What's Driving NEU's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

AI-extracted from NEWMARKET CORP's 10-Q filed 2026-04-23 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

NewMarket's Q1 2026 net sales fell 4.5% to $669.7M, driven by petroleum additives shipment weakness, though specialty materials benefited from Calca acquisition.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $669.7M-4.5% YoY

Petroleum additives$609.8M-5.5% YoY

Lower lubricant additives shipments across most regions due to market softness, partially offset by modest fuel additives growth.

Specialty materials$58.1M+8.2% YoY

Inclusion of Calca acquisition (closed October 1, 2025) revenues, partially offset by unfavorable product shipment mix at AMPAC.

All other$1.8M+5.2% YoY

Antiknock compounds and contracted manufacturing operations.

Largest Expense Items

Cost of goods sold$448.8M-3.5% YoY

Favorable raw material costs partially offset by higher operating costs; petroleum additives COGS was 67.1% of net sales vs. 67.8% prior year.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses$46.0M+7.1% YoY

Petroleum additives SG&A increased $1.2M due to personnel-related costs; no significant changes in cost drivers.

Research, development, and testing expenses$31.6M-4.1% YoY

Petroleum additives R&D decreased $1.5M; represents 5.2% of petroleum additives net sales vs. 5.1% prior year.

Interest and financing expenses, net$8.8M-18.0% YoY

Lower average debt outstanding and lower average interest rate (4.8% in Q1 2026 vs. 5.3% in full-year 2025).

Margins: Petroleum additives operating profit margin was 22.1% in Q1 2026 vs. 22.0% in Q1 2025; rolling four-quarter margin of 20.5% remains within historical range. Specialty materials margin declined significantly due to unfavorable product shipment mix at AMPAC, with operating profit falling from $23.2M to $12.4M.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • Petroleum additives segment volume declined 6.9% YoY, reflecting market softness particularly in lubricant additives across most regions. Management expects impacts to continue during 2026.
  • Calca acquisition ($218M in October 2025) with $171M intangible assets recorded; $48M goodwill recognized. Preliminary purchase price allocation still subject to adjustment within one-year measurement period.
  • Long-term debt increased to $939.6M from $883.4M (mainly due to $106M net borrowings under revolving credit facility); debt-to-capitalization ratio rose to 35.2% from 33.2% due to increased debt and reduced shareholders' equity from share repurchases.
  • Environmental accruals of $12M at Q1 2026 (vs. $14M at year-end 2025) for sites including former Baton Rouge and Houston facilities; company believes currently adequately accrued but unexpected costs could significantly impact results.
