Of the total intangibles (net of amortization) and goodwill, $124 million is attributable to the petroleum additives segment and $799 million is attributable to the specialty materials segment. The change in the gross carrying amount between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 is due to measurement period adjustments related to the Calca acquisition and foreign currency fluctuation on goodwill in the petroleum additives segment. See Note 2 for further information on the intangibles and goodwill obtained with the Calca acquisition. There is no accumulated goodwill impairment.
