Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measures

The Company has valued its company-owned life insurance policies at fair value. These assets are subject to fair value measurement as follows:


			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022
	Total Fair Value		Using Fair Value Hierarchy
Assets			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Company-owned life insurance	$	2,114	$	—	$	2,114	$	—
Total	$	2,114	$	—	$	2,114	$	—


			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2021
	Total Fair Value		Using Fair Value Hierarchy
Assets			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Company-owned life insurance	$	2,533	$	—	$	2,533	$	—
Total	$	2,533	$	—	$	2,533	$	—

The fair values of Company-owned life insurance assets are based on quotes for like instruments with similar credit ratings and terms. The Company did not hold any Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2022 or 2021, respectively.

Items Measured at Fair Value on Nonrecurring Basis In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is also required to measure certain items at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company recorded non-cash impairment charges on goodwill and trademarks of $93.0 million and $38.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020, respectively. The determination of the estimated fair values requires Management’s judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, the WACC, royalty rates, asset lives and market multiples, among other items. For non-observable market values, the Company determines fair value using acceptable valuation principles, including the excess earnings, relief from royalty, lost profit or cost methods. Significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair values of the EMEA reporting unit as of December 31, 2022 included a WACC of 12.0%. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock Options

Stock option activity under all plans is as follows:


	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price (per option)		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding as of January 1, 2022	109,684	$	165.47
Options granted	31,914	222.82
Options exercised	(11,801)	133.10
Options forfeited	(10,315)	172.41
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2022	119,482	$	183.39	4.7	$	(373)

Options exercisable as of December 31, 2022	65,237	$	159.93	3.9	$	455

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $0.8 million, $2.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the current market price of the underlying security and the strike price of a related option.

A summary of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2022 is as follows:


Range of Exercise Prices					Number of Options Outstanding	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Weighted Average Exercise Price (per option)	Number of Options Exercisable	Weighted Average Exercise Price (per option)
$	120.01	-	$	150.00	40,781	4.5	137.28	23,262	136.64
$	150.01	-	$	180.00	56,834	4.6	164.63	33,833	155.35
$	220.01	-	$	250.00	21,867	5.2	245.10	8,142	245.49
					119,482	4.7	183.39	65,237	159.93

As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to options granted during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

The Company granted stock options under its LTIP plan that are subject only to time vesting generally over a three year period during 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019. For the purposes of determining the fair value of stock option awards, the Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model and primarily used the assumptions set forth in the table below:


	July 2022 Grant		March 2022 Grant		2021		2020		2019
Number of stock options granted	4,837		27,077		25,250		49,115		51,610
Dividend yield	0.79	%	0.80	%	0.85	%	0.99	%	1.12	%
Expected volatility	40.47	%	38.60	%	37.33	%	31.57	%	26.29	%
Risk-free interest rate	2.87	%	2.07	%	0.60	%	0.36	%	1.52	%
Expected term (years)	4.0		4.0		4.0		4.0		4.0

The fair value of these options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period of each award. The compensation expense recorded on each award during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is as follows:


	2022		2021		2020
2022 Stock option awards	$	783	$	—	$	—
2021 Stock option awards	521		429		—
2020 Stock option awards	443		516		385
2019 Stock option awards	27		234		698
2018 Stock option awards	—		56		357

Restricted Stock Awards

Activity of non-vested restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s LTIP plan is shown below:


	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share)
Nonvested awards, December 31, 2021	68,693	$	179.26
Granted	54,433	166.07
Vested	(38,583)	175.80
Forfeited	(5,088)	184.64
Nonvested awards, December 31, 2022	79,455	$	171.61

The fair value of the non-vested stock is based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company adjusts the grant date fair value for expected forfeitures based on historical experience for similar awards. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was $7.4 million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.6 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Activity of non-vested restricted stock units granted under the Company’s LTIP plan is shown below:


	Number of Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (per unit)
Nonvested awards, December 31, 2021	10,977	$	170.82
Granted	10,703	169.29
Vested	(3,009)	158.09
Forfeited	(171)	190.37
Nonvested awards, December 31, 2022	18,500	$	171.83

The fair value of the non-vested restricted stock units is based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company adjusts the grant date fair value for expected forfeitures based on historical experience for similar awards. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was $1.7 million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.9 years.

Performance Stock Units

The Company grants performance-dependent stock awards (“PSUs”) as a component of its LTIP, which will be settled in a certain number of shares subject to market-based and time-based vesting conditions. The number of fully vested shares that may ultimately be issued as settlement for each award may range from 0% up to 200% of the target award, subject to the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the performance of the Company’s peer group, the S&P Midcap 400 Materials group. The service period required for the PSUs is three years and the TSR measurement period for the PSUs is generally from January 1 of the year of grant through December 31 of the year prior to issuances of the shares upon settlement.

Compensation expense for PSUs is measured based on their grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the three year vesting period. The grant-date fair value of the PSUs was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation on the grant date and using the following assumptions set forth in the table below:


	2022		CEO Grant 2021 (1)		2021		2020
Number of PSUs granted	18,462		3,775		12,103		18,485
Risk-free interest rate	2.11	%	0.65	%	0.29	%	0.28	%
Dividend yield	0.93	%	0.72	%	0.64	%	1.13	%
Expected term (years)	3.0		3.0		3.0		3.0

(1)On September 2, 2021, the Board appointed Andrew Tometich to serve as CEO and entered into an Employment Agreement, and granted an equity award consisting of a mix of time-based restricted stock and PSUs.

As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately $4.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Defined Contribution Plan

Beginning in April 2020 and continuing through March 2021, the Company matched both non-elective and elective 401(k) contributions in fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock rather than cash. There were no matching contributions in stock for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total contributions in stock were $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

2013 Director Stock Ownership Plan

In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Director Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”), to encourage the Directors to increase their investment in the Company, which was approved at the Company’s May 2013 shareholders’ meeting. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000 shares of Quaker common stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan in payment of all or a portion of the annual cash retainer payable to each of the Company’s non-employee directors in 2013 and subsequent years during the term of the Plan. Under the Plan, each director who, on May 1 of the applicable calendar year, owns less than 400% of the annual cash retainer for the applicable calendar year, divided by the average of the closing price of a share of Quaker Common Stock as reported by the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange for the previous calendar year (the “Threshold Amount”), is required to receive 75% of the annual cash retainer in Quaker common stock and 25% of the retainer in cash, unless the director elects to receive a greater percentage of Quaker common stock, up to 100% of the annual cash retainer for the applicable year. Each director who owns more than the Threshold Amount may elect to receive common stock in payment of a percentage (up to 100%) of the annual cash retainer. The annual retainer is $0.1 million and the retainer payment date is June 1.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted The FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting in March 2020. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021, which clarified the guidance, and ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Neither ASU materially changed the guidance or its applicability to the Company. The amendments provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential accounting and financial reporting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). ASU 2020-04 is effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. On June 17, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its primary credit facility, which, among other things, provided for the use of a USD currency LIBOR successor rate (the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”)). See Note 20 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Combinations	Business Combinations 2022 Acquisitions In October 2022, the Company acquired a business that provides pickling and rinsing products and services, which is part of the EMEA reportable segment, for approximately 3.5 million EUR or approximately $3.5 million. This acquisition, along with the Company’s January 2022 acquisition in the Americas reportable segment (described below), which had similar specializations and product offerings, strengthens Quaker Houghton’s position in pickling inhibitors and additives, enabling the Company to better support and optimize production processes for customers across the Metals industry. The Company allocated $2.8 million of the purchase price to intangible assets, comprised of $2.3 million of customer relationships to be amortized over 10 years; $0.2 million of existing product technologies to be amortized over 10 years; and $0.3 million of licensed trademarks to be amortized over 10 years. In addition, the Company recorded $0.8 million of goodwill related to expected value not allocated to other acquired assets. In January 2022, the Company acquired a business that provides pickling inhibitor technologies, drawing lubricants and stamping oil, and various other lubrication, rust preventative, and cleaner applications, which is part of the Americas reportable segment for approximately $8.0 million. This business broadens the Company’s product offerings within its existing metals and metalworking business in the Americas region. The Company allocated $5.6 million of the purchase price to intangible assets, comprised of $5.1 million of customer relationships to be amortized over 14 years; and $0.5 million of existing product technologies to be amortized over 14 years. In addition, the Company recorded $1.8 million of goodwill related to expected value not allocated to other acquired assets, all of which is expected to be tax deductible in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. During the third quarter of 2022 the Company finalized post-closing adjustments that resulted in the Company paying less than $0.1 million of additional purchase consideration. Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in goodwill included the acquisition of business processes and personnel that will allow Quaker Houghton to better serve its customers. In January 2022, the Company acquired a business related to the sealing and impregnation of metal castings for the automotive sector, as well as impregnation resin and impregnation systems for metal parts in Europe for approximately 1.2 million EUR or approximately $1.4 million. This business broadens its product offerings and service capabilities within its existing impregnation business. Other Previous Acquisitions In November 2021, the Company acquired Baron Industries (“Baron”), a privately held company that provides vacuum impregnation services of castings, powder metals and electrical components in the United States for $11.0 million, including an initial cash payment of $7.1 million, subject to post-closing adjustments as well as certain earn-out provisions that are payable at various times from 2022 through 2025. The earn-out provisions could total a maximum of $4.5 million. In September 2022, the Company paid $2.5 million related to certain of these earnout provisions. The Company recorded an incremental earn-out expense of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to these earnout provisions, recorded within the financial statement caption “Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has remaining earnout liabilities recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $1.6 million. The Company allocated $8.0 million of the purchase price to intangible assets, $1.1 million of property, plant and equipment and $1.5 million of other assets acquired net of liabilities assumed, which includes $0.3 million of cash acquired. In addition, the Company recorded $0.4 million of goodwill, none of which is expected to be tax deductible. Intangible assets comprised $7.2 million of customer relationships to be amortized over 15 years; and $0.8 million of existing product technology to be amortized over 13 years. Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in goodwill included the acquisition of business processes and personnel that will allow Quaker Houghton to better serve its customers. During the third quarter of 2022 the Company finalized post-closing adjustments that resulted in the Company receiving less than $0.1 million. In November 2021, the Company acquired a business that provides hydraulic fluids, coolants, cleaners, and rust preventative oils in Türkiye for its EMEA reportable segment for 3.2 million EUR or approximately $3.7 million. In September 2021, the Company acquired the remaining interest in Grindaix-GmbH (“Grindaix”), a Germany-based, high-tech provider of coolant control and delivery systems for its EMEA reportable segment for 2.4 million EUR or approximately $2.9 million, which is gross of approximately $0.3 million of cash acquired. Previously, in February 2021, the Company acquired a 38% ownership interest in Grindaix for 1.4 million EUR or approximately $1.7 million. The Company recorded its initial investment as an equity method investment within the Consolidated Financial Statements and accounted for the purchase of the remaining interest as a step acquisition whereby the Company remeasured the previously held equity method investment to its fair value. In June 2021, the Company acquired certain assets for its chemical milling maskants product line in Europe for 2.3 million EUR or approximately $2.8 million. In February 2021, the Company acquired a tin-plating solutions business for the steel end market for $25.0 million. This acquisition is part of each of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company allocated $19.6 million of the purchase price to intangible assets, comprised of $18.3 million of customer relationships, to be amortized over 19 years; $0.9 million of existing product technology to be amortized over 14 years; and $0.4 million of a licensed trademark to be amortized over 3 years. In addition, the Company recorded $5.0 million of goodwill, all of which is expected to be tax deductible in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in goodwill included the acquisition of business processes and personnel that will allow Quaker Houghton to better serve its customers. In December 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Coral Chemical Company (“Coral”), a privately held, U.S.-based provider of metal finishing fluid solutions. The acquisition provides technical expertise and product solutions for pre-treatment, metalworking and wastewater treatment applications to the beverage cans and general industrial end markets. The original purchase price was approximately $54.1 million, subject to routine and customary post-closing adjustments related to working capital and net indebtedness levels. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company and the sellers of Coral (the “Sellers”) have worked to finalize certain post-closing adjustments. During the second quarter of 2022, after failing to reach resolution, the Sellers filed suit asserting certain amounts owed related to tax attributes of the acquisition. Since the second quarter of 2022, there have been no material changes to the facts and circumstances of the claim asserted by the Sellers, and the Company continues to believe the potential range of exposure for this claim is $0 to $1.5 million. In May 2020, the Company acquired Tel Nordic ApS (“TEL”), a company that specializes in lubricants and engineering primarily in high pressure aluminum die casting for its EMEA reportable segment. Consideration paid was in the form of a convertible promissory note in the amount of 20.0 million DKK, or approximately $2.9 million, which was subsequently converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. An adjustment to the purchase price of approximately 0.4 million DKK, or less than $0.1 million, was made as a result of finalizing a post-closing settlement in the second quarter of 2020. The Company allocated approximately $2.4 million of the purchase price to intangible assets to be amortized over 17 years. In addition, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million of goodwill, related to expected value not allocated to other acquired assets, none of which will be tax deductible. In March 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 49% ownership interest in one of its South African affiliates, Quaker Chemical South Africa Limited (“QSA”) for 16.7 million ZAR, or approximately $1.0 million, from its joint venture partner PQ Holdings South Africa. QSA is a part of the Company’s EMEA reportable segment. As this acquisition was a change in an existing controlling ownership, the Company recorded $0.7 million of excess purchase price over the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest in Capital in excess of par value. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company finalized its post-closing adjustments for the Norman Hay plc (“Norman Hay”) acquisition and paid approximately 2.5 million GBP to settle post-closing adjustments. As of December 31, 2022, the allocation of the purchase price of each of the 2022 acquisitions has not been finalized and the one year measurement period has not ended for any of these acquisitions. Further adjustments may be necessary as a result of the Company’s on-going assessment of additional information related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As of December 31, 2022, the allocation of the purchase price for all other previous acquisitions was finalized and the one year measurement period ended. The results of operations of each acquisition subsequent to the respective acquisition dates are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Applicable transaction expenses associated with these acquisitions are included in Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain pro forma and other information is not presented, as the operations of the acquired assets and businesses are not considered material to the overall operations of the Company for the periods presented.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, “Other” consisted principally of cash and cash equivalents, and investments in real estate funds.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, where applicable:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds and are classified as Level 1 investments.

Commingled Funds

Investments in the U.S. pooled separate accounts consist primarily of mutual funds, each of which follows a separate investment strategy, and are valued based on the reported unit value at year end. Foreign pension plan commingled funds represent pooled institutional investments, including primarily collective investment trusts. These commingled funds are not available on an exchange or in an active market and these investments are valued using their net asset value (“NAV”), which is generally based on the underlying asset values of the investments held in the trusts. As of December 31, 2022, the foreign pension plan commingled funds included approximately 34 percent of investments in equity securities, 50 percent of investments in fixed income securities, and 16 percent of other non-related investments, primarily real estate. As of December 31, 2021, the foreign pension plan commingled funds included approximately 35 percent of investments in equity securities, 51 percent of investments in fixed income securities, and 14 percent of other non-related investments, primarily real estate.

Pooled Separate Accounts

Investments in the U.S. pension plan pooled separate accounts consist of annuity contracts and are valued based on the reported unit value at year end. Units of the pooled separate account are not traded on an exchange or in an active market; however, valuation is based on the underlying investments of each pooled separate account and are classified as Level 2 investments. As of December 31, 2022, the U.S. pension plan pooled separate accounts included approximately 35 percent of investments in equity securities and 65 percent of investments in fixed income securities.

Fixed Income Government Securities

Investments in foreign pension plans fixed income government securities were valued using third party pricing services which are based on a combination of quoted market prices on an exchange in an active market as well as proprietary pricing models and inputs using observable market data and are classified as Level 2 investments.

Insurance Contract

Investments in the foreign pension plan insurance contract are valued at the highest value available for the Company at year end, either the reported cash surrender value of the contract or the vested benefit obligation. Both the cash surrender value and the vested benefit obligation are determined based on unobservable inputs, which are contractually or actuarially determined, regarding returns, fees, the present value of the future cash flows of the contract and benefit obligations. The contract is classified as a Level 3 investment.

Diversified Equity Securities - Registered Investment Companies

Investments in the foreign pension plans diversified equity securities of registered investment companies are based upon the quoted redemption value of shares in the fund owned by the plan at year end. The shares of the fund are not available on an exchange or in an active market; however, the fair value is determined based on the underlying investments in the fund as traded on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2 investments.

Fixed Income – Foreign Registered Investment Companies

Investments in the foreign pension plans fixed income securities of foreign registered investment companies are based upon the quoted redemption value of shares in the fund owned by the plan at year end. The shares of the fund are not available on an exchange or in an active market; however, the fair value is determined based on the underlying investments in the fund as traded on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2 investments.

Diversified Investment Fund - Registered Investment Companies

Investments in the foreign pension plan diversified investment fund of registered investment companies are based upon the quoted redemption value of shares in the fund owned by the plan at year end. This fund is not available on an exchange or in an active market and this investment is valued using its NAV, which is generally based on the underlying asset values of the investments held. As of December 31, 2021, the diversified investment funds included approximately 62 percent of investments in equity securities, 20 percent of investments in fixed income securities, and 18 percent of other alternative investments. There were no such investments as of December 31, 2022.

Other – Alternative Investments

Investments in the foreign pension plans include certain other alternative investments such as inflation and interest rate swaps. These investments are valued based on unobservable inputs, which are contractually or actuarially determined, regarding returns, fees, the present value of future cash flows of the contract and benefit obligations. These alternative investments are classified as Level 3 investments.

Real Estate

The U.S. and foreign pension plans’ investment in real estate consists of investments in property funds. The funds’ underlying investments consist of real property which are valued using unobservable inputs. These property funds are classified as a Level 3 investment.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the U.S. and foreign plans’ investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

In 2018, the Company began the process of terminating a noncontributory U.S. pension plan. During 2019, the Company received a favorable termination determination letter from the I.R.S. and completed the termination during 2020. In order to terminate the plan in accordance with I.R.S. and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation requirements, the Company was required to fully fund the plan on a termination basis and the amount necessary to do so was approximately $1.8 million, subject to final true up adjustments. In 2020, the Company finalized the amount of the liability and related annuity payments and received a refund in premium of approximately $1.6 million. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge at plan termination of approximately $22.7 million. This settlement charge included the immediate recognition into expense of the related unrecognized losses within AOCI on the balance sheet as of the plan termination date.

The Company contributes to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan under terms of a collective bargaining union contract (the Cleveland Bakers and Teamsters Pension Fund, Employer Identification Number: 34-0904419-001). The expiration date of the collective bargaining contract is May 1, 2025. As of January 1, 2021, the last valuation date available for the multiemployer plan, total plan liabilities were approximately $583 million. As of December 31, 2021, the multiemployer pension plan had total plan assets of approximately $427 million. The Company’s contribution rate to the multiemployer pension plan is specified in the collective bargaining union contract and contributions are made to the plan based on its union employee payroll. The Company contributed $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, imposes certain contingent liabilities upon an employer who is a contributor to a multiemployer pension plan if the employer withdraws from the plan or the plan is terminated or experiences a mass withdrawal. While the Company may also have additional liabilities imposed by law as a result of its participation in the multiemployer defined benefit pension plan, there is no liability as of December 31, 2022.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “PPA”) also added special funding and operational rules generally applicable to plan years beginning after 2007 for multiemployer plans with certain classifications based on a multitude of factors (including, for example, the plan’s funded percentage, cash flow position and whether the plan is projected to experience a minimum funding deficiency). The plan to which the Company contributes is in “critical” status. Plans in the “critical” status classification must adopt measures to improve their funded status through a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan which may require additional contributions from employers (which may take the form of a surcharge on benefit contributions) and/or modifications to retiree benefits. The amount of additional funds that the Company may be obligated to contribute to the plan in the future cannot be estimated as such amounts will be likely based on future levels of work that require the specific use of those union employees covered by the plan, and the amount of that future work and the number of affected employees that may be needed is not reasonably estimable.

Cash Flows

Contributions

The Company expects to make minimum cash contributions of approximately $5.2 million to its pension plans (approximately $2.6 million U.S. and $2.6 million Foreign) and approximately $0.2 million to its other postretirement benefit plan in 2023.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

Excluding any impact related to the PPA noted above, the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid:


	Pension Benefits						Other Post- Retirement Benefits
	Foreign		U.S.		Total
2023	$	6,097	$	6,868	$	12,965	$	222
2024	5,935		6,290		12,225		203
2025	6,423		6,271		12,694		190
2026	7,117		6,272		13,389		174
2027	6,844		6,254		13,098		151
2028 to 2032	41,304		29,868		71,172		597

The Company maintains a plan under which supplemental retirement benefits are provided to certain officers. Benefits payable under the plan are based on a combination of years of service and existing postretirement benefits. Included in total pension costs are charges of $0.7 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing the annual accrued benefits under this plan.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans in both its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries, under which eligible participants may defer a portion of their compensation up to the allowable amount as determined by the plan. All contributions and Company matches are invested at the direction of the participant. The most significant plan is the Company's primary U.S. 401(k) plan with an employer match covering a majority of its U.S. employees. Beginning in April 2020 and continuing through March 2021, the Company matched both non-elective and elective 401(k) contributions in fully vested shared of the Company’s common stock rather than cash. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Total Company contributions under this U.S. 401(k) plan were $7.2 million, $4.8 million and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Annual cash contributions to all other of the Company’s defined contribution plans is approximately $1 million.

Taxes on Income

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Taxes on Income

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation which we refer to as U.S. Tax Reform. U.S. Tax Reform implemented a new system of taxation for non-U.S. earnings which eliminated U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from certain foreign subsidiaries and imposed a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that is payable over eight years.

Following numerous regulations, notices, and other formal guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), U.S. Department of Treasury, and various state taxing authorities, the Company completed its accounting for the transition tax and has elected to pay its $15.5 million transition tax in installments over eight years as permitted under U.S. Tax Reform. As of December 31, 2022, $6.9 million in installments have been paid with the remaining $8.6 million to be paid through installments in future years.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a deferred tax liability of $6.8 million on certain undistributed foreign earnings, which primarily represents the Company’s estimate of the non-U.S. income taxes the Company will incur to ultimately remit certain earnings to the U.S. The Company’s reinvestment assertions as further explained below.

Taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

The Company has $7.4 million of deferred tax assets related to state net operating losses. Management analyzed the expected impact of the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, considered expiration dates, analyzed current state tax laws, and determined that $1.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards is expected to be realized as a future benefit based on the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, a partial valuation allowance of $5.7 million has been established. These state net operating losses are subject to various carryforward periods of 5 years to 20 years or an indefinite carryforward period. An additional $0.9 million of valuation allowance was established for other net state deferred tax assets.

The Company has $13.1 million of deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. A partial valuation allowance of $2.3 million has been established against this amount resulting in a net $10.8 million expected future benefit. These foreign net operating losses are subject to various carryforward periods with the majority having an indefinite carryforward period. An additional partial valuation allowance of $1.5 million has been established against certain other foreign deferred tax assets.

In conjunction with the Combination, the Company acquired foreign tax credit deferred tax assets of $41.8 million expiring between 2019 and 2028. Foreign tax credits may be carried forward for 10 years. Management analyzed the expected impact of the utilization of foreign tax credits based on certain assumptions such as projected U.S. taxable income, overall domestic loss recapture, and annual limitations due to the ownership change under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company had a foreign tax credit carry forward of $5.2 million and $15.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a $1.3 million and $5.8 million valuation allowance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflecting the amount of credits that are not expected to be utilized before expiration.

The Company also acquired disallowed interest deferred tax assets of $14.0 million as part of the Combination. Disallowed interest may be carried forward indefinitely. Management analyzed the expected impact of the utilization of disallowed interest carryforwards based on projected US taxable income and determined that the Company will utilize all expected future benefits by 2028. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a net realizable disallowed interest carryforward of $10.1 million on its balance sheet related to its US operations and $0.6 million related to non-US operations.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred tax liabilities of $169.4 million primarily related to the step-up in intangibles resulting from the Combination and Norman Hay acquisition.

As part of the Combination, the Company acquired a 50% interest in the Korea Houghton Corporation joint venture and has recorded a $5.9 million deferred tax liability for its outside basis difference.

The following are the changes in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

Pursuant to U.S. Tax Reform, the Company recorded a $15.5 million transition tax liability for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. However, the Company may also be subject to other taxes, such as withholding taxes and dividend distribution taxes, if these undistributed earnings are ultimately remitted to the U.S. As a result of the Combination, additional third-party debt was incurred resulting in the Company re-evaluating its global cash strategy in order to meet its goal of reducing leverage in upcoming years. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a deferred tax liability $6.8 million, which primarily represents the estimate of the non-U.S. taxes the Company will incur to ultimately remit these earnings to the U.S. It is the Company’s current intention to reinvest its additional undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to support working capital needs and certain other growth initiatives outside of the U.S. The amount of such undistributed earnings at December 31, 2022 was approximately $424.7 million. Any tax liability which might result from ultimate remittance of these earnings is expected to be substantially offset by foreign tax credits (subject to certain limitations). It is currently impractical to estimate any such incremental tax expense.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $16.3 million. The Company had accrued approximately $1.3 million for cumulative penalties and $2.7 million for cumulative interest as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $22.5 million. The Company had accrued approximately $3.1 million for cumulative penalties and $3.1 million for cumulative interest as of December 31, 2021.

The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense on income before equity in net income of associated companies in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized a benefit of $1.7 million for penalties and a benefit of $0.3 million for interest (net of expirations and settlements) in its Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2022, a benefit of $0.5 million for penalties and an expense of $0.3 million for interest (net of expirations and settlements) in its Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2021, and an expense of less than $0.1 million for penalties and an expense of $0.6 million for interest (net of expirations and settlements) in its Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company estimates that during the year ending December 31, 2022, it will reduce its cumulative liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $4.9 million due to the expiration of the statute of limitations with regard to certain tax positions. This estimated reduction in the cumulative liability for unrecognized tax benefits does not consider any increase in liability for unrecognized tax benefits with regard to existing tax positions or any increase in cumulative liability for unrecognized tax benefits with regard to new tax positions for the year ending December 31, 2022.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is as follows:


	2022		2021		2020
Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1	$	22,464	$	22,152	$	19,097
(Decrease) increase in unrecognized tax benefits taken in prior periods	(1,174)		1,002		2,025
Increase in unrecognized tax benefits taken in current period	953		2,915		3,095
Decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to lapse of statute of limitations	(2,378)		(1,527)		(2,024)
Decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to audit settlements	(2,509)		(1,104)		(1,635)
Increase in unrecognized tax benefits due to acquisition	—		—		597
(Decrease) increase due to foreign exchange rates	(1,016)		(974)		997
Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31	$	16,340	$	22,464	$	22,152

The amount of net unrecognized tax benefits above that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s tax expense and effective tax rate is $10.2 million, $15.2 million and $14.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax, as well as the income tax of various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include Italy from 2007, Brazil from 2011, the Netherlands from 2016, Canada, China, Mexico, Germany, Spain and the U.S. from 2018, the United Kingdom from 2019, India from fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017 and ending March 31, 2018, and various U.S. state tax jurisdictions from 2011.

As previously reported, the Italian tax authorities have assessed additional tax due from the Company’s subsidiary, Quaker Italia S.r.l., relating to the tax years 2007 through 2015. The Company has filed for competent authority relief from these assessments under the Mutual Agreement Procedures (“MAP”) of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development for all years except 2007. In 2020, the respective tax authorities in Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands reached agreement with respect to the MAP proceedings, which the Company has accepted. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has received $1.6 million in refunds from the Netherlands and Spain. In February 2022, the Company received a settlement notice from the Italian taxing authorities confirming the amount due of $2.6 million, having granted the Company’s request to utilize its remaining net operating losses to partially offset the liability. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has paid the full settlement, of which approximately $0.2 million was refunded.

Houghton Italia, S.r.l is also involved in a corporate income tax audit with the Italian tax authorities covering tax years 2014 through 2018. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company settled a portion of the Houghton Italia, S.r.l. corporate income tax audit with the Italian tax authorities for the tax years 2014 and 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company settled tax years 2016 through 2018 for a total of $2.0 million. In total, the Company has now settled all years 2014 through 2018 for $3.7 million. Accordingly, the Company has released all reserves relating to this audit for the settled tax years. As a result of the settlement and reserve release the Company recognized a net benefit to the tax provision of $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has an indemnification receivable of $3.6 million in connection with its claim against the former owners of Houghton for any pre-Combination tax liabilities arising from this matter, as well as other audit settlements and tax matters.

Houghton Deutschland GmbH was also under audit by the German tax authorities for tax years 2015 through 2017. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company settled the corporate tax audit for the tax years 2015-2017 with the German tax authorities for a total of $0.3 million. The Company has an indemnification receivable of $0.3 million in connection with its claim against the former owners of Houghton for any pre-Combination tax liabilities arising from this matter.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

The Company’s operating segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the Company’s internal organization, the method by which the Company’s resources are allocated and the manner by which the chief operating decision maker assesses the Company’s performance. The Company has three reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) Asia/Pacific. The segments are composed of the net sales and operations in each respective region. All prior period information has been recast to reflect the Company’s new reportable segments.

Segment operating earnings for each of the Company’s reportable segments are comprised of the segment’s net sales less directly related COGS and SG&A. Operating expenses not directly attributable to the net sales of each respective segment, such as certain corporate and administrative costs, Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, and Restructuring and related charges, are not included in segment operating earnings. The figures presented for all periods reflect the Company’s current definition of directly related segment operating expenses and operating expenses not directly attributable to the net sales of each respective segment. As applicable, immaterial prior year reclassifications have been reflected to conform with the current year presentation. Other items not specifically identified with the Company’s reportable segments include Interest expense, net and Other (expense) income, net.

The following tables present information about the performance of the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization for definite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:


	Gross Carrying Amount				Accumulated Amortization				Net Book Value
	2022		2021		2022		2021		2022		2021
Customer lists and rights to sell	$	831,600	$	853,122	$	191,286	$	147,858	$	640,314	$	705,264

The Company recorded $57.5 million, $59.9 million and $55.9 million of amortization expense during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization is recorded within SG&A in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Estimated annual aggregate amortization expense for the subsequent five years is as follows:


For the year ended December 31, 2023	$	57,822
For the year ended December 31, 2024	57,218
For the year ended December 31, 2025	56,466
For the year ended December 31, 2026	56,194
For the year ended December 31, 2027	55,897

The Company has four indefinite-lived intangible assets totaling $189.1 million as of December 31, 2022, including $188.0 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets for trademarks and tradename associated with the Combination. Comparatively, the Company had four indefinite-lived intangible assets for trademarks and tradename totaling $196.9 million as of December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $38.0 million non-cash impairment charge to write down the value of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets related to certain acquired Houghton trademarks and tradenames and is primarily the result of the negative impacts of COVID-19 on their estimated fair values.

The Company completes its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if triggering events indicate a possible impairment in one or more of its reporting units. The Company completed its annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2022 and concluded no impairment charge was warranted. The Company continually evaluates financial performance, economic conditions and other recent developments in assessing if a triggering event indicates that the carrying values of goodwill, indefinite-lived, or long-lived assets are impaired.

The Company continues to monitor various financial, economic and geopolitical conditions impacting the Company, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the Company’s decision to cease operations in Russia, continued raw material cost escalation, supply chain constraints and disruptions, as well as rising interest rates and the Company’s cost of capital, among other factors. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company concluded that the escalation of these events adversely impacted the Company’s EMEA reporting unit’s financial performance and represented a triggering event. As a result of this conclusion, the Company completed an interim impairment assessment for its EMEA reporting unit, as well as the related asset group, during the third quarter of 2022. The Company concluded that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the long-lived assets, and it was not more likely than not that an impairment exists. In completing a quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the reporting unit’s fair value, primarily based on future discounted cash flows, to its carrying value in order to determine if an impairment charge is warranted. The estimates of future discounted cash flows involve considerable judgment and are based upon certain significant assumptions including the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as well as projected EBITDA, which includes assumptions related to revenue growth rates, gross margin levels and operating expenses. The estimated fair value of the EMEA reporting unit as of this interim impairment assessment exceeded its carrying value and the Company concluded no impairment was warranted.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, subsequent to the Company completing its annual impairment test as of October 1, 2022, the Company concluded that the continued negative impacts of the aforementioned events, most notably the continued rise in interest rates which led to an increase in the Company’s cost of capital, as well as lower than expected financial performance driven by the ongoing lag in margin recovery represented an additional triggering event for the Company’s EMEA reporting unit and the associated goodwill, as well as the related asset group. As a result of this conclusion, the Company completed an interim impairment assessment as of December 31, 2022 for its EMEA reporting unit and the related asset group. The Company concluded that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the long-lived assets, and it was not more likely than not that an impairment exists. In completing a quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the reporting unit’s fair value, primarily based on future discounted cash flows, to its carrying value in order to determine if an impairment charge is warranted. The estimates of future discounted cash flows involve considerable judgment and are based upon certain significant assumptions including the WACC as well as projected EBITDA, which includes assumptions related to revenue growth rates, gross margin levels and operating expenses. As a result of the impact of financial, economic, and geopolitical conditions driving a decrease in EMEA earnings in the current year, the impact of the current year decline on projected future earnings, as well as an increase in the WACC assumption utilized in this fourth quarter interim quantitative impairment assessment, the Company concluded that the estimated fair value of the EMEA reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, a non-cash impairment charge of $93.0 million to write down the carrying value of the EMEA reporting unit Goodwill to its estimated fair values was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Notwithstanding the results of the Company’s annual and trigger based interim impairment assessments during 2022 and the goodwill impairment charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2022, if the Company is unable to successfully implement actions aimed at more than offsetting raw material costs and ongoing inflationary pressures and the financial performance of the EMEA reporting unit declines further, or interest rates continue to rise and this leads to an increase in the cost of capital, then it is possible these financial, economic and geopolitical conditions could result in another triggering event for the EMEA reporting unit in the future and could potentially lead to an additional impairment of the EMEA reporting unit’s remaining goodwill or other indefinite-lived or long-lived assets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies In the early 1990s, the Company identified certain soil and groundwater contamination at AC Products, Inc. (“ACP”), a wholly owned subsidiary. In voluntary coordination with the Santa Ana California Regional Water Quality Board, ACP has been remediating the contamination, the principal contaminant of which is perchloroethylene (“PERC”). In 2004, the Orange County Water District (“OCWD”) filed a civil complaint against ACP and other parties seeking to recover compensatory and other damages related to the investigation and remediation of the contamination in the groundwater. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with OCWD, ACP agreed, among other things, to operate the two groundwater treatment systems to hydraulically contain groundwater contamination emanating from ACP’s site until the concentrations of PERC released by ACP fell below the current Federal maximum contaminant level for four consecutive quarterly sampling events. In 2014, ACP ceased operation at one of its two groundwater treatment systems, as it had met the above condition for closure. In 2020, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board asked that ACP conduct some additional indoor and outdoor soil vapor testing on and near the ACP site to confirm that ACP continues to meet the applicable local standards and ACP performed such testing program work in 2022 and will continue into 2023. As of December 31, 2022, ACP believes it is close to meeting the conditions for closure of the remaining groundwater treatment system but continues to operate this system while in discussions with the relevant authorities. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes that the range of potential-known liabilities associated with the balance of ACP water remediation program is approximately $0.1 million to $1.0 million. The low and high ends of the range are based on the length of operation of the treatment system as determined by groundwater modeling. Costs of operation include the operation and maintenance of the extraction well, groundwater monitoring, program management, and soil vapor testing. An inactive subsidiary of the Company that was acquired in the late 1970s sold certain products containing asbestos, primarily on an installed basis, and is among the defendants in numerous lawsuits alleging injury due to exposure to asbestos. The subsidiary discontinued operations in 1991 and has no remaining assets other than proceeds received from insurance settlements. To date, the overwhelming majority of these claims have been disposed of without payment and there have been no adverse judgments against the subsidiary. Based on a continued analysis of the existing and anticipated future claims against this subsidiary, it is currently projected that the subsidiary’s total liability over the next 50 years for these claims is approximately $0.2 million (excluding costs of defense). Although the Company has also been named as a defendant in certain of these cases, no claims have been actively pursued against the Company, and the Company has not contributed to the defense or settlement of any of these cases pursued against the subsidiary. These cases were originally handled by the subsidiary’s primary and excess insurers who had agreed in 1997 to pay all defense costs and be responsible for all damages assessed against the subsidiary arising out of existing and future asbestos claims up to the aggregate limits of their policies. A significant portion of this primary insurance coverage was provided by an insurer that is insolvent, and the other primary insurers asserted that the aggregate limits of their policies had been exhausted. The subsidiary challenged the applicability of these limits to the claims being brought against the subsidiary. In response, two of the three carriers entered into separate settlement and release agreements with the subsidiary in 2005 and 2007 for $15.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. In 2007, the subsidiary and the remaining primary insurance carrier entered into a Claim Handling and Funding Agreement, under which the carrier is paying 27% of defense and indemnity costs incurred by or on behalf of the subsidiary in connection with asbestos bodily injury claims. The agreement continues until terminated and can only be terminated by either party by providing a minimum of two years prior written notice. As of December 31, 2022, no notice of termination has been given under this agreement. At the end of the term of the agreement, the subsidiary may choose to again pursue its claim against this insurer regarding the application of the policy limits. The Company believes that, if the coverage issues under the primary policies with the remaining carrier are resolved adversely to the subsidiary and all settlement proceeds were used, the subsidiary may have limited additional coverage from a state guarantee fund established following the insolvency of one of the subsidiary’s primary insurers. Nevertheless, liabilities in respect of claims may exceed the assets and coverage available to the subsidiary. If the subsidiary’s assets and insurance coverage were to be exhausted, claimants of the subsidiary may actively pursue claims against the Company because of the parent-subsidiary relationship. The Company does not believe that such claims would have merit or that the Company would be held to have liability for any unsatisfied obligations of the subsidiary as a result of such claims. After evaluating the nature of the claims filed against the subsidiary and the small number of such claims that have resulted in any payment, the potential availability of additional insurance coverage at the subsidiary level, the additional availability of the Company’s own insurance and the Company’s strong defenses to claims that it should be held responsible for the subsidiary’s obligations because of the parent-subsidiary relationship, the Company believes it is not probable that the Company will incur losses. The Company has been successful to date having claims naming it dismissed during initial proceedings. Since the Company may be in this stage of litigation for some time, it is not possible to estimate additional losses or range of loss, if any. The Company is party to environmental matters related to certain domestic and foreign properties. These environmental matters primarily require the Company to perform long-term monitoring as well as operating and maintenance at each of the applicable sites. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no significant changes to the facts or circumstances of these matters, aside from ongoing monitoring and maintenance activities and routine payments associated with each of these sites. The Company continually evaluates its obligations related to such matters, and based on historical costs incurred and projected costs to be incurred over the next 26 years, has estimated the present value range of costs for all of these environmental matters, on a discounted basis, to be between approximately $5.0 million and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2022, for which $5.3 million is accrued within other accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022. Comparatively, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had $5.6 million accrued for with respect to these matters. The Company’s Sao Paulo, Brazil site was required under Brazilian environmental, health and safety regulations to perform an environmental assessment as part of a permit renewal process. Initial investigations identified soil and ground water contamination in select areas of the site. The site has conducted a multi-year soil and groundwater investigation and corresponding risk assessments based on the result of the investigations. In 2017, the site had to submit a new 5-year permit renewal request and was asked to complete additional investigations to further delineate the site based on review of the technical data by the local regulatory agency, Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (“CETESB”). Based on review of the updated investigation data, CETESB issued a Technical Opinion regarding the investigation and remedial actions taken to date. The site developed an action plan and submitted it to CETESB in 2018 based on CETESB requirements. The site intervention plan primarily requires the site, amongst other actions, to conduct periodic monitoring for methane in soil vapors, source zone delineation, groundwater plume delineation, bedrock aquifer assessment, update the human health risk assessment, develop a current site conceptual model and conduct a remedial feasibility study and provide a revised intervention plan. In 2020, the site submitted a report on the activities completed including the revised site conceptual model and results of the remedial feasibility study and recommended remedial strategy for the site. Other environmental matters include participation in certain payments in connection with four currently active environmental consent orders related to certain hazardous waste cleanup activities under the U.S. Federal Superfund statute. The Company has been designated a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) by the Environmental Protection Agency along with other PRPs depending on the site, and has other obligations to perform cleanup activities at certain other foreign subsidiaries. These environmental matters primarily require the Company to perform long-term monitoring as well as operating and maintenance at each of the applicable sites. The Company believes, although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of other unrelated environmental matters, that it has made adequate accruals for costs associated with other environmental problems of which it is aware. Approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million were accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to provide for such anticipated future environmental assessments and remediation costs. During 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries received a notice of inspection from a taxing authority in a country where certain of its subsidiaries operate which related to a non-income (indirect) tax that may be applicable to certain products the subsidiary sells. During 2021, the Company’s subsidiary received notice from the taxing authority that the inspection was closed, with no tax assessment issued. Based on this development, during 2021, the Company reversed its previously recorded $1.8 million liability related to this matter. The Company also reversed the associated $1.1 million indemnification receivable, as the asserted tax liability in part related to a Houghton entity acquired in the Combination and for the periods prior to the Combination, for which the Company would have rights to indemnification from Houghton’s former owners. Based on all available information as of the date of this report, the Company does not anticipate further tax liabilities related to this matter to be asserted by the taxing authority. During 2021, one of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries received a notice that it had prevailed on an existing legal claim in regard to certain non-income (indirect) taxes that had been previously charged and paid. The matter specifically relates to companies’ rights to exclude the state tax on goods circulation (a valued-added-tax or VAT equivalent, known in Brazil as “ICMS”) from the calculation of certain additional indirect taxes (specifically the program of social integration (“PIS”) and contribution for the financing of social security (“COFINS”)) levied by the Brazilian States on the sale of goods. In May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court concluded that ICMS should not be included in the tax base of PIS and COFINS, and confirmed the methodology for calculating the PIS and COFINS tax credit claims to which taxpayers are entitled. The Company’s Brazilian entities had previously filed legal or administrative disputes on this matter and are entitled to receive tax credits and interest dating back to five years preceding the date of their legal claims. As a result of these court rulings, during 2021, the Company recognized non-income tax credits of 67.0 million BRL or approximately $13.3 million, which included approximately $8.4 million for the PIS and COFINS tax credits as well as interest on these tax credits of $4.9 million, and is recorded within prepaid and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The tax credits to which the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries are entitled are claimable once registered with the Brazilian tax authorities. The Company submitted its formal claim for tax credits in 2021. These tax credits can be used to offset future Brazilian federal taxes. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has used the full amount of credits. Also during 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled that interest income to which companies are entitled for matters such as this claim should not be taxable, which resulted in a reduction to the estimated income tax expense associated with the tax credits recorded. In connection with obtaining regulatory approvals for the Combination, certain steel and aluminum related product lines of Houghton were divested in August 2019. In 2021, the entity that acquired these divested product lines submitted an indemnification claim for certain alleged breaches of representation made by Houghton in the agreement pursuant to which such assets had been divested. The Company responded to the subject matters of the indemnification claim and during 2022, the matter was resolved consistent with the Company’s expectations and position that there were no amounts owed by the Company. During 2021, two of the Company’s locations suffered property damages as a result of flooding and electrical fire, respectively. The Company maintains property insurance for all of its facilities globally. In Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, the Company’s global headquarters as well as its laboratory experienced property damages as a result of flooding from Hurricane Ida. Also, one of the Company’s North American production facilities in its Americas segment experienced a electrical fire that resulted in damage and the temporary shutdown of production, and also required remediation, cleaning and subsequent restoration. The Company, its insurance adjuster and insurance carrier are actively managing the remediation and restoration activities associated with these events and at this time the Company has concluded, based on all available information and discussions with its insurance adjuster and insurance carrier, that the losses incurred during 2021 will be covered under the Company’s property insurance coverage, net of an aggregate deductible of $2.0 million. Through December 31, 2022, the Company has received payments from its insurers of $4.6 million associated with these events. During 2022, the Company recognized a gain on insurance recoveries of $1.8 million. The Company has recorded an insurance receivable associated with these events of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company and its insurance carrier continue to review the impact of the electrical fire on the production facility’s operations as it relates to a potential business interruption insurance claim; however, as of the date of this Report, the Company cannot reasonably estimate any probable amount of business interruption insurance claim recoverable. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a gain contingency for a possible business interruption insurance claim as of December 31, 2022. The Company is party to other litigation which management currently believes will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition, the Company has an immaterial amount of contractual purchase obligations.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Net Sales and Revenue Recognition

Arrangements Resulting in Net Reporting

As part of the Company’s FluidcareTM business, certain third-party product sales to customers are managed by the Company. The Company transferred third-party products under arrangements resulting in net reporting of $83.8 million, $71.7 million and $42.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Customer Concentration

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are realized from the sale of process fluids and services to manufacturers of steel, aluminum, automobiles, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s five largest customers (each composed of multiple subsidiaries or divisions with semiautonomous purchasing authority) accounted for approximately 11% of consolidated net sales, with its largest customer accounting for approximately 3% of consolidated net sales.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company had no material contract assets recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company had approximately $5.7 million and $7.0 million of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company satisfied all of the associated performance obligations and recognized into revenue the advance payments received and recorded as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company sells its various industrial process fluids, its specialty chemicals and its technical expertise as a global product portfolio. The Company generally manages and evaluates its performance by segment first, and then by customer industry, rather than by individual product lines. Also, net sales of each of the Company’s major product lines are generally spread throughout all three of the Company’s geographic regions, and in most cases, approximately proportionate to the level of total sales in each region.

The following tables present disaggregated information regarding the Company’s net sales, first by major product lines that represent more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for any of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and followed then by a disaggregation of the Company’s net sales by segment, geographic region, customer industry, and timing of revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents [Abstract]

Restricted Cash

Prior to December 2020, the Company had restricted cash recorded in other assets related to proceeds from an inactive subsidiary of the Company which previously executed separate settlement and release agreements with two of its insurance carriers for an original total value of $35.0 million. The proceeds of both settlements were restricted and could only be used to pay claims and costs of defense associated with the subsidiary’s asbestos litigation. The proceeds of the settlement and release agreements were deposited into interest bearing accounts which earned less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, offset by $1.0 million of net payments during 2020. Due to the restricted nature of the proceeds, a corresponding deferred credit was established in other non-current liabilities for an equal and offsetting amount that continued until the restrictions lapsed.

During December 2020, the restrictions ended on these previously received insurance settlements and the Company transferred the cash into an operating account. In connection with the termination in restrictions, the Company recognized a $35.0 million gain on its Consolidated Statement of Income in Other income (expense), net, for the amount of previously restricted cash, net of the estimated liability to pay claims and associated with the inactive subsidiary’s asbestos litigation as of December 31, 2020. Therefore, due to these restrictions ending, there was no restricted cash for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. See Notes 18, 22 and 26 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Quaker Chemical B.V., as borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. Dollar swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders party thereto, entered into a credit agreement on August 1, 2019, as amended (the “Original Credit Facility”). The Original Credit Facility was comprised of a $400.0 million multicurrency revolver (the “Original Revolver”), a $600.0 million term loan (the “Original U.S. Term Loan”), each with the Company as borrower, and a $150.0 million (as of August 1, 2019) Euro equivalent term loan (the “Original EURO Term Loan”) with Quaker Chemical B.V., a Dutch subsidiary of the Company as borrower, each with a five year term, maturing in August 2024.

During June 2022, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quaker Houghton B.V., as borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. Dollar swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, Bank of America Europe Designated Active Company, as Euro Swing Line Lender, certain guarantors and other lenders entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”).

The Company has the right to increase the amount of the Amended Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $300.0 million or 100% of Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain conditions including the agreement to provide financing by any lender providing such increase. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility also:

(ii) replaced the U.S. Dollar borrowings reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR;

(iii) extended the maturity date of the Original Credit Facility from August 2024 to June 2027; and

(iv) effected certain other changes to the Original Credit Facility as set forth in the Amended Credit Facility.

The Company used the proceeds of the Amended Credit Facility to repay all outstanding loans under the Original Credit Facility, unpaid accrued interest and fees on the closing date under the Original Credit Facility and certain expenses and fees. U.S. Dollar-denominated borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at the base rate or term SOFR plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% for term SOFR loans and from 0.00% to 0.75% for base rate loans, depending upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. Loans based on term SOFR also include a spread adjustment equal to 0.10% per annum. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars bear interest at the alternative currency term rate plus the applicable rate ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%

The Amended Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default, including without limitation restrictions on (a) the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (b) investments in and acquisitions of other businesses, lines of business and divisions; (c) the making of dividends or capital stock purchases; and (d) dispositions of assets. Dividends and share repurchases are permitted in annual amounts not exceeding the greater of $75 million annually and 25% of consolidated EBITDA if there is no default. If the consolidated net leverage ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00, then the Company is no longer subject to restricted payments.

Financial covenants contained in the Amended Credit Facility include a consolidated interest coverage ratio test and a consolidated net leverage ratio test. The consolidated net leverage ratio at the end of a quarter may not be greater than 4.00 to 1.00, subject to a permitted increase during a four-quarter period after certain acquisitions. The Company has the option of replacing the consolidated net leverage ratio test with a consolidated senior net leverage ratio test if the Company issues certain types of unsecured notes, subject to certain limitations. Events of default in the Amended Credit Facility include without limitation defaults for non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, non-performance of covenants, cross-defaults, insolvency, and a change of control in certain circumstances. The occurrence of an event of default under the Amended Credit Facility could result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and the Amended Credit Facility being terminated. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the Amended and Original Credit Facility covenants.

The weighted average variable interest rate incurred on the outstanding borrowings under the Original Credit Facility and the Amended Credit Facility during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was approximately 3.0%. As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility was approximately 4.9%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Original Credit Facility, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.2% to 0.3% depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio under the Original Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. As part of the Amended Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.275% related to unutilized commitments under the Amended Revolver, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Company had unused capacity under the Amended Revolver of approximately $301.1 million, which is net of bank letters of credit of approximately $3 million, as of December 31, 2022.

The Company previously capitalized $23.7 million of certain third-party debt issuance costs in connection with executing the Original Credit Facility. Approximately $15.5 million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Original Term Loans and recorded as a direct reduction of Long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Approximately $8.3 million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Original Revolver and recorded within Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These capitalized costs are being amortized into interest expense over the five year term of the Original Credit Facility. Prior to executing the Amended Credit Facility, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had $8.0 million of debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of Long-term debt attributable to the Original Credit Facility and $4.3 million of debt issuance costs recorded within Other assets attributable to the Original Credit Facility.

In connection with executing the Amended Credit Facility, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.8 million which includes the write-off of certain previously unamortized deferred financing costs as well as a portion of the third-party and creditor debt issuance costs incurred to execute the Amended Credit Facility. Also in connection with executing the Amended Credit Facility, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company capitalized $2.2 million of certain third-party and creditor debt issuance costs. Approximately $0.7 million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Amended Euro Term Loan and Amended U.S. Term Loan. These costs were recorded as a direct reduction of Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Approximately $1.5 million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Amended Revolver and recorded within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These capitalized costs, as well as the previously capitalized costs that were not written off will collectively be amortized into Interest expense over the five year term of the Amended Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $2.0 million of debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and $4.3 million of debt issuance costs recorded within Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Original Credit Facility required the Company to fix its variable interest rates on at least 20% of its total Term Loans. In order to satisfy this requirement as well as to manage the Company’s exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility, in November 2019, the Company entered into $170.0 million notional amounts of three year interest rate swaps at a base rate of 1.64% plus an applicable margin as provided in the Credit Facility, based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. At the time the Company entered into the swaps, the aggregate interest rate on the swaps, including the fixed base rate plus an applicable margin, was 3.1%. The Amended Credit Facility does not require the Company to fix variable interest rates on any portion of its borrowings. In October 2022, the Company’s interest rate swap contracts expired. Upon expiration, the Company received a cash payment from the counterparties of $0.2 million. See Note 25 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Industrial development bonds

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had fixed rate, industrial development authority bonds totaling $10.0 million in principal amount due in 2028. These bonds have similar covenants to the Amended Credit Facility noted above.

Bank lines of credit and other debt obligations

The Company has certain unsecured bank lines of credit and discounting facilities in certain foreign subsidiaries, which are not collateralized. The Company’s other debt obligations primarily consist of certain domestic and foreign low interest rate or interest-free municipality-related loans, local credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries and capital lease obligations. Total unused capacity under these arrangements as of December 31, 2022, was approximately $35 million.

In addition to the bank letters of credit described in the “Credit facilities” subsection above, the Company’s only other off-balance sheet arrangements include certain financial and other guarantees. The Company’s total bank letters of credit and guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2022 were approximately $5 million.

The Company incurred the following debt related expenses included within Interest expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2022		2021		2020
Interest expense	$	33,691	$	19,089	$	23,552
Amortization of debt issuance costs	2,942		4,749		4,749
Total	$	36,633	$	23,838	$	28,301

Based on the variable interest rates associated with the Amended Credit Facility and the Original Credit Facility, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amounts at which the Company’s total debt were recorded are not materially different from their fair market value.


For the year ended December 31, 2023	$	19,063
For the year ended December 31, 2024	23,740
For the year ended December 31, 2025	37,745
For the year ended December 31, 2026	37,705
For the year ended December 31, 2027	825,964
Total maturities on debt in the next five fiscal years	944,217

Restructuring and Related Activities

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring and Related Activities

The Company’s Management approved a global restructuring plan (the “QH Program”) as part of its initial plan to realize certain cost synergies associated with the Combination in the third quarter of 2019. The QH Program included restructuring and associated severance costs to reduce total headcount by approximately 400 people globally, as well as plans for the closure of certain manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has substantially completed all of the initiatives under the QH Program with only an immaterial amount of remaining severance still to be paid, which is expected to be completed during 2023.

In response to current macroeconomic headwinds and softer operating conditions, in 2022, the Company’s Management initiated a global cost and optimization program to improve its cost structure and drive a more profitable and productive organization. This program has and will include certain restructuring activities as part of the plan to further optimize and strengthen the Company’s footprint, optimize the go-to-market strategy, simplify the portfolio and organization, and enable the Company to deliver on its strategic plan. During the fourth quarter of 2022, initial actions under this program included restructuring and associated severance costs to reduce headcount by approximately 40 positions globally. These headcount reductions began in the fourth quarter of 2022 and are expected to be completed in 2023.

Under the Company’s restructuring programs, employee separation benefits varied depending on local regulations within certain foreign countries and included severance and other benefits. The exact timing to complete all actions and final costs associated will depend on a number of factors and are subject to change. Restructuring costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 include severance costs to reduce headcount, including customary and routine adjustments to initial estimates for employee separation costs, as well as costs to close certain facilities and are recorded in Restructuring and related charges in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In connection with the plans for closure of certain manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities, the Company has made available for sale certain facilities and property. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, certain of these facilities were sold and the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million in 2022 and $5.4 million in 2021 and a loss of approximately $0.6 million in 2020, which is included within Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, certain land with an aggregate book value of approximately $0.6 million continues to be held-for-sale as of December 31, 2022 and is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to complete the sale of this land in 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate actions to strengthen and optimize its existing facilities and footprint and this may include making certain other facilities or property available for sale in the future. As described in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Restructuring and related charges are not included in the Company’s calculation of reportable segments’ measure of operating earnings and therefore these costs are not reviewed by or recorded to reportable segments.

Activity in the Company’s accrual for restructuring for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies As used in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “Quaker,” “Quaker Houghton,” the “Company,” “we,” and “our” refer to Quaker Chemical Corporation (doing business as Quaker Houghton), its subsidiaries, and associated companies, unless the context otherwise requires. The “Combination” refers to the Quaker combination with Houghton International, Inc. (“Houghton”). Segments: The Company’s operating segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the Company’s internal organization, the method by which the Company’s resources are allocated and the manner by which the chief operating decision maker assesses the Company’s performance. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reorganized its executive management team to align with its new business structure. The Company’s new structure includes three reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia/Pacific. Prior to the Company’s reorganization, the Company’s historical reportable segments were: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses. Prior period segment financial information has been recast to align with segment change, including reportable segments and customer industry disaggregation. See Notes 2, 4, 5, and 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Principles of consolidation: All majority-owned subsidiaries are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with appropriate elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. Investments in associated companies (less than majority-owned and in which the Company has significant influence) are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s share of net income or losses in these investments in associated companies is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairments and, if necessary, would adjust these investments to their fair value when a decline in market value or other impairment indicators are deemed to be other than temporary. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and therefore the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any VIEs. Translation of foreign currency: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries and associated companies are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the year. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded directly in equity as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) and will be included as income or expense only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying entity or asset. Generally, all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. Cash and cash equivalents: The Company invests temporary and excess funds in money market securities and financial instruments having maturities within 90 days. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced losses from the aforementioned investments. Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses: Trade accounts receivable subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses, which represents the portion of the receivable that the Company does not expect to collect over its contractual life, considering past events and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on its trade accounts receivable is based on specific collectability facts and circumstances for each outstanding receivable and customer, the aging of outstanding receivables, and the associated collection risk the Company estimates for certain past due aging categories, and also, the general risk to all outstanding accounts receivable based on historical amounts determined to be uncollectible. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. See Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of, and obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of, the underlying asset. Lease expense for variable leases and short-term leases is recognized when the obligation is incurred. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by an option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise. Operating leases are included in right of use lease assets, other accrued liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Right of use lease assets and liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present value of its lease payments over its respective lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses the stated borrowing rate for a lease when readily determinable. When a stated borrowing rate is not available in a lease agreement, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. In determining the incremental borrowing rate used to present value each of its leases, the Company considers certain information including fully secured borrowing rates readily available to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company includes finance leases in Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Long-lived assets: PP&E is stated at gross cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method on an individual asset basis over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements, 10 to 33 years, or the remaining term of the lease; and machinery and equipment, 4 to 10 years, or the remaining term of the lease. The carrying values of long-lived assets are evaluated whenever changes in circumstances or current events indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate group of assets, is compared with the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. If necessary, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value. Fair value is based on current and anticipated future cash flows. Upon sale or other dispositions of long-lived assets, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposals, is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenditures for renewals or improvements that increase the estimated useful life or capacity of the assets are capitalized, whereas expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. See Notes 9 and 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Capitalized software: The Company capitalizes certain costs in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use, depending on the associated project. These costs are amortized over a period of 3 to 5 years once the assets are ready for their intended use. In connection with the implementations and upgrades to the Company’s global transaction, consolidation and other related systems, approximately $3.5 million and $3.6 million of net costs were capitalized in PP&E on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Goodwill and other intangible assets: The Company records goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets at fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually. These tests will be performed more frequently if triggering events indicate potential impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from 3 to 24 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets, consistent with the discussion of long-lived assets, above. See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services transferred to its customers. To do this, the Company applies a five-step model, which requires the Company to: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company identifies a contract with a customer when a sales agreement indicates approval and commitment of the parties; identifies the rights of the parties; identifies the payment terms; has commercial substance; and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. The Company identifies a performance obligation in a contract for each promised good or service that is separately identifiable from other obligations in the contract and for which the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company determines the transaction price as the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for fulfilling the performance obligations, including the effects of any variable consideration, significant financing elements, amounts payable to the customer or noncash consideration. For any contracts that have more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. In accordance with the last step of the five-step model, the Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies the performance obligation in a contract by transferring control of a promised good or providing the service to the customer. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time for product sales, generally when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, depending on the terms underlying each arrangement. In circumstances where the Company’s products are on consignment, revenue is generally recognized upon usage or consumption by the customer. For any FluidcareTM or other services provided by the Company to the customer, the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time, as the promised services are performed. The Company uses input methods to recognize revenue over time related to these services, including labor costs and time incurred. The Company believes that these input methods represent the most indicative measure of the FluidcareTM or other service work performed by the Company. The Company does not have standard payment terms for all customers, however the Company’s general payment terms require customers to pay for products or services provided after the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company does not have significant financing arrangements with its customers. Therefore, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. In addition, the Company expenses costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected period of benefit, and therefore the amortization period, is one year or less. In addition, the Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, value added, excise and various other taxes. Lastly, the Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost, rather than an additional promised service. The Company does not have significant amounts of variable consideration in its contracts with customers and where applicable, the Company’s estimates of variable consideration are not constrained. The Company records certain third-party license fees in other income (expense), net, in its Consolidated Statement of Operations, which generally include sales-based royalties in exchange for the license of intellectual property. These license fees are recognized in accordance with their agreed-upon terms and when performance obligations are satisfied, which is generally when the third party has a subsequent sale. The Company recognizes a contract asset or receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheet when the Company performs a service or transfers a good in advance of receiving consideration. A receivable is the Company’s right to consideration that is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. A contract asset is the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer. A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives consideration, or if it has the unconditional right to receive consideration, in advance of performance. A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, or a specified amount of consideration is due, from the customer. See Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Research and development costs: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Research and development expenses were $46.0 million, $44.9 million and $40.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Environmental liabilities and expenditures: Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of estimated liability and no amount in that range is considered more probable than another, then the Company records the lowest amount in the range. Environmental costs and remediation costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life, increase the capacity or improve safety or efficiency of the property from the date acquired or constructed, and/or mitigate or prevent contamination in the future. See Note 26 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Asset retirement obligations: The Company assesses whether it has legal or conditional obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, including any legal obligations that require disposal of a replaced part that is a component of a tangible long-lived asset. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no significant exposure or liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pension and other postretirement benefits: The Company maintains various noncontributory retirement plans, covering a portion of its employees in the U.S. and certain other countries, including the Netherlands, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Mexico, Sweden, Germany and France. The plans of the remaining non-U.S. subsidiaries are, for the most part, either fully insured or integrated with the local governments’ plans. The Company recognizes on a prospective basis the funded status of the defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and, also, recognize as a component of AOCI, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. In addition, the Company recognizes a settlement charge in its Consolidated Statements of Operations when certain events occur, including plan termination or the settlement of certain plan liabilities. A settlement charge represents the immediate recognition into expense of a portion of the unrecognized loss within AOCI on the balance sheet in proportion to the share of the projected benefit obligation that was settled. The measurement date for the Company’s postretirement benefits plan is December 31. The Company’s global pension investment policies are designed to ensure that pension assets are invested in a manner consistent with meeting the future benefit obligations of the pension plans and maintaining compliance with various laws and regulations including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company establishes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and benchmarks for significant asset classes with the aim of achieving a prudent balance between return and risk. The Company’s investment horizon is generally long term, and, accordingly, the target asset allocations encompass a long-term perspective of capital markets, expected risk and return and perceived future economic conditions while also considering the profile of plan liabilities. To the extent feasible, the short-term investment portfolio is managed to match the short-term obligations, the intermediate portfolio duration is matched to reduce the risk of volatility in intermediate plan distributions, and the total return portfolio is managed to maximize the long-term real growth of plan assets. The critical investment principles of diversification, assessment of risk and targeting the optimal expected returns for given levels of risk are applied. The Company’s investment guidelines prohibit the use of securities such as letter stock and other unregistered securities, commodities or commodity contracts, short sales, margin transactions, private placements (unless specifically addressed by addendum), or any derivatives, options or futures for the purpose of portfolio leveraging. The target asset allocation is reviewed periodically and is determined based on a long-term projection of capital market outcomes, inflation rates, fixed income yields, returns, volatilities and correlation relationships. The interaction between plan assets and benefit obligations is periodically studied to assist in establishing such strategic asset allocation targets. Asset performance is monitored with an overall expectation that plan assets will meet or exceed benchmark performance over rolling five year periods. The Company’s pension committee, as authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), has discretion to manage the assets within established asset allocation ranges approved by senior management of the Company. See Note 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Comprehensive income (loss): The Company presents Other comprehensive (loss) income in its Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company discloses significant amounts reclassified from each component of AOCI, the related tax amounts and the income statement line items affected by such reclassifications. See Note 23 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Income taxes and uncertain tax positions: The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year and the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying the recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company determines whether the benefits of tax positions are probable or more likely than not sustained upon audit based upon the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. Additionally, the Company monitors and adjusts for derecognition, classification, and penalties and interest in interim periods, with appropriate disclosure and transition thereto. Also, the amount of interest expense and income related to uncertain tax positions is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized, including timing differences, and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Finally, when applicable, the Company nets its liability for unrecognized tax benefits against deferred tax assets related to net operating losses or other tax credit carryforwards that would apply if the uncertain tax position were settled for the presumed amount at the balance sheet date. Pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”), specifically the one-time tax on deemed repatriation (the “Transition Tax”), the Company has provided for U.S. income tax on its undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, however, the Company is subject to and will incur other taxes, such as withholding taxes and dividend distribution taxes, if these undistributed earnings were ultimately remitted to the U.S. The Company currently intends to reinvest its future undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to support working capital needs and certain other growth initiatives of those subsidiaries. However, in certain cases the Company has and may in the future change its indefinite reinvestment assertion for any or all of these undistributed earnings. In this case, the Company would estimate and record a tax liability and corresponding tax expense for the amount of non-U.S. income taxes it would incur to ultimately remit these earnings to the U.S. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives: The Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in commodity prices and credit risk. Historically, the Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to enhance its ability to manage risk, including exposure to variability in interest payments associated with its variable rate debt. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. In October 2022, the Company’s interest rate swap contracts expired. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not entered into any similar interest rate swap contracts. The Company previously recorded these instruments on a net basis within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the agreement was recorded in AOCI and was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when cash was paid from the counterparties. See Note 25 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value measurements: The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. See Notes 21 and 24 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following is a brief description of those three levels: •Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. •Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions. Share-based compensation: The Company recognizes the fair value of share-based compensation as a component of expense. The Company has a long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) for key employees which provides for the granting of options to purchase stock at prices not less than its market value on the date of the grant. Most options become exercisable within three years after the date of the grant for a period of time determined by the Company, but not to exceed seven years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units issued under the LTIP program are subject to time vesting generally over a one to three year period. In addition, as part of the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan, nonvested shares may be issued to key employees, which generally would vest over a two to five year period. In addition, while the Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for service condition aspects of certain share-based awards, the Company has decided not to elect this accounting policy and instead has elected to continue utilizing a forfeiture rate assumption. Based on historical experience, the Company generally has assumed a forfeiture rate of 13% on certain of its nonvested stock awards. The Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated. The Company also issues performance-dependent stock awards as a component of its LTIP. The fair value of the performance-dependent stock awards is based on their grant-date market value adjusted for the likelihood of attaining certain predetermined performance goals and is calculated by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, generally three years. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Earnings per share: The Company calculates earnings per share for nonvested stock awards with rights to non-forfeitable dividends, which requires nonvested stock awards with rights to non-forfeitable dividends to be included as part of the basic weighted average share calculation under the two-class method. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Hyper-inflationary accounting: Economies that have a cumulative three year rate of inflation exceeding 100% are considered hyper-inflationary. A legal entity that operates within an economy deemed to be hyper-inflationary is required to remeasure its monetary assets and liabilities to the applicable published exchange rates and record the associated gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement directly to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Argentina’s and Türkiye’s economies were considered hyper-inflationary effective July 1, 2018 and April 1, 2022, respectively. As of, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's Argentine and Turkish subsidiaries represented a combined 1% and 2% of the Company’s consolidated total assets and net sales, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $1.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, of remeasurement losses associated with the applicable currency conversions related to Argentina and Türkiye. These losses were recorded within foreign exchange losses, net, which is a component of Other (expense) income, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Business combinations: The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant estimates and assumptions. Based on the assessment of additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Restructuring activities: Restructuring programs consist of employee severance, rationalization of manufacturing or other facilities and other related items. To account for such programs, the Company recognizes a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity, when the liability is incurred, is estimable, and payment is probable. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Reclassifications: Certain information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Segments	Segments: The Company’s operating segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the Company’s internal organization, the method by which the Company’s resources are allocated and the manner by which the chief operating decision maker assesses the Company’s performance. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company reorganized its executive management team to align with its new business structure. The Company’s new structure includes three reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia/Pacific. Prior to the Company’s reorganization, the Company’s historical reportable segments were: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; (iii) Asia/Pacific; and (iv) Global Specialty Businesses. Prior period segment financial information has been recast to align with segment change, including reportable segments and customer industry disaggregation. See Notes 2, 4, 5, and 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation: All majority-owned subsidiaries are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with appropriate elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. Investments in associated companies (less than majority-owned and in which the Company has significant influence) are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s share of net income or losses in these investments in associated companies is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairments and, if necessary, would adjust these investments to their fair value when a decline in market value or other impairment indicators are deemed to be other than temporary.
Equity method investments	Investments in associated companies (less than majority-owned and in which the Company has significant influence) are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s share of net income or losses in these investments in associated companies is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairments and, if necessary, would adjust these investments to their fair value when a decline in market value or other impairment indicators are deemed to be other than temporary.
Consolidation, variable interest entity	The Company is not the primary beneficiary of any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and therefore the Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of any VIEs.
Translation of foreign currency	Translation of foreign currency: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries and associated companies are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the year. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded directly in equity as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) and will be included as income or expense only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying entity or asset. Generally, all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents: The Company invests temporary and excess funds in money market securities and financial instruments having maturities within 90 days. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced losses from the aforementioned investments.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses	Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses: Trade accounts receivable subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses, which represents the portion of the receivable that the Company does not expect to collect over its contractual life, considering past events and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on its trade accounts receivable is based on specific collectability facts and circumstances for each outstanding receivable and customer, the aging of outstanding receivables, and the associated collection risk the Company estimates for certain past due aging categories, and also, the general risk to all outstanding accounts receivable based on historical amounts determined to be uncollectible. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Inventories	Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and are valued using the first-in, first-out method.
Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities	Right of use lease assets and lease liabilities: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of, and obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of, the underlying asset. Lease expense for variable leases and short-term leases is recognized when the obligation is incurred. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by an option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise. Operating leases are included in right of use lease assets, other accrued liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Right of use lease assets and liabilities are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present value of its lease payments over its respective lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses the stated borrowing rate for a lease when readily determinable. When a stated borrowing rate is not available in a lease agreement, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. In determining the incremental borrowing rate used to present value each of its leases, the Company considers certain information including fully secured borrowing rates readily available to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company includes finance leases in Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Long-lived assets	Long-lived assets: PP&E is stated at gross cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method on an individual asset basis over the following estimated useful lives: buildings and improvements, 10 to 33 years, or the remaining term of the lease; and machinery and equipment, 4 to 10 years, or the remaining term of the lease. The carrying values of long-lived assets are evaluated whenever changes in circumstances or current events indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An estimate of undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate group of assets, is compared with the carrying value to determine whether an impairment exists. If necessary, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value. Fair value is based on current and anticipated future cash flows. Upon sale or other dispositions of long-lived assets, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposals, is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenditures for renewals or improvements that increase the estimated useful life or capacity of the assets are capitalized, whereas expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred
Capitalized software	Capitalized software: The Company capitalizes certain costs in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use, depending on the associated project. These costs are amortized over a period of 3 to 5 years once the assets are ready for their intended use.
Goodwill and other intangible assets	Goodwill and other intangible assets: The Company records goodwill, definite-lived intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets at fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually. These tests will be performed more frequently if triggering events indicate potential impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from 3 to 24 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets, consistent with the discussion of long-lived assets, above.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services transferred to its customers. To do this, the Company applies a five-step model, which requires the Company to: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company identifies a contract with a customer when a sales agreement indicates approval and commitment of the parties; identifies the rights of the parties; identifies the payment terms; has commercial substance; and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. The Company identifies a performance obligation in a contract for each promised good or service that is separately identifiable from other obligations in the contract and for which the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company determines the transaction price as the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for fulfilling the performance obligations, including the effects of any variable consideration, significant financing elements, amounts payable to the customer or noncash consideration. For any contracts that have more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. In accordance with the last step of the five-step model, the Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies the performance obligation in a contract by transferring control of a promised good or providing the service to the customer. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time for product sales, generally when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, depending on the terms underlying each arrangement. In circumstances where the Company’s products are on consignment, revenue is generally recognized upon usage or consumption by the customer. For any FluidcareTM or other services provided by the Company to the customer, the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time, as the promised services are performed. The Company uses input methods to recognize revenue over time related to these services, including labor costs and time incurred. The Company believes that these input methods represent the most indicative measure of the FluidcareTM or other service work performed by the Company. The Company does not have standard payment terms for all customers, however the Company’s general payment terms require customers to pay for products or services provided after the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company does not have significant financing arrangements with its customers. Therefore, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. In addition, the Company expenses costs to obtain a contract as incurred when the expected period of benefit, and therefore the amortization period, is one year or less. In addition, the Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, value added, excise and various other taxes. Lastly, the Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment cost, rather than an additional promised service. The Company does not have significant amounts of variable consideration in its contracts with customers and where applicable, the Company’s estimates of variable consideration are not constrained. The Company records certain third-party license fees in other income (expense), net, in its Consolidated Statement of Operations, which generally include sales-based royalties in exchange for the license of intellectual property. These license fees are recognized in accordance with their agreed-upon terms and when performance obligations are satisfied, which is generally when the third party has a subsequent sale. The Company recognizes a contract asset or receivable on its Consolidated Balance Sheet when the Company performs a service or transfers a good in advance of receiving consideration. A receivable is the Company’s right to consideration that is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. A contract asset is the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer. A contract liability is recognized when the Company receives consideration, or if it has the unconditional right to receive consideration, in advance of performance. A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration, or a specified amount of consideration is due, from the customer.
Research and development costs	Research and development costs: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”).
Environmental liabilities and expenditures	Environmental liabilities and expenditures: Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of estimated liability and no amount in that range is considered more probable than another, then the Company records the lowest amount in the range. Environmental costs and remediation costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life, increase the capacity or improve safety or efficiency of the property from the date acquired or constructed, and/or mitigate or prevent contamination in the future.
Asset retirement obligations	Asset retirement obligations: The Company assesses whether it has legal or conditional obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, including any legal obligations that require disposal of a replaced part that is a component of a tangible long-lived asset. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no significant exposure or liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pension and other postretirement benefits	Pension and other postretirement benefits: The Company maintains various noncontributory retirement plans, covering a portion of its employees in the U.S. and certain other countries, including the Netherlands, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Mexico, Sweden, Germany and France. The plans of the remaining non-U.S. subsidiaries are, for the most part, either fully insured or integrated with the local governments’ plans. The Company recognizes on a prospective basis the funded status of the defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and, also, recognize as a component of AOCI, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. In addition, the Company recognizes a settlement charge in its Consolidated Statements of Operations when certain events occur, including plan termination or the settlement of certain plan liabilities. A settlement charge represents the immediate recognition into expense of a portion of the unrecognized loss within AOCI on the balance sheet in proportion to the share of the projected benefit obligation that was settled. The measurement date for the Company’s postretirement benefits plan is December 31. The Company’s global pension investment policies are designed to ensure that pension assets are invested in a manner consistent with meeting the future benefit obligations of the pension plans and maintaining compliance with various laws and regulations including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company establishes strategic asset allocation percentage targets and benchmarks for significant asset classes with the aim of achieving a prudent balance between return and risk. The Company’s investment horizon is generally long term, and, accordingly, the target asset allocations encompass a long-term perspective of capital markets, expected risk and return and perceived future economic conditions while also considering the profile of plan liabilities. To the extent feasible, the short-term investment portfolio is managed to match the short-term obligations, the intermediate portfolio duration is matched to reduce the risk of volatility in intermediate plan distributions, and the total return portfolio is managed to maximize the long-term real growth of plan assets. The critical investment principles of diversification, assessment of risk and targeting the optimal expected returns for given levels of risk are applied. The Company’s investment guidelines prohibit the use of securities such as letter stock and other unregistered securities, commodities or commodity contracts, short sales, margin transactions, private placements (unless specifically addressed by addendum), or any derivatives, options or futures for the purpose of portfolio leveraging. The target asset allocation is reviewed periodically and is determined based on a long-term projection of capital market outcomes, inflation rates, fixed income yields, returns, volatilities and correlation relationships. The interaction between plan assets and benefit obligations is periodically studied to assist in establishing such strategic asset allocation targets. Asset performance is monitored with an overall expectation that plan assets will meet or exceed benchmark performance over rolling five year periods. The Company’s pension committee, as authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), has discretion to manage the assets within established asset allocation ranges approved by senior management of the Company. See Note 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Comprehensive income (loss)	Comprehensive income (loss): The Company presents Other comprehensive (loss) income in its Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company discloses significant amounts reclassified from each component of AOCI, the related tax amounts and the income statement line items affected by such reclassifications.
Income taxes and uncertain tax positions	Income taxes and uncertain tax positions: The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year and the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying the recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company determines whether the benefits of tax positions are probable or more likely than not sustained upon audit based upon the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not determined to be more likely than not sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. Additionally, the Company monitors and adjusts for derecognition, classification, and penalties and interest in interim periods, with appropriate disclosure and transition thereto. Also, the amount of interest expense and income related to uncertain tax positions is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized, including timing differences, and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Finally, when applicable, the Company nets its liability for unrecognized tax benefits against deferred tax assets related to net operating losses or other tax credit carryforwards that would apply if the uncertain tax position were settled for the presumed amount at the balance sheet date.Pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Reform”), specifically the one-time tax on deemed repatriation (the “Transition Tax”), the Company has provided for U.S. income tax on its undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries, however, the Company is subject to and will incur other taxes, such as withholding taxes and dividend distribution taxes, if these undistributed earnings were ultimately remitted to the U.S. The Company currently intends to reinvest its future undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to support working capital needs and certain other growth initiatives of those subsidiaries. However, in certain cases the Company has and may in the future change its indefinite reinvestment assertion for any or all of these undistributed earnings. In this case, the Company would estimate and record a tax liability and corresponding tax expense for the amount of non-U.S. income taxes it would incur to ultimately remit these earnings to the U.S.
Derivatives	Derivatives: The Company is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in commodity prices and credit risk. Historically, the Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to enhance its ability to manage risk, including exposure to variability in interest payments associated with its variable rate debt. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. In October 2022, the Company’s interest rate swap contracts expired. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not entered into any similar interest rate swap contracts. The Company previously recorded these instruments on a net basis within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the agreement was recorded in AOCI and was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when cash was paid from the counterparties.
Fair value measurements	Fair value measurements: The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. See Notes 21 and 24 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following is a brief description of those three levels: •Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. •Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation: The Company recognizes the fair value of share-based compensation as a component of expense. The Company has a long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) for key employees which provides for the granting of options to purchase stock at prices not less than its market value on the date of the grant. Most options become exercisable within three years after the date of the grant for a period of time determined by the Company, but not to exceed seven years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units issued under the LTIP program are subject to time vesting generally over a one to three year period. In addition, as part of the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan, nonvested shares may be issued to key employees, which generally would vest over a two to five year period. In addition, while the Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur for service condition aspects of certain share-based awards, the Company has decided not to elect this accounting policy and instead has elected to continue utilizing a forfeiture rate assumption. Based on historical experience, the Company generally has assumed a forfeiture rate of 13% on certain of its nonvested stock awards. The Company will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than estimated. The Company also issues performance-dependent stock awards as a component of its LTIP. The fair value of the performance-dependent stock awards is based on their grant-date market value adjusted for the likelihood of attaining certain predetermined performance goals and is calculated by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, generally three years.
Earnings per share	Earnings per share: The Company calculates earnings per share for nonvested stock awards with rights to non-forfeitable dividends, which requires nonvested stock awards with rights to non-forfeitable dividends to be included as part of the basic weighted average share calculation under the two-class method.
Hyper-inflationary accounting	Hyper-inflationary accounting: Economies that have a cumulative three year rate of inflation exceeding 100% are considered hyper-inflationary. A legal entity that operates within an economy deemed to be hyper-inflationary is required to remeasure its monetary assets and liabilities to the applicable published exchange rates and record the associated gains or losses resulting from the remeasurement directly to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Business combinations	Business combinations: The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires significant estimates and assumptions. Based on the assessment of additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Restructuring activities	Restructuring activities: Restructuring programs consist of employee severance, rationalization of manufacturing or other facilities and other related items. To account for such programs, the Company recognizes a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity, when the liability is incurred, is estimable, and payment is probable.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications: Certain information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounting estimates	Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted The FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting in March 2020. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021, which clarified the guidance, and ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Neither ASU materially changed the guidance or its applicability to the Company. The amendments provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential accounting and financial reporting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). ASU 2020-04 is effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2024. On June 17, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its primary credit facility, which, among other things, provided for the use of a USD currency LIBOR successor rate (the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”)). See Note 20 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investments in Associated Companies

As of December 31, 2022, the Company held a 50% investment in and had significant influence over Nippon Quaker Chemical, Ltd. (“Nippon Japan”), Kelko Quaker Chemical, S.A. (“Kelko Panama”) and Houghton Korea, and held a 32% investment in and had significant influence over Primex, Ltd. (“Primex”).

The carrying amount of the Company’s equity investments as of December 31, 2022 was $88.2 million, which includes investments of $62.9 million in Houghton Korea; $18.1 million in Primex; $6.6 million in Nippon Japan; and $0.6 million in Kelko Panama.

The Company also has a 50% equity interest in Kelko Venezuela. Due to heightened foreign exchange controls, deteriorating economic circumstances and other restrictions in Venezuela, during 2018 the Company concluded that it no longer had significant influence over this affiliate. Prior to this determination, the Company historically accounted for this affiliate under the equity method. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no remaining carrying value for its investment in Kelko Venezuela.

The following table is a summary of equity income in associated companies by investment for the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Hedging Activities

In order to satisfy certain requirements of the Original Credit Facility as well as to manage the Company’s exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility, in November 2019, the Company entered into $170.0 million notional amounts of three year interest rate swaps. See Note 20 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and, as such, the contracts were marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses were included in AOCI to the extent effective and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the transaction effects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

In June 2022, the Company amended the Original Credit Facility. See Note 20 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Amended Credit Facility does not require the Company to fix variable interest rates on any portion of its borrowings. In October 2022, the Company’s interest rate swap contracts expired. Upon expiration, the Company received a cash payment from the counterparties for approximately $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not entered into any similar interest rate swap contracts.

The balance sheet classification and fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments, which are Level 2 measurements, are as follows:


		Fair Value
Derivatives designed as Cash flow hedges:	Consolidated Balance Sheet Location	December 31,
		2022		2021
Interest rate swaps	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	—	$	—
	Other non-current liabilities	—		1,782
		$	—	$	1,782

The following table presents the net unrealized loss deferred to AOCI:

The following table presents the net loss reclassified from AOCI to earnings:

Amount and location of expense reclassified from AOCI into expense (Effective Portion)	Interest expense, net	$	—	$	(2,649)	$	(1,754)

Prior to expiration in October 2022, interest rate swaps were entered into with a limited number of counterparties, each of which allowed for net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of a default on or termination of any one contract. As such, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, these derivative instruments were recorded on a net basis within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
