NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Trinseo S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Because they cover interim periods, the statements and related notes to the financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements and, therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 audited consolidated financial statements.

The December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet data presented herein was derived from the Company’s December 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods.

Recent Accounting Guidance
Recent Accounting Guidance

NOTE B—RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance. This guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The Company adopted this guidance on a retrospective basis effective January 1, 2014, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be netted against all available same-jurisdiction losses or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively effective January 1, 2014, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued amendments to guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The implementation of the amended guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

NOTE C—INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

The Company is supplemented by two strategic joint ventures: Americas Styrenics LLC (“AmSty”, a polystyrene joint venture with Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP) and Sumika Styron Polycarbonate Limited (“Sumika Styron”, a polycarbonate joint venture with Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited). Investments held in the unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for by the equity method.

 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company’s investment in AmSty was $128.8 million and $118.3 million. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company’s investment in AmSty was $126.4 million and $130.8 million less than the Company’s 50% share of AmSty’s underlying net assets. This amount represents the difference between the book value of assets contributed to the joint venture at the time of formation (May 1, 2008) and the Company’s 50% share of the total recorded value of the joint venture’s assets and certain adjustments to conform with the Company’s accounting policies. This difference is being amortized over a weighted average remaining useful life of the contributed assets of approximately 6.5 years as of March 31, 2014. The Company received dividends from AmSty of $5.0 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company’s investment in Sumika Styron was $36.1 million and $37.6 million. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company’s investment in Sumika Styron was $20.1 million and $20.8 million greater than the Company’s 50% share of Sumika Styron’s underlying net assets. This amount represents the fair value of certain identifiable assets which have not been recorded on the historical financial statements of Sumika Styron. This difference is being amortized over the remaining useful life of the contributed assets of 11.5 years as of March 31, 2014. The Company received dividends of $1.0 million and $1.1 million from Sumika Styron for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Both of the unconsolidated affiliates are privately held companies; therefore, quoted market prices for their stock are not available.

In March 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with material supplier JSR Corporation, Tokyo (“JSR”) to acquire its current production capacity rights at the Company’s rubber production facility in Schkopau, Germany for a purchase price of €19.0 million (approximately $26.1 million). Prior to this agreement, JSR held 50% of the capacity rights of one of the Company’s three solution styrene-butadiene rubber (“SSBR”) production trains in Schkopau. As a result, effective March 31, 2014, the Company had full capacity rights to this production train. The €19.0 million purchase price was recorded in “Other intangible assets, net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 to be amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 6 years. Further, the purchase price was recorded within capital expenditures in investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Amortization expense on other intangible assets totaled $4.0 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

In January 2013, the Company amended its credit agreement (“Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to, among other things, increase the Company’s revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) borrowing capacity from $240.0 million to $300.0 million, decreased the borrowing rate of the Revolving Facility through a decrease in the applicable margin rate from 4.75% to 3.00% as applied to base rate loans (which shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus the applicable margin (as defined therein)), or 5.75% to 4.00% as applied to LIBO rate loans (which shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO rate plus the applicable margin and the mandatory cost (as defined therein), if applicable), extended the maturity date to January 2018 and concurrently repaid its then outstanding term loans under our Senior Secured Credit Facility (the “Term Loans”) of $1,239.0 million using the proceeds from its sale of $1,325.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.750% senior secured notes (“Senior Notes”) issued in January 2013 (refer below for further discussion).

Prior to the amendment, the Senior Secured Credit Facility required that the Company comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions with respect to payment of dividends and other distributions to shareholders, and financial covenants that include the maintenance of certain financial ratios. These ratios include both a maximum leverage ratio no greater than 5.25 to 1.00 and an interest coverage ratio no less than 2.00 to 1.00 for the most recent twelve-month period.

The amendment replaced the Company’s total leverage ratio requirement with a first lien net leverage ratio (as defined under the amended agreement) and removed the interest coverage ratio requirement. If the outstanding balance on the Revolving Facility exceeds 25% of the $300.0 million borrowing capacity (excluding undrawn letters of credit up to $10.0 million) at a quarter end, then the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio may not exceed 5.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2013, 5.00 to 1.00 for the subsequent quarters through December 31, 2013, 4.50 to 1.00 for each of the quarters ending in 2014 and 4.25 to 1.00 for each of the quarters ending in 2015 and thereafter. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements.

As a result of this amendment and repayment of the Term Loans in January 2013, the Company recognized a $20.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the first quarter of 2013, which consisted of the write-off of existing unamortized debt issuance cost and debt discount attributable to the Term Loans. Fees and expenses incurred in connection with this amendment were $5.5 million, which were capitalized within “Deferred charges and other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized into “Interest expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the remaining term of the Revolving Facility using the straight-line method.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, and had $292.7 million (net of $7.3 million outstanding letters of credit) of funds available for borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

Senior Notes

In January 2013, the Company issued $1,325.0 million 8.750% Senior Notes. The Senior Notes interest is payable semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year, which commenced on August 1, 2013. The notes will mature on February 1, 2019, at which time the entire $1,325.0 million will be due and payable. The proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were used to repay all of the Company’s outstanding Term Loans and related refinancing fees and expenses.

The Company may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time prior to August 1, 2015 by paying a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time after August 1, 2015 at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed, to the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on of the year indicated below:

 

12-month period commencing August 1 in Year

   Percentage  

2015

     104.375

2016

     102.188

2017 and thereafter

     100.000

 

In addition, at any time prior to August 1, 2015, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 108.750% of the face amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds that the Company raises in certain equity offerings. The Company may also redeem, during any 12-month period commencing from the issue date until August 1, 2015, up to 10% of the original principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption.

The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior secured debt and pari passu with the Company and the Guarantors’ (as defined below) indebtedness that is secured by first-priority liens, including the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility (as defined above), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and ranking senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated debt. However, claims under the Senior Notes effectively rank behind the claims of holders of debt, including interest, under our Senior Secured Credit Facility in respect of proceeds from any enforcement action with respect to the collateral or in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceeding. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of our existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantee our Senior Secured Credit Facility (other than our subsidiaries in France and Spain) (the “Guarantors”). The note guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Guarantors’ existing and future senior secured debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt. The notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of each of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. If the Senior Notes are assigned an investment grade by the rating agencies and the Company is not in default, certain covenants will be suspended. If the ratings on the Senior Notes decline to below investment grade, the suspended covenants will be reinstated.

Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of Senior Notes were approximately $42.0 million, which were capitalized and included in “Deferred charges and other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and are being amortized into “Interest expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the term of the Senior Notes using the effective interest rate method.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

In May 2013, the Company amended its existing accounts receivable securitization facility (“Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”) which increased its borrowing capacity from $160.0 million to $200.0 million, extended the maturity date to May 2016 and allows for the expansion of the pool of eligible accounts receivable to include previously excluded U.S. and Netherlands subsidiaries. As a result of the amendment, the Company incurred $0.7 million in fees, which were capitalized within “Deferred charges and other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized into “Interest expense, net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations using the straight-line method over the remaining term.

The Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility is subject to interest charges against the amount of outstanding borrowings as well as the amount of available, but undrawn borrowings. As a result of the amendment to our Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, in regards to outstanding borrowings, fixed interest charges decreased from 3.25% plus commercial paper rates to 2.60% plus variable commercial paper rates. In regards to available, but undrawn borrowings, fixed interest charges decreased from 1.50% to 1.40%.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, with approximately $198.6 million and $143.8 million, respectively, of accounts receivable available to support this facility, based on the pool of eligible accounts receivable.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

NOTE G—FOREIGN EXCHANGE FORWARD CONTRACTS

The Company manages its exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates where possible by paying expenses in the same currency in which we generate sales in a particular country as well as using derivative contracts which are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. During 2012, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with a notional U.S. dollar equivalent of $82.0 million that were not designated as hedging instruments in order to manage volatility in foreign currency exposures. As these foreign exchange forward contracts were not designated for hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair value of underlying instruments are recognized in “Other expense (income), net” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

These contracts were settled in February and May 2013, with no new contracts entered since that time. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized $0.4 million of gains from foreign exchange forward contracts.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements

NOTE H—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date.

Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3—Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables present the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt not carried at fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $12.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 42.7%. Benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 1.0%.

The increase in provision for income taxes was primarily driven by the increase in income before income taxes from $9.8 million of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $29.8 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The loss before income taxes of $9.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 included the $20.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt (discussed in Note F to the condensed consolidated financial statements), which provided a $4.3 million tax benefit in that period. This one time item did not recur during the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies

NOTE J—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law, existing technologies and other information. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no accrued obligations for environmental remediation and restoration costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Styron sales and purchase agreement, the pre-closing environmental conditions were retained by Dow and the Company has been indemnified by Dow from and against all environmental liabilities incurred or relating to the predecessor periods. There are several properties which the Company now owns on which Dow has been conducting remediation to address historical contamination. Those properties include Allyn’s Point, Connecticut, Dalton, Georgia, and Livorno, Italy. There are other properties with historical contamination that are owned by Dow that the Company leases for its operations, including its facilities in Midland, Michigan, Schkopau, Germany, Terneuzen, The Netherlands, and Guaruja, Brazil. No environmental claims have been asserted or threatened against the Company, and the Company is not a potentially responsible party at any Superfund Sites.

Inherent uncertainties exist in the Company’s potential environmental liabilities primarily due to unknown conditions whether future claims may fall outside the scope of the indemnity, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and evolving technologies for handling site remediation and restoration. In connection with the Company’s existing indemnification, the possibility is considered remote that environmental remediation costs will have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Purchase Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company has certain raw material purchase contracts where it is required to purchase certain minimum volumes at current market prices. These commitments range from 1 to 7 years. In certain raw material purchase contracts, the Company has the right to purchase less than the required minimums and pay a liquidated damages fee, or, in case of a permanent plant shutdown, to terminate the contracts. In such cases, these obligations would be less than the annual commitment as disclosed in the 2013 consolidated financial statements.

The Company has service agreements with Dow and Bain Capital, some of which contain fixed annual fees. See Note M for further discussion.

Litigation Matters

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal claims and proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of business, relating to such matters as product liability, antitrust/competition, past waste disposal practices and release of chemicals into the environment. While it is impossible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these routine claims, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

Legal costs, including those legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency, are expensed as incurred.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s benefit obligations included in “Other noncurrent obligations” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $164.6 million and $163.2 million, respectively. The net periodic benefit costs are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as “Cost of sales” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”

The Company made cash contributions of approximately $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company expects to make additional cash contributions, including benefit payments to unfunded plans, of approximately $11.8 million to its defined benefit plans for the remainder of 2014.

Affiliation Agreements and Successor Plans

A majority of Company employees are participants in various defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans which are administered and sponsored by Trinseo. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and Dow entered into affiliation agreements in certain jurisdictions (the “Affiliation Agreements”) allowing employees who transferred from Dow to the Company as of June 17, 2010 to remain in the Dow operated pension plans (“Dow Plans”) until the Company established its own pension plan. The Affiliation Agreements ended on December 31, 2012. Effective January 1, 2013, all remaining employees of the Company who were previously participants of the Dow Plans in Switzerland and the Netherlands transferred to separately administered and sponsored pension plans of the Company (the “Successor Plans”). The benefit obligation and related plan assets in the Dow Plans belonging to the Company’s employees were transferred to the Successor Plans. As a result of the transfer, the Company recognized prior service credits and net losses of approximately $26.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

NOTE L—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On June 17, 2010, Bain Capital Everest Manager Holding SCA, which we refer to as the “Parent”, authorized the issuance of up to 750,000 shares in time-based and performance-based restricted stock to certain key members of management. Any related compensation associated with these awards is allocated to the Company from the Parent.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2014, there were no grants of time-based or performance-based restricted stock awards. Total compensation expense for time-based restricted stock awards was $2.4 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, there was $10.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to time-based restricted stock awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company has not recorded compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock awards as the likelihood of achieving the performance condition was not deemed to be probable as of March 31, 2014. Should this determination change in the future, compensation expense will be recognized over any remaining service period at that time. As of March 31, 2014, there was $15.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance-based restricted stock awards.

Management Retention Awards

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Parent agreed to retention awards with certain officers. These awards generally vest over one to four years, and are payable upon vesting subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company on the vesting date. Compensation expense related to these retention awards is equivalent to the value of the award, and is being recognized ratably over the applicable service period. Total compensation expense for these retention awards were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, there was $1.1 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to these retention awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.8 years.

Related Party Transactions
Related Party Transactions

NOTE M—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Bain Capital provides management services to the Company pursuant to a 10-year initial term advisory agreement, under which the Company incurred $1.2 million of fees for both the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Bain Capital also provides advice pursuant to a 10-year initial term transaction services agreement, with fees payable as a percentage of the transaction value of each financing, acquisition, or similar transaction. In connection with the issuance of Senior Notes and the amendment to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility in 2013, the Company incurred approximately $13.9 million of fees paid to Bain Capital pursuant to this agreement during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The fees incurred were included in the refinancing fees capitalized as deferred charges (see Note F for further discussion). No similar fees were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Segments
Segments

NOTE N—SEGMENTS

The Company operates four segments under two principal business units. The Emulsion Polymers business unit includes a Latex segment and a Synthetic Rubber segment. The Plastics business unit includes a Styrenics segment and an Engineered Polymers segment.

The Latex segment produces styrene-butadiene latex (“SB latex”) primarily for coated paper and packaging board, carpet and artificial turf backings, as well as a number of performance latex applications. The Synthetic Rubber segment produces synthetic rubber products used predominantly in tires, with additional applications in polymer modification and technical rubber goods, including conveyer and fan belts, hoses, seals and gaskets. The Styrenics and Engineered Polymers segments offer complementary plastics products with formulations developed for durable applications, such as consumer electronics, automotive and construction. Through these two segments, the Company provides a broad set of plastics product solutions to its customers.

Corporate unallocated includes certain corporate overhead costs, loss on extinguishment of long-term debt, and certain other income and expenses.

The primary measure of segment operating performance is EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts, and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance. EBITDA is useful for analysis purposes; however, it should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s reported GAAP results, as there are limitations in using such financial measures. Other companies in the industry may define EBITDA differently than the Company, and as a result, it may be difficult to use EBITDA, or similarly-named financial measures, that other companies may use to compare the performance of those companies to the Company’s performance.

Asset and capital expenditure information is not accounted for at the segment level and consequently is not reviewed or included with the Company’s internal management reporting. Therefore, the Company has not disclosed asset and capital expenditure information for each reportable segment.

Divesture
Divesture

NOTE O—DIVESTURE

In June 2013, the Company’s board of directors approved the sale of its expandable polystyrene (“EPS”) business within the Company’s Styrenics segment, under a sale and purchase agreement which was signed in July 2013. The sale closed on September 30, 2013 and the Company received $15.2 million of sales proceeds during the third quarter of 2013, subject to a $0.7 million working capital adjustment, which was paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and is reflected within investing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for that period.

 

EPS business results of operations were not classified as discontinued operations as the Company will have significant continuing cash flows as a result of a long-term supply agreement of styrene monomer to the EPS business, which was entered into contemporaneously with the sale and purchase agreement. The supply agreement will have an initial term of approximately 10 years from the closing date of the sale and will continue year-to-year thereafter. Under the supply agreement, we will supply a minimum of approximately 77 million pounds and maximum of approximately 132 million pounds of styrene monomer annually or equivalent to 70% to 100% of the EPS business’s historical production consumption.

Restructuring
Restructuring

NOTE P—RESTRUCTURING

In July 2013, the Company’s board of directors approved the plan to close the Company’s latex manufacturing facility in Altona, Australia. This restructuring plan was a strategic business decision to improve the results of the overall Latex segment. The facility manufactured SB latex used in the carpet and paper markets. Production at the facility ceased in the third quarter of 2013, followed by decommissioning, with demolition expected throughout 2014. As a result of the plant closure, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 (none of which were recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2013). These charges consisted of property, plant and equipment and other asset impairment charges, employee termination benefit charges, contract termination charges, and decommissioning charges, of which approximately $4.8 million remained accrued on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded additional restructuring charges of approximately $0.6 million, related to incremental employee termination benefit charges and decommissioning costs. These charges were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and were allocated entirely to the Latex segment. The remaining employee termination benefits, contract termination costs, and decommissioning costs are recorded in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE S—SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes by Trinseo Materials Operating S.C.A. and Trinseo Materials Finance, Inc. (the “Issuers”), this supplemental guarantor financial statement disclosure is included in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by Trinseo S.A. (the “Parent Guarantor”) and by certain subsidiaries (together, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100 percent owned by the Company. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, guarantee the Senior Notes (together, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Senior Notes, excluding the Parent Guarantor, will be automatically released from those guarantees upon the occurrence of certain customary release provisions.

The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information is presented to comply with the Company’s requirements under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X:

 

    the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013;

 

    the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013; and

 

    the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented using the equity method of accounting for its investments in 100 percent owned subsidiaries. Under the equity method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share of the subsidiaries cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The elimination entries principally eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial information in this footnote should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented and other notes related thereto contained within this Quarterly Report.
