TREDEGAR CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All such adjustments, unless otherwise detailed in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements, are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature.
The Company operates on a calendar fiscal year except for the Aluminum Extrusions segment, which operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year basis.  As such, the fiscal second quarter for 2020 and 2019 for this segment references 13-week periods ended June 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.  The Company does not believe the impact of reporting the results of this segment as stated above is material to the consolidated financial results.
The financial position data as of December 31, 2019 that is included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”) but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2019 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The pronouncement replaces the incurred loss methodology to record credit losses with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses for financial assets not accounted for at fair value with gains and losses recognized through net income. The adoption of the updated guidance in the first quarter of 2020 resulted in an adjustment of less than $0.2 million and, therefore, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company's policy on Accounts and Other Receivables as described in the 2019 Form 10-K was revised to read as follows:
Accounts and Other Receivables. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount invoiced to customers less allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and arise from the sale of product to customers under typical industry trade terms. Notes receivable are not significant. Past due amounts are determined based on established terms and charged-off when deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on an assessment of probable losses taking into account past due amounts, customer credit profile, historical experience and current economic conditions. For receivables that do not have a specific allowance, the loss rate is computed by segment to apply to the remaining receivables balance, using each segment’s historic loss rate. Other receivables include value-added taxes related to certain foreign subsidiaries and other miscellaneous receivables due within one year. For certain customers, the Company has arrangements in place with financial institutions whereby certain customer receivables are sold to the financial institution at a discount and without recourse.  Upon sale, the associated receivable is unrecognized and the discount is recognized as a reduction of sales.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accounts receivable and other receivables, net, were $100.5 million and $107.6 million, respectively, made up of the following:

2 LONG-LIVED ASSETS & GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT
The Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets consist primarily of buildings, machinery and equipment. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment in light of the economic impacts from coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19") for its asset groups.
The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at a minimum (December 1st of each year) or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds its fair value. The Company evaluated whether triggering events occurred for all reporting units that include goodwill and determined that triggering events did occur during the first three months of 2020 for the Aluminum Extrusions’ reporting units created as a result of acquisitions in 2012 (“AACOA”) and in 2017 (“Futura”).
The Company performed goodwill impairment tests for the AACOA and Futura reporting units using a combination of income and market approaches and determined that the fair value of the Futura reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. During the first three months of 2020, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $13.7 million ($10.5 million after taxes), which represented the entire amount of goodwill associated with the AACOA reporting unit. The operations of the AACOA reporting unit, which includes the Niles, Michigan and Elkhart, Indiana facilities, have been severely impacted by COVID-19, with over 80% of the aluminum extrusions manufactured at these facilities sold to customers that make consumer durable products, such as recreational boating and power sports vehicles, as well as to customers serving building and construction and automotive markets.
The Company evaluated whether triggering events occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 for all reporting units that include goodwill and determined no events or circumstances existed that indicated the fair value of the reporting units are below their carrying amounts.
Recent disruptions to the global economy from COVID-19 make it reasonably possible that future interim tests for long-lived assets and goodwill may be required during 2020. The Company continues to monitor developments and perform updated analyses as necessary.
3 ASSET IMPAIRMENTS AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
Since July 2019, the Company planned to close its PE Films manufacturing facility in Lake Zurich, Illinois (“Lake Zurich plant shutdown”). In March 2020, this facility was shut down and the production of elastic materials it previously produced was transferred to the new elastic production line at Terre Haute, Indiana. As a result of the Lake Zurich plant shutdown, the Company expects to recognize overall pre-tax cash costs of $6.9 million comprised of (i) customer-related costs ($0.7 million), (ii) severance and other employee related costs ($1.1 million), and (iii) asset disposal and other cash costs ($5.1 million). In addition, the Company expects overall non-cash asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation of $1.3 million. Total expenses associated with the Lake Zurich plant shutdown are $2.9 million since project inception. Cash expenditures were $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company anticipates that the Lake Zurich plant shutdown will be completed by the end of 2020 and that the sale of real property will occur sometime thereafter.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of accrued expenses associated with exit and disposal activities and charges associated with asset impairments and reported as “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments” in the consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:

5 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, determined as follows:

Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share
33,436  33,278  33,374  33,203  
Incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock are computed under the treasury stock method using the average market price during the related period. The Company had a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, so there is no dilutive impact for such shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock were 1,567,709. If the Company had reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock were 1,125,203.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, average out-of-the-money options to purchase shares that were excluded from the calculation of incremental shares attributable to stock options and restricted stock were 1,474,762 and 1,225,333, respectively.

7 INVESTMENTS
In August 2007 and December 2008, the Company made an aggregate investment of $7.5 million in kaléo, Inc. (“kaléo”), a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to building innovative solutions for serious and life-threatening medical conditions. Tredegar owns Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in kaléo that, taken together, represents on a fully-diluted basis an approximate 18% interest in kaléo. Tredegar accounts for its investment in kaléo under the fair value option. At the time of the initial investment, the Company elected the fair value option of accounting since its investment objectives were similar to those of venture capitalists, which typically do not have controlling financial interests.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment was $70.7 million as of June 30, 2020 and $95.5 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company recognized an increase in value on its investment in kaléo of $1.3 million ($0.9 million after deferred income taxes) in the second quarter of 2020, but a decline of $24.8 million ($19.5 million after deferred income taxes) since the December 31, 2019 valuation. The decline in estimated fair value during the first six months of 2020 was primarily due to: (i) lower expectations for 2020 EBITDA and net cash flow associated with lower market demand for epinephrine delivery devices resulting from COVID-19-related social distancing guidelines, especially if such guidelines or restrictions impact the peak back-to-school season and (ii) a higher private company liquidity discount. The net appreciation on its investment of $24.2 million($19.9 million after deferred income taxes) in the first six months of 2019, included a pre-tax cash dividend of $17.6 million paid on April 30, 2019. Future dividends are subject to the discretion of kaléo’s board of directors. Amounts recognized associated with the Company’s investment in kaléo are included in “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of income and separately stated in the net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment table in Note 11.
The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in kaléo at June 30, 2020 by: (i) computing the weighted average estimated enterprise value (“EV”) utilizing both the discounted cash flow method (the “DCF Method”) and the application of a market multiple to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “EBITDA Multiple Method”), (ii) applying adjustments for any surplus or deficient working capital and estimates of contingent liabilities, (iii) adding cash and cash equivalents, (iv) subtracting interest-bearing debt, (v) subtracting a private company liquidity discount estimated at 20% at June 30, 2020 (versus 10% at December 31, 2019 and 15% at June 30, 2019) of the net result of (i) through (iv), and (vi) applying liquidation preferences and fully diluted ownership percentages to the estimated equity value computed in (i) through (v).
The Company’s estimate of kaléo’s EV as of June 30, 2020 was determined by weighting the EBITDA Multiple Method by 80% and the DCF Method by 20%, which was consistent with the weighting applied at December 31, 2019
15


and March 31, 2020. The heavier weighting towards the EBITDA Multiple Method was due to its heuristic nature versus the hypothetical nature of the projections used in the DCF Method. The DCF Method projections rely on numerous assumptions and Level 3 inputs, including estimating market growth, market share, pricing, net margins (after allowances for temporary discounts, prompt pay discounts, product returns, wholesaler fees, chargebacks, rebates and copays), selling expenses, R&D expenses, general and administrative expenses, income taxes on unlevered pretax income, working capital, capital expenditures and the risk-adjusted discount rate. In addition, there are various regulatory and legal enforcement efforts, including an ongoing Department of Justice investigation related to kaléo’s discontinued Evzio business, which could have a material adverse effect on kaléo’s business that require assessment in any valuation method applied.
The table below provides a sensitivity analysis of the estimated fair value at June 30, 2020, of the Company’s investment in kaléo for changes in the EBITDA multiple used in applying the EBITDA Multiple Method and the changes in the weighting of the DCF Method.
($ Millions)EV-to-Adjusted EBITDA Multiple
5.0 x6.0 x7.0 x8.0x9.0x
Weighting to DCF Method50 %$60.9  $66.3  $71.7  $77.1  $82.4

0 %$48.5  $59.3  $70.0  $80.8  $91.5  
The ultimate value of the Company’s ownership interest in kaléo will be determined and realized only if and when a liquidity event occurs, and the ultimate value could be materially different from the $70.7 million estimated fair value reflected in the Company’s financial statements at June 30, 2020.
8 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Tredegar uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging margin exposure from fixed-price forward sales contracts in Aluminum Extrusions and exposure from currency volatility that exist as part of ongoing business operations (primarily in Flexible Packaging Films). These derivative financial instruments are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges and are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets are based upon Level 2 inputs. If individual derivative instruments with the same counterparty can be settled on a net basis, the Company records the corresponding derivative fair values as a net asset or net liability.
In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the future sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge margin exposure created from the fixing of future sales prices relative to volatile raw material (aluminum) costs, Aluminum Extrusions enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled purchases for the firm sales commitments. The fixed-price firm sales commitments and related hedging instruments generally have durations of not more than 12 months. The notional amount of aluminum futures contracts that hedged future purchases of aluminum to meet fixed-price forward sales contract obligations was $20.1 million (21.7 million pounds of aluminum) at June 30, 2020 and $20.2 million (19.6 million pounds of aluminum) at December 31, 2019.
The table below summarizes the location and gross amounts of aluminum futures contract fair values (Level 2) in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

In the event that a counterparty to an aluminum fixed-price forward sales contract chooses not to take delivery of its aluminum extrusions, the customer is contractually obligated to compensate Aluminum Extrusions for any losses on the related aluminum futures and/or forward contracts through the date of cancellation.

The Company's earnings are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk primarily through the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company estimates that the net mismatch translation exposure for the Flexible Packaging Film's business unit in Brazil (“Terphane Ltda.”) of its sales and raw materials quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars and its variable conversion, fixed conversion and sales, general and administrative costs (before depreciation and amortization) quoted or priced in Brazilian Real is annual net costs of 136 million Brazilian Real ("R$").

Terphane Ltda. has the following outstanding foreign exchange average forward rate contracts to purchase Brazilian Real and sell U.S. Dollars:
USD Notional Amount (000s)Average Forward Rate Contracted on USD/BRLR$ Equivalent Amount (000s)Applicable MonthEstimated % of Terphane Ltda. R$ Operating Cost Exposure Hedged
$2,2003.9326R$8,652Jul-2076%

$2,0503.9653R$8,129Dec-2072%
$13,0503.9520R$51,57376%
These foreign currency exchange contracts have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of Terphane Ltda.’s forecasted sales to customers quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars over that period. By changing the currency risk associated with these U.S. Dollar sales, the derivatives have the effect of offsetting operating costs quoted or priced in Brazilian Real and decreasing the net exposure to Brazilian Real in the consolidated statements of income. The pre-tax net fair value of the open forward contracts was a negative $3.5 million as of June 30, 2020.
These derivative contracts involve elements of market risk that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet, including the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts. The counterparties to any forward purchase commitments are major aluminum brokers and suppliers, and the counterparties to any aluminum futures contracts are major financial institutions. Fixed-price forward sales contracts are only made available to the best and most credit-worthy customers. The counterparties to the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts are major financial institutions.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company expects $1.4 million of unrealized after-tax losses on derivative instruments reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, net gains or losses realized, from previously unrealized net gains or losses on hedges that had been discontinued, were not material.

9 PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Tredegar sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit (pension) plan covering certain current and former U.S. employees. The plan for salaried and hourly employees currently in effect is based on a formula using the participant’s years of service and compensation or using the participant’s years of service and a dollar amount. The plan is closed to new participants and pay for active plan participants for benefit calculations was frozen as of December 31, 2007. As of January 31, 2018, the plan no longer accrued benefits associated with crediting employees for service, thereby freezing all future benefits under the plan.
The components of net periodic benefit cost for the pension and other postretirement benefit programs reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, are shown below:

Pension and other postretirement liabilities were $105.6 million and $108.1 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively ($0.7 million included in “Accrued expenses” at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, with the remainder included in “Pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, net” in the consolidated balance sheets). The Company’s total required pension contributions for 2020 are expected to be $12.3 million; however, pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), the Company has elected to defer payment of $2.4 millionof total contributions until January 1, 2021. A $1.8 million pension plan contribution was made in January 2020 prior to the enactment of the CARES Act.
Tredegar funds its other postretirement benefits on a claims-made basis; for 2020, the Company anticipates the amount will be consistent with amounts paid for the year ended December 31, 2019, or approximately $0.3 million.

11 BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company’s business segments are Aluminum Extrusions, PE Films, and Flexible Packaging Films. Information by business segment is reported below. There are no accounting transactions between segments and no allocations to segments.
The Company’s reportable segments are based on its method of internal reporting, which is generally segregated by differences in products. Accounting standards for presentation of segments require an approach based on the way the Company organizes the segments for making operating decisions and how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses performance. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from ongoing operations is the key profitability measure used by the CODM (Tredegar’s President and Chief Executive Officer) for purposes of assessing financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. This measure is separately included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM.

(a) Export sales relate primarily to PE Films. Operations outside the U.S. in The Netherlands, Hungary, China and India also relate to PE Films. Operations in Brazil are primarily related to Flexible Packaging Films, but also include PE Films operations. Sales from locations in The Netherlands and Hungary are primarily to customers located in Europe.
The Company’s facilities in Pottsville, PA (“PV”) and Guangzhou, China (“GZ”) have a tolling arrangement whereby certain surface protection films are manufactured in GZ for a fee with raw materials supplied from PV that are then sold by GZ directly to customers principally in the Asian market, but paid by customers directly to PV. Amounts associated with this intercompany tolling arrangement are reported in the table above as export sales from the U.S. to Asia, and include net sales of $32.1 million in 2019, $10.0 million and $7.5 million in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $19.3 millionand $12.7 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

12 INCOME TAXES
Tredegar recorded a tax benefit of $3.5 million on a pretax loss of $14.6 million in the first six months of 2020. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the first six months of 2020 was 23.8%, compared to 19.8% in the first six months of 2019. The quarterly effective tax rate is an estimate based on a proration of the components of the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate and discrete items recorded during the first six months of the year.

Tredegar accrues U.S. federal income taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries where required. However, due to changes in the taxation of dividends under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Tredegar will only record U.S. federal income taxes on unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries where Tredegar cannot take steps to eliminate any potential tax on future distributions from its foreign subsidiaries.
The Brazilian federal statutory income tax rate is a composite of 34.0% (25.0% of income tax and 9.0% of social contribution on income). Terphane Ltda.’s manufacturing facility in Brazil is the beneficiary of certain income tax incentives that allow for a reduction in the statutory Brazilian federal income tax rate to 15.25% levied on the operating profit on certain of its products. The incentives have been granted for a 13-year period, from the commencement date of January 1, 2015. The benefit from the tax incentives was $2.6 million and $1.1 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Tredegar and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S., various states, and jurisdictions outside the U.S. With exceptions for some U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions, Tredegar and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, new legislation was enacted and new IRS guidance was issued to provide relief to businesses in response to COVID-19. We have evaluated the tax provisions included in legislation such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as well as recent IRS guidance and we do not expect it to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
13 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2020:
ASU 2016-13, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CREDIT LOSSES (TOPIC 326)
See Note 1 for details on the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
ASU 2018-13, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (TOPIC 820)
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which amended the fair value measurement guidance by removing and modifying certain disclosure requirements, while also adding new disclosure requirements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption.
24


All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted all disclosure requirements in the first quarter of 2020, with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented:
ASU 2019-12, INCOME TAXES (TOPIC 740)
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, hybrid taxes and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

Forward-looking and Cautionary Statements
Some of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When the Company uses the words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “appear to,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “likely,” “may” and similar expressions, it does so to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the Company's then current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. It is possible that the Company's actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company's current projections for its businesses could be materially affected by the highly uncertain impact of COVID-19. As a consequence, the Company's results could differ significantly from its projections, depending on, among other things, the duration of "shelter in place" orders and the ultimate impact of the pandemic on employees, supply chains, customers and the U.S. and world economies. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, without limitation, the following:
loss or gain of sales to significant customers on which the Company's business is highly dependent;
inability to achieve sales to new customers to replace lost business;
inability to develop, efficiently manufacture and deliver new products at competitive prices;
failure of the Company's customers to achieve success or maintain market share;
failure to protect our intellectual property rights;
risks of doing business in countries outside the U.S. that affect our substantial international operations;
political, economic, and regulatory factors concerning the Company's products;
uncertain economic conditions in countries in which the Company does business;
competition from other manufacturers, including manufacturers in lower-cost countries and manufacturers benefiting from government subsidies;
impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
a change in the amount of the Company's underfunded defined benefit pension plan liability;
an increase in the operating costs incurred by the Company's business units, including, for example, the cost of raw materials and energy;
inability to successfully identify, complete or integrate strategic acquisitions; failure to realize the expected benefits of such acquisitions and assumption of unanticipated risks in such acquisitions;
disruption to the Company's manufacturing facilities;
the impact of public health epidemics on employees, production and the global economy, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) currently impacting the global economy;
an information technology system failure or breach;

Executive Summary
Tredegar is a manufacturer of aluminum extrusions through its Aluminum Extrusions segment, polyethylene plastic films through its PE Films segment, and polyester films through its Flexible Packaging Films segment. Aluminum Extrusions produces high-quality, soft-alloy and medium-strength aluminum extrusions primarily for building and construction, automotive, and specialty, which consists of consumer durables, machinery and equipment, electrical and distribution end-use products. PE Films is composed of surface protection films, personal care materials, polyethylene overwrap films and films for other markets. Flexible Packaging Films produces polyester-based films for use in packaging applications that have specialized properties, such as heat resistance, strength, barrier protection and the ability to accept high-quality print graphics.
Second quarter 2020 net income was $11.2 million ($0.33 per share) compared with a net income of $14.5 million ($0.44 per share) in the second quarter of 2019.
Second quarter 2020 results include:
An after-tax gain on the Company’s investment in kaléo, Inc. (“kaléo”) of $0.9 million ($0.03 per share), which is accounted for under the fair value method (see Note 7 for more details)
Second quarter 2019 results include:
An after-tax gain on the Company’s investment in kaléo of $5.6 million ($0.17 per share), which is accounted for under the fair value method (see Note 7 for more details).
Other losses related to asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities are described in Note 3. Losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items are described in Results of Operations. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from ongoing operations is the measure of profit and loss used by Tredegar’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for purposes of assessing financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. This measure is separately included in the financial information regularly provided to the CODM.
THE IMPACT OF COVID-19
Essential Business and Employee Considerations
The Company’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be to protect the health and safety of employees while keeping its manufacturing sites open due to the essential nature of many of its products. The Company’s businesses have been deemed “essential services,” “critical manufacturers,” and “life sustaining industries” under applicable state or national stay-at-home orders and, therefore, remain operational as of the date of this communication. Within the limitations imposed by the health and safety procedures described below, the Company has continued to manufacture the full range of products at its facilities, including certain products that are components for end-uses that are essential, critical or life sustaining such as: (i) polyester-based materials for flexible food packaging, (ii) polyethylene-based film and laminate materials for personal hygiene and packaging products, (iii) aluminum extrusion parts for hospital beds, FEMA tents, temporary hospital structures and medical equipment, (iv) materials for face masks and face shields, and (v) polyethylene-based films used to protect components of flat panel displays during manufacturing and transportation processes, which are instrumental to allowing employees to work from home.
The Company’s efforts to protect the health and well-being of its employees from COVID-19 began at the Company’s Guangzhou, China facility. Protocols developed at Guangzhou guided the Company's COVID-19 related efforts at other facilities as the outbreak spread beyond China. Those efforts continue to improve as COVID-19 informed work practices evolve and the Company responds to recommended and mandated actions of government and health authorities.
The Company has educated employees about COVID-19 symptoms and hygiene best practices. It has adopted COVID-19 related pay and sick leave policies that incentivize employees to stay home if they feel ill or have been exposed to others with the illness. The Company’s policies include taking an employee’s temperature before entering production facilities; mandating handwashing; requiring social distancing and, where social distancing is difficult, requiring face coverings; streamlining onsite personnel to only those required for production and distribution; strongly encouraging and, where mandated, requiring remote work for all those who can work from home; and disinfecting facilities. In the U.S., the Company has educated employees on COVID-19-related government benefits.
On April 1, 2020, the Company began providing a weekly dashboard to its Board of Directors (the “Board”) highlighting the impacts of COVID-19 on its employees, businesses and financial condition.
As of August 5, the Company was aware that 102 of its employees have had confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the outbreak began, with no fatalities and 81 of those employees having returned to work. Additional employees have been absent

or self-quarantined due to COVID-19. Bonnell Aluminum is experiencing higher than normal absenteeism which it attributes to COVID-19-related factors. Since the last update provided in the Company’s first-quarter earnings release as of May 6, 2020, no facilities have been fully shut down and measures to disinfect facilities have not had a significant impact on production.
Bonnell Aluminum continuously attempts to match its direct labor with demand, including declining demand associated with the pandemic. Since the last update provided in the Company’s first-quarter earnings release as of May 6, 2020, Bonnell Aluminum has recalled some of the 240 workers who were subject to layoffs earlier in the year, as customers in the specialty and automotive markets began to re-open.
Financial Considerations
The 2020 annual plan for Bonnell Aluminum (pre-COVID-19) included sales volume of 201 million pounds and EBITDA from ongoing operations of $65 million, versus 2019 sales volume of 208 million pounds and EBITDA from ongoing operations of $65.7 million. Bonnell Aluminum’s current projection for 2020, which accounts for the pandemic that is highly uncertain, includes sales volume of 170 million pounds and EBITDA from ongoing operations of $42 million. The latest projections assume no further downtime at Bonnell Aluminum facilities and the collection of approximately 97% of gross accounts receivable, which totaled approximately $57 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
Approximately 58% of Bonnell Aluminum’s net sales in 2019 were related to building and construction (“B&C”) markets (non-residential B&C of 51% and residential B&C of 8%). Much of the current sales volume associated with the B&C market is related to contracts that existed at the start of COVID-19. Once completed, the level of new contracts is highly uncertain. During the economic downturn from 2007 to 2009 (also known as “The Great Recession”), the Company estimates that the aluminum extrusion industry demand peak-to-trough fell approximately 40% from 2006 to 2009, with sequential annual declines during this period of approximately 13%, 13% and 20%, respectively.
Demand has remained strong under COVID-19 conditions for the Company’s flexible food packaging films produced by Terphane and the hygiene materials and medical apertured films produced by the Personal Care component of PE Films. The Surface Protection component of PE Films had record performance for EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter and first half of 2020, but is expecting a slowdown for the second half of the year, based on industry projections for products using flat panel displays and anticipated customer inventory corrections. No significant issues have arisen to-date on the collection of accounts receivable at Terphane, Personal Care or Surface Protection.
Tredegar’s defined benefit pension plan, which was frozen at the end of 2007, was underfunded on a GAAP basis by $100 million at December 31, 2019, comprised of investments at fair value of $218 million and a projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) of $318 million. GAAP accounting requires adjustment for changes in values of assets and the PBO only at the end of each year, even though the value of these amounts changes daily. The Company estimates COVID-19-related changes to the values of pension plan assets and liabilities resulted in an increase in the underfunding from $100 million to $130 million at June 30, 2020.
Tredegar owns approximately 18% of kaléo, Inc. (“kaléo”), which makes and sells an epinephrine delivery device under the name AUVI-Q®. The Company accounts for its investment in kaléo on a fair value basis. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of its interest in kaléo at June 30, 2020 was $70.7 million ($58.4 million after deferred income taxes), which represents an increase of $1.3 million ($0.9 million after deferred income taxes) and a decrease of $24.8 million ($19.5 million after deferred income taxes) since March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decline in estimated fair value during the first six months of 2020 was primarily due to: (i) lower expectations for 2020 EBITDA and net cash flow associated with lower market demand for epinephrine delivery devices resulting from COVID-19-related social distancing guidelines, especially if such guidelines or restrictions impact the peak back-to-school season, and (ii) a higher private company liquidity discount. kaléo’s stock is not publicly traded. The ultimate value of Tredegar’s ownership interest in kaléo could be materially different from the $70.7 million estimated fair value reflected in the Company’s financial statements at June 30, 2020.
Tredegar had debt (all under its revolving credit agreement) of $34.0 million and cash of $39.9 million at June 30, 2020. The revolving credit agreement allows borrowings of up to $500 million and matures in June 2024. The Company believes that its most restrictive covenant (computed quarterly) is the leverage ratio, which permits maximum borrowings of up to 4x EBITDA, as defined under the revolving credit agreement for the trailing four quarters (“Credit EBITDA”). The Company had Credit EBITDA and a leverage ratio (calculated in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the Company’s Quarterly Report on the period ended June 30, 2020 ("Form 10-Q")) of $97.1 million and 0.35x, respectively, at June 30, 2020. The Company’s current stress testing under a COVID-19-driven recession indicates a low probability that a future leverage ratio will exceed 4.0x, given the low leverage ratio that exists today. The Company is focused on conserving cash and borrowing capacity, has reduced its capital expenditures budget for 2020 from $47 million to $31 million and continues to optimize working capital. The Company’s current quarterly dividend at 12 cents per share aggregates to quarterly dividend payments of approximately $4 million. All decisions with respect to the declaration and payment of dividends will be made by the Board based upon earnings, financial condition, anticipated cash needs, restrictions under the revolving credit agreement and other relevant considerations.

Second Quarter 2020 Results vs. Second Quarter 2019 Results
Net sales (sales less freight) in the second quarter of 2020 decreased versus 2019 primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices to cover higher operating costs. Sales volume in the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 17.5% versus 2019. Sales volume in the specialty and automotive markets, which represented approximately 32% and 9% of 2019 sales, respectively, experienced double-digit declines for the period. Non-residential building and construction shipments were relatively flat, but the Company expects a decline in its shipments for this end market, potentially beginning later this year as a result of COVID-19-related reduced demand. See the “The Impact of COVID-19” section for more information on business conditions and projections.
EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2020 decreased by $5.3 million in comparison to the second quarter of 2019 due to lower volumes ($6.0 million) and higher labor and employee-related costs ($1.0 million), partially offset by higher pricing ($3.1 million). In addition, the timing of the flow through under the first-in first-out ("FIFO") method of aluminum raw material costs previously acquired at higher prices in a quickly dropping commodity pricing environment resulted in a charge of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 versus a charge of $0.4 in the second quarter of 2019.
First Six Months 2020 Results vs. First Six Months 2019 Results
Net sales in the first six months of 2020 decreased versus 2019 primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices to cover higher operating costs. Sales volume in the first six months of 2020 decreased by 14.7% versus 2019.
EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2020 decreased by $9.8 million in comparison to the first six months of 2019 due to lower volumes ($10.8 million) and higher labor and employee-related costs ($1.6 million), partially offset by higher pricing ($4.7 million). In addition, and consistent with second quarter results, inventories accounted for under the FIFO method resulted in a charge of $3.5 million in the first six months of 2020 versus a charge of $0.7 in the first six months of 2019.
Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum are projected to be $12 million in 2020, including the expected initial investment for a multi-year project to migrate to a new division-wide enterprise resource planning and manufacturing excellence system ($2 million, which reflects a delay in activity as a result of COVID-19), infrastructure upgrades at the Carthage, Tennessee and Newnan, Georgia facilities ($2 million), and approximately $9 million required to support continuity of current operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $14 million in 2020. Amortization expense is projected to be $3 million in 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Results vs. Second Quarter 2019 Results
Net sales in the second quarter of 2020 increased versus 2019 due to higher sales in Surface Protection. Surface Protection sales increased by $2.4 million while Personal Care sales decreased by $1.7 million.
Net sales in Surface Protection increased due to higher volume. As discussed further below, a possible customer product transition in Surface Protection continues to be delayed. Net sales in Personal Care decreased primarily due to unfavorable pricing. In addition, net sales in Personal Care were adversely impacted by the decline in the value of currencies for operations outside of the U.S. relative to the U.S. Dollar.
EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2020 increased by $4.2 million versus the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to:
A $0.7 million increase from Surface Protection, with the second quarters of 2020 and 2019 being the two highest quarters on record, primarily due to higher volume and product mix ($1.6 million), partially offset by lower productivity ($0.5 million) and higher research and development ("R&D") and other expenses ($0.3 million); and
A $2.5 million increase from Personal Care, primarily due to favorable product mix ($1.2 million), lower freight costs ($0.7 million) and a benefit from the timing of resin cost pass-throughs ($1.3 million), partially offset by unfavorable net foreign exchange impact ($0.5 million).
See the “The Impact of COVID-19” section for more information.
Customer Product Transitions in Personal Care and Surface Protection
The Company previously disclosed a significant customer product transition for the Personal Care component of PE Films. Annual sales for this product declined from approximately $70 million in 2018 to $30 million in 2019. The Company extended an arrangement with this customer that is expected to generate sales of this product at approximately 2019 levels through at least 2022.
Personal Care had approximately break-even EBITDA from ongoing operations in 2019 as competitive pressures resulted in missed sales and margin goals. Personal Care continues to focus on new business development and cost reduction initiatives in an effort to improve profitability.
The Surface Protection component of PE Films supports manufacturers of optical and other specialty substrates used in flat panel display products. These films are primarily used by customers to protect components of displays in the manufacturing and transportation processes and then discarded.
The Company previously reported the risk that a portion of its film products used in surface protection applications will be made obsolete by possible future customer product transitions to less costly alternative processes or materials. These transitions principally relate to one customer. The full transition continues to encounter delays, resulting in higher than expected sales to this customer in the last four quarters. The Company estimates that during the next four quarters the adverse impact on EBITDA from ongoing operations from this customer shift versus the last four quarters ended June 30, 2020 could possibly be $14 million. To offset the potential adverse impact, the Company is aggressively pursuing and making progress generating sales from new surface protection products, applications and customers.
First Six Months 2020 Results vs. First Six Months 2019 Results
31


Net sales in the first six months of 2020 increased versus 2019 due to higher sales in Surface Protection. Surface Protection sales increased by $10.9 million while Personal Care sales decreased by $5.3 million.
Net sales in Surface Protection increased due to higher volume and favorable mix. Net sales in Personal Care decreased as a result of lower volume and unfavorable pricing. In addition, net sales in Personal Care were adversely impacted by the decline in the value of currencies for operations outside of the U.S. relative to the U.S. Dollar.
EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2020 increased by $11.8 million versus the first six months of 2019 primarily due to:
A $6.1 million increase from Surface Protection, including record performance for the first half of 2020, primarily due to higher volume and mix (net favorable impact of $7.4 million), partially offset by lower productivity ($1.0 million) and higher R&D expense ($0.3 million); and
A $5.1 million increase from Personal Care, primarily due to favorable product mix ($1.3 million), the benefit of the timing of resin cost pass-throughs ($2.3 million), production efficiencies ($0.7 million), and lower freight costs ($0.8 million), partially offset by unfavorable pricing ($0.5 million).
Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures for PE Films are projected to be $13 million in 2020 including: $2 million to complete a scale-up line in Surface Protection to improve development and speed to market for new products; $2 million for other development projects; and $9 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of current operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $15 million in 2020. There is no amortization expense for PE Films.

Second Quarter 2020 Results vs. Second Quarter 2019 Results
Net sales in the second quarter of 2020 increased 2.0% compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs.
Terphane’s EBITDA from ongoing operations in the second quarter of 2020 increased by $3.6 million versus the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to:
Lower raw material costs ($4.0 million), higher sales volume ($1.1 million) and the benefit from production efficiencies resulting in lower variable costs ($0.7 million), partially offset by lower selling prices ($2.6 million);
Net favorable foreign currency translation of Real-denominated operating costs ($0.6 million); and
Foreign currency transaction losses of $0.3 million in 2020 versus losses of $0.1 million in 2019.
Terphane has experienced strong demand for food packaging materials during the COVID-19 environment, with high demand in the United States and Europe for value-added products. See the “The Impact of COVID-19” section for more information.
First Six Months 2020 Results vs. First Six Months 2019 Results
Net sales in the first six months of 2020 decreased 3.6% compared to the first six months of 2019 primarily due to lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs, partially offset by higher sales volume.
32


Terphane’s EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first six months of 2020 increased by $7.0 million versus the first six months of 2019 primarily due to:
Lower raw material costs ($9.2 million), higher sales volume ($1.2 million) and lower fixed costs ($0.4 million), partially offset by lower selling prices ($4.8 million) and higher variable costs ($0.3 million);
Net favorable foreign currency translation of Real-denominated costs ($0.9 million);
Foreign currency transaction losses of $0.2 million in the first six months of 2020 versus zero in 2019; and
A benefit of $1.2 million in the first three months of 2020 resulting from the favorable settlement of a dispute related to value-added taxes.
Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures for Flexible Packaging Films are projected to be $6 million in 2020, including $1 million for new capacity for value-added products and productivity projects and $5 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of current operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $1 million in 2020. Amortization expense is projected to be $0.4 million in 2020.
Corporate Expenses, Interest and Taxes
Pension expense was $7.1 million in the first six months of 2020, versus $4.8 million in the first six months of 2019. The impact on earnings from pension expense is reflected in “Corporate expenses, net” in the net sales and operating profit by segment table in Note 11. Pension expense is projected to be approximately $14 million in 2020, which is determined at the beginning of the year based on the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan and actuarial assumptions at that time. See the “The Impact of COVID-19” section for the Company’s estimate of the funded status of the pension plan at June 30, 2020. Corporate expenses, net, increased in the first six months of 2020 versus 2019 primarily due to higher consulting fees ($2.2 million) related to the identification and remediation of previously disclosed material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and business development activities.
Interest expense was $1.1 million in the first six months of 2020 in comparison to $2.5 million in the first six months of 2019, primarily due to lower average debt levels.
The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes in the first six months of 2020 was 23.8% compared to 19.8% in the first six months of 2019. The differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2020 and 2019 are shown in the table provided in Note 12.
Net capitalization and other credit measures are provided in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes the estimates, assumptions and judgments described in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of the 2019 Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so Tredegar considers these to be its critical accounting policies. These policies include accounting for impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, investment accounted for under the fair value method, pension benefits and income taxes. These policies require management to exercise judgments that are often difficult, subjective and complex due to the necessity of estimating the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes the consistent application of these policies enables it to provide readers of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition. Since December 31, 2019, there have been no changes in these policies that have had a material impact on results of operations or financial position. For more information on new accounting pronouncements, see Note 13.
Results of Operations
Second Quarter of 2020 Compared with the Second Quarter of 2019

Overall, sales in the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 11.9% compared with the second quarter of 2019. Net sales decreased 22.4% in Aluminum Extrusions primarily due to lower sales volume and the pass-through of lower metal costs, partially offset by an increase in average selling prices to cover higher operating costs. Net sales increased 2.7% in PE Films primarily due to higher volume in Surface Protection, partially offset by Personal Care due to unfavorable pricing. Net sales in Flexible Packaging Films increased 2.0% primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by lower selling prices from the pass-through of lower resin costs. For more information on net sales and volume, see the Executive Summary.
33


Consolidated gross profit (sales minus cost of goods sold and freight) as a percentage of sales was 22.6% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 18.8% in the second quarter of 2019. The gross profit margin in Aluminum Extrusions decreased primarily as a result of lower sales prices resulting from lower metal prices. The gross profit margin in PE Films increased primarily due to higher profits in Surface Protection as a result of higher sales volume and favorable product mix. The gross profit margin in Flexible Packaging Films increased due to lower raw material costs and production efficiencies.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and R&D expenses were 13.8% in the second quarter of 2020, compared with 11.8% in the second quarter of last year. SG&A expenses were up year-over-year, while net sales decreased. Increased spending was due to consulting fees associated with the remediation activities and other costs relating to the Company’s material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and business development activities.
Pre-tax losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items for continuing operations in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019 detailed below are shown in the statements of net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment table in Note 11 and are included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments” in the consolidated statements of income, unless otherwise noted.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company continues to focus on improving working capital management. Measures such as days sales outstanding (“DSO”), days inventory outstanding (“DIO”) and days payables outstanding (“DPO”) are used to evaluate changes in working capital. Changes in operating assets and liabilities from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 are summarized as follows:
 
Accounts and other receivables decreased $7.1 million (6.6%).
Accounts and other receivables in Aluminum Extrusions decreased by $6.8 million primarily due to lower sales volume, lower sales prices due to the pass-through of lower metal costs, and the timing of cash receipts. DSO (represents trailing 12 months net sales divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts and other receivables balances) was approximately 48.1 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 48.5 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Accounts and other receivables in PE Films decreased by $2.5 million primarily due to a focus on collection efforts and the timing of cash receipts. DSO was approximately 39.3 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 44.0 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Accounts and other receivables in Flexible Packaging Films increased by $2.2 million primarily due to the timing of cash receipts. DSO was approximately 41.1 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 37.7 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Inventories increased $3.8 million (4.7%).
Inventories in Aluminum Extrusions increased by $2.5 million due to the timing of purchases. DIO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in, first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of inventory balances calculated on the first-in, first-out basis) was approximately 39.1 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 38.6 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Inventories in PE Films increased by $3.6 million primarily due to higher planned inventory levels. DIO was approximately 56.3 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 55.7 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Inventories in Flexible Packaging Films decreased by approximately $2.2 million primarily due to lower resin costs. DIO was approximately 89.9 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 94.3 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Net property, plant and equipment decreased $13.0 million (5.3%) primarily due to depreciation expenses of $15.4 million and a reduction from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates of $6.9 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $8.8 million.
Identifiable intangibles, net decreased by $1.9 million (8.3%) primarily due to amortization expense of $1.5 million.
Accounts payable decreased $10.8 million (10.4%).
Accounts payable in Aluminum Extrusions decreased by $10.2 million primarily due to lower aluminum raw material costs and the normal volatility associated with the timing of payments. DPO (represents trailing 12 months costs of goods sold calculated on a first-in, first-out basis divided by a rolling 12-month average of accounts payable balances) was approximately 52.6 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 49.9 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
37


Accounts payable in PE Films was consistent with December 31, 2019 due to efficient management of net working capital, partially offset by non-trade payables in support of planned capital projects. DPO was approximately 46.3 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 44.9 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Accounts payable in Flexible Packaging Films decreased $1.4 million due to the lower raw material costs. DPO was approximately 59.6 days for the 12 months ended June 30, 2020 and 55.2 days for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019.
Net cash provided by operating activities declined by $32.4 million primarily due to an increase in certain net working capital items (accounts receivable, inventories and prepaids net of accounts payable and accrued expenses) of $15.1 million in the six months months of 2020 versus a decrease of $9.7 million in the first six months of 2019 and the kaléo dividend of $17.6 million in 2019, partially offset by higher EBITDA for business segments of $9.0 million in the first 6 months of 2020 versus last year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $8.8 million in the first six months of 2020 compared with $24.2 million in the first six months of 2019. Cash used in investing activities primarily represents capital expenditures, which were $8.8 million and $24.3 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Net cash used in financing activities of $16.6 million in the first six months of 2020 was primarily related to net repayments of $8.0 million under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the payment of regular quarterly dividends of $8.0 million (24 cents per share). Cash used in financing activities of $38.4 million in the first six months of 2019 was primarily related to net repayments of $28.5 million under the prior credit agreement, debt financing costs of $1.8 million and the payment of regular quarterly dividends of $7.3 million (22 cents per share).
Further information on cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is provided in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
On June 28, 2019, Tredegar entered into a $500 million five-year, secured revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), with an option to increase that amount by $100 million.
Net capitalization and indebtedness as defined under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2020 were as follows:

At June 30, 2020, the interest rate on debt under the Credit Agreement existing at that date was priced at one-month LIBOR plus the applicable credit spread of 150 basis points. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings are permitted up to $500 million, and approximately $354 million was available to borrow at June 30, 2020 based upon the most restrictive covenants within the Credit Agreement.
The most restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:
Maximum indebtedness-to-Credit EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio”) of 4.00x;
Minimum Credit EBITDA-to-interest expense of 3.00x; and
Maximum aggregate distributions to shareholders over the term of the Credit Agreement of $130 million plus, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, 50% of net income and, at a Leverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 3.00x, a limitation on such payments for the succeeding quarter at the greater of (i) $4.75 million and (ii) 50% of consolidated net income for the most recent fiscal quarter.
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. 
Credit EBITDA is not intended to represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to either net income (loss) or to cash flow. The computations of Credit EBITDA and the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement are presented below.

Maximum leverage ratio permitted4.00 x
Minimum interest coverage ratio permitted3.00 x
As of June 30, 2020, Tredegar was in compliance with all financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. Noncompliance with any one or more of the debt covenants may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or liquidity in the event such noncompliance cannot be cured or should the Company be unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders as we would not be permitted to borrow under the credit facility and any amounts outstanding would become due and payable. Renegotiation of the covenant(s) through an amendment to the Credit Agreement could effectively cure the noncompliance, but could have an effect on financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the covenant is renegotiated.
At June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $39.9 million, including cash and cash equivalents held by locations outside the U.S. of $28.9 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Tredegar has exposure to the volatility of interest rates, polyethylene and polypropylene resin prices, Terephthalic Acid (“PTA”) and Monoethylene Glycol (“MEG”) prices, aluminum ingot and scrap prices, energy prices, foreign currencies and emerging markets. See Liquidity and Capital Resources regarding interest rate exposures related to borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Profit margins in Aluminum Extrusions are sensitive to fluctuations in aluminum ingot and scrap prices as well as natural gas prices (natural gas is the principal energy source used to operate its casting furnaces). Changes in polyethylene resin prices, and the timing of those changes, could have a significant impact on profit margins in PE Films. Changes in polyester resin, PTA and MEG prices, and the timing of those changes, could have a significant impact on profit margins in Flexible Packaging Films. There is no assurance of the Company’s ability to pass through higher raw material and energy costs to its customers.
In the normal course of business, Aluminum Extrusions enters into fixed-price forward sales contracts with certain customers for the sale of fixed quantities of aluminum extrusions at scheduled intervals. In order to hedge its exposure to aluminum price volatility (see the chart below) under these fixed-price arrangements, which generally have a duration of not more than 12 months, the Company enters into a combination of forward purchase commitments and futures contracts to acquire or hedge aluminum, based on the scheduled deliveries. See Note 8 for additional information.
The volatility of quarterly average aluminum prices is shown in the chart below.

In February 2020, IHS reflected a 32 cents per pound non-market adjustment based on their estimate of the growth of discounts in prior periods. The 4th quarter 2019 average rate of $0.51 per pound is shown on a pro forma basis as if the non-market adjustment was made in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Polyethylene resin prices in Europe, Asia and South America have exhibited similar long-term trends. The price of resin is driven by several factors, including supply and demand and the price of oil, ethylene and natural gas. To address fluctuating resin prices, PE Films has index-based pass-through raw material cost agreements for the majority of its business. However, under certain agreements, changes in resin prices are not passed through for an average period of 90 days. Pricing on the remainder of the business is based upon raw material costs and supply/demand dynamics within the markets that the Company competes.
Polyester resins, MEG and PTA used in flexible packaging films produced in Brazil are primarily purchased domestically, with other sources available mostly from Asia and the U.S. Given the nature of these products as commodities, pricing is derived from Asian pricing indexes. The volatility of the average quarterly prices for polyester fibers in Asia, which is representative of polyester resin (a primary raw material for Flexible Packaging Films) pricing trends, is shown in the chart below:

The Company sells to customers in foreign markets through its foreign operations and through exports from U.S. plants. The percentage of sales for manufacturing operations related to foreign markets for the first six months of 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

* The percentages for foreign markets are relative to Tredegar’s total net sales from ongoing operations
Tredegar attempts to match the pricing and cost of its products in the same currency and generally views the volatility of foreign currencies and the corresponding impact on earnings and cash flow as part of the overall risk of operating in a global environment (for additional information, see trends for the Euro, Brazilian Real and Chinese Yuan in the charts on the following page). Exports from the U.S. are generally denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Company’s foreign currency exposure on income from continuing foreign operations relates to the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the Hungarian Forint, the Brazilian Real and the Indian Rupee.
PE Films is generally able to match the currency of its sales and costs for its product lines. For flexible packaging films produced in Brazil, selling prices and key raw material costs are principally determined in U.S. Dollars and are impacted by local economic conditions and local and global competitive dynamics. Flexible Packaging Films is exposed to foreign exchange translation risk (its functional currency is the Brazilian Real) because almost 90% of the sales of Flexible Packaging Films business unit in Brazil (“Terphane Ltda.”) and substantially all of its related raw material costs are quoted or priced in U.S. Dollars while its variable conversion, fixed conversion and sales, general and administrative costs before depreciation and amortization (collectively “Terphane Ltda. Operating Costs”). This mismatch, together with a variety of economic variables impacting currency exchange rates, causes volatility that could negatively or positively impact EBITDA from ongoing operations for Flexible Packaging Films.
The Company estimates annual net costs of R$136 million for the net mismatch translation exposure between Terphane Ltda.’s U.S. Dollar quoted or priced sales and raw material costs and underlying Brazilian Real quoted or priced Terphane Ltda. Operating Costs quoted or priced in Brazilian Real. Terphane Ltda. has outstanding foreign exchange average forward rate contracts to purchase Brazilian Real and sell U.S. Dollars to hedge its exposure. See Note 8 for more information on outstanding hedging contracts and this hedging program.
Tredegar estimates that the change in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar on PE Films had a unfavorable impact on operating profit from ongoing operations in PE Films of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared with the second quarter of 2019 and had an unfavorable impact of $1.1 million in the first six months of 2020 compared with the first six months of 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
On November 1, 2018, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “November Form 8-K”) to disclose deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting. For further information, see the November Form 8-K and Item 4. “Controls and Procedures” of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018 (the "2018 Third Quarter 10-Q").
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2020.
Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020, to ensure: (i) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by or under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and overseen by the Board of Directors, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “2013 COSO Framework”). As a result of this evaluation, management concluded, as disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K, that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Control Environment: The Company did not have a sufficient number of trained resources with assigned responsibility and accountability for the design, operation and documentation of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the 2013 COSO Framework.
Risk Assessment: The Company did not have an effective risk assessment process that defined clear financial reporting objectives and evaluated risks, including fraud risks, and risks resulting from changes in the external environment and business operations, at a sufficient level of detail to identify all relevant risks of material misstatement across the entity.
46


Information and Communication: The Company did not have an effective information and communication process that identified and assessed the source of and controls necessary to ensure the reliability of information used in financial reporting and that communicates relevant information about roles and responsibilities for internal control over financial reporting.
Monitoring Activities: The Company did not have effective monitoring activities to assess the operation of internal control over financial reporting, including the continued appropriateness of control design and level of documentation maintained to support control effectiveness.
Control Activities: As a consequence of the material weaknesses described above, internal control deficiencies related to the design and operation of process-level controls and general information technology controls were determined to be pervasive throughout the Company’s financial reporting processes.
While these material weaknesses did not result in material misstatements of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, these material weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures in annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the deficiencies represent material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, which audited the 2019 consolidated financial statements included in the 2019 Form 10-K, expressed an adverse opinion on the operating effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan
The Company’s remediation efforts are ongoing, and it will continue its initiatives to implement and document policies and procedures, and strengthen the Company’s internal control environment. Remediation of the identified material weaknesses and strengthening the Company’s internal control environment will extend into 2021. In addition, the Company is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on its remediation plan. Depending on the severity and length of the pandemic, the remediation timeline could be negatively impacted because of inefficiencies caused by COVID-related limitations on travel, meetings, on-site work and close collaboration and the related increase in time necessary to complete remediation projects.
The material weaknesses cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
To remediate the material weaknesses described above, the Company is pursuing the six remediation steps identified in the 2018 Third Quarter 10-Q. To date, the Company has accomplished the following as part of those remediation steps:
a.Identified material processes and significant locations for the purpose of identifying risks of material misstatement to the Company’s financial statements,
b.Conducted interviews with relevant parties to ensure our understanding of the activities involved in the recording of transactions within material processes,
c.Substantially completed a comprehensive review and update, as necessary, of the documentation of relevant processes with respect to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting,
d.Documented significant elements of a comprehensive risk assessment and internal control gap analysis and commenced the validation thereof with key stakeholders,
e.Commenced the design of certain new or redesigned internal controls, and
f.Commenced the implementation of internal controls for certain processes within its Aluminum Extrusions business and its corporate functions.
The Company continues to work with its outside consultant, an internationally recognized accounting firm, to assist in completing the remediation plan. The Company believes that its remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen its internal control over financial reporting. As the Company continues to evaluate, and works to improve, its internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary. The Company cannot assure you, however, when it will remediate such weaknesses, nor can it be certain whether additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions. Moreover, the Company cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of implementing certain changes in its internal controls to remediate the material weaknesses described above. The implementation of the material aspects of this plan began in the second quarter of 2019.
47


During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company, with the assistance of its outside consultant, began designing and implementing internal controls for certain processes within its Aluminum business and its corporate function. Except as noted above with respect to the implementation of the remediation plan, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
