(1) Primarily represents costs associated with contract terminations, plant and equipment decommissioning charges and other miscellaneous exit costs.
(2) Primarily represents property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible asset write-downs, accelerated depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges on certain assets, which were or are to be disposed of or abandoned. Also included, to the extent incurred, the acceleration effect of re-estimating settlement dates and revised cost estimates associated with asset retirement obligations related to asset disposal charges that are included within restructuring charges.
(3) During 2024 and 2025, we took further steps to streamline our cost structure and improve profitability, resulting in additional restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of $9.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively.

Performance Chemicals Repositioning
On November 1, 2023, we announced a number of strategic actions designed to reposition our Performance Chemicals reportable segment to improve profitability and reduce the cyclicality of the company as a whole. These actions increased our focus on growing our most profitable Performance Chemicals product lines, such as road technologies, and diversifying our raw material stream to non-CTO based fatty acids. The repositioning focused on reducing exposure to lower margin end-use markets of our industrial specialties product line, such as adhesives, publication inks, and oilfield, representing approximately 45 percent of our industrial specialties product line historical annualized net sales. The repositioning included the closure of the
Performance Chemicals CTO refinery and manufacturing plant located in DeRidder, Louisiana (the “DeRidder Plant”), including the polyol production assets associated with the Advanced Polymer Technologies ("APT") reportable segment. All production at the DeRidder Plant ceased in the first quarter of 2024. The Performance Chemicals repositioning initiative included additional corporate and business cost reduction actions executed in November 2023.
Additionally, in July 2024, we announced plans to transition the refining of oleo-based products manufactured for the Performance Chemicals reportable segment from our Crossett, Arkansas manufacturing plant (the “Crossett Facility”) to our North Charleston, South Carolina manufacturing plant. This action included the closure of the Crossett Facility, as well as additional corporate and business cost reduction actions. We ceased production at the Crossett Facility in the third quarter of 2024.
The actions referenced above, when combined with other targeted workforce reduction initiatives during 2024 and 2023, resulted in the reduction of Ingevity's global workforce by 23 percent. Specific to Performance Chemicals, the reduction represented approximately 40 percent of the reportable segment's workforce.
Expected Charges
We expect to incur aggregate charges of approximately $365 million, excluding the CTO resale activity as described below, associated with the Performance Chemicals repositioning, consisting of approximately $255 million in asset-related charges, approximately $25 million in severance and other employee-related costs, and approximately $85 million in other restructuring costs, including decommissioning, dismantling and removal charges, and contract termination costs.
Through June 30, 2025, we have incurred $335.1 million associated with these actions, including $248.0 million of non-cash asset-related charges, and $87.1 million of charges to be settled in cash. As of June 30, 2025, $71.1 million of the charges to be settled in cash have been paid and all non-cash charges have been incurred. In total, we expect approximately $110 million of cash charges, including approximately$10 to $15 million during the remainder of 2025.
The charges we currently expect to incur in connection with these actions are subject to a number of assumptions and risks, and actual results may differ materially. We may also incur other material charges not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or in connection with, these actions.
Inventory Charges
The company believes the collective actions of workforce, operational, and regional business exits hindered our ability to dispose of the associated inventory on hand. As a result, we recorded zero and $2.5 million of non-cash, lower of cost or market, inventory charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. These charges were made to adjust the carrying value of the affected inventory to its estimated realizable value, net of disposal costs, and are recorded to "Cost of sales" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Since these inventory charges are directly attributable to the Performance Chemicals repositioning, that is, they do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate our business, we have excluded such impact from the financial results of our Performance Chemicals reportable segment. Refer to Note 14 for more information.
CTO Resale Activity
The CTO resale activity described below ended in 2024 and no excess CTO volumes were on hand at June 30, 2025. The DeRidder Plant closure, and the corresponding reduction in CTO refining capacity, significantly reduced our CTO volume requirements. However, we were obligated, under an existing CTO supply contract, to purchase CTO volumes through 2025 at amounts in excess of the CTO volumes needed to support our business operations. To manage this excess inventory, we sold CTO volumes (herein referred to as "CTO resales") in the open market. For the three and six months ended June 30 2024, we incurred $23.5 million and $50.0 million, respectively, of CTO resale losses, which are recorded as "Other (income) expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On July 1, 2024, the CTO supply contract that resulted in these excess CTO volumes was terminated. As consideration for the termination of the CTO supply contract, we made cash payments totaling $100.0 million during 2024. The charge was recorded within "Other (income) expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the termination, the purchases under the CTO supply contract ended effective June 30, 2024.

North Charleston plant transition
Our North Charleston, South Carolina Performance Chemicals manufacturing plant has historically been co-located with a WestRock Company (“WestRock”) paper mill. In May 2023, WestRock announced that it would permanently cease operating its North Charleston paper mill by August 31, 2023 and notified us that it was terminating the shared services in accordance with our operating agreement. WestRock ceased production at their North Charleston paper mill in June 2023. During 2023, we executed a transition plan, which was completed in 2024, to separate certain critical operating services WestRock had historically provided to us such as steam, water and wastewater treatment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred charges of $3.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
