. The increase was due primarily to higher costs related to certain corporate initiatives, including our clean energy initiatives, and higher incentive compensation due to strong operating performance. 

U.K. Operations Restructuring

In the second quarter of 2022, we approved and announced our proposed plan to restructure our U.K. operations, including the planned permanent closure of the Ince facility, which had been idled since September 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, the final restructuring plan was approved, and the facility was subsequently decommissioned. In the first quarter of 2025, we sold our Ince facility and recognized a loss of $23 million. See Note 6—Property, Plant and Equipment—Net for additional information on the sale of our Ince facility.

Integration Costs

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred integration costs of $4 million related to our December 1, 2023 acquisition of an ammonia production facility located in Waggaman, Louisiana. We did not incur integration costs in 2025.

Other Operating—Net 

Other operating—net was $22 million of expense in the first six months of 2025 compared to $22 million of income in the first six months of 2024. The $22 million of expense in the first six months of 2025 consists primarily of costs related to FEED studies for our clean energy initiatives. The $22 million of income in the six months ended June 30, 2024 consists primarily of gains on sales of emission credits, partially offset by costs related to FEED studies for our clean energy initiatives. See “Our Strategy,” above, for additional information related to our clean energy initiatives.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Operating Affiliate

Equity in earnings (losses) of operating affiliate was $6 million of earnings in the first six months of 2025 compared to a $1 million loss in the first six months of 2024. Equity in earnings of operating affiliate in the first six months of 2025 reflects an increase in the operating results of PLNL due primarily to higher ammonia selling prices and a plant turnaround at the PLNL facility that occurred in the second quarter of 2024 that did not recur in 2025, partially offset by higher natural gas costs. 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense was $73 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to $74 million in the first six months of 202
