NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Overview of the Business
Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Corporation”) manufactures and sells highly engineered, high-performance specialty metal products and customized equipment utilized by industry throughout the world. It operates in
Note 1 – Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared by the Corporation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance requires tabular disclosure of certain expenses included in costs of products sold and selling and administrative expenses, such as purchases of inventory and employee compensation, and qualitative description of certain other costs. The guidance becomes effective for the Corporation’s annual period beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its annual disclosures in its consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027 and interim disclosures thereafter. It will not, however, impact the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance requires annual disclosure of specific categories of information within the effective tax rate reconciliation, and income taxes paid and income tax expense disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance becomes effective for the Corporation’s annual period beginning January 1, 2025. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its annual disclosures. It will not, however, impact the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 2 – Inventories
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, substantially all inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out method.

Note 6 – Customer Related Liabilities
Customer-related liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 primarily include liabilities for product warranty claims and deposits received on future orders. The Corporation provides a limited warranty on its products, known as an “assurance-type” warranty, and may issue credit notes or replace products free of charge for valid claims. A warranty is considered an assurance-type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. Historically, warranty claims have been insignificant. The Corporation records a provision for estimated product warranties at the time the underlying sale is recorded. The provision is based on historical experience as a percentage of sales adjusted for probable and known claims.
Changes in the liability for product warranty claims consisted of the following:

Customer deposits represent amounts collected from, or invoiced to, a customer in advance of revenue recognition when necessary to secure the right to a specific product. The liability for customer deposits is reversed when the Corporation satisfies its performance obligations and control of the inventory transfers to the customer, typically when title transfers. The majority of performance obligations related to customer deposits are expected to be satisfied in less than

The current portion of debt includes primarily the Industrial Revenue Bonds (“IRBs”). Although the IRBs begin to become due in late 2027, the bonds can be put back to the Corporation on short notice if they are not able to be remarketed; accordingly, the IRBs are classified as a current liability, although the Corporation considers the likelihood of the bonds being put back to the Corporation to be remote.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Corporation is a party to a revolving credit and security agreement with a syndicate of banks that was amended on June 29, 2021 (the “First Amended and Restated Security Agreement”), and subsequently amended on December 17, 2021 and May 26, 2022. The First Amended and Restated Security Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of $
Availability under the revolving credit facility is based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. Domestic borrowings from the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Corporation’s option, at either (i)
As of March 31, 2025, the Corporation had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $
Borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility are collateralized by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (other than real property). Additionally, the revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and limitations including, but not limited to, investments in certain of its subsidiaries, payment of dividends, incurrence of additional indebtedness and guaranties, and acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, the Corporation must maintain a certain level of excess availability or otherwise maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than
Sale-Leaseback Financing Obligations
In September 2018, Union Electric Steel Corporation (“UES”), an indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, completed a sale-leaseback financing transaction with Store Capital Acquisitions, LLC (“STORE”) for certain of its real property, including its manufacturing facilities in Valparaiso, Indiana and Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and its manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters located in Carnegie, Pennsylvania (the “UES Properties”).
In August 2022, Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (“Air & Liquid”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, completed a sale-leaseback financing transaction with STORE for certain of its real property, including its manufacturing facilities in Lynchburg,

Virginia and Amherst, Virginia. In October 2022, Air & Liquid completed a sale-leaseback financing transaction with STORE for its real property, including its manufacturing facility, located in North Tonawanda, New York (collectively with the Virginia properties, the “ALP Properties”).
In connection with the August 2022 sale-leaseback financing transaction, and as modified by the October 2022 sale-leaseback financing transaction, UES and STORE entered into a Second Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement (the “Restated Lease”), which amended and restated the existing lease agreement between UES and STORE.
Pursuant to the Restated Lease, UES will lease the ALP Properties and the UES Properties (collectively, the “Properties”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Restated Lease, and UES will sublease the ALP Properties to Air & Liquid on the same terms as the Restated Lease. The Restated Lease provides for an initial term of

Note 12 – Derivative Instruments
Certain divisions of the ALP segment are subject to risk from increases in the price of commodities (aluminum and copper) used in the production of inventory. To minimize this risk, futures contracts are entered into which are designated as cash flow hedges. In March 2025, given the dramatic escalation in the price of copper futures and sufficient supply of copper through approximately mid-2025, the Corporation terminated its existing futures contracts for copper resulting in a pre-tax termination gain of approximately $
The Corporation periodically enters into purchase commitments to cover a portion of its anticipated natural gas and electricity usage. The commitments qualify as normal purchases and, accordingly, are not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2025, the Corporation has purchase commitments covering approximately
The Corporation previously entered into foreign currency purchase contracts to manage the volatility associated with euro-denominated progress payments to be made for certain machinery and equipment. Upon occurrence of an anticipated purchase and placement of the underlying fixed asset in service, the foreign currency purchase contract was settled and the change in fair value of the foreign currency purchase contract was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being reclassified to earnings (depreciation and amortization expense) over the life of the underlying asset (approximately
No portion of the existing cash flow hedges is considered to be ineffective, including any ineffectiveness arising from the unlikelihood of an anticipated transaction to occur. Additionally, no amounts have been excluded from assessing the effectiveness of a hedge. The Corporation does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds
Gain (loss) on foreign exchange transactions included in other expense – net equaled $
The change in the fair value of the cash flow contracts is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The balances as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 and the amounts recognized as and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for each of the periods are summarized below. Amounts are after tax where applicable. Certain amounts recognized as comprehensive income (loss) or reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss have no tax effect due to the Corporation having a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred income tax assets for the jurisdiction where the income or expense is recognized.

Note 15 – Litigation
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to their businesses from time to time and are also subject to asbestos litigation.
Asbestos Litigation
Claims have been asserted alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in some products manufactured by predecessors of Air & Liquid (the “Asbestos Liability”). Air & Liquid, and in some cases the Corporation, are defendants (among a number of defendants, often in excess of 50 defendants) in claims filed in various state and federal courts.
Asbestos Claims
The following table reflects approximate information about the number of claims for Asbestos Liability against Air & Liquid and the Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (number of claims not in thousands). The majority of the settlement and defense costs were reported and paid by insurance carriers. Because claims are often filed and can be settled or dismissed in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Asbestos Insurance
The Corporation and Air & Liquid are parties to a series of settlement agreements (“Settlement Agreements”) with insurance carriers that have coverage obligations for the Asbestos Liability (the “Settling Insurers”). Under the Settlement Agreements, the Settling Insurers accept financial responsibility, subject to the terms and conditions of the respective agreements, including overall coverage limits, for pending and future claims for the Asbestos Liability. The Settlement Agreements encompass the majority of insurance policies that provide coverage for claims for the Asbestos Liability.
The Settlement Agreements acknowledge Howden North America, Inc. (“Howden”) is entitled to coverage under policies covering the Asbestos Liability for claims arising out of the historical products manufactured or distributed by Buffalo Forge, a former subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Products”), which was acquired by Howden. The Settlement Agreements do not provide for any prioritization on access to the applicable policies or any sub-limits of liability as to Howden or the Corporation and Air & Liquid and, accordingly, Howden may access the coverage afforded by the Settling Insurers for any covered claim arising out of the Products. In general, access by Howden to the coverage afforded by the Settling Insurers for the Products will erode coverage under the Settlement Agreements available to the Corporation and Air & Liquid for the Asbestos Liability.
Asbestos Valuations
The Corporation, with the assistance of a nationally recognized expert in the valuation of asbestos liabilities, reviews the Asbestos Liability and the underlying assumptions on a regular basis to determine whether any adjustment to the Asbestos Liability or the
17
underlying assumptions are necessary. When warranted, the Asbestos Liability is adjusted to consider current trends and new information that becomes available. In conjunction with the regular updates of the estimated Asbestos Liability, the Corporation also develops an estimate of defense costs expected to be incurred with settling the Asbestos Liability and probable insurance recoveries for the Asbestos Liability and defense costs.
In developing the estimate of probable defense costs, the Corporation considers several factors including, but not limited to, current and historical defense-to-indemnity cost ratios and expected defense-to-indemnity cost ratios. In developing the estimate of probable insurance recoveries, the Corporation considers the expert’s projection of settlement costs for the Asbestos Liability and management’s projection of associated defense costs. In addition, the Corporation consults with its outside legal counsel on insurance matters and a nationally recognized insurance consulting firm it retains to assist with certain policy allocation matters. The Corporation also considers a number of other factors including the Settlement Agreements in effect, policy exclusions, policy limits, policy provisions regarding coverage for defense costs, attachment points, gaps in the coverage, policy exhaustion, the nature of the underlying claims for the Asbestos Liability, estimated erosion of insurance limits on account of claims against Howden arising out of the Products, prior impairment of policies, insolvencies among certain of the insurance carriers, and creditworthiness of the remaining insurance carriers based on publicly available information. Based on these factors, the Corporation estimates the probable insurance recoveries for the Asbestos Liability and defense costs for the corresponding time frame of the Asbestos Liability.
The following table summarizes activity relating to Asbestos Liability for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The insurance receivable does not assume any recovery from insolvent carriers. A substantial majority of the insurance recoveries deemed probable is from insurance companies rated A – (excellent) or better by A.M. Best Corporation. There can be no assurance, however, there will not be insolvencies among the relevant insurance carriers, or the assumed percentage recoveries for certain carriers will prove correct.
Asbestos Assumptions
The amounts recorded for the Asbestos Liability and insurance receivable rely on assumptions based on currently known facts and strategy. The Corporation’s actual expenses or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Corporation’s or the experts’ calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions include the forecast of the population likely to have been exposed to asbestos; the number of people likely to develop an asbestos-related disease; the estimated number of people likely to file an asbestos-related injury claim against the Corporation or its subsidiaries; an analysis of pending cases, by type of injury claimed and jurisdiction where the claim is filed; average settlement value of claims, by type of injury claimed and jurisdiction of filing; the number and nature of new claims to be filed each year; the average cost of disposing of each new claim; the average annual defense costs; compliance by relevant parties with the terms of the Settlement Agreements; ability to reach acceptable agreements with insurance carriers currently not a party to a Settlement Agreement or at a coverage amount less than anticipated; and the solvency risk with respect to the relevant insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect the Asbestos Liability and ability to recover under the Corporation’s insurance policies include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.
The Corporation intends to continue to evaluate the Asbestos Liability, related insurance receivable, the sufficiency of its allowance for expected credit losses and the underlying assumptions on a regular basis to determine whether any adjustments to the estimates are required. Due to the uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation and insurance recovery, these regular reviews may result in the Corporation adjusting its current reserve; however, the Corporation is currently unable to estimate such future adjustments. Adjustments, if any, to the Corporation’s estimate of the Asbestos Liability, insurance receivable and/or allowance for expected credit losses could be material to the operating results for the period in which the adjustments to the liability, receivable or allowance are recorded and to the Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Note 16 – Environmental Matters
The Corporation is currently performing certain remedial actions in connection with the sale of real estate previously owned and periodically incurs costs to maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Environmental exposures are difficult to assess and estimate for numerous reasons, including lack of reliable data, the multiplicity of possible solutions, the years of remedial and monitoring activity required, and identification of new sites. The undiscounted potential liability for remedial actions and environmental compliance measures $

The Business
The Corporation manufactures and sells highly engineered, high-performance specialty metal products and customized equipment utilized by industry throughout the world. It operates in two business segments – the Forged and Cast Engineered Products (“FCEP”) segment and the Air and Liquid Processing (“ALP”) segment. This segment presentation is consistent with how the Corporation’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates financial performance and makes resource allocation and strategic decisions about the business.
The FCEP segment produces forged hardened steel rolls, cast rolls and forged engineered products (“FEP”). Forged hardened steel rolls are used primarily in hot and cold rolling mills by producers of steel, aluminum and other metals. Cast rolls, which are produced in a variety of iron and steel qualities, are used mainly in hot strip mills, medium/heavy section mills, roughing mills, and plate mills. FEP principally are sold to customers in the steel distribution market, oil and gas industry and the aluminum and plastic extrusion industries. The segment has operations in the United States, England, Sweden, and Slovenia, and an equity interest in three joint venture companies in China. Collectively, the segment primarily competes with European, Asian and North and South American companies in both domestic and foreign markets and distributes a significant portion of its products through sales offices located throughout the world.
The ALP segment includes Aerofin, Buffalo Air Handling and Buffalo Pumps, all divisions of Air & Liquid Systems Corporation (“Air & Liquid”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Aerofin produces custom-engineered finned tube heat exchange coils and related heat transfer products for a variety of industries including original equipment manufacturers and commercial, nuclear power generation and industrial manufacturing. Buffalo Air Handling produces large custom-designed air handling systems for institutional (e.g., hospital, university), pharmaceutical and general industrial building markets. Buffalo Pumps manufactures centrifugal pumps for the fossil-fueled power generation, marine defense and industrial refrigeration industries. The segment has operations in Virginia and New York with headquarters in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. The segment utilizes an independent group of sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada.
Executive Overview
For the FCEP segment, global steel manufacturing capacity continues to exceed global consumption of steel products. Demand for steel is soft but stable. Increased entry of low-priced products from other countries has negatively impacted local demand in the U.S. and Europe, with several of the segment’s largest customers engaging in trade cases to reduce the number of imports into the U.S. The U.S. government previously announced new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to the U.S. and has, for now, removed the exceptions allowing certain countries to send un-tariffed products to the U.S. As of March 31, 2025, tariffs are now incurred on forged and cast rolls shipped from the segment's European facilities into the U.S. and on U.S. forged and cast rolls shipped into China. Since the cast roll market is currently underserved in the U.S., the Corporation believes the segment's European operations are on equal footing with its competition with respect to tariffs. It is expected that the costs associated with tariffs will be passed on to customers. Tariff outcomes are fluid and subject to change. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict how tariffs will affect the ordering patterns of the segment's customers, however, customer deferral of orders is expected.
The primary focus for the FCEP segment is to improve its profitability by maintaining a strong position in the roll market and continuing to improve operational efficiency and equipment reliability following the completion of a significant capital equipment program. In addition, in February 2025, the segment's U.K. operations entered into a formal consultation process with its unions and staff to evaluate various options to improve its profitability, which continues as of March 31, 2025.
For the ALP segment, businesses are benefiting from steady demand and increased market share but continue to face increasing production costs due to inflation. The segment has been implementing price increases for certain of its products to help mitigate these inflationary effects. The focus for this segment is to grow revenues, strengthen engineering and manufacturing capabilities to keep pace with growth opportunities, and continue to improve its sales distribution network. As of March 31, 2025, tariffs are now incurred on certain of the segment's raw materials. It is expected that the costs associated with these tariffs will be passed on to customers. Tariff outcomes are fluid and subject to change; however, the U.S.'s onshoring of additional manufacturing capabilities would potentially increase demand for the segment's products.
The Corporation is actively monitoring, and will continue to actively monitor, changes prompted by the U.S. government, repercussions from the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts and similar geopolitical matters, economic conditions, and other developments relevant to its business including the potential impact on its operations, financial condition, liquidity, suppliers, industry, and workforce.

Net sales approximated $104,265 and $110,215 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $5,950. A discussion of net sales for the Corporation’s two segments is included below.
Income from operations approximated $3,850 and $82 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an improvement of $3,768. A discussion of income from operations for the Corporation’s two segments is included below.
Backlog equaled $368,453 as of March 31, 2025 versus $378,884 as of December 31, 2024. Backlog represents the accumulation of firm orders on hand which: (i) are supported by evidence of a contractual arrangement, (ii) include a fixed and determinable sales price, (iii) have reasonably assured collectability, and (iv) generally are expected to ship within two years from the backlog reporting date. Backlog at a certain date may not be a direct measure of future revenue for a particular order because price increases, negotiated subsequently to the original order, are not included in backlog until the updated contract is received from the customer and certain surcharges are not determinable until the order is complete and ready for shipment to the customer. Approximately 20% of the backlog is expected to be released after 2025. A discussion of backlog by segment is included below.
Costs of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 approximated 78.7% and 83.9%, respectively, with gross margins improving for both the FCEP and ALP segments. See further discussion in the commentary for the Corporation’s two segments below.
Selling and administrative expenses approximated $13,659 and $12,973 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in selling and administrative expenses for the current year period when compared to the same period of the prior year is primarily due to inflationary increases, higher employee-related costs and professional fees.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was comparable and approximated $2,726 and $2,757, respectively. More specifically:

Other income – net fluctuated primarily due to:
Income tax provision for each of the periods includes income taxes associated with the Corporation’s profitable operations. An income tax benefit is not able to be recognized on losses of certain of the Corporation’s entities since it is “more likely than not” the asset will not be realized. Accordingly, changes in the income tax provision for each of the periods include the effects of changes in the pre-tax income of the Corporation’s profitable operations in each jurisdiction and changes in expectations as to whether an income tax benefit will be able to be realized for the deferred income tax assets recognized.
The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes an income tax benefit of approximately $500 resulting from the Corporation's majority-owned Chinese joint venture qualifying as a high-tech enterprise (“HTE”). As an HTE, the earnings of the Chinese joint venture through 2026 will be taxed at a rate of 15% (versus 25%) and, at March 31, 2025, certain net deferred income tax liabilities were revalued at a rate of 15% (versus 25%) thereby reducing deferred income tax liabilities and contributing to the income tax benefit.
Valuation allowances are recorded against the majority of the Corporation’s deferred income tax assets. The Corporation will maintain the valuation allowances until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowances. Given the Corporation’s current earnings and anticipated future earnings in Sweden, the Corporation believes there is a reasonable possibility within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow the Corporation to conclude some portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of any portion of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of deferred income tax assets on the Corporation’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and a decrease to the Corporation’s income tax expense in the period the release is recorded. The exact timing and the amount of the valuation allowance released are subject to, among many items, the level of profitability achieved. Once the valuation allowance is completely reversed, a tax provision would be recognized on future earnings.
Net income (loss) attributable to Ampco-Pittsburgh and net income (loss) per common share attributable to Ampco-Pittsburgh equaled $1,142 and $0.06 per common share and $(2,717) and $(0.14) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income tax benefit resulting from the Corporation's majority-owned Chinese joint venture qualifying as an HTE of approximately $500 improved net income attributable to Ampco-Pittsburgh and net income per common share attributable to Ampco-Pittsburgh by approximately $299 and $0.01 per common share, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The decrease in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, when compared to the same period of the prior year period, is primarily due to:
The improvement in operating income is principally due to changes in product mix, offset in part by the lower volume of shipments and higher manufacturing costs, which had a net benefit to operating income of approximately $1,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Backlog at March 31, 2025 improved when compared to backlog December 31, 2024 by approximately $7,800 with each of the product lines improving. In particular, backlog for:
At March 31, 2025, approximately 31% of backlog is expected to ship after 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Corporation presents non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, other income - net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation along with significant charges or credits that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the Corporation’s ongoing results of operations, or beyond its control. Non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations is calculated as income (loss) from operations excluding depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation along with significant charges or credits that are one-time charges or credits, unrelated to the segment’s ongoing results of operations, or beyond
27
its control. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Beginning in 2025, the Corporation began presenting non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA along with non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations. These measures are key measures used by the Corporation's management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate the operating performance of the Corporation and its segments. While these non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, the Corporation's management and Board of Directors believe these non-GAAP measures enhance comparability to companies in its stated industry peer group.
The Corporation believes these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that otherwise could be masked by the effect of the items it excludes from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income (loss) from operations. The Corporation also believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, shareholders and investors, and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by the Corporation’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations related to the use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, rather than net income (loss), or non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations, rather than income (loss) from operations, which are the nearest GAAP equivalents.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Net cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities equaled $(5,280) and $4,535 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a change of $(9,815) primarily due to:
Trade receivables at March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $11,900 when compared to trade receivables at December 31, 2024 primarily due to:
Inventories at March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $7,400 when compared to inventories at December 31, 2024 primarily due to:
Accounts payable at March 31, 2025 increased by approximately $5,000 when compared to accounts payable at December 31, 2024 primarily due to timing of payments, and higher exchange rates used to translate the accounts payable of the Corporation’s foreign subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar which increased accounts payables at March 31, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024 by approximately $1,100.
Asbestos-related payments are expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The amount of asbestos-related payments and corresponding insurance recoveries are difficult to predict and can vary based on a number of factors, including changes in assumptions, as outlined in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net cash flows used in investing activities equaled $(1,711) and $(2,845) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a change of $1,134 which is primarily due to:

At March 31, 2025, commitments for future capital expenditures approximated $5,200 which are expected to be spent over the next 12-18 months.
Net cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities equaled $(1,727) and $2,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a change of $(3,755) which is primarily due to:
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable to the fluctuation of the British pound and Swedish krona against the U.S. dollar.
As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8,298 during 2025 and ended the period at $7,129 in comparison to $15,427 at December 31, 2024. The majority of the Corporation’s cash and cash equivalents is held by its foreign operations. Domestic customer remittances are used to repay borrowings under the Corporation’s revolving credit facility daily, resulting in minimal cash maintained by the Corporation’s domestic operations. Cash held by the Corporation’s foreign operations is considered to be permanently re-invested; accordingly, a provision for estimated local and withholding tax has not been made. If the Corporation were to remit any foreign earnings to it or any of its U.S. entities, the estimated tax impact would be insignificant.
Funds on hand, funds generated from future operations and availability under the Corporation’s revolving credit facility are expected to be sufficient to finance the Corporation’s operational requirements, debt service costs and capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2025, remaining availability under the revolving credit facility approximated $28,586, net of standard availability reserves. Since a significant portion of the Corporation’s debt includes variable rate interest, increases in the underlying benchmark rates will increase the Corporation’s debt service costs. Similarly, decreases in the underlying benchmark rates will decrease the Corporation’s debt service costs.
The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is June 29, 2026 and, subject to the other terms and conditions of the revolving credit agreement, will become due on that date. However, the Corporation is currently in discussions with its lenders with the intent of securing a mutually beneficial arrangement covering multiple years prior to June 30, 2025. Additionally, while the Corporation anticipates it has sufficient liquidity to finance the Corporation’s operational requirements, debt service costs and capital expenditures, it may from time to time consider alternatives, potential transactions and other strategies in an attempt to enhance its liquidity. Given such measures are forward-looking, the Corporation cannot ensure it will be successful in renegotiating its revolving credit facility or achieving such enhancements to improve its liquidity.

Not applicable.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision, and with the participation, of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules as controls and other procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has concluded the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in internal control. There has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
