| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
| Merger | Merger On March 26, 2026, (the “Closing Date”) Viskase Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) consummated the previously announced transactions pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2025, by and among Viskase Companies, Inc., EPSC Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Enzon”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 24, 2025 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Viskase Companies, Inc., with Viskase Companies, Inc. continuing as the surviving entity following the Merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Viskase Holdings, Inc. Promptly following the Merger, Viskase Companies, Inc. converted into a limited liability company under Delaware law and changed its name to “Viskase Companies, LLC”, which we refer to as “Viskase Companies”. Promptly following the Merger, Enzon filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware to change its name to “Viskase Holdings, Inc.” The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Merger.” Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements to “Viskase” and “the Company” refer to the business and operations of Viskase Companies prior to the Merger and to Viskase Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Merger. See Note 2, Merger, for additional information on the Merger. |
| Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations Viskase Holdings, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (“we” or the “Company”) is a producer of non-edible cellulosic, fibrous and plastic casings used to prepare and package processed meat products, and provides value-added support services relating to these products, for some of the largest global consumer products companies. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1970. The Company operates eight manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia and, as a result, is able to sell its products in nearly one hundred countries throughout the world. |
| Going Concern | Going Concern The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate refinancing of its Senior Credit Facility before its maturity in August 2027. We fully expect the refinancing will be completed before the maturity of its Senior Credit Facility. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds to refinance these maturities or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company, and therefore substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company being unable to continue as a going concern. |
| Seasonality | Seasonality Historically, our domestic sales and profits have been seasonal in nature, increasing in the spring and summer months. Sales outside of the United States follow a relatively stable pattern throughout the year. |
| Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Some details and footnotes required under U.S. GAAP have been reduced or omitted to meet regulatory guidelines in the interim financial statements, but the Company believes the information remains clear and accurate. For a more complete understanding, these interim financial statements should be considered alongside the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company believes that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments, comprising routine recurring accruals, to accurately reflect the financial position as of June 30, 2026, as well as the operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. However, the operating results for the period ended June 30, 2026 may not be representative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. |
| Noncontrolling Interests | Noncontrolling Interests The Company consolidated its variable interest in a joint venture, VE Netting, LLC, as the Company is identified as the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests reflect the equity ownership held by third parties. These noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity within the consolidated financial statements, distinct from the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The portion of net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
| Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and include the use of estimates and assumptions that affect a number of amounts included in the Company’s financial statements, including, among other things, pensions and other postretirement benefits and related disclosures, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, allowance for credit losses, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. If actual amounts are ultimately different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company’s results for the period in which the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between the Company’s estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
| Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. Management believes the fair value of the Company’s revolving loans approximate the carrying value due to credit risk or current market rates, which approximate the effective interest rates on those instruments. The fair value of the Company’s term loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flow using the Company’s current borrowing rates for similar types and maturities of debt. |
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company has long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Long-lived assets to be held and used are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. Impairments are recognized when the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows derived from long-lived assets are less than their carrying value. If impairment is identified, the loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset group over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized an impairment of $226 in the North America asset group. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company implemented restructuring plans (see Note 16 – Restructuring) which resulted in asset write-offs of $9,600 in the North America asset group. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, the amounts of any future tax benefits are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be realized on a more likely than not basis. A two-step approach is applied pursuant to ASC 740 in the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our provision for income taxes line of our consolidated statements of operations. |
| Restructuring | Restructuring Restructuring charges are incurred for programs in which the Company changes its operations, the scope of a business undertaken by its business units, or the manner in which that business is conducted. Such charges may include employee severance, retention bonuses, facility closure or consolidation costs, lease or contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and other related expenses. The restructuring programs may be implemented due to the sale or discontinuation of a product line, reorganization or management structure changes, headcount rationalization, realignment of operations or products, and/or company-wide cost saving initiatives. The amount and/or frequency of these restructuring charges are not part of the Company’s underlying business. Employee severance costs are generally recognized when payments are probable and amounts are reasonably estimable. Costs related to contracts without future benefit or contract termination are recognized at fair value at the earlier of the contract termination or the cease-use dates. Other exit-related costs are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 16 – Restructuring for additional details. |
| Variable Interest Entity | Variable Interest Entity The Company holds a variable interest in VE Netting, LLC. The joint venture is a manufacturing, marketing and selling company of high-quality netting solutions for the meat and poultry industry. VE Netting, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business in Lombard, IL. The netting product is manufactured under agreement by Viskase’s affiliate located in Monterrey, Mexico. VE Netting, LLC was determined to be a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidations, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and has the right to receive benefits and losses that may potentially be significant. As the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the VIE’s assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in “Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 14 -Variable Interest Entity for standalone financial information. |
| Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income | Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income Other comprehensive (loss) income includes all other non-stockholder changes in equity. Changes in other comprehensive income (loss) for three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 resulted from changes in foreign currency translation and pension liability. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists of cumulative changes in foreign currency translation and pension liability. The Company uses the portfolio approach for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenues are comprised of product sales to customers, including distributors and end users. The Company’s performance obligation is defined as the promise to deliver the specified products in a purchase order. Revenue is recognized at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally when product title passes to the customer according to the shipping terms dictated in the contract. In most contracts, title transfers upon shipment of the product; however, in some cases, title does not transfer until the customer has received the products at their specified location. Revenue is recorded at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing its products to customers. The transaction price may be adjusted for estimates of known or expected variable consideration, including consumer incentives, trade promotions, and rebate programs. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that will be realized and records the estimate as a reduction to the transaction price. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time. In determining whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained, we consider the likelihood and magnitude of a potential revenue reversal. The Company’s provision for variable consideration is recorded at contract inception and reviewed and updated regularly as new information arises throughout the contract term. Any adjustments due to resolved uncertainties or new information are recognized in the period in which the adjustment is identified. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from the transaction price, while shipping and handling fees reimbursed by the customer are included in the transaction price and recorded on a gross basis on the income statement. The Company generally does not offer warranties or a right to return on the products it sells except in the instance of a product defect or mis-ship. Payment terms vary by customer; however, the time between invoicing and payment is not significant. None of the Company’s customer contracts as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 contain a significant financing component. |
| Segments | Segments Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company’s chief operating decision maker makes such decisions and assesses performance at the geographic region level, including North America, South America, EMEA, and Asia which are the Company’s four reportable segments under ASC 280. See Note 12, Business Segment Information and Geographic Area Information for further information. |
| Debt | Debt The Company accounts for debt in accordance with ASC 470, Debt (ASC 470). Issuance costs for term debt are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the interest method under ASC 835-30. The effective interest rate for variable rate debt is determined in accordance with ASC 310-20-35, in which the Company’s policy is to use the variable rate at inception of the debt in the determination of the constant effective yield. |
| Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). This standard clarifies the guidance in determining the accounting acquirer in certain transactions involving VIEs. The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting for acquisition transactions effected primarily by exchanging equity interests. ASU 2025-03 requires entities to apply the same factors used for determining the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. The ASU is applied prospectively to all business combinations with acquisition dates occurring on or after the date of initial application. The ASU is effective for all annual reporting periods (and interim periods in annual reporting periods) beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted in interim or annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). Management has elected to early adopt ASU 2025-03 in 2025 and did not result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which required enhanced income tax disclosures that reflect how operations and related tax risks, as well as how tax planning and operational opportunities, affect the tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. This standard was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2025 with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be applied on a prospective basis but retrospective application was permitted. The adoption of this guidance modified disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Our adoption on prospective basis in 2025 did not result in a material impact on our disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disclosure of specific information about costs and expenses within relevant expense captions on the face of the income statement, qualitative descriptions for expense captions not specifically disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount and definition of selling expenses for interim and annual reporting periods. This standard is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028 and should be applied on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The update introduces a practical expedient that permits an entity to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets when estimating expected credit losses. The amendments are intended to simplify the application of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to short-term receivables and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-05 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
