Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
Note A. Organization, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Orion S.A.’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Orion S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Orion” or the “Company”). The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. These statements contain some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes —In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU:
• Establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements.
• Requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation.
• Requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s information on income taxes paid.
• Requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold.
• Is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.
We believe, the adoption of this ASU will not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, however will require additional disclosures in future Annual Reports.
Segment —In November 2023, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment . This ASU:
• Introduces a new requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”),
• Extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods,
• Permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and
• Requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. However, but does not change how the CODM is identified.
• This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.
We believe, the adoption of this ASU will not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, however will require additional segment disclosures in future periods .

As of September 30, 2024, borrowings under the RCF were $ 28.0 million. There were no borrowings under the RCF as of December 31, 2023. We classify amounts outstanding under the RCF as current in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the borrowings are for short-term working capital needs, typically for one-month periods, and based on management’s intention to repay the amounts outstanding within one year from the date of drawing.

Repurchase Agreement —On August 23, 2024, we entered into a repurchase agreement to sell European Emission Allowance (“EUA”) certificates. Under the agreement, we sold 500 thousand EUA certificates for € 35.1 million cash to a counterparty. The same counterparty has an obligation to resell, and we have the obligation to purchase, the same or substantially the same EUA certificates on June 25, 2025 for € 36.5 million. The difference between the consideration received and the amount of consideration to be paid will be recognized as interest expense. At September 30, 2024, the amount outstanding, including accrued interest, was $ 39.3 million. Due to the short maturity, the carrying value approximates the fair value.
As of September 30, 2024, we are in compliance with our debt covenants.
For additional information relating to our debt, see “ Note J. Debt and Other Obligations” , included in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Note E. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement
Risk management
We have policies governing the use of derivative instruments and do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
By using derivative instruments, we are subject to credit and market risk. To minimize counterparty credit (or repayment) risk, we enter into transactions primarily with investment grade financial institutions. The market risk exposure is not hedged in a manner to completely eliminate the effects of changing market conditions on earnings or cash flow.
In July 2024 our interest rate swap expired and was not renewed. There were no material transactions recorded as a result of the expiration.
No significant concentration of credit risk existed as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Cross currency swaps $ 197.0 $ 25.6 $ 197.0 $ 31.3 Other financial assets (non-current)
Interest rate swaps — — 303.9 4.6 Other financial assets (non-current)
Total $ 197.0 $ 25.6 $ 500.9 $ 35.9
All financial instruments in the table above are classified as Level 2. We present the gross assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For financial assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers of assets measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 and there were no Level 3 investments during 2024 or 2023.
The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented. Short-term and Long-term debt are recorded at amortized cost in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total $ 685.7 $ 686.0 $ 683.5 $ 674.1
The Term-Loan and China Term-Loan in the table above are classified as Level 2.
At both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of our variable rate debt approximate the fair values due to variable interest rates with short reset periods.

Note H. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing Net income (loss) attributable to Orion by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS equals Net income (loss) attributable to Orion divided by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of our stock–based and other equity compensation awards.
The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:

Note I. Income Taxes
The Company records its tax provision or benefit on an interim basis using an estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is applied to the current period ordinary income to determine the income tax provision or benefit allocated to the interim period. Losses from jurisdictions for which no benefit can be recognized and the income tax effects of unusual and infrequent items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and are recognized in the impacted interim period as discrete items. Valuation allowances are provided against any future tax benefits that arise from losses in jurisdictions for which no benefit can be recognized. The estimated annual effective tax rate may be significantly impacted by nondeductible expenses and by the Company’s projected earnings mix by tax jurisdiction. Adjustments to the estimated annual effective income tax rate are recognized in the period when such estimates are revised.
The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $ 10.8 million compared to income tax expense of $ 8.9 million

Orion S.A
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 11.8 million and $ 45.0 million, respectively.
Our effective income tax rates were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Effective income tax rates 34.6 % 25.4 % 30.8 % 31.4 %
The change in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax income mix in countries with varying statutory tax rates.
The 2024 effective tax rate was further impacted by $ 18.2 million of tax benefit related to Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net. For further discussion refer to Note J. Commitments and Contingencies in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note J. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments— In the second quarter of 2024, we invested in Alpha Carbone (“AC”), a French tire recycling company. This partnership will enable AC to produce commercial volumes of tire pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black. In addition, we entered in a long-term supply agreement for the tire pyrolysis oil produced by AC. The tire pyrolysis oil will be used to manufacture circular carbon black for tire and rubber goods customers.
We invested approximately $ 0.3 million (€ 0.3 million) in shares of AC and $ 1.9 million (€ 1.7 million) in a convertible bond. We agreed to contribute an additional $ 5.6 million (€ 5.0 million) in convertible bonds to be paid in 10 installments through 2025.
Legal Proceedings— We are subject to various lawsuits and claims including, but not limited to, matters involving contract disputes, environmental damages, personal injury and property damage. We vigorously defend ourselves and prosecute these matters as appropriate. We regularly assess the adequacy of legal accruals based on our professional judgment, experience and the information available regarding our cases.
The outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, and we offer no assurances as to the outcome of any of these matters or their effect on the Company.
Based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against us will have a material adverse effect upon our operations, financial condition or the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net —On August 10, 2024, the Company determined that a Company employee, who is not a Named Executive Officer, was the target of a criminal scheme that resulted in multiple fraudulently induced outbound wire transfers to accounts controlled by unknown third parties. As a result of this incident, we recognized a one-time pre-tax charge of approximately $ 59.2 million for the unrecovered fraudulently induced wire transfers. The Company has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, with law enforcement as appropriate and is pursuing recovery of these funds through all legally available means, including potentially available insurance coverage. The incident did not result in any unauthorized access to data or systems maintained by the Company. The business and operations of the Company were not affected. In addition, we incurred $ 1.5 million of professional fees in connection with our investigations. Together, the amount of $ 60.7 million is reported in Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We recognized $ 18.2 million of tax benefit related to Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net.
Pledges and guarantees
The Company has pledged the majority of its assets (amongst others shares in affiliates, bank accounts and receivables) within the different regions in which it operates excluding China as collateral under its debt agreements. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had guarantees totaling $ 31.6 million issued by various financial institutions.

Note K. Financial Information by Segment
Segment information
We disclose the results of each of our operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting . We manage our business in two operating segments as follows:
• Rubber Carbon Black —Used in the reinforcement of rubber in tires and mechanical rubber goods, and
• Specialty Carbon Black —Used for protection, colorization and conductivity in coatings, polymers, batteries, printing and other special applications.
Corporate includes income and expenses that cannot be directly allocated to the business segments or that are managed at the corporate level. This includes finance income and expenses, taxes and items with less bearing on the underlying core business.
Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and the CODM uses operating results of each operating segment for performance evaluation and resource allocation.
Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure for reviewing our segment profitability. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as restructuring expenses, legal settlements gains, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax.
The CODM does not review reportable segment asset or liability information for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations and financial condition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the information included under Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Unaudited ) elsewhere in this report. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or the accounting standards of any other jurisdiction and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures, see section Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Working Capital and Capital Expenditures.
We define:
• Adjusted EBITDA —Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as, restructuring expenses, legal settlement gain, net loss due to assets misappropriation, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax.
• Net Working Capital —Inventories, net plus Accounts receivable, net minus Accounts payable.
• Capital Expenditures —Cash paid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
Adjusted EBITDA is used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate our operating performance and to make decisions regarding allocation of capital, because it excludes the effects of items that have less bearing on the performance of our underlying core business. We use this measure, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing our business. We believe these measures are useful measures of financial performance in addition to Net income, Income from operations and other profitability measures under GAAP, because they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures and taxation positions or regimes, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful additional basis for evaluating and comparing the current performance of the underlying operations. In addition, we believe these non-GAAP measures aid investors by providing additional insight into our operational performance and help clarify trends affecting our business.
However, other companies and analysts may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, so making comparisons among companies on this basis should be done carefully. Non-GAAP measures are not performance measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for Net sales, Net income, Income from operations, Gross profit and other GAAP measures as an indicator of our operations in accordance with GAAP.

Operating Results Discussion
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to three months ended September 30, 2023
Net sales
Volume for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased in aggregate by 20.0 kmt to 225.2 kmt, year over year, due to lower volume in the Americas and Asia Pacific (“APAC”) regions, those were partially offset by higher volumes in Europe, the Middle East, and African region.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $2.8 million, or 0.6%, to $463.4 million, year over year, primarily driven by lower volume, partially offset by the favorable pass-through effect of oil prices.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $0.1 million year over year.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $2.7 million, or 2.5%, to $107.5 million, year over year. The decrease was driven primarily by higher fixed costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $2.3 million, or 4.1% to $57.9 million, year over year, driven by higher personnel costs.
Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net
During the third quarter of 2024, we were the target of a criminal scheme that resulted in multiple fraudulently induced outbound wire transfers to accounts controlled by unknown third parties aggregating to $59.2 million. In addition, we incurred $1.5 million of professional

Provision for income taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized Loss before earnings in affiliated companies and income taxes of $31.2 million, compared to Income before earnings in affiliated companies and income taxes of $35.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $10.8 million compared to income tax expense of $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was 34.6% and 25.4%, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax income mix in countries with varying statutory tax rates.
The 2024 effective tax rate was impacted by $18.2 million of tax benefit related to Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net. For further discussion refer to Note J. Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adjusted EBITDA (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
Adjusted EBITDA increased in the third quarter of 2024 by $2.8 million, or 3.6%, to $80.1 million, year over year.
The increase was driven by favorable pricing, partially offset by higher fixed costs and lower cogeneration.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income (loss) decreased in the third quarter of 2024 by $45.8 million to $20.1 million, year over year. The components of Comprehensive income (loss) are discussed below:
Net income (loss) decreased by $46.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023.
The activities from the components of Other Comprehensive income are discussed below:
• $3.0 million of net favorable impact due to change in foreign currency translation adjustments and
• $1.7 million of net favorable impact related to changes in defined pension and other post-retirement benefits, partially offset by,
• $4.1 million of net unfavorable impact related to financial derivative instruments primarily driven by net periodic changes in cross currency swaps.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Net sales
Volume increased marginally by 0.7 kmt to 706.7 kmt compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher Specialty Carbon Black segment volume, partially offset by lower Rubber Carbon Black segment volume.
Net sales increased by $17.6 million, or 1.2%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $1,443.3 million, year over year, primarily driven by broad-based recovery in Specialty Carbon Black segment across all regions and Rubber Carbon Black price improvements, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation impact and lower Rubber Carbon Black segment volume.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased by $41.8 million, or 3.9%, to $1,103.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher Specialty Carbon Black segment volume, its associated costs and higher fixed costs.
Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by $24.2 million, or 6.7%, to $339.5 million, year over year. The decrease was primarily driven by higher fixed costs, unfavorable impact from pass-through of raw material costs and lower cogeneration.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $11.4 million, or 6.8%, to $179.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher freight and personnel costs.

Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net
During the third quarter of 2024, we were the target of a criminal scheme that resulted in multiple fraudulently induced outbound wire transfers to accounts controlled by unknown third parties aggregating to $59.2 million. In addition, we incurred $1.5 million of professional fees in connection with our investigations. For more information, refer to Note J. Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Provision for income taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized Income before earnings in affiliated companies and income taxes of $38.3 million, compared to $143.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The provision for income taxes was an expense of $11.8 million and $45.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was 30.8%, as compared to 31.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax income mix in countries with varying statutory tax rates.
The 2024 effective tax rate was impacted by $18.2 million of tax benefit related to Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net. For further discussion refer to Note J. Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adjusted EBITDA (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $25.2 million, or 9.5%, from $265.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $240.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to higher fixed costs, lower Rubber Carbon Black segment volume and lower cogeneration. Those were partially offset by higher volume in Specialty Carbon Black segment.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income decreased by $69.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net income decreased by $71.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The activities from the components of Other Comprehensive income are discussed below:
• $0.8 million of net favorable impact due to foreign currency translation adjustments and
• $4.8 million of net favorable changes related to defined pension and other post-retirement benefits, partially offset by
• $3.6 million of net unfavorable impacts related to financial derivative instruments primarily driven by net periodic changes in cross currency and interest rate swaps.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Cash Flows
The tables below present our historical cash flows derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated.
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023
(In millions, except volume)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 30.8 $ 273.7
Net cash used in investing activities (135.7) (111.0)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 119.3 (164.9)
2024
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $30.8 million. The cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects changes in working capital, $59.2 million Loss due to misappropriation of assets, net and professional fees of $1.5 million. Change in working capital includes $323.1 million sale of certain accounts receivables, discussed in Note B. Accounts Receivable to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $135.7 million. The expenditures were primarily related to safety, maintenance and growth investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $119.3 million. These inflows primarily consisted of $68.7 million related to other short-term debt borrowings and $75.1 million, net borrowings under our ancillary credit facilities. Those were partially offset by scheduled debt repayments, dividend distributions and stock buybacks.
2023
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $273.7 million. The cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects changes in working capital and higher Net income. Change in working capital includes $300.4 million sale of certain accounts receivables, discussed in Note B. Accounts Receivable to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $111.0 million. These expenditures were composed of a combination of safety, maintenance-related and growth investments, as well as $26.5 million of expenditures associated with our, now completed, installation of emissions reduction technology to meet EPA requirements in the U.S.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $164.9 million. These outflows primarily consisted of $88.7 million related to the reduction of other short-term debt, $58.9 million for repurchase of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program and $23.7 million, net related to repayment of our ancillary credit facilities.
Sources of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity are the net cash generated (i) from operating activities, primarily driven by our operating results and changes in working capital requirements and (ii) from financing activities, primarily driven by borrowing amounts available under our committed multicurrency, senior secured revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) and related ancillary facilities, various uncommitted local credit lines, and, from time to time, term loan borrowings and Accounts receivable factoring.
During the third quarter of 2024, we were target of a criminal scheme that resulted in multiple fraudulently induced outbound wire transfers to accounts controlled by unknown third parties aggregating to $59.2 million. The business and operations of the Company were not affected. However, our Net leverage was negatively impacted.
We believe our anticipated future operating cash flows, the capacity under our existing credit facilities and uncommitted bilateral lines of credit, along with access to surety bonds, will be sufficient to finance our planned Capital expenditures, settle our commitments and contingencies and address our normal anticipated working capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Orion S.A.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
As of September 30, 2024, the company had total liquidity of $209.4 million, including cash and equivalents of $53.2 million, $116.6 million availability under our revolving credit facility, including ancillary lines, and $39.6 million of capacity under other available credit lines.
Net working capital (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
We define Net working capital as the sum total of current Accounts receivable, net and Inventories, net less Accounts payable. Net working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and other companies may use a similarly titled financial measure that is calculated differently from the way we calculate Net working capital. The following table sets forth the principal components of our Net working capital as of the dates indicated.
September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
(In millions, except volume)
Accounts receivable, net $ 267.9 $ 241.0
Inventories, net 306.7 287.1
Accounts payable (174.7) (183.7)
Net working capital $ 399.9 $ 344.4
Our Net working capital position can vary significantly from month to month, mainly due to fluctuations in oil prices and receipts of carbon black oil shipments. In general, increases in the cost of raw materials lead to an increase in our Net working capital requirements, as our inventories and trade receivables increase as a result of higher carbon black oil prices and related sales levels. These increases are partially offset by related increases in trade payables. Due to the quantity of carbon black oil that we typically keep in stock, such increases in Net working capital occur gradually over a period of two to three months. Conversely, decreases in the cost of raw materials lead to a decrease in our Net working capital requirements over the same period of time.
Our Net working capital increased from $344.4 million as of December 31, 2023, to $399.9 million as of September 30, 2024. The primary working capital change drivers, year over year, were as follows:
• Inventories, net —Increase in production to meet forecasted demand resulted in increased raw material and finished goods inventory; and
• Accounts receivable, net —This increase was primarily driven by higher sales, partially offset by factoring of certain accounts receivables. Refer Note B. Accounts Receivable for discussion.
Those increases were partially offset by:
• Accounts payable —Decrease in accounts payable was primarily due to timing of payments, partially offset by higher production.
Capital expenditures (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
We define Capital expenditures as cash paid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. We plan to finance our Capital expenditures with cash generated by our operating activities and/or by utilizing existing debt capacity. We currently do not have any material commitments to make Capital expenditures and do not plan to make Capital expenditures outside the ordinary course of our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, as a result of new information, future events or other information, other than as required by applicable law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Information about market risks for the period ended September 30, 2024 does not differ materially from “ Item 7A” in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of that date. Notwithstanding this material weakness, our management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. To make that assertion our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors engaged a third-party to perform an investigation into the matter described below to identify the nature, timing and extent of the matter.
New Orion Logo2.jpg 26
Orion S.A.
Other than as reported in this Item 4, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We determined a material weakness exists over our control over manual wire transfers. Specifically, although we believe our internal controls, as designed, were adequate to prevent or detect unauthorized wire transfers, the control did not operate effectively to safeguard the Company’s assets.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Controls
To address the identified material weakness, management implemented the following remedial measures:
• In the third quarter of 2024, we:
▪ implemented additional processes and controls over the cash disbursement process, and
▪ enhanced management’s quarterly sub-certifications related to the cash disbursement process and increasing the certifiers’ awareness of its financial reporting implications.
• In the future, we:
• are improving our training of employees on appropriate cash disbursement practices and procedures, and
• will continue to promote ethical conduct, timely escalation of concerns and communication with employees.
We will continue to assess whether additional control enhancements are necessary. We are actively working to implement effective internal control over financial reporting, which includes implementing these steps to remediate the material weakness. We believe these actions will effectively remediate our internal control over financial reporting and enhance our disclosure controls and procedures. The reliability of internal control processes requires repeatable execution and the identified material weakness will be considered fully remediated when these internal control enhancements have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weakness has been successfully remediated. However, such remediation is not guaranteed, and we cannot provide any assurance that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We become involved from time to time in various claims and lawsuits arising from special projects or in the ordinary course of our business, such as employment related claims or asbestos litigation. Some matters involve claims for large amounts of damages as well as other relief. We believe, based on currently available information, that the results of the proceedings we are subject to, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but may be material to our operating results and cash flows for any particular period when the relevant costs are incurred. We note that the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, and we offer no assurances as to the outcome of any of these matters or their effect on the Company.
Information regarding our litigation and legal proceedings can be found in Note J. Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated into this Item 1 by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in “Item A. Risk Factors ” in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
On May 5, 2023, our Board of Directors approved stock repurchase program with authorization to management to purchase up to approximately 6.9 million shares of our outstanding common stock from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions or other transactions, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 and or Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, at any time through June 2027 (“6.9 million of Common Stock Repurchase Program”).
The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may yet be purchased under the program is not necessarily an indication of the number of shares that will ultimately be purchased. The authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate us to acquire any specific amount of common stock.
