EXHIBIT 99.1 November 28, 2023
Legal Discussion Continuing Operations Financial results are presented
on a continuing operations basis, which excludes the Performance Materials business and Performance Chemicals business unless otherwise indicated. Forward-Looking Statements Some of the information contained in this presentation, the conference call
during which this presentation is reviewed and any discussions that follow constitutes “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,”
“plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects” and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and
assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.
Examples of forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, our future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, goals, strategies, capital allocation programs (including our share repurchase program),
product and service offerings, and expected end use demand trends and 2023-2028 financial goals. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of
these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, including tariffs and trade disputes, currency exchange rates, effects of inflation, and other factors,
including those described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our filings with the SEC, which are available on the
SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this presentation, the conference call during which this presentation is reviewed and any discussions that follow speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors
or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, Organic Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted free cash
flow, net debt leverage ratio, return on average net tangible assets, and cash conversion, which are provided to assist in an understanding of our business and its performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as
supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with consolidated financials prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP
measures to the relevant GAAP measures are provided in the appendix of this presentation. In reliance upon the unreasonable efforts exemption provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation
of the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts necessary for such a reconciliation such as certain
non-cash, nonrecurring or other items that are included in net income and EBITDA as well as the related tax impacts of these items and asset dispositions / acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates that are included in cash flow,
due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs. Because this information is uncertain, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be
material to future results. 2

each adjustment, see appendix Descriptions for reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures * Rounding discrepancies may arise when rounding results from dollars (in thousands) to dollars (in millions) 72
Descriptions for reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures a. We
use Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure to evaluate our financial results. Because our Catalyst Technologies segment includes our 50% interest in the Zeolyst Joint Venture, we include an adjustment for our 50% proportionate share of
depreciation, amortization and interest expense of the Zeolyst Joint Venture. b. Represents the amortization of the fair value adjustments associated with the equity affiliate investment in the Zeolyst Joint Venture as a result of the combination of
the businesses of PQ Holdings Inc. and Eco Services Operations LLC in May 2016. We determined the fair value of the equity affiliate investment and the fair value step-up was then attributed to the underlying assets of the Zeolyst Joint Venture.
Amortization is primarily related to the fair value adjustments associated with intangible assets, including customer relationships and technical know-how. c. When asset disposals occur, we remove the impact of net gain/loss of the disposed asset
because such impact primarily reflects the non-cash write-off of long-lived assets no longer in use. d. Reflects the exclusion of the foreign currency transaction gains and losses in the statements of income related to the non-permanent intercompany
debt denominated in local currency translated to U.S. dollars. e. Represents non-cash adjustments to the Company’s LIFO reserves for certain inventories in the U.S. that are valued using the LIFO method, effectively reflecting the results as
if these inventories were valued using the FIFO method, which we believe provides a means of comparison to other companies that may not use the same basis of accounting for inventories. f. Relates to certain transaction costs, including debt
financing, due diligence and other costs related to transactions that are completed, pending or abandoned, that we believe are not representative of our ongoing business operations. g. Includes the impact of restructuring, integration and business
optimization expenses, which are incremental costs that are not representative of our ongoing business operations. h. Represents a non-cash gain on the write-off of the remaining liability under a contractual supply arrangement. As part of Eco
Services LLC’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Solvay USA Inc.’s sulfuric acid refining services business unit on December 1, 2014, we recognized a liability as part of business combination accounting related to our
obligation to serve a customer under a pre-existing unfavorable supply agreement. In December 2018, the customer who was party to the agreement closed its facility, and as a result, we were relieved from our obligation to continue to supply the
customer on the below market contract. Because the fair value of the unfavorable contract liability was recognized as part of the application of business combination accounting, and since the write-off of the remaining liability was non-cash in
nature, we believe this gain is a special item that is not representative of our ongoing business operations. i. Other consists of adjustments for items that are not core to our ongoing business operations. These adjustments include environmental
remediation and other legal costs, expenses for capital and franchise taxes, and defined benefit pension and postretirement plan (benefits) costs, for which our obligations are under plans that are frozen. Also included in this amount are
adjustments to eliminate the benefit realized in cost of goods sold of the allocation of a portion of the contract manufacturing payments under the five-year agreement with the buyer of the Performance Chemicals business to the financing obligation
under the failed sale-leaseback. Included in this line-item are rounding discrepancies that may arise from rounding from dollars (in thousands) to dollars (in millions). 73
