On July 17, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a $150 million share repurchase program. The program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Since the inception of the program, we repurchased approximately $80.7 million of Common stock pursuant to this authorization and as of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $69.3 million of share repurchase authorization remaining. See related information in Note 12, Share Repurchase Program. While not considered repurchases of shares, the Company does at times withhold shares that would otherwise be issued under stock-based awards to pay the related taxes for grants of stock-based awards that vested.
Market risk
As filed, 3,001 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income and financial condition are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments. Financial derivatives are used by Atmus expressly for hedging purposes and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. Substantially all of Atmus’ derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide the option to settle certain contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day with the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event.
To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, Atmus enters into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract.
The potential gain or loss in the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in the currencies of such contracts would be approximately $9.0 million. The sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates assumes the notional value to remain constant for the next 12 months. The analysis ignores the impact of foreign exchange movements on our competitive position and potential changes in sales levels. Any change in the value of the contracts, real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged items.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk relates primarily to our $600 million term loan facility and our five-year $400 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under these facilities would bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the applicable election made by us. Generally, U.S. dollar-denominated loans would bear interest at an adjusted term SOFR (which includes a 0.10 percent credit spread adjustment to SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a rate ranging from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent depending on our net leverage ratio. Based on our outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2025, a 0.125% change in SOFR would have a $0.7 million annual impact on interest expense. Refer to Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for further information.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 2,412 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of implementing a broad, multi-year, technology transformation project to modernize enterprise resource planning, middleware and legacy systems to achieve better process efficiencies across customer service, merchandising, sourcing, payroll and accounting through the use of various solutions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company continued to implement a new enterprise resource planning system for several of our locations. There have been no material additional implementations during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. As the Company’s technology transformation project continues, the Company continues to emphasize the maintenance of effective internal controls and assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of key control activities throughout development and deployment of each phase and will evaluate as additional phases are deployed.
There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, Atmus’ internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Risk factors
As filed, 3,383 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the revision to the following risk factor as set forth below:
Increased tariffs or the imposition of other barriers to international trade could impact the cost of our products, demand for our products and our competitive position.
Changes to trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; the imposition of new, additional, or retaliatory tariffs, quotas, exchange controls, sanctions, trade barriers or other restrictions; and the withdrawal from or modification of trade agreements or the negotiation of new trade agreements, in countries where we operate, particularly in Mexico, Canada, China, and India, could impact the cost of our products, demand for our products and the competitive position of our products. Our largest global manufacturing facility is in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and it supplies products to our U.S. and global markets. There can be no assurance that the consequences of these actions, given our global operations, will not have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
For example, since February 2025, the U.S. presidential administration has announced new and substantial tariff increases on imports to the United States from China, Mexico, Canada and India. Since then, various modifications and delays to these tariffs have been implemented, with further changes anticipated. These modifications include additional sector-specific tariffs or other measures. These actions have resulted in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods and have had a direct impact on our business. Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of temporary pauses and limited exemptions, such as the temporary exemption for goods that enter the U.S. as qualifying goods under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), for which the majority of our products from Mexico for the U.S. market are certified compliant, or expected to be certified compliant. These temporary exemptions, including those we are availing ourselves to under the USMCA, may be reduced or eliminated in the future. The ongoing trade disputes associated with these tariff measures and the potential escalation of trade disputes would pose a significant risk to our business and would affect our revenue and cost of goods sold. For instance, we have raised the prices of certain of our products in response to cost increases we have incurred on purchases of finished and other goods and some raw materials due to tariffs. The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Further, actions we take to adapt to new tariffs or trade restrictions, including raising the prices of our products or shifting supply sourcing or production locations, may cause us to modify our operations, lose customers, experience increased costs, or forgo business opportunities.
