the table above as export sales from the U.S. to Asia, and include net sales of $6.5 million and $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $19.1 million and $11.7 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

10. DEBT

ABL Facility

On December 27, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides the Company with a $180 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility that will mature on June 30, 2026. On April 16, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4, the “ABL Facility”) that, among other items: (i) moves the ABL Adjustment Date (defined below) from March 31, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and (ii) requires weekly reporting of the borrowing base financial covenant until the ABL Adjustment Date. The ABL Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Availability for borrowings under the ABL Facility is governed by a borrowing base, determined by the application of specified advance rates against eligible assets, including a portion of trade accounts receivable, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, owned real properties, and owned machinery and equipment. Upon the earlier of September 30, 2025 or the date the Company receives the proceeds from the sale of Terphane (the “ABL Adjustment Date”), the $180 million ABL Facility will be reduced to $125 million. As of September 30, 2024, Minimum Liquidity (as defined in the ABL Facility) of $45.1 million, after reducing the borrowing base by the aggregate outstanding borrowings of $122.0 million and standby letters of credit of $12.9 million, was in excess of the $10 million Minimum Liquidity financial covenant.

Outstanding borrowings accrue interest at the rates elected by the Company depending on the type of loan and denomination of such borrowing. With respect to revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Company may elect interest rates at:

•Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus 2.50% before the ABL Adjustment Date and the applicable ABR Spread (as defined in the ABL Facility) after the ABL Adjustment Date are determined in accordance with an excess availability-based pricing grid. ABR is defined, in part, as the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (defined below) for a one-month period plus 1%; or

•The Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Rate plus 3.50% before the ABL Adjustment Date and the applicable Term Benchmark Spread (as defined in the ABL Facility) are determined in accordance with an excess availability-based pricing grid after the ABL Adjustment Date. Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is defined as the Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10%, subject to an initial Floor (as defined in the ABL Facility) of 0%.

Interest rate indices for select non-U.S. dollar borrowings, including borrowings denominated in Euro, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs and Japanese Yen, remain consistent with the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Based upon the quarterly average of daily availability under the ABL Facility, the interest rate pricing grid applicable after the ABL Adjustment Date will be as follows:


Pricing under the ABL Facility (Basis Points)
Quarter Average of Daily Availability	Term Benchmark Spread	ABR Spread	Commitment Fee*
> 66% of $125 million aggregate commitment	225.0	125.0	40.0
≤ 66% but > 33% of $125 million aggregate commitment	250.0	150.0	40.0
≤ 33% of $125 million aggregate commitment	275.0	175.0	40.0
*The Commitment Fee before the ABL Adjustment Date and after the ABL Adjustment Date remain the same as reflected in this table.

Under the terms of the ABL Facility, certain domestic bank accounts are subject to blocked account agreements, each of which contains a springing feature whereby the lenders may exercise control over those accounts during a cash dominion period (any such period, a “Cash Dominion Period”). A Cash Dominion Period was implemented on the date of the closing of the ABL Facility and will remain in effect at all times prior to the ABL Adjustment Date. After the ABL Adjustment Date, a Cash Dominion Period goes into effect if availability under the ABL Facility falls below 12.5% or an Event of Default (as defined in the ABL Facility) occurs. The Company would then be subject to the Cash Dominion Period until the Event of Default is waived or ABL Facility availability is above 12.5% of the $125 million aggregate commitment for 30 consecutive days. Receipts that have not yet been applied to the ABL Facility are classified as restricted cash in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The financial covenants in the ABL Facility are as follows:

•Until the ABL Adjustment Date, the Company is required to maintain (i) a minimum Credit EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Facility), as of the end of each fiscal month for the 12-month period then ended (presented below) and (ii) a Minimum Liquidity of $10.0 million.


Minimum Credit EBITDA (In thousands)
September 2024	$	25,370
October 2024	26,070
November 2024	27,640
December 2024	29,640
January 2025	29,740
February 2025	29,850
March 2025	29,980
April 2025	30,340
May 2025	30,700
June 2025	31,030
July 2025	31,370
August 2025	31,710
September 2025	$	32,080

•Following the ABL Adjustment Date, the foregoing financial covenants will cease to exist and will be replaced with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00:1.00 that will be triggered in the event that availability is less than 10% of $125 million commitment amount and continuing thereafter until availability is greater than 10% of the $125 million commitment amount for 30 consecutive days.

In addition to the financial covenants, the ABL Facility contains restrictive covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends and repurchase shares of its common stock. After the ABL Adjustment Date, the Company is no longer prohibited from making dividend payments and share repurchases. All decisions with respect to the declaration and payment of future dividends and share repurchases will be made by the Board in its sole discretion based upon earnings, financial condition, anticipated cash needs and other such considerations as the Board deems relevant.

If at any time the availability under the ABL facility after the ABL Adjustment Date is less than 20% of the maximum aggregate principal amount in effect at such time or an Event of Default occurs, the Company’s current weekly reporting requirements to lenders will continue until the Event of Default is waived, cured or the availability under the ABL facility is above 20% of the maximum aggregate principal amount for 30 consecutive days.

The ABL Facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to each borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (including a representation that no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the ABL Facility) has occurred since December 31, 2022). In the event that the Company cannot certify that all conditions to the borrowing have been met, the lenders can restrict the Company’s future borrowings under the ABL Facility. Because a Cash Dominion Period was in effect as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the Company was required to represent that no Material Adverse Effect has occurred as a condition to borrowing, the outstanding debt under the ABL Facility (all contractual payments due on June 30, 2026) was classified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the dates presented.

In accordance with the ABL Facility, the lenders have been provided with the Company’s financial statements, covenant compliance certificates and projections to facilitate their ongoing assessment of the Company. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood that lenders would exercise the subjective acceleration clause whereby prohibiting future borrowings is remote. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

On November 1, 2024, with the closing of the Terphane Sale, the ABL Adjustment Date has occurred.

Terphane Brazil Loan

On October 26, 2023, Flexible Packaging Film's business unit (“Terphane Ltda.”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil, borrowed $20 million secured by certain of its assets (“Terphane Brazil Loan”). This U.S. Dollar borrowing matures on October 30, 2028, with interest payable quarterly at an annual floating interest rate of the SOFR plus 5.99%. The SOFR rate was 5.35% as of September 30, 2024. Quarterly principal payments of $1.7 million begin starting in year 3 of the loan. There are no prepayment penalties. On October 26, 2023, the Company borrowed $20 million from Terphane Ltda. (the “Intercompany Loan”) at the same interest rate as the Terphane Brazil Loan, thereby transferring the funds to the U.S. In connection with the closing of the Terphane Sale, both the Terphane Brazil Loan and the Intercompany Loan were assumed by Oben.

PE Films Guangzhou Loan

On June 25, 2024, PE Films' business location in Guangzhou, China, Guangzhou Tredegar Film Products Co., Ltd. (“Guangzhou Tredegar”), entered into a 9.5 million Chinese Yuan, which is equivalent to $1.4 million as of September 30, 2024, revolving loan with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The loan matures on July 3, 2025. The interest rate is the one year loan prime rate published by the National Interbank Funding Center for the working day immediately preceding the drawdown date, minus 0.45%. As of September 30, 2024, the National Interbank Funding Center rate was 3.35%. The revolving loan is secured by a mortgage contract listing the Guangzhou Tredegar factory building as collateral. The mortgage contract has a maximum value of 30 million Chinese Yuan and is effective from June 25, 2024 through May 31, 2027.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Terphane, headquartered in Brazil, to Oben for net cash-free and debt-free base consideration of $116 million.

On November 1, 2024, Tredegar completed the sale of Terphane to Oben. At closing, Tredegar received $60 million in cash, which is net of Terphane debt assumed by Oben of $20 million and Terphane cash retained by Oben of $2 million. Accordingly, on a cash-free and debt-free basis, the enterprise value of the Terphane transaction at closing for Tredegar was $78 million. Tredegar anticipates receiving an additional $7 million in cash following the release of certain escrow funds within 120 days of closing. The cash proceeds received by Tredegar at closing are after deducting projected Brazil withholding taxes, net working capital adjustments, escrow funds, U.S. capital gains taxes and transaction expenses. The total estimated proceeds from the sale of Terphane are required to be used to pay down the outstanding ABL Facility debt.

An estimated pre-tax loss on the sale of $72.5 million ($65.5 million after-tax) is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024. The estimated net loss on sale includes $100 million of estimated cumulative translation adjustment losses and gains on derivative financial instruments reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss). Expected amounts are based on Terphane’s estimated closing balance sheet, which are subject to change.

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Flexible Packaging Films business had net assets of approximately $36 million and EBITDA from ongoing operations of $8.9 million. See Note 9 where Flexible Packing Films is presented as a reportable segment. As a result of the completion of the sale, the Company will classify and report Terphane as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Readers are urged to review and consider carefully the disclosures Tredegar makes in its filings with the SEC.

Tredegar does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in management’s expectations or any change in conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which such statements are based, except as required by applicable law.

References herein to “Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” are to Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context otherwise indicates or requires.

Unless otherwise stated or indicated, all comparisons are to the prior year period. References to "Notes" are to notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements found in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting standards in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the 2023 Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so Tredegar considers these to be its critical accounting policies. Since December 31, 2023, there have been no changes in these policies or estimates that have had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Business Overview

Tredegar Corporation is an industrial manufacturer. As of September 30, 2024, we had three primary businesses: custom aluminum extrusions for the North American building and construction ("B&C"), automotive and specialty end-use markets through its Aluminum Extrusions segment; surface protection films for high-technology applications in the global electronics industry through its PE Films segment; and specialized polyester films primarily for the Latin American flexible packaging market through its Flexible Packaging Films segment. On November 1, 2024, we completed the sale of our Flexible Packaging Film business ("Terphane") to Oben Group ("Oben"). For more information, see Note 11. Since the sale was completed after September 30, 2024, the historical financial results of Terphane are reported as continuing operations in this Form 10-Q. In all future public filings, the historical financial results of Terphane will be reflected as discontinued operations under GAAP for all periods.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") from ongoing operations is the measure of segment profit and loss used by Tredegar’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for purposes of assessing financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. This measure is separately included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM.

Earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure included in the reconciliation of segment financial information to consolidated results for the Company in Note 9. It is not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar's ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP. We believe that EBIT is a widely understood and utilized metric that is meaningful to certain investors and that including this financial metric in the reconciliation of management’s performance metric, EBITDA from ongoing operations, provides useful information to those investors that primarily utilize EBIT to analyze the Company’s core operations.

Third quarter 2024 net income (loss) was $(3.9) million ($(0.11) per diluted share) compared to $(50.4) million ($(1.47) per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2023.

Third Quarter Financial Results Highlights

•EBITDA from ongoing operations for Aluminum Extrusions (also referred to as "Bonnell Aluminum") was $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus $5.1 million in the third quarter of last year and $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.

◦Sales volume was 34.6 million pounds in the third quarter of 2024 versus 32.5 million pounds in the third quarter of last year and 34.9 million pounds in the second quarter of 2024.

◦Open orders at the end of the third quarter of 2024 were approximately 15.5 million pounds (versus 17 million pounds in the third quarter of 2023 and 14 million pounds at the end of the second quarter of 2024). Net new orders increased 27% in the third quarter of 2024 versus the third quarter of 2023 and increased 7% versus the second quarter of 2024.

•EBITDA from ongoing operations for PE Films was $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. Sales volume was 9.6 million pounds in the third quarter of 2024 versus 7.2 million pounds in the third quarter of 2023 and 10.5 million pounds in the second quarter of 2024.

•EBITDA from ongoing operations for Terphane was $3.7 million during the third quarter of 2024 versus $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2024. Sales volume was 25.3 pounds in the third quarter of 2024 versus 22.2 million pounds in the third quarter 2023 and 25.1 million pounds in the second quarter of 2024.

Aluminum Extrusions experienced unfavorable costs, including manufacturing inefficiencies, a shift in mix and margin pressures from imports and excess industry capacity. PE Films EBITDA performance during the third quarter moderated as expected versus the first two quarters of 2024. Tredegar closed on the sale of Terphane on November 1, 2024.

Sales in the third quarter of 2024 increased by $15.9 million compared with the third quarter of 2023. Net sales (sales less freight) in Aluminum Extrusions increased $6.3 million, primarily due to higher sales volume and the pass-through of higher metal costs, partially offset by lower pricing associated with a shift in mix. Net sales in PE Films increased $4.9 million, primarily due to volume increases in both Surface Protection and overwrap films. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films increased $4.3 million, primarily due to higher sales volume. For more information on net sales and volume, see the Segment Operations Review below.

Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales (gross profit margin) was 12.8% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 9.0% in the third quarter of 2023. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher volume, favorable variable manufacturing costs, lower labor-related costs, and lower freight rates, partially offset by lower net pricing after the pass-through of metal cost changes associated with a shift in mix and manufacturing inefficiencies. Additionally, the timing of the flow-through under the first-in first-out ("FIFO") method of aluminum raw material costs, which were previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment and passed through to customers, resulted in a charge of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus a charge of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. The gross profit margin in PE Films increased due to a higher Surface Protection contribution margin associated with higher volume and manufacturing costs savings, partially offset by unfavorable pricing. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films increased primarily due to lower variable costs, lower raw material costs, higher volume, favorable product mix, and lower fixed costs, partially offset by lower selling prices from global excess capacity and margin pressures.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and research and development ("R&D") expenses of 12.2% in the third quarter of 2024 remained consistent with the third quarter of 2023.

The decrease in asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments is primarily related to closure of the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA. See Note 1 for more information.

In the third quarter of 2023, a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $19.5 million was recognized. See Note 1 for more information.

The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes was (31.6)% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 20.9% in the third quarter of 2023.

Pre-tax gains and losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023 detailed below are shown in the statements of net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment in Note 9 and are included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments” in the condensed consolidated statements of income, unless otherwise noted.

Sales in the first nine months of 2024 increased by $12.5 million compared with the first nine months of 2023. Net sales in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $15.3 million, primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs. Net sales in PE Films increased $22.8 million, primarily due to an increase in sales volume in Surface Protection. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films increased $4.2 million primarily due to higher volume, partially offset by lower selling prices that the Company believes are driven by excess global capacity and strong competition in Brazil, Latin America and the U.S and unfavorable product mix. For more information on net sales and volume, see the Segment Operations Review below.

Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales (gross profit margin) was 15.5% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to 10.9% in the first nine months of 2023. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher net pricing after the pass-through of metal cost changes and mix, favorable variable manufacturing costs, lower utilities and lower freight rates, partially offset by lower volume, manufacturing inefficiencies and higher labor and employee-related costs. Additionally, the timing of the flow-through under the FIFO method of aluminum raw material costs, which were previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment and passed through to customers, resulted in a charge of $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2024 versus a charge of $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2023. The gross profit margin in PE Films increased due to a higher Surface Protection contribution margin associated with substantially higher volume, operating efficiencies and manufacturing costs savings, favorable pricing, and lower fixed costs. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films increased primarily due to lower raw material costs, lower fixed costs, higher sales volume, and favorable product mix, partially offset by lower selling prices from global excess capacity and margin pressures and higher variable costs.

As a percentage of sales, SG&A and R&D expenses of 11.1% in the first nine months of 2024 remained consistent with the first nine months of 2023.

During the first nine months of 2023, the Company remeasured the pension plan, which resulted in a pre-tax pension settlement loss in the condensed consolidated results of operation of $25.6 million. The remeasurement of the pension benefit obligation and plan assets was triggered by $64.5 million of lump sum distributions from the pension plan assets which exceeded the pension plan's service and interest cost. See Note 4 for additional information.

Interest expense of $10.3 million in the first nine months of 2024 increased $2.5 million compared to the first nine months of 2023 due to higher average debt and higher interest rates. See Note 10 for additional information.

In the first nine months of 2023, a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $34.9 million was recognized. See Note 1 for more information.

The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes was 30.5% in the first nine months of 2024 compared to 18.8% in the first nine months of 2023. See Note 8 for additional information.

Third Quarter 2024 Results vs. Third Quarter 2023 Results

Net sales (sales less freight) in the third quarter of 2024 increased 5.8% versus the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher sales volume and the pass-through of higher metal costs, partially offset by lower pricing associated with a shift in mix. Sales volume in the third quarter of 2024 increased 6.5% versus the third quarter of 2023 but decreased 0.9% versus the second quarter 2024.

Net new orders, which remain low compared to pre-pandemic levels, increased 27.3% in the third quarter of 2024 versus the third quarter of 2023 and increased 7% versus the second quarter of 2024. Since January 2021, net new orders for the Company's aluminum extruded products have generally tracked the ISM® Manufacturing PMI®. In addition, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI), a key leading indicator for non-residential B&C, has demonstrated a decline in billings (i.e., an index below 50) for the last 20 months ended September 2024. The Company believes that net new orders continue to be below pre-pandemic levels due to higher interest rates, tighter lender requirements and the increase in remote working, which particularly impacts the non-residential B&C end-use market. In addition, data indicates that aluminum extrusion imports have increased significantly in recent years, especially during the pandemic, and some of Bonnell Aluminum’s customers have increased their sourcing of aluminum extrusions from producers outside of the U.S.

Open orders at the end of the third quarter of 2024 were 15.5 million pounds (versus 14 million pounds at the end of the second quarter of 2024 and 17 million pounds at the end of the third quarter of 2023). This level is below the quarterly range of 21 to 27 million pounds in 2019 before pandemic-related disruptions (particularly starting in early 2021 with the re-opening of markets following the rollout of vaccines) that resulted in long lead times, driving a peak in open orders of approximately 100 million pounds during the first quarter of 2022.

The Company is part of a coalition of members of the Aluminum Extruders Council that filed a trade case with the U.S. Department of Commerce (“USDOC”) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (“USITC”) against 15 countries in response to alleged large and increasing volumes of unfairly priced imports of aluminum extrusions since 2019. In November 2023, the USITC found that there is a reasonable indication that the American aluminum extrusions industry is materially injured or threatened with injury due to imports from 14 countries, including China. On September 27, 2024, the USDOC announced its final determinations that aluminum extrusion producers and exporters in 14 countries, including China, sold aluminum extrusions at less-than-fair value in the U.S. The final USITC vote on October 30, 2024, indicated that it believes that the industry was not materially injured by reason of the subject imports, despite the USDOC determinations of pricing below fair value and receiving unfair subsidies. The coalition is evaluating next steps for challenging the decision.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.1 million versus the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to:

•Higher volume ($1.8 million), favorable variable manufacturing costs ($1.7 million), lower labor-related costs ($0.1 million) and lower freight rates ($0.2 million), partially offset by unfavorable net pricing after the pass-through of metal cost and changes associated with a shift in mix ($1.1 million), manufacturing inefficiencies ($0.8 million), higher maintenance expense ($0.4 million) and higher SG&A expenses, including other employee-related compensation ($0.8 million); and

•The timing of the flow-through under the FIFO method of aluminum raw material costs, which were previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment and passed through to customers, resulted in a charge of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus a charge of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.

First Nine Months of 2024 Results vs. First Nine Months of 2023 Results

Net sales in the first nine months of 2024 decreased 4.2% versus the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs. Sales volume in the first nine months of 2024 decreased 2.1% versus the first nine months of 2023.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first nine months of 2024 increased $1.7 million in comparison to the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to:

•Higher net pricing after the pass-through of metal cost changes and mix ($2.0 million), favorable variable manufacturing costs ($3.7 million), lower utilities ($0.2 million) and lower freight rates ($0.9 million), partially offset by lower volume ($1.6 million), manufacturing inefficiencies ($0.8 million), higher labor and employee-related costs ($0.1 million), and higher SG&A, including other employee-related compensation ($2.4 million); and

•The timing of the flow-through under the FIFO method of aluminum raw material costs, which were previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment and passed through to customers, resulted in a charge of $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2024 versus a charge of $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2023.

Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization

Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum are projected to be $8 million in 2024, including $4 million for productivity projects and $4 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of operations. The projected spending reflects stringent spending measures that the Company has implemented to control its financial leverage (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below for more information). The multi-year implementation of new enterprise resource planning and manufacturing execution systems ("ERP/MES") has been reorganized with the timing for the go-live date being uncertain. The ERP/MES project commenced in 2022, with spending to-date of approximately $21 million. Depreciation expense is projected to be $16 million in 2024. Amortization expense is projected to be $2 million in 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Results vs. Third Quarter 2023 Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2024 were 24.8% higher compared to the third quarter of 2023, with volume increases in Surface Protection and overwrap films. Surface Protection sales volume in the third quarter of 2024 increased 37.5% versus the third quarter of 2023 and declined 16.5% versus the second quarter of 2024. Surface Protection sales volume began to moderate during the third quarter of 2024, following extremely high sales volume in the second quarter associated with the restocking of Surface Protection customer inventories.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.8 million versus the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to:

•A $2.4 million increase in Surface Protection primarily due to higher contribution margin associated with higher volume ($2.0 million) and manufacturing costs savings ($1.1 million), partially offset by unfavorable pricing ($0.2 million) and higher SG&A ($0.1 million);

•A foreign currency transaction loss of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus no gain or loss in the third quarter of 2023;

•The pass-through lag associated with resin costs (a charge of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus a benefit of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2023); and

•A $0.6 million decrease in overwrap films, primarily due to pricing and mix.

There have been significant cyclical swings in the sales volume and EBITDA from ongoing operations for PE Films in the past 2.5 years, largely due to the unprecedented downturn in the display industry during the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023. EBITDA from ongoing operations for the first half of 2024, the second and first halves of 2023 and the second and first halves of 2022 were $17.0 million, $8.6 million, $2.7 million, $(2.2) million and $14.1 million, respectively, which averages approximately $4 million per quarter.

First Nine Months of 2024 Results vs. First Nine Months of 2023 Results

Net sales in the first nine months of 2024 increased 40.6% compared to the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to an increase in sales volume in Surface Protection, as a result of factors noted above. Sales volume increased 62.3% in Surface Protection in the first nine months of 2024 versus the first nine months of 2023.

EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first nine months of 2024 increased $16.2 million versus the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to:

•A $16.0 million increase in Surface Protection primarily due to higher contribution margin associated with substantially higher volume ($9.4 million), operating efficiencies and manufacturing costs savings ($5.9 million), favorable pricing ($0.3 million), lower fixed costs ($0.2 million) and lower SG&A, including lower costs associated with the closure of the Richmond Technical Center in 2023 ($1.2 million);

•A foreign currency transaction loss of $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 versus a gain of $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2023;

•The pass-through lag associated with resin costs (a charge of $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2024 versus a charge of $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2023); and

•A $0.2 million increase from overwrap films, primarily due to cost improvements ($1.0 million), partially offset by a shift in mix ($0.8 million).

•Inventories increased $6.0 million (7.3%).

◦Inventories in Aluminum Extrusions increased $1.3 million primarily due to higher average aluminum prices. DIO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a FIFO basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of inventory balances calculated on the FIFO basis) was approximately 47.3 days for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 and 51.6 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

◦Inventories in PE Films increased $1.8 million primarily due to higher raw materials and finished goods levels to support increased sales volume during the first nine months of 2024. DIO was approximately 50.1 days for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 and 57.2 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

◦Inventories in Flexible Packaging Films increased $2.8 million primarily due to higher raw materials and finished goods levels to support increased sales volume during the first nine months of 2024. DIO was approximately 104.0 days for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 and 117.7 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

•Net property, plant and equipment decreased $14.8 million primarily due to depreciation expense of $18.4 million and a $3.0 million unfavorable change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, partially offset by capital expenditures of $7.1 million.

•Identifiable intangible assets, net decreased $1.5 million (15.1%) due to amortization expense.

•Deferred income tax assets decreased $2.3 million (9.1%). See Note 8 for more information.

•Accounts payable decreased $6.0 million (6.3%).

◦Accounts payable in Aluminum Extrusions decreased $10.3 million primarily due to the timing of payments. DPO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a FIFO basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts payable balances) was approximately 45.7 days for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 and 49.8 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

◦Accounts payable in PE Films increased $1.3 million primarily due to higher raw material purchases. DPO was approximately 42.9 days for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 and 43.4 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

◦Accounts payable in Flexible Packaging Films increased $3.4 million primarily due to higher raw material purchases and favorable payment terms. DPO was approximately 75.4 days for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 and 61.7 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $44.2 million in the first nine months of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower working capital, partially offset by higher EBITDA from ongoing operations for all reportable segments in the first nine months of 2024 versus prior year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $22.0 million the first nine months of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower capital expenditures ($14.6 million).

Net cash used in financing activities of $3.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.7 million in the first nine months of 2023. The change was primarily due to higher net debt principal payments ($21.0 million) under the ABL Facility (as defined below) during the first nine months of 2024 as compared to the first nine months of 2023 and dividends paid ($8.9 million) during the first nine months of 2023.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $6.6 million, including cash and cash equivalents held in locations outside the U.S. of $2.7 million.

Debt and Credit Agreements

ABL Facility

On December 27, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides the Company with a $180 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility that will mature on June 30, 2026. On April 16, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4, the “ABL Facility”) that, among other items: (i) moves the ABL Adjustment Date (defined below) from March 31, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and (ii) requires weekly reporting of the borrowing base financial covenant until the ABL Adjustment Date. The ABL Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Availability for borrowings under the ABL Facility is governed by a borrowing base, determined by the application of specified advance rates against eligible assets, including a portion of trade accounts receivable, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, owned real properties, and owned machinery and equipment. Upon the earlier of September 30, 2025 or the date the Company receives the proceeds from the sale of Terphane (the “ABL Adjustment Date”), the $180 million ABL Facility will be reduced to $125 million. As of September 30, 2024, Minimum Liquidity (as defined in the ABL Facility) of $45.1 million, after reducing the borrowing base by the aggregate outstanding borrowings of $122.0 million and standby letters of credit of $12.9 million was in excess of the $10 million Minimum Liquidity financial covenant.

The financial covenants in the ABL Facility are as follows:

Terphane Brazil Loan

On October 26, 2023, Terphane Ltda., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil, borrowed $20 million secured by certain of its assets (“Terphane Brazil Loan”). This U.S. Dollar borrowing matures on October 30, 2028. On October 26, 2023, the Company borrowed $20 million from Terphane Ltda. (the “Intercompany Loan”) at the same interest rate as the Terphane Brazil Loan, thereby transferring the funds to the U.S. In connection with the closing of the Terphane Sale, both the Terphane Brazil Loan and the Intercompany Loan were assumed by Oben.

PE Films Guangzhou Loan

For more information on the ABL Facility, the Terphane Brazil Loan and the PE Films Guangzhou Loan, see Note 10 for additional information.

The Company believes that existing borrowing availability, current cash balances and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy short term material cash requirements related to working capital, capital expenditure, and debt repayments for at least the next 12 months. In the longer term, liquidity will depend on many factors, including the results of operations, the timing and extent of capital expenditures, changes in operating plans, or other events that would cause the Company to seek additional financing in future periods. In addition, the completion of the Terphane Sale has provided additional liquidity.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Tredegar has exposure to the volatility of interest rates, polyethylene and polypropylene resin prices, Terephthalic Acid (“PTA”) and Monoethylene Glycol (“MEG”) prices, aluminum ingot and scrap prices, energy prices, foreign currencies and emerging markets. See Liquidity and Capital Resources above regarding interest rate exposures related to borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Profit margins in Aluminum Extrusions are sensitive to fluctuations in aluminum ingot and scrap prices as well as natural gas prices (natural gas is the principal energy source used to operate its casting furnaces). Changes in polyethylene resin prices and the timing of those changes could have a significant impact on profit margins in PE Films. Changes in polyester resin, PTA and MEG prices, and the timing of those changes, could have a significant impact on profit margins in Flexible Packaging Films. There is no assurance of the Company’s ability to pass through higher raw material and energy costs to its customers.

The purchase price of raw materials fluctuates on a monthly basis; therefore, Aluminum Extrusions pricing policies generally allow the Company to pass the underlying index cost of aluminum and certain alloys through to the vast majority of our customers so that we remain substantially neutral to metal pricing. In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge its exposure to aluminum price volatility (see the chart below) under these fixed-price arrangements, which generally have a duration of not more than 12 months, the Company enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled deliveries. See Note 7 for additional information.

The volatility of quarterly average aluminum prices is shown in the chart below.

The volatility of quarterly average natural gas prices is shown in the chart below.

The volatility of average quarterly prices of polyethylene resin in the U.S. (a primary raw material for PE Films) is shown in the chart below.


Source: Quarterly averages computed by Tredegar using monthly data provided by IHS, Inc. In February 2020, IHS reflected a 32 cents per pound non-market adjustment based on their estimate of the growth of discounts in prior periods. The fourth quarter 2019 average rate of $0.51 per pound is shown on a pro forma basis as if the non-market adjustment was made in the fourth quarter of 2019. In January 2023, IHS reflected a 41 cents per pound non-market adjustment based on their estimate of the growth of discounts in the prior periods. The fourth quarter 2022 average rate of $0.60 per pound is shown on a pro forma basis as if the non-market adjustment was made in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The price of resin is driven by several factors, including supply and demand and the price of oil, ethylene and natural gas. Selling prices to customers are set considering numerous factors, including the expected volatility of resin prices. PE Films has index-based pass-through raw material cost arrangements with customers. However, under certain agreements, changes in resin prices are not passed through for a period of 90 days. In response to unprecedented cost increases and supply issues for polyethylene and polypropylene resin, Tredegar Surface Protection implemented a quarterly resin cost pass-through mechanism, effective July 1, 2021, for all products and customers not previously covered by such arrangements. Pricing on the remainder of the business is based upon raw material costs and supply/demand dynamics within the markets that the Company competes.

Polyester resins, MEG and PTA used in flexible packaging films produced in Brazil are primarily purchased domestically, with other sources available mostly from Asia and the U.S. Given the nature of these products as commodities, pricing is derived from Asian pricing indexes. The volatility of the average quarterly prices for polyester fibers in Asia, which is representative of polyester resin (a primary raw material for Flexible Packaging Films) pricing trends, is shown in the chart below:

The volatility of average quarterly prices of PTA and MEG in Asia (raw materials used in the production of polyester resins produced by Flexible Packaging Films) is shown in the chart below:

Tredegar attempts to match the pricing and cost of its products in the same currency and generally views the volatility of foreign currencies and the corresponding impact on earnings and cash flow as part of the overall risk of operating in a global environment (for additional information, see trends for the Brazilian Real and Chinese Yuan in the charts on the following page). Exports from the U.S. are generally denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s foreign currency exposure on income from foreign operations relates to the Chinese Yuan and the Brazilian Real.

PE Films is generally able to match the currency of its sales and costs for its product lines. For flexible packaging films produced in Brazil, selling prices and key raw material costs are principally determined in U.S. Dollars and are impacted by local economic conditions and local and global competitive dynamics. Flexible Packaging Films is exposed to foreign

exchange translation risk (its functional currency is the Brazilian Real) because almost 90% of the sales of Flexible Packaging Films business unit in Brazil (“Terphane Ltda.”) and substantially all of its related raw material costs are quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars while its variable conversion, fixed conversion and sales, general and administrative costs before depreciation & amortization (collectively “Terphane Ltda. Operating Costs”) are quoted or priced in Brazilian Real. This mismatch, together with a variety of economic variables impacting currency exchange rates, causes volatility that could negatively or positively impact EBITDA from ongoing operations for Flexible Packaging Films.

The Company estimates annual net costs of R$139.0 million for the net mismatch translation exposure between Terphane Ltda.’s U.S. Dollar quoted or priced sales and raw material costs and underlying Brazilian Real quoted or priced Terphane Ltda. Operating Costs. Terphane Ltda. has outstanding foreign exchange average forward rate contracts to purchase Brazilian Real and sell U.S. Dollars to hedge its exposure. See Note 7 for more information on outstanding hedging contracts and this hedging program.

Tredegar estimates that the change in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar for PE Films had an unfavorable impact on EBITDA from ongoing operations of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 and an unfavorable impact on EBITDA from ongoing operations of $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2024 compared with the same periods of 2023.

Trends for the Brazilian Real and Chinese Yuan exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar are shown in the chart below.

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar’s condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2024, the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the condensed consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All such adjustments, unless otherwise detailed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. The Company operates on a calendar fiscal year except for the Aluminum Extrusions segment, which operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year basis. As such, the fiscal third quarter for 2024 and 2023 for this segment references 13-week periods ended September 29, 2024 and September 24, 2023, respectively. The Company does not believe the impact of reporting the results of this segment as stated above is material to the consolidated financial results. The Company may fund or receive cash from the Aluminum Extrusions segment based on Aluminum Extrusion’s cash flows from operations during the intervening period from Aluminum Extrusion’s fiscal quarter end and the Company’s fiscal quarter end. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 that is included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”) but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2023 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Sale of Flexible Packaging Films On September 1, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Flexible Packaging Films business (also referred to as "Terphane") to Oben Group (the "Terphane Sale"). Completion of the sale is contingent upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain competition filing approvals by authorities in Brazil and Colombia. The Colombian authority cleared the merger review regarding the transaction in early February 2024. On October 27, 2023, the Company filed the requisite competition forms with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (“CADE”) in Brazil. As part of the Brazilian merger review process regarding the sale of Terphane to Oben Group ("Oben"), on May 13, 2024, the General Superintendence of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("SG-CADE") issued a non-binding opinion ("SG Opinion") recommending the rejection of the transaction. Following this first stage of the two-stage Brazilian merger review process for complex transactions, the case was submitted to the CADE Tribunal, in accordance with the customary Brazilian merger review process. As of September 30, 2024, the Company reported results for Terphane as a continuing operation, due to the uncertainty related to the Brazilian merger review process. On October 16, 2024, CADE approved a merger control agreement allowing Tredegar to proceed with the sale of Terphane to Oben. This approval was the indication that the sale of Terphane was probable. Refer to Note 11 for additional information. Closure of PE Films Technical Center In August 2023, the Company adopted a plan to close the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA and reduce its efforts to develop and sell films supporting the semiconductor market. Research & development activities for PE Films are now being performed at the production facility in Pottsville, PA. PE Films continues to have new business opportunities primarily relating to surface protection films that protect components of flat panel and flexible displays. All activities ceased at the PE Films technical center in Richmond, VA as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. The Company recognized expense incurred through September 30, 2024 associated with the exit activities of $0.2 million for building closure costs. In addition, the Company recognized a non-cash loss on the lease abandonment ($0.3 million). Supply Chain Financing As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $11.8 million and $15.8 million, respectively, of the Company’s accounts payable were financed by participating suppliers through third-party financial institutions. Goodwill The Company assesses goodwill for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, or, at a minimum, on an annual basis (December 1st of each year). As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s reporting units with goodwill were Surface Protection in PE Films ("Surface Protection") and Futura in Aluminum Extrusions (“Futura”). No events or circumstances were identified during the third quarter of 2024 that indicate that Surface Protection's fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying amount. No events or circumstances were identified during the third quarter of 2023 that indicated that Futura’s fair value was more likely than not less than its carrying amount. Uncertainty about the timing of a recovery in the consumer electronics market persists, and manufacturers in the supply chain for consumer electronics continue to experience reduced capacity utilization and inventory corrections. In light of the limited visibility on the timing of a recovery and the expected adverse future impact to the Surface Protection business, coupled with a cautious outlook on new product development opportunities, the Company performed a Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis of the Surface Protection component of PE Films, as of September 30, 2023. This analysis utilized projections that contemplate the expected market recovery and business conditions, including for its three significant customers, as these events indicated Surface Protection’s fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying amount. The Company estimated the fair value of Surface Protection at September 30, 2023 by: (i) computing an estimated enterprise value (“EV”) utilizing the discounted cash flow method (the “DCF Method”), (ii) applying adjustments for any surplus or deficient working capital, (iii) adding cash and cash equivalents, and (iv) subtracting interest-bearing debt. The DCF Method was used, incorporating Surface Protection’s latest projections which reflect updated expected market recovery levels, feasibility of launching new product applications, competitive pricing and cash flows associated with production efficiencies, as well as consideration of cost savings and inventory corrections. The analysis concluded that the fair value of Surface Protection was less than its carrying value, thus a non-cash partial goodwill impairment of $19.5 million ($15.1 million after deferred income tax benefits) was recognized during the third quarter of 2023 and $34.9 million ($27.0 million after deferred income tax benefits) during the first nine months of 2023.

Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Tredegar recorded tax expense (benefit) of $3.6 million on pre-tax income (loss) of $11.7 million in the first nine months of 2024. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2024 was 30.5% and 18.8% in the first nine months of 2023. The change in effective tax rate was primarily due to pre-tax income in the first nine months of 2024 versus a pre-tax loss in the first nine months of 2023. During the first nine months of 2024, Tredegar increased the valuation allowance on existing deferred tax assets as a result of the sale of Terphane by $1.0 million. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 varies from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to foreign rate differences and non-deductible expenses offset by Brazilian tax incentives and federal tax credits. The Brazilian federal statutory income tax rate is a composite of 34.0% (25.0% of income tax and 9.0% of social contribution on income). Terphane Ltda.’s manufacturing facility in Brazil is the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allow for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate to 15.25% levied on the operating profit on certain of its products. The incentives have been granted for a 10-year period, from the commencement date of January 1, 2015 and were to expire at the end of 2024.

Subsequent Events (Notes)	Sep. 30, 2024
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Terphane, headquartered in Brazil, to Oben for net cash-free and debt-free base consideration of $116 million. On November 1, 2024, Tredegar completed the sale of Terphane to Oben. At closing, Tredegar received $60 million in cash, which is net of Terphane debt assumed by Oben of $20 million and Terphane cash retained by Oben of $2 million. Accordingly, on a cash-free and debt-free basis, the enterprise value of the Terphane transaction at closing for Tredegar was $78 million. Tredegar anticipates receiving an additional $7 million in cash following the release of certain escrow funds within 120 days of closing. The cash proceeds received by Tredegar at closing are after deducting projected Brazil withholding taxes, net working capital adjustments, escrow funds, U.S. capital gains taxes and transaction expenses. The total estimated proceeds from the sale of Terphane are required to be used to pay down the outstanding ABL Facility debt. An estimated pre-tax loss on the sale of $72.5 million ($65.5 million after-tax) is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024. The estimated net loss on sale includes $100 million of estimated cumulative translation adjustment losses and gains on derivative financial instruments reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss). Expected amounts are based on Terphane’s estimated closing balance sheet, which are subject to change. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Flexible Packaging Films business had net assets of approximately $36 million and EBITDA from ongoing operations of $8.9 million. See Note 9 where Flexible Packing Films is presented as a reportable segment. As a result of the completion of the sale, the Company will classify and report Terphane as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2024.
