The Company's operations consist of two reportable segments: Harsco Environmental and Harsco Clean Earth. The Harsco Environmental Segment operates primarily under long-term contracts, providing critical environmental services and material processing to the global steel and metals industries, including zero waste solutions for manufacturing byproducts within the metals industry. The Harsco Clean Earth Segment provides waste management services including transportation, specialty waste processing, recycling and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous waste and soil and dredged materials. The Company has locations in approximately 30 countries, including theU.S. The Company was incorporated in 1956. The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook across all businesses supported by favorable underlying growth characteristics in its businesses and investments by the Company to further supplement growth. The Company's view for the remainder of 2022 and beyond is supported by the below factors, which should be considered in the context of other risks, trends and strategies in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 . •Harsco Environmental's 2022 results are expected to be below prior-year performance primarily due to the impacts of inflation, foreign exchange translation, exited contracts, lower service and ecoproducts volumes largely attributable to the energy-crisis inEurope and certain items recognized in the prior year such as the recovery ofBrazil non-income tax expense and asset sale gains not repeating, partially offset by higher environmental services demand at certain sites. The global steel market is currently experiencing a period of volatility due to the Russian-Ukraine conflict and the resulting energy crisis inEurope , as well as a change to the economic conditions due to rising interest rates which is expected to impact Harsco Environmental's performance in the coming quarters. To mitigate the impact of the pressures, the Company is taking action through lowering overall spending and capital expenditures to support its financial results and cash flows. Over the longer-term, the Company expects that the Harsco Environmental Segment's growth will be driven by economic growth that supports higher global steel consumption as well as investments and innovation that support the environmental solutions needs of customers. •Harsco Clean Earth results in 2022 are anticipated to be below prior-year levels due to unprecedented inflation in certain operating costs, including transportation, containers and disposal, and challenges related to labor availability. These impacts will be partially offset by commercial initiatives and cost-reduction actions. Clean Earth has implemented a number of actions that have improved profitability in the third quarter of 2022 and are expected to support financial results for the remainder of the year. These actions include price increases and additional cost and efficiency initiatives focused on mitigating the impact of these inflationary costs. Long-term, the Company expects this segment to benefit from positive underlying market trends, supported by increased environmental regulation, further growth opportunities and its attractive asset position, as well as from the less cyclical and recurring nature of this business.

Interest expense during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 increased by$3.9 million , compared with the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . The increase during the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 primarily relates to higher weighted average interest rates, in addition to higher borrowings, related to the amended Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Facility Fees and Debt-Related Income (Expense) During the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Company recognized expense of$2.5 million and$0.9 million , respectively, which included fees related to amending its Senior Secured Credit Facilities and fees related to the Company's Account Receivable Securitization Facility. A$2.3 million gain on the repurchase of$25.0 million of Senior Notes recognized during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 partially offset these expenses. See Note 9, Debt and Credit Agreements, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements.
During the three and nine months ended
37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Defined Benefit Pension Income Defined benefit pension income for the third quarter of 2022 was$2.1 million , compared with defined benefit pension income of$3.9 million during the third quarter of 2021. Defined benefit pension income for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was$6.8 million , compared with defined benefit pension income of$11.8 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . The decrease is primarily the result of a lower assumed rate of return on plan assets atDecember 31, 2021 . Income Tax Benefit (Expense) Income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was$9.4 million and$7.5 million , respectively, compared with$7.8 million and$14.7 million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively. Income tax expense from continuing operations for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2022 compared with the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 increased primarily due to disallowed interest expense inU.S. due to lower taxable income, offset by lower operating income as a result of cost increases due to inflation. Income tax expense from continuing operations for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 compared with the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 decreased primarily from lower operating income as a result of cost increases due to inflation and labor shortages, and the tax benefit on a portion of the Harsco Clean Earth Segment goodwill impairment. Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Income (loss) from continuing operations was$1.4 million and$(110.4) million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively, compared to income from continuing operations of$7.3 million and$17.4 million for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively. The primary drivers for these increases are noted above. Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations The operating results of the former Harsco Rail Segment and costs directly attributable to the sale of the business, have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. In addition, this caption includes costs directly attributable to retained contingent liabilities of other previously disposed businesses. The decrease in income during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 was related primarily to the recognition of additional forward estimated loss provisions of$35.9 million for certain contracts in the Rail business, as well lower business performance due to reduced revenue for railway track maintenance equipment, when compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 . It is possible that the Company's overall estimate of liquidated damages, penalties and costs to complete these contracts may increase, which would result in an additional estimated forward loss provision at such time. See Note 3, Dispositions, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements. Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Total other comprehensive loss was$25.6 million and$42.7 million in the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively, compared with total other comprehensive income of$9.0 million and$10.1 million in the three and nine months ended ofSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively. The primary driver of these decreases is the strengthening of theU.S. dollar against certain currencies inclusive of the impact of foreign currency translation of cumulative unrecognized actuarial losses on the Company's pension obligations, reflective of the strengthening of theU.S dollar during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 .
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow Summary The Company currently expects to have sufficient financial liquidity and borrowing capacity to support the strategies within each of its businesses and its current operating and debt service needs. The Company currently expects operational and business needs to be met by cash provided by operations supplemented with borrowings from time to time, principally under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Company supplements the cash provided by operations with borrowings from time to time due to historical patterns of seasonal cash flow and the funding of various projects. The Company regularly assesses capital needs in the context of operational trends and strategic initiatives. 38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The Company's cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the following table: Nine Months Ended September 30 (In millions) 2022 2021 Net cash provided (used) by: Operating activities$ 131.2 $ 46.8 Investing activities (73.7) (88.8) Financing activities (50.8) 44.2
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash
(8.8) (1.8)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash
$ 0.4 Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 was$131.2 million , an increase in cash flows of$84.4 million from the first nine months of 2021. The primary drivers of this increase is due to the sale of$145.0 million of its accounts receivable through its AR Facility with PNC, partially offset by lower cash net income. Net cash used by investing activities - Net cash used by investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 was$73.7 million , an increase in cash flows of$15.1 million from the cash used in the first nine months of 2021. The increase is primarily due to decreased capital expenditure purchases and higher net proceeds received from the settlement of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, partially offset by a decrease in the proceeds from sales of assets in the Harsco Environmental Segment and payments made for settlements of interest rate swaps. Net cash (used) provided by financing activities - Net cash used by financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 was$50.8 million , a decrease of$95.0 million from the first nine months of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower net cash borrowings of$98.9 million in the first nine months of 2022, resulting from the use of the AR Facility proceeds to reduce long-term debt. Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash - The decrease is due to the impact of the significant strengthening of theU.S. dollar against certain currencies during the first nine months of 2022 on the global cash balances held by the Company in these currencies, including balances held in the Company's multicurrency cash pool.
Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations on an annual basis and borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, augmented by cash proceeds from asset sales. In addition, the Company has other bank credit facilities available throughout the world. The Company expects to continue to utilize all of these sources to meet future cash requirements for operations and growth initiatives. AR Facility The Company maintains a trade receivables securitization facility to accelerate cash flows from trade accounts receivable. Under the AR Facility, the Company and its designated subsidiaries continuously sell their trade receivables as they are originated to the wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote SPE. The SPE transfers ownership and control of qualifying receivables to PNC up to a maximum purchase commitment of$150.0 million . During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , the Company received proceeds of$145.0 million related to the facility.

Table of Contents September 30, 2022 Outstanding Outstanding Available (In millions) Facility Limit Balance Letters of Credit Credit Revolving credit facility (a U.S.-based$ 700.0 $ 353.0 $ 32.2$ 314.8 program) Debt Covenants The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a consolidated net debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant, which is not to exceed 5.50x for the quarter endingSeptember 30, 2022 and through and including the quarter endedDecember 31, 2023 and then decreasing quarterly until reaching 4.00x onDecember 31, 2024 . The Company's required coverage of consolidated interest charges is set at a minimum of 2.75x. The total net leverage ratio covenant applicable to the third quarter of 2024 and earlier is subject to a 0.50x decrease upon divestiture of the former Harsco Rail segment. AtSeptember 30, 2022 the Company was in compliance with these covenants, as the total net debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) was 5.03x and total interest coverage ratio was 3.67x. Based on balances and covenants in effect atSeptember 30, 2022 the Company could increase net debt by$120.3 million and remain in compliance with these debt covenants. Alternatively, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA could decrease by$21.9 million , and the Company would remain in compliance with these covenants. The Company believes it will continue to maintain compliance with these covenants based on its current outlook. However, the Company's estimates of compliance with these covenants could change in the future with a continued deterioration in economic conditions or an inability to successfully execute its plans to realize increased pricing and to implement cost reduction initiatives that substantially mitigate the impacts of inflation and other factors adversely impacting its realized operating margins. Cash Management The Company has various cash management systems throughout the world that centralize cash in various bank accounts where it is economically justifiable and legally permissible to do so. These centralized cash balances are then redeployed to other operations to reduce short-term borrowings and to finance working capital needs or capital expenditures. Due to the transitory nature of cash balances, they are normally invested in bank deposits that can be withdrawn at will or in very liquid short-term bank time deposits and government obligations. The Company's policy is to use the largest banks in the various countries in which the Company operates. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of banks and, when appropriate, will adjust banking operations to reduce or eliminate exposure to less creditworthy banks. AtSeptember 30, 2022 , the Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents included$78.5 million held by non-U.S. subsidiaries and approximately 17% of the Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents had regulatory restrictions that would preclude the transfer of funds with and among subsidiaries. Non-U.S. subsidiaries also held$16.4 million of cash and cash equivalents in consolidated strategic ventures. The strategic venture agreements may require strategic venture partner approval to transfer funds with and among subsidiaries. While the Company's remaining non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents can be transferred with and among subsidiaries, the majority of these non-U.S. cash balances will be used to support the ongoing working capital needs and continued growth of the Company's non-U.S. operations.
