Segment Information
Ingevity's reportable segments are (i) Performance Materials ("PM"), (ii) Performance Chemicals ("PC"), and (iii) Advanced Polymer Technologies ("APT"). Our reportable segments were determined based upon the nature of the products produced, the nature of the production process, the type of customer for the products, the similarity of economic characteristics, and the manner in which management reviews results. Segment EBITDA is the primary measure used by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the CEO and President of Ingevity, to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources among our reportable segments. The CODM utilizes Segment EBITDA for each reportable segment in the annual budgeting and forecasting process. Segment EBITDA enables the CODM to compare each business and make informed and consistent resource allocation decisions.
Industrial Specialties Divestiture
The historical industrial specialties product line that is classified as discontinued operations includes only direct operating expenses which the Company will no longer incur upon the close of the Divestiture. Indirect costs, such as those related to corporate and segment shared service functions previously allocated to the industrial specialties product line, do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and remain reported within continuing operations in Indirect costs allocated to Divestiture. See Note 1 for more information.
Corporate and other
Effective in the fourth quarter of 2025, Corporate and other costs have been excluded from segment EBITDA. These costs are recorded within "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and are associated with corporate administrative functions (e.g., executive office, corporate finance, legal, human resources) and other compliance costs to operate as a NYSE listed entity. Additionally, these costs are managed at a corporate level and not directly attributable to our reportable segments. Reporting these costs separately will provide greater transparency into our segment results and cost structure.We have recast the data below to reflect the changes in our reportable segments to conform to the current year presentation.

(5) Charges represent costs incurred to complete and integrate acquisitions and other strategic investments, and include the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting for acquisitions, and certain legal and professional fees associated with the completion of acquisitions and strategic investments. For all years presented, the charges related to the Performance Chemicals reportable segment.

The expense is included within "Cost of sales" on the consolidated statement of operations. Inventories are accounted for on a FIFO basis of accounting.
(6) We exclude gains and losses from sales of strategic investments from our segment results because we do not consider such gains or losses to be directly associated with the operational performance of the segment. We believe that the inclusion of such gains or losses, would impair the factors and trends affecting the historical financial performance of our reportable segments. We continue to include undistributed earnings or loss, distributions, amortization or accretion of basis differences, and other-than-temporary impairments for equity method investments that we believe are directly attributable to the operational performance of such investments, in our reportable segment results. Refer to Note 5, under the section: Strategic Investments, for more information.

(10) Our pension and postretirement settlement and curtailment charges (income) are related to the acceleration of prior service costs, as a result of a reduction in the number of participants within the Union Hourly defined benefit pension plan. These are excluded from our segment results because we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We continue to include the service cost, amortization of prior service cost, interest costs, expected return on plan assets, and amortized actual gains and losses in our segment EBITDA.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
