Note A. Organization, Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Orion S.A.’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Orion S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Orion” or the “Company”). The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of our results for the interim periods presented. These statements contain some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes—In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU:

•Establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements.

•Requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation.

•Requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s information on income taxes paid.

•Requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold.

•Is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

We believe, the adoption of this ASU will not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, however will require additional disclosures in future Annual Reports.

Segment—In November 2023, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment. This ASU:

•Introduces a new requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”),

•Extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods,

•Permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and

•Requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. However, but does not change how the CODM is identified.

•This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.

We believe, the adoption of this ASU will not materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, however will require additional segment disclosures in future periods.

Note E. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurement

Risk management

We have policies governing the use of derivative instruments and do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

By using derivative instruments, we are subject to credit and market risk. To minimize counterparty credit (or repayment) risk, we enter into transactions primarily with investment grade financial institutions. The market risk exposure is not hedged in a manner to completely eliminate the effects of changing market conditions on earnings or cash flow.

No significant concentration of credit risk existed as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Fair value measurement

The following table summarizes outstanding financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023				Balance Sheet Classification
	Notional Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value
	(In millions)
Assets
Derivatives designated as hedges:
Cross currency swaps	$	197.0	$	37.8	$	197.0	$	31.3	Other financial assets (non-current)
Interest rate swaps	294.4		0.6		303.9		4.6		Other financial assets (non-current)
Total	$	491.4	$	38.4	$	500.9	$	35.9

All financial instruments in the table above are classified as Level 2. We present the gross assets and liabilities of our derivative financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For financial assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers of assets measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 and there were no Level 3 investments during 2024 or 2023.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented. Short-term and Long-term debt are recorded at amortized cost in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Notional Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount		Fair Value

China Term-Loan	56.8		57.1		58.6		57.1
Total	$	669.7	$	663.4	$	683.5	$	674.1

The Term-Loan and China Term-Loan in the table above are classified as Level 2.

At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short term borrowings and variable rate debt approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The following tables summarize the pre-tax effect of derivative and non-derivative instruments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), the gains (losses) reclassified from AOCI to earnings and additional gains (losses) recognized directly in earnings:

Note H. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing Net income attributable to Orion by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS equals Net income attributable to Orion divided by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of our stock–based and other equity compensation awards.

The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Diluted EPS	$	0.35	$	0.51	$	0.80	$	1.20

Note I. Income Taxes

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

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9.1 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $22.6 million and $36.1 million, respectively.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)

Our effective income tax rates were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Effective income tax rates	31.0	%	37.3	%	32.5	%	33.4	%

The change in our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax income mix in countries with varying statutory tax rates.

Note J. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments—In the second quarter of 2024, we invested in Alpha Carbone (“AC”), a French tire recycling company. This partnership will enable AC to produce commercial volumes of tire pyrolysis oil and recovered carbon black. In addition, we entered in a long-term supply agreement for the tire pyrolysis oil produced by AC. The tire pyrolysis oil will be used to manufacture circular carbon black for tire and rubber goods customers.

We invested approximately $0.3 million (€0.3 million) in shares of AC and $0.7 million (€0.7 million) in a convertible bond. We agreed to contribute an additional $6.4 million (€6.0 million) in convertible bonds to be paid in 12 installments through 2025.

Legal Proceedings—We are subject to various lawsuits and claims including, but not limited to, matters involving contract disputes, environmental damages, personal injury and property damage. We vigorously defend ourselves and prosecute these matters as appropriate. We regularly assess the adequacy of legal accruals based on our professional judgment, experience and the information available regarding our cases.

The outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, and we offer no assurances as to the outcome of any of these matters or their effect on the Company.

Based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against us will have a material adverse effect upon our operations, financial condition or the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pledges and guarantees

The Company has pledged the majority of its assets (amongst others shares in affiliates, bank accounts and receivables) within the different regions in which it operates excluding China as collateral under its debt agreements. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had guarantees totaling $26.9 million issued by various financial institutions.

Note K. Financial Information by Segment

Segment information

We disclose the results of each of our operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We manage our business in two operating segments as follows:

•Rubber Carbon Black—Used in the reinforcement of rubber in tires and mechanical rubber goods, and

•Specialty Carbon Black—Used for protection, colorization and conductivity in coatings, polymers, batteries, printing and other special applications.

Corporate includes income and expenses that cannot be directly allocated to the business segments or that are managed at the corporate level. This includes finance income and expenses, taxes and items with less bearing on the underlying core business.

Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and the CODM uses operating results of each operating segment for performance evaluation and resource allocation.

Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure for reviewing our segment profitability. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as restructuring expenses, legal settlements gains, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax.

The CODM does not review reportable segment asset or liability information for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations and financial condition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the information included under Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Unaudited) elsewhere in this report. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or the accounting standards of any other jurisdiction and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures, see section Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Gross profit per metric ton, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Working Capital, Capital Expenditures and Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin (in percentage).

We define:

•Gross profit per metric ton—Gross profit divided by volume measured in metric tons.

•Adjusted EBITDA—Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as, restructuring expenses, legal settlement gain, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax.

•Net Working Capital—Inventories, net plus Accounts receivable, net minus Accounts payable.

•Capital Expenditures—Cash paid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

•Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin (in percentage)—Segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate our operating performance and to make decisions regarding allocation of capital, because it excludes the effects of items that have less bearing on the performance of our underlying core business. We use this measure, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing our business. We believe these measures are useful measures of financial performance in addition to Net income, Income from operations and other profitability measures under GAAP, because they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures and taxation positions or regimes, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful additional basis for evaluating and comparing the current performance of the underlying operations. In addition, we believe these non-GAAP measures aid investors by providing additional insight into our operational performance and help clarify trends affecting our business.

However, other companies and analysts may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, so making comparisons among companies on this basis should be done carefully. Non-GAAP measures are not performance measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for Net sales, Net income, Income from operations, Gross profit and other GAAP measures as an indicator of our operations in accordance with GAAP.

Net sales

Volume for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased in aggregate by 5.8 kmt to 233.1 kmt, year over year, due to higher volume in Specialty Carbon Black segment.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $18.2 million, or 4.0%, to $477.0 million, year over year, primarily driven by higher volume in Specialty Carbon Black segment, the pass-through effect from higher oil prices and improved contractual pricing. Those were partially offset by unfavorable currency translation.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $25.5 million, or 7.5%, to $367.2 million year over year, primarily due to higher volume in Specialty Black Carbon segment and higher oil prices.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $7.3 million, or 6.2%, to $109.8 million, year over year. The decrease was driven primarily by favorable impact from the pass-through of raw material costs in the prior year, higher fixed costs and lower cogeneration.

Gross profit per metric ton decreased by 8.6% to $471.0, year over year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $5.3 million, or 9.6% to $60.3 million, year over year, driven by higher freight and personnel costs.

Provision for income taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company recognized Income before earnings in affiliated companies and income taxes of $29.4 million, compared to $47.7 million, respectively. The provision for income taxes was an expense of $9.1 million and $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was 31.0% and 37.3%, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared

to the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to changes in projected pre-tax income mix in countries with varying statutory tax rates.

Adjusted EBITDA (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

Adjusted EBITDA decreased in the second quarter of 2024 by $12.2 million, or 14.0%, to $75.1 million, year over year.

The decrease was driven by favorable impact from the pass-through of raw material costs in the prior year, higher fixed costs and lower cogeneration. Those were partially offset by higher Specialty Carbon Black volume and improved contractual pricing.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income decreased in the second quarter of 2024 by $11.9 million to $11.1 million, year over year. The components of Comprehensive income are discussed below:

Net income decreased by $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023.

The activities from the components of Other Comprehensive income are discussed below:

•$3.1 million of net unfavorable impact is related to unrealized loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, and

•$0.8 million of net unfavorable impact is related to financial derivative instruments primarily driven by net periodic changes in cross currency and interest rate swaps, partially offset by

•$1.6 million of net favorable impact is related to changes in defined pension and other post-retirement benefits.

Net sales

Volume increased by 20.7 kmt to 481.5 kmt compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher volume in Specialty Carbon Black segment.

Net sales increased by $20.4 million, or 2.1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $979.9 million, year over year, primarily driven by higher volume in Specialty Carbon Black segment and improved contractual pricing. This was partially offset by the pass-through effect of lower raw material costs and lower cogeneration.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased by $41.9 million, or 5.9%, to $747.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher Specialty Carbon Black segment volume and associated costs.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased by $21.5 million, or 8.5%, to $232.0 million, and gross profit per metric ton decreased by 12.4% to $481.8 year over year. The decrease was primarily driven by higher fixed costs, favorable impact from the pass-through of raw material costs in the prior year and lower cogeneration.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.1 million, or 8.1%, to $121.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher freight and personnel costs.

Provision for income taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized Income before earnings in affiliated companies and income taxes of $69.5 million, compared to $108.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The provision for income taxes was an expense of $22.6 million and $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was 32.5%, as compared to 33.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to changes in

projected pre-tax income mix in countries with varying statutory tax rates.

Adjusted EBITDA (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $28.0 million, or 14.9%, from $188.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $160.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to favorable impact from the pass-through of raw material costs in the prior year, higher fixed costs and lower cogeneration. Those were partially offset by higher Specialty Carbon Black volume and improved contractual pricing.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income decreased by $23.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net income decreased by $25.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The activities from the components of Other Comprehensive income are discussed below:

•$2.2 million of net unfavorable impact is related to unrealized loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments.

•$0.5 million of net favorable impacts is related to financial derivative instruments primarily driven by net periodic changes in cross currency and interest rate swaps, and

•$3.1 million of net favorable changes is related to defined pension and other post-retirement benefits.

Segment Discussion

Our operations are managed through two reportable segments, Specialty Carbon Black and Rubber Carbon Black. We use Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the measure of segment performance and profitability.

The table below presents our segment results derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical Cash Flows

The tables below present our historical cash flows derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated.

2024

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $61.7 million. The cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects changes in working capital. Change in working capital includes $218.4 million sale of certain accounts receivables, discussed in Note B. Accounts Receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $87.8 million. The expenditures were primarily

related to safety, maintenance and growth investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $23.5 million. These inflows primarily consisted of $52.7 million related to other short-term debt borrowings, partially offset by $17.7 million, net related to repayment of our ancillary credit facilities.

2023

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $206.2 million. The cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects changes in working capital and higher Net income. Change in working capital includes $194.1 million sale of certain accounts receivables, discussed in Note B. Accounts Receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $69.1 million. These expenditures were comprised of a combination of safety, maintenance-related and growth investments, as well as $19.4 million of expenditures associated with our, now completed, installation of emissions reduction technology to meet EPA requirements in the U.S.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $120.7 million. These outflows primarily consisted of $62.8 million related to the reduction of other short-term debt, $49.5 million for repurchase of common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program and $12.0 million, net related to repayment of our ancillary credit facilities.

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are the net cash generated (i) from operating activities, primarily driven by our operating results and changes in working capital requirements and (ii) from financing activities, primarily driven by borrowing amounts available under our committed multicurrency, senior secured revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) and related ancillary facilities, various uncommitted local credit lines, and, from time to time, term loan borrowings and Accounts receivable factoring.

We believe our anticipated future operating cash flows, the capacity under our existing credit facilities and uncommitted bilateral lines of credit, along with access to surety bonds, will be sufficient to finance our planned Capital expenditures, settle our commitments and contingencies, and address our normal anticipated working capital needs for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2024, the company had total liquidity of $229.2 million, including cash and equivalents of $34.2 million, $157.4 million availability under our revolving credit facility, including ancillary lines, and $37.6 million of capacity under other available credit lines. Net debt was $803.5 million, and Net leverage was 2.64x.

Net working capital (A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

We define Net working capital as the sum total of current Accounts receivable, net and Inventories, net less Accounts payable. Net working capital is a non-GAAP financial measure and other companies may use a similarly titled financial measure that is calculated differently from the way we calculate Net working capital. The following table sets forth the principal components of our Net working capital as of the dates indicated.


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
	(In millions)
Accounts receivable, net	$	272.2	$	241.0
Inventories, net	284.5		287.1
Accounts payable	(186.2)		(183.7)
Net working capital	$	370.5	$	344.4

Our Net working capital position can vary significantly from month to month, mainly due to fluctuations in oil prices and receipts of carbon black oil shipments. In general, increases in the cost of raw materials lead to an increase in our Net working capital requirements, as our inventories and trade receivables increase as a result of higher carbon black oil prices and related sales levels. These increases are partially offset by related increases in trade payables. Due to the quantity of carbon black oil that we typically keep in stock, such increases in Net working capital occur gradually over a period of two to three months. Conversely, decreases in the cost of raw materials lead to a decrease in our Net working capital requirements over the same period of time.

Our Net working capital increased from $344.4 million as of December 31, 2023, to $370.5 million as of June 30, 2024. The primary driver of the changes in working capital over the period was due to an increase in Accounts receivable, net. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales, partially offset by improved payment terms.

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