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
Lower lubricant additives shipments across most regions due to market softness, partially offset by modest fuel additives growth.
Inclusion of Calca acquisition (closed October 1, 2025) revenues, partially offset by unfavorable product shipment mix at AMPAC.
Antiknock compounds and contracted manufacturing operations.
Largest Expense Items
Favorable raw material costs partially offset by higher operating costs; petroleum additives COGS was 67.1% of net sales vs. 67.8% prior year.
Petroleum additives SG&A increased $1.2M due to personnel-related costs; no significant changes in cost drivers.
Petroleum additives R&D decreased $1.5M; represents 5.2% of petroleum additives net sales vs. 5.1% prior year.
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.
