 affect our financial statements.

We continually assess the strategic fit of our existing businesses and may divest, spin-off, split-off or otherwise dispose of businesses that are deemed not to fit with our strategic plan or are not achieving the desired return on investment. For example, on November 30, 2023, the Company completed the EP Divestiture. Transactions such as the EP Divestiture pose risks and challenges that could negatively impact our business and financial statements. Furthermore, when we decide to sell assets or a business, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, which could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives. We may also dispose of a business at a price or on terms that are different than current balance sheet values, which could result in significant asset impairment charges, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may experience greater dis-synergies than expected, the impact of the divestiture on our revenue may be larger than projected, and some divestitures may be dilutive to earnings. There can be no assurance whether the strategic benefits and expected financial impact of any divestiture, including the EP Divestiture, will be achieved. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in divesting a business or product line, and any divestiture we undertake could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Mativ will likely continue to incur substantial costs related to the Merger integration. 

Mativ will likely continue to incur substantial integration costs in connection with the Merger. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the Merger and the integration of the two companies’ businesses, including purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll, pricing and benefits. 

While Mativ has assumed that certain expenses would be incurred in connection with the Merger and the integration of the businesses, there are many factors beyond Mativ’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration expenses. Moreover, many of the costs that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. Although Mativ expects that the elimination of duplicative costs and the realization of other economies of scale-related efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses may offset incremental Merger-related and integration costs over time
