NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
As used herein, the terms “Company,” “Rogers,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms mean Rogers Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. For further information regarding our accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, our allowance for doubtful accounts, equity compensation, the carrying value of our goodwill, other intangible assets as well as other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition.
Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
As a result of our pension termination and settlement efforts in late 2019 and the first half of 2020, we have a pension surplus investment balance, which is now accounted for as an available-for-sale investment as of June 2020. For additional information regarding this balance, refer to “Note 11 – Pension Benefits and Other Postretirement Benefits.” Available-for-sale investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized by the level of inputs used in the valuation, were as follows:

(1) This balance was invested in a fund comprised of fixed income and short-term cash securities, and was recorded in the “Other long-term assets” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of this investment approximated its carrying value.
From time to time we enter into various instruments that require fair value measurement, including foreign currency contracts, copper derivative contracts and interest rate swaps.

(1) All balances were recorded in the “Other current assets” or “Other accrued liabilities” line items in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, except the 2020 and 2019 interest rate swap balance, which was recorded in the “Other long-term liabilities” line item.
For additional information on derivative contracts, refer to “Note 3 – Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments.”
Note 3 – Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations. The primary risks being managed through our use of derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity pricing risk (primarily related to copper) and interest rate risk. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The valuation of derivative contracts used to manage each of these risks is described below:
•Foreign Currency – The fair value of any foreign currency option derivative is based upon valuation models applied to current market information such as strike price, spot rate, maturity date and volatility, and by reference to market values resulting from an over-the-counter market or obtaining market data for similar instruments with similar characteristics.
•Commodity – The fair value of copper derivatives is computed using a combination of intrinsic and time value valuation models, which are collectively a function of five primary variables: price of the underlying instrument, time to expiration, strike price, interest rate and volatility. The intrinsic valuation model reflects the difference between the strike price of the underlying copper derivative instrument and the current prevailing copper prices in an over-the-counter market at period end. The time value valuation model incorporates changes in the price of the underlying copper derivative instrument, the time value of money, the underlying copper derivative instrument’s strike price and the remaining time to the underlying copper derivative instrument’s expiration date from the period end date.
•Interest Rates – The fair value of interest rate swap instruments is derived by comparing the present value of the interest rate forward curve against the present value of the swap rate, relative to the notional amount of the swap. The net value represents the estimated amount we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements. Settlement amounts for an “in the money” swap would be adjusted down to compensate the counterparties for cost of funds, and the adjustment is directly related to the counterparties’ credit ratings.
The guidance for the accounting and disclosure of derivatives and hedging transactions requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment as defined under the applicable accounting guidance. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). This gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same line item of the condensed consolidated statements of operations associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, only our interest rate swap qualified for hedge accounting treatment as a cash flow hedge, and the hedge was highly effective.
Foreign Currency
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into U.S. dollar, Korean won, and euro forward contracts. We entered into these foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate certain global transactional exposures. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in “Other (expense) income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred.
As of June 30, 2020, the notional values of the remaining foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Commodity
As of June 30, 2020, we had 26 outstanding contracts to hedge exposure related to the purchase of copper in our Power Electronics Solutions (PES) and Advanced Connectivity Solutions (ACS) operating segments. These contracts are held with financial institutions and are intended to offset rising copper prices and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in “Other (expense) income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred.
As of June 30, 2020, the volume of our copper contracts outstanding was as follows:

Interest Rates
In March 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on $75.0 million of our $450.0 million revolving credit facility. This transaction has been designated as a cash flow hedge and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. For additional information regarding our revolving credit facility, refer to “Note 9 – Debt.”

In the table above, gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization may differ from prior periods due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Amortization expense was $7.6 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was $11.2 million and $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense is $30.8 million for the remainder of 2020 and $12.3 million, $11.8 million, $11.2 million and $9.9 million for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase in amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and decrease in forecasted amortization expense in future years, were due to the acceleration of amortization expense related to our Diversified Silicone Products, Inc. (DSP) customer relationships and trademarks and trade names definite-lived other intangible assets, which were both accelerated to be fully amortized by December 31, 2020. As part of our ongoing assessment of the useful lives of our definite-lived other intangible assets, we reviewed the deterioration of our DSP business and identified significant customer attrition, a sustained substantial decrease in net sales, as well as the planned phase-out of the DSP trademark and trade name by December 2020. Based on these events and circumstances, we concluded an adjustment to the remaining useful lives of our DSP customer relationships and trademarks and trade names definite-lived other intangible assets was warranted.
The weighted average amortization period as of June 30, 2020, by definite-lived other intangible asset class, was as follows:

Dilutive shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and primarily include unvested restricted stock units. Anti-dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted shares and diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 55,961 shares and 6,256 shares were excluded, respectively.
Note 8 – Capital Stock and Equity Compensation
Equity Compensation
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
As of June 30, 2020, we had performance-based restricted stock units from 2020, 2019, and 2018 outstanding. These awards generally cliff vest at the end of a three-year measurement period. However, employees whose employment terminates during the measurement period due to death, disability, or, in certain cases, retirement may receive a pro-rata payout based on the number of days they were employed during the measurement period. Participants are eligible to be awarded shares ranging from 0% to 200% of the original award amount, based on certain defined performance measures.
The outstanding awards have one measurement criterion: the three-year total shareholder return (TSR) on our capital stock as compared to that of a specified group of peer companies. The TSR measurement criterion of the awards is considered a market condition. As such, the fair value of this measurement criterion was determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. We recognize compensation expense on all of these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with no changes for final projected payout of the awards. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo calculation for each material award granted in 2020 and 2019:

Expected volatility – In determining expected volatility, we have considered a number of factors, including historical volatility.
Expected term – We use the vesting period of the award to determine the expected term assumption for the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.
Risk-free interest rate – We use an implied “spot rate” yield on U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date for our assumption of the risk-free interest rate.
Expected dividend yield – We do not currently pay dividends on our capital stock; therefore, a dividend yield of 0% was used in the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.

We recognized $1.3 million and $1.1 million of compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock units for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recognized $2.7 million and $2.0 million of compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
As of June 30, 2020, we had time-based restricted stock unit awards from 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 outstanding. The outstanding awards all ratably vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the original grant date. However, employees whose employment terminates during the measurement period due to death, disability, or, in certain cases, retirement may receive a pro-rata payout based on the number of days they were employed subsequent to the last grant anniversary date. Each time-based restricted stock unit represents a right to receive one share of Rogers’ capital stock at the end of the vesting period. The fair value of the award is determined by the market value of the underlying stock price at the grant date. We recognize
compensation expense on all of these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

We recognized $3.1 million and $2.9 million of compensation expense for time-based restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Deferred Stock Units
We grant deferred stock units to non-management directors. These awards are fully vested on the date of grant and the related shares are generally issued on the 13-month anniversary of the grant date unless the individual elects to defer the receipt of those shares. Each deferred stock unit results in the issuance of one share of Rogers’ capital stock. The grant of deferred stock units is typically done annually during the second quarter of each year. The fair value of the award is determined by the market value of the underlying stock price at the grant date.

Note 9 – Debt
In February 2017, we entered into a secured five-year credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the Third Amended Credit Agreement), which increased the principal amount of our revolving credit facility to up to $450.0 million borrowing capacity, with sublimits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes, and provided an additional $175.0 million accordion feature. Borrowings may be used to finance working capital needs, for letters of credit and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, including the financing of permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement).
All obligations under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement (the Guarantors). The obligations are also secured by a Third Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2017, entered into by us and the Guarantors which grants to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest, subject to certain exceptions, in substantially all of the non-real estate assets of the Guarantors. These assets include, but are not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries. All revolving loans are due on the maturity date, February 17, 2022.
Borrowings under the Third Amended Credit Agreement can be made as alternate base rate loans or euro-currency loans. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a base reference rate plus a spread of 37.5 to 75.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate is the greatest of (a) the prime rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (NYFRB) rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period in dollars on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) plus 1%. Euro-currency loans bear interest based on adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 137.5 to 175.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. Based on our leverage ratio as of June 30, 2020, the spread was 150.0 basis points.
In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, we are required to pay a quarterly fee of 20 to 30 basis points (based upon our leverage ratio) of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement.
The Third Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which our payment obligations may be accelerated. If an event of default occurs, the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees. The financial covenants include requirements to maintain (1) a leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to an election to increase the maximum leverage ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 for three fiscal quarters in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00.
The Third Amended Credit Agreement generally permits us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the dividend payment and (ii) our leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00, we may nonetheless make up to $20.0 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payments. Our leverage ratio did not exceed 2.75 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2020.
In March 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge the variable interest rate on $75.0 million of our $450.0 million revolving credit facility.
We borrowed $150.0 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility given current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We did not borrow anything further under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2020. We are not required to make any quarterly principal payments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. However, we made a $50.0 million discretionary principal payment on our revolving credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2020. We had $223.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2020.
We made a $125.0 million discretionary principal payment on our revolving credit facility on July 29, 2020, reducing our outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility to $98.0 million as of our filing date.
We incurred interest expense on our outstanding debt, net of the impacts of our interest rate swap, of $1.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2.9 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. We incurred immaterial unused commitment fees for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
We had $0.9 million and $1.2 million of outstanding line of credit issuance costs as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which will be amortized over the life of the Third Amended Credit Agreement. We recognized an immaterial amount of amortization expense for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, related to these deferred costs.
Note 10 - Leases
We have a finance lease obligation related to our manufacturing facility in Eschenbach, Germany. Under the terms of the lease agreement, we have an option to purchase the property upon the expiration of the lease in 2021 at a price which is the greater of (i) the then-current market value or (ii) the residual book value of the land including the buildings and installations thereon. Our finance lease obligation related to this facility was $4.4 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The finance lease right-of-use asset balance for this facility was $6.1 million and $6.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to this finance lease right-of-use asset was $3.9 million and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The aggregate of all other finance lease obligations, finance lease right-of-use assets and related accumulated amortization, were immaterial as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Amortization expense related to our finance lease right-of-use assets, which is primarily included in the “Cost of sales” line item of the condensed consolidated statements of operations, was immaterial for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Interest expense related to our finance lease obligations, which is included in the “Interest expense, net” line item of the condensed consolidated statements of operations, was immaterial for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Payments made on the principal portion of our finance lease obligations were immaterial for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
We have operating leases primarily related to building space and vehicles. Renewal options are included in the lease term to the extent we are reasonably certain to exercise the option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We account for lease components separately from non-lease components. The incremental borrowing rate represents our ability to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease term.

Note 11 – Pension Benefits and Other Postretirement Benefits
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
As of December 31, 2019, we had two qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. In June 2020, we completed the remaining settlement efforts for the Rogers Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan (following its merger with the Hourly Employees Pension Plan of Arlon LLC, Microwave Material and Silicone Technologies Divisions, Bear, Delaware (collectively, the Merged Plan)), which had been terminated and substantially settled in late 2019. As of June 30, 2020, only the
Rogers Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (the Union Plan), which was frozen and ceased accruing benefits, remained. There are no plans to terminate the Union Plan.
Additionally, we sponsor other postretirement benefit plans, including multiple fully insured or self-funded medical plans and life insurance plans for certain retirees. The measurement date for all plans is December 31st for each respective plan year.
Pension Plan Termination & Settlement
During the second quarter of 2019, following receipt of a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), we amended the Merged Plan to (a) terminate the Merged Plan (subject to discretionary approval by our Chief Executive Officer) and (b) add a lump sum distribution option in connection with the termination of the Merged Plan, if approved. We subsequently provided participants of the Merged Plan an option to elect either a lump sum distribution or an annuity.
On October 17, 2019, our Chief Executive Officer approved the termination of the Merged Plan. A group annuity contract was purchased with an insurance company for all participants who did not elect a lump sum distribution, for $123.3 million, with an initial cash settlement date of October 24, 2019, and a true-up cash settlement date of June 1, 2020. The insurance company became responsible for administering and paying pension benefit payments effective January 1, 2020.
Lump sum distributions of $38.9 million were paid out prior to December 31, 2019. The Merged Plan paid an additional $1.3 million of monthly pension benefit payments subsequent to the annuity purchase date during the transition period ending December 31, 2019.
In addition, we recorded a total non-cash pre-tax settlement charge in connection with the termination of the Merged Plan of $53.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, as well as an immaterial non-cash pre-tax settlement benefit during the second quarter of 2020. This net settlement amount recognized included the immediate recognition into expense of the related unrecognized losses within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the consolidated statements of financial position as of the plan termination date. The pension settlement charge during the fourth quarter of 2019 was recognized in the “Pension settlement charges” line item in the consolidated statements of operations, and the pension settlement benefit during the second quarter of 2020 was recognized in the “Pension settlement charges” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2020, the remaining pension surplus investment balance was approximately $9.7 million. We plan on using a portion of the funds to pay plan expenses, and moving the remainder funds from the pension trust to a defined contribution plan trust, where they will be used to fund certain employer contributions and pay plan expenses.
On July 27, 2020, we transferred $7.4 million of the pension surplus investment balance to a suspense account held within a trust for the Rogers Employee Savings and Investment Plan, a 401(k) plan for domestic employees.

Employer Contributions
There were no required or voluntary contributions made to our Merged Plan for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Additionally, there were no required or voluntary contributions made to our Union Plan for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and we are not required to make additional contributions to this plan for the remainder of 2020.
As there is no funding requirement for the other postretirement benefit plans, we funded these benefit payments as incurred, which were immaterial for each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, using cash from operations.
Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
We are currently engaged in the following material environmental and legal proceedings:
Voluntary Corrective Action Program
Our location in Rogers, Connecticut is part of the Connecticut Voluntary Corrective Action Program (VCAP). As part of this program, we partnered with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) to determine the corrective actions to be taken at the site related to contamination issues. We evaluated this matter and completed internal due diligence work related to the site in the fourth quarter of 2015. Remediation activities on the site are ongoing and are recorded as reductions to the accrual as they are incurred. We incurred $1.7 million of aggregate remediation costs through June 30, 2020, and the accrual for future remediation efforts is $1.0 million.
Asbestos
Overview
We, like many other industrial companies, have been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in courts across the country by persons alleging personal injury from exposure to products containing asbestos. We have never mined, milled, manufactured or marketed asbestos; rather, we made and provided to industrial users a limited number of products that contained encapsulated asbestos, but we stopped manufacturing these products in the late 1980s. Most of the claims filed against us involve numerous defendants, sometimes as many as several hundred.
The following table summarizes the change in number of asbestos claims outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

Impact on Financial Statements
We recognize a liability for asbestos-related contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, we record asbestos-related insurance receivables that are deemed probable.
The liability projection period covers all current and future indemnity and defense costs through 2064, which represents the expected end of our asbestos liability exposure with no further ongoing claims expected beyond that date. This conclusion was based on our history and experience with the claims data, the diminished volatility and consistency of observable claims data, the period of time that has elapsed since we stopped manufacturing products that contained encapsulated asbestos and an expected downward trend in claims due to the average age of our claimants, which is approaching the average life expectancy.
To date, the indemnity and defense costs of our asbestos-related product liability litigation have been substantially covered by insurance. Although we have exhausted coverage under some of our insurance policies, we believe that we have applicable primary, excess and/or umbrella coverage for claims arising with respect to most of the years during which we manufactured and marketed asbestos-containing products. In addition, we have entered into a cost sharing agreement with most of our primary, excess and umbrella insurance carriers to facilitate the ongoing administration and payment of claims covered by the carriers. The cost sharing agreement may be terminated by any party, but will continue until a party elects to terminate it. As of the filing date for this report, the agreement has not been terminated, and no carrier had informed us it intended to terminate the agreement. We expect to continue to exhaust individual primary, excess and umbrella coverages over time, and there is no assurance that such exhaustion will not accelerate due to additional claims, damages and settlements or that coverage will be available as expected. We are responsible for uninsured indemnity and defense costs, and we incurred an immaterial amount of expenses for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to such costs.
The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related liability and the related insurance receivables are based on facts known at the time and a number of assumptions. However, projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of such claims, the length of time it takes to dispose of such claims, coverage issues among insurers and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation in the United States, could cause the actual liability and insurance recoveries for us to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded.
Changes recorded in the estimated liability and estimated insurance recovery based on projections of asbestos litigation and corresponding insurance coverage, result in the recognition of expense or income.
Our projected asbestos-related liabilities and insurance receivables were as follows:

General
In addition to the above issues, the nature and scope of our business brings us in regular contact with the general public and a variety of businesses and government agencies. Such activities inherently subject us to the possibility of litigation, including environmental and product liability matters that are defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. We have established accruals for matters for which management considers a loss to be probable and reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that facts known at the present time do not indicate that such litigation will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Note 13 – Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 30.6% and 22.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase from the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to the increase in current quarter accruals of reserves for uncertain tax positions and higher tax impact on unremitted foreign earnings and profits, partially offset by the beneficial impact of changes in valuation allowance related to research and development (R&D) credits, pretax mix across jurisdictions with disparate tax rates and the international provisions from the U.S. tax reform enacted in 2017. Our effective income tax rate was 26.1% and 18.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase from the first half of 2019 was primarily due to the increase in current quarter accruals of reserves for uncertain tax positions, the decrease in excess tax deductions on stock-based compensation and higher tax impact on unremitted foreign earnings and profits, partially offset by the beneficial impact of changes in valuation allowance related to R&D credits and pretax mix across jurisdictions with disparate tax rates.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020 was $14.2 million, of which $13.8 million would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. As of June 30, 2020, we had $0.9 million accrued for the payment of interest.
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2015.
Note 14 – Operating Segment Information
Our reporting structure is comprised of the following strategic operating segments: ACS, Elastomeric Material Solutions (EMS) and PES.

Note 16 – Recent Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued after reference rate reform. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions to accounting under GAAP for contract modifications that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this update were effective as of March 12, 2020 and we may elect to apply the amendments to contract modifications or hedging relationships entered into through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Standards Reflected in Our 2020 Financial Statements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the incurred loss model with a new expected loss impairment model that applies to certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables and contract assets. We adopted this update in January 2020 using the modified-retrospective approach, and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
