The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

11. Income Taxes
We manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and therefore have our tax residency in the U.K. The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for the U.K. and international income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.K. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the first halfQuarter ended JuneMarch 27, 2021,2022, was 7.7%24.5%, compared to 19.0%21.1% for the 26-week periodQuarter ended JuneMarch 28, 2020. The 2021 rate has been impacted by a $2.8 million deferred tax credit as a result of the enacted increase in the U.K. tax rate from 19% to 25% from April 2023.

The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectations, and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

14. SegmentalSegment Information
We classify our operations into 2 core business segments, Gas Cylinders and Elektron, based primarily on shared economic characteristics for the nature of the products and services; the nature of the production processes; the type or class of customer for their products and services; the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has 4 identified business units, which aggregate into the 2 reportable segments. Luxfer Gas Cylinders forms the Gas Cylinders segment, and Luxfer MEL Technologies, Luxfer Magtech and Luxfer Graphic Arts aggregate into the Elektron segment. The Superform business unit used to aggregate into the Gas Cylinders segment but is now recognized as discontinued operations. A summary of the operations of the segments is provided below:
Gas Cylinders segment
Our Gas Cylinders segment manufactures and markets specialized products using composites and aluminum, including pressurized cylinders for use in various applications including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for firefighters, containment of oxygen and other medical gases for healthcare, alternative fuel vehicles, and general industrial.
Elektron segment
Our Elektron segment focuses on specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium, with key product lines including advanced lightweight magnesium alloys with a variety of uses across a variety of industries; magnesium powders for use in countermeasure flares, as well as heater meals; photoengraving plates for graphic arts; and high-performance zirconium-based materials and oxides used as catalysts and in the manufacture of advanced ceramics, fiber-optic fuel cells, and many other performance products.
Other
Other primarily represents unallocated corporate expense and includes non-service related defined benefit pension cost / credit.
14. Segmental Information (continued)
Management monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments as the CEO, using adjusted EBITA(1) and adjusted EBITDA, which we defined as segment income and are based on operating income adjusted for share based compensation charges; loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment; restructuring charges; impairment charges; acquisition and disposal related gains and costs; other charges; depreciation and amortization; and unwind of the discount on deferred consideration.
1 Adjusted EBITA is adjusted EBITDA less depreciationdefined benefit pension credit.
Unallocated assets and liabilities include those which are held on behalf of the Company and cannot be allocated to a segment, such as taxation, investments, cash, retirement benefits obligations, bank and other loans and holding company assets and liabilities.
(1) Adjusted EBITA is adjusted EBITDA less depreciation.

Contingencies
During February 2014, a cylinder was sold to a long-term customer and ruptured at one of their gas facilities. As a result of this rupture, 3 people were noted to have injuries such as loss of hearing. There was no major damage to assets of the customer. A claim has been launched by the 3 people who were injured in the incident. We have reviewed our quality control checks from around the time which the cylinder was produced and no instances of failures have been noted. As a result we do not believe that we are liable for the incident, and therefore, do not currently expect this case to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In November 2018, an alleged explosion occurred at a third-party waste disposal and treatment site in Boise,
Idaho, allegedlyreportedly causing property damage, personal injury, and one fatality. We had contracted with a service
company for removal and disposal of certain waste resulting from the magnesium powder manufacturing
operations at the Reade facility in Manchester,Lakehurst, New Jersey. We believe this service company, in turn, apparently
contracted with the third-party disposal company, at whose facility the explosion occurred, for treatment and
disposal of the waste. In November 2020, we were named as a defendant in 3 lawsuits in relation to the
incident – one1 by the third-party disposal company, one1 by the estate of the decedent, and one1 by an injured
employee of the third-party disposal company. At present, we have received insufficient information on the cause
of the explosion. We do not believe that we are liable for the incident, have asserted such, and, therefore, do not
currently expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Key trends and uncertainties regarding our existing business
ImpactUpdate on ongoing challenging global macro environment and related impact on supply chain disruption
Demand from most end-markets we serve has continued to improve following the adverse impact of COVID-19 on operationsvolumes, notably in 2020. This sharp recovery in demand across the global macro environment has resulted in supply chain challenges characterized by significant increases in material cost inflation on key inputs (including magnesium, aluminum and carbon fiber), labor availability issues and energy and transport cost increases. Additionally, in the prior year we were faced with two critical suppliers of magnesium and zirconium respectively declaring force majeure, of which the former remains in place. The developing conflict in Ukraine which has resulted in punitive sanctions against the Russian Federation has further exacerbated the availability and price of certain raw materials and energy supplies. In response to the supply chain disruption, we have been successful in securing alternative sources of supply for key material inputs affected by force majeure. Furthermore, in the majority of cases, we are able to pass through inflation to our customers. Currently, our expectation is that the impact of material availability / inflation and energy cost inflation and labor and transport constraints will continue into at least the second half of 2022; that we will be able to source sufficient material to meet demand and that in the majority of cases we expect to be able to pass on cost increases. However the outlook remains highly uncertain with both the size and timing of future cost increases difficult to predict.
Luxfer’s top priority during this global pandemic is the health and well-beingImpact of our employees, customers, shareholders, and the communitiesconflict in which we operate. The Company continues to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, while simultaneously executing business continuity plans. These business continuity plans include, but are not limited to, (i) retooling operations to maintain social distance and maximize employee safety; (ii) increasing resources and efforts to satisfy demand from the most impactful parts of our business; (iii) expanding flexible work arrangements and policies, where practical, to maximize employee safety; and (iv) providing regular updates to our shareholders, employees, customers, and suppliers in a transparent and timely manner.Ukraine
Luxfer delivered strong second quarter results amidThe Russian invasion of Ukraine and ongoing military conflict which commenced on February 24, 2022, has resulted in massive displacement of the continued global economic recovery fromUkrainian population and huge disruption to its economy. Wide-ranging sanctions have been imposed on the COVID-19 pandemic, reportingRussian Federation by the international community, targeting individuals, banks, businesses, funds transfers and imports and exports and are expected to have a 29.2% increase in quartersignificant adverse impact on quarter revenues,Russia's economy as well as sequential revenue growth on a like-for-like basis excluding the impact of the SCI acquisition. This is in contrast to Luxfer’s 2020 results which were significantly affected by broad based market weakness with the impact most pronouncedinternational businesses active in the secondregion. The impact on Luxfer is not expected to be significant as we have no direct operations in the region, and third quarters, which sufferedour sales to Russia and Ukraine combined typically represent less than one percent of total revenue by destination. Furthermore, neither country is a decline in revenuescritical supplier of around 18% versusour raw material needs, and while Russia is a major global exporter of magnesium, we are able to source the prior year. Company performance is now much improvedmetal from various alternative locations, including China, Israel, Turkey and the apparent success of vaccine programs in the U.S. and Europe has given rise to fewer restrictions, increased stability and macroeconomic recovery. That said, the coronavirus is still prevalent in many of our markets, with continuing restrictions on international travel and pressures on the availability of raw materials and labor. There is therefore considerable uncertainty as to when fully normal conditions will prevail. If warranted, it is possible that the Company may again suspend or reduce operations at certain facilities, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company continues to benefit from a strong balance sheet and demonstrates strong operating cash generation. Furthermore, with historically low net debt of $39.5 million and a 63% increase in quarter on quarter EBITDA, our net debt to EBITDA ratio has fallen to 0.6x at the end of Q2 2021 (from 1.0x at the end of 2020).United States.

Furthermore, there was primarily the result of a partial recovery in volumes adversely impacted by COVID-19 in the prior year, with the most significant factors being:benefit from:
•Increased sales in the second quarter in Luxfer MEL Technologies, primarily of Oil and Gas magnesium alloys and zirconium catalysis automotive products, although Oil and Gas sales were marginally down in the first half overall dueAdditional contribution to a relatively strong performance in the first quarter 2020, before the pandemic took hold;
•Increased sales in Luxfer Magtech, primarily in the second quarter of magnesium powders for military applications;
•Increasednet sales in Luxfer Gas Cylinders in the second quarter, $8.0of $7.1 million of which is due to the acquisition of Structural Composite IndustriesSCI at the end of the first quarter, 2021, which positivelyprimarily impacted SCBA cylinders used by first responders, as well assales of cylinders used in aerospace and alternative fuels applications;
•Growth in sales of magnesium powders used in both military and commercial flares;
•Increased sales in our zirconium products; and
•FavorableIncreased demand for industrial aluminum cylinders, used in gas calibration.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Unfavorable foreign exchange variances of $4.5 million$1.2 million;
•Decreased sales of flameless ration heaters and chemical detection kits in the quarterLuxfer Magtech; and $7.5 million
•Lower sales in the first half.alternative fuel (AF) cylinders, excluding SCI, due to timing of orders.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The following table of non-GAAP summary financial data presents a reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income for the periods presented, being the most comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA are key performance indicators (KPIs) used by the investment community and that such presentation will enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company's operational results. In addition, Luxfer's CEO and other senior management use these KPIs, among others, to evaluate business performance. However, investors should not consider adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in isolation as an alternative to net income and earnings per share when evaluating Luxfer's operating performance or measuring Luxfer's profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from obligations under our indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the funding of working capital and the funding of hedging facilities to manage foreign exchange and commodity purchase price risks. We meet these requirements primarily through cash flows from operating activities, cash deposits and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and accompanying ancillary hedging facilities and the Loan Notes due, 2023 and 2026. Our principal liquidity needs are:
•funding acquisitions, including deferred contingent consideration payments;
•capital expenditure requirements;
•payment of shareholder dividends;
•servicing interest on the Loan Notes, which is payable at each quarter end, in addition to interest and / or commitment fees on the Senior Facilities Agreement;
•working capital requirements, particularly in the short term as we aim to safeguard the business from supply chain constraints, as well as to achieve organic sales growth; and
•hedging facilities used to manage our foreign exchange and aluminum purchase price risks.
From time to time, we consider acquisitions or investments in other businesses that we believe would be appropriate additions to our business.
Our Revolving Credit Facility expires on July 31, 2022 and we are currently negotiating a new facility which we expect to be in place by the third quarter 2021.
We believe that, in the long term, cash generated from our operations will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and interest payments on our indebtedness. In the short term, we believe we have sufficient credit facilities to cover any variation in our cash flow generation. However, any major repayments of indebtedness will be dependent on our ability to raise alternative financing or to realize substantial returns from operational sales. Also, our ability to expand operations through sales development and capital expenditures could be constrained by the availability of liquidity, which, in turn, could impact the profitability of our operations.
We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase and Private Shelf AgreementLoan Notes and the Senior Facilities Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from inceptionand including September 30, 2011, to JuneMarch 27, 2021.2022.
Luxfer conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates. Accordingly, Luxfer's main cash source is dividends from its subsidiaries. The ability of each subsidiary to make distributions depends on the funds that a subsidiary receives from its operations in excess of the funds necessary for its operations, obligations or other business plans. We have not historically experienced any material impediment to these distributions, and we do not expect any local legal or regulatory regimes to have any impact on our ability to meet our liquidity requirements in the future. In addition, since our subsidiaries are wholly-owned, our claims will generally rank junior to all other obligations of the subsidiaries. If our operating subsidiaries are unable to make distributions, our growth may slow, unless we are able to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In the event of a subsidiary's liquidation, there may not be assets sufficient for us to recoup our investment in the subsidiary.
Our ability to maintain or increase the generation of cash from our operations in the future will depend significantly on the competitiveness of and demand for our products, including our success in launching new products. Achieving such success is a key objective of our business strategy. Due to commercial, competitive and external economic factors, however, we cannot guarantee that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future working capital will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or make necessary capital expenditures.
