The company
Business Segments During 2025, we managed and reported our operations under three reportable segments: Energy Storage, Specialties and Ketjen. The segments are organized based on their similar markets, customers, economic characteristics and production processes. Financial results and discussion about our segments included in this report are organized according to these categories except where noted. On October 25, 2025, the Company signed a definitive agreement to divest the controlling ownership interest of Ketjen’s Refining Solutions business to ChemCat AcquisitionCo, LLC and contribute the remaining ownership interest to ChemCat Holdings, LP, a newly formed limited partnership (“Holdco”). The Refining Solutions business being divested and contributed is defined as the Company’s Ketjen reportable segment, excluding its PCS business and the Company’s 50% ownership interest in Eurecat S.A. In a separate transaction, on January 23, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its 50% ownership interest in Eurecat S.A., a joint venture included in the Ketjen segment, to Axens SA. Following the completion of these transactions, the Company will retain the PCS business and common units of Holdco initially representing a 49% interest. We expect the Refining Solutions transaction to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon completion of this transaction, we do not expect the retained business activity within the Ketjen segment to meet the criteria for a separate reportable segment.
