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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders' equity for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. 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, 2024 (2024 Annual Report), as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company,” and “NewMarket” are to NewMarket Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Supplier Finance Program
We offer our vendors a supplier finance program, which allows our vendors to receive payment from a third-party finance provider earlier than our normal payment terms would provide. NewMarket and its subsidiaries are not a party to any arrangement between our vendors and the finance provider, and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided by NewMarket to the finance provider. For those vendors who opt to participate in the program, we pay the finance provider the full amount of the invoices on the normal due date. At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of confirmed invoices under the supplier finance program was not material.
2. Acquisition of Business
On January 16, 2024, we completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding ownership units of AMPAC Intermediate Holdings, LLC, the ultimate parent company of American Pacific Corporation (AMPAC), for approximately $ 697 million. Based in Cedar City, Utah, AMPAC has one operating facility from which it manufactures and sells critical specialty materials primarily used in solid rocket motors for space launch and military defense applications. AMPAC is qualified on many NASA and Department of Defense programs and has been serving space launch and national defense programs for more than 60 years. The acquisition of AMPAC expands our presence in mission-critical, resilient sectors. It was funded by cash on hand and borrowings under our then existing revolving credit facility. The purchase consideration was subject to a customary post-closing adjustment for working capital, which was finalized during the second quarter of 2024.
The fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the AMPAC acquisition are as follows (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents $ 16
Trade and other accounts receivable, net 6
Inventories 25
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 3
Property, plant, and equipment, net 111
Intangibles and goodwill 650
Deferred charges and other assets 5
Accounts payable ( 3 )
Accrued expenses ( 5 )
Other noncurrent liabilities ( 111 )
Fair value of net assets acquired $ 697

Identified intangible assets acquired consisted of the following (in millions):
Fair Value Estimated Useful Lives (in years)
Customer base $ 275 17.5
Formulas and technology 60 8
Trademarks and trade names 30 15
Water rights 29 indefinite
$ 394
As part of the acquisition, we recorded $ 256 million of goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable to increased access to mission-critical, resilient sectors with a role in global safety, security, and space exploration, as well as the value of the skilled assembled workforce of AMPAC. All of the goodwill recognized is part of the specialty materials segment, and none of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.
The allocation of the purchase price of AMPAC to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was developed using estimates of fair value. Acquisition-related charges of $ 1 million consisted primarily of legal and professional fees and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024.
We accounted for this acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations and have included the results of operations of the acquired business from the date of acquisition in our Consolidated Statements of Income as well as in the specialty materials segment in Note 4. These results include a charge related to the sale of finished goods inventory acquired, which was recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and sold to customers during 2024.
The following table presents the financial results in thousands for AMPAC from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2024 and for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (in thousands).
AMPAC Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2024 January 16 to
June 30, 2024
Net sales $ 38,010 $ 55,057
Income (loss) before income taxes 4,923 ( 78 )
The following table presents our estimated unaudited pro forma consolidated results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, assuming the acquisition of AMPAC had occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been realized if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of 2023, nor is it indicative of expected results for any future period. In addition, no effect is given to any future synergistic benefits that could result from the integration of AMPAC into NewMarket.
Unaudited pro forma information for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 includes adjustments to depreciation and amortization based upon the fair value allocation of the purchase price to AMPAC's tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as though the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, as well as adjustments for debt-related costs and management fees. The acquisition-related costs and the charge related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory were recognized in actual results during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, but for the presentation below, these costs are excluded from 2024 unaudited pro forma income before income taxes since on a pro forma basis, they would have been incurred during 2023.

3. Net Sales
Our revenues are predominantly 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 (the United States and Canada), Latin America (Mexico, Central America, and South America), Asia Pacific, and EMEAI (Europe/Middle East/Africa/India) regions. Our petroleum additives customers primarily consist of global, national, and independent oil companies. Our petroleum additives contracts generally include one performance obligation, which is satisfied at a point in time when products are shipped, delivered, or consumed by the customer, depending on the underlying contracts.
Additionally, we have revenue from the manufacture and sale of critical specialty materials products used primarily in solid rocket motors for space launch and military defense applications. The sale of specialty materials products is predominantly to customers located in the United States, with limited amounts to customers in other countries. Our specialty materials customers are primarily contractors or subcontractors of the U.S. government. Specialty materials contracts generally include one performance obligation, which is typically satisfied at a point in time when the products are shipped from the plant site.
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 until we recognize the revenue. Some of our contracts also include variable consideration in the form of rebates, tiered pricing, and/or business development funds. We regularly review these 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 presented in Note 4.

4. Segment Information
We have two reportable segments – petroleum additives and specialty materials. The petroleum additives segment includes lubricant and fuel additives which are necessary for the efficient and reliable operation of vehicles and machinery. The specialty materials segment includes critical materials used in solid rocket motors for space launch and military defense applications. The petroleum additives and specialty materials segments are managed separately by the president of Afton and the president of AMPAC, respectively. The “All other” category shown in the tables below includes the operations of the antiknock compounds business, as well as certain contracted manufacturing and related services associated with Ethyl.
We have determined that our chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker (CODM) who makes key operating decisions and assesses the performance of the reportable segments. The CODM evaluates performance based on segment operating profit and considers budgeted and forecasted variances to actual results in allocating resources to the segments.
The segment accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 1 of our 2024 Annual Report. NewMarket Services expenses are billed to Afton, AMPAC, and Ethyl based on the services provided. Depreciation on segment property, plant, and equipment, as well as amortization of segment definite-lived intangible assets and lease right-of-use assets are included in segment operating profit. No transfers occurred between any of the petroleum additives segment, specialty materials segment, and the “All other” category during the periods presented.
The table below reports net sales and operating profit by segment, as well as a reconciliation to income before income tax expense, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total net sales in any period presented.

6. Earnings Per Share
We had 37,202 shares of nonvested restricted stock at June 30, 2025 and 34,538 shares of nonvested restricted stock at June 30, 2024 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.

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. 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 $ 11 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 Baton Rouge, Louisiana and a Houston, Texas plant site. Together, the amounts accrued on a discounted basis related to these sites represented approximately $ 8 million of the total accrual above at June 30, 2025 and $ 9 million at December 31, 2024, using discount rates ranging from 3 % to 9 % for both periods. The aggregate undiscounted amount for these sites was $ 10 million at June 30, 2025 and $ 11 million at December 31, 2024.
Leases
At June 30, 2025, we had commitments of approximately $ 4 million for finance leases that have not yet commenced.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09). The FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to enhance the transparency and decision-making usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring additional information on an entity's tax rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 was effective for our annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2025. The required disclosures will be included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" (ASU 2024-03). The FASB issued ASU 2024-03 to improve disclosures surrounding expenses in commonly presented captions including Cost of goods sold; Selling, general, and administrative expenses; and Research, development, and testing expenses. The additional expense information required to be disclosed includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible assets amortization, and total selling expenses, as well as a qualitative description of amounts remaining that have not been separately presented. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2027, and our quarterly reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
