Reportable Segment Renaming
Reportable Segment Renaming
During 2026, dispositions within our former Performance Chemicals reportable segment resulted in a change to the segment's name. Historically, our Performance Chemicals reportable segment consisted of the pavement technologies, industrial specialties, and road markings product lines. Following the sale of the industrial specialties product line on January 1, 2026, and the sale of the road markings product line on April 15, 2026, the pavement technologies product line became the sole remaining product line within the former Performance Chemicals segment; refer to Note 16 for additional information regarding these dispositions. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2026, we renamed the Performance Chemicals reportable segment to Pavement Technologies to better reflect the segment's operations. The segment rename did not affect our reportable segment structure, and segment information has been updated to reflect the new segment name, where applicable.
Basis of Consolidation
Basis of Consolidation and 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, 2025, 2024 and 2023, collectively referred to as the "Annual Consolidated Financial Statements," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report").
In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented and contain adequate disclosures to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results 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 reclassifications have been made in the company's financial statements for prior periods to conform to the current-year presentation.

New Accounting Guidance Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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. Recently issued ASUs that are not listed within this Form 10-Q have been assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which is intended to enhance disclosures regarding significant expenses. The purpose of the amendment is to provide readers of the financial statements with information to better understand an entity's overall performance, assess potential future cash flows, and compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. The guidance is effective beginning with our 2027 fiscal year Form 10-K. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, "Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations," which is intended to improve the financial accounting for and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The purpose of the amendment is to provide recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. The guidance is effective beginning with our 2028 fiscal year Form 10-K. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Income Taxes
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.
