## Overview

ENVIRI Corp is a U.S.-based industrial services company organized around environmental services, waste and byproduct processing, and rail-related solutions. Its current business is centered on three reportable segments: Harsco Environmental, Clean Earth, and Harsco Rail, though the company has announced a separation and sale of Clean Earth to Veolia. The remaining business is being repositioned as a standalone company focused on industrial environmental services and rail technologies.

## Products & services

• Onsite environmental services for metal producers
• Industrial waste and byproduct processing
• Resource recovery and ecoproducts
• Road materials and agricultural aggregates
• Rail safety, diagnostics and related technology systems

- **Harsco Environmental services** (55%) — Onsite industrial environmental services, material processing, and resource recovery for metals customers.
- **Clean Earth waste services** (25%) — Hazardous and specialty waste handling and environmental services, now being sold to Veolia.
- **Harsco Rail systems** (15%) — Rail maintenance, safety, and diagnostics equipment and technology systems for rail operators.
- **Downstream ecoproducts** (5%) — Value-added products made from processed industrial materials, including road materials and aggregates.

- Onsite environmental services for steel and metals plants
- Industrial waste and byproduct stream management
- Resource recovery and downstream ecoproducts
- Road materials, agricultural products and aggregates
- Rail safety and diagnostics technology systems

## Customers

The core customer base is global steel and metals producers that outsource onsite environmental and material-processing work to reduce operating burden and improve efficiency. Harsco Environmental serves large integrated and mini-mill operators under long-term contracts, while Harsco Rail sells to rail infrastructure and rail network customers. Clean Earth historically served customers needing hazardous waste and specialty environmental services, but that business is being divested.

- **Global steel producers** (primary) — Buy onsite environmental services, material handling, and resource recovery to keep steelmaking efficient and compliant.
- **Mini-mill and integrated metals operators** (primary) — Use long-term service contracts for waste stream management and production-critical support at plant sites.
- **Rail infrastructure operators** (secondary) — Buy rail safety, diagnostics, and maintenance technology systems to improve network reliability and safety.
- **Hazardous and specialty waste customers** (secondary) — Historically bought Clean Earth services for regulated waste handling and disposal solutions.

- Steel and metals producers outsourcing onsite environmental work
- Large integrated and mini-mill operators at multiple sites
- Rail infrastructure and network operators buying safety systems
- Customers needing hazardous and specialty waste services
- Buyers seeking regulatory compliance and zero-waste solutions

## Geography

The company operates globally, with Harsco Environmental serving about 120 sites in roughly 30 countries and a customer base that spans the Americas, Europe, and growth markets such as India. Its operating costs and revenues are often denominated in local currencies, which partially offsets foreign exchange exposure but does not eliminate it. Geography matters because the business is tied to local industrial activity, regulation, tariffs, and cross-border trade conditions. The company also noted new U.S. tariffs and EU steel trade actions as factors it is assessing.

- **Global operations** (100%) — The filing discloses a broad international footprint but not a country revenue table.

- Operations span about 30 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia
- Harsco Environmental serves roughly 120 sites globally
- India is a recent growth market for new service contracts
- Local-currency revenues and costs partially reduce FX mismatch
- U.S. tariffs and EU steel trade actions may affect demand and costs

## Strategy

Management is focused on reshaping the portfolio through the planned sale of Clean Earth and the separation of the remaining Harsco Environmental and Harsco Rail businesses into New Enviri. Within the operating businesses, the strategy emphasizes long-term contracts, stronger underwriting, innovation, and downstream product expansion such as SteelPhalt road materials. The goal is to improve consistency, reduce risk, and concentrate capital on businesses with clearer industrial and environmental value propositions.

- **Portfolio separation and simplification** (short-term) — The company is restructuring to create a standalone New Enviri and monetize Clean Earth, which should sharpen strategic focus.
- **Downstream product expansion** (medium-term) — Value-added products can improve margins and diversify revenue beyond pure services.
- **Contract quality and operational consistency** (short-term) — Long-term contracts and tighter underwriting reduce earnings volatility and protect returns on invested capital.

- Complete the Clean Earth sale and separate New Enviri
- Focus capital on Harsco Environmental and Harsco Rail
- Expand downstream products such as SteelPhalt road materials
- Use innovation to solve customer environmental challenges
- Strengthen contract terms and underwriting discipline

## Risks

The business is exposed to execution risk from the Clean Earth sale and separation, which could disrupt customers, employees, suppliers, and financing needs. It also faces cyclical industrial demand, trade policy changes, foreign exchange volatility, and technology/cybersecurity risks because it operates across many countries and relies on customer sites and connected systems. Rail contracts and environmental service contracts can also create estimate risk when forward loss provisions or long-term project assumptions change.

- **Merger and separation execution risk** [high] — The planned Clean Earth sale and New Enviri separation must clear conditions and could be delayed or terminated.
- **Cyclical industrial demand** [high] — Harsco Environmental depends on steel and metals production volumes, which can fall in downturns.
- **Trade policy and tariff changes** [medium] — U.S. tariffs and EU steel actions can alter customer production patterns and cross-border economics.
- **Cybersecurity and third-party systems risk** [high] — A successful attack could disrupt operations, damage data integrity, and create liability.
- **Contract and project estimate risk** [high] — Rail and long-term service contracts may require forward loss provisions and revised assumptions.

- Clean Earth sale and separation may fail or create disruption
- Industrial demand can weaken with steel and rail market cycles
- Tariffs and trade tensions may affect customer activity and costs
- Cyberattacks could disrupt operations and expose confidential data
- Long-term contracts can require forward loss provisions and estimates

## Accounting

Revenue recognition is important because the company uses long-term service contracts, some with fixed fees or minimum billings and others with variable fees tied to production or waste processed. Management also relies on significant estimates for forward loss provisions, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, pension obligations, and long-lived asset recoverability, all of which can move reported earnings materially. Foreign currency translation and seasonal cash flow patterns also affect comparability across quarters and years.

- **Over-time revenue recognition on service contracts** — Revenue timing and gross margin
- **Forward loss provisions in Rail** — Cost of services and operating income
- **Goodwill and intangible asset impairment** — Noncash impairment charges and segment earnings
- **Pension and actuarial estimates** — Equity, OCI and balance sheet obligations
- **Foreign currency translation** — Revenue, expenses and accumulated OCI

- Long-term service contracts affect revenue timing and margin recognition
- Rail forward loss provisions can change reported cost of sales
- Goodwill and intangible impairments can create large noncash charges
- Pension and actuarial assumptions affect OCI and liabilities
- Foreign currency translation affects revenue, costs and equity
