NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 statement of, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, and our changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. 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, 2013 (2013 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014. The December 31, 2013 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.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

2. Discontinued Operations

On July 2, 2013, Foundry Park I completed the sale of its real estate assets for $144 million in cash, which comprised our entire real estate development segment. The operations of the real estate development segment for all periods presented are reported in income from operations of discontinued business, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We recognized a gain of $36 million ($22 million after tax) in 2013 related to this transaction.

The components of income from operations of discontinued business, net of tax, were as follows:



(in thousands)	Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Rental revenue	$	31	$	5,747
Cost of rental	0		2,136
Interest, financing, and other expenses, net	0		2,728
Income before income tax expense	31		883
Income tax expense	11		343
Income from operations of discontinued business, net of tax	$	20	$	540

Interest and financing expenses, net include only amounts directly related to the Foundry Park I mortgage loan agreement (mortgage loan) and related interest rate swap. Other interest and financing expenses have not been allocated to discontinued operations. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows summarize the activity of discontinued operations and continuing operations together.

3. Segment Information

Income from continuing operations before income tax expense	$	84,261		$	82,200		$	265,973		$	268,489


(a)	The gain (loss) on interest rate swap agreement represents the change, since the beginning of the reporting period, in the fair value of an interest rate swap which we entered into on June 25, 2009. We are not using hedge accounting to record the interest rate swap, and accordingly, any change in the fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

The 2014 settlements and curtailments amounts reflect the termination of the Canadian hourly pension plan and the Canadian postretirement benefit plan and the curtailment of the Canadian salaried pension plan.

5. Earnings Per Share

We had 19,430 shares of nonvested restricted stock at September 30, 2014 and 11,585 shares of nonvested restricted stock at September 30, 2013. 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. The following table illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Information on certain commitments and contingencies follows.

Litigation

We are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to our business and include administrative or judicial actions seeking remediation under environmental laws, such as Superfund. Some of these legal proceedings relate to environmental matters and involve governmental authorities. 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.

As we previously disclosed, the United States Department of Justice has advised us that it is conducting a review of certain of our foreign business activities in relation to compliance with relevant U.S. economic sanctions programs and anti-corruption laws, as well as certain historical conduct in the domestic U.S. market, and has requested certain information in connection with such review. We are cooperating with the investigation. In connection with such cooperation, we have voluntarily agreed to provide certain information and are conducting an internal review for that purpose.

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). We accrue for environmental remediation and monitoring activities for which costs can be reasonably estimated and are probable. These estimates are based on an assessment of the site, available clean-up methods, and prior experience in handling remediation. Recorded liabilities are discounted to present value (including an inflation factor in the estimate) only if we can reliably determine the amount and timing of future cash payments. 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 financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our total accruals for environmental remediation, dismantling, and decontamination were approximately $18 million at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Our more significant environmental sites include a former TEL plant site in Louisiana (the Louisiana site) and a former Houston, Texas plant site (the Texas site). Together, the amounts accrued on a discounted basis related to these sites represent approximately $11 million of the total accrual above at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, using discount rates ranging from 3% to 9%. Of the total accrued for these two sites, the amount related to remediation of groundwater and soil at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $5 million for the Louisiana site and $6 million for the Texas site. The aggregate undiscounted amount for these sites was $15 million at September 30, 2014 and $16 million at December 31, 2013.

In 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named us as a PRP under Superfund law for the clean-up of soil and groundwater contamination at the five grouped disposal sites known as "Sauget Area 2 Sites" in Sauget, Illinois. Without admitting any fact, responsibility, fault, or liability in connection with this site, we are participating with other PRPs in site investigations and feasibility studies. In December 2013, the EPA issued its Record of Decision confirming its remedies for the selected Sauget Area 2 sites. We have accrued our estimated proportional share of the remedial costs and expenses addressed in the Record of Decision. We do not believe there is any additional information available as a basis for revision of the liability that we have established at September 30, 2014. The amount accrued for this site is not material.

Guarantees

We have agreements with several financial institutions that provide guarantees for certain business activities of our subsidiaries, including performance, insurance, credit, and lease guarantees. The parent company provides guarantees of the subsidiaries' performance under these agreements and also provides a guarantee for repayment of a line of credit for a subsidiary in China. Guarantees outstanding under all of these agreements at September 30, 2014 are $11 million. Certain of these guarantees are secured by letters of credit, all of which were issued under the $100 million letter of credit sub-facility of our revolving credit facility. The maximum potential amount of future payments under all other guarantees not secured by letters of credit at September 30, 2014 is $17 million. Expiration dates of the letters of credit and certain guarantees range from 2014 to 2017. Some of the guarantees have no expiration date. We renew letters of credit as necessary.

9. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We primarily manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities.

We manage certain economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risks, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding, as well as through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we have entered, and may enter in the future, into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

Our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments as compared to our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. To manage this exposure, we sometimes enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize currency exposure due to cash flows from foreign operations. There were no such contracts outstanding at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Non-designated Hedges

On June 25, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap with Goldman Sachs in the notional amount of $97 million and with a maturity date of January 19, 2022 (Goldman Sachs interest rate swap). NewMarket entered into the Goldman Sachs interest rate swap in connection with the termination of a loan application and related rate lock agreement between Foundry Park I and Principal Commercial Funding II, LLC (Principal). When the rate lock agreement was originally executed in 2007, Principal simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap with a third party to hedge Principal’s exposure to fluctuation in the ten-year United States Treasury Bond rate. Upon the termination of the rate lock agreement on June 25, 2009, Goldman Sachs both assumed Principal’s position with the third party and entered into an offsetting interest rate swap with NewMarket. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, NewMarket is making fixed rate payments at 5.3075% and Goldman Sachs makes variable rate payments based on three-month LIBOR. We have collateralized this exposure through cash deposits posted with Goldman Sachs amounting to $25 million at September 30, 2014 and $26 million at December 31, 2013.

We have made an accounting policy election to not offset derivative fair value amounts with the fair value amounts for the right to reclaim cash collateral under our master netting arrangement. We do not use hedge accounting for the Goldman Sachs interest rate swap, and therefore, immediately recognize any change in the fair value of this derivative financial instrument directly in earnings.

Credit-risk Related Contingent Features

The agreement we have with our current derivative counterparty contains a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligation if repayment of indebtedness is accelerated by our lender(s) due to our default on the indebtedness.

As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the derivative in a net liability position related to this agreement, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was $21 million. We have minimum collateral posting thresholds with the counterparty and have posted cash collateral of $25 million as of September 30, 2014. If required, we could have settled our obligations under the agreement at the termination value of $21 million at September 30, 2014.

Interest rate swap liability	21,211		21,211		0		21,211		0

We determine the fair value of derivative instruments shown in the table above by using widely-accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the instrument. The analysis reflects the contractual term of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs.

The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In determining the fair value measurements, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the counterparties’ nonperformance risk.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustment associated with the derivative utilizes Level 3 inputs. These Level 3 inputs include estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by both us and the counterparties to the derivative. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of our derivative and have determined that the credit valuation adjustment is not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative. Accordingly, we have determined that our derivative valuation should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We have made an accounting policy election to measure credit risk of any derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Long-term debt – We record the value of our long-term debt at historical cost. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is shown in the following table and is based primarily on estimated current rates available to us for debt of the same remaining duration and adjusted for nonperformance risk and credit risk. The estimated fair value is determined by the market standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the debt instrument and discounting the cash flows back to present value at the appropriate credit-risk adjusted market interest rates. For floating rate debt obligations, we use forward rates, derived from observable market yield curves, to project the expected cash flows we will be required to make under the debt instrument. We then discount those cash flows back to present value at the appropriate credit-risk adjusted market interest rates. The fair value is categorized as Level 2.

12. Consolidating Financial Information

The 4.10% senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the revolving credit facility and any of our other indebtedness (Guarantor Subsidiaries). The subsidiary guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The indenture governing the 4.10% senior notes includes a provision which allows for a Guarantor Subsidiary to be released of its obligations under the subsidiary guarantee under certain conditions. Those conditions include the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Guarantor Subsidiary's assets in compliance with the indenture and the release or discharge of a Guarantor Subsidiary from its obligations as a guarantor under our revolving credit facility and all of our other indebtedness. The Guarantor Subsidiaries and the subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 4.10% senior notes (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) are 100% owned by NewMarket Corporation (the Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries consist of the following:



Ethyl Corporation	Afton Chemical Corporation
NewMarket Services Corporation	Afton Chemical Additives Corporation

We conduct all of our business through and derive essentially all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the 4.10% senior notes or other obligations is dependent on the earnings and the distribution of funds from our subsidiaries.

The following sets forth the Consolidating Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013; Consolidating Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013; and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 for the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The financial information is based on our understanding of the SEC's interpretation and application of Rule 3-10 of the SEC Regulation S-X.

The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations or financial position had the Guarantor Subsidiaries or Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries operated as independent entities. The Parent Company accounts for investments in these subsidiaries using the equity method.

13. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 replaces the previous guidance and clarifies the principles for revenue recognition. It requires a five-step process for revenue recognition that represents the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received by a company. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is prohibited. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)" (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate, for each annual and interim period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. Certain footnote disclosures are required, the nature of which depends on if substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We do not expect ASU 2014-15 to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements about future events and expectations within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future results. When we use words in this document such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will,” and similar expressions, we do so to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding future prospects of growth in the petroleum additives market, other trends in the petroleum additives market, our ability to maintain or increase our market share, and our future capital expenditure levels.

We believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable expectations and assumptions, within the bounds of what we know about our business and operations. However, we offer no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations due to uncertainties and factors that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, availability of raw materials and transportation systems; supply disruptions at single-sourced facilities; ability to respond effectively to technological changes in our industry; failure to protect our intellectual property rights; hazards common to chemical businesses; occurrence or threat of extraordinary events, including natural disasters and terrorist attacks; competition from other manufacturers; sudden or sharp raw materials price increases; gain or loss of significant customers; risks related to operating outside of the United States; the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; political, economic, and regulatory factors concerning our products; future governmental regulation; resolution of environmental liabilities or legal proceedings; inability to complete future acquisitions or successfully integrate future acquisitions into our business; and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports that NewMarket files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2013 Annual Report), which is available to shareholders upon request.

You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this discussion or elsewhere speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this discussion after the date hereof, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, any forward-looking statement made in this discussion or elsewhere might not occur.

Overview

During the first nine months of 2014, our business continued to perform well. Operating profit margins remained strong, and both revenue and product shipments increased over the first nine months of 2013. We continue to invest in people, technology development, processes, and global infrastructure, consisting of technical centers and production capacity, in support of our business. In addition, our cash flow generation was sufficient to fund operations, including increased working capital needs. We run our business for the long-run with the goal of helping our customers succeed in their marketplaces.

Also, during the first nine months of 2014, we repurchased 568,610 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $212.0 million.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $589.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 1.6% from the third quarter of 2013 of $580.5 million. Nine months of 2014 consolidated revenue was $1.8 billion which was an increase of 3.6% from the first nine months of 2013 level of $1.7 billion. The following table shows revenue by segment and product line.

Petroleum Additives Segment

The primary regions in which we operate include North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the Europe/Middle East/Africa/India (EMEAI) region. While there is some fluctuation, the percentage of revenue generated in the regions remains fairly consistent when comparing the first nine months of 2014 with the same period in 2013, as well as with the full year in 2013. In addition, the percentage of lubricant additives sales and fuel additives sales is also substantially consistent between periods.

Petroleum additives net sales for the third quarter of 2014 of $585.6 million increased $8.0 million, or approximately 1.4%, from $577.6 million for the third quarter of 2013. The North America and Latin America regions reflected increased revenue when comparing the third quarter periods of 2014 and 2013, which was partially offset by decreases in net sales in the Asia Pacific and EMEAI regions when comparing the two quarterly periods. The increase in revenue when comparing the two third quarter periods resulted from increased lubricant additives shipments across all regions. Shipments of fuel additives were down slightly when comparing the two third quarter periods resulting primarily from small volume decreases in the Latin America and EMEAI regions, while the North America and Asia Pacific regions were substantially unchanged. Overall, petroleum additives product shipments increased approximately 3.1% between the two third quarter periods.

Petroleum additives net sales for the nine months of 2014 of $1.8 billion increased $59.8 million, or approximately 3.5%, from $1.7 billion for the first nine months of 2013. Regionally, Latin America, EMEAI and Asia Pacific reflected increased revenue when comparing the two nine month periods, while revenues in North America were substantially unchanged. The increase in revenue when comparing the two nine month periods resulted primarily from increased lubricant additives shipments across all regions, with the most significant increases in the EMEAI and Asia Pacific regions. Similar to the third quarter periods, shipments of fuel additives were down slightly when comparing the two nine month periods, with the North America and EMEAI regions experiencing small decreases in shipments, while the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions were flat. Overall, petroleum additives product shipments increased approximately 5.4% between the two nine month periods.

For both the third quarter and nine months periods, petroleum additives net sales were also impacted by a reduction in selling prices, as well as a favorable foreign currency impact. For both comparative periods, the U.S. Dollar weakened against the European Union Euro (Euro) and the British Pound Sterling (Pound) resulting in a favorable foreign currency impact on revenue primarily from the impact of the Euro. The favorable foreign currency impact from the Euro and Pound were partially offset by several other currencies, including the Japanese Yen, which weakened against the U.S. Dollar, resulting in an unfavorable foreign currency impact on net sales between both the third quarter and nine months comparison periods.

The following table details the approximate components of the increase in net sales between the third quarter and nine months of 2014 and 2013.



(in millions)	Third Quarter			Nine Months
Period ended September 30, 2013	$	577.6		$	1,717.3
Lubricant additives shipments	21.3			91.5
Fuel additives shipments	(12.2		)	(21.0		)

Segment Operating Profit

NewMarket evaluates the performance of the petroleum additives business based on segment operating profit. NewMarket Services Corporation (NewMarket Services) expenses are charged to NewMarket and each subsidiary pursuant to services agreements between the companies. Depreciation on segment property, plant, and equipment, as well as amortization of segment intangible assets, is included in segment operating profit.

The following table reports segment operating profit for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.



	Third Quarter Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)	2014		2013			2014		2013
Petroleum additives	$	94.3	$	95.5		$	299.6	$	295.3
All other	$	0.4	$	(1.6	)	$	1.8	$	(1.8	)

Petroleum Additives Segment

The petroleum additives segment operating profit decreased $1.2 million when comparing the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2013 and increased $4.3 million when comparing the first nine months of 2014 to the same period in 2013. Operating profit from lubricant additives products increased for both the third quarter and nine months periods while operating profit of fuel additives products reflected a decrease when comparing the two third quarter and nine months periods. These fluctuations in operating profit between the 2014 and 2013 third quarter and nine month periods included a favorable foreign currency impact of about $6 million for the third quarter period comparison and an unfavorable foreign currency impact of about $4 million for the nine month period comparison, which are reflected in conversion and miscellaneous costs. The operating profit margin was 16.1% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 16.5% for the third quarter of 2013 and was 16.9% for the nine months of 2014 as compared to 17.2% for the nine months of 2013. For the rolling four quarters ended September 30, 2014, the operating profit margin was 16.3%, which is in line with our expectations of the performance of our business over the long-term. While operating profit margins will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to multiple factors, we do not operate our business differently from quarter to quarter. We believe the fundamentals of our business and industry are unchanged. We continue to focus on developing and delivering innovative, technology-driven solutions to our customers.

Gross profit results were unfavorable by $0.3 million when comparing the third quarter periods of 2014 and 2013 and favorable by $3.1 million when comparing the nine month periods. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue remained fairly consistent between the two third quarter and nine months periods at 72.0% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to 71.5% for the third quarter of 2013, and 71.7% for the nine months of 2014 compared to 70.9% for the nine months of 2013.

The unfavorable gross profit results when comparing the two third quarter periods were caused by unfavorable variances in raw material costs and selling prices. These variances were substantially offset by a favorable conversion and miscellaneous cost variance, which included the $6 million favorable foreign currency impact discussed above. The volume variance impact on gross profit results when comparing the two third quarter periods was negligible.

For the nine months comparison, a favorable volume variance, as discussed in the revenue section above, contributed over 100% of the increase in gross profit, along with a small favorable variance in conversion and miscellaneous costs. These favorable variances were largely offset by unfavorable variances in selling prices and raw material costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the third quarter of 2014 were $0.9 million, or 2.8%, higher as compared to the third quarter of 2013 and lower by $1.2 million, or 1.2%, for the nine months of 2014 as compared to nine months of 2013. SG&A as a percentage of revenue was 5.8% for the third quarter of 2014, 5.7% for the third quarter of 2013, 5.6% for the nine months of 2014, and 5.9% for the nine months of 2013. Our SG&A costs are primarily personnel-related and include salaries, benefits, and other costs associated with our workforce. There were no significant changes in these costs when comparing the third quarter and nine month periods.

Table of Contents

Research, development, and testing expenses (R&D) were essentially unchanged for both the third quarter of 2014 and the nine months of 2014 when compared to the same 2013 periods. When comparing the third quarter periods, the lubricant additives product line decreased slightly, which was mostly offset by expenses in the fuel additives product line. For the nine months periods, R&D expenses for fuel additives increased but were completely offset by decreases in the lubricant additives product lines. As a percentage of revenue, R&D was 6.1% for the third quarter of 2014, 6.2% for the third quarter of 2013, 5.8% for the nine months of 2014, and 6.0% for the nine months of 2013. Our approach to R&D investment, as it is with SG&A, is one of purposeful spending on programs to support our current product base and to ensure that we develop products to support our customers' programs in the future. R&D expenses include personnel-related costs, as well as internal and external testing of our products. Our expectation is that R&D will increase for the full year of 2014 as compared to 2013.

The following discussion references the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest and Financing Expenses

Interest and financing expenses was $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, $12.7 million for the nine months of 2014 and $13.6 million for the nine months of 2013. The decrease in interest and financing expenses between the third quarters of 2014 and 2013 primarily resulted from a slightly lower average interest rate in 2014, partially offset by the impact of fees and amortization, as well as slightly higher outstanding average debt. The decrease in interest and financing expenses between the nine month periods resulted from lower average outstanding debt, partially offset by a slightly higher average interest rate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was income of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2014, expense of $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2013, expense of $4.0 million for the nine months of 2014, and income of $5.5 million for the nine months of 2013. The amounts for all periods primarily reflected the impact from a derivative instrument representing an interest rate swap recorded at fair value through earnings. See Note 9 for additional information on the interest rate swap.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $27.3 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate was 32.5% for the third quarter of 2014, while the third quarter of 2013 was 30.6%. The increase in income from continuing operations before income tax expense resulted in an increase of $0.6 million in income taxes, while the higher effective income tax rate resulted in an increase of $1.5 million in income tax expense when comparing the two third quarter periods.

Income tax expense was $84.8 million for the nine months of 2014 and $80.1 million for the nine months of 2013. The effective tax rate was 31.9% for the nine months of 2014 and 29.8% for the nine months of 2013. The higher effective tax rate in 2014 as compared to 2013 resulted in a $5.4 million increase in income taxes when comparing the two nine month periods. That increase was partially offset by the effects of the decrease in income before income tax expense which resulted in lower income tax expense of $0.7 million.

The effective tax rate for both the 2014 and 2013 periods included the benefit of income in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States tax rate, as well as a substantial benefit from the domestic manufacturing tax deduction. The nine months 2013 period reflected the effects of the research and development tax credit for nine months 2013, as well as for all of 2012, as the legislation to extend such tax credits was retroactively signed into law in January 2013. The 2014 tax rate does not include a benefit for the current year research and development tax credit, as this credit has not been extended to 2014 by the United States Congress.

Discontinued Operations

On July 2, 2013, Foundry Park I completed the sale of its real estate assets for $144 million in cash, which comprised our entire real estate development segment. The operations of the real estate development segment are now reported in income from operations of discontinued business, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We recognized a gain of $36 million ($22 million after tax) in the third quarter of 2013 related to this transaction.

Cash Flows, Financial Condition, and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 were $141.5 million, which was a decrease of $97.2 million since December 31, 2013.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $135.9 million at September 30, 2014 and $135.4 million at December 31, 2013. A significant amount, but not all, of these foreign cash balances are associated with earnings that we have asserted are indefinitely reinvested. We plan to use these indefinitely reinvested earnings to support growth outside of the United States through funding of operating expenses, capital expenditures, and other cash needs of our foreign subsidiaries. Periodically, we repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries to the United States through intercompany dividends. These intercompany dividends are paid only by subsidiaries whose earnings we have not asserted are indefinitely reinvested or whose earnings qualify as previously taxed income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. If circumstances were to change that would cause these indefinitely reinvested earnings to be repatriated, an incremental U.S. tax liability would be incurred. As part of our foreign subsidiary repatriation activities, we received cash dividends of $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

We expect that cash from operations, together with borrowing available under our revolving credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to cover our operating needs for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows – Operating Activities

Cash flows provided from operating activities for the nine months 2014 were $161.7 million which included a decrease of $58.7 million due to higher working capital requirements, primarily resulting from increases in accounts receivable and inventories. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to higher sales levels when comparing the third quarter of 2014 with the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in inventories reflects normal variations in planning for future demand.

We had working capital of $593.6 million at September 30, 2014 and $649.7 million at December 31, 2013. The current ratio was 3.37 to 1 at September 30, 2014 and 3.62 to 1 at December 31, 2013.

Cash Flows – Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $43.2 million during the nine months of 2014 and included $38.9 million for capital expenditures. We estimate our total capital spending during 2014 will be approximately $60 million to $65 million, including anticipated spending on a new manufacturing facility in Singapore. We expect to continue to finance capital spending through cash on hand and cash provided from operations, together with borrowing available under our $650 million revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows – Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during the nine months of 2014 amounted to $211.9 million. The cash was used to repurchase $209.3 million of our common stock and to pay dividends of $42.0 million. We borrowed $35.0 million under our revolving credit facility during the first nine months of 2014.

We had total long-term debt of $384.5 million at September 30, 2014, representing an increase of approximately $35.0 million in our total long-term debt since December 31, 2013, due to borrowing $35.0 million on our revolving credit facility.

At September 30, 2014, in addition to the revolving credit facility, which is discussed below, we had outstanding senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350 million that bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.10% and are due in 2022. These senior notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

A subsidiary in China has a short-term line of credit for operating purposes for $15 million with an outstanding balance of $7.7 million at September 30, 2014.

Revolving Credit Facility – At September 30, 2014, we had a $650 million multicurrency revolving credit facility, with a $100 million sublimit for multicurrency borrowings, a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit, and a $20 million sublimit for swingline loans. The agreement includes an expansion feature, which allows us, subject to certain conditions, to request an increase to the aggregate amount of the revolving credit facility or obtain incremental term loans in an amount up to $150 million. Borrowings bear interest at variable rates. The revolving credit facility matures on March 14, 2017.

Table of Contents

The following table provides information related to the unused portion of our revolving credit facility:



(in millions)	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Maximum borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility	$	650.0	$	650.0
Outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility	35.0		0.0
Outstanding letters of credit	3.3		3.1
Unused portion of revolving credit facility	$	611.7	$	646.9

Both the 4.10% senior notes and the revolving credit facility contain covenants, representations, and events of default that management considers typical of credit agreements of this nature. The more restrictive and significant financial covenants under the revolving credit facility include:

•A consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no more than 3.00 to 1.00; and

•A consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than 3.00 to 1.00, calculated on a rolling four quarter basis.

At September 30, 2014, the Leverage Ratio was 1.01 and the Interest Coverage Ratio was 20.88, while at December 31, 2013 the Leverage Ratio was 0.94 and the Interest Coverage Ratio was 19.54. We were in compliance with all covenants under both the revolving credit facility and the 4.10% senior notes at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

As a percentage of total capitalization (total long-term debt and shareholders’ equity), our total long-term debt percentage increased from 37.9% at December 31, 2013 to 43.7% at September 30, 2014. The change in the percentage was primarily the result of the decrease in shareholders’ equity, along with an increase in long-term debt. The decrease in shareholders’ equity reflects our earnings, offset by the impact of dividend payments and stock repurchases. Normally, we repay any outstanding long-term debt with cash from operations or refinancing activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This Form 10-Q and our 2013 Annual Report include discussions of our accounting principles, as well as methods and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We also provide a discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2013 Annual Report. We believe these discussions and financial statements fairly represent the financial position and results of operations of our company in all material respects.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those reported in our 2013 Annual Report.

Other Matters

In June 2014, we broke ground on the site of our new manufacturing facility in Singapore. The Singapore facility is expected to be operational in late-2015 with a total investment in excess of $100 million. In connection with this planned construction, we signed a lease agreement for land with a noncancelable lease term of 30 years. This will result in an increase to operating lease obligations reported in the Contractual Obligations table in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2013 Annual Report of approximately $700 thousand per year, or a total of $21 million over the lease term.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Outlook

We are pleased with our operational performance and results for the first nine months of the year. The results reinforce our confidence in our customer-focused strategy and approach to the market. We continue to believe the fundamentals of how we run our business - a long-term horizon, safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven product offerings, world-class supply chain capability, and a regional organizational structure to better understand our customers' needs - will continue to be beneficial for all of our stakeholders.

Table of Contents

We continue to have expectations that our petroleum additives segment will deliver solid performance in 2014, after having posted record operating profit for each of the last several years. We expect that petroleum additives industry shipment demand will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 1% - 2% over the foreseeable future, as there have been no significant changes in the positive fundamentals of the business. Over the long-term, we plan to exceed the industry growth rate. Over the past several years, we have made significant investments to expand our capabilities around the world. These investments have been in people, technology development, processes and global infrastructure, consisting of technical centers and production capacity. In the second quarter, we officially broke ground on our new Singapore manufacturing facility, representing further evidence of our commitment to continued global investment in support of our customers' needs. We intend to utilize these new capabilities to improve our ability to deliver the solutions that our customers value and to expand our global reach and improve profits. We will continue to invest in our capabilities to provide even better service, technology, and customer solutions.

Our business continues to generate significant amounts of cash beyond what is necessary for the expansion and growth of our current offerings. We regularly review the many internal opportunities which we have to utilize this cash from a technological, geographic and product line perspective. Our primary focus in the acquisition area remains on the petroleum additives industry. It is our view that this industry will provide the greatest opportunity for solid returns on our investments while minimizing risk. We remain focused on this strategy and will evaluate any future opportunities. Nonetheless, we are patient in this pursuit and intend to make the right acquisition when the opportunity arises. We will continue to evaluate all alternative uses of cash to enhance shareholder value, including stock repurchases and dividends.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

At September 30, 2014, there were no significant changes in our market risk from the information provided in the 2013 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance of the reliability of the financial records and the protection of assets. Our controls and procedures include written policies and procedures, careful selection and training of qualified personnel, and an internal audit program. We use third-party firms, separate from our independent registered public accounting firm, to assist with internal audit services.

We work closely with the business groups, operations personnel, and information technology to ensure transactions are recorded properly. Environmental and legal staff are consulted to determine the appropriateness of our environmental and legal liabilities for each reporting period. We regularly review the regulations and rule changes that affect our financial disclosures.

Our disclosure controls and procedures include signed representation letters from our regional officers, as well as senior management.

We have a Financial Disclosure Committee (the committee), which is made up of the president of Afton Chemical Corporation, the general counsel of NewMarket, and the controller of NewMarket. The committee makes representations with regard to the financial statements that, to the best of their knowledge, the statements do not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit a material fact that is necessary to make the statements not misleading with respect to the periods covered by the report. They also represent that, to the best of their knowledge, the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in the report.

Management personnel for our geographic regions also represent that, to the best of their knowledge, the financial statements and other financial information from their respective regions, which are included in our consolidated financial statements, fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of their respective regions as of and for the periods presented in the report.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

In late 2013, Afton Chemical Corporation initiated a voluntary self-audit of its compliance with certain sections of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) under the EPA’s audit policy (Audit Policy). If any potential TSCA violations are discovered during the audit, we would voluntarily disclose them to the EPA under the Audit Policy. In August 2014, the EPA TSCA staff began its own TSCA inspection of both Afton Chemical Corporation and Ethyl Corporation. While it is not possible to predict or determine with certainty the outcome, we do not believe that any findings identified as a result of our audit or the EPA’s TSCA inspection will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 24, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing management to repurchase up to $400 million of NewMarket Corporation's outstanding common stock until December 31, 2016, as market conditions warrant and covenants under our existing agreements permit. We may conduct the share repurchases in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program does not require NewMarket to acquire any specific number of shares and may be terminated or suspended at any time. Approximately $293 million remained available under the 2014 authorization at September 30, 2014. The following table outlines the purchases during the third quarter of 2014 under this authorization.
