LUXFER HOLDINGS PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.    Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated condensed financial statements of Luxfer Holdings PLC and all wholly-owned, majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries on the same basis as our annual audited financial statements. We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Our quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Luxfer" and "the Company" mean Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are only of a normal recurring nature, necessary for presentationthe fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q in Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X.
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.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a 13-week quarter basis, ending on a Sunday. The FirstThird Quarter 2022, ended March 27,on September 25, 2022, and the FirstThird Quarter 2021, ended March 28,on September 26, 2021.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Financial Statements
Demand from most end-markets we serve continues to improve in to 2022, following a period of recovery in 2021 from the adverse impact of COVID-19, which began in March 2020. The global political environment has become increasingly uncertain, combined with sharp recovery in demand and supply chain challenges, has resulted in some adverse business impacts, including increased material cost inflation on key inputs (including magnesium, aluminum and carbon fiber), labor availability issues and energy and transport cost increases.
Currently, our expectation is that the impact of material and energy cost inflation and labor and transport constraints will continue at least throughout 2022, but it is our intention to pass through inflation to our customers where possible.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
None expected tothat will be material to the Company.

2.    Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding, net of Treasurytreasury shares and shares held in ESOP. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and the dilutive ordinary shares equivalents.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:

In the firstthird quarter of 2022 and 2021 and year-to-date 2022, basic average shares outstanding and diluted average shares outstanding were the same for discontinued operations because the effect of potential shares of common stock was anti-dilutive since the Company generated a net loss from discontinued operations. As a result, 205,377 shares combined were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2022.

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 Quarterfirst nine months ended March 27,September 25, 2022, was 24.5%21.8%, compared to 21.1%12.0% for the Quarterfirst nine months ended March 28,September 26, 2021. The 2021 rate was 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.

In March 2022, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was approximately 167,400 and the weighted average fair value of options granted in 2022 was estimated to be $17.82 per share.
Also in March 2022, approximately 17,000 awards were granted based on the achievement of total shareholder return targets from the period January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. 50% of these awards vested immediately upon grant, with the remaining 50% vesting in March 2023.
In May 2022, approximately 19,000 additional awards were granted under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan. The fair value of options granted was estimated to be $15.00 per share.
In June 2022, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Non-Executive Directors' Equity Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was 26,295 and the weighted-average fair value of options granted was estimated to be $15.50 per share.

14.    SegmentSegmental Information
We classify our operations into 2two 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 4four identified business units, which aggregate into the 2two 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.
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 defined benefit pension credit.unwind of the discount on deferred consideration.
1 Adjusted EBITA is adjusted EBITDA less depreciation
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.

Committed and uncommitted banking facilities
The Company had committed banking facilities of $100.0 million at March 27,September 25, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Of these committed facilities, $36.9$37.6 million was drawn at March 27,September 25, 2022 and $10.8 million at December 31, 2021. The Company also had an additional $50.0 million of uncommitted facilities through an accordianaccordion provision.
The Company also has 2a separate uncommitted(uncommitted) bonding facility for bank guarantee facilities, 1guarantees, denominated in GBP sterling of £0.5 million (2022: $0.7or $0.5 million 2021:(2021: £0.6 million or $0.9 million), and 1 denominated in USD of $0.9 million (2021: $1.5 million). Of that dominated in GBP, £0.1 million ($0.20.1 million) and £0.1 million ($0.2 million) was utilized at March 27,September 25, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Of that denominated in USD,
The Company has a separate (uncommitted) facility for letters of credit, which at September 25, 2022, was $2.0 million (2021: $1.5 million). $1.1 million and $0.9 million of this was utilized at March 27,September 25, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company also has a $4.0 million separate overdraft facility of which none was drawn at March 27,September 25, 2022 and at December 31, 2021.
Contingencies
In November 2018, an alleged explosion occurred at a third-party waste disposal and treatment site in Boise, Idaho, reportedly 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 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 3three lawsuits in relation to the incident – 1- one by the third-party disposal company, 1one by the estate of the decedent, and 1one 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
Update 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 volumes, 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 developingcontinuing 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;2023; 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.

Impact of conflict in Ukraine

However the outlook remains highly uncertain with both the size and timing of future cost increases difficult to predict. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and ongoing military conflict which commenced on February 24, 2022, has resulted in massive displacement of the Ukrainian population and huge disruption to its economy. Wide-rangingWide ranging sanctions have been imposed on the Russian Federation by the international community, targeting individuals, banks, businesses, funds transfers and imports and exports and are expected to have a significant adverse impact on Russia's economy as well as on international businesses active in the region. The impact on Luxfer is not expected to be significant as we have no direct operations in the region, and our sales to Russia and Ukraine combined typically represent less than one percent of total revenue by destination. Furthermore, neither country is a critical supplier of our raw material needs, and while Russia is a major global exporter of magnesium, we are able to source the metal from various alternative locations, including China, Israel, Turkey and the United States.

Operating objectives and trends
In 2022, we expect the following operating objectives and trends to impact our business:
Organic growth initiatives with particular focus on revenue from new products;
Actions to ensure continuity of supply of critical materials and services while safeguarding margins;margins amid inflationary pressures;
Proactive response on health and well-being of employees, post pandemic, including continuous improvement on safety;
Targeted improvements in ESG standing through investment in new projects;
Continued focus on recruiting and developing talent and driving a high-performance culture; and
Continued focus on operating cash generation leveraging our recent years' of restructuring activity and targeting strong working capital performance.

Net sales
Adjusting for foreign exchange headwinds of $4.9 million and $9.8 million, net sales have increased by 15.2% and 14.9% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 respectively. The passing through of material cost inflation, where not constrained by contract, accounted for approximately 11%14.6% and 13.0% of the 13.8% increase in consolidated net sales in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2022 from 2021. Furthermore, there was a benefit in the quarter from:
Additional contribution to net sales in Luxfer Gas Cylinders of $7.1 million due to the acquisition of SCI at the end of the first quarter, 2021, which primarily impacted sales of cylinders used in aerospace and alternative fuels applications;
Growth inIncreased sales of magnesium powders used in both military and commercial flares;
Increased sales in our zirconium products; andapplications;
Increased demand for industrial aluminumcomposite cylinders used in gas calibration.aerospace and medical applications, although constrained by historical contractual prices;
Increased sales of magnesium alloys, especially those used in aerospace applications; and
Higher demand for our zirconium products particularly in industrial applications.
These increases were partially offset by:
Unfavorable foreign exchange variances of $1.2 million;as highlighted above;
DecreasedSoftening sales of flameless ration heaters ("FRH") and chemicalChemical detection kits, in Luxfer Magtech; and
LowerAlternative fuel cylinders down on strong quarter in prior year.
Further to the above, the first nine months of the year were also affected by:
Increased sales of magnesium powders used in alternative fuel (AF) cylinders, excluding SCI, due to timing of orders.military applications; and

Higher demand for photo-engraving plates
Gross profit
The 4.72.4 percentage point decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the first nine months of 2022 from 2021 was primarily the result of increased material and labor costs and other supply chain investments to overcome disruption, not fully covered by price increases, particularly in the Gas Cylinders Division.
The 0.1 percentage point increase in gross profit as well as lower marginsa percentage of sales in SCI.the third quarter of 2022 from 2021 is a result of positive sales mix between the Elektron and Gas Cylinders Division offsetting the impact of fixed-priced contracts in the Gas Cylinders Division.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A costs as a percentage of sales in 2022 from 2021 has decreased by 1.41.3 percentage points and 1.7 percentage points in the quarter and first nine months respectively, largely due to the impact of price increases on revenue, as well as cost reduction programs effected in the prior year. We have also benefited from foreign currency translation of $1.0 million and $1.6 million in the quarter and first nine months respectively.

Research and development costs
Research and development costcosts as a percentage of sales increaseddecreased by 0.4 percentage points in the third quarter and remained flat for the first nine months of 2022 relative to 2021 or $0.5respectively. The reduction in the quarter has brought the year-to-date spend in line with the prior year. There has been a $0.1 million as activity levels picked up as we recovered fromimpact due to foreign exchange, accounting for half of the COVID-19 economic downturn.percentage point reduction.

Restructuring charges
The $1.4$0.3 million and $2.0 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 relates solelypredominantly to costs associated with the closure of Luxfer Gas Cylinders France, which ceased operations in 2019. There was $0.2 million recognized in the second quarter of 2022 relating to one-time employee termination benefits in the Elektron division in relation to the consolidation of production facilities in the Magnesium Powders operations.
The $1.4$0.5 million and $2.1 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 included $0.5$0.3 million as a resultand $1.1 million respectively of further costs associated with the previously announced closure of Luxfer Gas Cylinders France, which wereand was largely legal and professional fees; and $0.9Mfees. The first nine months of 2021 also includes $0.9 million of one-time employee termination benefits in the Elektron division, largely in relation to the planned divestiture of our small Luxfer MagtechElektron production facility in Ontario, Canada.

Acquisition relatedNet costs of $0.2$0.3 million incurred in the first nine months of 2022 and $0.6 million and $1.5 million in 2022the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 respectively, represents amounts incurred in relation to the acquisition of SCI.Structural Composites Industries.

Other charges
Other charges in the First Quarterfirst nine months of 2021 relates to the settlement of a class action lawsuit in the Gas Cylinders segment in relation to an alleged historic violation of the Californian Labor Code, concerning aan Human Resources administration matter.

Net interest expense
Net interest expense of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 increased $0.2 million from $0.8 million in the third quarter 2021,due to combination of increased interest rates and higher drawings. Interest expense of $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2022 was flat compared to 2021 as average debt levels were consistent year-over-year.also higher than the $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2021.

Defined benefit pension credit
The $0.2$0.4 million and $0.9 million decrease in defined benefit pension credit to $0.4$0.2 million and $0.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from $0.6 million and $1.8 million in 2021 is primarily due to the combined effect on the U.K. plan of lower projected asset returns and a higher inflation projection.projection coupled with the weakening of the pound sterling.

Provision for income taxes
The movement in the statutory effective tax rate from 21.1%12.0% in 2021, to 24.5%21.8% in 2022, was impacted primarily bydue to the impact of the enacted tax rate change in geographic profit mix.the U.K. in 2021, which is due to rise from 19% to 25% in April 2023. The subsequent increase in the value of deferred tax assets related to our defined benefit pension plan resulted in a credit of $2.2 million recorded in our tax charge in the second quarter of 2021. When stripping out the effectimpact of this, as well as other less significant adjusting items, the non-deductible restructuring expenses, our adjusted effective tax rate has increased to 22.0%21.5% in 2022 from 20.4%21.2% in 2021.

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 risks.
From time to time, we consider acquisitions or investments in other businesses that we believe would be appropriate additions to our business.
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 Loan Notes and the Senior Facilities Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to March 27,September 25, 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.

We paid year-to-date dividends in 2021, purchasing 60,100 ordinary shares totaling $1.52022 of $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. On March 10, 2022 we declared a $3.6(2021: $10.2 million dividend,year-to-date), or $0.13$0.385 per ordinary share to be paid May 4, 2022.(2021: $0.375).
Any payment of dividends is also subject to the provisions of the U.K. Companies Act, according to which dividends may only be paid out of profits available for distribution determined by reference to financial statements prepared in accordance with the Companies Act and UK-adopted International Accounting Standards,IFRS as adopted by the E.U., which differ in some respects from GAAP. In the event that dividends are paid in the future, holders of the ordinary shares will be entitled to receive payments in U.S. dollars in respect of dividends on the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with the deposit agreement. Furthermore, because we are a holding company, any dividend payments would depend on cash flows from our subsidiaries.
