1. Financial Statement Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of NewMarket Corporation and its subsidiaries contain all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and our consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders' equity for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the NewMarket Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021. The December 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company,” and “NewMarket” are to NewMarket Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
2. Net Sales
Our revenues are primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of petroleum additives products. We sell petroleum additives products across the world to customers located in the North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Europe/Middle East/Africa/India (EMEAI) regions. Our customers primarily consist of global, national, and independent oil companies. Our contracts generally include one performance obligation, which is providing petroleum additives products. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when products are shipped, delivered, or consumed by the customer, depending on the underlying contracts.
In limited cases, we collect funds in advance of shipping product to our customers and recognizing the related revenue. These prepayments from customers are recorded as a contract liability to our customer until we recognize the revenue. Some of our contracts include variable consideration in the form of rebates or business development funds. We regularly review both rebates and business development funds and make adjustments when necessary, recognizing the full amount of any adjustment in the period identified.
The following table provides information on our net sales by geographic area. Information on net sales by segment is in Note 3.

5. Earnings Per Share
We had 26,618 shares of nonvested restricted stock at September 30, 2021 and 19,963 shares of nonvested restricted stock at September 30, 2020 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.
The nonvested restricted stock is considered a participating security since the restricted stock contains nonforfeitable rights to dividends. As such, we use the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented since this method yields the most dilutive result. The following table illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

6. Marketable Securities
During May 2021, NewMarket invested in both debt and equity marketable securities. The debt securities are designated as trading. The marketable securities are recorded on a settlement date basis at estimated fair value and are classified as current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses, as well as the investment income attributable to the debt and equity securities, are reported in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The debt securities have a cost basis of $ 50 million and the equity securities have a cost basis of $ 332 million at September 30, 2021. The fair value of both the debt and equity securities are shown in the second table below.
The portion of unrealized gains and losses for the period related to both the debt and equity securities still held at the reporting date are as follows:

Unrealized gains and (losses) recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at the reporting date $ ( 813 ) $ ( 3,183 )
The following table provides information on the fair value of the marketable securities, as well as the related level within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of debt securities is based on reported trades of the debt security adjusted for other observable market data including, but not limited to, benchmark yield curves, market-based quotes of similar assets, and other market-corroborated inputs. The estimated fair value of equity securities is based on actively quoted market prices.

Senior Notes - On March 18, 2021, we issued $ 400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.70 % senior notes due 2031. The 2.70 % senior notes are general unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with our other unsecured senior indebtedness. The offer and sale of the notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We incurred financing costs in 2021 of approximately $ 4 million related to the 2.70 % senior notes, which are being amortized over the term of the notes.
The indenture governing the 2.70 % senior notes includes certain customary covenants that, among other things and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:
• grant liens to secure indebtedness;
• engage in sale and lease back transactions;
• merge or consolidate with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to a third party.
The outstanding 4.10 % senior notes are unsecured, with an aggregate principal amount of $ 350 million and are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The outstanding 3.78 % senior notes are unsecured and were issued in a 2017 private placement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and certain other purchasers.
We were in compliance with all covenants under all issuances of outstanding senior notes as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
We are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to our business and may include administrative or judicial actions. Some of these legal proceedings involve governmental authorities and relate to environmental matters. For further information, see Environmental below.
While it is not possible to predict or determine with certainty the outcome of any legal proceeding, we believe the outcome of any of these proceedings, or all of them combined, will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Environmental
We are involved in environmental proceedings and potential proceedings relating to soil and groundwater contamination, disposal of hazardous waste, and other environmental matters at several of our current or former facilities, or at third-party sites where we have been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP). While we believe we are currently adequately accrued for known environmental issues, it is possible that unexpected future costs could have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our total accruals for environmental remediation, dismantling, and decontamination were approximately $ 9 million at September 30, 2021 and $ 10 million at December 31, 2020. Of the total accrual, the current portion is included in accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our more significant environmental sites include a former plant site in Louisiana and a Houston, Texas plant site. Together, the amounts accrued on a discounted basis related to these sites represented approximately $ 7 million of the total accrual above at September 30, 2021 and $ 8 million at December 31, 2020, using discount rates ranging from 3 % to 9 % for both periods. The aggregate undiscounted amount for these sites was $ 9 million at both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
