Total sales decreased by 4% to $1,583.0 million in 2026 from $1,644.2 million in 2025. The gross margin percentage declined to 5% in 2026 from 9% in 2025, a decrease of $72.9 million. Selling and administrative expenses rose by $44.0 million to $145.0 million, mainly due to $37.2 million in legal and legal-related settlement expenses and $10.0 million in increased stock-based compensation costs. Restructuring charges increased to $9.1 million in 2026 from $4.0 million in 2025. #### Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls Segment Sales for this segment were $756.9 million in 2026, an 18% decrease from $924.5 million in 2025, primarily due to lower sales volumes and pricing. The segment reported a loss of - $44.5 million in 2026, a $122.8 million decrease from segment income of $78.3 million in 2025. This decline was driven by lower pricing (- $63.5 million), lower volumes (- $44.0 million), higher raw material costs (- $29.6 million), and a $36.1 million charge for legacy litigation matters, partially offset by lower operating costs (+$43.5 million) and reduced costs from product purchases (+$6.9 million). Depreciation and amortization expense was $93.2 million in 2026, down from $107.2 million in 2025. Capital spending decreased to $30.0 million in 2026 from $37.6 million in 2025.

The segment reported a loss of - $2.9 million in 2026, an improvement of $25.5 million from a loss of - $28.4 million in 2025. This improvement was attributed to lower operating costs (+$24.7 million) and higher volumes (+$5.6 million), with lower product pricing partially offset by lower raw material costs (+$19.7 million). Global epoxy demand remains weak, and U.S. and European Epoxy businesses face challenges from subsidized Asian competition.

Segment income decreased by $7.6 million to $15.2 million in 2026 from $22.8 million in 2025. This decrease was mainly due to higher raw material and operating costs (- $14.2 million), including commodity metal and propellant costs, partially offset by higher product pricing (+$5.1 million) and increased sales volume and military project revenue (+$1.5 million). Depreciation and amortization expense was $8.9 million in 2026, down from $9.5 million in 2025. Capital spending was $7.8 million in 2026, down from $11.1 million in 2025.

Other corporate and unallocated costs increased by $13.2 million to $33.2 million in 2026 from $20.0 million in 2025, driven by higher stock-based compensation costs (+$10.0 million) and an unfavorable foreign currency impact (+$3.8 million). #### Consolidated Cash Flow Net cash used in operating activities was - $48.6 million in 2026, an improvement from - $86.0 million in 2025, mainly due to a smaller use of cash for working capital, partially offset by lower operating results.
