ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS 

Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2024 Annual Report sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect the company's business, financial condition and operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in Ingevity's risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2024 Annual Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.  

Recent changes to tariffs could negatively impact our business.

The U.S. government has imposed or announced new global tariffs, and is considering the imposition of additional tariffs. These new tariffs have resulted in retaliatory measures imposed, announced or under consideration by certain U.S. trading partners, most notably China. These changes to trade policy are expected to make it more difficult or costly for us to export our products and import raw materials. This in turn could require us to increase prices to our customers, which may reduce demand. Such demand reduction or inability to increase customer prices may negatively impact our profitability. The retaliatory tariff measures imposed by China, if not unwound, are expected to significantly lower our margin on Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals products sold from the United States into China. These tariff measures may also result in decreased demand for our customers' products that incorporate our products, and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Disruptions at any of our facilities could negatively impact our production, financial condition and results of operations. 

Disruptions to any of our manufacturing operations or other facilities due to natural disasters and extreme weather, such as a hurricane, tropical storm, earthquake, tornado, severe weather, flood or fire, or other unanticipated problems such as labor difficulties, pandemics, equipment failure, cyberattacks or other cybersecurity incidents, capacity expansion difficulties or unscheduled maintenance, planned or unplanned production slowdowns and shutdowns, turnarounds and outages, could cause operational disruptions of varied duration. 

Following the closing of the Divestiture, Mainstream Pine Products, LLC (“Mainstream”) will be operating within the footprint of our North Charleston, South Carolina facility. Disruptions to Mainstream’s operations, as well as any inability of Mainstream to supply us with Tall Oil Fatty Acid or other CTO derived products, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Also, many of our production employees are governed by collective bargaining agreements ("CBAs"). The CBA at our Warr
