NewMarket Corporation (NYSE:NEU) Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Thomas E. Gottwald, released the following earnings report
of the Company’s operations for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2018.
Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $58.5 million,
compared to net income of $59.8 million for the third quarter of
2017. Earnings per share increased 1.6% to $5.12 per share from
$5.04 per share in the prior year period. For the first nine months
of 2018, net income was $171.9 million, or $14.78 per share,
compared to net income of $186.4 million, or $15.73 per share, for
the first nine months of last year.
Sales for the petroleum additives segment for the third quarter
of 2018 were $560.5 million, up 2.6% versus the same period last
year, due mainly to increased selling prices. Petroleum additives
operating profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $75.8 million, a
9.9% decrease over third quarter operating profit last year of
$84.2 million. The decrease was due mainly to higher raw material
and conversion costs plus unfavorable changes in foreign currency
rates, which were only partially offset by increased selling
prices. Petroleum additives operating margin for the quarter was
13.5% compared to 15.4% in the prior-year quarter. Shipments
between quarterly periods were down 3.6% from the same period last
year with decreases in both lubricant additives and fuel additives
shipments. All regions except Asia Pacific showed decreases in both
lubricant additives and fuel additives shipments.
Petroleum additives sales for the first nine months of the year
were $1.7 billion compared to sales in the first nine months of
last year of $1.6 billion, or an increase of 6.9%. This increase
was due mainly to selling prices, changes in foreign currency rates
and product mix. Petroleum additives operating profit for the first
nine months of the year was $231.5 million compared to $270.8
million for the first nine months of 2017, or a decrease of 14.5%.
The decrease was due mainly to higher raw material and conversion
costs, as well as unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates,
partially offset by increased selling prices. Petroleum additives
operating margin for the first nine months of 2018 was 13.3%
compared to 16.6% in the prior-year nine month period. Shipments
decreased slightly between periods, with increases in lubricant
additives shipments offset by decreases in fuel additives
shipments. Asia Pacific was the region contributing to the increase
in lubricant additives shipments. Europe and North America were the
primary drivers for the decrease in fuel additives shipments.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was
14.4%, down from the rate of 22.4% in the same period last year.
The effective rate for the first nine months of 2018 was 21.6%,
down from the rate in 2017 of 25.6%. The rates in both 2018 periods
were lower due mainly to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017,
including the reduction of deferred tax liabilities related to
pension contributions.
We have continued to see downward pressure on our operating
margins, consistent with the last few quarters, which is directly
related to the steady rise in raw material costs we have seen over
the past two years. While we have made some progress in adjusting
our selling prices to help compensate for the increase in costs, we
have continued to experience the lag between when the price
increases go into effect and when we start to see margins improve.
We expect this lag to continue until raw material prices stabilize.
Margin improvement will continue to be our number one priority for
the remainder of this year and into 2019.
During the first nine months of 2018, we funded capital
expenditures of $55.1 million, paid dividends of $60.8 million and
repurchased 385,181 shares of our common stock for a total of
$148.6 million, through a combination of borrowing under our
revolving credit facility and cash from operations.
We make decisions that we believe will promote the greatest
long-term value for our shareholders, customers and employees. We
will remain focused on our long-term objectives, including margin
improvement in the coming months. 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.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. Gottwald
