Restructuring and Other Items [Abstract]

Restructuring and Other Items

Note 5.  Restructuring and Other Items

In 2025, the Company initiated a cost savings program, primarily through workforce reductions and recorded a charge of $5.5 million for severance and other related costs associated with this program. Additionally, the Company recorded $9.5 million of restructuring and other items for the write-down of assets and other charges relating to the consolidation and shutdown of facilities.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $71.7 million non-cash impairment of long-lived assets charge related to its subsidiaries BMI Oldco Inc. (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) ("Oldco") and Barretts Ventures Texas LLC ("BVT") within the Consumer & Specialties segment. This impairment was triggered by increased claims and continued increases in legal costs, which led to the voluntary filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to address and comprehensively resolve Oldco’s liabilities associated with the talc claims. See Note 17 for further information.

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 2023 resegmentation. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $6.6 million for restructuring and other charges related to severance and other costs. In the third quarter of 2023, an incremental charge of $0.3 million was recorded relating to this program.

The following table outlines the amount of restructuring charges recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and the segments they relate to:
