(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Axalta," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months then ended. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In March 2020, we adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" which provides optional expedients exercisable through December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.      In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. As of June 30, 2021, the expedients provided in this standard do not impact the Company. We will continue to monitor for potential impacts on our financial statements.
In December 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and updating provisions related to accounting for franchise (or similar) tax partially based on income and interim recognition of enactment of tax law changes. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had a negative impact on the global economy. The Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows were significantly impacted during 2020 as a result of the pandemic and we continue to see impacts to our business given the continued significant presence, and actual or potential spread, of the virus globally, as well as preventative measures enacted in certain regions of the world. We are currently unable to fully determine the future impact of COVID-19 on our business, though we believe the pandemic will continue to have a negative effect on our business during 2021, and potentially longer. We are monitoring the progression of the pandemic and its ongoing and potential effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, which effects could be materially adverse in a particular quarterly reporting period as well as on an annual basis for 2021, and potentially longer.
(2) REVENUE
Consideration for products in which control has transferred to our customers that is conditional on something other than the passage of time is recorded as a contract asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet. The contract asset balances at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $ 39.7 million and $ 37.2 million, respectively.

10
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, unless otherwise noted)
We provide certain customers with incremental up-front consideration, subject to clawback provisions, including Business Incentive Plan assets ("BIPs"), which is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement as a reduction of net sales. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total carrying value of BIPs were $ 156.1 million and $ 165.4 million, respectively, and are presented within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, $ 13.7 million, $ 29.0 million, $ 16.4 million and $ 33.3 million, respectively, was amortized and reflected as reductions of net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total carrying value of BIPs exclude other upfront incentives made in conjunction with long-term customer commitments of $ 76.9 million and $ 79.8 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which will be repaid in future periods.
See Note 16 for disaggregated net sales by end-market.
(3) GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired a producer of wire enamels used in a range of consumer electronics, electric vehicle and industrial applications, based in China. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination within our industrial end-market and Performance Coatings segment. The overall impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements were not considered material as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, we have not yet finalized the purchase accounting related to the acquisition and the amounts recorded represent preliminary values. We expect to finalize our purchase accounting during the measurement period which will be no later than one year following the acquisition date.

2025 68.0
2026 67.5
(4) RESTRUCTURING
In accordance with the applicable guidance for ASC 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits , we accounted for contractual termination benefits and recognized liabilities when the loss was considered probable that employees were entitled to benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred costs for termination benefits of $ 22.5 million, $ 27.0 million, $ 13.7 million and $ 32.2 million, respectively. Pretax charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily relate to additional employee severance charges within Europe that were excluded from the previously announced global restructuring during July 2020 as we resolved the open aspects related to works council consultations and local legal requirements during the quarter . The majority of our termination benefits are recorded within other operating (benefits) charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining payments associated with these actions are expected to be substantially completed within 24 months.
The following table summarizes the activity related to termination benefit reserves and expenses from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021:
2021 Activity
Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 55.8
Expenses, net of changes to estimates 27.0
Payments made ( 24.7 )
Foreign currency translation ( 1.2 )
Balance at June 30, 2021 $ 56.9
(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
We guarantee certain of our customers’ obligations to third parties, whereby any default by our customers on their obligations could force us to make payments to the applicable creditors. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $ 6.6 million and $ 8.5 million, respectively. A portion of our bank guarantees expire between 2021 and 2026, while others do not have specified expiration dates. We monitor the customer obligations and bank guarantees to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred a $ 1.0 million charge related to our outstanding bank guarantees. We did no t have any liabilities related to our outstanding bank guarantees recorded at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Operational Matter
In January 2021, we became aware of an operational matter affecting certain North America Mobility Coatings customer manufacturing sites. The matter involves the use and application of certain of our products in combination with and incorporated within third party products. The matter occurred over a discrete period during the fourth quarter of 2020.
When we filed, and as disclosed in, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we estimated that it was reasonably possible that losses associated with the matter could have been up to $ 250 million. Subsequent to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and through the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there were further developments which led us to conclude that losses from this matter were probable and, therefore, recorded a charge of $ 94.4 million for such probable estimated losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We also disclosed that, at the time, based on the information then currently available surrounding the full scope and

12
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In millions, unless otherwise noted)
associated responsibilities among relevant parties, we believed that it was reasonably possible that we could incur losses, in addition to the recorded probable losses, of up to $ 65 million.
Given further developments during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we have reduced our previously recorded estimated charge by $ 71.8 million which has resulted in a benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This reflects an estimated $ 29.4 million for insurance receivables recorded within Accounts and notes receivable, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2021, as we have obtained confirmation from our insurance carriers that the relevant policies provide coverage for certain losses arising under this matter. The updated amount of the charge also reflects a net decrease of approximately $ 42.4 million, as we have learned more about the matter, including actual costs to repair the impacted products and the number of impacted products. Liabilities of $ 50.1 million are recorded as Other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2021 and we do no t believe at this time that there are any incremental reasonably possible losses. The recorded probable losses remain an estimate and actual costs arising from this matter could be materially lower or higher depending on the actual costs incurred to repair the impacted products as well as the availability of additional insurance coverage.

We are subject to various pending lawsuits, legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of business, including civil, regulatory and environmental matters. These matters may involve third-party indemnification obligations and/or insurance covering all or part of any potential damage incurred by us. All of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the proceedings and other claims at this time. The potential effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable. Except as set forth in the "Operational Matter" section above, we believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with proceedings or claims in excess of the amounts recorded would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial conditions or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.
We are involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites. The timing and duration of remediation and ongoing compliance activities are determined on a site by site basis depending on local regulations. The liabilities recorded represent our estimable future remediation costs and other anticipated environmental liabilities. We have not recorded liabilities at sites where a liability is probable, but that a range of loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with environmental remediation matters in excess of the amounts recorded would likely occur over a period of time and would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.

(9) INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020
Effective Tax Rate 23.0 % 56.4 %
The Company's effective tax rate for the periods reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable primarily due to the intra-entity asset transfers of certain of its intellectual property and the impacts of certain ongoing tax audits, which occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and are discussed below.
On January 1, 2020, we completed an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights (the “IP”) to our Swiss subsidiary, where our EMEA regional headquarters is located. The transfer of the IP did not result in a taxable gain; however, it did result in step-up of the Swiss tax-deductible basis in the transferred assets and, accordingly, created a temporary difference between the book basis and the tax basis of the IP, which was transferred at fair value. We applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the IP, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset. Consequently, this transaction resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset at the applicable Swiss tax rate, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $ 50.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company expects to be able to realize the deferred tax assets resulting from these intra-entity asset transfers.

In connection with the income tax audit in Germany for the tax period 2010-2013, the Germany Tax Authority (“GTA”) indicated that it believed that certain positions taken on the 2010-2013 corporate income tax returns were not in compliance with German tax law. While the Company disagrees with the conclusions of the GTA based on the technical merits of our positions, after extensive discussions with the GTA and to avoid a potentially long and costly litigation process, in March 2020 the Company expressed a willingness to settle with the GTA on certain matters. The Company has reached a formal agreement with the GTA and is expecting to settle the final assessment in the coming months. The Company recorded a charge to income tax expense of $ 14.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company is also currently under audit in Germany for tax years 2014-2017 and is prepared to vigorously defend itself on these matters.
The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible it will settle up to $ 11.9 million, exclusive of interest and penalties, of its current unrecognized tax benefits within 2021 due to the conclusion of the 2010-2013 German income tax audit.
(10) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the hypothetical exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted shares and performance shares. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions, except per share data) 2021 2020 2021 2020
Net income (loss) to common shareholders $ 126.4 $ ( 82.8 ) $ 141.6 $ ( 30.6 )
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 232.5 235.2 233.2 235.1
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 233.5 235.2 234.1 235.1
Net income (loss) per common share:
Basic net income (loss) per share $ 0.54 $ ( 0.35 ) $ 0.61 $ ( 0.13 )
Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.54 $ ( 0.35 ) $ 0.60 $ ( 0.13 )
The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 0.6 million, 1.1 million, 4.6 million and 4.5 million, respectively.
(11) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses by applying historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, to respective aging categories. Management considers the following factors in developing its current estimate of expected credit losses: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, changes in market or regulatory matters, and changes in customer payment terms, including the ongoing impacts from COVID-19.

Revolving Credit Facility
During May 2021, we entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Tenth Amendment"), to among other things, increase commitments available pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility from $ 400.0 million to $ 550.0 million and extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility from 2024 to 2026, provided that such date will be accelerated in certain circumstances as set forth in the Tenth Amendment. As a result, we recorded $ 1.4 million of incremental deferred financing costs.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $ 34.0 million which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $ 516.0 million and $ 366.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(15) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values - Balances of equity securities are recorded within other assets, with any changes in fair value recorded within other income, net. The fair values of equity securities are based upon quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 inputs.
Long-term borrowings - The estimated fair values of these borrowings are based on recent trades, as reported by a third-party pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades, these inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments - The Company’s interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are included in the Level 2 hierarchy.
Fair value of contingent consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration associated with an acquisition completed in the current year is valued at each balance sheet date, until amounts become payable, with adjustments recorded within other operating (benefits) charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, in conjunction with the acquisition described in Note 3, we recorded fair value of contingent consideration of $ 7.3 million. The contingent consideration was valued using a probability-weighted expected payment method. The analysis considered the timing of expected future cash flows and the probability of key elements of the approval process are completed. Due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations, these liabilities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
We periodically enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce market risk and hedge our balance sheet exposures and cash flows for subsidiaries with exposures denominated in currencies different from the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These contracts have not been designated as hedges and all gains and losses are marked to market through other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(16) SEGMENTS
The Company identifies an operating segment as a component: (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) that has available discrete financial information.
We have two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Performance Coatings and Mobility Coatings. Previously named Transportation Coatings, our Mobility Coatings segment was renamed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 with no changes to the underlying business or segment structure. The CODM reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance for each operating segment. Our CODM is identified as the Chief Executive Officer because he has final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. Our segments are based on the type and concentration of customers served, service requirements, methods of distribution and major product lines.
Through our Performance Coatings segment, we provide high-quality liquid and powder coatings solutions to a fragmented and local customer base. We are one of only a few suppliers with the technology to provide precise color matching and highly durable coatings systems. The end-markets within this segment are refinish and industrial.
Through our Mobility Coatings segment, we provide advanced coating technologies to OEMs of light and commercial vehicles. These increasingly global customers require a high level of technical support coupled with cost-effective, environmentally responsible coatings systems that can be applied with a high degree of precision, consistency and speed. The end-markets within this segment are light vehicle and commercial vehicle.
Adjusted EBIT is the primary measure to evaluate financial performance of the operating segments and allocate resources. Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting. Therefore, the Company has not disclosed asset information for each reportable segment. The following table presents relevant information of our reportable segments.

(1) The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBIT, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBIT is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance, which represents Adjusted EBIT adjusted for the select items referred to above.
(2)
Does not represent Axalta’s Adjusted EBIT referenced elsewhere by the Company as there are additional adjustments that are not allocated to the segments.
(a) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the prepayment, restructuring, and refinancing of our indebtedness, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(b) Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits and other employee-related costs. Employee termination benefits are primarily associated with Axalta Way initiatives. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(c)
Represents costs for legal, tax and other advisory fees pertaining to our review of strategic alternatives that was concluded in March 2020, as well as retention awards for certain employees which will be earned over a period of 18 - 24 months, ending September 2021. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance.
(d) Represents acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(e) Represents impairment charges, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance.
(f) Represents certain defined benefit pension costs associated with special events, including pension curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(g) Represents incremental depreciation expense resulting from truncated useful lives of the assets impacted by our manufacturing footprint assessments, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(h) Represents indemnity income associated with acquisitions, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(i) Represents expenses, changes in estimates and insurance recoveries for probable liabilities related to an operational matter in the Mobility Coatings segment discussed further in Note 5, which is not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

OVERVIEW
We are a leading global manufacturer, marketer and distributor of high performance coatings systems and products. We have over a 150-year heritage in the coatings industry and are known for manufacturing high-quality products with well-recognized brands supported by market-leading technology and customer service. Our diverse global footprint of 47 manufacturing facilities, four technology centers, 50 customer training centers and approximately 13,000 people allows us to meet the needs of customers in over 130 countries. We serve our customer base through an extensive sales force and technical support organization, as well as through approximately 4,000 independent, locally based distributors.
We operate our business in two operating segments, Performance Coatings and Mobility Coatings. Previously named Transportation Coatings, our Mobility Coatings segment was renamed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 with no changes to the underlying business or segment structure. Our segments are based on the type and concentration of customers served, service requirements, methods of distribution and major product lines.
Through our Performance Coatings segment, we provide high-quality liquid and powder coatings solutions to a fragmented and local customer base. We are one of only a few suppliers with the technology to provide precise color matching and highly durable coatings systems. The end-markets within this segment are refinish and industrial.
Through our Mobility Coatings segment, we provide advanced coating technologies to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") of light and commercial vehicles. These increasingly global customers require a high level of technical support coupled with cost-effective, environmentally responsible, coatings systems that can be applied with a high degree of precision, consistency and speed. The end-markets within this segment are light vehicle and commercial vehicle.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
General Business Highlights
Our net sales increased 33.9%, including a 4.1% benefit from foreign currency translation, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increased sales were primarily driven by higher volumes of 25.9% as a result of demand recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 as well as slightly higher average selling price and product mix of 3.9%. The following trends have impacted our segment and end-market net sales performance:
• Performance Coatings: Net sales increased 33.9%, including a 4.7% benefit from foreign currency translation, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increased sales were primarily driven by higher volumes of 23.9% as a result of demand recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 and higher average selling prices and product mix of 5.3%. The favorable foreign currency translation is driven primarily by fluctuations of the Euro and Chinese Renminbi compared to the U.S. Dollar.
• Mobility Coatings: Net sales increased 33.7%, including a 2.5% benefit from foreign currency translation, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increased sales were primarily due to higher volumes of 30.5% as a result of demand recovery from the impacts of COVID-19. The favorable foreign currency translation is driven primarily by fluctuations of the Euro and Chinese Renminbi compared to the U.S. Dollar.
Our business serves four end-markets globally with net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, as follows:

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company continued its recovery, which began in the second half of 2020, from the significant adverse impact on the demand for our products and, thus, our income from operations, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020. While we have continued to see sequential improvements quarter over quarter, we remain cognizant of the potential impacts of new variants, shutdowns or restrictions put in place on our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We continue to actively monitor and manage supply chain challenges, including logistics, but, thus far, there have been no significant disruptions caused by COVID-19. Our supply chain team is coordinating with our suppliers to identify and mitigate potential areas of risk and manage inventories. Our business continues to be impacted in certain regions and end-markets as a result of government restrictions which were in place for parts of the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and we will continue to monitor impacts.
Supply-chain shortages, semiconductor shortages and raw material inflation
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company was impacted by supply chain shortages as a result of severe weather in the U.S., semiconductor chip shortages impacting Light Vehicle production globally and inflation of raw material costs. We anticipate these conditions to continue to impact our results through the second half of 2021. We will continue to monitor these situations and mitigate potential areas of risk and manage inventories.
Capital and Liquidity Highlights
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid cash consideration of $37.6 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired. During July 2021, we announced another acquisition, which is discussed further in Note 18 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

25
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 4.2 million shares for total consideration of $123.6 million as we continue to execute against our previously approved share repurchase program. In April 2021, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in our common share repurchase program of $625.0 million, bringing the size of the program, initially announced in March 2017, to a total of $1.3 billion, of which we have already repurchased $562.5 million through June 30, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, in connection with the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Tenth Amendment") discussed within Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we increased the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility from $400.0 million to $550.0 million and extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility from 2024 to 2026, provided that such date will be accelerated in certain circumstances as set forth in the Tenth Amendment.
FACTORS AFFECTING OUR OPERATING RESULTS
There have been no changes in the factors affecting our operating results previously reported in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
At June 30, 2021, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $516.0 million, net of $34.0 million of letters of credit outstanding. All such availability may be utilized without violating any covenants under the credit agreement governing such facility or the indentures governing the Senior Notes. At June 30, 2021, we had $12.6 million of outstanding borrowings under other lines of credit. Our remaining available borrowing capacity under other lines of credit in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions totaled $8.9 million.
We, or our affiliates, at any time and from time to time, may purchase shares of our common stock, the Senior Notes, prepay our Term Loans or other indebtedness. Any such purchases of our common stock or Senior Notes may be made through the open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more redemption, tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration, as we, or any of our affiliates, may determine.

Six months ended June 30, 2021
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $147.1 million. Net income before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated cash of $326.4 million. This was offset by net uses of working capital of $179.3 million, for which the most significant drivers were increases in accounts and notes receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses and other assets of $154.2 million, $59.1 million, and $53.4 million, respectively. These outflows were primarily driven by timing of collections, inflation of raw material costs and building inventory to pre-COVID-19 levels to align with returning demand. The outflows were partially offset by increases in accounts payable of $60.0 million due to increased production and inflation of raw material costs and other accruals of $24.5 million primarily due to accruals related to the operational matter within the Mobility Coatings segment, which is discussed further in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $91.3 million. The primary uses were for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $60.3 million and $37.6 million for a business acquisition during April 2021, which is discussed further in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Net Cash Used for Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $169.9 million. The primary uses were for the purchase of common stock totaling $123.7 million and payments of $55.3 million on borrowings.
Other Impacts on Cash
Currency exchange impacts on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were unfavorable by $8.4 million, which was driven primarily by fluctuations in the Euro compared to the U.S. Dollar.

35
Six months ended June 30, 2020
Net Cash Used for Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.5 million. Net income before deducting depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items generated cash of $95.9 million. This was offset by net uses of working capital of $98.4 million, for which the most significant drivers were decreases in accounts payable of $131.0 million, other accrued liabilities of $87.9 million and increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $60.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. These outflows were primarily related to the timing of cash payments for employee related benefits, customer incentive payments, payments related to normal seasonal operating activities and decreased business activity associated with the COVID-19 downturn. Partially offsetting these outflows were decreases in receivables of $136.8 million and inventory of $32.5 million.
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $34.3 million. The primary use was for purchases of property, plant and equipment of $42.4 million partially offset by interest proceeds on swaps designated as net investment hedges of $7.3 million.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $159.1 million. This change was driven primarily by cash proceeds of $500.0 million from the issuance of our 2027 Senior Notes, partially offset by the voluntary prepayment of $300.0 million of the outstanding principal on the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Offsetting the inflows were routine repayments of $31.7 million on short-term and long-term borrowings, payments of financing related costs of $6.0 million and purchases of noncontrolling interests of $1.6 million.
Other Impacts on Cash
Currency exchange impacts on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were unfavorable by $16.3 million, which was driven primarily by weakening of the British Pound, Mexican Peso, South African Rand, Brazilian Real and Russian Ruble compared to the U.S. Dollar.
Financial Condition
We had cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $1,230.9 million and $1,360.9 million, respectively. Of these balances, $624.3 million and $761.7 million were maintained in non-U.S. jurisdictions as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We believe our organizational structure allows us the necessary flexibility to move funds throughout our subsidiaries to meet our operational working capital needs.
Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs, including planned capital expenditures. In such circumstances, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling assets, seeking additional equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Based on our forecasts, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and existing lines of credit will be adequate to service debt, fund our cost saving initiatives, meet liquidity needs and fund necessary capital expenditures for the next twelve months.
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal or interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness or to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other current obligations will depend on our ability to generate cash from operations. Such cash generation is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including the effects of COVID-19.
If required, our ability to raise additional financing and our borrowing costs may be impacted by short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent rating agencies, which are based, in significant part, on our performance as measured by certain credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. Our highly leveraged nature may limit our ability to procure additional financing in the future.

The following table details our borrowings outstanding at the periods indicated:
(In millions) June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
2024 Dollar Term Loans $ 2,051.0 $ 2,063.2
2025 Euro Senior Notes 535.8 552.1
2027 Dollar Senior Notes 500.0 500.0
2029 Dollar Senior Notes 700.0 700.0
Short-term and other borrowings 103.0 118.0
Unamortized original issue discount (5.5) (6.3)
Unamortized deferred financing costs (30.4) (34.3)
Total borrowings, net 3,853.9 3,892.7
Less:
Short-term borrowings 16.2 29.9
Current portion of long-term borrowings 24.3 24.3
Long-term debt $ 3,813.4 $ 3,838.5
Our indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes, is more fully described in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
We believe that we continue to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet our requirements, including our leverage and associated interest as well as our working capital needs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, increase the commitments available pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility from $400.0 million to $550.0 million and extend the maturity from 2024 to 2026, provided that such date will be accelerated in certain circumstances as set forth in the Tenth Amendment. As a result, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $516.0 million and $366.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, all of which may be borrowed by us without violating any covenants under the Credit Agreement governing such facility or the indentures governing the Senior Notes.
Contractual Obligations
Information related to our contractual obligations can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in the Company's contractual obligations since December 31, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
See Note 5 "Commitments and Contingencies" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for disclosure of our guarantees of certain customers’ obligations to third parties.
Recent Accounting Guidance
See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of recent accounting guidance.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that can have a significant impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require the use of complex and subjective estimates based upon past experience and management’s judgment. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The policies applied in preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are those that management believes are the most dependent on estimates and assumptions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates as well as a listing of our significant accounting policies, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
