2023 Annual Report to Shareholders
2023 HIGHLIGHTS
Through a number of strategic moves in
recent years, we have successfully increased
our profitability while optimizing the balance
between our two complementary segments.
We continue to leverage our strong balance
sheet to invest in organic growth opportunities
and pursue select strategic acquisitions.
Record profitability in the Sealing Technologies
segment helped offset a slowdown in the
Advanced Surface Technologies (AST)
segment, largely caused by weakness in the
global semiconductor industry. Throughout
the year, we achieved solid profitability,
despite top-line headwinds in AST.
In December 2023, we announced the
acquisition of Advanced Micro Instruments,
Inc. (AMI) for $210 million, broadening our
capabilities in compositional analysis in
the Sealing Technologies segment. This
acquisition, which we completed in January
2024, advances the segment’s strategy to
build upon its portfolio of businesses that
offer leading-edge applications to safeguard
critical environments.
This and every year, our enduring values of
Safety, Excellence & Respect continue to be
cultural cornerstones for our colleagues,
encouraging them to practice physical and
psychological safety, open and creative
communication and applied engineering
and technology excellence as they continue
delivering differentiated value to our customers.
We foster an inclusive environment where all
employees can flourish in our culture where
human development is viewed as being
equally important to, and intertwined with,
excellent financial results.
Enpro advanced its excellent safety record
in 2023 with significant improvements in key
safety metrics company wide. Safety is our
first core value, and we strive to create a
productive and injury-free workplace for our
colleagues.
We continue to advance a number of
sustainability initiatives consistent with our
core values. In 2023, we achieved our goal of
reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
by 3% per million dollars of revenue and are
aiming to reduce emissions by another 3%
in 2024.
In December 2023, we completed our
corporate name change to Enpro Inc. in
recognition of our forward strategy and
successful portfolio transformation. Our
remarkable evolution has been made
possible because of the incredible work of
the Enpro team to advance our key strategic
priorities and deliver for our customers.
Fellow Shareholders
In 2023, Enpro Inc. executed
well, showcasing the resilience
of our business model and the
robustness of our balanced
portfolio. We delivered record
profitability in our Sealing

partially offset the slowdown
in our Advanced Surface
Technologies segment related
to demand headwinds in the
global semiconductor market.

we have the right combination of skills and fresh insights. As part of our effective executive
leadership succession planning, we appointed Joe Bruderek to the Chief Financial Officer
role, succeeding Milt Childress, effective April 1, 2024. We look forward to benefitting from
Joe’s record of driving profitability through financial discipline and to Joe leading impactful
strategic initiatives in the coming year and beyond.
We are committed to Empowering Technology with Purpose in support of our growth
priorities and colleague development. Our sustainability priorities are closely aligned with
our corporate strategy as we continue to lead with our core values of Safety, Excellence
and Respect in everything we do. On Safety, we are celebrating a 59% reduction in our Total
Recordable Incident Rate as well as a 47% reduction in Lost Time Case Rate in 2023, building
upon our already excellent safety record. We are implementing a number of sustainability
initiatives that will increase the efficiency of our operations. We were pleased to have
achieved the previously announced goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
by 3% per dollar of revenue by the end of 2023. In 2024, we will work toward reducing GHG
emissions by another 3%, while advancing other sustainability and developmental disciplines
throughout the organization.

PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Enpro” and “Company” mean Enpro Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless
the context indicates another meaning). The term “common stock” means the common stock of Enpro Inc., par value $0.01 per
share.
Background
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on January 11, 2002, as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Goodrich Corporation (“Goodrich”). The incorporation was in anticipation of Goodrich’s announced spin-off of its
Engineered Industrial Products segment by a distribution of the Company's common stock to existing Goodrich shareholders.
The distribution took place on May 31, 2002.
Today, we are a leading-edge industrial technology company focused on critical applications across a diverse group of
growing end markets such as semiconductor, photonics, industrial process, aerospace, food, biopharmaceuticals and life
sciences. Enpro is a leader in applied engineering and designs, develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary, value-added
products and solutions that contribute key functionality or safeguard a variety of critical environments. Over the past several
years, we have executed several strategic initiatives to create a portfolio of businesses that offers proprietary, industrial
technology-related products and solutions with high barriers to entry, compelling margins, strong cash flow, and perpetual
recurring/aftermarket revenue in markets with favorable secular tailwinds. These initiatives, described in “Acquisitions” and
“Dispositions” below, have increased our ability to provide solutions to the semiconductor, life sciences, and other technology
industries. As of December 31, 2023, our continuing operations had 13 primary manufacturing and service facilities

In connection with the completion of the transaction, we entered into a limited liability operating agreement with respect
to the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary in connection with the rollover transaction, with three equity owners of Alluxa, who were
also executives of Alluxa, receiving approximately 7% of the equity interests of the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary in return for
their contribution of the rollover shares of Alluxa. In the first quarter of 2024, we acquired all of these equity interests and
became the sole owner of Alluxa.
In September 2019, Lunar Investment LLC ("Lunar"), a subsidiary of Enpro, acquired all of the equity securities of
LeanTeq Co, LTD. and its affiliate LeanTeq LLC (collectively referred to as "LeanTeq"). As part of the transaction, two of the
equity owners of LeanTeq, who were executives of the acquired entity (the "LeanTeq Executives"), acquired approximately a
10% ownership share of Lunar in the form of rollover equity. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Taoyuan City, Taiwan,
LeanTeq has two locations in Taiwan and one in the United States (Silicon Valley). LeanTeq primarily provides refurbishment
solutions for critical components and assemblies used in state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This

we determined Engineered Materials to be a discontinued operation. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in Part I
pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for information
on discontinued operations and the related disposition of those operations).
On January 30, 2023 we completed the sale of GPT. In 2023, we received $28.9 million, net of transaction fees and cash
sold, resulting in a pretax gain of $14.6 million recognized in the first quarter of 2023.
2
The sale of GGB closed on November 4, 2022 to The Timken Company. We received $298.2 million, net of transaction
fees and cash sold, including $3.1 million of payments made in Q1 of 2023. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $189.1 million as
part of our discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The sale of GGB included a subsidiary of our Sealing Technologies segment which is not part of the discontinued
operations described above. The results of operations of this subsidiary are included in continuing operations for all periods

consolidated statement of operations.
On October 12, 2021, we entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) providing for
the sale of specified equity interests and assets of our CPI business, which had been included in our Engineered Materials
segment. The sale closed on December 21, 2021 and we recorded a pretax gain of $117.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021
as a result of this transaction.
On September 2, 2021, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our polymer components business unit, which was
principally located in Houston, Texas and had been included in our Sealing Technologies segment. As a result of the sale, we
recorded a pre-tax gain of $19.5 million in other income (expense) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Customers. Our Advanced Surface Technologies segment sells products and solutions to OEMs, IDMs, industrial agents
and distributors, and end users worldwide. Advanced Surface Technologies’ products and solutions are offered to global
customers, with approximately 34% of sales delivered to customers outside the United States in 2023. Representative
customers include leading global manufacturers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, such as Applied Materials and
ASML, as well as manufacturers of equipment used in the life sciences and industrial technology industries and government
defense contractors. Due to consolidation in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry, a small number of
companies control a significant majority of the global production of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. As a result, the
segment is dependent on certain key relationships with customers in that industry and the loss of one or more of those key
customers or other adverse changes in the segment’s relationships with those customers could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Competition. Competition in the markets we serve is based on technology differentiation, process know-how, proven
performance and reliability, as well as price, customer service, application expertise, technical support, delivery terms, breadth
of offerings, reputation for quality, global footprint and the availability of products and solutions. We believe that our
significant competitive advantages include our technological knowledge, proprietary processes, manufacturing and analytical
5
capabilities and record of performance, which enable us to satisfy the substantial upfront qualification processes required by
many of our customers. The competitive landscape in the United States for advanced manufacturing, coating and refurbishment
for the semiconductor supply chain includes several providers other than NxEdge, with no provider having a dominant market
position. NxEdge has a broad offering of special processes and we believe a higher level of vertical integration than most of its
competitors. In the semiconductor cleaning space, our competitors include a limited number of other providers of cleaning
solutions, primarily in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the United States, with no provider having a dominant global market
position. The optical coatings market is highly fragmented, with numerous small competitors to Alluxa. Competitors of
Technetics Semi include Mirapro, FMI/NGK, KSM and Senior Flexonics.
Raw Materials and Components. Our Advanced Surface Technologies segment uses ultra-high purity chemicals,
fluoropolymers, elastomeric compounds, technical ceramics, rare earth materials, specialty substrates, common and exotic
metals. We believe that these raw materials and components are generally available from various suppliers, with occasional,
isolated and short-term constraints.
Research and Development
Our research and development efforts strengthen our product portfolios in our more traditional markets while
simultaneously creating distinctive and breakthrough products and solutions across the company. We utilize a process to move
innovations from concept to commercialization, and to identify, analyze, develop and implement new product concepts and
opportunities to expand market adjacencies with differentiated and compelling products that solve critical problems for our
customers.
We employ scientists, engineers and technicians throughout the organization to develop, design and test new and
improved products and solutions. We work closely with our customers to identify issues and solve technical problems for
critical applications. The majority of our research and development spending typically is directed toward the development of
new solutions for the most demanding environments, the development of technology to support the production, cleaning and
refurbishment of critical semiconductor manufacturing equipment components, and advancing our technological and process
know-how to develop opportunities in new and/or adjacent niche markets that will continue to differentiate the company.
Backlog
At December 31, 2023, we had a backlog of orders valued at $225.4 million, of which $110.4 million related to Sealing
Technologies and $115.0 million related to Advanced Surface Technologies compared with $310.7 million at December 31,
2022, of which $123.9 million related to Sealing Technologies and $186.8 million related to Advanced Surface Technologies.
Approximately 5% of the December 31, 2023 backlog is expected to be filled beyond 2024. Backlog represents orders on hand
that we believe to be firm. However, there is no certainty the backlog orders will result in actual sales at the times or in the
amounts ordered.
Quality Assurance
We believe the quality of our products and solutions is among the most important factors in developing and maintaining
strong, long-term relationships with our customers. In order to meet the exacting requirements of our customers, we maintain
stringent standards of quality control. We routinely employ in-process inspection by using testing equipment as a process aid
during all stages of development, design and production to ensure product quality and reliability. These include state-of-the-art
CAD/CAM equipment, statistical process control systems, laser tracking devices, failure mode and effect analysis, and
coordinate measuring machines. We are able to extract numerical quality control data as a statistical measurement of the quality
of the parts being manufactured from our Computer Numerical Control ("CNC") machinery. In addition, we perform quality
control tests on parts that we outsource. As a result of our practices, we are able to significantly improve the quality of the
services we provide and the parts we manufacture, avoid and reduce defects, and improve efficiency and reliability.
As of December 31, 2023, 31 of our manufacturing and service facilities were ISO 9000 certified. Three of our facilities
are ISO 14001 certified.
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
We maintain a number of patents and trademarks issued by the U.S. and other countries relating to the name and design
of our products and have granted licenses to some of these patents and trademarks. We routinely evaluate the need to protect
new and existing products through the patent and trademark systems in the U.S. and other countries. We also have unpatented
proprietary information, consisting of engineering, design, and process know-how, along with trade secrets relating to the
design, manufacture and operation of our products and their use, and to certain services we perform. Except for proprietary
formulations and know-how in our Advanced Surface Technologies segment, we do not consider our business as a whole to be
6
materially dependent on any particular patent, patent right, trademark, trade secret or license granted or group of related patents,
patent rights, trademarks, trade secrets or licenses granted.
In general, we are the owner of the rights to the products that we manufacture and sell. However, we also license certain
intellectual property from various entities. These licenses are subject to renewal and it is possible we may not successfully
renegotiate these licenses or they could be terminated in the event of a material breach. If this were to occur, our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 3,500 employees, of which approximately 66% are in North America,
12% in Europe, and 22% in Asia Pacific.
We strive to create an environment where all colleagues can flourish and develop, and view human development as a
basic right, and a core foundation to achieving excellence. Enpro is a dual-bottom line company - with the development of our
colleagues and their excellence inextricably linked to a productive environment that drives strong financial performance. Safety,
excellence, and respect are our enduring core values and are the standard by which we measure all our actions, including how
we treat our colleagues, physically and psychologically.
In 2023, we introduced a new performance management and development process, placing emphasis on both manager
engagement and employee ownership. We regularly conduct employee engagement and satisfaction surveys, including one
completed in early 2023. Results from these surveys and engagement activities help senior management drive advances in our
workplace and culture as we continuously focus on ways to improve our way of working.
Focus on Safety and Wellbeing of our Employees. Our core value of safety includes physical safety on our factory floors
and the wellness and psychological safety of colleagues. We have worked for many years to develop a world-class safety
program and culture, where the intention is that each colleague goes home each day as healthy as they arrived. Our commitment
to safety has resulted in our being the only public company to have been recognized on three separate occasions by EHS Today
as “America’s Safest Company.” Each year, we enhance our safety culture and safety programs. In 2023, we strengthened our
safety onboarding programs so that our newest colleagues can thoroughly understand our safety culture and expectations, which
are often much different from their prior places of employment. In 2024, we are working towards alignment with ISO 45001 at
our major manufacturing locations. This alignment will drive our continual improvement efforts within safety.
Competitive Pay, Benefits and Equity: We provide comprehensive compensation and benefits programs that are
designed to attract and retain colleagues – our most valuable resource. Our compensation programs include a focus on building
long-term value and alignment with our stakeholders, including a sizable portion of compensation at appropriate levels
designed to foster a culture of ownership and alignment with our shareholders. We have improved our benefit programs each
year to meet the changing needs of our employees and their families. In the United States, this includes a company-wide
minimum wage of $15 per hour, a 401k plan with an above-market company match, an award-winning health and wellbeing
program, flexible vacation, and time off policies, enhanced employee assistance programs, paid family leave, and
comprehensive healthcare benefits, as well as company-paid long-term disability, critical illness, and accident coverage.
We continue to focus on the mental wellbeing of our colleagues through company-wide resource groups that focus on
mental health and inclusion, as well as through our employee assistance programs.
Focus on Diversity and Respect. A diverse workforce and a commitment to diverse, innovative thinking are critical to
our long-term growth and success. We continue to utilize inclusive practices within our talent acquisition practices, including
diverse candidate slates and diverse interview panels. We have implemented tools and structures to reduce bias during the
interview and selection process, including unconscious bias training. We provided Diversity Without Division training to our
first line supervisors. Our gender and ethnic/racial diversity including senior management and through two levels down is 47%
diverse, a testament to our focus on creating a diverse and inclusive environment, and one with opportunity for growth and
development.
The positive impact of our care, compassion, and flexible programs is demonstrated by our employee retention rates. In a
market with volatile turnover, our aggregate retention rates are at or above market level, in part due to our culture and due to
our progressive approach to employee development and focus on employee well-being.
Focus on the Communities and our New Employee Assistance Fund. In 2020, we launched the Enpro Foundation to
support charitable organizations in the communities where our colleagues live and work. Enpro has contributed $1.75 million to
the Enpro Foundation since its formation in 2020 and our Foundation has made $690,000 in donations, with a special focus on
charitable organizations nominated by our colleagues. Through our Foundation, we have created and funded an employee
7
assistance fund, administered by a third-party that specializes in this type of fund, where we can confidentially assist employees
that are facing difficult challenges, including family sickness or impact from natural disasters or other tragedies, in a way that is
objective and respectful.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risks stated elsewhere in this annual report, set forth below are certain risk factors that we believe are
material. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation could be
harmed. You should also consider these risk factors when you read “forward-looking statements” elsewhere in this report. You
can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “hope,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of those terms or other
comparable terms. Those forward-looking statements are only predictions and can be adversely affected if any of these risks
occur.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our business and some of the markets we serve are cyclical and distressed market conditions could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
The markets in which we sell our products and solutions, particularly wafer fab equipment for semiconductor
manufacturing, chemical companies, petroleum refineries, heavy-duty trucking, and capital equipment are, to varying degrees,
cyclical and have historically experienced periodic downturns. Prior downturns have been characterized by diminished product
demand, excess manufacturing capacity and subsequent erosion of average selling prices in these markets resulting in negative
effects on our net sales and results of operations. The wafer fab equipment for semiconductor manufacturing market, has
historically been characterized by rapid changes in demand due to changes in electronics demand, economic conditions (both
general and in the semiconductor and electronics industries), industry supply and demand, prices for semiconductors, and the
ability of fabricators to manufacture increasingly complex and costly semiconductor devices. A prolonged and severe
downward cycle in our markets, particularly in our semiconductor markets, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We face intense competition that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We encounter intense competition in almost all areas of our businesses. Customers for many of our products and
solutions are attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase. To remain competitive, we need to invest
continuously in manufacturing, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. We also need to
develop new products and solutions to continue to meet the needs and desires of our customers. We may not have sufficient
resources to continue to make such investments or maintain our competitive position. Additionally, some of our competitors are
larger than we are and have substantially greater financial resources than we do. As a result, they may be better able to
withstand the effects of periodic economic downturns. Certain of our products and solutions may also experience
transformation from unique branded products to undifferentiated price sensitive products and solutions. This commoditization
may be accelerated by low-cost foreign competition. Changes in the replacement cycle of certain of our products and solutions,
including because of improved product and service quality or improved maintenance, may affect aftermarket demand for such
products and solutions. Initiatives designed to distinguish our products and solutions through superior service, continuous
improvement, innovation, customer relationships, technology, new product acquisitions, bundling with key services, long-term
contracts or market focus may not be effective. Pricing and other competitive pressures could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The reliance of our Advanced Surface Technologies segment on a small number of significant customers may adversely
affect our financial results
A majority of the revenues of our Advanced Surface Technologies segment are derived from manufacturing, cleaning,
coating and refurbishing components used in advanced node semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Due to consolidation in
the semiconductor manufacturing equipment industry, a small number of companies control a significant majority of the global
production of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. As a result, the segment is dependent on certain key relationships with
customers in that industry, including a customer that accounted for approximately 26% of our 2023 consolidated net sales, and
the loss of the segment’s relationship with that customer or other key customers or other adverse changes in the segment’s
relationships with those customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. Consolidation among our customers, or a decision by any one or more of our customers to no longer
outsource the type of solutions provided by our Advanced Surface Technologies segment, may further concentrate our business
8
in a limited number of customers and expose us to increased risks relating to dependence on an even smaller number of
customers.
If we fail to retain the agents and distributors upon whom we rely to market our products, we may be unable to effectively
market our products and our revenue and profitability may decline.
The marketing success of many of our businesses in the U.S. and abroad depends largely upon our independent agents’
and distributors’ sales and service expertise and relationships with customers in our markets. Many of these agents have
developed strong ties to existing and potential customers because of their detailed knowledge of our products. A loss of a
significant number of these agents or distributors, or of a particular agent or distributor in a key market or with key customer
relationships, could significantly inhibit our ability to effectively market our products, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Increased costs for raw materials, the termination of existing supply arrangements or other disruptions of our supply chain
has had, and could continue in the future to have, a material adverse effect on our business.
We have seen organic changes related to price increases of raw materials over the past several years. The prices of some
of our raw materials may continue to increase due to supply chain limitations or the imposition (or announcement of the
intended imposition) of new or increased tariffs or changes in trade laws. While we have been successful in passing along some
of these higher costs, there can be no assurance we will be able to continue doing so without losing customers. Similarly, the
loss of a key supplier, the unavailability of a key raw material, or other disruptions of our supply chain could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we have limited sources for certain key raw
materials and other supplies.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights and knowledge relating to our products and services, our business
and prospects may be negatively impacted.
We believe that proprietary products, processes, and technology are important to our success. If we are unable to
adequately protect our intellectual property and know-how, our business and prospects could be negatively impacted. Our
efforts to protect our intellectual property through patents, trademarks, service marks, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights,
confidentiality, non-compete and nondisclosure agreements and other measures may not be adequate to protect our proprietary
rights. Patents issued to third parties, whether before or after the issue date of our patents, could render our intellectual property
less valuable. Questions as to whether our competitors’ products or services infringe our intellectual property rights or whether
our products and services infringe our competitors’ intellectual property rights may be disputed. In addition, intellectual
property rights may be unavailable, limited or difficult to enforce in some jurisdictions, which could make it easier for
competitors to capture market share in those jurisdictions.
Our competitors may capture market share from us by selling products that claim to mirror the capabilities of our
products or technology. Without sufficient protection nationally and internationally for our intellectual property, our
competitiveness worldwide could be impaired, which would negatively impact our growth and future revenue. As a result, we
may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and enforce our intellectual property rights.
Failure to maintain or renew licenses to certain intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In general, we are the owner of the rights to the products and services that we manufacture and provide. However, we
also license certain intellectual property from various entities. These licenses are subject to renewal and it is possible we may
not successfully renegotiate these licenses or they could be terminated in the event of a material breach. If this were to occur,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Our products and solutions are often used in critical applications, which could expose us to potentially significant product
liability, warranty and other claims and recalls. Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all of our significant
risks or our insurers may deny coverage of material losses we incur, which could adversely affect our profitability and
overall financial condition.
Our products and solutions are often used in critical applications in demanding environments, including in the nuclear, oil
and gas, automotive, aerospace and pharmaceutical industries. Accordingly, product and service failures can have significant
consequences and could result in significant product liability, warranty and other claims against us, regardless of whether our
products and services caused the incident that is the subject of the claim, and we may have obligations to participate in the
recall of products in which our products are components, if any of the components or services we supply prove to be defective.
9
We endeavor to identify and obtain in established markets insurance agreements to cover certain significant risks and liabilities,
though insurance against some of the risks inherent in our operations (such as insurance covering down-stream customer
product recalls) is either unavailable or available only at rates or on terms that we consider excessive. Depending on
competitive conditions and other factors, we endeavor to obtain contractual protection against uninsured risks from our
customers, including limitations on liability and indemnification. In some cases, we are unable to obtain such contractual
protections, and when we do, such contractual protection may not be as broad as we desire, may not be supported by adequate
insurance maintained by the customer, or may not be fully enforceable in the jurisdictions in which our customers are located.
Such insurance or contractual protection may not be sufficient or effective under all circumstances or against all hazards to
which we may be subject. A successful claim or product recall for which we are not insured or for which we are underinsured
could have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, disputes with insurance carriers over coverage may affect the timing of
cash flows and, if litigation with the carrier becomes necessary, an outcome unfavorable to us may have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.
Our business may be adversely affected by information technology disruptions.
Our business may be impacted by information technology disruptions, including information technology attacks.
Cybersecurity attacks, in particular, are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain
unauthorized access to data or corporate funds, and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems,
unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data (our own or that of third parties).
We have experienced cybersecurity attacks and, while we believe that we have adopted appropriate measures and procedures to
mitigate potential risks to our systems from information technology-related disruptions, it is possible that a cybersecurity attack
could be successful in breaching the measures and procedures designed to protect our systems. In such an event, we could
potentially be subject to production downtimes, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to
provide products and services to our customers, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected information,
misappropriation, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, misappropriation of corporate funds, other manipulation
or improper use of our systems or networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or
damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
A failure to develop new or improved products and solutions may result in a significant competitive disadvantage.
In order to maintain our market positions and margins, we need to continually develop and introduce high-quality,
technologically advanced and cost-effective products and solutions on a timely basis, in many cases in multiple jurisdictions
around the world. The failure to do so could result in a significant competitive disadvantage that could materially adversely
affect our results of operations.
The loss of key personnel and an inability to attract and retain qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on
our operations.
We are dependent on the continued services of our leadership team. The loss of these personnel without adequate
replacement could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Additionally, we need qualified managers and skilled
employees with technical and industry experience in many locations in order to operate our business successfully. From time to
time, there may be a shortage of skilled labor, which may make it more difficult and expensive for us to attract and retain
qualified employees. If we were unable to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals or our costs to do so
were to increase significantly, our operations and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our business with the U.S. government is subject to government contracting risks.
Our business with government agencies, including sales to prime contractors that supply these agencies, is subject to
government contracting risks. U.S. government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the
convenience of the government or for default as a result of our failure to perform under the applicable contract. In addition, if
we or one of our divisions were charged with wrongdoing with respect to a U.S. government contract, the U.S. government
could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts pending the completion of legal
proceedings, and if we are found liable, we could subject us to fines, penalties, repayments and treble and other damages, and/
or debarment from bidding on or receiving new awards of U.S. government contracts.
10
Climate change and legal or regulatory responses thereto may have an adverse impact on our business and results of
operations.
There is growing concern that a gradual increase in global average temperatures as a result of increased concentration of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will cause significant changes in weather patterns around the
globe and an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Many of our manufacturing facilities use significant
amounts of electricity generated by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide. Such climate change may impair our
production capabilities, disrupt our supply chain or impact demand for our products. Growing concern over climate change also
may result in additional legal or regulatory requirements designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gas emissions on the environment. Increased energy or compliance costs and expenses as a result of increased legal
or regulatory requirements may cause disruptions in, or an increase in the costs associated with, the manufacturing and
distribution of our products. The impacts of climate change and legal or regulatory initiatives to address climate change could
have a long-term adverse impact on our business and results of operations. If we fail to achieve or improperly report on our
progress toward achieving our goals and commitments to reduce our carbon footprint or in environmental and sustainability
programs and initiatives, the results could have an adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Evolving regulatory restrictions on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may restrict the manufacture or use of
fluoropolymers, including PTFE, which are currently included as critical components in certain of our products.
In February 2023, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) proposed several options for restricting the manufacture,
import and use of PFAS in the EU under the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
regulations, potentially including PTFE and/or the fluorosurfactants that our suppliers use to manufacture PTFE. ECHA is in
the process of evaluating these proposed options and preparing opinions on the socio-economic, environmental and health
impacts of the proposal for consideration by the European Commission. PTFE resins are currently a critical raw material in the
manufacture of certain of our products, and are included as components of several of our final products. If the manufacture or
use of PTFE resins were restricted by this or other emerging regulations in the coming years, or if a substantial number of our
suppliers discontinued production of PTFE resins due to regulatory pressures, and if we were unable to develop products using
substitute materials that provide the same reliability and performance as our current products, our results of operations could be
adversely affected.
Our business could be materially adversely affected by numerous other risks, including rising healthcare costs, changes in
environmental laws and other unforeseen business interruptions.
Our business may be negatively impacted by numerous other risks. For example, medical and other healthcare costs may
continue to grow faster than general inflation or employees may receive more or higher cost services in future periods.
Initiatives to address these costs, such as consumer driven health plan packages, may not successfully reduce these expenses to
the extent expected or required. Failure to offer competitive employee benefits may result in our inability to recruit or maintain
key employees. Other risks to our business include potential changes in environmental rules or regulations, which could
negatively impact our manufacturing processes, or changes to the magnitude of costs at existing environmental sites. Use of
certain chemicals and other substances could become restricted or such changes may otherwise require us to incur additional
costs which could reduce our profitability and impair our ability to offer competitively priced products. Additional risks to our
business include global or local events which could significantly disrupt our operations. Certain of our facilities are located in
areas at risk for hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires and/or flooding. Such natural disasters, as well as terrorist attacks, political
insurgencies, pandemics and electrical grid disruptions and outages are some of the unforeseen risks that could negatively affect
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Acquisition Activities
We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions, which could involve certain risks and uncertainties.
We expect to continue to make acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions involve numerous inherent challenges, such as
properly evaluating acquisition opportunities, properly evaluating risks and other diligence matters, ensuring adequate capital
availability and balancing other resource constraints. There are risks and uncertainties related to acquisitions, including:
difficulties integrating acquired technology, operations, personnel and financial and other systems; unrealized sales expectations
from the acquired business; unrealized synergies and cost savings; unknown or underestimated liabilities; diversion of
management attention from running our existing businesses; and potential loss of key management, employees or customers of
the acquired business. In addition, internal controls over financial reporting of acquired companies may not be up to required
U.S. public company standards. Our integration activities may place substantial demands on our management, operational
11
resources and financial and internal control systems. Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems with an acquired
business, technology, service or product could also have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business.
Risks Related to Our Prior Ownership of Disposed Businesses
We have exposure to some contingent liabilities relating to previously owned businesses, which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in any fiscal period.
We have contingent liabilities related to discontinued operations and previously owned businesses of our predecessors,
including environmental liabilities and liabilities for certain products and other matters. In some instances we have indemnified
others against those liabilities, and in other instances we have received indemnities from third parties against those liabilities.
For example, in 2014 when our then Fairbanks Morse division and a consortium partner entered into a multi-year arrangement
with Electricite de France ("EDF") to supply opposed-piston, diesel engine generator set to EDF for emergency backup power
at 20 of EDF's nuclear power plants in France, Enpro Inc. guaranteed the performance of Fairbanks Morse's obligations under
agreements with our consortium partner, which guarantee continues to be in place following our sale of Fairbanks Morse,
though both Fairbanks Morse and the purchaser of Fairbanks Morse have agreed to indemnify us for any payments we are
required to make pursuant to such guarantee.
Claims could arise relating to products, facilities, employees or former employees, or other matters related to our
discontinued operations. Some of these claims could seek substantial monetary payments. For example, Enpro has entered into
an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for Interim Removal Action with the Environmental Protection
Agency for the assessment and potential remediation of eight surface uranium mines in Arizona on the basis that our EnPro
Holdings subsidiary, through which we hold most of our operating subsidiaries, was a potentially responsible party under
federal environmental laws as the successor to a former operator in the 1950s of those mines. Further, we could potentially be
liable with respect to firearms manufactured prior to March 1990 by Colt Firearms, a former operation of a corporate
predecessor of EnPro Holdings, and electrical transformers manufactured prior to May 1994 by Central Moloney, another
former operation of that corporate predecessor.
We have established reserves related to some of these liabilities based upon our best estimates in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. However, if our insurance coverage is depleted or our reserves
are not adequate, environmental and other liabilities relating to discontinued operations could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Our International Operations
We conduct a significant amount of our sales and service activities outside of the U.S., which subjects us to additional
business risks, including foreign exchange risks, that may cause our profitability to decline.
Because we sell our products and provide services in a number of foreign countries, we are subject to risks associated
with doing business internationally. In 2023, we derived approximately 40% of our net sales from sales of our products and
solutions outside of the U.S. Outside the U.S., we operate 6 primary manufacturing and service facilities (approximately 50,000
square feet or larger) located in 5 countries. Our sales and operating activities outside of the U.S. are, and will continue to be,
subject to a number of risks, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including long-term contracts denominated in foreign
currencies;
adverse changes in foreign tax, legal and regulatory requirements;
political and economic instability, including any conflict or threat of conflict that may affect Taiwan;
difficulty in protecting intellectual property;
government embargoes, tariffs and trade protection measures, such as “anti-dumping” duties applicable to classes of
products, and import or export licensing requirements, as well as the imposition of trade sanctions against a class of
products imported from or sold and exported to, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status with, countries in
which we conduct business, could significantly increase our cost of products or otherwise reduce our sales and harm
our business;
cultural norms and expectations that may sometimes be inconsistent with our Code of Conduct and our requirements
about the manner in which our employees, agents and distributors conduct business;
differing labor regulations; and
12
•
acts of hostility, terror or war.
Any of these factors, individually or together, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. For example, tapered roller bearings manufactured at our facilities in China that are
imported into the United States before re-sale to customers are currently subject to “anti-dumping” duties imposed by the U.S.
Department of Commerce based on its periodic review and analysis of our manufacturing and selling activities or the
manufacturing and selling activities of larger Chinese suppliers of these products. Such duties, if imposed at higher levels,
could materially adversely affect the commercial competitiveness of these products, which could adversely affect the business
and results of operations of our Sealing Technologies segment.
Our operations outside the United States require us to comply with a number of United States and international
regulations. For example, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), which prohibits United States
companies or their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official for the purposes of influencing
any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person
or corporate entity, or obtain any unfair advantage. Our activities in countries outside the United States create the risk of
unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees or agents that could be in violation of the FCPA, even
though these parties are not always subject to our control. We have internal control policies and procedures and have
implemented training and compliance programs with respect to the FCPA. However, we cannot assure that our policies,
procedures and programs always will protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. In the
event that we believe or have reason to believe that our employees or agents have or may have violated applicable anti-
corruption laws, including the FCPA, we may be required to investigate or have outside counsel investigate the relevant facts
and circumstances. In addition, we are subject to and must comply with all applicable export controls and economic sanctions
laws and embargoes imposed by the United States and other various governments. Changes in export control or trade sanctions
laws may restrict our business practices, including cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries or with sanctioned
entities, and may result in modifications to compliance programs and increase compliance costs, and violations of these laws or
regulations may subject us to fines, penalties and other sanctions, such as loss of authorizations needed to conduct aspects of
our international business or debarments from export privileges. Violations of the FCPA or export controls or sanctions laws
and regulations may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could
negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We intend to continue to pursue international growth opportunities, which could increase our exposure to risks associated
with international sales and operations. As we expand our international operations, we may also encounter new risks that could
adversely affect our revenues and profitability. For example, as we focus on building our international sales and distribution
networks in new geographic regions, we must continue to develop relationships with reputable and qualified local agents,
distributors and trading companies. If we are not successful in developing these relationships, we may not be able to increase
sales in these regions.
Failure to properly manage these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Capital Structure
Our debt agreement and the indenture governing our senior notes impose limitations on our operations, which could impede
our ability to respond to market conditions, address unanticipated capital investments and/or pursue business opportunities.
The agreement governing our senior secured revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes impose
limitations on our operations, such as limitations on certain restricted payments, investments, incurrence or repayment of
indebtedness, and maintenance of a consolidated net leverage ratio and an interest coverage financial ratio. In addition, the
indenture governing our senior notes contains limitations on certain restricted payments, investments and incurrence or
repayment of indebtedness. These limitations could impede our ability to respond to market conditions, address unanticipated
capital investment needs and/or pursue business opportunities.
We may not have sufficient cash to fund a required repurchase of our senior notes upon a change of control.
Upon a change of control, as defined under the indenture governing our senior notes and includes events that may be
beyond our control, the holders of our senior notes have the right to require us to offer to purchase all of our senior notes then
outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In order to obtain sufficient
funds to pay the purchase price of the outstanding notes, we expect that we would have to refinance our senior notes. We
cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance our senior notes on reasonable terms, if at all. Our failure to offer to
13
purchase all outstanding notes or to purchase all validly tendered notes would be an event of default under the indenture
governing our senior notes. Such an event of default may cause the acceleration of our other debt.
We may incur increased interest expense as a result of our variable rate debt.
Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our term loan facilities incur interest which is variable based on
fluctuations in the referenced Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Increases in the referenced SOFR will increase the
Company's borrowing costs and negatively impact financial results and cash flows.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
A relatively small number of shares are normally traded in any one day and higher volumes could have a significant
effect on the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many
reasons, including in response to the risks described in this section and elsewhere in this report or for reasons unrelated to our
operations, such as reports by industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative announcements by our customers, competitors
or suppliers regarding their own performance, as well as industry conditions and general financial, economic and political
instability.
Because our quarterly revenues and operating results may vary significantly in future periods, our stock price may fluctuate.
Our revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. A high proportion of our costs are fixed,
due in part to significant selling and manufacturing costs. Small declines in revenues could disproportionately affect operating
results in a quarter and the price of our common stock may fall. Other factors that could significantly affect quarterly operating
results include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
demand for our products and services;
the timing and execution of customer contracts;
the timing of sales of our products and services;
contractual penalties for late delivery of long-lead-time products;
increases in costs due to equipment or labor issues;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
changes in applicable tax rates;
an impairment of goodwill or other intangibles at one of our reporting units;
unanticipated delays or problems in introducing new products;
announcements by competitors of new products, services or technological innovations;
changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors;
increased expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, raw materials or supplies, product development or
administration;
• major changes in the level of economic activity in major regions of the world in which we do business;
•
•
•
•
costs related to possible future acquisitions or divestitures of technologies or businesses;
an increase in the number or magnitude of product liability or environmental claims;
our ability to expand our operations and the amount and timing of expenditures related to expansion of our
operations, particularly outside the U.S.; and
economic assumptions and market factors used to determine postretirement benefits and pension liabilities.
14
Various provisions and laws could delay or prevent a change of control.
The anti-takeover provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and provisions of North Carolina law could delay
or prevent a change of control or may impede the ability of the holders of our common stock to change our management. In
particular, our articles of incorporation and bylaws, among other things:
•
•
•
•
require a supermajority shareholder vote to approve any business combination transaction with an owner of 5% or
more of our shares unless the transaction is recommended by disinterested directors;
limit the right of shareholders to remove directors and fill vacancies;
regulate how shareholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholders’ meetings; and
authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series, without shareholder approval.
Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the market price for our common stock.
In the future, we may sell additional shares of our common stock to raise capital or issue shares of common stock as
consideration in connection with an acquisition. In addition, a reasonable number of shares of our common stock are reserved
for issuance under our equity compensation plans, including shares to be issued upon the vesting of restricted stock unit or
performance share awards. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market
price for our common stock. The issuance and sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such
issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

ITEM 1C.
CYBERSECURITY
Risk Management Strategy
We recognize the critical importance of effectively managing cybersecurity risks to protect our businesses, intellectual
property, employees, and customers. We manage cybersecurity risks as part of our broader enterprise risk management
framework, which allows us to leverage existing, robust processes for assessing the effectiveness and coverage of our controls.
In recent years, we have invested significant time and resources to develop, implement, and maintain a robust set of
cybersecurity measures, which all support our efforts to mitigate potential risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability
of our data and critical business systems. Since the cybersecurity risk landscape is in a constant state of change, we employ a
continuous, multi-layered approach to assess and measure the effectiveness of our cybersecurity defenses. Our approach
includes using select third-party resources, including external cybersecurity consultants, auditors, and technologies, along with
our internal staff, to benchmark, measure, and improve our cybersecurity risk management systems and processes, and ensure
alignment with industry best practices.
Due to the increasing risk of third and fourth-party business relationships, we implemented a Third-Party Risk
Management (“TPRM”) Program to evaluate and monitor our network of external partners, vendors, suppliers, and service
providers. Capabilities of our TPRM program include continuous monitoring of third parties, secure vendor remote access, and
security architecture to protect against cyber threats introduced through other business-to-business (“B2B”) system integrations.
In addition to above, we have implemented and maintained the following cybersecurity measures as part of our efforts to
assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, and to protect against, detect and respond to
cybersecurity incidents (as defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K):
•
•
•
Security Operations Program - a security operations program to bolster real-time cybersecurity incident detection
and response capabilities;
Security Control Framework - a security control framework that aligns with industry accepted best practices and
prioritizes implementation of critical cybersecurity controls;
Incident Response Plan - a cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, designed to effectively address cybersecurity
incidents while promoting cross-functional coordination across the organization;
15
•
•
•
•
•
Tabletop Exercises - periodic internal and vendor-led tabletop exercises to assess the effectiveness, relevance, and
completeness of the Incident Response Plan;
Assessments - annual cybersecurity assessments, which focus on identifying and remediating vulnerabilities that
present the most significant organizational risks;
Training - security awareness training for all salaried personnel that highlights critical organizational risks through
quarterly phishing simulation campaigns, “lunch and learns”, monthly communication updates, and regular
cybersecurity learning modules;
Insurance - cybersecurity insurance policies and periodic reviews of our policies and coverage levels; and
Monitoring Legal/Regulatory Developments – review of emerging data protection, data privacy, and other relevant
cybersecurity laws and regulations to determine appropriate changes to cybersecurity controls and processes.
Please see Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-K for more information regarding cybersecurity-related risks that could
materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, including under the heading “Our business
may be adversely affected by information technology disruptions”.
Board and Management Oversight
Our Board of Directors has delegated to its Audit and Risk Management Committee (the “Audit Committee”), which
consists of all of our non-management directors, the authority and responsibility to oversee our company’s compliance
program, including our cybersecurity program. Accordingly, the Audit Committee oversees our approach to cybersecurity risk
management and plays a critical role in the governance of our cybersecurity risk management program.
From a management perspective, our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) and Chief Information Officer
(“CIO”) lead our cybersecurity efforts. Our CISO has extensive experience in cybersecurity, including creating and supporting
cybersecurity programs for larger publicly-traded companies, obtaining cybersecurity certifications, participating in relevant
cybersecurity leadership communities, and public speaking engagements on cybersecurity topics. He leads a cross functional
cybersecurity team, which includes members of our legal department and internal audit function. As part of his job function,
our CISO is charged to remain informed of the latest developments in cybersecurity, including the evolving threat landscape, as
well as risk management improvement methods. This continual focus and understanding of the threat landscape, as well as risk
treatment practices, is required to ensure that the CISO can effectively manage the Company’s efforts to prevent, detect,
mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity incidents.
Our CISO implements a program and supporting processes to proactively assess systems for vulnerabilities, while taking
a risk-based approach to prioritize remediation steps. Should a cybersecurity incident occur, the CISO would reference an
incident response plan and supporting playbooks to support the incident response process. We regularly test our incident
response process by leveraging a combination of internal resources and trusted third-party consultants to test our response
readiness and the completeness of our incident response plan, including through the use of tabletop exercises.
Our CISO and CIO regularly advise the Audit Committee on cybersecurity risks and the company’s cybersecurity
program, including quarterly updates and comprehensive briefings to the Audit Committee at least annually. During these
briefings, our cybersecurity leaders advise the Audit Committee regarding (i) the current threat landscape and related risks; (ii)
the Company’s security posture and compliance efforts; and (iii) current cybersecurity strategy and recommended next steps to
address cybersecurity threats on a risk-adjusted basis.
Our CISO and CIO serve as members of our Compliance Committee, which is a management committee consisting of
leaders from key functions, including legal, internal audit, finance and compliance. The Compliance Committee receives
regular updates from the CISO and CIO on cybersecurity risks and threats.
The practice of our CISO and CIO is to communicate significant cybersecurity matters directly to senior management,
including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, which ensures that our executive
management team remains continually informed of critical events impacting our business.
For cybersecurity matters deemed material to the Company, senior management will communicate such matters directly
to the Audit Committee to enable members of the Audit Committee to offer comprehensive oversight and guidance on crucial
cybersecurity matters.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our consolidated
financial condition and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying audited Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related notes. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related notes, included elsewhere in this annual report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and releases issued by the SEC. The words “may,” “hope,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and
other expressions which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters
identify forward-looking statements. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our
shareholders, and we therefore make forward-looking statements in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Act.
However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control, and our actual results may
differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to
differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risks and uncertainties set forth in Item 1A of this
annual report, entitled “Risk Factors” and in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Whenever you read or hear any subsequent
written or oral forward-looking statements attributed to us or any person acting on our behalf, you should keep in mind the
cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
In our discussion of our outlook and results of operations, we utilize financial measures that have not been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). They include adjusted income from
continuing operations attributable to Enpro Inc., adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Enpro Inc. continuing
operations, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"), and total adjusted
segment EBITDA. Tables showing the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, other than total adjusted segment
EBITDA, to the comparable GAAP measures are included in "—Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the
Comparable GAAP Measures," while the reconciliation of total adjusted segment EBITDA is included in "—Results of
Operations."
We believe non-GAAP metrics are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate our operating
performance and, when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to evaluate our
ongoing operations and performance from period to period. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are some of the factors we
use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our businesses. We acknowledge that there are many items that impact
our reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP measures are not intended to present all items that may
have impacted these results. In addition, the non-GAAP measures we use are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.
Overview
Overview. Enpro is a leading-edge industrial technology company focused on critical applications across a diverse group
of growing end markets such as semiconductor, industrial process, commercial vehicle, sustainable power generation,
aerospace, food and pharmaceuticals, photonics, and life sciences. We have 13 primary manufacturing and service facilities
located in 6 countries, including the United States. Enpro is a leader in applied engineering and designs, develops,
manufactures, and markets proprietary, value-added products and solutions that safeguard a variety of critical environments.
Over the past several years, we have executed several strategic initiatives to focus the portfolio of businesses where we
offer proprietary, industrial technology-related products and solutions with high barriers to entry, compelling margins, strong
cash flow, and perpetual recurring/aftermarket revenue in markets with favorable secular tailwinds.
22
We manage our business as two segments: a Sealing Technologies segment and an Advanced Surface Technologies
segment.
Our Sealing Technologies segment engineers and manufactures value-added products and solutions that safeguard a
variety of critical environments, including: metallic, non-metallic and composite material gaskets; dynamic seals; compression
packing; elastomeric components; custom-engineered mechanical seals used in diverse applications; hydraulic components;
test, measurement and sensing applications; sanitary gaskets; hoses and fittings for hygienic process industries; fluid transfer
products for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries; and commercial vehicle solutions used in wheel-end and
suspension components that customers rely upon to ensure safety on our roadways.
These products are used in a variety of markets, including chemical and petrochemical processing, nuclear energy, hydrogen,
natural gas, food and biopharmaceutical processing, primary metal manufacturing, mining, water and waste treatment,
commercial vehicle, aerospace (including commercial space), medical, filtration and semiconductor fabrication. In all these
industries, the performance and durability of our proprietary products and solutions are vital for the safety and environmental
protection of our customers’ processes. Many of our products and solutions are used in highly demanding applications, often in
harsh environments, where the cost of failure is extremely high relative to the cost of our offerings to our customers. These
environments include those where extreme temperatures, extreme pressures, corrosive agents, strict tolerances, or worn
equipment create challenges for product performance. Sealing Technologies offers customers widely recognized applied
engineering, innovation, process know- how and enduring reliability, driving a lasting aftermarket for many of our products and
solutions.
Our Advanced Surface Technologies (AST) segment applies proprietary technologies, processes, and capabilities to deliver a
highly differentiated suite of products and solutions for challenging applications in high-growth markets. The segment’s
products and solutions are used in demanding environments requiring performance, precision and repeatability, with a low
tolerance for failure. AST’s products and solutions include: (i) cleaning, coating, testing, refurbishment and verification for
critical components and assemblies used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, with meaningful exposures to state-of-
the-art advanced node chip applications; (ii) designing, manufacturing and selling specialized optical filters and proprietary
thin-film coatings for the most challenging applications in the industrial technology, life sciences, and semiconductor markets;

Acquisitions
On December 28, 2023, our direct, wholly owned subsidiary, EnPro Holdings, Inc. ("EnPro Holdings"), entered into an
agreement to acquire Advanced Micro Instruments, Inc. (“AMI”), for $210 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price
adjustments related to the final acquisition date net working capital determination. AMI is a leading provider of highly-
engineered, application-specific analyzers and sensing technologies that monitor critical parameters to maintain infrastructure
integrity, enable process efficiency, enhance safety, and facilitate the clean energy transition.
The acquisition closed on January 29, 2024 and thus the assets and operating results of AMI are not included in our 2023
consolidated financial statements. (see Note 21 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for information on
this subsequent event). AMI's financial results will be included as part of our Sealing Technologies segment beginning January
29, 2024.
Based in Costa Mesa, California, AMI serves customers in the midstream natural gas, biogas, industrial processing,
cryogenics, food processing, laboratory, wastewater and aerospace markets. AMI offers a portfolio of oxygen, hydrogen sulfide
and moisture analyzers and proprietary sensing capabilities that detect contaminants in a variety of processes, including natural
gas and biogas streams, which enable operators to avoid flaring and, thereby, reduce CO2 emissions.
On December 17, 2021, EnPro Holdings acquired all issued and outstanding membership interests of TCFII NxEdge LLC
(“NxEdge”). The consideration paid by EnPro Holdings was $853.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, subject to customary
purchase price adjustments related to the final acquisition date net working capital determination. We funded the acquisition of
NxEdge with available cash and borrowings under our senior credit facilities.
NxEdge is an advanced manufacturing, cleaning, coating, and refurbishment business focused on the semiconductor value
chain, with six main facilities located in Idaho and California. Since the date of its acquisition, NxEdge has been included as
part of the Company’s Advanced Surface Technologies segment.
23
On October 26, 2020, a subsidiary of Enpro formed for this purpose (the "Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary") acquired all of
the equity securities of Alluxa, Inc. ("Alluxa"), a privately held, California-based company. Alluxa is an industrial technology
company that provides specialized optical filters and thin-film coatings for the most challenging applications in the industrial
technology, life sciences, and semiconductor markets. Alluxa's products are developed through a proprietary coating process
using state-of-the-art advanced equipment. Alluxa is included as part of the Advanced Surface Technologies segment.
Alluxa works in collaboration with customers across major end markets to provide customized, complex precision coating
solutions through its specialized technology platform and proprietary processes. Alluxa has long-standing customer
relationships across its diversified customer base, serving customers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 2007,
Alluxa has two locations in California and is headquartered in Santa Rosa, California.
In connection with the completion of the transaction, we entered into a limited liability operating agreement with respect
to the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary in connection with the rollover transaction, with three equity owners of Alluxa, who were
also executives of Alluxa, receiving approximately 7% of the equity interests of the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary in return for
their contribution of the rollover shares of Alluxa. In the first quarter of 2024, we acquired all of these equity interests in the
Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary for $17.9 million and became the sole owner of Alluxa.
In September 2019, Lunar Investment LLC ("Lunar"), a subsidiary of Enpro, acquired all of the equity securities of
LeanTeq Co, LTD. and its affiliate LeanTeq LLC (collectively referred to as "LeanTeq"). As part of the transaction, two of the
equity owners of LeanTeq, who were executives of the acquired entity (the "LeanTeq Executives"), acquired approximately a
10% ownership share of Lunar in the form of rollover equity. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Taoyuan City, Taiwan,
LeanTeq has two locations in Taiwan and one in the United States (Silicon Valley). LeanTeq primarily provides refurbishment
solutions for critical components and assemblies used in state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This
equipment is used to produce technologically advanced microchips for smartphones, autonomous vehicles, high-speed wireless
connectivity, artificial intelligence, and other leading-edge applications. LeanTeq partners closely with original equipment
manufacturers throughout the development and production lifecycle to achieve Process of Record qualifications, enabling long-
term, recurring aftermarket revenue. Aftermarket refurbishment solutions have historically represented approximately 65% of
LeanTeq's total sales. LeanTeq’s suite of solutions includes cleaning, coating, analytical testing, inspection and verification, kit
assembly, failure analysis, and other value-added solutions. LeanTeq is included as part of our Advanced Surface Technologies
segment. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Enpro acquired all the equity securities of Lunar owned by the LeanTeq Executives
for an anticipated $42.8 million and became the sole owner of LeanTeq. As a result of this purchase transaction, $35.0 million
of our Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests was reclassified as a liability. We paid $41.9 million in December 2022, which
was the minimum purchase price for these equity securities, of which $7.8 million eliminated our outstanding deferred
compensation liability and $34.1 million reduced the liability attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest acquisition.
As a result of the financial performance of LeanTeq in November 2023, we will make a final $1.1 million payment to the
LeanTeq Executives in the first quarter of 2024. We have recorded this payment as a liability included in accrued expenses on
our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
Discontinued Operations
During the third quarter of 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our GGB business and announced our intention to
sell Garlock Pipeline Technologies, Inc. ("GPT"). These businesses, along with Compressor Products International ("CPI"),
which was divested on December 21, 2021, comprised our entire Engineered Materials segment ("Engineered Materials"). As a
result of classifying the GGB and GPT businesses as held for sale in the third quarter of 2022, we determined Engineered
Materials to be a discontinued operation.
On January 30, 2023 we completed the sale of GPT. In 2023, we received $28.9 million, net of transaction fees and cash
sold, resulting in a pretax gain of $14.6 million recognized in the first quarter of 2023.
The sale of GGB closed on November 4, 2022 to The Timken Company. We received $298.2 million, net of transaction
fees and cash sold, including $3.1 million of payments made in Q1 of 2023. We recorded a pre-tax gain of $189.1 million as
part of our discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The sale of GGB included a subsidiary of our Sealing Technologies segment which is not part of the discontinued
operations described above. The results of operations of this subsidiary are included in continuing operations for all periods
being reported. As a result of this sale, we recorded a $0.4 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 in other expense in our
consolidated statement of operations.
On October 12, 2021, we entered into an Equity and Asset Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of specified equity
interests and assets of CPI. The sale closed on December 21, 2021 and we recorded a pretax gain of $117.6 million in the fourth
quarter of 2021 as a result of this transaction.
24
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts presented in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations pertain to continuing operations only (see Note 20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form
10-K for information on discontinued operations and the related disposition of those operations)
Other Dispositions
On September 2, 2021, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our polymer components business unit, which was
principally located in Houston, Texas and had been included in our Sealing Technologies segment. As a result of the sale, we
recorded a pre-tax gain of $19.5 million in other income (expense) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We measure segment operating performance based on segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, and other selected items ("Adjusted Segment EBITDA" or "Segment AEBITDA"), which is segment revenue
reduced by operating expenses and other costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses,
restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to
acquisition date inventory, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may
not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Corporate expenses include general corporate
administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains and
losses related to the sale of assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA. The
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for Enpro.
Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with a portion of the
rollover equity from the acquisitions of LeanTeq and Alluxa that was subject to reduction for certain types of employment
terminations of the sellers. This expense was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our Consolidated
Statements of Operations and is directly related to the terms of the acquisitions. We acquired all of the LeanTeq non-
controlling interests in the fourth quarter of 2022 and all of the Alluxa non-controlling interests in the first quarter of 2024.
26
Other income (expense), net in the table above contains all items included in other (operating) expense and other income
(expense) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 with the
exception of $4.0 million, $1.9 million, and $2.4 million, respectively, of segment restructuring costs and $1.0 million, $1.1
million and $0.1 million of corporate restructuring costs in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, other income
(expense), net in the table above for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 also includes $1.6 million, $(1.8)
million, and $3.4 million, respectively, of miscellaneous expenses (credits) that are either not associated with a particular
segment or not considered part of administering the corporate headquarters. These expenses are included in selling, general and
administrative expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
2023 Compared to 2022
Sales of $1,059.3 million in 2023 decreased 3.6% from $1,099.2 million in 2022. The following table summarizes the

Following is a discussion of operating results for each segment during 2023 compared to 2022:
Sealing Technologies. Sales of $658.4 million in 2023 reflect a 5.5% increase compared to $624.3 million in 2022.
Excluding favorable foreign exchange translation ($3.1 million) on our 2023 sales and the sales from businesses that have since
been divested ($4.1 million) from 2022 results, sales were up 5.7% or $35.1 million. This increase was primarily driven by
sales price actions partially offset by lower sales volume. The sales volume decline in food and pharmaceuticals, commercial
vehicle OEM, and general industrial was greater than the sales volume increase in aerospace and power generation.
Segment AEBITDA of $192.3 million in 2023 increased 20.9% from $159.1 million in 2022. Segment AEBITDA margin
increased from 25.5% in 2022 to 29.2% in 2023. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange translation ($1.6 million) from 2023
results and the Segment AEBITDA earned from businesses that have since been divested ($1.9 million) from 2022 results,
Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 21.3%, or $33.5 million. The increase in Segment AEBITDA was driven primarily by
pricing gains ($41.2 million) and favorable sales mix ($2.2 million), partially offset by increase in labor and overhead costs
($5.3 million), decreased sales volume ($4.0 million), foreign exchange transaction related costs ($0.3 million), and higher
segment selling, general, and administrative costs ($0.3 million).
Advanced Surface Technologies. Sales of $401.2 million in 2023 reflect a 15.7% decrease compared to $476.1 million in
2022. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange translation ($2.6 million) from 2023 results, sales were down (15.2)% or
$(72.3) million. This decrease was driven primarily by the slowdown in the global semiconductor industry.
Segment AEBITDA of $95.5 million in 2023 decreased 32.5% from $141.5 million in 2022. Segment AEBITDA margin
decreased from 29.7% in 2022 to 23.8% in 2023. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange translation ($1.6
million) from 2023 results, Segment AEBITDA was down 31.4% or $44.4 million. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA
was driven primarily by lower volumes ($37.4 million), higher labor costs ($5.2 million), and a higher level of start-up
expenses for LeanTeq's new production site in Arizona.
Corporate expenses for 2023 increased $2.5 million as compared to 2022. The increase was driven primarily by an
increase in share-price-based long-term incentive compensation expenses ($5.5 million) as a result of our strong share price
performance during 2023, partially offset by lower annual incentive compensation expense ($2.3 million) and decreased
consulting related professional fees ($0.7 million).
Interest expense, net in 2023 decreased by $3.8 million as compared to 2022 primarily due to higher interest income
earned on cash and short-term investment balances and the impact of lower average outstanding debt due to the repayment of
Term Loan A-1 of $133.1 million on July 26, 2023, offset in part by higher interest rates on our variable rate term loan debt and
lower receipts as a result of settling one of our cross currency swap agreements in 2022.
Other income (expense), net in 2023 increased by $2.3 million as compared to 2022, primarily due to higher non-service
pension related costs ($5.1 million), decreased year-over-year foreign exchange gains ($4.8 million), and increased costs related
to divested businesses ($1.4 million), partially offset by an asbestos receivable write-down in the prior-year period ($2.8
27
million), decreased foreign exchange losses related to an intercompany note denominated in Euros ($1.6 million), lower
environmental-related costs ($2.2 million), prior-year warranty costs related to a disposed product line ($0.7 million), a loss on
the sale of a business in the prior year-period ($0.6 million), and a decrease in charges related to the reversal of a receivable
related to an amount due from the sellers of Aseptic for uncertain tax positions that have passed the statute of limitations ($0.9
million). An offsetting decrease in expense was recorded for the release of the corresponding liability for the uncertain tax
position and is reflected as a reduction in tax expense.
Income tax expense from continuing operations was $30.8 million in 2023 and $24.4 million in 2022. The effective tax
rates for 2023 and 2022 were 81.6% and 86.2% respectively. The higher effective tax rate for both years was primarily driven
by goodwill impairment, which is not deductible for income taxes, the foreign rate differential related to certain foreign
earnings that were subject to higher tax rates, and releasing valuation allowances on certain tax attributes. In 2023, we had an
increased tax expense relative to 2022, primarily driven by higher pre-tax earnings and the net impact of a legal entity
restructuring.
Goodwill impairment expense of $60.8 million and $65.2 million was incurred in 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to
the Alluxa reporting unit. No goodwill impairment expense was incurred in 2021.
Income from continuing operations attributable to Enpro Inc. was $10.8 million, or $0.52 per share, in 2023 compared to
income from continuing operations attributable to Enpro Inc. of $6.7 million, or $0.32 per share, in 2022.
2022 Compared to 2021
For a comparison of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021, see "Part II,
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.
Restructuring and Other Costs
We incurred $5.0 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million of restructuring and impairment costs during the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, in 2023 and 2022, we incurred goodwill impairment charges of
$60.8 million and $65.2 million, respectively, related to the Alluxa reporting unit. No goodwill impairment expense was
incurred in 2021.
Of the restructuring and impairment costs incurred in 2023 and 2022, we incurred $4.3 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, of restructuring costs related to the reorganization of sites and functions, primarily in the United States and
$0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges of long-lived assets. Workforce reductions
associated with our restructuring activities in 2023 and 2022 totaled 72 and 25 administrative and manufacturing positions,
respectively.
During 2021, we conducted a number of restructuring activities throughout our operations which mostly comprised of
targeted workforce reductions. All costs associated with such initiatives were incurred in 2021. Workforce reductions associated
with our restructuring activities totaled 36 administrative and manufacturing positions.
Please see the "Overview" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for, but not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and debt repayments have
been funded from cash balances on hand, revolver borrowings and cash generated from operations. We are proactively pursuing
acquisition opportunities. Should we need additional capital, we have resources available, which are discussed in this section
under the heading “Capital Resources.”
As of December 31, 2023, we held $214.1 million of cash and cash equivalents in the United States and $155.7 million of
cash outside of the United States. The acquisition of AMI on January 29, 2024 for $210 million was funded with cash available
in the United States. If the funds held outside the United States were needed for our operations in the U.S., we have several
methods to repatriate such funds without significant adverse tax effects, including repayment of intercompany loans,
distributions subject to a 100-percent dividends-received deduction for income tax purposes, or distributions of previously-
taxed earnings.
28
Because of the transition tax, GILTI, and Subpart F provisions, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries totaling
$251.0 million at December 31, 2022 have been subjected to U.S. income tax or are eligible for the 100-percent dividends-
received deduction under Section 245A of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Additionally, undistributed earnings are estimated to be $179.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Whether through the
application of the 100-percent dividends received deduction, or distribution of these previously-taxed earnings, we do not
intend to distribute foreign earnings that will be subject to any significant incremental U.S. or foreign tax. During 2023, we
repatriated $72.6 million of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, resulting in only $0.4 million of withholding taxes net of
refunds to be received. We have determined that estimating any tax liability on our investment in foreign subsidiaries is not
practicable. Therefore, we have not recorded any deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
Cash Flows
Operating activities of continuing operations provided cash in the amount of $208.4 million, $106.1 million and $124.1
million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows in 2023 versus 2022 was primarily
attributable to less income tax payments, net of refunds ($63.6 million) and improvements in net working capital. Higher tax
payments in 2022 were the result of high proceeds from our divestiture of discontinued operations. The decrease in operating
cash flow in 2022 versus 2021 was primarily attributable to increased income tax payments ($74.4 million) primarily related a
refund from the IRS received in 2021 as a result of the conclusion of an audit of our 2014 through 2017 U.S. federal income tax
returns and higher tax payments related to the divestiture of discontinued operations. These increases were partially offset
higher sales volume.
Investing activities of continuing operations used $7.4 million in 2023, provided $268.6 million in 2022, and used $647.4
million of cash in 2021. Investing activities in 2023 used cash primarily for investments in property, plant, and equipment
($33.9 million), partially offset by proceeds of the sale of businesses, principally the sale of GPT ($25.9 million). Investing
activities in 2022 provided cash from the sale of businesses ($301.9 million), primarily the sale of GGB, and the settlement of
derivative contracts ($27.4 million). This was partially offset by the payments for acquisitions, driven by the acquisition of the
equity interests in LeanTeq held by the LeanTeq Executives ($31.2 million) and investments in property, plant and equipment
($29.4 million). The cash used in 2021 was primarily the result of the acquisition of NxEdge ($856.8 million), partially offset
by proceeds from the divestiture of CPI and other businesses during the year ($224.3 million).
Financing activities of continuing operations used $170.9 million in cash in 2023, primarily attributable to payments on
our Term Loan Facilities, including the complete repayment of our Term Loan A-1 Facility, as defined and discussed below,
($144.9 million) and by dividend payments ($24.3 million). Financing activities of continuing operations provided $368.0
million in 2022 primarily attributable to a net payment our Revolving Credit Facility, as defined below, and Term Loan
Facilities ($337.0 million) and by dividend payments ($23.4 million). Financing activities provided $618.2 million in 2021,
primarily attributable to a net draw on our revolving credit facility ($175.0 million), new Term Loan Facilities, as discussed
below, ($465.0 million), and issuance of common stock ($10.0 million), partially offset by dividend payments ($22.4 million)
and principal payments to our existing Term Loan A-1 Facility ($3.8 million).
Capital Resources
Senior Secured Credit Facility. On December 17, 2021, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(the “Amended Credit Agreement”) dated as of December 17, 2021 among the Company and EnPro Holdings, as borrowers,
certain of our foreign subsidiaries are from time to time party thereto, as designated borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the
lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. The Amended
Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 28,
2018, as amended, among the Company and EnPro Holdings as borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party
thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities in the initial aggregate principal amount of $1,007.5
million, consisting of a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a
$142.5 million senior secured term loan facility in replacement of the our existing senior secured term loan facility, maturing
September 25, 2024 (the “Term Loan A-1 Facility”), a five-year, senior secured term loan facility of $315.0 million (the “Term
Loan A-2 Facility”) and a 364-day, senior secured term loan facility of $150.0 million (the “364-Day Facility” and together
with the Term Loan A-1 Facility and the Term Loan A-2 Facility, the "Term Loan Facilities”, which together with the
Revolving Credit Facility are referred to as the "Facilities"). The Amended Credit Agreement also provides that we may seek
incremental term loans and/or additional revolving credit commitments in an amount equal to the greater of $275.0 million and
100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently ended four-quarter period for which we have reported financial results,
plus additional amounts based on a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement became
effective on December 17, 2021.
29
Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% or base rate plus 0.50%.
Initially, borrowings under the Facilities (other than the 364-Day Facility) bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%
or base rate plus 0.75%, although these interest rates were subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated
total net leverage ratio. On November 8, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which
replaced the LIBOR-based interest rate option with an option based on Term SOFR ("Secured Overnight Financing Rate") plus
(i) a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (ii) 1.75%, again subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a
consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolving
Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.225%, which rate is also subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a
consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The Term Loan A-1 Facility amortized on a quarterly basis in an annual amount equal to 2.50% of the original principal
amount of the Term Loan A-1 Facility ($150.0 million) in year one after the closing, 5.00% of such original principal amount in
year two and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of year three, with the remaining
outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The Term Loan A-2 Facility amortizes on a quarterly basis in an annual
amount equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 Facility in each of years one through three, 5.0%
of such original principal amount in year four and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of
year five, with the remaining outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The 364-Day Facility did not amortize and was
repaid in full in the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Facilities are subject to prepayment with the net cash proceeds of
certain asset sales not reinvested in acquisitions within a specified period, casualty or condemnation events, and non-permitted
debt issuances. On July 21, 2023, we entered into a waiver agreement under Amended Credit Agreement that waived the
requirement to prepay the Facilities with remaining excess net cash proceeds related to the sale of GGB and GPT that had not
been reinvested in operating assets within 365 days from the date of the sale. In conjunction with this waiver, on July 26, 2023,
we voluntarily prepaid all outstanding borrowings and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan A-1 Facility (a
remaining principal balance of $133.1 million and accrued interest of $0.6 million). After taking into account the repayment of
borrowings under the Term Loan A-1 Facility noted above, forecasted capital expenditures, and other applicable expenditures,
we expect to meet all reinvestment requirements under the indenture related to the excess net cash proceeds from the sales of
GGB and GPT. There is no prepayment penalty for a full or partial repayment of the Facilities at any time.
The Company and EnPro Holdings are the permitted borrowers under the Facilities. We have the ability to add wholly
owned foreign subsidiaries as borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each of our domestic, consolidated subsidiaries
(other than any subsidiaries that may be designated as "unrestricted" by the Company from time to time an inactive
subsidiaries) is required to guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Facilities, and each of our existing domestic,
consolidated subsidiaries (other than inactive subsidiaries) has entered into the Amended Credit Agreement to provide such a
guarantee.
Borrowings under the Facilities are secured by a first-priority pledge of the following assets:
•
•
•
100% of the capital stock of each domestic subsidiary of the Company (other than unrestricted or inactive
subsidiaries);
65% of the capital stock of any first tier foreign subsidiary of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other
than unrestricted or inactive subsidiaries); and
substantially all of the assets (including, without limitation, machinery and equipment, inventory and other goods,
accounts receivable, bank accounts, general intangibles, financial assets, investment property, license rights,
patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, chattel paper, insurance proceeds, contract rights, hedge agreements,
documents, instruments, indemnification rights, tax refunds and cash, but excluding real estate interests) of the
Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than unrestricted or inactive subsidiaries).
The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants and required financial ratios, including:
•
a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of not more than 4.75 to 1.0 (with total debt, for the purposes of
such ratio, to be net of up to $150 million of unrestricted cash of Enpro Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries),
which ratio will decrease to 4.5 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31,
2022 and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and to 4.0 to 1.0 for each quarter thereafter;
and, once so decreased, may be increased (up to three times) at the borrowers' option to not more than 4.5 to 1.0
for the for-quarter period following a significant acquisition; and
•
a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 2.5 to 1.0.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to customary
exceptions and qualifications), including covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:
30
•
•
grant liens on our assets;
incur additional indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent obligations);
• make certain investments (including loans and advances);
• merge or make other fundamental changes;
•
•
sell or otherwise dispose of property or assets;
pay dividends and other distributions and prepay certain indebtedness;
• make changes in the nature of our business;
•
•
enter into transactions with our affiliates;
enter into burdensome contracts; and
• modify or terminate documents related to certain indebtedness.
We were in compliance with all covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023. The borrowing
availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2023 was $390 million after giving consideration to $10.0
million of outstanding letters of credit. The balance of our outstanding Term Loan A-2 Facility at December 31, 2023 was
$299.3 million.
Senior Notes. On October 17, 2018, we completed the offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.75%
senior notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes") and applied the net proceeds of that offering, together with borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility, to redeem on October 31, 2018 the full $450 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding
5.875% senior notes due 2022.
The Senior Notes were issued to investors at 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Senior Notes are unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of Enpro and mature on October 15, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 5.75%
per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15,
2019. The Senior Notes are required to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of Enpro’s existing and future direct
and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower under, or guarantees, our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility
or guarantees any other Capital Markets Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes) of Enpro or any
of the guarantors.
Commencing on October 15, 2021, we may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at
specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem a portion of the aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Notes before October 15, 2021 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a specified
redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to October 15, 2021,
we could redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make whole” premium.
Each holder of the Senior Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of the Senior Notes held by such holder for cash
upon the occurrence of a defined “change of control” event. Our ability to redeem the Senior Notes prior to maturity is subject
to certain conditions, including in certain cases the payment of make-whole amounts.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes requires us to apply the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales not reinvested
in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, to
the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount, to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The payments for long-term debt shown in the table above reflect the contractual principal amount for the Senior Notes
and term loans under our Amended Credit Agreement. In our Consolidated Balance Sheet, these amounts are shown net of a
debt discount of $3.3 million. Additional discussion regarding the Senior Notes and Amended Credit Agreement is included in
this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in “Liquidity and Capital
Resources – Capital Resources,” and in Note 11, "Debt," to the consolidated financial statements. The interest on debt
represents the contractual interest coupon. It does not include the debt discount accretion, which also is a component of interest
expense.
The estimated payments of environmental liabilities is based on information currently known to us. However, it is
possible that these estimates will vary from actual results and it is possible that these estimates may be updated if new
information becomes available in the future or if there are changes in the facts and circumstances related to these liabilities.
Additional discussion regarding these liabilities is included earlier in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in “Contingencies – Environmental" and "Contingencies – Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/
a Crucible, Inc.,” and in Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the consolidated financial statements.
The table does not include obligations under our pension plans, which is included in Note 14, "Pension," to the
consolidated financial statements.
Share Repurchase Program
In October 2022, our board of directors renewed their authorization for a new two-year program of up to $50.0 million
for the repurchase of our outstanding common shares. We have not made any repurchases for the three-year period ended
December 31, 2023.
Dividends
On January 13, 2015, our board of directors adopted a policy under which it intends to declare regular quarterly cash
dividends on Enpro’s common stock, with the determination of whether to declare a dividend and the amount being considered
each quarter, after taking into account our cash flow, earnings, cash position, financial position and other relevant matters. In
2021, our board declared a dividend of $0.27 per share in each quarter, in 2022, our board declared a dividend of $0.28 per
share in each quarter, and in 2023 our board declared a dividend of $0.29 per share in each quarter. On February 15, 2024 we
announced that our board of directors had increased the quarterly dividend to $0.30 per share, commencing with the dividend to
be paid on March 20, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of March 6, 2024. Each of the Credit Agreement and the indenture
governing the Senior Notes includes covenants restricting the payment of dividends, but includes a basket permitting the
payment of cash dividends of up to $50.0 million per year under the Credit Agreement and $60.0 million per year under the
indenture governing the Senior Notes. Other baskets may be available under that the agreement governing the Revolving
Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes to permit the payment of dividends in excess of the respective
basket amount.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosures pertaining to contingent assets and liabilities. Note 1, “Overview, Basis of Presentation,
Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes
32
the significant accounting policies used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements and recently issued accounting
guidance. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to bad debts, inventories,
intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, restructuring, pensions, and contingencies and litigation. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from our estimates.
We believe the following accounting estimates are the most critical. Some of them involve significant judgments and
uncertainties and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses.
Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to annual impairment testing that is conducted each calendar year in the fourth
quarter. Our annual impairment testing for all of our intangible assets is November 1 of each year.
The goodwill asset impairment test involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. An
impairment charge is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized
would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Interim tests during the year may be required if
an event occurs or circumstances change (a "triggering event") that in management's judgement would more likely than not
reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its’ carrying amount.
To estimate the fair value of our five reporting units, we use both a discounted cash flow and a market valuation
approach. The discounted cash flow approach uses cash flow projections and a discount rate to calculate the fair value of each
reporting unit while the market approach relies on market multiples of similar companies. The key assumptions used for the
discounted cash flow approach include projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in
working capital, and the discount and tax rates. For the market approach, we select a group of peer companies that we believe
are best representative of each reporting unit. We used a 75% weighting for the discounted cash flow valuation approach and a
25% weighting for the market valuation approach, reflecting our belief that the discounted cash flow valuation approach is a
better indicator of a reporting unit's value since it reflects the specific cash flows anticipated to be generated in the future by the
business.
At the time of our annual test as of November 1, 2022, our updated forecast and projections based upon our annual
projection and analysis indicated that the carrying value of the Alluxa reporting unit exceeded fair value by $65.2 million which
has been recognized as an impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2022. This was primarily driven by the increase in
discount rate from 12.0% as of November 1, 2021 to 14.6% as of November 1, 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, we
determined the lower than previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of our Alluxa reporting unit to be a
triggering event for an interim goodwill impairment test. We determined the carrying value of our Alluxa reporting unit to
exceed its fair value and, as a result, we impaired the remaining $60.8 million of goodwill related to Alluxa. Our Consolidated
Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 reflects no goodwill related to Alluxa.
The fair value of our semiconductor reporting unit, included in the Advanced Surface Technologies segment, exceeded
carrying value by approximately 20% as of November 1, 2023. The carrying value of the Semiconductor reporting unit as of
December 31, 2023 includes $532.2 million of goodwill. In the second quarter of 2023, we determined the lower than
previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of our Semiconductor reporting unit to be a triggering event
for an interim goodwill impairment test. We determined the fair value exceeded the carrying value as of June 30, 2023. Our
Semiconductor reporting unit's value increased from our interim test as of June 30, 2023 due to further progression in our
growth initiatives for the reporting unit. We considered the sensitivity of the valuation of our Semiconductor reporting unit to
adverse changes in our projected cash flows under three separate alternative scenarios. First, with a 5% reduction in forecasted
sales used in our valuation model, we estimate the fair value of the Semiconductor reporting unit would exceed its carrying
value by approximately 12%. Second, with a 1% increase in the discount rate as of November 1, 2023 we estimate our fair
value of the Semiconductor reporting unit would exceed its carrying value by approximately 9%. For the third scenario, the
combination of a 1% increase in discount rate and 5% reduction in forecasted sales would result in the fair value of our
Semiconductor reporting unit approximating the carrying value. All annual and interim impairment tests of goodwill for the
Semiconductor reporting unit performed during the 3-years ended December 31, 2023 indicated there was no impairment of
goodwill for the Semiconductor reporting unit.
The fair value of the three reporting units of our Sealing Technologies segment all exceeded their respective carrying
values by more than 75% as of November 1, 2023. Our annual impairment test of the goodwill for the three reporting units of
our Sealing Technologies segment as of November 1, 2022 and 2021 indicated no impairment.
33
Annual assessments are conducted in the context of information that was reasonably available to us as of the date of the
assessment including our best estimates of future sales volumes and prices; material and labor cost and availability; operational
efficiency including the impact of projected capital asset additions, and the discount rates and tax rates. We will perform our
next annual goodwill impairment tests as of November 1, 2024; or earlier, if adverse changes in circumstances result in our
assessment that a triggering event has occurred at any of our reporting units and an interim test is required.
Other intangible assets are recorded at cost or, when acquired as a part of a business combination, at estimated fair value.
These assets include customer relationships, patents and other technology-related assets, trademarks, licenses, and non-compete
agreements. Intangible assets that have definite lives are amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the
economic benefits of the assets are consumed or the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 1 to 21 years. Intangible
assets with indefinite lives, which consist primarily of trade names, are subject to at least annual impairment testing, which was
conducted as of November 1 in 2023, 2022 and 2021. The impairment testing compares the fair value of the intangible asset
with its carrying amount using the relief from royalty method. The testing completed as of November 1, 2023, 2022 and 2021,
indicated no impairment. Interim tests may be required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value below the carrying value or change the useful life of the asset.
Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and it is reasonably likely that
assumptions and estimates will change in future periods. These changes could result in future impairments. For additional
information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview” as
well as Notes 1 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental
Although we believe past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable regulations, we or one or
more of our subsidiaries are involved with various remediation activities or an investigation to determine responsibility for
environmental conditions at 19 sites.
Our policy is to accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In general, due to uncertainties regarding, among other factors, changes
to operating and monitoring requirements based on the ongoing performance of the remediation system and/or changes to
applicable legal and regulatory requirements, we do not consider costs for remediation activities beyond five years to be
reasonably estimable. To the extent that capital costs to be incurred more than five years out, such as costs for the construction
or decommissioning of remediation systems, can be reasonable estimated such costs are included in our environmental reserves.
For sites with multiple future projected cost scenarios for identified feasible investigation and remediation options where no one
estimate is more likely than all the others, our policy is to accrue the lowest estimate among the range of estimates. The
measurement of our liability is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual situation and
takes into consideration factors such as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and prior experience in the
remediation of similar contaminated sites. Liabilities are established for all sites based on these factors. As assessments and
remediation progress at individual sites, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional technical data and legal
information. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other parties
potentially being fully or partially liable, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible
to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities.
We believe that our accruals for specific environmental liabilities are adequate based on currently available information.
Based upon limited information regarding any incremental remediation or other actions that may be required at these sites, we
cannot estimate any further loss or a reasonably possible range of loss related to these matters. Actual costs to be incurred in
future periods may vary from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures due to
unknown and changing conditions, changing government regulations and legal standards regarding liability.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Temporary differences arising between the tax
basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are used to calculate future income tax
assets or liabilities. This method also requires the recognition of deferred tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards.
Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income (losses) in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment of the change. A tax
benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position will be
sustained on its technical merits. If the recognition threshold for the tax position is met, only the portion of the tax benefit that
34
we believe is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized is recorded. Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable
adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, statute expirations, new regulatory or
judicial pronouncements, changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, future tax planning strategies, or
other relevant events.
OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project - Pillar 2
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) has introduced a framework to implement
a global minimum corporate tax of 15%, referred to as Pillar Two. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation
to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of
introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2, which is to be effective for tax years beginning in 2024. Based on the currently
issued guidance by the OECD we do not expect Pillar 2 to have a material impact on our effective tax rate in the year of
adoption or in subsequent years. As the OECD continues to release additional guidance and countries implement legislation, we
are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our tax rate, including eligibility to
qualify for safe harbor rules.
Impact of Pending Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, "Overview, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting
Guidance," to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting guidance that we have not yet
adopted.
Contingencies
A description of our contingencies is included in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
On October 17, 2018, we completed the offering of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated, joint and several basis by our existing and future wholly owned direct and indirect
domestic subsidiaries, that are each guarantors of our Revolving Credit Facility, including subsidiaries that were wholly owned
at the time they provided the guarantee but thereafter became majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor
Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries at December 31, 2023 comprise all of our consolidated domestic subsidiaries at that
date. Our subsidiaries organized outside of the United States, (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) do not guarantee
the Senior Notes.
The Guarantor Subsidiaries jointly and severally guarantee on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis the performance and
punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity of the Senior Notes, by acceleration or otherwise, all of our obligations
under the Senior Notes and the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”), whether for payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by the
Guarantor Subsidiaries are referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have jointly and severally
agreed to pay, in addition to the obligations stated above, any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses)
incurred by the trustee (the “Trustee”) under the Indenture in enforcing any rights under their guarantees of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
Each guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary is limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed by it without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each
guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary is a continuing guarantee and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Trustee, the holders of the Senior Notes and their successors, transferees and assigns and, subject to the provisions described in
the following sentence, remains in full force and effect until payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such
Guarantor Subsidiary and is binding upon such Guarantor Subsidiary and its successors. A guarantee of the Senior Notes by a
Guarantor Subsidiary is subject to release in the following circumstances: (i) the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer
(including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of the capital stock of the subsidiary made in a manner
not in violation of the Indenture; (ii) the designation of the subsidiary as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under the Indenture; (iii)
the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Senior Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or (iv) the
subsidiary ceasing to be our subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing our Revolving
Credit Facility or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

The table above reflects $9.6 million of current intercompany receivables due to the Guarantor Subsidiaries from the Non-
Guarantor Subsidiaries and $8.6 million of current intercompany payables due to the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries from the
Guarantor Subsidiaries within current assets and liabilities held and used.
The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay
any amounts due pursuant to the Senior Notes or the Indenture, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends,
loans, distributions or other payments. Any right that the Company or the Guarantor Subsidiaries have to receive any assets of
any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, and the
consequent rights of holders of Senior Notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary’s assets,
would be effectively subordinated to the claims of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors and
holders of preferred equity interests, if any, of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy,
liquidation or reorganization of any of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of
their debts, holders of preferred equity interests, if any, and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of
their assets to the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiaries.
If a Guarantor Subsidiary were to become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial
difficulty, under federal or state fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, a court may avoid, subordinate or otherwise decline to
enforce its guarantee of the Senior Notes. A court might do so if it is found that when such Guarantor Subsidiary entered into its
36
guarantee of the Senior Notes, or in some states when payments became due under the Senior Notes, such Guarantor Subsidiary
received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:
•
•
•
was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
was left with unreasonably small or otherwise inadequate capital to conduct our business; or
believed or reasonably should have believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay.
The court might also avoid the guarantee of the Senior Notes without regard to the above factors, if the court found that
the Guarantor Subsidiary entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud our creditors.
A court would likely find that a Guarantor Subsidiary did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for
its guarantee of the Senior Notes, if such Guarantor Subsidiary did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the
funding made available by the issuance of the Senior Notes. If a court were to avoid a guarantee of the Senior Notes provided
by a Guarantor Subsidiary, holders of the Senior Notes would no longer have any claim against such Guarantor Subsidiary. The
measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws will vary depending upon the law applied
in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer or conveyance has occurred, such that we cannot predict what
standards a court would use to determine whether or not a Guarantor Subsidiary was solvent at the relevant time or, regardless
of the standard that a court uses, that the guarantee of a Guarantor Subsidiary would not be subordinated to such Guarantor
Subsidiary’s other debt. As noted above, each guarantee provided by a Guarantor Subsidiary includes a provision intended to
limit the Guarantor Subsidiary’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of
obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. This provision may not be effective to protect those
guarantees from being avoided under fraudulent transfer or conveyance law, or it may reduce that Guarantor Subsidiary’s
obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless, and we cannot predict whether a court will ultimately
find it to be effective.
On the basis of historical financial information, operating history and other factors, we believe that each of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries, after giving effect to the issuance of its guarantee of the Senior Notes when such guarantee was issued, was not
insolvent, did not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it engaged and did not and has not incurred debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in
making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Comparable GAAP Measures
Reconciliation of Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Enpro Inc.
We believe that it would be helpful to the readers of the financial statements to understand the impact of certain selected
items on our reported income from continuing operations attributable to Enpro Inc. and diluted earnings per share attributable to
Enpro Inc. continuing operations, including items that may recur from time to time. The items adjusted for in these non-GAAP
financial measures are those that are excluded by management in budgeting or projecting for performance in future periods, as
they typically relate to events specific to the period in which they occur. Accordingly, these are some of the factors the
company uses in internal evaluations of the overall performance of its businesses. In addition, management believes these non-
GAAP financial measures are commonly used financial measures for investors to evaluate the company’s operating
performance and, when read in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements, present a useful tool to
evaluate the company’s ongoing operations and performance from period to period. Management acknowledges that there are
many items that impact a company’s reported results and the adjustments reflected in these non-GAAP financial measures are
not intended to present all items that may have impacted these results. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjustments in the tables above only reflect amounts attributable to Enpro Inc.
1 Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with a portion of the
rollover equity from the acquisitions of LeanTeq and Alluxa that was subject to reduction for certain types of employment
terminations of the LeanTeq and Alluxa sellers and is directly related to the terms of the respective acquisition. We acquired all
of the LeanTeq non-controlling interests in the fourth quarter of 2022 and all of the Alluxa non-controlling interests in the first
quarter of 2024.
2 In connection with the acquisition of Aseptic in 2019, we recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions and a related
indemnification asset for the portion of that liability recoverable from the seller. We determined the statute of limitations
expired on some of the uncertain tax positions in 2021 and 2022 and, accordingly, removed a portion of the liability and
receivable. The release of the related liability was recorded as part of our tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2021
and December 31, 2022 and the reversal of the related receivable was recorded as an expense in other non-operating income
(expense) on our consolidated statement of operations.
3In connection with the sale of GGB, accounted for as a discontinued operation, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we issued
an intercompany note between a domestic and foreign entity that was denominated in a foreign currency. As a result of this
note, we recorded a loss due to the change in exchange rate during December 2022. In January 2023, we hedged the outstanding
notes and expect future gains or losses to be minimal.
39
4 Other adjustments are included in selling, general, and administrative, cost of sales, and other operating expenses on the
consolidated statement of operations.
5Adjusted diluted earnings per share.
The adjusted income tax expense presented above is calculated using a normalized company-wide effective tax rate
excluding discrete items of 25.0% for 2023, 27.0% for 2022, and 30.0% for 2021. Per share amounts were calculated by
dividing by the weighted-average shares of diluted common stock outstanding during the periods.

ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including risks from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through normal operating and financing activities and through the use
of derivative financial instruments. We intend to use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for
speculative investment purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our outstanding debt obligations. The table below provides information
about the maturities of our fixed rate debt obligations as of December 31, 2023. The table represents principal cash flows (in
millions) and related weighted average interest rates by the contractual maturity dates.

Value
The table above excludes unamortized debt discount of $2.1 million at December 31, 2023.
Additionally, we had $299.3 million outstanding on the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023, which has
a variable interest rate that adjusts at least quarterly. A change in interest rates on variable-rate debt affects the interest expense
incurred and cash flows, but does not affect the net balance sheet liability of the financial instrument.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks arising from normal business operations. These risks include the translation of
local currency balances of our foreign subsidiaries, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated
in foreign currencies. Our objective is to control our exposure to these risks and limit the volatility in our reported earnings due
to foreign currency fluctuations through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through foreign currency
forward contracts and option contracts. In December 2022, we entered into a forward contract to hedge a 95 million Euro
exposure of an intercompany note agreement related to the proceeds from the GGB sale allocated to foreign subsidiaries. We
expect this position to be resolved in 2024. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency
transactions was $110.5 million and $103.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. All foreign exchange
contracts outstanding at December 31, 2023 expired in January 2024.
Commodity Risk
We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are
typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials such as steel, engineered plastics, copper and polymers,
are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We strive to pass along such commodity
price increases to customers to avoid profit margin erosion and utilize lean initiatives to further mitigate the impact of
commodity raw material price fluctuations as we achieve improved efficiencies. We do not hedge commodity risk with any
market risk sensitive instruments.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). The purpose of our disclosure controls and procedures is to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, including this report, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the controls evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as
such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief
financial officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this
report. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment, we have concluded, as
of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
42
Management does not expect our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls to prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual
acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system
of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with polices or procedures. Because of
the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that materially affected, or that are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B.
OTHER INFORMATION
During 2023, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or
terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Enpro Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Enpro Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in
shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related
notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included
in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
51
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or
complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Interim and Annual Goodwill Impairment Tests – Alluxa and Semiconductor Reporting Units
As described in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was
$808.4 million as of December 31, 2023, and the goodwill associated with Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting units was $0
and $532.2 million, respectively. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment testing that is conducted at
least annually each calendar year in the fourth quarter. Interim tests during the year may be required if an event occurs or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The
goodwill asset impairment test involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. An impairment
charge is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized would not exceed
the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. In the second quarter of 2023, management determined the lower
than previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of the Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting units was a
triggering event for interim goodwill impairment tests. Management determined the carrying value of the Alluxa reporting unit
exceeded its fair value, and as a result, impaired the remaining $60.8 million of goodwill that was related to the Alluxa
reporting unit. Both the annual and interim impairment tests of goodwill for the Semiconductor reporting unit indicated there
was no impairment of goodwill. To estimate the fair value of the reporting units, management uses both a discounted cash flow
and a market valuation approach. The key assumptions used for the discounted cash flow and market valuation approaches
include projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in working capital, the discount rates, the
tax rates, and market multiples of similar companies.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the interim and annual goodwill
impairment tests of the Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by
management when developing the fair value estimates of the Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting units; (ii) a high degree of
auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions
related to projected revenues and profit margins for the Alluxa reporting unit as of the interim goodwill impairment test,
projected revenues, profit margins, and the discount rate for the Semiconductor reporting unit as of the interim goodwill
impairment test, and projected revenues and profit margins for the Semiconductor reporting unit as of the annual goodwill
impairment test; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our
overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating
to management’s goodwill impairment tests, including controls over the valuation of the Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting
units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of
the Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting units; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow approach used by
management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow approach; and (iv)
evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to projected revenues, profit margins,
and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to projected revenues and profit margins involved
evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of
the Alluxa and Semiconductor reporting units; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the
assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow approach and (ii) the
reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies
Overview
Enpro Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Enpro,” or the “Company”) is a leading-edge industrial technology company focused on
critical applications across a diverse group of growing end markets such as semiconductor, industrial process, commercial
vehicle, sustainable power generation, aerospace, food and pharmaceutical, photonics and life sciences. The Company is a
leader in applied engineering and designs, develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary, value-added products and solutions
that contribute key functionality or safeguard a variety of critical environments.
Over the past several years, we have executed several strategic initiatives to focus the portfolio of businesses where we
offer proprietary, industrial technology-related products and solutions with high barriers to entry, compelling margins, strong
cash flow, and perpetual recurring/aftermarket revenue streams in markets with favorable secular tailwinds.
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the accounts of the Company and our majority-owned and controlled
subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions between our consolidated operations have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities at period end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition – The largest stream of revenue is product revenue for shipments of the various products discussed
further in Note 18, "Business Segment Information," along with a smaller amount of revenue from services that typically take
place over a short period of time. We recognize revenue at a point in time following the transfer of control, which typically
occurs when a product is shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the sale agreement, or when services are rendered.
Shipping costs billed to customers are recognized as revenue and expensed in cost of goods sold as a fulfillment cost when
control of the product transfers to the customer. Payment from customers is typically due within 30 days of the sale for sales in
the U.S. For sales outside of the U.S., payment terms may be longer based upon local business customs, but are typically due
no later than 90 days after the sale.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests – Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable for cash or other
assets outside of our control are classified as mezzanine equity, outside of equity and liabilities, at the greater of the carrying
value or the redemption value. The increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are recorded with corresponding
adjustments against equity and are reflected in the computation of earnings per share. At December 31, 2023, the redeemable
non-controlling interest relates solely to Alluxa.
Foreign Currency Translation – The financial statements of those operations whose functional currency is a foreign
currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, all assets and liabilities are translated
into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates, and income statement activities are translated using average exchange rates. The
foreign currency translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in operating income. Foreign currency
transaction losses (gains) totaled $1.3 million, $(4.8) million, and $1.7 million, respectively, in 2023, 2022, and 2021. In
addition to these transaction losses (gains), we recorded $2.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively, in 2023 and 2022 of foreign
currency transaction losses in other non-operating expense. These losses resulted from an intercompany note between a
domestic and foreign subsidiary, related to the divestiture of discontinued operations, that was denominated in a foreign
currency.
Research and Development Expense – Costs related to research and development activities are expensed as incurred. We
perform research and development primarily under company-funded programs for commercial products. Research and
development expenditures in 2023, 2022, and 2021 were $9.5 million, $10.1 million, and $9.8 million, respectively, and are
included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
59
Income Taxes – We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Temporary differences arising
between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its carrying amount on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are used to calculate
future income tax assets or liabilities. This method also requires the recognition of deferred tax benefits, such as net operating
loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered
likely to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable
income (losses) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment of the
change. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position
will be sustained on its technical merits. If the recognition threshold for the tax position is met, only the portion of the tax
benefit that we believe is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized is recorded. Our future results may include favorable or
unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to closure of income tax examinations, statute expirations, new
regulatory or judicial pronouncements, changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, future tax planning
strategies, or other relevant events.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") provides for a territorial tax system, that includes the global intangible low-
taxed income (“GILTI”) provision beginning in 2018. The GILTI provisions require us to include in our U.S. income tax return
certain current year foreign subsidiary earnings net of foreign tax credits, subject to limitation. We elected to account for the
GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Receivables – Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for
doubtful accounts. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on historical experience and any specific
customer collection issues we have identified. Doubtful accounts receivable are written off when a settlement is reached for an
amount less than the outstanding historical balance or when we have determined the balance will not be collected.
Inventories – Inventories are valued using the first-in, first out ("FIFO") cost method and are recorded at the lower of
cost or net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of plant and
equipment is determined on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings and
improvements, 5 to 25 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 10 years.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value
of the net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment testing that is conducted
at least annually each calendar year in the fourth quarter. Our annual impairment testing for all of our intangible assets is
November 1 of each year.
The goodwill asset impairment test involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. An
impairment charge is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized
would not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Interim tests during the year may be required if
an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its
carrying amount.
To estimate the fair value of our five reporting units, we use both a discounted cash flow and a market valuation
approach. The discounted cash flow approach uses cash flow projections and a discount rate to calculate the fair value of each
reporting unit while the market approach relies on market multiples of similar companies. The key assumptions used for the
discounted cash flow approach include projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in
working capital, and the discount and tax rates. For the market approach, we select a group of peer companies that we believe
are best representative of each reporting unit. We use a 75% weighting for the discounted cash flow valuation approach and a
25% weighting for the market valuation approach, reflecting our belief that the discounted cash flow valuation approach is a
better indicator of a reporting unit's value since it reflects the specific cash flows anticipated to be generated in the future by the
business.
At the time of our annual test as of November 1, 2022, our updated forecast and projections based upon our annual
strategic plan indicated that the Alluxa reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded fair value by $65.2 million which was
recognized as an impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2022. The discount rate to determine the fair value of Alluxa
increased from 12.0% as of November 1, 2021 to 14.6% as of November 1, 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, we determined
the lower than previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of our Alluxa reporting unit to be a triggering
event for an interim goodwill impairment test. We determined the carrying value of our Alluxa reporting unit to exceed its fair
60
value and, as a result, we impaired the remaining $60.8 million of goodwill related to Alluxa. Our Consolidated Balance Sheet
at December 31, 2023 reflects no goodwill related to Alluxa.
The fair value of our semiconductor reporting unit, included in the Advanced Surface Technologies segment, exceeded
carrying value by approximately 20% as of November 1, 2023. The carrying value of the Semiconductor reporting unit as of
December 31, 2023 includes $532.2 million of goodwill. In the second quarter of 2023, we determined the lower than
previously projected actual and forecasted financial performance of our Semiconductor reporting unit to be a triggering event
for an interim goodwill impairment test. We determined the fair value exceeded the carrying value as of June 30, 2023. Our
Semiconductor reporting unit's value increased from our interim test as of June 30, 2023 due to further progression in our
growth initiatives for the reporting unit. We considered the sensitivity of the valuation of our Semiconductor reporting unit to
adverse changes in our projected cash flows under three separate alternative scenarios. First, with a 5% reduction in forecasted
sales used in our valuation model, we estimate the fair value of the Semiconductor reporting unit would exceed its carrying
value by approximately 12%. Second, with a 1% increase in the discount rate as of November 1, 2023 we estimate our fair
value of the Semiconductor reporting unit would exceed its carrying value by approximately 9%. For the third scenario, the
combination of a 1% increase in discount rate and 5% reduction in forecasted sales would result in the fair value of our
Semiconductor reporting unit approximating the carrying value. All annual and interim impairment tests of goodwill for the
Semiconductor reporting unit performed during the 3-years ended December 31, 2023 indicated there was no impairment of
goodwill for the Semiconductor reporting unit.
The fair value of the three reporting units of our Sealing Technologies segment all exceeded their respective carrying
values by more than 75% as of November 1, 2023. Our annual impairment test of the goodwill for the three reporting units of
our Sealing Technologies segment as of November 1, 2022 and 2021 indicated no impairment.
Annual assessments are conducted in the context of information that was reasonably available to us as of the date of the
assessment including our best estimates of future sales volumes and prices, material and labor cost and availability, operational
efficiency including the impact of projected capital asset additions, and the discount rates and tax rates.
Other intangible assets are recorded at cost or, when acquired as a part of a business combination, at estimated fair value.
These assets include customer relationships, patents and other technology-related assets, trademarks, licenses, and non-compete
agreements. Intangible assets that have definite lives are amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the
economic benefits of the assets are consumed or the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 1 to 21 years. Intangible
assets with indefinite lives, which are primarily trade names, are subject to at least annual impairment testing, which were
conducted as of November 1 in 2023, 2022, and 2021. The impairment testing compares the fair value of the intangible asset
with its carrying amount using the relief from royalty method. The testing completed as of November 1, 2023, 2022 and 2021,
indicated no impairment. Interim tests may be required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value below the carrying value or change the useful life of the assets.
Debt – Debt issuance costs associated with our senior secured revolving credit facility are presented as an asset and
subsequently amortized into interest expense ratably over the term of the revolving debt arrangement. Debt issuance costs
associated with any of our other debt instruments that are incremental third-party costs of issuing the debt are recognized as a
reduction in the carrying value of the debt and amortized into interest expense over the time period to maturity using the interest
method.
Derivative Instruments – We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to various risks. The use of
these financial instruments modifies the exposure with the intent of reducing our risk. We do not use financial instruments for
trading purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major
financial institutions. We use multiple financial institutions for derivative contracts to minimize the concentration of credit risk.
The current accounting rules require derivative instruments, excluding certain contracts that are issued and held by a reporting
entity that are both indexed to its own stock and classified in shareholders’ equity, be reported in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets at fair value and that changes in a derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met.
Fair Value Measurements – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date.
We utilize a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three
broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
•
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
61
•
•
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions.
The fair value of intangible assets associated with acquisitions is determined using an income valuation approach.
Projecting discounted future cash flows requires us to make significant estimates regarding projected revenues and profit
margins, projected capital expenditures, changes in working capital, discount rates, attrition rates, royalty rates, obsolescence
rates and tax rates. This non-recurring fair value measurement would be classified as Level 3 due to the absence of quoted
market prices or observable inputs for assets of a similar nature.
We review the carrying amounts of long-lived assets when certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset group is not
recoverable and exceeds its fair value. We estimate the fair values of assets subject to long-lived asset impairment based on our
own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets. In doing so, we use a market
approach when available or an income approach based upon discounted cash flows. The key assumptions used for the
discounted cash flow approach include expected cash flows based on internal business plans, projected growth rates, discount
rates, and royalty rates for certain intangible assets. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3.
Similarly, the fair value computations for the recurring impairment analyses of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets would be classified as Level 3 due to the absence of quoted market prices or observable inputs. The key assumptions
used for the discounted cash flow approach include projected revenues and profit margins, projected capital expenditures,
changes in working capital, discount rates, tax rates and royalty rates for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets. Significant
changes in any of those inputs could result in a significantly different fair value measurement.
Pension Benefits - Amortization of the net gain or loss resulting from experience different from that assumed and from
changes in assumptions is included as a component of benefit cost. If, as of the beginning of the year, that net gain or loss
exceeds 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets, the amortization is that
excess divided by the average remaining service period of participating employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
We amortize prior service cost using the straight-line basis over the average future service life of active participants.
For segment reporting purposes, we allocate service cost to each location generating those costs. All other components of
net periodic pension cost are reported in other (non-operating) expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In November 2023, an accounting standards update was issued that improves reportable segment disclosures surrounding
significant segment expenses. The amendments in this guidance are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early
adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the new guidance.
In December 2023, an accounting standards update was issued that will require changes in income tax disclosures. The
standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption
permitted. The standard requires prospective adoption with the understanding that there will be a lack of comparability between
reporting periods. Alternatively, retrospective adoption is also permitted. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and do
not expect it to have a significant impact to our income tax disclosure.
2. Acquisitions
On December 17, 2021, our subsidiary, EnPro Holdings, Inc. ("EnPro Holdings"), completed the acquisition of all issued
and outstanding membership interests of TCFII NxEdge LLC (“NxEdge”). Based in Boise, Idaho, NxEdge serves customers
across the semiconductor supply chain, including top tier global integrated device manufacturers and original equipment
manufacturers from six main facilities located in Idaho and California. With vertically integrated capabilities across the
semiconductor value chain, including a robust aftermarket business, NxEdge is a leading supplier offering a set of integrated
capabilities with unique processes resulting in a broad range of qualifications at top customers. NxEdge is included in our
Advanced Surface Technologies segment.
The acquisition was paid for with $853.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired. We funded the payment with available
cash on hand, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and borrowings under new term loan facilities. Additionally, there
were $15.0 million of acquisition-related costs recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, which were expensed when
62
incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the year then ended.
On October 26, 2020, a subsidiary of Enpro formed for this purpose (the "Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary") acquired all of
the equity securities of Alluxa, Inc. ("Alluxa"), a privately held, California-based company. Alluxa is an industrial technology
company that provides specialized optical filters and thin-film coatings for the most challenging applications in the industrial
technology, life sciences, and semiconductor markets. Alluxa's products are developed through a proprietary coating process
using state-of-the-art advanced equipment. Alluxa is included in our Advanced Surface Technologies segment.
Alluxa works in collaboration with customers across major end markets to provide customized, complex precision coating
solutions through its specialized technology platform and proprietary processes. Alluxa has cultivated long-standing customer
relationships across its diversified customer base. Alluxa’s global distribution capabilities support the company’s international
reach, serving customers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 2007, Alluxa has two locations in California and is
headquartered in Santa Rosa, California.
In connection with the completion of the transaction, we entered into a limited liability operating agreement (the “Alluxa
LLC Agreement”) with respect to the “Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary” in connection with the rollover transaction with the
Alluxa Executives receiving approximately 7% of the equity interests of the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary in return for their
contribution of the rollover shares of Alluxa. Pursuant to the Alluxa LLC Agreement, each Alluxa Executive has the right to
sell to us, and we have the right to purchase from each Alluxa Executive (collectively, the “Put and Call Rights”), one-third of
the Alluxa Executive equity interests in the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary during each of three exercise periods in 2024, 2025
and 2026, with any amount not sold or purchased in a prior exercise period being carried forward to the subsequent exercise
periods (although for one Alluxa Executive who transitioned to a consulting role on January 1, 2023, the full amount of his
equity interests are subject to the Company’s right to purchase on June 30, 2024, with two-thirds of the equity interests
purchasable at the fixed value of the equity interests as set forth in the Alluxa LLC Agreement). The Alluxa LLC Agreement
also provides for the purchase by us of all of an Alluxa Executive's equity interests in the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary in
connection with the termination of employment of the Alluxa Executive under specified circumstances, with payments in
certain circumstances to be made in annual installments. In certain cases involving the termination of an Alluxa Executive's
employment, the consideration payable to an Alluxa Executive for the purchase of his equity interests is equal to the fixed value
set forth in the Alluxa LLC Agreement (an aggregate of $17.85 million for all of the Alluxa Executives). In all other cases,
including upon any exercise of the Alluxa Put and Call Rights, the consideration payable under the Alluxa LLC Agreement in
connection with any such purchase by us of an Alluxa Executive's equity interests in the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary is equal
to the greater of the fixed value of the equity interests as set forth in the Alluxa LLC Agreement or a price based upon a
multiple of twelve-month adjusted EBITDA based upon certain financial metrics of the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary, plus
cash and less indebtedness of the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary prior to the relevant payment, and subject to certain
adjustments dependent upon the circumstances of the purchase and sale.
On September 25, 2019, we acquired all of the equity securities of LeanTeq Co., Ltd. and its affiliate LeanTeq LLC
(collectively referred to as “LeanTeq”). LeanTeq primarily provides refurbishment services for critical components and
assemblies used in state-of-the-art semiconductor equipment. This equipment is used to produce the latest and most
technologically advanced microchips for smartphones, autonomous vehicles, high-speed wireless connectivity, artificial
intelligence, and other leading-edge applications. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, LeanTeq has
two locations in Taiwan and one in the United States (Silicon Valley). LeanTeq is included within the Advanced Surface
Technologies segment.
A limited liability company agreement (the "LeanTeq LLC Agreement") entered into with respect to Lunar as part of the
LeanTeq acquisition, provided Enpro with the right to buy from each LeanTeq Executive (each a LeanTeq "Call Option”), and
each LeanTeq Executive with the right to sell to Enpro (the "Put Option") such LeanTeq Executive's Rollover Equity as
follows:
Enpro had the right to buy, and the LeanTeq Executive had the right to sell, such Rollover Equity within 90 days
following the third anniversary of the closing and payable in two installments as follows (the "Put/Call Price"):
• Half of the price payable for the Rollover Equity is to be equal to a pro rata portion of a multiple of EBITDA (as
defined) of Lunar (on a consolidated basis) during the last 12 months (“LTM”) ending on the closest month end prior
to the last month end before the purchase or sale (the "First Measurement Date") less Lunar's consolidated net debt in
excess of cash as of the First Measurement Date (the "First Exercise Price"). The applicable multiple depends on the
future LTM EBITDA margin and revenue growth;
• The remaining half of the price payable for the Rollover Equity is to be equal to an amount that is the higher of the
First Exercise Price and a pro rata portion of a multiple of EBITDA of Lunar (on a consolidated basis) during the
63
LTM prior to the first anniversary of the First Measurement Date (the "Second Measurement Date") less Lunar's
consolidated net debt in excess of cash as of the Second Measurement Date. The applicable multiple depends on the
future LTM EBITDA margin and revenue growth.
• During the fourth quarter of 2022, Enpro acquired all the equity securities of Lunar owned by the LeanTeq
Executives and became the sole owner of LeanTeq. As a result of this purchase transaction, $35.0 million of our
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests was reclassified as a liability. We entered into a subsequent agreement with
the LeanTeq Executives where we agreed to pay the full Put/Call Price calculated at the First Measurement Date and
paid $41.9 million in December 2022, which was the minimum purchase price for these equity securities, of which
$7.8 million eliminated our outstanding deferred compensation liability and $34.1 million reduced the liability
attributable to the redeemable non-controlling interest acquisition. We anticipate an additional $1.1 million payment
in the first quarter of 2024 based on Put/Call Price determined at the Second Measurement Date, which was subject to
the financial performance of LeanTeq through November 2023. We have recorded this anticipated $1.1 million
payment as a liability included in accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
The fair value of the Alluxa Executives' equity interests and the LeanTeq Executives' Rollover Equity was estimated as of
the closing date of those transactions. Due to the presence of the put arrangements and thus that redemption is not solely within
our control, the Alluxa Executives' equity interests are, and, prior to December 2022, the LeanTeq Executives' Rollover Equity
had been, presented as redeemable non-controlling interests. We initially recognized the amount at fair value, inclusive of the
put-call provisions. We adjust the redeemable non-controlling interests when the redemption value exceeds the carrying value
with changes recognized as an adjustment to equity.
Sales of $8.6 million and a pre-tax loss of $1.9 million for NxEdge are included in our Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial results
of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented as if these acquisitions had been completed before
January 1, 2021:

These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of NxEdge to reflect
the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to inventory,
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied prior to January 1, 2021 as well as additional interest
expense to reflect financing required, together with the corresponding tax effects. The supplemental pro forma net income for
the year ended December 31, 2021 was adjusted to exclude $15.0 million of pre-tax acquisition-related costs. These pro forma
financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not reflect the effect of synergies that would have
been expected to result from the integration of these acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of
the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred prior to January 1, 2021, or of future
results of the consolidated entities.
3. Other Income (Expense)
Operating
We incurred $5.0 million, $3.0 million and $2.5 million of restructuring and impairment costs, excluding goodwill
impairment, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 1, "Overview, Basis of
Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies" for information related to goodwill impairment charges incurred in 2023 and
2022.
Of the restructuring and impairment costs incurred in 2023 and 2022, we incurred $4.3 million and $1.8 million,
respectively, of restructuring costs related to the reorganization of sites and functions, primarily in the United States
and$0.7 millionand $1.2 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges of long-lived assets.
During 2021, we conducted a number of restructuring activities throughout our operations which mostly comprised of
targeted workforce reductions. All costs associated with such initiatives were incurred in 2021.

and $(0.1) million of other costs, respectively.
Non-Operating
During 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded expense of $2.9 million, $5.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, due to
environmental reserve increases based on additional information at several specific sites and other ongoing obligations of
previously owned businesses. Refer to Note 19, "Commitments and Contingencies - Environmental," for additional information
about our environmental liabilities.
We report the service cost component of pension and other postretirement benefits expense in operating income in the
same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the
period. The other components of net benefit cost are presented in other income (expense). For the years ended December 31,
2023, 2022, 2021, we reported approximately $1.5 million of expense and $3.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively, of
income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the components of net benefit cost other than service cost.
Refer to Note 14, "Pension," for additional information regarding net benefit costs.
In connection with the sale of GGB, accounted for as a discontinued operation, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we issued a
note between a domestic and foreign entity that was denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, we recorded a $3.8 million
loss due to the change in exchange rate in December 2022. In January 2023, we hedged the outstanding notes to minimize
future gains and losses. In 2023, we recorded a $2.2 million loss due to the change in exchange rate.
In 2022, we evaluated our outstanding long-term receivable related to anticipated receipts from legacy asbestos insurance
claims and adjusted the receivable down by $2.8 million.
In connection with the acquisition of Aseptic in 2019, we recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions and a related
indemnification asset for the portion of that liability recoverable from the seller. We determined the statute of limitations
expired on some of the uncertain tax positions in 2022 and 2021 and, accordingly, removed a portion of the liability and
receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the release of the related liability was recorded as part of our tax
expense and we recorded a $0.9 million and $3.0 million expense, respectively, related to the reversal of the receivable in other
non-operating income (expense) on our consolidated statement of operations.
In 2021, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $17.5 million primarily related to the sale of our polymer components business
unit, which was principally located in Houston, Texas and included in our Sealing Technologies segment. Sales reported for
this business included in our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $21.4 million.
For a further discussion on businesses disposed of, see Note 20, "Discontinued Operations and Dispositions."
Additional costs included in other non-operating primarily are attributable to costs associated with previously divested
businesses.

At December 31, 2023, we had $0.9 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, of which $0.4 million expire at
various dates from 2038 through 2040 if unused, and $0.5 million have an indefinite carryforward period. We also have federal
and state tax credit carryforwards of $3.4 million which expire at varying dates between 2027 and 2039 as well as state net
operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect of $1.5 million which expire at various dates from 2024 through 2042. These net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be used to offset a portion of future tax liability and thereby reduce or eliminate
our federal, state or foreign income taxes otherwise payable.
Because of the transition tax, GILTI, and Subpart F provisions, undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries totaling
$251.0 million at December 31, 2022 have been subjected to U.S. income tax or are eligible for the 100 percent dividends-
received deduction under Section 245A of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") provided in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Additionally, undistributed earnings are estimated to be $179.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Whether through the
application of the 100-percent dividends received deduction, or distribution of these previously-taxed earnings, we do not
intend to distribute foreign earnings that will be subject to any significant incremental U.S. or foreign tax. During 2023, we
repatriated $72.6 million of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, resulting in only $0.4 million of withholding taxes net of
67
refunds to be received. We have determined that estimating any tax liability on our investment in foreign subsidiaries is not
practicable. Therefore, we have not recorded any deferred tax liability on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
We determined, based on the available evidence, that it is uncertain whether certain entities in various jurisdictions will
generate sufficient future taxable income to recognize certain of these deferred tax assets. As a result, valuation allowances of
$2.7 million and $10.7 million have been recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Valuation allowances
recorded relate to certain state and foreign net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets in jurisdictions where future
taxable income is uncertain. In addition, $1.8 million and $2.0 million of the valuation allowance recorded as of December 31,
2023 and 2022, respectively, relate to general foreign tax credit carryforwards, due to uncertainty around the ability to generate
the requisite foreign source income to utilize that portion of the foreign tax credits. Valuation allowances may arise associated
with deferred tax assets recorded in acquisition accounting. In accordance with applicable accounting guidelines, any reversal
of a valuation allowance that was recorded in acquisition accounting reduces income tax expense.
The effective income tax rate from continuing operations varied from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:
Statutory federal income tax rate
U.S. taxation of foreign profits, net of foreign tax credits
Research and employment tax credits
State and local taxes
Foreign tax rate differences

The effective tax rate for 2023 was primarily driven impairment of non-deductible goodwill, the foreign rate differential
related to certain foreign earnings that were subject to higher tax rates, and releasing valuation allowances on certain tax
attributes. The effect of these items resulted in a net $21.6 million increase in income tax expense.
The GILTI provisions require us to include in our U.S. income tax returns certain current foreign subsidiary earnings net
of foreign tax credits, subject to limitation. We elected to account for the GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred. As a
result of these provisions, our effective tax rate was increased by 4.4% due to GILTI.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $5.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax
benefits. Of the gross unrecognized tax benefit balances as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $4.1 million and $4.1 million,
respectively, would have an impact on our effective tax rate if ultimately recognized.
We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. In addition to the gross
unrecognized tax benefits above, we had $1.4 million and $1.2 million accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense includes $0.2 million, $(0.2) million and $(1.7) million for the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

U.S. federal income tax returns for tax years 2020 and forward remain open to examination. We and our subsidiaries are
also subject to income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all significant state, local and foreign
income tax returns for the years 2019 and forward are open to examination. Various state and foreign tax returns are currently
under examination. We expect that some of these examinations may conclude within the next twelve months, however, the final
outcomes are not yet determinable. In addition, gross unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by $2.8 million within the next
twelve months as the applicable statute of limitation expire.
5. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income by the applicable weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares of
common stock as adjusted for any potentially dilutive shares as of the balance sheet date. The computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share for calendar years 2023, 2022, and 2021 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

We regularly enter into operating leases primarily for real estate, equipment, and vehicles. Operating lease arrangements
are generally utilized to secure the use of assets if the terms and conditions of the lease or the nature of the asset makes the lease
arrangement more favorable than a purchase. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance
sheet. We have elected an accounting policy to combine lease and non-lease components.
Our building leases have remaining terms up to ten years, some of which contain options to renew up to five years, and
some of which contain options to terminate. Some leases contain non-lease components, which may include items such as
building common area maintenance, building parking, or general service and maintenance provided for leased assets by the
lessor. Our vehicle, equipment, and other leases have remaining lease terms up to five years, some of which contain options to
renew or become evergreen leases, with automatic renewing one-month terms, and some of which have options to terminate.
Our right of use assets and liabilities related to operating leases as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as

Approximately 96% of the dollar value of our operating lease assets and liabilities arise from real estate leases and
approximately 4% arise from equipment and vehicle leases as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, approximately
98% of the dollar value of our operating lease assets and liabilities arise from real estate leases and approximately 2% arise
from equipment and vehicle leases.
We entered into additional operating leases, including leases acquired through business acquisitions, and renewed
existing leases that resulted in new right-of-use assets totaling $12.3 million, $5.7 million, and $30.0 million for the years ended
December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate for calculating the right of use assets and corresponding lease
liabilities. Accordingly, we determine the interest rate that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a
similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in similar economic environments.
Our lease costs and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

On December 17, 2021, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit
Agreement”) among the Company and EnPro Holdings, as borrowers, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company from time to
time party thereto, as designated borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. The Amended Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2018, as amended, among the Company and EnPro
Holdings as borrowers, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative
Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for credit facilities in the initial aggregate principal amount of $1,007.5 million,
consisting of a five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $400.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $142.5
million senior secured term loan facility in replacement of the our existing senior secured term loan facility, maturing
September 25, 2024 (the “Term Loan A-1 Facility”), a five-year, senior secured term loan facility of $315.0 million (the “Term
Loan A-2 Facility”) and a 364-day, senior secured term loan facility of $150.0 million (the “364-Day Facility” and together
with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan A-1 Facility and the Term Loan A-2 Facility, the “Facilities”). The
Amended Credit Agreement also provides that we may seek incremental term loans and/or additional revolving credit
commitments in an amount equal to the greater of $275.0 million and 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recently
ended four-quarter period for which we have reported financial results, plus additional amounts based on a consolidated senior
secured leverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement became effective on December 17, 2021.
Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% or base rate plus 0.50%.
Initially, borrowings under the Facilities (other than the 364-Day Facility) bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%
or base rate plus 0.75%, although these interest rates were subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a consolidated
total net leverage ratio. On November 8, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which
73
replaced the LIBOR-based interest rate option with an option based on Term SOFR ("Secured Overnight Financing Rate") plus
(i) a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (ii) 1.75%, again subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a
consolidated total net leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolving
Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.225%, which rate is also subject to incremental increase or decrease based on a
consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The Term Loan A-1 Facility amortized on a quarterly basis in an annual amount equal to 2.50% of the original principal
amount of the Term Loan A-1 Facility ($150.0 million) in year one after the closing, 5.00% of such original principal amount in
year two and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of year three, with the remaining
outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The Term Loan A-2 Facility amortizes on a quarterly basis in an annual
amount equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-2 Facility in each of years one through three, 5.0%
of such original principal amount in year four and 1.25% of such original principal amount in each of the first three quarters of
year five, with the remaining outstanding principal amount payable at maturity. The 364-Day Facility did not amortize and was
repaid in full in the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Facilities are subject to prepayment with the net cash proceeds of
certain asset sales, casualty or condemnation events and non-permitted debt issuances.
The Company and EnPro Holdings are the permitted borrowers under the Facilities. The Company may also from time to
time designate any of its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries as a borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. Each of the
Company’s domestic subsidiaries (other than any subsidiaries that may be designated as “unrestricted” by the Company from
time to time, and inactive subsidiaries) is required to guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Facilities, and each of
the Company’s existing domestic subsidiaries (other than inactive subsidiaries) has entered into the Amended Credit Agreement
to provide such a guarantee.
Borrowings under the Facilities are secured by a first-priority pledge of certain assets. The Amended Credit Agreement
contains certain financial covenants and required financial ratios including a maximum consolidated total net leverage and a
minimum consolidated interest coverage as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all
covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023.
On July 21, 2023, we entered into a waiver agreement under the Amended Credit Agreement that waived the requirement
to prepay the Facilities with remaining excess net cash proceeds related to the sale of GGB and GPT that had not been
reinvested in operating assets within 365 days from the date of the sale. In conjunction with this waiver, on July 26, 2023,
EnPro voluntarily prepaid all outstanding borrowings and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan A-1 Facility (a
remaining principal balance of $133.1 million and accrued interest of $0.6 million).
The indenture governing the Senior Notes requires us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the event that the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales are
not reinvested in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise reduce specified indebtedness within a
specified period, to the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount. After taking into account the repayment
of borrowings under the Term Loan A-1 Facility noted above, forecasted capital expenditures, and other applicable
expenditures, we expect to meet all reinvestment requirements under the indenture related to the excess net cash proceeds from
the sales of GGB and GPT.
The borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2023 was $390.0 million after giving
consideration to $10.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. The balance of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan A-2
Facility at December 31, 2023 was $299.3 million.
Senior Notes
On October 17, 2018, we completed the offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Notes due
2026 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued to investors at 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Senior
Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Enpro and mature on October 15, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes
accrues at a rate of 5.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The Senior Notes are required to be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of Enpro’s existing and future direct and
indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower under, or guarantees, our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility or
guarantees any other Capital Markets Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes) of Enpro or any of
the guarantors. We may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at specified redemption prices
plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes includes covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain activities,
including incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends and repurchasing shares of our common stock, subject in each
case to specified exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture. The indenture further requires us to offer to repurchase
74
the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the event that
the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales are not reinvested in acquisitions, capital expenditures, or used to repay or otherwise
reduce specified indebtedness within a specified period, to the extent the remaining net proceeds exceed a specified amount.
We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the indenture governing the Senior Notes as of December 31,
2023.

The payments for long-term debt shown in the table above reflect the contractual principal amount for the Senior Notes
and Term Loan A-2 Facility. In the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, these amounts are shown net of
unamortized debt discounts aggregating $3.3 million pursuant to applicable accounting rules.
Debt Issuance Costs
During 2021, we capitalized $4.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement. At
December 31, 2023, the remaining unamortized balance of these costs was $2.3 million.
12. Derivatives and Hedging
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include the translation
of local currency balances on our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and
transactions denominated in foreign currencies. We strive to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating
activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. We periodically enter into contracts to hedge forecasted
transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. Since December 2022, we have entered into monthly forward contracts
to hedge a 95 million Euro exposure on an intercompany note agreement related to proceeds from the GGB sale allocated to
foreign subsidiaries. We expect this position to be resolved in 2024. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts was
$110.5 million and $103.3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. All foreign exchange contracts outstanding at
December 31, 2023 expired in January of 2024.
The foreign exchange contracts were recorded at their fair market value as of December 31, 2023 with changes in market
value recorded in income. The earnings impact of any foreign exchange contract that is specifically related to the purchase of
inventory is recorded in cost of sales and the changes in market value of all other contracts are recorded in selling, general and
administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with the exception of our monthly forward contracts to
hedge our Euro exposure which are recorded in other expense. The balances of foreign exchange derivative assets are recorded
in other current assets and the balances of foreign exchange derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In September 2018, we entered into cross currency swap agreements (the "Swap") with a notional amount of $200.0
million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest payments related to our then
outstanding fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to interest
payments on fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 172.8 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 2.8%, with
interest payment dates of March 15 and September 15 of each year.
The Swap matured on September 15, 2022. At settlement, we received $30.8 million in cash, of which $27.4 million
represented the fair value of the contracts as of the settlement date and $3.4 million represented interest receivable. Realized
gains totaling $20.8 million, net of tax, as of the maturity date are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
75
In May 2019, we entered into additional cross currency swap agreements (the "Additional Swap") with a notional amount
of $100.0 million to manage an increased portion of our foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of the interest
payments related to our fixed-rate USD-denominated Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to
interest payments on the fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt of 89.6 million EUR with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5%,
with interest payment dates of April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Additional Swap agreement matures on October 15,
2026.
During the term of the Additional Swap agreement, we will receive semi-annual payments from the counterparties due to
the difference between the interest rate on the Senior Notes and the interest rate on the Euro debt underlying the Additional
Swap. There was no principal exchange at the inception of the arrangement, and there will be no exchange at maturity. At
maturity (or earlier at our option), we and the counterparty will settle the Additional Swap agreement at its fair value in cash
based on the aggregate notional amount and the then-applicable currency exchange rate compared to the exchange rate at the
time the Additional Swap agreement was entered into.
We have designated the Additional Swap as a qualifying hedging instrument and are accounting for it as a net investment
hedge. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Additional Swap equaled $3.1 million and was recorded within our other
(non-current) assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustment to the
Additional Swap agreement, excluding interest accruals related to the above receipts, are recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income within our cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, as the Additional Swap is effective in
hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to the Additional Swap are included in operating activities in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows, aside from the ultimate settlement at maturity with the counterparty, which will be included in
investing activities.

14. Pension
We have non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees in the United States, Mexico,
Taiwan and several European countries. Salaried employees’ benefit payments are generally determined using a formula that is
based on an employee’s compensation and length of service. We closed our defined benefit pension plan for new salaried
76
employees in the United States who joined the Company after January 1, 2006, and, effective January 1, 2007, benefits were
frozen for all salaried employees who were not age 40 or older as of December 31, 2006 and benefits for all remaining eligible
salaried employees were frozen as of January 1, 2021. Benefits for hourly employees in the United States were frozen as of
January 1, 2024.
Certain of our employees also participate in voluntary contributory retirement savings plans for salaried and hourly
employees maintained by us. Under these plans, eligible employees can receive matching contributions up to the first 6% of
their eligible earnings. Certain employees hired prior to August 1st, 2016 are eligible to receive an additional 2% company
contribution each year. We recorded $9.5 million, $8.6 million and $8.3 million in expenses in 2023, 2022 and 2021,
respectively, for matching contributions under these plans.
Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans historically has been to contribute amounts that are
at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. In 2023, we contributed $5.5 million, in cash, to our U.S. pension
plans. No contributions were made in 2022 or 2021. The contribution was made in 2023 in order to meet a funding level
sufficient to avoid variable fees from the PBGC on the underfunded portion of our pension liability. We do not anticipate
making contributions in 2024 to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans and we expect to make total contributions of
approximately $1.0 million in 2024 to the foreign pension plans.
The projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the defined benefit pension plans with projected benefit
obligations in excess of plan assets were $7.7 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2023, and $6.1 million and $0.2 million
at December 31, 2022, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the defined benefit
pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $5.3 million and $0.2 million at December 31,
2023, and $4.3 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2022, respectively.
The following table sets forth the changes in projected benefit obligations and plan assets of our defined benefit pension
and other non-qualified and postretirement plans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year.
The discount rate was determined with a model that uses a theoretical portfolio of high quality corporate bonds specifically
selected to produce cash flows closely related to how we would settle our retirement obligations. This produced a discount rate
of 5.1% at December 31, 2023. As of the date of these financial statements, there are no known or anticipated changes in our
discount rate assumption that will impact our pension expense in 2024. A 25 basis point decrease in our discount rate, holding
constant our expected long-term return on plan assets and other assumptions, would increase pension expense by approximately
$0.2 million per year.
The overall expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined based upon weighted-average historical returns
over an extended period of time for the asset classes in which the plans invest according to our current investment policy.
We use the Pri-2012 base mortality table with the MP-2021 projection scale to value our domestic pension liabilities.
Plan Assets
The asset allocation for pension plans at the end of 2023 and 2022, and the targeted allocation for 2024, by asset category
are as follows:

Our investment goal is to maximize the return on assets, over the long term, by investing in equities and fixed income
investments while diversifying investments within each asset class to reduce the impact of losses in individual securities. Equity
investments include a mix of U.S. large capitalization equities, U.S. small capitalization equities and non-U.S. equities. Fixed
income investments include a mix of treasury obligations and high-quality corporate bonds. The asset allocation policy is
reviewed and any significant variation from the target asset allocation mix is rebalanced periodically. The plans have no direct
investments in Enpro common stock.
The plans invest exclusively in mutual funds whose holdings are marketable securities traded on recognized markets and,
as a result, would be considered Level 1 assets. The investment portfolios of the various funds at December 31, 2023 and 2022
are summarized as follows:
Mutual funds – U.S. equity
Mutual funds – international equity
Mutual funds - fixed income treasury and corporate bonds

Other Post-Employment Retirement Benefits
We have liabilities related to other post-employment retirement benefits that were offered to certain employees of several
legacy businesses owned by Enpro's predecessor as well as certain continuing operations. New employees are not offered these
benefits and nearly all employees who were offered these benefits are retired. Disclosures related to these benefits are not
included in the discussion and tables above. At December 31, 2023, we had $5.5 million of liabilities related to these benefits of
which $1.8 million is a current liability.
15. Shareholders' Equity
We have a policy under which we intend to declare regular quarterly cash dividends on our common stock, as
determined by our board of directors, after taking into account our cash flows, earnings, financial position and other relevant
matters. In accordance with this policy, total dividend payments of $24.3 million, $23.4 million, and $22.4 million were made
during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
On February 15, 2024 we announced that our board of directors had increased the quarterly dividend to $0.30 per share,
commencing with the dividend to be paid on March 20, 2024 to all shareholders of record as of March 6, 2024.
In October 2022, our board of directors renewed their authorization for a new two-year program of up to $50.0 million
for the repurchase of our outstanding common shares. We have not made any repurchases for the 3-year period ended
December 31, 2023.
The shares for all repurchase plans are retired upon purchase.

17. Equity Compensation Plans
We have equity compensation plans (the “Plans”) that provide for the delivery of shares pursuant to various market and
performance-based incentive awards. As of December 31, 2023, there are 1.3 million shares available for future awards. Our
policy is to issue new shares to satisfy share delivery obligations for awards made under the Plans.
The Plans permit awards of restricted share units to be granted to executives and other key employees. Generally, share
units awarded vest in equal annual increments over three years. Compensation expense related to the restricted share units is
based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of the grant and is amortized over the applicable
vesting period using the straight-line method. As of December 31, 2023, there was $5.5 million of unrecognized compensation
cost related to restricted share units expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining amortization period of 1.7
years.
Under the terms of the Plans, performance share awards were granted to executives and other key employees during
2023, 2022 and 2021. Each grant will vest if Enpro achieves specific financial objectives at the end of each three-year
performance period. Additional amounts under these awards are paid out if objectives are exceeded, but some or all the awards
may be forfeited if objectives are not met.
Performance shares earned at the end of a performance period, if any, for shares issued in 2023 will be paid in actual
shares of our common stock, less the number of shares equal in value to applicable withholding taxes if the employee chooses.
Performance shares earned at the end of a performance period for awards granted in 2022, if any, and 2021 will be paid in cash,
less applicable withholding taxes if the employee chooses. Awards are forfeited if a grantee terminates employment, during the
performance period, except in the case of retirement.
Compensation expense related to performance share awards payable in stock granted in 2023 is computed using the fair
value of the awards at the date of grant. Potential shares to be issued for performance share awards granted in 2023 are subject
to a market condition based on the performance of our stock, measured based upon a calculation of total shareholder return,
compared to a group of peer companies. The fair value of these awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation
methodology. Compensation expense for these awards was computed based upon this grant date fair value using the straight-
line method over the applicable performance period.
82
Compensation expense related to the performance share awards payable in cash granted in 2022 and 2021 is computed
using the fair value of the awards as of December 31, 2023. The fair value of these awards was determined using a Monte Carlo
simulation methodology. Compensation issued for performance share awards is subject to a market conditions based on the
performance of our stock, measured based upon a calculation of total shareholder return, compared to a group of peer
companies. Compensation expense for these awards is computed based upon the calculated fair value at the end of the period
using the straight-line method over the applicable performance period. The shares will be remeasured and compensation
expense will be adjusted based on the current market-based estimate.
The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market
condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each award. We issued performance share awards to eligible
participants on February 16, 2023, February 15, 2022 and February 16, 2021. We used the following assumptions in
determining the fair value of these awards:
Shares granted February 16, 2023
Enpro Inc.
S&P 600 Capital Goods Index
Shares granted February 15, 2022
Enpro Inc.

The expected volatility assumption for us and each member of the peer group is based on each entity’s historical stock
price volatility over a period equal to the length from the valuation date to the end of the performance cycle. The annual
expected dividend yield is based on annual expected dividend payments and the stock price on the date of grant. The risk free
rate equals the yield, as of the valuation date, on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury STRIPS that have a remaining term equal to the
length of the remaining performance cycle.
As of December 31, 2023 there was $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance
share awards to be paid in cash and $2.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share
awards to be settled in shares of common stock. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting
period of 1.6 years.

The maximum potential number of shares to be issued at December 31, 2023 is represented by the restricted share units
nonvested balance at December 31, 2023. The number of nonvested performance share awards shown in the table above
83
represents the maximum potential shares to be issued. We account for forfeitures when they occur as opposed to estimating the
number of awards that are expected to vest as of the grant date.
During the first quarter of calendar 2021 and 2022, the Company granted Performance Shares to certain key employees
which are payable in cash after a three-year vesting period. Actual payments to be made to participating employees are based on
an initial target amount, which is adjusted based on the relative three-year performance of Enpro’s share price versus a set of
peer companies. Expense related to each grant is recognized on a straight-line basis utilizing the best current estimate of the
grant value at maturity. Expense recognized for calendar 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $9.1 million, $7.8 million, and $6.9 million,
respectively. The total liability related to this Performance Share cash plan was $18.0 million at December 31, 2023, of which
$12.4 million is classified as current.
Non-qualified and incentive stock options were granted in 2021, 2022, and 2023. No stock option has a term exceeding
10 years from the date of grant. All stock options were granted at not less than 100% of fair market value (as defined) on the
date of grant. As of December 31, 2023, there was $2.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options.

We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Key inputs into this formula
include expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. We use the closing stock
price on the grant date for determining the fair value. This fair value is amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period.
All options issued vest in equal annual increments over three years with the exception of options granted on November 26,
2021 that vest equally at the end of one quarter years, one and one quarter years, and two and one quarter years.
The expected term represents the period that our stock options are expected to be outstanding, and is determined based on
historical experience of similar awards, given the contractual terms of the awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future
employee behavior. The fair value of stock options reflects a volatility factor calculated using historical market data for Enpro's
common stock. The dividend assumption is based on our current expectations for our dividend policy. We base the risk-free
interest rate on the yield to maturity at the time of the stock option grant on zero-coupon U.S. government bonds having a
remaining life equal to the option's expected life. When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination behaviors as
well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.

Each non-employee director received an annual grant of common stock (or, at the directors' election, phantom shares)
equal in value to $110,000 in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. With respect to certain phantom shares
awarded in prior years, we will pay each non-employee director in cash the fair market value of the director's phantom shares
upon termination of service as a member of the board of directors. The remaining phantom shares granted will be paid out in
the form of one share of our common stock for each phantom share, with the value of any fractional phantom shares paid in
cash. Expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 related to these share and phantom share
grants was $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. No cash payments were used to settle phantom shares in
2023, 2022 or 2021.
18. Business Segment Information
We aggregate our operating businesses into two reportable segments, Sealing Technologies and Advanced Surface
Technologies. Factors considered in determining our reportable segments include the economic similarity of the businesses, the
nature of products sold, or solutions provided, the production processes and the types of customers and distribution methods.
Our Sealing Technologies segment engineers and manufactures value-added products and solutions that safeguard a
variety of critical environments, including: metallic, non-metallic and composite material gaskets; dynamic seals; compression
packing; elastomeric components; custom-engineered mechanical seals used in diverse applications; hydraulic components;
test, measurement and sensing applications; sanitary gaskets; hoses and fittings for hygienic process industries; fluid transfer
products for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries; and commercial vehicle solutions used in wheel-end and
suspension components that customers rely upon to ensure safety on our roadways.
These products are used in a variety of markets, including chemical and petrochemical processing, nuclear energy,
hydrogen, natural gas, food and biopharmaceutical processing, primary metal manufacturing, mining, water and waste
treatment, commercial vehicle, aerospace (including commercial space), medical, filtration and semiconductor fabrication. In
all these industries, the performance and durability of our proprietary products and solutions are vital for the safety and
environmental protection of our customers’ processes. Many of our products and solutions are used in highly demanding
applications, often in harsh environments, where the cost of failure is extremely high relative to the cost of our offerings to our
customers. These environments include those where extreme temperatures, extreme pressures, corrosive agents, strict
tolerances, or worn equipment create challenges for product performance. Sealing Technologies offers customers widely
recognized applied engineering, innovation, process know- how and enduring reliability, driving a lasting aftermarket for many
of our products and solutions.
Our Advanced Surface Technologies (AST) segment applies proprietary technologies, processes, and capabilities to
deliver a highly differentiated suite of products and solutions for challenging applications in high-growth markets. The
segment’s products and solutions are used in demanding environments requiring performance, precision and repeatability, with
a low tolerance for failure. AST’s products and solutions include: (i) cleaning, coating, testing, refurbishment and verification
for critical components and assemblies used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, with meaningful exposures to state-of-
the-art advanced node chip applications; (ii) designing, manufacturing and selling specialized optical filters and proprietary
thin-film coatings for the most challenging applications in the industrial technology, life sciences, and semiconductor markets;
(iii) engineering and manufacturing complex front-end wafer processing sub-systems and new and refurbished electrostatic
chuck pedestals for the semiconductor equipment industry; and (iv) engineering and manufacturing edge-welded metal bellows
for the semiconductor equipment industry and critical applications in the space, aerospace and defense markets. In many
instances, AST capabilities drive products and solutions that enable the performance of our customers’ high-value processes
through an entire life cycle.
We measure operating performance based on segment earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
and other selected items ("Adjusted Segment EBITDA"), which is segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and other
costs identifiable with the segment, excluding acquisition and divestiture expenses, restructuring costs, impairment charges,
non-controlling interest compensation, amortization of the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory, and depreciation
and amortization. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled
86
measures used by other companies. Corporate expenses include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly
attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, gains and losses related to the sale of assets, and income
taxes are not included in the computation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA. The accounting policies of the reportable segments
are the same as those for Enpro.
Non-controlling interest compensation allocation represents compensation expense associated with a portion of the
rollover equity from the acquisitions of LeanTeq and Alluxa being subject to reduction for certain types of employment
terminations of the sellers. This expense was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses on our Consolidated
Statements of Operations and is directly related to the terms of the acquisitions. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Enpro acquired
all of the LeanTeq non-controlling interests.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
General
A description of certain environmental and other legal matters relating to certain of our subsidiaries is included in this
section. In addition to the matters noted herein, we are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, other
litigation and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe the outcome of such other litigation and
legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Expenses for administrative and legal proceedings are recorded when incurred.
Environmental
Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws
and regulations of the U.S. and foreign countries. We take a proactive approach in our efforts to comply with these laws and
regulations as they relate to our manufacturing operations and in proposing and implementing any remedial plans that may be
necessary. We also regularly conduct comprehensive environmental, health and safety audits at our facilities to maintain
compliance and improve operational efficiency.
Although we believe past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable regulations, we or one or
more of our subsidiaries are involved with various investigation and remediation activities at 19 sites. At 14 of these sites, the
future cost per site for us or our subsidiaries is expected to exceed $100,000. We do not conduct manufacturing operations at
any of these sites. At all 19 sites, one or more of our subsidiaries formerly conducted business operations but no longer do.
Among these 19 sites, investigations have been completed for 15 sites and are in progress at 4 sites. Among the 15 sites where
investigations have been completed, 7 sites have remediation systems that are operating and our only obligation at the other 8
sites is to conduct periodic monitoring. In addition to the 19 sites referenced above, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (the "EPA") has provided us notice that Enpro has potential responsibility at 1 additional site where one of our
subsidiaries formerly conducted business operations but no longer does. We have responded to the EPA that we do not have
responsibility at that site and are awaiting EPA's response.
Our policy is to accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For sites with multiple future projected cost scenarios for identified
feasible investigation and remediation options where no one estimate is more likely than all the others, our policy is to accrue
the lowest estimate among the range of estimates. The measurement of the liability is based on an evaluation of currently
available facts with respect to each individual situation and takes into consideration factors such as existing technology,
presently enacted laws and regulations and prior experience in the remediation of similar contaminated sites. Liabilities are
established for all sites based on these factors. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, these liabilities are
reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional technical data and legal information. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had
recorded liabilities aggregating $39.0 million and $42.1 million, respectively, for estimated future expenditures relating to
environmental contingencies. The current portion of our aggregate environmental liability included in accrued liabilities at
December 31, 2023, was $8.2 million. These amounts have been recorded on an undiscounted basis in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other
parties potentially being fully or partially liable, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is
possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities.
We believe that our accruals for specific environmental liabilities are adequate based on currently available information.
Based upon limited information regarding any incremental remediation or other actions that may be required at these sites, we
cannot estimate any further loss or a reasonably possible range of loss related to these matters. Actual costs to be incurred in
future periods may vary from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures due to
unknown and changing conditions, changing government regulations and legal standards regarding liability.
Lower Passaic River Study Area
Based on our prior ownership of Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc. (“Crucible”), we may have additional
contingent liabilities in one or more significant environmental matters. One such matter, which is included in the 19 sites
referred to above, is the Lower Passaic River Study Area of the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in New Jersey. Crucible
operated a steel mill abutting the Passaic River in Harrison, New Jersey from the 1930s until 1974, which was one of many
industrial operations on the river dating back to the 1800s. Certain contingent environmental liabilities related to this site were
retained by a predecessor of EnPro Holdings when it sold a majority interest in Crucible Materials Corporation (the successor
of Crucible) in 1985. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) notified our subsidiary in September
90
2003 that it is a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for Superfund response actions in the lower 17-mile stretch of the Passaic
River known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area.
EnPro Holdings and approximately 70 of the numerous other PRPs, known as the Cooperating Parties Group, are parties
to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent with the EPA to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”)
of the contaminants in the Lower Passaic River Study Area. In September 2018, EnPro Holdings withdrew from the
Cooperating Parties Group but remains a party to the May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent. The RI/FS was completed
and submitted to the EPA at the end of April 2015. The RI/FS recommends a targeted dredge and cap remedy with monitored
natural recovery and adaptive management for the Lower Passaic River Study Area. The cost of such remedy is estimated to be
$726 million. Previously, on April 11, 2014, the EPA released its Focused Feasibility Study (the “FFS”) with its proposed plan
for remediating the lower eight miles of the Lower Passaic River Study Area. The FFS calls for bank-to-bank dredging and
capping of the riverbed of that portion of the river and estimates a range of the present value of aggregate remediation costs of
approximately $953 million to approximately $1.73 billion, although estimates of the costs and the timing of costs are
inherently imprecise. On March 3, 2016, the EPA issued the final Record of Decision (ROD) as to the remedy for the lower
eight miles of the Lower Passaic River Study Area, with the maximum estimated cost being reduced by the EPA from $1.73
billion to $1.38 billion, primarily due to a reduction in the amount of cubic yards of material that will be dredged. In October
2016, Occidental Chemical Corporation, the successor to the entity that operated the Diamond Alkali chemical manufacturing
facility, reached an agreement with the EPA to develop the design for this proposed remedy at an estimated cost of $165
million. The EPA has estimated that it will take approximately four years to develop this design. On June 30, 2018, Occidental
Chemical Corporation sued over 120 parties, including the Company, in the United States District Court for New Jersey seeking
recovery of response costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA").
No final allocations of responsibility have been made among the numerous PRPs that have received notices from the EPA,
there are numerous identified PRPs that have not yet received PRP notices from the EPA, and there are likely many PRPs that
have not yet been identified.
On April 14, 2021, the EPA issued its proposed remedy for the upper nine miles of the river, with an estimated present
value cost of approximately $441 million. The proposed remedy would involve dredging and capping of the river sediment as
an interim remedy followed by a period of monitoring to evaluate the response of the river system to the interim remedy.
When the EPA initiated the allocation process in 2017, it explained that a fair, carefully structured, information-based
allocation was necessary to promote settlements. With the completion of the allocation process, in the second quarter of 2021
the EPA began settlement negotiations with the parties that participated in the allocation process, including EnPro Holdings. In
September 2022, EnPro Holdings paid $5.9 million as part of a settlement between those parties and EPA. The payment will be
held in escrow until court approval of the settlement. Our reserve for this site at December 31, 2023 was $0.7 million. Further
adjustments to our reserve for this site are possible as new or additional information becomes available.
Except with respect to the Lower Passaic River Study Area, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss
related to any other contingent environmental liability based on our prior ownership of Crucible. See the section entitled
“Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc.” in this footnote for additional information.
Arizona Uranium Mines
EnPro Holdings has received notices from the EPA asserting that it is a potentially responsible party under the CERCLA
as the successor to a former operator of eight uranium mines in Arizona. The former operator conducted operations at the mines
from 1954 to 1957. In the 1990s, remediation work performed by others at these sites consisted of capping the exposed areas of
the mines. We have previously reserved amounts of probable loss associated with these mines, principally including the cost of
the investigative work to be conducted at such mines. We entered into an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on
Consent for Interim Removal Action with the EPA effective November 7, 2017 for the performance of this work. We entered
into a First Modification of Original Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent effective July 8, 2022 for the
performance of Engineering Evaluations and Cost Analyses of potential remedial options at each of the sites. In 2020, EPA
initiated group discussions with EnPro Holdings and other potentially responsible parties to resolve various technical issues,
including the development of cleanup standards. Based on these discussions and subsequent discussions with other responsible
parties with similar sites, we have concluded that further remedial work beyond maintenance of and minor repairs to the
existing caps is probable, and we have evaluated the feasibility of various remediation scenarios. Our reserve at December 31,
2023 for this site was $11.5 million, which reflects the low end of the range of our reasonably likely liability with respect to
these sites. We are not able at this time to estimate the upper end of a range of liability with respect to these sites.
On October 18, 2021, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona approved and entered a Consent Decree
pursuant to which the U.S government will reimburse the Company for 35% of necessary costs of response, as defined in 42
91
U.S.C. section 9601(25), previously or to be in the future incurred by the Company which arise out of or in connection with
releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at or emanating from the mine sites. We expect future contributions of
$2.9 million from the U.S. government towards remediation of the site. This amount was included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023.
In addition to the two sites discussed above, we have additional reserves of $26.9 million, of which $13.5 million pertains
to implementing and managing a solution to clean trichloroethylene soil and groundwater contamination at the location of a
former operation in Water Valley, Mississippi. These amounts represent a reasonable estimate of our probable future costs to
remediate these sites given the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2023.
Crucible Steel Corporation a/k/a Crucible, Inc.
Crucible, which was engaged primarily in the manufacture and distribution of high technology specialty metal products,
was a wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro Holdings until 1983 when its assets and liabilities were distributed to a new
subsidiary, Crucible Materials Corporation. EnPro Holdings sold a majority of the outstanding shares of Crucible Materials
Corporation in 1985 and divested its remaining minority interest in 2004. Crucible Materials Corporation filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in May 2009 and is no longer conducting operations.
We have certain ongoing obligations, which are included in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets,
including workers’ compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters, in addition to those mentioned previously
related to EnPro Holdings' period of ownership of Crucible. Based on EnPro Holdings' prior ownership of Crucible, we may
have certain additional contingent liabilities, including liabilities in one or more significant environmental matters included in
the matters discussed in “Environmental” above. We are investigating these matters. Except with respect to those matters for
which we have an accrued liability as discussed in "Environmental" above, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible
range of loss related to these contingent liabilities.
Warranties
We provide warranties on many of our products. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on
the product and the market in which the product is sold. We record a liability based upon estimates of the costs we may incur
under our warranties after a review of historical warranty experience and information about specific warranty claims.
Adjustments are made to the liability as claims data, historical experience, and trends result in changes to our estimate.
Changes in the carrying amount of the product warranty liability for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
are as follows:

20. Discontinued Operation and Dispositions
In the third quarter of 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our GGB business and announced our intention to sell
Garlock Pipeline Technologies, Inc. ("GPT"). These businesses, along with Compressor Products International ("CPI"), which
was divested on December 21, 2021, comprised our entire Engineered Materials segment ("Engineered Materials"). As a result
of classifying the GGB and GPT businesses as held for sale in the third quarter of 2022, we determined Engineered Materials to
be discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have reported, for all periods presented, the financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows of Engineered Materials as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
On January 30, 2023 we completed the sale of GPT. In 2023, we received $28.9 million, net of transaction fees and cash
sold, resulting in a pretax gain of $14.6 million recognized in the first quarter of 2023.
The sale of GGB closed on November 4, 2022 to The Timken Company. We received $298.2 million, net of transaction
fees and cash sold, including $3.1 million of payments made in the first quarter of 2023. We recorded a pre-tax gain of
$189.1 million as part of our discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2022. The sale of GGB included a subsidiary of
our Sealing Technologies segment which is not part of the discontinued operations described above. We recorded a pre-tax loss
92
of $0.4 million related to the sale of this subsidiary. The loss on sale as well as operating activity of this subsidiary are included
in continuing operations up to the date of the sale.
On December 21, 2021, we completed the sale of specified equity interests and assets of CPI, which had been included in
our Engineered Materials segment. We received $185.7 million, net of transaction fees and cash sold, resulting in a pre-tax gain
of $117.6 million as part of our discontinued operations.
Dispositions
On September 2, 2021, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our polymer components business unit, which was
principally located in Houston, Texas and had been included in our Sealing Technologies segment. As a result of the sale, we
recorded a pre-tax gain of $19.5 million in other income (expense) on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The results of our discontinued operations were as follows:
Net sales
Cost of sales
Gross profit
Operating expenses:
Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Pursuant to applicable accounting guidance for the reporting of discontinued operations, allocations to our Engineered
Materials segment for corporate services not expected to continue at the divested business subsequent to closing have not been
reflected in the above financial statements of discontinued operations and have been reclassified to income from continuing
operations in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods. In addition, divestiture-related costs
previously not allocated to our Engineered Materials segment that were incurred as a result of the divestiture of Engineered
Materials have been reflected in the financial results of discontinued operations. As a result, income from discontinued
operations before income taxes of Engineered Materials has been decreased by $1.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2022 and increased $2.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2021 with offsetting changes in corporate expenses of
continuing operations.
21.
Subsequent Events
On December 28, 2023, EnPro Holdings entered into an agreement to acquire Advanced Micro Instruments, Inc. (“AMI”)
for $210 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments related to the final acquisition date net working
capital determination. We estimate that approximately 3% of the total consideration given for the acquisition of AMI is related
to net tangible assets, excluding cash.
AMI is a leading provider of highly-engineered, application-specific analyzers and sensing technologies that monitor
critical parameters to maintain infrastructure integrity, enable process efficiency, enhance safety, and facilitate the clean energy
transition. The acquisition closed on January 29, 2024 and thus the assets and operating results of AMI are not included in our
2023 financial statements. AMI will be included as part of our Sealing Technologies segment.
Based in Costa Mesa, California, AMI serves customers in the midstream natural gas, biogas, industrial processing,
cryogenics, food processing, laboratory, wastewater and aerospace markets. The company offers a portfolio of oxygen,
hydrogen sulfide and moisture analyzers and proprietary sensing capabilities that detect contaminants in a variety of processes,
including natural gas and biogas streams, which enable operators to avoid flaring and, thereby, reduce CO2 emissions.
On February 21, 2024, we acquired all outstanding equity interests of the Alluxa Acquisition Subsidiary for $17.9 million
and became the sole owner of the Alluxa. For an additional discussion on the equity interests of the Alluxa Acquisition
Subsidiary, see Note 2, "Acquisitions".
