 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME 
                
1)For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2023, October 1, 2023, and December 31, 2022 each consisted of 91 days, 91 days and 90 days, respectively. The twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 each consisted of 365 days, respectively.
                
2)On a regular basis the Company reviews its segments and the approach used by the chief decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, in Q1 2023, the Company realigned its business reporting structure into two segments, Consumer & Specialties and Engineered Solutions.
 
The Consumer & Specialties segment provides technologically enhanced products to consumer-driven end markets, including mineral-to-shelf household products, as well as specialty additives that become functional components in a variety of consumer and industrial goods. This segment includes two product lines: Household & Personal Care and Specialty Additives. The Engineered Solutions segment provides advanced process technologies and solutions that are designed to improve our customers’ manufacturing processes and projects. This segment includes two product lines: High-Temperature Technologies and Environmental & Infrastructure.
 
We believe the new structure better aligns our businesses and technologies with our customers and end markets and creates a more efficient and effective management structure that reflects the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated.
                
 For historical consolidated financial information based upon the new segment reporting structure, please see the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2023.
                
3)To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2023, October 1, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

 In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of assets charge of $71.7 million associated with the Chapter 11 filing of Barretts Minerals Inc. within the Consumer & Specialties segment.
                
 In the second quarter of 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring and cost savings program to further streamline our cost structure as a result of organizational efficiencies gained through our recent resegmentation. Accordingly, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $6.9 million related to severance and other costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
                
 Included in litigation expenses for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded incremental litigation costs of $29.2 million to defend against, opportunistically settle, and restore our reserve for claims associated with certain talc products from our Barretts Minerals Inc. subsidiary. Included in litigation expenses for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2022 are costs of $32.6 million, incurred to defend against, opportunistically settle, and establish a reserve for claims associated with certain talc products from our Barretts Minerals Inc. subsidiary.
                
4)Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2023, October 1, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

5)To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's year over year sales growth, excluding the sales of Barretts Minerals Inc. for the three months ended December 31, 2022, constituting a reconciliation to GAAP sales growth set forth below. On October 2, 2023, Barretts Minerals Inc. filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and as such the results of Barretts Minerals are not included the the Company's consolidated results for the fourth quarter of 2023. Barretts Minerals sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $12.0 million. The Company's management feels this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and facilitates investors' understanding of sales trends for the fourth quarter of 2023.

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP operating income. This excludes special items (set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2023, October 1, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income set forth above. The Company's management believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.
