Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

• disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future;

• the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;

• disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations;

• changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change;

• fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;

• demand for our products and services;

• production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;

• information systems failures and cyberattacks;

• amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions;

• other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts, tariffs and any recessionary conditions; and

• other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under Item 1A, “ Risk Factors.”
