 result of, or in connection with, these actions.Inventory ChargesThe company believes the collective actions of workforce, operational, and regional business exits will hinder our ability to dispose of the associated inventory on hand. As a result, we recorded zero and $2.5 million of non-cash, lower of cost or market, inventory charges during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, to adjust the carrying value of the impacted inventory to what we expect to realize upon disposal, less disposal costs. These inventory charges are recorded to "Cost of sales" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Since these inventory charges are directly attributable to the Performance Chemicals repositioning, that is, they do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate our business, we have excluded such impact from the financial results of our Performance Chemicals reportable segment. Refer to Note 14 for more information.  CTO Resale ActivityThe DeRidder Plant closure, and the corresponding reduction in CTO refining capacity, significantly reduced our CTO volume requirements. However, we were obligated, under an existing CTO supply contract, to purchase CTO volumes through 2025 at amounts in excess of the CTO volumes needed to support our business operations. To manage this excess inventory, we sold CTO volumes (herein referred to as "CTO resales") in the open market. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we have incurred zero and $26.5 million, respectively, of CTO resale losses, which are recorded as "Other (income) expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.On July 1, 2024, the CTO supply contract that resulted in these excess CTO volumes was terminated. As consideration for the termination of the CTO supply contract, we made cash payments totaling $100.0 million during 2024. The charge was recorded within "Other (income) expense, net" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the termination, the purchases under the CTO supply contract ended effective June 30, 2024. The CTO resale activity described above ended in 2024 and no excess CTO volumes were on hand at March 31, 2025.
