Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and shareholders' equity of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Axalta," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") at June 30, 2024, the results of operations, comprehensive income and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and cash flows for the six months then ended. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. Certain of our entities are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material.
In the current year, we changed the presentation in our condensed consolidated financial statements to whole millions from our historical presentation of tenths of millions and, as a result, any necessary rounding adjustments have been made to prior year disclosed amounts.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2024 or any future period(s).
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Updates
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In January 2023, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs, which codifies disclosure requirements for supplier financing programs. This ASU does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. Upon adoption of this ASU, we incorporated the required disclosures in Note 14. In addition to the disclosures included in Note 14, ASU 2022-04 requires a rollforward of activity for each supplier financing program beginning with annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2024, at which time we will incorporate the required rollforward disclosure.
Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Rules Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), to expand the disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements.
In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 34-99678 and No. 33-11275 (the "Final Rules"), The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The Final Rules require, among other things, disclosures in the notes to the audited financial statements relating to the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates in certain circumstances. The financial statement disclosure requirements of the Final Rules are effective for fiscal years beginning in 2025. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the Final Rules. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Final Rules.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue REVENUE
Consideration for products in which control has transferred to our customers that is conditional on something other than the passage of time is recorded as a contract asset within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract asset balances at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $37 million and $39 million, respectively.
We provide certain customers with incremental up-front consideration, subject to clawback provisions, including Business Incentive Plan assets ("BIPs"), which is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement as a reduction of net sales. We do not receive a distinct service or good in return for these BIPs, but rather receive volume commitments and/or sole supplier status from our customers over the life of the contractual arrangements, which approximates a five-year weighted average useful life. Substantially all of the termination clauses in these contractual arrangements include standard clawback provisions that are designed to enable us to collect monetary damages in the event of a customer's failure to meet its commitments under the relevant contract. BIPs are assessed for recoverability annually or more frequently when certain circumstances arise. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total carrying value of BIPs were $170 million and $149 million, respectively, and are presented within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, $14 million, $28 million, $15 million and $31 million, respectively, was amortized and reflected as reductions of net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring RESTRUCTURING
During February 2024, we announced a global transformation initiative intended to simplify the Company’s organizational structure and enable us to be more proactive, responsive, and agile and to better serve our customers and to lower our cost base and improve financial performance and cash flow generation (the "2024 Transformation Initiative"). The 2024 Transformation Initiative actions, certain of which are subject to the satisfaction of local law requirements in various jurisdictions, commenced in the first quarter of 2024 and we expect them to be completed by 2026. The 2024 Transformation Initiative is expected to result in a net reduction to our workforce of approximately 600 employees globally and total pre-tax charges of $75-110 million in the aggregate, of which $65-90 million represents severance and other exit-related costs and $10-20 million represents non-cash accelerated depreciation charges. Future cash expenditures related to the 2024 Transformation Initiative are expected to be approximately $95-135 million, inclusive of $30-45 million for capital expenditures to, among other things, shift manufacturing capacity or capabilities. The 2024 Transformation Initiative resulted in pre-tax charges of $55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily relates to employee severance and other exit costs associated with a net reduction to our workforce globally.
In accordance with the applicable guidance for Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, we accounted for termination benefits and recognized liabilities when the loss was considered probable that employees were entitled to benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred costs of $0 million, $55 million, $2 million and $3 million, respectively, for termination benefits, net of changes in estimates. The majority of our termination benefits are recorded within other operating charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining payments associated with these actions are expected to be substantially completed within 24 months.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the termination benefit reserves and expenses from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024:

Guarantees
We guarantee certain of our customers’ obligations to third parties, whereby any default by our customers on their obligations could force us to make payments to the applicable creditors ("Customer Obligation Guarantees"). At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had outstanding Customer Obligation Guarantees of $21 million and $10 million, respectively, excluding certain outstanding Customer Obligation Guarantees secured by letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility discussed further in Note 15. Excluding Customer Obligation Guarantees secured by letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, substantially all of our Customer Obligation Guarantees do not have specified expiration dates. We monitor the Customer Obligation Guarantees to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date. We did not have any liabilities related to our outstanding Customer Obligation Guarantees recorded at either June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

In January 2021, we became aware of an operational matter affecting certain North America Mobility Coatings customer manufacturing sites. The matter involves the use and application of certain of our products in combination with and incorporated within third-party products. The matter occurred over a discrete period during the fourth quarter of 2020. We concluded that losses from this matter were probable and that a majority of losses would be covered under our insurance policies, subject to deductible and policy limits as defined in our policies.
During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, expenses recorded relating to the operational matter were immaterial. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $30 million and $36 million, respectively, recorded for estimated insurance receivables within accounts and notes receivable, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Liabilities of $29 million and $31 million are recorded as other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The recorded probable losses remain an estimate, and actual costs arising from this matter could be materially lower or higher depending on the actual costs incurred to repair the impacted products as well as the availability of additional insurance coverage.
Other
We are subject to various pending lawsuits, legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of business, including civil, regulatory and environmental matters. These matters may involve third-party indemnification obligations and/or insurance covering all or part of any potential damage incurred by us. All of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the proceedings and other claims at this time. The potential effects, if any, on our condensed consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable. Except as set forth in the "Operational Matter" section above, we believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with proceedings or claims in excess of the amounts recorded would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.
We are involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites. The timing and duration of remediation and ongoing compliance activities are determined on a site by site basis depending on local regulations. The liabilities recorded represent our estimable future remediation costs and other anticipated environmental liabilities. We have not recorded liabilities at sites where a liability is probable but a range of loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with environmental remediation matters in excess of the amounts recorded would likely occur over a period of time and would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.

Our effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
Six Months Ended
June 30,
20242023
Effective Tax Rate29.1 %19.1 %
The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the tax impacts of the 2024 Transformation Initiative pre-tax charges, as well as the 2023 favorable impact of changes in unrecognized tax benefits, which did not repeat in 2024.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to various items that impacted the effective rate both favorably and unfavorably. We recorded unfavorable impacts for changes in the valuation allowance and for increases in unrecognized tax benefits. These adjustments were primarily offset by the favorable adjustments for earnings in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two framework that imposes, among other items, a minimum tax rate of 15% has been implemented by several jurisdictions in which we operate, with effect from January 1, 2024. The effect of enacted Pillar Two taxes did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We will continue to monitor the implementation of Pillar Two by additional jurisdictions and will evaluate the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We anticipate that it is reasonably possible our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by $46 million, exclusive of interest and penalties, within the next 12 months mainly due to the expiration of statutes of limitations in various countries and the expected final assessment from the 2010-2013 German income tax audit which concluded in 2021.

Basic net income per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the hypothetical exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance share units. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses by applying historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, to respective aging categories. Management considers the following factors in developing its current estimate of expected credit losses: customer credit-worthiness; past transaction history with the customer; current economic industry trends; changes in market or regulatory matters; changes in geopolitical matters; and changes in customer payment terms, as well as other macroeconomic factors.

Supplier Finance Programs SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAMS
We have a supplier financing program in China that is utilized to finance the purchases of goods and services from our suppliers through local banking institutions. The payment terms under the program vary, but the program has a weighted average maturity date that is approximately 90 days from each respective financing inception. These financing arrangements are included in the current portion of borrowings within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and at the time of issuance each transaction is treated as a non-cash financing activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon settlement of the financing, the cash outflow is classified as a financing activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Amounts outstanding under this program were $10 million at June 30, 2023, including $3 million related to purchases of property, plant and equipment. There were no balances outstanding under this program at June 30, 2024. Cash outflows under this program were $4 million and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We maintain a voluntary supply chain financing ("SCF") program with a global financial institution that allows a select group of suppliers to sell their receivables to the participating financial institution at the discretion of both parties on terms that are negotiated between the supplier and the financial institution. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program are paid by us to the financial institution according to the terms we have with the supplier. Amounts outstanding under the SCF program were $27 million and $28 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
We also participate in a virtual card program with a global financial institution, in which we pay supplier invoices on the due date using a Virtual Card Account ("VCA") and subsequently pay the balance in full 25 days after the billing statement date of the VCA. The program allows for suppliers to receive accelerated payments for a fee at each supplier's discretion. Fees paid by our suppliers are negotiated directly with the financial institution without our involvement. Amounts outstanding under the VCA program were $7 million and $8 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The payment terms we have with our suppliers who participate in the SCF and VCA programs are consistent with the typical terms we have with our suppliers who do not participate. These financing arrangements are included in accounts payable within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the associated payments are included in operating activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") consist of a term loan due 2029 (the "2029 Dollar Term Loans") and a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that is governed by a credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement").
Revolving Credit Facility
During June 2024, in connection with the acquisition discussed in Note 19, we borrowed $185 million against the Revolving Credit Facility, which bears interest at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 1.50% and is due June 2029. At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $22 million which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility as of such dates. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $593 million and $528 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility include $14 million that secures Customer Obligation Guarantees at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Significant Transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we prepaid $75 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2029 Dollar Term Loans. As a result of these prepayments, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which comprised the proportionate write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts.
During March 2024, we entered into the Fourteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to lower the interest rate spread applicable to the 2029 Dollar Term Loans, which continues to be based on SOFR from 2.50% to 2.00% and to make related changes to effect such repricing. The other material terms of the Credit Agreement, including the outstanding principal amount and maturity date of the 2029 Dollar Term Loans, remained unchanged. As a result of the repricing, we recorded a $2 million loss on financing-related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discount and fees incurred to complete the repricing.
During June 2024, we entered into the Fifteenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fifteenth Amendment"), to among other things, increase commitments available pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility from $550 million to $800 million and extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility from May 2026 to June 2029, provided that such date would be accelerated in certain circumstances as set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Fifteenth Amendment. As a result, we recorded $4 million of incremental deferred financing costs to other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Financial Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values - Balances of equity securities are recorded within other assets, with any changes in fair value recorded within other (income) expense, net. The fair values of equity securities are based upon quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 inputs.
Long-term borrowings - The estimated fair values of these borrowings are based on recent trades, as reported by a third-party pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades, these inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments - The Company’s interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are included in the Level 2 hierarchy.
Fair value of contingent consideration
Contingent consideration is valued using a probability-weighted expected payment method that considers the timing of expected future cash flows and the probability of whether key elements of the contingent event are completed. The fair value of contingent consideration is valued at each balance sheet date, until amounts become payable, with adjustments recorded within other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Due to the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations, these liabilities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below presents the fair values of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We selectively use derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivatives is intended for hedging purposes only, and we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivative Instruments Qualifying and Designated as Net Investment and Cash Flow Hedges
Cross-Currency Swaps Designated as Net Investment Hedges
One fixed-for-fixed cross-currency swap with a notional amount of $150 million, previously executed in 2023, was set to mature on March 31, 2024. We extended the maturity on this cross-currency swap to September 30, 2025 and reset the terms. Under the terms of this reset cross-currency swap agreement, we notionally exchanged $150 million at an interest rate of 6.692% for €142 million at an interest rate of 4.899%. The cross-currency swap is designated as a net investment hedge. This cross-currency swap is marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments, within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI").
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
An interest rate swap with a notional amount of $150 million, which was previously executed in 2023 and set to expire on March 31, 2024, was terminated early on March 27, 2024. Concurrently, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $150 million to hedge interest rate exposures associated with the 2029 Dollar Term Loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company is required to pay the counter-party a stream of fixed interest payments at a rate of 4.692% on $150 million of notional value, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 3-month SOFR from the counter-party subject to a floor of 0.5%. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and expires on September 30, 2025. This interest rate swap is marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Gains and losses for hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis.
The following table sets forth the locations and amounts recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 for the Company's cash flow and net investment hedges.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments SEGMENTS
The Company identifies an operating segment as a component: (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) that has available discrete financial information.
We have two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Performance Coatings and Mobility Coatings. The CODM reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance for each operating segment. Our CODM is identified as the Chief Executive Officer because he has final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. Our segments are based on the type and concentration of customers served, service requirements, methods of distribution and major product lines.
Through our Performance Coatings segment, we provide high-quality liquid and powder coatings solutions to both large regional and global original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and to a fragmented and local customer base. These customers comprise independent or multi-shop operator body shops as well as a wide variety of industrial manufacturers. We are one of only a few suppliers with the technology to provide precise color matching and highly durable coatings systems. The end-markets within this segment are refinish and industrial.
Through our Mobility Coatings segment, we provide coatings technologies for light vehicle and commercial vehicle OEMs. These global customers are faced with evolving megatrends in electrification, sustainability, personalization and autonomous driving that require a high level of technical expertise. The OEMs require efficient, environmentally responsible coatings systems that can be applied with a high degree of precision, consistency and speed. The end-markets within this segment are light vehicle and commercial vehicle.
Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by our CODM to evaluate financial performance of the operating segments and allocate resources and is therefore our measure of segment profitability in accordance with GAAP under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting. Therefore, we have not disclosed asset information for each reportable segment.

(1)The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company's core operating performance, which represents Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the select items referred to above.
(a)Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the prepayment, restructuring, and refinancing of our indebtedness, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(b)Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits, consulting, legal and other employee-related costs associated with restructuring programs and other employee-related costs. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(c)Represents acquisition and divestiture-related expenses and integration activities associated with our business combinations, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(d)Represents costs related to the closure of certain manufacturing sites, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(e)Represents impairment charges, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The losses recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were due to the decision to demolish assets at a previously closed manufacturing site during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the then anticipated exit of a non-core business category in the Mobility Coatings segment during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(f)Represents foreign exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of the impacts of our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures.
(g)Represents the non-cash, non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs.
(h)Represents non-cash impacts associated with stock-based compensation.
(i)Represents costs related to certain environmental remediation activities, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(j)Represents costs for certain non-operational or non-cash losses (gains), unrelated to our core business and which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance and Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Rules Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In January 2023, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs, which codifies disclosure requirements for supplier financing programs. This ASU does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. Upon adoption of this ASU, we incorporated the required disclosures in Note 14. In addition to the disclosures included in Note 14, ASU 2022-04 requires a rollforward of activity for each supplier financing program beginning with annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2024, at which time we will incorporate the required rollforward disclosure.
Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Rules Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), to expand the disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements.
In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 34-99678 and No. 33-11275 (the "Final Rules"), The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The Final Rules require, among other things, disclosures in the notes to the audited financial statements relating to the effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to certain thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates in certain circumstances. The financial statement disclosure requirements of the Final Rules are effective for fiscal years beginning in 2025. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the effectiveness of the Final Rules. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Final Rules.

(1)The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company's core operating performance, which represents Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the select items referred to above.
(a)Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the prepayment, restructuring, and refinancing of our indebtedness, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(b)Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits, consulting, legal and other employee-related costs associated with restructuring programs and other employee-related costs. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(c)Represents acquisition and divestiture-related expenses and integration activities associated with our business combinations, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(d)Represents costs related to the closure of certain manufacturing sites, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(e)Represents impairment charges, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The losses recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were due to the decision to demolish assets at a previously closed manufacturing site during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the then anticipated exit of a non-core business category in the Mobility Coatings segment during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(f)Represents foreign exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of the impacts of our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures.
(g)Represents the non-cash, non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs.
(h)Represents non-cash impacts associated with stock-based compensation.
(i)Represents costs related to certain environmental remediation activities, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
(j)Represents costs for certain non-operational or non-cash losses (gains), unrelated to our core business and which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
