During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Grace implemented changes to its Refining Technologies manufacturing operations to improve capital and operating efficiencies. This included key organizational changes and optimization of plant and manufacturing processes at Grace’s three hydroprocessing catalyst manufacturing sites. As a result of these changes, Grace recorded a pre-tax charge of $19.7 million related to a write-off of inventory now deemed obsolete based on the process changes.
