No one could have imagined the adversity and suffering the impending coronavirus crisis would bring to the world. When this once-in-a-century pandemic struck, it turned our lives upside down – challenging our communities, businesses, and lifestyles in ways we could not have envisioned. As businesses across the globe struggled with unprecedented volatility and uncertainty, we focused on the health and safety of Glatfelter PEOPLE and the continued operation of our factories. More than ever, the public was demanding access to life-sustaining essential consumer staples. It was imperative that we maintained an uninterrupted supply of the critical materials our customers urgently needed. With little time to test the mettle of our operating model, or the metal of our recent investments, our team embraced the lessons of our transformation – demonstrating laser-like focus, agility, teamwork, and rigorous attention to operational excellence in response to the extraordinary conditions. I am pleased to report that Glatfelter PEOPLE performed valiantly in an exceptionally challenging environment by building on the progress achieved in 2019. • Both product segments delivered strong profit performances and cash flows during the year, driving adjusted EBITDA up 12% over 2019. We met or exceeded internal and investor expectations each quarter in 2020, and every quarter since divesting the Specialty Papers business in 2018. This improved level of performance is demonstrating our company’s enhanced capability to produce consistent, predictable financial results while investing in growth. • The Airlaid Materials segment achieved record profitability through growth in its health and hygiene product categories. Despite a decline in tabletop products due to COVID-19-related restaurant closures, the team performed well by optimizing its product mix and reducing costs to meet the dynamic market environment. Dante C. Parrini, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer • For the Composite Fibers segment, the focus on continuous improvement, operational excellence, and strong commercial execution strengthened productivity and delivered a turnaround in profitability. Consistent strength in food and beverage and recovering consumer demand for wallcovering and composite laminate products spurred increased shipments, while consolidating our metalized operations helped lower costs. • Glatfelter PEOPLE readily embraced our health and safety protocols and duty-of-care mandate to protect themselves, their co-workers, and their families. This commitment to safe and healthy best practices kept our factories reliably operating while enabling our success in maintaining an industry top- quartile safety performance. • We achieved an additional corporate responsibility milestone when we published our first Sustainability Report, formalizing our environmental, social, and governance priorities. The relocation of the corporate offices to Charlotte, North Carolina, was among the actions that supported our diversity and sustainability goals. As we strive to build a more inclusive company, this major metropolitan area offers access to a larger and more diverse talent base. These accomplishments – despite the far-reaching challenges of an unexpected and enduring global pandemic – exemplified the durability and strength of the new Glatfelter. Our reshaped engineered materials portfolio positioned us to provide outstanding customer service, with 85% of our products addressing essential consumer staples’ markets. And our transformed operating model generated the speed, agility, and cost savings needed to 111 1 succeed in a highly volatile environment. The true spirit and At the same time, we are aggressively pursuing new resilience of Glatfelter PEOPLE and our culture that thrives avenues for organic and acquisitive growth. Our strong on transparency and teamwork enabled us to successfully balance sheet and stable cash flow position us well to manage the risks and capture the opportunities presented invest in opportunities that enhance our business and by the pandemic and deliver another year of strong add scale consistent with our long-term growth strategy. financial performance. Adjusted earnings rose 13% to $37.4 million or $0.84 per share over $33.2 million or $0.75 per share in 2019. Revenue declined slightly to $916.5 million versus $927.7 million in the previous year. With higher cash flow and EBITDA, we reduced debt and de-levered our balance sheet, finishing the year at leverage of 1.8x, providing greater financial flexibility and the capacity to fund future growth opportunities. We also increased the quarterly dividend 4% to $0.135 per share. T H E O U T L O O K As the effects of the extended pandemic continue into 2021, the rapid progress in developing and distributing vaccines gives us hope for the future. Even so, creating immunity and returning to some degree of normalcy will require time and patience. During the first half of the coming year, demand for several of our products will remain volatile as coronavirus infection rates slowly In early 2021, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Georgia-Pacific’s U.S. nonwovens business for $175 million. This beneficial acquisition is highly complementary to our existing Airlaid segment and its customer base. The transaction reinforces how our growth strategy finds synergistic companies that help expand our capacity, increase output, and reduce costs to build value for the enterprise. C L O S I N G T H O U G H T S 2020 was an exceptionally difficult year for our employees, their families, and our company. In many ways, the pandemic served as a testimony to the new Glatfelter and our reshaped portfolio of essential consumer staples. Faced with almost incomprehensible challenges, Glatfelter PEOPLE pulled together to protect the health of their colleagues, sustain our operations, and generate growth in profits and cash flows amidst the turmoil of an extraordinary pandemic. recede and government lockdowns and restrictions abate.

All our hard work has instilled enthusiasm and confidence in Glatfelter’s great potential.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by a weak global economic environment or downturns in the target markets that we serve. Adverse global economic conditions could impact our target markets resulting in decreased demand for our products. Our results could be adversely affected if economic conditions weaken. Also, there may be periods during which demand for our products is insufficient to enable us to operate our production facilities at full capacity and in an economical manner which may force us to take machine downtime to curtail production to match demand. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic as the virus spread throughout the world. As the virus continued its rapid spread, a significant (cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3) impacted, and will continue to be so, by government (cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:81)-(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:179)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)-in-(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:17)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3)the globe in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus have had an unprecedented and significant adverse impact on global economies in terms of reduced GDP, increased unemployment, and insolvencies in a variety of industries and markets. In the event economic activity continues to be adversely impacted, or the impact intensifies, due to the spread of COVID-19 or due to actions to control the spread, we could be forced to curtail operations further due to reduced customer demand, compliance with government mandates or the inability to adequately staff production facilities due to a widespread or sustained outbreak of COVID-19 at one or more of our facilities. In addition, our global supply chain could be disrupted, demand for our products, or the prices the products are sold, could be adversely impacted if economic conditions in the target markets that we serve remain weak or weaken further. We also could face potential legal actions that could arise due to our operations during the pandemic. This economic environment may also cause customer insolvencies which may result in their inability to satisfy their financial obligations to us. The conditions are beyond our control and may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations. In addition, the COVID-(cid:20)(cid:28)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:74)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3) instabilities or insolvencies of some of our customers or the customers they in turn serve which could impact our ability to sell our products. These conditions are beyond our control and may have a significant impact on our sales and results of operations. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the event the spread continues or the government actions intensify, our results of operations and/or financial position could be adversely impacted. Approximately 55% of our net sales in 2020 was from shipments to customers in Europe, the demand for which is dependent on economic conditions in this area, or to the extent such customers do business outside of Europe, in other regions of the world. Uncertain economic conditions in this region may cause weakness in demand for our products as well as volatility in our customers buying patterns. The cost of raw materials and energy used to manufacture our products could increase or the availability of certain raw materials could become constrained. We require access to sufficient, and reasonably priced, quantities of pulps, pulp substitutes, abaca fiber, synthetic fibers, and certain other raw materials, as well as access to reliable and abundant supplies of water to support many of our 6 production facilities. We require significant quantities of wood pulps and, therefore, the volatility of wood pulp prices can have a significant impact on our results of operations. Our Philippine mill purchases abaca fiber to produce abaca pulp, a key material used to manufacture paper for single- serve coffee, tea, and technical (cid:86)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:41)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:92) of abaca fiber has been constrained or the quality diminished due to factors such as weather-related damage to the source crop as well as decisions by landowners to produce alternative crops in lieu of those used to produce abaca fiber. These factors have contributed to volatility in fiber prices or limited available supply. Airlaid Materials requires access to sufficient quantities of fluff pulp, the supply of which is subject to availability of certain softwoods. The cost of many of our production materials, including petroleum-based chemicals and freight charges, are influenced by the cost of oil. Natural gas is the principal source of fuel for each of our facilities worldwide and has historically been more volatile than other fuels. Government rules, regulations and policies have an impact on the cost of certain energy sources, particularly for our European operations. In Europe, we currently benefit from a number of government-sponsored programs related to, among others, green energy or renewable energy initiatives designed to mitigate the cost of electricity to larger industrial consumers of power. Any reduction in the extent of government sponsored incentives may adversely affect the cost ultimately borne by our operations.

If price adjustments significantly trail increases in raw materials or energy prices, our operating results could be adversely affected. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operations. A significant proportion of our net sale and earnings is generated from operations outside of the United States. In addition, we own and operate manufacturing facilities in Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines. A significant portion of our business is transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar including the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Philippine peso, among others.

As a result, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant. Our ability to maintain our products' price competitiveness is reliant, in part, on the relative strength of the currency in which the product is denominated compared to the currency of the market into which it is sold and the functional currency of our competitors. Changes in the rate of exchange of foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar, and other currencies, may adversely impact our results of operations and our ability to offer products in certain markets at acceptable prices.

The impact of any significant changes may result in our inability to effectively compete in the markets in which we operate, and as a result our sales and operating results would be adversely affected. GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 7 We may not be able to develop new products acceptable to our existing or potential customers. Our business strategy is market focused and includes investments in developing new products to meet the changing needs of our customers, serve new customers and to maintain our market share. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and introduce new and enhanced products that keep pace with introductions by our competitors and changing customer preferences. If we fail to anticipate or respond adequately to these factors, we may lose opportunities for business with both current and potential customers. The success of our new product offerings will depend on several factors, including our ability to: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) anticipate and properly identify our customers' needs and industry trends; develop and commercialize new products and applications in a timely manner; price our products competitively; differentiate our products from our competitors' products; and invest efficiently in research and development activities. Our inability to develop new products or new business opportunities could adversely impact our business and ultimately harm our profitability. We are subject to substantial costs and potential liability for environmental matters. We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that govern our operations, including discharges into the environment, and the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes. We are also subject to laws and regulations that impose liability and clean-up responsibility for releases of hazardous substances. To comply with environmental laws and regulations, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial expenditures. We may incur obligations to remove or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment, such as air and water quality, resulting from mills we operate or have operated. Potential obligations include costs for government oversight of the remediation activities, the restoration of natural resources, and/or personal injury and property damages. Airlaid Materials generates a substantial portion of its net sales from one customer serving the hygiene products market, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our operations may be impaired, and we may be exposed to potential losses and liability as a result of natural disasters, acts of terrorism or sabotage or similar events. If we have a catastrophic loss or unforeseen operational disruption at any of our facilities, we could suffer significant lost production which could impair our ability to satisfy customer demands. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, flooding or fire, and acts of terrorism or sabotage affecting our operating activities and major facilities could materially and adversely affect our operations, operating results and financial condition. 8 In addition, many of our operations require a reliable and abundant supply of water. Such mills rely on a local water body or water source for their water needs and, therefore, are particularly sensitive to drought conditions or other natural or manmade interruptions to water supplies. Any interruption or curtailment of operations at any of our production facilities due to drought or low flow conditions at the principal water source or another cause could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Our pulp mill in Lanao del Norte on the Island of Mindanao in the Republic of the Philippines is located along the (cid:51)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:3)(cid:53)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:93)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:37)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:82)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:92)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3) natural disasters discussed above, cyclones, typhoons, and volcanic activity. Moreover, the area of Lanao del Norte has been a target of suspected terrorist activities. Our pulp mill in Mindanao is located in a rural portion of the island and is susceptible to attacks and/or power interruptions. The Mindanao mill supplies the abaca pulp used by Composite Fibers to manufacture paper for single serve coffee and tea products and certain technical specialties products. Any interruption, loss, or extended curtailment of operations at our Mindanao mill could affect our ability to meet customer demands for our products and materially affect our operating results and financial condition. We have operations in a potentially politically and economically unstable location. Our pulp mill in the Philippines is located in a region that is unstable and subject to political unrest. As discussed above, our Philippine pulp mill produces abaca pulp, a significant raw material used by Composite Fibers and is currently our main source of abaca pulp. There are limited suitable alternative sources of readily available abaca pulp in the world. In the event of a disruption in supply from our Philippine mill, there is no guarantee that we could obtain adequate amounts of abaca pulp, if at all, from alternative sources at a reasonable price. Further, there is no assurance the performance of such alternative materials will satisfy customer performance requirements. As a consequence, any civil disturbance, unrest, political instability, or other event that causes a disruption in supply could limit the availability of abaca pulp and would increase our cost of obtaining abaca pulp. Such occurrences could adversely impact our sales volumes, net sales, and operating results. Our international operations pose certain risks that may adversely impact sales and earnings. We have significant operations and assets located in Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines. Our international sales and operations are subject to a number of unique risks, in addition to the risks in our domestic sales and operations, including, but not limited to, economic and trade disruptions resulting from geopolitical developments, differing protections of intellectual property, trade barriers, labor unrest, exchange controls, regional economic uncertainty, differing (and possibly more stringent) labor regulation, risk of governmental expropriation, domestic and foreign customs and tariffs, differing regulatory environments, difficulty in managing widespread operations and political instability. These factors may adversely affect our future profits. Also, in some foreign jurisdictions, we may be subject to laws limiting the right and ability of entities organized or operating therein to pay dividends or remit earnings to affiliated companies unless specified conditions are met. Any such limitations would restrict our flexibility in using funds generated in those jurisdictions. We are subject to cyber-security risks related to unauthorized or malicious access to sensitive customer, vendor, company, or employee information as well as to the technology that supports our operations and other business processes. Our business operations rely upon secure systems for mill operations, and data capture, processing, storage, and reporting. Although we maintain appropriate data security and controls, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party providers, could become subject to cyberattacks. Systems such as ours are inherently exposed to cyber-security risks and potential attacks. The result of such attacks could result in a breach of data security and controls. Such a breach of our network, systems, applications or data could result in operational disruptions or damage or information misappropriation including, but not limited to, interruption to systems availability, denial of access to and misuse of applications required by our customers to conduct business with us, denial of access to the applications we use to plan our operations, procure materials, manufacture and ship products and account for orders, theft of intellectual knowhow and trade secrets, and inappropriate disclosure of confidential company, employee, customer or vendor information, could stem from such incidents. Any of these operational disruptions and/or misappropriation of information could adversely affect our results of operations, create negative publicity, and could have a material effect on our business. GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 9 We operate in and are subject to taxation from numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The multinational nature of our business subjects us to taxation in the U.S and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Our effective tax rates could be affected by changes in tax laws or their interpretation or changes in the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. For example, the European Commission has opened formal investigations to examine whether decisions by the tax authorities in certain European countries comply with (cid:40)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:56)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:40)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:84)(cid:88)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3) tax rulings that, in turn, could have an impact on our income taxes and results of operations. In the event any of the above risk factors impact our business in a material way or in combination during the same period, we may be unable to generate enough cash flow to simultaneously fund our operations, finance capital expenditures, satisfy obligations and make dividend payments on our common stock. In addition to debt service obligations, our business requires expenditures to support growth strategies, research and development initiatives, and for normal upgrades or replacements. We expect to meet all our near and long-term cash needs from a combination of operating cash flow, cash and cash equivalents, availability under our credit facility or other long-term debt. If we are unable to generate enough cash flow from these sources, we could be unable to fund our operations, finance capital expenditures, satisfy our near and long-term cash needs or make dividend payments. ITEM 1B UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2 PROPERTIES We own substantially all the land and buildings comprising our manufacturing facilities located in Arkansas; Canada; the United Kingdom; Germany; France; and the Philippines; as well as substantially all of the equipment used in our manufacturing and related operations. Certain of our operations are under lease arrangements including our metallized paper production facility located in Caerphilly, Wales, office and various warehouse space in the United States, Canada, Europe, Russia, China and our corporate offices in Charlotte, NC and York, PA. All our properties, other than those that are leased, are free from any material liens or encumbrances. We consider all our buildings to be in good structural condition and well maintained and our properties to be suitable and adequate for present operations. ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are involved in various lawsuits that we consider to be ordinary and incidental to our business. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty; however, we do not expect such lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. 10 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our executive officers and other senior management members of February 24, 2021 Name Age Office with the Company Dante C.

Our actual results may differ significantly from such expectations. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements regarding expectations of, among others, environmental costs, capital expenditures and liquidity, all of which are inherently difficult to predict. Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. Accordingly, we identify the following important factors, among others, which could cause our results to differ from any results that might be projected, forecasted or estimated in any such forward-looking statements: risks associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic including global and regional economic conditions, changes in demand for our products, interruptions in our global supply chain, ability to continue production by our facilities, credit conditions of our customers or suppliers, or potential legal actions that could arise due to our operations during the pandemic; variations in demand for our products including the impact of unplanned market-related downtime, variations in product pricing, or product substitution; the impact of competition, changes in industry production capacity, including the construction of new facilities or new machines, the closing of facilities and incremental changes due to capital expenditures or productivity increases; risks associated with our international operations, including local economic and political environments and fluctuations in currency exchange rates; geopolitical matters, including any impact to our operations from events in Russia, Ukraine and Philippines; our ability to develop new, high value-added products; changes in the price or availability of raw materials we use, particularly woodpulp, pulp substitutes, synthetic pulp, other specialty fibers and abaca fiber; changes in energy-related prices and commodity raw materials with an energy component; the impact of unplanned production interruption at our facilities or at any of our key suppliers; disruptions in production and/or increased costs due to labor disputes; the gain or loss of significant customers and/or on-going viability of such customers; the impact of war and terrorism; the impact of unfavorable outcomes of audits by various state, federal or international tax authorities or changes in pre-tax income and its impact on the valuation of deferred taxes; enactment of adverse state, federal or foreign tax or other legislation or changes in government legislation, policy or regulation; and our ability to finance, consummate and integrate acquisitions. i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. ix. x. xi. xii. xiii. xiv. xv. 14 Introduction We manufacture a wide array of engineered materials and manage our company along two operating segments: (cid:135) Composite Fibers with net sales of single-serve tea and coffee filtration papers, wallcovering base materials, composite laminate papers, technical specialties including substrates for electrical applications, and metallized products; and (cid:135) Airlaid Materials with net sales of airlaid nonwoven fabric-like materials used in feminine hygiene products, adult incontinence products, tabletop, specialty wipes, home care products and other airlaid applications.

COVID-19 Pandemic On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic as the virus spread throughout the world. As the virus continued its rapid spread, a significant portion of the (cid:90)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:72) (cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:74)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:81)-(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)-in-(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:17)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:71)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3) significant adverse impact on a wide range of economies and industries throughout the world, including certain markets we serve. The COVID-19 pandemic and the actions undertaken throughout the world in an attempt to contain the virus have had an unprecedented and significant adverse impact on global economies in terms of reduced GDP, increased unemployment, and insolvencies in a variety of industries and markets. As a result, we have experienced and may continue to experience weaker demand for certain of our products due to the effects of the pandemic, and there may be periods during which demand for our products is insufficient to enable us to operate our production facilities in an economical manner which may force us to take machine downtime to curtail production to match demand. Our financial performance and results of operations have been impacted by the weaker economic conditions related to the pandemic as demand for wallcover products were significantly weaker particularly during the second quarter of 2020, although shipping volumes increased significantly during the second half of 2020. In addition, demand for tabletop products has been significantly adversely impacted by the pandemic and the effect on venues, such as restaurants, which use tabletop products. The majority of our other (cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:58)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:41)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:9)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:48)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3) hygiene and wipes, will remain strong. To date, we have successfully maintained our global supply chain securing critical raw materials with minimal disruptions or incremental costs and the demand for substantially all products has been stable as our customers continued to serve critical products to end-user consumers. As disclosed in Item 1A (cid:177) Risk Factors to this Annual Report, approximately $79 million of our net sales in 2020 was earned from customers located in Ukraine, Russia, and members of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The large majority of our net sales from this region consists of wallcover base material. During the second quarter of 2020, our wallcover net sales were significantly impacted by temporary suspension of operations of many of our customers due to government orders related to the pandemic. Although our customers have resumed operations and demand for our wallcover products returned to more normalized levels, if the governmental authorities reimplement actions to fight any resurgence of COVID-19 in these regions, or if economic hardships continue, sales to some of our customers, such as wallpaper printers, may be adversely impacted. In addition, as authorities instituted restrictions limiting business operations, social distancing and other health and safety measures, restaurants and similar venues globally were forced to significantly curtail or close their businesses. As a result, tabletop volumes in our Airlaid Materials segment were significantly lower in 2020. The health and safety of our employees and their families are a top priority, and we remain committed to taking all the necessary measures to protect them. We have instituted appropriate new safety, hygiene, and communication protocols throughout our facilities to ensure we maintain our ability to produce product. Accordingly, we continue to proactively work to identify and mitigate risks to safeguard the continuity of our business. We believe we are well positioned from a liquidity and leverage perspective following the successful restructuring and cost optimization initiatives in 2019 and 2020 and the debt refinancing in 2019. As a result, we believe we are able to supply our customers high-quality engineered materials necessary to manufacture a variety of essential and life-sustaining consumer staples including wipes, health and hygiene products, and food and beverage items during this challenging time. GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 15 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2020 versus 2019 Overview For the year ended December 31, 2020 we reported income from continuing operations of $20.8 million, or $0.47 per share compared with a loss of $25.2 million, or $0.57 per share in 2019.

Timberland sales and related costs. These adjustments exclude gains from the sales of timberlands as these items are not considered to be part of our core business, ongoing results of operations or cash flows. These adjustments are irregular in timing and amount and may benefit our operating results. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act 2020. This adjustment reflects the tax benefit recognized as a result of the March 27, 2020 change in U.S. tax law which, among others, allows net operating losses to be carried back five years. These adjustments are each unique and not considered to be on-going in nature. The transactions are irregular in timing and amount and may significantly impact our operating performance. As such, these items may not be indicative of our past or future performance and therefore are excluded for comparability purposes.

There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the segments. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. The costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the operating segment are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services (cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:50)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:56)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:17)(cid:3) Management evaluates results of operations of the segments before certain corporate level costs and the effects of certain gains or losses not considered to be related to the core business operations.

These amounts are excluded from net income when arriving at adjusted earnings. The amounts for 2019 included a $23.1 million tax benefit recorded in connection with the $75.3 million pension settlement charge. In addition, income taxes in 2019 included a $3.0 million benefit due to the completion of tax audits and the release of certain state valuation allowances. On adjusted pre-tax income of $60.5 million, income tax expense was $23.1 million in 2020. The comparable amounts in 2019 were $47.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings was 38.2% in the 2020 compared to 30.4% in 2019. Foreign Currency We own and operate facilities in Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines. The functional currency of our Canadian operations is the U.S. dollar. However, in Germany and France it is the Euro, in the UK, it is the British pound sterling, and in the Philippines the functional currency is the peso.

For 2020 compared to 2019, the average currency exchange rate of the euro strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar by approximately 9.5% in the year over year comparison, and the British pound sterling to the dollar strengthened by approximately 2.3%. With respect to the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and Philippine peso, we have differing amounts of inflows and outflows of these currencies, although to a lesser degree than the euro. As a result, we are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates and such changes could be significant. The translation of the results from international operations into U.S. dollars is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

In 2019, we reported income from discontinued operations of $3.7 million GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 21 primarily relating to adjustments for post-closing working capital, pension and the reversal of tax reserves associated with the closure of tax matters, and other items in connection with the sale of Specialty Papers. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our business requires expenditures for new or enhanced equipment, research and development efforts, and to support our business strategy.

Cash held by our foreign subsidiaries can be repatriated without incurring a significant amount of additional taxes. In addition to cash, as of December 31, 2020, $175.2 million was available under our existing revolving credit agreement. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $109.0 million in 2020 compared with $102.8 million a year ago, which included $53.4 million of cash received in connection with the termination of our overfunded qualified pension plan. The improvement in operating cash flow reflects a $12.9 million increase in EBITDA, adjusted to exclude items identified to determine adjusted earnings, $21.7 million from improved working capital usage, a $20.4 million tax refund associated with the CARES Act, and $17.2 million of lower cash used for the Fox River matter, partially offset by cash used for restructuring activities, excise taxes on the pension asset reversion and strategic initiatives in 2020. Cash used for interest payments declined $4.0 million in the comparison reflecting savings from our debt refinancing in early 2019. Net cash used by investing activities decreased by $0.3 million in the year-over-year comparison. Capital expenditures totaled $28.1 million in 2020 compared with $27.8 million in 2019. Capital expenditures are expected to total between $38 million and $42 million in 2021. Net cash used by financing activities totaled $100.3 million in 2020 compared with $72.8 million in 2019. The change in the year-to-year comparison primarily reflects reductions in amounts outstanding under our Revolving credit facility and term loan repayments.

As of December 31, 2020, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our amended credit agreement, was 1.8x, within the limits set forth in our credit agreement. 22 The table above sets forth our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2020.

The other terms of the 2019 Facility are substantially similar to our then existing Revolving credit facility. Financing activities includes cash used for common stock dividends. In 2020, we used $23.5 million of cash for dividends on our common stock compared with $22.9 million in 2019. In the second quarter of 2020, we increased the quarterly cash dividend by 3.85%. Our Board of Directors determines what, if any, dividends will be paid to our shareholders. Dividend payment decisions are based upon then-existing factors and conditions and, therefore, historical trends of dividend payments are not necessarily indicative of future payments. We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment as well as human health and safety. At various times, we have incurred costs to comply with these regulations and we could incur additional costs as new regulations are developed or regulatory priorities change.

Pursuant to a consent decree with certain government agencies entered into in January 2019, we paid $20.5 million for past government oversight costs. Although there remains some uncertainty as to the amount we may ultimately be required to spend, primarily for government oversight costs, the consent decree specifies the nature of our future obligations. We expect to meet all our near and long-term cash needs, including the pending acquisition of Georgia-Pacific's U.S. nonwovens business for $175 million, from a combination of operating cash flow, cash and cash equivalents, our existing credit facility and other long-term debt. Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had not entered into any off-balance-sheet arrangements. Financial derivative instruments, to which we are a party, and guarantees of indebtedness, which solely consist of obligations of subsidiaries, are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets included herein in Item 8 (cid:177) Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 23 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preceding discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial position and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, long-lived assets, pension and post-employment obligations, environmental liabilities, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe the following represent the most significant and subjective estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Long- and indefinite-lived Assets We evaluate the recoverability of our long- and indefinite-lived assets, including plant, equipment, timberlands, goodwill, and other intangible assets periodically or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Goodwill and non-amortizing tradename intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, during the third quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. However, in 2020, as a result of potential impairment indicators related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated such assets as of the end of the second quarter and, in connection with our normal review cycle, in the third quarter. In addition, in order to align the evaluation process more closely with the timing change for our strategic planning cycle, we changed the timing of the annual evaluation to be completed in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, we completed an evaluation during the fourth quarter of 2020, and we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing tradename intangible assets. The fair value of our reporting units, which are also our operating segments, is determined using a market approach and a discounted cash flow model. The fair value of non-amortizing tradename intangible assets is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our evaluations include a variety of qualitative factors and analyses based on estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the underlying assets, trends or other determinants of fair value. If the value of an asset determined by these evaluations is less than its carrying amount, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of the related business may indicate an inability to recover the carrying value of the assets, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future. Pension and Other Post-Employment Obligations Accounting for defined-benefit pension plans, and any curtailments or settlements thereof, requires various assumptions, including, but not limited to discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, future compensation growth rates and mortality rates. Accounting for our retiree medical plans, and any curtailments or settlements thereof, also requires various assumptions, which include, but are not limited to, discount rates and annual rates of increase in the per capita costs of health care benefits. The following chart summarizes the more significant assumption used in the actuarial valuation of our defined-benefit plans for each of the past three years: Pension plans Weighted average discount rate for benefit expense for benefit obligation Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets(1)(cid:3) Rate of compensation increase Post-employment medical Weighted average discount rate for benefit expense for benefit obligation Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year Ultimate cost trend rate Year that the ultimate cost trend rate is reached 2020 2019 2018 2.70 % 2.17 % (cid:178) (cid:178) 3.11 % 2.30 % 5.30 % 4.50 % 2037 4.34 % 2.70 % 4.50 % 2.50 % 4.19 % 3.11 % 5.60 % 4.50 % 2037 3.85 % 4.34 % 7.25 % 3.00 % 3.68 % 4.19 % 5.90 % 4.50 % 2037 (1) For 2019, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was reduced to 4.50% due, in part, to a change in the investment allocation of plan assets. We evaluate these assumptions at least once each year or as facts and circumstances dictate and we make changes as conditions warrant. Changes to these assumptions will increase or decrease our reported net periodic benefit expense, which will result in changes to the recorded benefit plan assets and liabilities. 24 Environmental Liabilities We maintain accruals for losses associated with environmental obligations when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on existing legislation and remediation technologies. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation actions continue and/or further legal or technical information develops. Such liabilities are exclusive of any insurance or other claims against third parties. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life of the asset, increase its capacity and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties, including insurance carriers, are recorded as assets when their receipt is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Income Taxes We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in our consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. These deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such amounts are expected to reverse or be utilized. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, which may result in a substantial increase in our effective tax rate and a material adverse impact on our reported results. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. We and our subsidiaries are examined by various Federal, State and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. Other significant accounting policies, not involving the same level of uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair values included herein have been determined based upon rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Our market risk exposure primarily results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. At December 31, 2020, we had $313.5 million of long-term debt, net of deferred debt issuance costs. After giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement, approximately 19.7% of our debt was at variable interest rates. The fixed-rate Term Loans and the variable rate debt are all euro-based borrowings and thus the value of which is also subject to currency risk. Variable-rate debt outstanding represents borrowings under our revolving credit agreement that accrues interest based on one-month LIBOR plus a margin. At December 31, 2020, the contractual interest rate paid was 1.50%. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate on variable rate debt would increase or decrease annual interest expense by $0.3 million.

Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that 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 that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 27 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the shareholders and Board of Directors of Glatfelter Corporation Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Glatfelter Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control (cid:178) Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control (cid:177) Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated February 25, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 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 (cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania February 25, 2021 28 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the shareholders and Board of Directors of Glatfelter Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glatfelter Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (cid:11)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:12)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:84)(cid:88)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:92)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:90)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:3)years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item (cid:20)(cid:24)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:15)(cid:3) the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the 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. Goodwill Valuation – Composite Fibers Reporting Unit — Refer to Notes 2 and 16 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The fair value of goodwill is determined using a market approach and a discounted cash flow model. These approaches incorporate several assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the underlying assets. For Goodwill, impairment losses, if any, are recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The goodwill balance was $164.4 million as of December 31, 2020, of which $79.8 million was allocated to the Composite Fibers operating segment, which is also a reporting unit. The fair value of the Composite Fibers reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glatfelter and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingencies as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are reasonable, based upon currently available facts and known circumstances, but recognizes that actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Discontinued Operations The results of operations for the Specialty Papers business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Cash and Cash Equivalents We classify all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents. Inventories Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Raw materials, in-process and finished goods inventories are valued principally using the average-cost method. Plant, Equipment and Timberlands For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The range of estimated service lives used to calculate financial reporting depreciation for principal items of plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings Machinery and equipment Other 15 (cid:177) 45 Years 5 (cid:177) 40 Years 3 (cid:177) 25 Years Maintenance and Repairs Maintenance and repairs costs are charged to income and major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time property is retired or sold, the net carrying value is eliminated and any resultant gain or loss is included in income. Valuation of Long-lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Goodwill We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment when a specific event indicates that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed based on estimates of future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the sum of expected (cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:90)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:92)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Goodwill and non-amortizing tradename intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, during the third quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. However, in 2020, as a result of potential impairment indicators related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated such assets as of the end of the second quarter and, in connection with our normal review cycle, in the third quarter. In addition, in order to align the evaluation process more closely with the timing change for our strategic planning cycle, we changed the timing of the annual evaluation to be completed in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, we completed an evaluation during the fourth quarter of 2020, and we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing tradename intangible assets. We believe the change in our annual impairment testing date did not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment charge. We have determined that this change 36 in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances and does not result in adjustments to our financial statements when applied retrospectively. The fair value of our reporting units, which are also our operating segments, is determined using a market approach and a discounted cash flow model. The fair value of non-amortizing tradename intangible assets is determined using a discounted cash flow model. For goodwill, impairment losses, if any, are recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

For additional information, refer to Note 6 (cid:177) (cid:179)Asset Impairment(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:179) Income Taxes Income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes (cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:36)(cid:54)(cid:38)(cid:3)(cid:26)(cid:23)(cid:19)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:56)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:54)(cid:38)(cid:3)(cid:26)(cid:23)(cid:19)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:91)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:56)(cid:17)(cid:54)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3) income taxes plus the provision for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries not deemed to be permanently invested. Tax credits and other incentives reduce tax expense in the year the credits are claimed. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported in deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized in future years. We establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not more likely than not. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. We and our subsidiaries are examined by various Federal, State, and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and record any necessary adjustments in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. Investment tax credits are accounted for by the flow-through method, which results in recognition of the benefit in the year in which the credit become available.

Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency translation gains and losses and the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction gains and losses are included in income in the period in which they occur.

Our performance obligation is to produce a specified product according to technical specifications and, in substantially all instances, to deliver the product. Revenue from product sales is earned at a point in time. We recognize revenue on product sales when we have satisfied our performance obligation and control of the product has passed to the customer thereby entitling us to payment. With respect to substantially all arrangements for product sales, this is deemed to occur when title transfers in accordance with specified shipping terms. Selling prices are fixed at the time the sales arrangement is entered into and payment terms are customary for similar arrangements in our industry. Many of our agreements include customary provisions for volume rebates, discounts and similar incentives. In addition, we are obligated for products that fail to meet agreed upon specification. Provisions for such items are estimated and recorded as sales deductions in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.

These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation actions continue and/or further legal or technical information develops. Such undiscounted liabilities are exclusive of any insurance or other claims against third parties. Environmental costs are capitalized if the costs extend the life of the asset, increase its capacity and/or mitigate or prevent contamination from future operations. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs GLATFELTER 2020 FORM 10-K 37 from other parties, including insurance carriers, are recorded as assets when their receipt is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted- average common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period. In periods in which there is a net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share. The dilutive effect of common share equivalents is considered in the diluted earnings per share computation using the treasury stock method. Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities We use financial derivatives to manage exposure to changes in foreign currencies and interest rates. In accordance with FASB ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:36)(cid:54)(cid:38)(cid:3)(cid:27)(cid:20)(cid:24)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:71)(cid:3) all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. The gain or loss on those derivative instruments designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to forecasted transactions is deferred and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Deferred gains or losses are reclassified to our results of operations at the time the hedged forecasted transaction is recorded in our results of operations. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is assessed at inception and quarterly thereafter. If the instrument matures, is de-designated, becomes ineffective or it becomes probable that the originally forecasted transaction will not occur, the related change in fair value of the derivative instrument is also reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in earnings. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Under the accounting for fair value measurements and disclosures, a fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments that changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. Under the new guidance, an allowance is recognized based on an estimate of expected credit losses. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not impact our results of operations or financial position. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update eliminates, clarifies, and modifies certain guidance related to the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019- 12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2021, but do not expect this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements. 3. ACQUISITIONS On January 5, 2021, we signed a definitive agreement to purchase Georgia-Pacific's U.S. nonwovens business ("G-P") for $175 million, subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. This business includes the Mount Holly, NC manufacturing facility with annual production capacity of approximately 37,000 metric tons and an R&D center and pilot line for nonwovens product development in Memphis, TN. G-P had annual net sales of approximately $100 million in 2020. Upon completion of the acquisition, the acquired business will be operated as part of our Airlaid Materials reporting segment. 38 The proposed acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory clearances. The acquisition will be financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

We financed the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the Steinfurt acquisition we recorded $74.8 million of goodwill and $43.6 million of intangible assets. The goodwill arising from the acquisition largely relates to strategic benefits, product and market diversification, assembled workforce, and similar factors. For tax purposes, none of the goodwill is deductible. Intangible assets consist of technology, customer relationships and tradename. Acquired property, plant and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis with estimated remaining lives ranging from 5 years to 25 years. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an average estimated remaining life of 13 years reflecting the expected future value. Net sales and operating income of Steinfurt included in our consolidated results of operations for 2018 totaled $23.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

These NOL carryforwards are available to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal NOL carryforward expires in 2037. The state NOL carryforwards expire at various times and in various amounts beginning in 2021. Certain foreign NOL carryforwards begin to expire after 2024. The federal, state and foreign NOL carryforwards on the income tax returns filed included unrecognized tax benefits taken in prior years. The NOLs for which a deferred tax asset is recognized for financial statement purposes in accordance with ASC 740 are presented net of these unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, we had various federal tax credit carryforwards totaling $14.2 million which begin to expire after 2034 and state tax credit carryforwards totaling $3.4 million, which begin to expire in 2021. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had a valuation allowance of $23.3 million and $28.5 million, respectively, against net deferred tax assets, primarily due to uncertainty regarding the ability to utilize federal, state and foreign tax NOL carryforwards and certain state tax credits. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based on this analysis, we recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets where the weight of available evidence indicated it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax credits and other incentives reduce tax expense in the year the credits are claimed. We recorded tax credits of $3.3 million, $2.8 million and $(0.1) million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to research and development credits. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the United States deemed to be indefinitely reinvested totaled $109 million and $62.0 million, respectively. Because the unremitted earnings of subsidiaries are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested as of December 31, 2020 and because we have no need for or plans to repatriate such earnings, no deferred tax liability has been recognized in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we had $46.3 million, $30.5 million and $29.6 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, if such benefits were to be recognized, approximately $35.8 million would be recorded as a component of income tax expense, thereby affecting our effective tax rate. 46 A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: In millions Balance at January 1 Increases in tax positions for prior years Decreases in tax positions for prior years Acquisition related: Purchase Accounting Increases in tax positions for current year Settlements Lapse in statutes of limitation Balance at December 31 2020 2019 2018 $ $ 30.5 13.9 (0.1 ) (cid:178) 4.4 (1.1 ) (1.3 ) 46.3 $ $ 29.6 2.8 (2.9 ) (cid:178) 4.6 (0.3 ) (3.3 ) 30.5 $ $ 26.9 0.3 (1.0 ) 0.3 4.0 (0.2 ) (0.7 ) 29.6 We, or one of our subsidiaries, file income tax returns with the United States Internal Revenue Service, as well as various state and foreign authorities.

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Management performs a comprehensive review of its global tax positions on a quarterly basis and accrues amounts for uncertain tax positions. Based on these reviews and the result of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities and the closure of tax years subject to tax audit, reserves are adjusted as necessary. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are determined or resolved or as such statutes are closed. Due to potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible our gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may decrease within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $6.1 million. The majority of this range relates to tax positions taken in Canada and the U.S. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.

The vesting of RSUs is generally based on the passage of time, generally over a three -year period or in certain instances the RSUs were issued with five-year cliff vesting. PSAs are issued to members of management and vesting is based on achievement of cumulative financial performance targets covering a two-year period followed by an additional one-year service period. The performance measures include a minimum, target and maximum performance level providing the grantees an opportunity to receive more or less shares than targeted depending on actual financial performance. In addition, beginning in 2018, PSA awards include a modifier based on the three-year total shareholder return relative to a broad market index. For RSUs the grant date fair value of the awards, or the closing price per common share on the date of the award, is used to determine the amount of expense to be recognized over the applicable service period. For PSAs, the grant date fair value is estimated using a lattice model. The significant inputs include the stock price, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free rate of return. Settlement of RSUs and PSAs will be made in shares of our common stock currently held in treasury. The following table summarizes RSU and PSA activity during the past three years: Units Balance at January 1, Granted Forfeited Shares delivered Balance at December 31, 2020 2019 2018 896,463 400,854 (89,483 ) (136,182 ) 1,071,652 756,786 600,820 (223,677 ) (237,466 ) 896,463 929,386 435,542 (112,501 ) (495,641 ) 756,786 Compensation expense $ 5,655 $ 3,543 $ 5,971 2020 2019 2018 The amount granted in 2020, 2019 and 2018 includes 171,150, 218,422 and 184,834 PSAs, respectively, exclusive of reinvested dividends. The weighted average grant date fair value per unit for awards in 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $16.65, $15.86 and $20.20, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding RSUs and PSAs totaled $5.4 million. The weighted average remaining period over which the expense will be recognized is 1.6 years.

RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS Prior to May 2019, we provided non-contributory retirement benefits under both funded and unfunded plans to all U.S. employees and to certain non-U.S. employees in Germany. As discussed in more detail below, we terminated our U.S. qualified pension plan effective June 30, 2019 and replaced the benefits with an enhanced 401(k) defined contribution plan.

We froze qualified pension plan benefits as of May 31, 2019 and terminated the plan June 30, 2019. During 2019, all plan liabilities were settled by either a lump sum distribution or assumed by a third-party in exchange for a transfer of assets from the pension plan trust fund. After giving effect to these transactions, we recorded a $309.5 million reduction in both the projected benefit obligation and the plan assets. In addition, in accordance with pension plan settlement accounting, we recorded a $75.3 million settlement charge reflecting the recognition of amounts previously included in accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result of terminating the qualified plan and settling the associated liabilities, as of December 31, 2019, $53.4 million of assets remained in the pension trust and was included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet based on the nature of the underlying assets. In addition, during 2020 we received $2.3 million as post-settlement adjustment with the third party. After transferring $14.1 million to a suspense account to fund future 401(k) contributions and paying $8.3 million of excise taxes, approximately $33.3 million was available for general corporate purposes. In December 2019, our Board of Directors approved the freezing of benefit accruals in the non-qualified pension plan for active participants effective December 31, 2019.

The Deferred Compensation Plan also provides for employer contributions and, beginning in 2021, the Plan may provide for elective employee deferrals. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, participants are eligible to receive annual Company contributions that such participants would have received under our 401(k) Savings Plan but for certain limitations (cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:53)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:23)(cid:19)(cid:20)(cid:11)(cid:78)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:56)(cid:81)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3) determined by the Compensation Committee, Company Contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan will not exceed (cid:26)(cid:8)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:53)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3) 401(k) plans. Non-U.S. benefits were based on average salary and years of service. We use a December 31-measurement date for all of our defined benefit plans. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the remaining non-contributory pension plans are unfunded non-qualified plans. We also provide certain health care benefits to eligible U.S.-based retired employees. Participation in the plan is closed to any salaried employees hired after December 31, 2006. These benefits include a comprehensive medical plan for retirees prior to age 65 and a fixed payment to certain retirees over age 65 to help defray the costs of Medicare. Claims are paid as reported. In connection with the sale in 2018 of the Specialty Papers business the buyer assumed $210 million of pension liabilities for all employees active as of October 31, 2018, and we agreed to transfer pension assets of approximately $274 million. In addition, the buyers assumed $38 million of retiree healthcare liabilities related to employees active as of the October 31, 2018. We retained the pension retiree healthcare liabilities for all retired and deferred vested Specialty Paper employees.

LEASES We enter into a variety of arrangements in which we are the lessee for the use of automobiles, forklifts and other production equipment, production facilities, warehouses and office space.

ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate when we are reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also have arrangements with both lease and non-lease components. We elected the practical expedients not to separate non-lease components from lease components for our real estate and automobile leases and the lack of need to reassess classification. We elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for arrangements less than twelve months in duration.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of customary covenants for financings of this type that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of or create liens on assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, limits certain intercompany financing arrangements, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations.

As of December 31, 2020, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement, was 1.8x. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, among which are the termination of the agreement and accelerated repayment of the outstanding borrowings plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Credit Agreement. All remaining principal outstanding and accrued interest under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable on February 8, 2024.

The letters of credit, which reduce amounts available under our revolving credit facility, provide financial assurances for the performance of long-term monitoring activities associated with the Fox River environmental matter and for the benefit of certain state workers compensation insurance agencies in conjunction with our self-insurance program. We bear the credit risk on this amount to the extent that we do not comply with the provisions of certain agreements. No amounts are outstanding under the letters of credit. 21.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges We use currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates on certain forecasted production costs or capital expenditures expected to be incurred over a maximum of eighteen months. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the EUR-USD exchange rate or USD-CAD for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. We designate certain currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted raw material purchases, certain production costs or capital expenditures with exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. With respect to hedges of forecasted raw material purchases or production costs, the amount deferred is subsequently reclassified into costs of products sold in the period that inventory produced using the hedged transaction affects earnings. For hedged capital expenditures, deferred gains or losses are reclassified and included in the historical cost of the capital asset and subsequently affect earnings as depreciation is recognized. We had the following outstanding derivatives that were used to hedge foreign exchange risks associated with forecasted transactions and designated as hedging instruments: In thousands Derivative Sell/Buy - sell notional Euro / British Pound Philippine Peso / Euro U.S. Dollar / Euro Canadian Dollar / U.S. Dollar U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar Sell/Buy - buy notional Euro / Philippine Peso British Pound / Philippine Peso Euro / U.S. Dollar U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar Canadian Dollar / U.S. Dollar 56 December 31 2020 2019 18,638 18,522 1,041 70 (cid:178) 853,686 1,081,791 69,324 34,847 (cid:178) 17,702 (cid:178) 5,347 (cid:178) 1,523 1,039,432 1,077,871 82,317 34,094 1,523 These contracts have maturities of eighteen months or less.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments – Net Investment Hedge The (cid:188)220 million Term Loan discussed in Note 20 (cid:177) (cid:179)Long-Term Debt” is designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro functional currency foreign subsidiaries. During 2020, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $21.1 million and in 2019 a pre-tax gain of $1.6 million on the remeasurement of the term loan from changes in currency exchange rates. Such amounts are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments - Foreign Currency Hedges We also enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the impact changes in currency exchange rates have on balance sheet monetary assets and liabilities. None of these contracts are designated as hedges for financial accounting purposes and, accordingly, changes in value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and in the offsetting underlying on-balance-sheet transactions are reflected in (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:50)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:17)(cid:180) In thousands Derivative Sell/Buy - sell notional U.S. Dollar / British Pound Euro / British Pound British Pound / Euro Sell/Buy - buy notional Euro / U.S. Dollar British Pound / Euro December 31 2020 2019 25,250 600 1,900 7,500 (cid:178) 25,500 (cid:178) 3,000 8,000 7,000 These contracts have maturities of one month from the date originally entered into.

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described in Note 2 (cid:177) (cid:179)Accounting Policies(cid:17)(cid:180) The fair values of the foreign exchange forward contracts are considered to be Level 2. These contracts are valued using foreign currency forward and interest rate curves. The fair value of each contract is determined by comparing the contract rate to the forward rate and discounting to present value.

Furthermore, we are primarily responsible for long term monitoring and maintenance in OU2-OU4a over a period of at least 30 years. The monitoring activities consist of, among others, testing fish tissue, sampling water quality and sediment, and inspections of the engineered caps. In 2018, we entered into a fixed-price, 30-year agreement with a third party for the performance of all of our monitoring and maintenance obligations in OU1 through OU4a with limited exceptions, such as, for extraordinary amounts of cap maintenance or replacement. Our obligation under this agreement is included in our total reserve for the Site. We are obligated to make the regular payments under that fixed-price contract until the remaining amount due is less than the OU1 escrow account balance. We are permitted to pay for this contract using the remaining (cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:90)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:58)(cid:55)(cid:48)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:58)(cid:55)(cid:48)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:51)(cid:53)(cid:51)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:50)(cid:56)(cid:20)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3) decree during any period that the balance in the escrow account exceeds the amount due under our fixed-price contract. As of December 31, 2020, the balance in the escrow is less than amounts due under the fixed-price contract by approximately $1.5 million. Our obligation to pay this difference is secured by a letter of credit. At December 31, 2020, the escrow account balance totaled $9.0 million which is included in the condensed (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:50)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:180) Under the consent decree, we are responsible for reimbursement of government oversight costs paid from October 2018 and later over approximately the next 30 years. We anticipate that oversight costs will decline as activities at the site transition from remediation to long-term monitoring and maintenance. Reserves for the Site.

Based on our analysis of all available information, including but not limited to decisions of the courts, official documents such as records of decision, discussions with legal counsel, cost estimates for future monitoring and maintenance and other post-remediation costs to be performed at the Site, we do not believe that our costs associated with the Fox River matter could exceed the aggregate amounts accrued by a material amount. 25.

There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, the financial results of individual segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other company. The management accounting process uses assumptions and allocations to measure performance of the operating segments. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices are enhanced and businesses change. The costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the operating segments are allocated primarily based on an estimated utilization of support area services. Management evaluates results of operations of the operating segments before pension expense, certain corporate level costs, and the effects of certain gains or losses not considered to be related to the core business operations. Management believes that this is a more meaningful representation of the operating performance of its core businesses, the profitability of segments and the extent of cash flow generated from these core operations. Such amounts are presented under the caption (cid:179)(cid:50)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:56)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:17)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:82)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3) assets.
