Business Acquisitions	Business Acquisitions Subsequent to the date of these financial statements, in July 2024, the Company acquired Sutai Group (“Sutai”), for approximately 2.3 billion Japanese yen, or approximately $14.6 million, subject to routine and customary post-closing adjustments and earn-out provisions. Sutai is based in Japan and provides impregnation treatment products and services to the automotive industry and a variety of other industries. Sutai will be reported as part of the Asia/Pacific reportable segment. This acquisition strengthens Quaker Houghton’s technology portfolio, enabling the Company to better support and optimize production processes for customers across the Japanese, Asia Pacific and global markets. During February 2024, the Company acquired I.K.V. Tribologie IKVT and its subsidiaries (“IKV”) for 32.6 million EUR, or $35.2 million, including an initial cash payment of 27.6 million EUR, or $29.7 million, subject to routine and customary post-closing adjustments related to working capital and net indebtedness levels as well as earn-out provisions related to the finalization of 2023 earnings. Assets acquired included approximately $4.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. IKV, which is part of the Company’s EMEA segment, specializes in high-performance lubricants and greases, including original equipment manufacturer first-fill greases that are primarily used in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and other industrial markets. The acquisition of IKV strengthens the Company’s position in first-fill greases. The Company preliminarily allocated $15.0 million of the purchase price to intangible assets, comprised of approximately $11.1 million of customer relationships to be amortized over 16 years; $3.2 million of product technologies to be amortized over 14 years; and $0.7 million of trademarks to be amortized over 5 years. In addition, the Company recognized $16.4 million of goodwill in the EMEA segment, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized on the transaction is primarily attributable to expected cost and growth synergies. Subsequent to the date of these financial statements, the 2023 earnings were finalized and the Company made a payment of 5.0 million EUR, or $5.5 million, in connection with the post-closing adjustments and earn-out provision. As of June 30, 2024, the allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized. The results of operations of IKV subsequent to the acquisition date are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Credit facilities

During June 2022, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quaker Houghton B.V., as borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, U.S. dollar swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, Bank of America Europe Designated Active Company, as Euro Swing Line Lender, certain guarantors and other lenders entered into an amendment to its primary credit facility. The amended credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) established (A) a $150.0 million Euro equivalent senior secured term loan (the “Euro Term Loan”), (B) a $600.0 million senior secured term loan (the “U.S. Term Loan”), and (C) a $500.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), each maturing in June 2027. The Company has the right to increase the amount of the Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $300.0 million or 100% of Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain conditions including the agreement to provide financing by any lender providing such increase.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facility covenants. See Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

The weighted average variable interest rate incurred on the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were approximately 6.2% and 6.3%, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was approximately 6.1%. As part of the Credit Facility, in addition to paying interest on outstanding principal, the Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.150% to 0.275% related to unutilized commitments under the Revolver, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Company had unused capacity under the Revolver of approximately $445 million, which is net of bank letters of credit of approximately $3 million, as of June 30, 2024.

In order to manage the Company’s exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility, in the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into $300.0 million notional amounts of three-year interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate borrowings to an average fixed rate of 3.64% plus an applicable margin as provided in the Credit Facility based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate interest rate on the swaps, including the fixed base rate plus the applicable margin, was 5.3%. See Note 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with executing the original credit facility in 2019 and the amended Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2022, the Company capitalized an aggregate of $2.2 million of certain third-party and creditor debt issuance costs. Approximately $0.7 million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Euro Term Loan and U.S. Term Loan. These costs were recorded as a direct offset of Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Approximately $1.5 million of the capitalized costs were attributed to the Revolver and recorded within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These capitalized costs will collectively be amortized into Interest expense over the five-year term of the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $1.3 million of debt issuance costs recorded as an offset of Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and $2.9 million of debt issuance costs recorded within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Comparatively, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had $1.5 million of debt issuance costs recorded as an offset of Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and $3.3 million of debt issuance costs recorded within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Industrial development bonds

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had fixed rate, industrial development authority bonds totaling $10.0 million in principal amount due in 2028. These bonds have similar covenants to the Credit Facility noted above.

Bank lines of credit and other debt obligations

The Company has certain unsecured bank lines of credit and discounting facilities in certain foreign subsidiaries, which are not collateralized. The Company’s other debt obligations primarily consist of certain domestic and foreign low interest rate or interest-free municipality-related loans, local credit facilities of certain foreign subsidiaries, and finance lease obligations. Total unused capacity under these arrangements as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $34 million.

In addition to the bank letters of credit described in the “Credit facilities” subsection above, the Company’s other off-balance sheet arrangements include certain financial and other guarantees. The Company’s total bank letters of credit and guarantees outstanding as of June 30, 2024 were approximately $4 million.

Interest expense, net

The Company incurred the following debt related expenses included within Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Interest expense	$	11,530	$	14,389	$	22,812	$	28,265
Amortization of debt issuance costs	353		353		706		706
Total	$	11,883	$	14,742	$	23,518	$	28,971

Based on the variable interest rates associated with the Credit Facility, as of June 30, 2024 and as of December 31, 2023, the amounts at which the Company’s total debt were recorded are not materially different from their fair market value.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Segment Reporting, Measurement Disclosures [Abstract]

Business Segments

The Company’s operating segments, which are consistent with its reportable segments, reflect the structure of the Company’s internal organization, the method by which the Company’s resources are allocated, and the manner by which the chief operating decision maker assesses the Company’s performance. The Company has three reportable segments: (i) Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) Asia/Pacific.

Segment operating earnings for each of the Company’s reportable segments are comprised of the segment’s net sales less directly related Cost of goods sold (“COGS”), and Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Operating expenses not directly attributable to the net sales of each respective segment, such as certain corporate and administrative costs and Restructuring and related charges, net, are not included in segment operating earnings. Other items not specifically identified with the Company’s reportable segments include Interest expense, net and Other income (expense), net.

Commitments and Contingencies	6 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Jun. 30, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies As previously disclosed in its 2023 Form 10-K, the Company is party to certain environmental matters and other litigation. See Note 25 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no significant changes to the facts or circumstances of any of the previously disclosed matters. Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the ongoing environmental matters or litigation, the Company believes that it has made adequate accruals for costs and liabilities associated with these matters. The Company has accrued approximately $5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for these ongoing matters. The Company previously disclosed in its 2023 Form 10-K that one of its locations suffered property damage as a result of an electrical fire. The Company and its insurance carrier reviewed the impact of the electrical fire on the production facility’s operations as it relates to a potential business interruption insurance claim. Subsequent to the date of these financial statements, in July 2024, the Company and its insurance carrier settled this claim for $1.0 million. In December 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Coral Chemical Company (“Coral”), a privately held, U.S.-based provider of metal finishing fluid solutions. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company and the sellers of Coral (the “Sellers”) have worked to finalize certain post-closing adjustments. During the second quarter of 2022, after failing to reach resolution, the Sellers filed suit asserting certain amounts owed related to tax attributes of the acquisition. Since the second quarter of 2022, there have been no material changes to the facts and circumstances of the claim asserted by the Sellers, and the Company continues to believe the potential range of exposure for this claim is $0 to $1.5 million. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there are no new environmental matters or litigation that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Income Taxes and Uncertain Income Tax Positions	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes and Uncertain Income Tax Positions	Jun. 30, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes and Uncertain Income Tax Positions	Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were 32.8% and 30.1%, respectively, compared to 34.2% and 31.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were largely driven by the mix of pre-tax earnings, certain one-time charges related to an intercompany intangible asset transfer, and withholding taxes, offset by changes in uncertain tax positions. Comparatively, the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were largely impacted by the mix of pre-tax earnings, changes to the valuation allowance for and the usage of certain foreign tax credits, and withholding taxes, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions and favorable return to provision adjustments.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income tax.

As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $0.1 million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 0.8 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 872 non-vested restricted share awards under its long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which are subject to time-based vesting, generally over one to three years. As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $2.8 million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 55,227 restricted stock units under its LTIP, which are subject to time-based vesting, generally over one to three years. The fair value of these grants is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units was $9.4 million, to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.7 years.

Performance Stock Units

As a component of its LTIP, the Company grants performance-based stock unit awards (“PSUs”). The number of shares that may ultimately be issued as settlement for each award may range from 0% up to 200% of the target award, subject to the achievement of the Company’s market-based total shareholder return (“TSR”) metric relative to the performance of a selected peer group, and separately the achievement of a performance-based return on invested capital (“ROIC”) measure. The service vesting period required for the PSUs is generally three years and the measurement period of the market-based and performance objectives is generally from January 1 of the year of grant through December 31 of the year prior to issuance of the shares.

As mentioned above, a portion of the Company’s PSU valuation is subject to the achievement of the Company’s TSR relative to the performance of a selected peer group. For PSUs granted prior to 2024, the Company’s peer group was the S&P Midcap 400 Materials group. For the 2024 annual LTIP grants, the Company made an election to change peer groups to the S&P 1500 Chemical group to measure the Company’s relative TSR.

Compensation expense for PSUs is measured based on the grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line vesting method basis over the applicable vesting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 20,205 PSUs with a ROIC condition at a grant date fair value of $200.16 per unit, which was based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. PSUs granted with a relative TSR condition are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation on the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of the PSUs valued using a Monte Carlo simulation was $234.19 per unit, which incorporated the assumptions set forth in the table below:


			2024 Grants
Number of PSUs granted			20,078
Risk-free interest rate			4.55%
Dividend yield			0.91%
Expected term (years)			3.0

As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $12.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Net Sales and Revenue Recognition

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Net Sales and Revenue Recognition

Arrangements Resulting in Net Reporting

As part of the Company’s FluidcareTM business, certain third-party product sales to customers are managed by the Company. The Company transferred third-party products under arrangements recognized on a net reporting basis of $19.2 million and $39.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $21.0 million and $41.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Customer Concentration

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are realized from the sale of process fluids and services to manufacturers of steel, aluminum, automobiles, aerospace, industrial and agricultural equipment, and durable goods. As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, the Company’s five largest customers combined (each composed of multiple subsidiaries or divisions with semiautonomous purchasing authority) accounted for approximately 12% of consolidated net sales for 2023, with its largest customer accounting for approximately 3% of consolidated net sales.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company had no material contract assets recorded on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company had approximately $3.2 million and $4.5 million of deferred revenue as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company satisfied materially all of the associated performance obligations and recognized into revenue materially all advance payments received and recorded as of December 31, 2023.

Disaggregated Revenue

The Company sells its various industrial process fluids, its specialty chemicals and its technical expertise as a global product portfolio. The Company generally manages and evaluates its performance by reportable segment first, and then by customer industries. Net sales of each of the Company’s major product lines are generally spread throughout all three of the Company’s geographic regions, and in most cases, are approximately proportionate to the level of total sales in each region.

The following tables disaggregate the Company’s net sales by segment and customer industry.

Hedging Activities

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Hedging Activities

The Company’s ongoing business operations expose it to various risks, including fluctuating foreign exchange rates and interest rate risk. To manage these risks, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not hold or enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge the impact of the variability in exchange rates on certain assets and/or liabilities denominated in certain foreign currencies. These forward contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the underlying instrument and settlements are recognized in earnings in Other income (expense), net. The fair value of the forward contract is determined from sources independent of the Company, including the financial institutions which are party to the derivative instruments.

Open foreign exchange forward contracts as of June 30, 2024 were entered into as hedges in Japanese yen, Mexican peso and Chinese yuan against the U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had open foreign exchange forward contracts with notional U.S. dollar values of the following:


Currency	June 30, 2024
Mexican Peso	$	30,600
Japanese Yen	5,000
Chinese Yuan	4,200
	$	39,800

Open foreign exchange forward contracts as of June 30, 2024 had maturities occurring over a period of one month.

Interest Rate Swaps

In order to manage the Company’s exposure to variable interest rate risk associated with the Credit Facility, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), in the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into $300.0 million notional amounts of three-year interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate borrowings into a fixed rate obligation. See Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and, as such, the contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI to the extent effective and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which these hedged transactions affect earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

The balance sheet classification and fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments, which are Level 2 measurements, are as follows:




Derivatives instruments	Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets Location	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Interest rate swaps:	Other non-current assets	$	4,854	$	1,828

Foreign currency forward contracts:	Other accrued liabilities	1,141		159

The following table presents the net unrealized gain deferred to AOCI:


Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges		June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Interest rate swaps	AOCI	$	3,737	$	1,407

These headcount reductions began in the fourth quarter of 2022 and are expected to be completed in 2024.

Employee separation benefits vary depending on local regulations within certain foreign countries and include severance and other benefits. The exact timing to complete, and final costs associated with, all actions will depend on a number of factors and are subject to change. Restructuring costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include employee severance and facility closure costs that are recorded in Restructuring and related charges, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
