Note 1: Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Ingevity Corporation ("Ingevity," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a leading global manufacturer of specialty chemicals and high performance activated carbon materials. We provide innovative solutions to meet our customers’ unique and demanding requirements through proprietary formulated products. We report in two business segments, Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals. Performance Materials manufactures products in the form of powder, granular, extruded pellets, extruded honeycombs, and activated carbon sheets. Performance Chemicals manufactures products derived from crude tall oil ("CTO") and lignin extracted from the kraft paper making process as well as caprolactone monomers and derivatives derived from cyclohexanone and hydrogen peroxide.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, collectively referred to as the “Annual Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report").
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.
Note 2: New Accounting Guidance
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to communicate changes to the Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This ASU amends ASC 740 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to income taxes. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance became effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and we may elect to apply the amendments

In addition to the investment securities, we also have company-owned life insurance ("COLI") related to the deferred compensation arrangement. COLI is recorded at cash surrender value and included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $12.9 million and $10.8 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Equity Investment
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, our Performance Materials segment acquired a strategic equity investment in a privately-held company for $16.5 million. Our strategic equity investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which requires us to record our initial investment at cost. Subsequently, we will recognize, through the condensed consolidated statements of operations (Other (income) expense, net) and as an adjustment to the investment balance (Other assets), our proportionate share of undistributed earnings or loss and the amortization of basis differences. At each reporting period, we will evaluate our investment to determine whether events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. The carrying value of our strategic equity investment was $16.5 million at June 30, 2021 and zero at December 31, 2020. There were no adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic equity investment for impairment or observable price changes during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Restricted Investment
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of our restricted investment, which is accounted for as held-to-maturity ("HTM") and therefore recorded at amortized costs, was $74.9 million and $73.6 million, net of an allowance for credit losses of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, and included cash of $3.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The fair value at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $80.8 million and $81.5 million, respectively, based on Level 1 inputs.
The following table shows the total amortized cost of our HTM debt securities by credit rating, excluding the allowance for credit losses and cash. The primary factor in our expected credit loss calculation is the composite bond rating. As the rating decreases, the risk present in holding the bond is inherently increased, leading to an increase in expected credit losses.

Debt Obligations
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of finance lease obligations was $102.8 million and $103.1 million, respectively, and the fair value was $121.6 million and $127.0 million, respectively. The fair value of all other finance lease obligations approximates their carrying values.
The carrying amount, excluding debt issuance fees, of our variable interest rate long-term debt was $337.5 million and $353.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the outstanding debt based on the variable interest rate of the debt.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of our fixed rate debt was $850.0 856.7 million and $864.1 million, respectively, based on Level 2 inputs.

Contingent Consideration
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets in May 2020, we are contingently obligated to make an additional payment for such assets of up to an aggregate amount of $7.0 million. The contingent consideration is payable if certain sales volume targets are achieved prior to the measurement period ending on December 31, 2024, herein referred to as "Revenue Earn-out."
The fair value of the five-year Revenue Earn-out consideration was $0.8 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability will be recorded in current period earnings as a selling, general, and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 8: Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Net Investment Hedges
We have fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $166.2 million and a maturity date of July 2023. We designated the swaps to hedge a portion of our net investment in a euro functional currency denominated subsidiary against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts involve the exchange of fixed U.S. dollars with fixed euro interest payments periodically over the life of the contract and an exchange of the notional amount at maturity. This effectively converts a portion of our U.S. dollar denominated fixed-rate debt from a weighted average rate of 3.79 percent to a euro denominated weighted average fixed rate of 1.71 percent. The difference between the fixed interest rate on the U.S. dollar denominated debt compared to euro denominated debt is recorded as interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the fixed-to-fixed cross currency interest rate swap was a net asset (liability) of $(4.4 ) million and $(8.6 ) million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net interest income associated with this financial instrument of $0.1 million and $0.2 0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management
We manufacture and sell our products in several countries throughout the world and, thus, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we net the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. To manage the remaining exposure, from time to time, we utilize forward currency exchange contracts and zero cost collar option contracts to minimize the volatility to earnings and cash flows resulting from the effect of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on export sales denominated in foreign currencies (principally the euro). These contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges. Designated cash flow hedges entered to minimize foreign currency exchange risk of forecasted revenue transactions are recorded to Net sales on the consolidated statement of operations when the forecasted transaction occurs. As of June 30, 2021, there were $12.7 million open foreign currency derivative contracts. The fair value of the designated foreign currency hedge contracts was an asset (liability) of $0.2 million and $(0.1 ) million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk Management
Certain energy sources used in our manufacturing operations are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply and demand conditions, economic variables, and other unpredictable factors. This volatility is primarily related to the market pricing of natural gas. To mitigate expected fluctuations in market prices and the volatility to earnings and cash flow resulting from changes to pricing of natural gas purchases, from time to time, we will enter into swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts and designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2021, we had 0.4 million and 0.7 million mmBTUS (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2021, open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until February 2022. The fair value of the outstanding designated natural gas commodity hedge contracts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was a net asset (liability) of $0.8 million and $(0.1 ) million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk Management
Our policy is to manage interest expense using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. To manage interest rate risk effectively, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate derivative instruments, which can consist of forward starting swaps. In all cases, the notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements is equal to or less than the designated debt being hedged. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. Designated interest rate cash flow hedge gains or losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and are recognized in "Interest expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the remaining maturity of the underlying debt.
As of June 30, 2021, we have floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $166.2 million to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest rate payments associated with our existing LIBOR-based interest payments, effectively converting $166.2 million of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate. In accordance with the terms of this instrument, we receive floating rate interest payments based upon three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a fixed rate of 3.79 percent until July 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset (liability) of $(6.7 ) million and $(8.9 ) million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(2) Debt maturing within one year is included in "Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Debt Covenants
Our indentures contain certain customary covenants (including covenants limiting Ingevity's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to grant or permit liens on certain property securing debt, declare or pay dividends, make distributions on or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, engage in sale and lease-back transactions, and engage in a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of our and our restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and events of default (subject in certain cases to customary exceptions, as well as grace and cure periods). The occurrence of an event of default under the 2026 Notes or 2028 Notes could result in the acceleration of the notes of such series and could cause a cross-default resulting in the acceleration of other indebtedness of Ingevity and its subsidiaries, including the other series. We were in compliance with all covenants under the indentures as of June 30, 2021.
The credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility and 2017 term loan contain customary default provisions, including defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, insolvency, non-compliance with covenants and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness. The occurrence of an uncured event of default under the credit agreement could result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and our revolving credit facility and term loan facilities being terminated. The credit agreement also contains certain customary covenants, including financial covenants. The revolving credit facility financial covenants require Ingevity to maintain on a consolidated basis a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 (which may be increased to 4.5 to 1.0 under certain circumstances) and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. Additionally, the 2017 term loan financial covenants require Ingevity to maintain on a consolidated basis a maximum total gross leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0 (which may be increased to 4.5 to 1.0 under certain circumstances) and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. Our actual gross and net leverage for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2021 were 2.6 and 2.2 , respectively, and our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2021 was 11.7 . We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2021.

Restructuring charges
During the second quarter of 2020, we implemented a cost reduction initiative to realign our cost structure in response to reduced demand for some of our products due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this cost reduction initiative, we recorded severance and other employee-related costs of zero and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $5.8 million in in the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded severance and other employee-related costs of $6.0 million, which included $0.2 million associated with the reorganization initiated in the third quarter of 2019.

Business transformation initiative costs
In the first quarter of 2020, we embarked upon a business transformation initiative that includes the implementation of an upgraded enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. This new ERP system will equip our employees with standardized processes and secure integrated technology that enable us to better understand and meet our customers' needs and compete in the marketplace. We expect this business transformation initiative and related ERP implementation to be a complex, multi-year project. It requires the integration of the new ERP system with multiple new and existing information systems and business processes, in order to maintain the accuracy of our books and records and to provide our management team with real-time information important to the operation of our business. Such an implementation initiative is a major financial undertaking and will require substantial time and attention of management and key employees. Costs incurred, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, of $4.3 million and $8.1 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, of $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, represent costs directly associated with the business transformation initiative that, in accordance with GAAP, cannot be capitalized. Over the course of this initiative, we anticipate incurring approximately $60 -70 million of total costs, which includes $30 -35 million of non-capitalizable costs, $18 -20 million of which we expect to be incurred in 2021.

Note 13: Income Taxes
The effective tax rates, including discrete items, were as follows:

| 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Effective tax rate (1) | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
_______________
(1) The increase in the effective tax rate in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was driven by a legislative tax rate change.
.
We determine our interim tax provision using an Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate methodology (“EAETR”). The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision.
The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pre-tax ordinary income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. As our projections of ordinary income change throughout the year, the EAETR will change period-to-period. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the period they occur. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter may materially impact the reported effective tax rate. As a global enterprise, our tax expense may be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there may be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

(3) Legislative tax rate changes, enacted in the United Kingdom ("UK"), resulted in discrete tax expense of $14.7 million related to the revaluation of our net deferred tax liability associated with our UK operations. The corporate tax rate in the UK increased from 19.0 % to 25.0 %.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had deferred tax assets of $9.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, resulting from certain historical net operating losses from our Brazilian and Chinese operations and U.S. state tax credits for which a valuation allowance has been established. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these net operating losses and tax credits are available to be used. In evaluating the realizability of these deferred tax assets, we consider projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making our assessment. As of June 30, 2021, we cannot objectively assert that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized and therefore we have maintained a valuation allowance. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion

Note 16: Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted net income per share excludes all antidilutive common shares.

Recent Developments
Strategic Investment
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, our Performance Materials segment acquired a strategic equity investment in a privately-held company for $16.5 million. Our strategic equity investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, which requires us to record our initial investment at cost. Subsequently, we will recognize, through the condensed consolidated statements of operations (Other (income) expense, net) and as an adjustment to the investment balance (Other assets), our proportionate share of undistributed earnings or loss and the amortization of basis differences. At each reporting period, we will evaluate our investment to determine whether events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. The carrying value of our strategic equity investment was $16.5 million at June 30, 2021 and zero at December 31, 2020. There were no adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic equity investment for impairment or observable price changes during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Net sales and Gross profit
The table below shows the 2021 Net sales and percentage variances from 2020:
| Percentage change vs. prior year | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In millions, except percentages | Net sales | Total change | Currency effect | Price/Mix | Volume | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Six months ended June 30, 2021 | $ | 678.7 | 21% | 1% | 3% | 17% | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Net sales increase of $87.8 million in 2021 was primarily driven by favorable volume growth in both of our segments for a combined impact of $73.1 million and favorable pricing and product mix of $12.0 million. Additionally, favorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $2.7 million, primarily related to euro and Chinese renminbi denominated sales.
31
Gross profit increase of $55.9 million was driven by favorable sales volume of $38.9 million and favorable pricing and product mix of $10.1 million. Also contributing to the increase was lower manufacturing costs of $6.0 million, driven by higher plant throughput, offset slightly by increased freight and warehousing costs, as a result of increased volume demand, and favorable foreign currency exchange of $0.9 million. Refer to the Segment Operating Results section included within this MD&A for more information on the drivers to the changes in gross profit period over period for both segments.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Net sales increase of $119.9 million in 2021 was primarily driven by favorable volume growth in both of our segments for a combined impact of $98.7 million and favorable pricing and product mix of $15.3 million. Additionally, favorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $5.9 million, primarily related to euro and Chinese renminbi denominated sales.
Gross profit increase of $67.5 million was driven by favorable sales volume of $52.4 million, favorable pricing and product mix of $14.9 million, and favorable foreign currency exchange of $1.7 million. These positive impacts were slightly offset by higher net manufacturing costs of $1.5 million driven by freight, raw material price inflation, energy costs, and depreciation expenses, partially offset by higher plant throughput as a result of increased volume demand. Refer to the Segment Operating Results section included within this MD&A for more information on the drivers to the changes in gross profit period over period for both segments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $13.0 million in 2021 compared to the significantly COVID-19 impacted prior year. The change in SG&A was driven by higher employee-related costs of $10.5 million, increased amortization expense of $1.3 million, and higher travel and other miscellaneous expense of $1.2 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased slightly to 13.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 12.7 percent in 2020, driven by lower employee-related and travel costs in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
SG&A increased $14.5 million in 2021 compared to 2020. The change in SG&A was driven by higher employee-related costs of $16.1 million, of which $4.2 million related to a one-time benefit recorded in 2020, and increased amortization expense of $1.6 million. The higher employee-related costs and amortization expense were partially offset by reduced legal, travel and other miscellaneous costs of $3.2 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreased slightly to 12.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 13.1 percent in 2020, driven by the lower spending in 2020 due to COVID-19 and higher sales in 2021.
Research and technical expenses
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Research and technical expenses as a percentage of Net sales remained relatively consistent period over period, decreasing to 1.6 percent from 2.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Research and technical expenses as a percentage of Net sales remained relatively consistent period over period, decreasing to 1.8 percent from 2.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
32
Restructuring and other (income) charges, net
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Restructuring and other (income) charges, net were $4.3 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $7.3 million and $7.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 within the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Acquisition-related costs
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Acquisition-related costs were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, charges of $0.2 million and $0.2 million relate to the acquisition of a strategic investment in the Performance Materials segment, respectively, and charges of $0.2 million and $0.5 million relate to the integration of the Perstorp Capa business into our Performance Chemicals segment, respectively.

Segment Operating Results
In addition to the information discussed above, the following sections discuss the results of operations for both of Ingevity's segments. Our segments are (i) Performance Materials and (ii) Performance Chemicals. Segment Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is the primary measure used by the Company's chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources among our operating segments. Segment EBITDA is defined as segment revenue less segment operating expenses (segment operating expenses consist of costs of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, other (income) expense, net, excluding depreciation and amortization). We have excluded the following items from segment EBITDA: interest expense, net associated with corporate debt facilities, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges.
In general, the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2020 Annual Report.

Segment net sales were also impacted by favorable pricing implemented during the first half of 2021 in response to raw material inflation as well as product sales mix for a net impact of $10.0 million. The net price/mix impact was driven by increases in engineered polymers ($5.6 million), pavement technologies ($3.1 million), and industrial specialties ($1.3 million). Additionally, favorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $0.9 million.
Segment EBITDA increased by $13.2 million primarily due to an increase in volume of $17.2 million and favorable pricing and product mix of $9.1 million. These favorable operating results were offset slightly by higher manufacturing costs of $5.7 million due to higher energy and freight costs, higher SG&A expenses of $6.7 million, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange of $0.7 million.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted EBITDA
Ingevity has presented the financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, defined below, which has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and has provided a reconciliation to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by management as a measure of profitability.
We believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides management as well as investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the business, because such measure, when viewed together with our financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it excludes the effects of investment activities as well as non-operating activities.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring and other (income) charges, net, acquisition and other-related costs, and pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges, net.
This non-GAAP measure is not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP and investors should consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is set forth below.

Based on our solid performance in the second quarter and first half of the year and the continued robust demand for our products, we are increasing our fiscal year 2021 guidance for sales to be between $1.32 and $1.36 billion and adjusted EBITDA to between $425 and $440 million. We expect issues related to the availability and rising costs of logistics, raw materials inflation and automotive sector input disruptions to be ongoing headwinds throughout the rest of the year. We are paying close attention to supply and demand in the market and will pass through costs to ensure we extract the optimal value for our products. Despite these macro headwinds, we see reason for optimism. We believe Performance Materials will benefit in 2022 and beyond from the expected rebound in automotive production as a result of pent-up vehicle demand. We also expect continued robust demand for our Performance Chemicals products and will pursue further improved pricing to offset higher raw materials costs.
A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2021 is not provided. Ingevity does not forecast net income as it cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. These components, net of tax, include further restructuring and other income (charges), net; additional acquisition and other-related costs; additional pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment (income) charges; and revisions due to legislative tax rate changes. Additionally, discrete tax items could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted EBITDA, that have a similar impact on comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact adjusted EBITDA.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary source of liquidity for our business is the cash flow provided by operating activities. We expect our cash flow provided by operations combined with cash on hand and available capacity under our revolving credit facility to be sufficient to to fund our planned operations and meet our interest and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2021, our undrawn capacity under our revolving credit facility was $497.3 million. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make interest payments, capital expenditures, expenditures related to our business transformation initiative, principal repayments, purchases pursuant to our stock repurchase program, income tax payments, and to incur additional spending associated with our Performance Materials' intellectual property litigation. In addition, we may also evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, or other transactions to create stockholder value and enhance financial performance. In connection with such transactions, or to fund other anticipated uses of cash, we may modify our
38
existing revolving credit and term loan facilities, seek additional debt financing, issue equity securities, or some combination thereof.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $233.3 million at June 30, 2021. We continuously monitor deposit concentrations and the credit quality of the financial institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents, as well as the credit quality of our insurance providers, customers, and key suppliers.
Due to the global nature of our operations, a portion of our cash is held outside the U.S. The cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2021 included $86.0 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generally used to finance our foreign operations and capital expenditures. We believe that our foreign holdings of cash will not have a material adverse impact on our U.S. liquidity. If these earnings were distributed, such amounts would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the statutory rate less the available foreign tax credits, if any, and potentially subject to withholding taxes in the various jurisdictions. The potential tax implications of the repatriation of unremitted earnings are driven by facts at the time of distribution, therefore, it is not practicable to estimate the income tax liabilities that might be incurred if such cash and earnings were repatriated to the U.S. Management does not currently expect to repatriate cash earnings from our foreign operations in order to fund U.S. operations.
Other Potential Liquidity Needs
Share Repurchases
On February 28, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock and rescinded the prior two outstanding authorizations. Our repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market prevailing conditions and other factors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased $28.7 million and $68.1 million in common stock, representing 356,116 and 883,666 shares of our common stock at a weighted average cost per share of $80.50 and $77.00, respectively. At June 30, 2021, $344.0 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program.
Capital Expenditures
Projected 2021 capital expenditures are $100 - $120 million. We have no material commitments associated with these projected capital expenditures as of June 30, 2021.

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities
During the first six months of 2021, cash flow provided by operations increased primarily due to higher earnings driven by the increase in net sales. The increase in net sales also drove higher accounts receivable and corresponding plant production that resulted in higher inventory levels, which negatively impacted the cash flow provided by operations compared to 2020. Below provides a description of the changes to working capital during the first six months of 2021 (i.e. current assets and current liabilities).

| Total current assets | $ | 669.6 | $ | 628.7 | |||||||
Current assets as of June 30, 2021 increased $40.9 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to increases in Accounts receivable, net and Inventories, net. Accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2021, increased $29.3 million due to increased sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Inventories increased by $25.5 million mainly due to the build of inventory to support forecasted sales. These increases were offset by a decrease in Cash and cash equivalents of $24.4 million compared to the balance at December 31, 2020. Additionally, Prepaid and other current assets increased by $10.5 million, primarily related to prepaid insurance and services.

| Total current liabilities | $ | 232.8 | $ | 223.4 | |||||||
Current liabilities as of June 30, 2021, increased by $9.4 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in Accounts payable and Accrued payroll and employee benefits. This increase was offset partially by decreases in Current operating lease liabilities, Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt, and Accrued expenses.
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities
Cash used by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $57.2 million and was primarily driven by capital expenditures. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, capital spending included the base maintenance capital supporting ongoing operations and growth and cost improvement spending primarily related to our business transformation initiative (see Note 12 within the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information). Also, during six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired a strategic equity investment in a privately-held company for $16.5 million.

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
Cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $83.6 million and was driven by the repurchase of common stock of $68.1 million, payments on long-term borrowings of $14.1 million, and tax payments related to withholdings on restricted stock unit vestings of $2.3 million. Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $45.9 million and was primarily driven by net borrowings of $88.8 million from our revolving credit facility, offset by payments on long-term borrowings of $9.4 million, tax payments related to withholdings on restricted stock unit vestings of $3.0 million, and the repurchase of common stock of $32.4 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Contractual Obligations
Information related to our contractual commitments at December 31, 2020 can be found in a table included within Part II, Item 7 of our 2020 Annual Report. Except as described above, there have been no material changes to our contractual commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
New Accounting Guidance
Refer to the Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and expected effects on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have described our accounting policies in Note 3 to our 2020 Annual Report. We have reviewed these accounting policies, identifying those that we believe to be critical to the preparation and understanding of our financial statements. Critical accounting policies are central to our presentation of results of operations and financial condition and require management to make estimates and judgments on certain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current conditions and other reasonable factors. Our critical accounting policies have not substantially changed from those described in the 2020 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
We have non-U.S.-based operations, primarily in Europe, South America and Asia, which accounted for approximately 26 percent of our net sales in the first six months of 2021. We have designated the local currency as the functional currency of our significant operations outside of the U.S. The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the Japanese yen, the pound sterling, and the Chinese renminbi. In addition, our domestic operations have sales to foreign customers, and in the conduct of our foreign operations, we also make inter-company sales. All of this exposes us to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our earnings are, therefore, subject to change due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when our foreign currency denominated transactions are translated into U.S. dollars. In some cases, we use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows. Our largest exposures are to the Chinese renminbi and the euro. A hypothetical 10 percent change in the average Chinese renminbi and euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates during the six months ended June 30, 2021, would have impacted our net sales and income before income taxes by approximately $8.5 million or one percent, and $3.0 million or two percent, respectively.
Interest rate risk
As of June 30, 2021, approximately $338 million of our borrowings include a variable interest rate component. As a result, we are subject to interest rate risk with respect to such floating-rate debt. A 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings as of June 30, 2021 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $3.4 million or seven percent.
As of June 30, 2021, we have entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $166.2 million to limit exposure to interest rate payments associated with our existing LIBOR-based interest payments, effectively converting $166.2 million of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate. In accordance with the terms of the interest rate swap, we receive floating rate interest payments based upon three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and in return are obligated to pay interest at a fixed rate of 3.79 percent until July 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset (liability) of $(6.7) million and $(8.9) million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Other market risks
Information about our other remaining market risks for the period ended June 30, 2021 does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of our 2020 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Ingevity maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Ingevity's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of June 30, 2021, Ingevity's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Ingevity's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level described above.
42
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting.
We are implementing a new global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next two years. Currently, we have had no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting with respect to this implementation, however, as the implementation progresses, we will give appropriate consideration to whether any process changes necessitate changes in the design of and testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
43
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation and other legal matters incidental to our operations. None of the litigation or other legal matters in which we are currently involved, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations nor are we aware of any material pending or contemplated proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in Ingevity's risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2020 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
