NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and our consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018. 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, 2018 (2018 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019. The December 31, 2018 condensed 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.

We adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2018-02) on January 1, 2019. ASU 2018-02 allows, but does not require, reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects that resulted from the enactment of U.S. tax legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (Tax Reform Act) at the end of 2017. We elected not to reclassify those tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income upon adoption of ASU 2018-02. We typically remove the tax impact in accumulated other comprehensive income when the underlying circumstance which gave rise to the tax impact no longer exists.

2. Net Sales

Our revenues are primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of petroleum additives products. We sell petroleum additives products across the world to customers located in the United States, Europe, Asia Pacific (including China), Latin America, Canada, India, and the Middle East. Our customers primarily consist of global, national, and independent oil companies. Our contracts generally include one performance obligation, which is providing petroleum additives products. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when products are shipped, delivered, or consumed by the customer, depending on the underlying contracts.

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 to our customer until we recognize the revenue. Some of our contracts include variable consideration in the form of rebates or business development funds. We regularly review both rebates and business development funds 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 in Note 3.

5. Earnings Per Share

We had 22,536 shares of nonvested restricted stock at March 31, 2019 and 25,384 shares of nonvested restricted stock at March 31, 2018 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 a more dilutive result than the treasury-stock method. The following table illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

	$	395,660	$	396,341

7. Intangibles (Net of Amortization) and Goodwill

The net carrying amount of intangibles and goodwill was $135 million at March 31, 2019 and $136 million at December 31, 2018. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of each type of intangible asset and goodwill are presented in the table below.



	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
(in thousands)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Amortizing intangible assets
Formulas and technology	$	9,600	$	3,791	$	9,600	$	3,250
Contract	2,000		450		2,000		400
Customer bases	14,240		9,551		14,240		9,091
Goodwill	123,011				122,940
	$	148,851	$	13,792	$	148,780	$	12,741

All of the intangibles relate to the petroleum additives segment. The change in the gross carrying amount between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 is due to foreign currency fluctuation. There is no accumulated goodwill impairment.

Amortization expense was (in thousands):



Three months ended March 31, 2019	$	1,051
Three months ended March 31, 2018	2,906

Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2019, as well as estimated annual amortization expense related to our intangible assets for the next five years, is expected to be (in thousands):



2019	$	3,155
2020	2,907
2021	2,156
2022	1,423
2023	907
2024	390

We amortize the contract over 10 years; customer bases over 4 to 20 years; and formulas and technology over 3 to 6 years.

8. Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02) using the modified retrospective transition method allowing us to apply the new standard at the adoption date and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Under this transition method, the prior comparative period continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

Table of Contents

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to carry-forward the historical lease classification of existing leases. In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry-forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. Except for the railcar lease class, we made an accounting policy election to adopt the short-term lease exception which allows us to not recognize on the balance sheet those leases with terms of 12 months or less resulting in short-term lease payments being recognized in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also elected a practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components in determining the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all lease classes.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $70 million as of January 1, 2019. As the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were substantially the same at adoption, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

We have both operating and finance leases with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 52 years. Our leases are for land, real estate, railcars, vehicles, pipelines, plant equipment, and office equipment. We determine if an arrangement includes a lease at the inception of the agreement. The right-of-use asset and lease liability is determined at the lease commencement date and is based on the present value of estimated lease payments. Our lease agreements contain both fixed and variable lease payments. In some cases, variable lease payments are based on a rate or an index. Fixed lease payments, as well as variable lease payments which are based on a rate or index, are included in the determination of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not based on a rate or index are expensed when incurred. The present value of estimated lease payments is determined utilizing the rate implicit in the lease agreement if that rate can be determined. If the implicit rate cannot be determined, the present value of estimated lease payments is determined utilizing our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined at the lease commencement date and is developed utilizing a readily available market interest rate curve adjusted for our credit quality. Some of our leases include an option to renew that can extend the lease term. For those leases which are reasonably certain to be renewed, we included the renewal term in the lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The components of lease expense were as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2019
Operating lease cost	$	4,229
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of assets	633
Interest on lease liabilities	98
Short-term lease cost	1,175
Variable lease cost	392
Total lease cost	$	6,527

Variable lease costs also include leases that do not have a right-of-use asset or lease liability, but are capitalized as part of inventory.

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 (PRP). 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 March 31, 2019 and $12 million at December 31, 2018. 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 Louisiana (the Louisiana site) and a Houston, Texas plant site (the Texas site). Together, the amounts accrued on a discounted basis related to these sites represented approximately $8 million of the total accrual above at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, using discount rates ranging from 3% to 9% for both periods. The aggregate undiscounted amount for these sites was $10 million at March 31, 2019 and $11 million at December 31, 2018. Of the total accrued for these two sites, the amount related to remediation of groundwater and soil for the Louisiana site was $4 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The amount related to remediation of groundwater and soil for the Texas site was $4 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Overview

When comparing the results of the petroleum additives segment for the first three months of 2019 with the first three months of 2018, net sales decreased 9.2% primarily due to lower product shipments and unfavorable foreign currency, which was partially offset by improved selling prices. Petroleum additives operating profit was 4.4% higher when comparing the first three months of 2019 with the first three months of 2018, reflecting the improved selling prices and lower raw material costs, offset by the impact from the lower product shipments and increased conversion costs.

Our operations generate cash that is in excess of the needs of the business. We continue to invest in and manage the business for the long-term with the goal of helping our customers succeed in their marketplaces. Our investments continue to be in organizational talent, technology development and processes, and global infrastructure, consisting of technical centers, production capability, and geographic expansion.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the first three months of 2019 were $536.6 million which was a decrease of $52.6 million, or 8.9%, from the first three months of 2018. The following table shows net sales by segment and product line.

Petroleum Additives Segment

The regions in which we operate include North America (the United States and Canada), Latin America (Mexico, Central America, and South America), Asia Pacific, and the Europe/Middle East/Africa/India (EMEAI) region. While there is some fluctuation, the percentage of net sales generated in the regions remained fairly consistent when comparing the first three months of 2019 with the same period in 2018, as well as with the full year in 2018.

Petroleum additives net sales for the first three months of 2019 were $532.7 million compared to $586.9 million for the first three months of 2018, a decrease of 9.2%. The decrease in net sales for the first three months comparison was across all regions, with most of the decrease in the EMEAI region, followed by the North America region.

The following table details the approximate components of the decrease in petroleum additives net sales between the first three months of 2019 and 2018.



(in millions)	Three Months
Period ended March 31, 2018	$	586.9
Lubricant additives shipments	(65.9		)
Fuel additives shipments	(7.1		)
Selling prices	28.1
Foreign currency impact, net	(9.3		)
Period ended March 31, 2019	$	532.7

When comparing the first three months periods of 2019 and 2018, petroleum additives shipments accounted for a $73.0 million decrease in net sales. Improved selling prices, including an unfavorable foreign currency impact, resulted in an increase of $18.8 million in net sales, partially offsetting the unfavorable impact from product shipments. The United States Dollar strengthened against the major currencies in which we transact, resulting in an unfavorable impact to net sales for the three months comparative periods. The unfavorable impact was predominantly from the Euro.

On a worldwide basis, the volume of product shipments for petroleum additives decreased 12.5% when comparing the first three months of 2019 and 2018. Shipments of lubricant additives decreased across all regions for the three months comparative period with most of the decrease in the EMEAI region. Fuel additives also decreased for the three months comparative periods. The decrease in fuel additives shipments was across all regions except for Asia Pacific.

All Other

The “All other” category includes the operations of the antiknock compounds business and certain contracted manufacturing and services.

Segment Operating Profit

NewMarket evaluates the performance of the petroleum additives business based on segment operating profit. NewMarket Services Corporation 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.

Table of Contents

The following table reports segment operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2019		2018
Petroleum additives	$	87.9	$	84.1
All other	$	0.5	$	0.0

Petroleum Additives Segment

The petroleum additives segment operating profit increased $3.8 million when comparing the first three months of 2019 to the first three months of 2018. Both comparative periods included the impact of the same factors that affected gross profit (see discussion below) including an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact when comparing the first three months of 2019 with the same period in 2018.

The operating profit margin was 16.5% for the first three months of 2019 as compared to 14.3% for the first three months of 2018. For the rolling four quarters ended March 31, 2019, the operating profit margin for petroleum additives was 14.1%. We have made progress adjusting our selling prices to allow for increases in raw material costs in past periods resulting in a favorable impact from selling prices. While we saw some improvements in the operating profit margin for the first three months of 2019, we are continuing to experience downward pressure on our margins caused by raw material price increases over the past two years, mainly because of the lag between when we raise our selling prices and when margins begin to improve and stabilize. Operating profit margins will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to multiple factors, but we believe the fundamentals of our business and industry as a whole are unchanged.

Petroleum additives gross profit decreased $1.2 million when comparing the first three months periods of 2019 and 2018. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 71.5% for the first three months of 2019, down from 73.9% for the first three months of 2018. When comparing the first three months of 2019 and 2018, the decrease in gross profit resulted predominantly from unfavorable product shipments (as discussed in the Net Sales section above) and conversion costs, as well as an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact, which together contributed over 100% of the change. These unfavorable factors were mostly offset by a favorable impact from selling prices (including the impact from foreign currency on net sales), as well as favorable raw material costs.

Petroleum additives selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the first three months of 2019 were $3.8 million, or 11.0% lower as compared to the first three months of 2018. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 5.8% for the first three months of 2019 and 5.9% for the first three months of 2018. Our SG&A costs are primarily personnel-related and include salaries, benefits, and other costs associated with our workforce. While personnel costs were slightly lower in the 2019 period, there were no significant changes in the drivers of these costs when comparing the periods.

Our investment in petroleum additives research, development, and testing (R&D) decreased $1.1 million in the first three months of 2019 from the first three months of 2018. The decrease reflects slightly lower spending in both lubricant additives and fuel additives product lines with most of the decrease in the lubricant additives product line. As a percentage of net sales, R&D was 6.2% for the first three months of 2019, and 5.8% for the first three months of 2018. Our R&D investments reflect our efforts to support the development of solutions that meet our customers' needs, meet new and evolving standards, and support our expansion into new product areas. 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 investments include personnel-related costs, as well as internal and external testing of our products.

The following discussion references certain captions on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest and Financing Expenses

Interest and financing expenses were $8.0 million for the first three months of 2019 and $5.2 million for the first three months of 2018. For the first three months of 2019 as compared to the first three months of 2018, higher average debt, along with lower capitalized interest, resulted in increased interest expense, which was partially offset by a favorable interest rate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was income of $5.9 million for the first three months of 2019 and $4.9 million for the first three months of 2018. The amounts for both 2019 and 2018 periods primarily reflect the components of net periodic benefit cost (income), except for service cost. See Note 4 for further information on total periodic benefit cost (income).

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $18.6 million for the first three months of 2019 and $20.7 million for the first three months of 2018. The effective tax rate was 23.0% for the first three months of 2019 and 25.5% for the first three months of 2018. Income tax expense decreased $2.0 million due to the lower effective tax rate, with the remaining amount of the change due to the lower income before income tax expense.

The decrease in the effective tax rate between the first three months of 2018 and the first three months of 2019 is primarily due to certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act.

Cash Flows, Financial Condition, and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2019 were $78.2 million, which was an increase of $5.2 million since December 31, 2018.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries amounted to $75.3 million at March 31, 2019 and $70.9 million at December 31, 2018. Periodically, we repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries to the United States through intercompany dividends. Under the Tax Reform Act enacted in 2017, previously deferred foreign earnings were subjected to U.S. tax in 2017. The Tax Reform Act also includes a 100% dividends received deduction for most future distributions from our foreign subsidiaries. As a result of these two provisions, we do not anticipate significant tax consequences of future distributions of foreign earnings.

A portion of our foreign cash balances is 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, research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and other cash needs of our foreign subsidiaries.

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 and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows – Operating Activities

Cash flows provided from operating activities for the first three months of 2019 were $19.1 million, which included the use of $63.4 million to fund higher working capital requirements. The $63.4 million excluded a favorable foreign currency impact to the components of working capital on the balance sheet.

Other than the increase in cash and cash equivalents, the most significant changes in working capital resulted from an increase in accounts receivable and operating lease liabilities, as well as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The higher accounts receivable balance was due to higher sales levels primarily in the EMEAI and Asia Pacific regions when comparing March 2019 with the end of 2018, as well as a favorable foreign currency impact and some fluctuations in payment terms. The increase in operating lease liabilities reflects the adoption of ASC 842, "Leases". See Note 8 for additional information on our leases. The decrease in accounts payable reflected normal timing differences and the decrease in accrued expenses reflected normal payments for customer and personnel related costs.

Including cash and cash equivalents, as well as the impact of foreign currency on the balance sheet, we had total working capital of $596.2 million at March 31, 2019 and $542.1 million at December 31, 2018. The current ratio was 3.29 to 1 at March 31, 2019 and 3.00 to 1 at December 31, 2018.

Cash Flows – Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities totaled $10.4 million during the first three months of 2019 for capital expenditures. We currently expect that our total capital spending during 2019 will be in the $75 million to $85 million range and will include several improvements to our manufacturing and R&D infrastructure around the world. We expect to continue to finance capital spending through cash on hand and cash provided from operations, together with borrowing available under our $850 million revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows – Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2019 amounted to $4.1 million. We paid dividends of $19.6 million, which was partially offset by additional borrowings of $16.1 million on our revolving credit facility. Our long-term debt was $782.0 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $771.0 million at December 31, 2018. See Note 9 for additional information on long-term debt.

Debt

At March 31, 2019, our debt included senior notes in the amount of $350 million, senior notes in the amount of $250 million, and borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

Table of Contents

The $350 million senior notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.10% and are due in 2022. These senior notes are registered under the Securities Act.

The $250 million senior notes are unsecured and were issued in a 2017 private placement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America and certain other purchasers. These notes bear interest at 3.78% and mature on January 4, 2029.

The revolving credit agreement provides for an $850 million, multicurrency revolving credit facility, with a $150 million sublimit for multicurrency borrowings, a $75 million sublimit for letters of credit, and a $20 million sublimit for swingline loans. The revolving credit agreement includes an expansion feature which allows us, subject to certain conditions, to request an increase in the aggregate amount of the revolving credit facility or obtain incremental term loans in an amount up to $425 million. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries are allowed to borrow under the agreement. The obligations under the revolving credit facility are unsecured and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by NewMarket. The revolving credit facility matures on September 22, 2022.

The unused portion of the revolving credit facility was $663.1 million at March 31, 2019 and $679.2 million at December 31, 2018. See Note 9 for additional information.

The 4.10% senior notes, 3.78% senior notes, and the revolving credit facility contain covenants, representations, and events of default that management considers typical of credit arrangements of this nature. The covenants under the 3.78% senior notes include negative covenants, certain financial covenants, and events of default which are substantially similar to the covenants and events of default in our revolving credit facility.

The more restrictive and significant financial covenants under the revolving credit facility include:


•	A consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the agreement) of no more than 3.50 to 1.00, except during an Increased Leverage Period (as defined in the agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter; and


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

We were in compliance with all covenants under the 4.10% senior notes, the 3.78% senior notes, and the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

As a percentage of total capitalization (total long-term debt and shareholders’ equity), our total long-term debt percentage decreased from 61.1% at December 31, 2018 to 59.2% at March 31, 2019. The change in the percentage was primarily the result of the increase in shareholders' equity, partially offset by the increase in long-term debt. The change in shareholders’ equity reflects our earnings and the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments, offset by dividend payments. Generally, we repay any outstanding long-term debt with cash from operations or refinancing activities.

Other Matters

The United Kingdom’s June 2016 referendum decision to withdraw from the European Union (EU), commonly known as Brexit, has resulted in uncertainty for our European operations regarding the extent to which our operations and financial performance will be affected immediately and in the longer term. Our key manufacturing facilities in the current EU are not in the United Kingdom. Therefore, goods movements will continue to be predominantly within the EU post-Brexit which means that existing key trade agreements will continue to apply. However, because the UK has not finalized a transition plan, there continues to be significant uncertainty related to Brexit and its impact, with a number of regulatory and logistical challenges remaining. We are continuing to monitor and evaluate changes in legislation and trading practices in order to mitigate any potential risks to our operations associated with the changing commercial landscape.

Outlook

Our stated goal is to provide a 10% compounded return per year for our shareholders over any five-year period (defined by earnings per share growth plus dividends), although we may not necessarily achieve a 10% return each year. We continue to have confidence in our customer-focused strategy and approach to the market. We believe the fundamentals of how we run our business - a long-term view, safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven product offerings, and world-class supply chain capability - will continue to be beneficial for all of our stakeholders over the long term.

We expect our petroleum additives segment to deliver another year of solid performance in 2019. We expect that the petroleum additives industry shipment demand will grow in the 1% to 2% range over the long-term, and we plan to exceed the industry growth rate.

In the past several years we have made significant investments in our business as the industry fundamentals remain positive. These investments have been and will continue to be in organizational talent, technology development and processes, and global infrastructure, consisting of technical centers, production capability and geographic expansion. We intend to utilize these investments to improve our ability to deliver the solutions that our customers value, expand our global reach, and enhance our operating results. We will continue to invest in our capabilities to provide even better value, service, technology, and customer solutions.

Our business generates significant amounts of cash beyond what is necessary for the expansion and growth of our current offerings. We regularly review our many internal opportunities to utilize excess cash from technological, geographic, production capability, and product line perspectives. We believe our capital spending is creating the capability we need to grow and support our customers worldwide, and our research and development investments are positioning us well to provide added value to our customers. Our primary focus in the acquisition area remains on the petroleum additives industry. It is our view that this industry segment 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.

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. Under Rule 13a-15(b) of 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 such term is defined in 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 were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
