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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders' equity for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. 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, 2023 (2023 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report 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.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 preliminary 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 preliminary estimates of fair value and based on information currently available. We are continuing to finalize the valuation of certain assets and liabilities and expect to complete our valuations within one year of the date of acquisition. 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.

We are accounting 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 (ASC 805) and have included the results of operations of the acquired business in our Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of acquisition, 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 from the date of acquisition through June 30, 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.


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 and June 30, 2023, 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 and June 30, 2023 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 and are instead reflected in 2023 pro forma income before income taxes as though they were incurred during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 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. Prepayments from our customers totaled $6.5 million at June 30, 2024, primarily from specialty materials segment customers, and $0.3 million at December 31, 2023. 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 to estimated amounts 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.

6. Earnings Per Share

We had 34,538 shares of nonvested restricted stock at June 30, 2024 and 34,448 shares of nonvested restricted stock at June 30, 2023 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.
