Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued Operations

In early 2018, we closed a series of related transactions that resulted in the disposition of our former Offshore segment. Our former Offshore segment is reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We may be required to satisfy certain decommissioning liabilities under third-party indemnity agreements and corporate guarantees for which costs may be significant. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we accrued $5.8 million of decommissioning expense and liability associated with our former Offshore segment for which costs might be above the value of surety bonds on properties previously disposed. See Note 6 - “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional discussion of contingencies related to discontinued operations.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is classified as a current asset when it is expected to be repaid or settled in the next twelve-month period. As of June 30, 2025, restricted cash consists of less than $0.1 million held in escrow in connection with our Arkansas development.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, and impairments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.
Mineral Resources Arrangement
Mineral Resources Arrangement
We have rights to the brine underlying our approximately 40,000 gross acres of brine leases in the Smackover Formation in Southwest Arkansas, including rights to the bromine and lithium contained in the brine. In June 2023, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Saltwerx LLC (“Saltwerx”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation, relating to the Evergreen Unit, and potential bromine and lithium production from brine produced from the unit. We completed an initial preliminary economic assessment in early 2023 for the extraction of the brine and for a bromine processing plant. On January 8, 2024, we announced the completion of a technical resources report for the Evergreen Unit in Arkansas.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
We have designated the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Brazilian real as the functional currencies for our operations in Finland and Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada and Brazil, respectively. The United States dollar is the designated functional currency for most of our other non-U.S. operations. The cumulative translation effects of translating the applicable accounts from the functional currencies into the United States dollar at current exchange rates are included as a separate component of equity.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements

We utilize fair value measurements to account for certain items and account balances within our consolidated financial statements. Fair value measurements are utilized on a recurring basis in the determination of the carrying values of certain investments. See Note 7 - “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion. Fair value measurements are also utilized on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, including the impairment of long-lived assets (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

Standards not yet adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures about certain expenses included in the income statement, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, intangible asset amortization and depreciation. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The new standard requires companies to disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of these standards but does not expect them to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption as the standards expand disclosures only.
