CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATIVE TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form
10-Q
contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements (covered by words like “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “may,” “could,” “believes,” “feels,” “plans,” “intends” or similar words or expressions, for example) which relate to earnings, growth potential, operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Although forward-looking statements are believed by management to be reasonable when made, they are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic, such as its duration, its unknown long-term economic impact, measures taken by governmental authorities to address it, the rise of variants, the effectiveness, acceptance and distributions of
COVID-19
vaccines and the effects of any sanctions, export restrictions, inflation, supply chain disruptions or increased economic uncertainty related to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the manner in which the pandemic and/or such conflict may precipitate or exacerbate other risks and/or uncertainties, and our actual performance or results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Additional information regarding risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to Innospec and affecting our business operations and prospects are described in Innospec’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021, Innospec’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You are urged to review our discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements under the heading “Risk Factors” in such reports. Innospec undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

INNOSPEC INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
It is our opinion, however, that all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) have been made which are necessary for the condensed consolidated financial statements to be fairly stated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 16, 2022 (the “2021 Form
10-K”).
The results for the interim period covered by this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
When we use the terms “Innospec,” “the Corporation,” “the Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we are referring to Innospec Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of options that are dilutive and outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. Per share amounts are computed as follows:

The amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.8 million (six months ended June 30, 2021 – $8.0 million).
NOTE 6 – PENSION AND POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering certain current and former employees in the United Kingdom (the “UK Plan”). The UK Plan is closed to future service accrual and has a large number of deferred and current pensioners.
The Company also maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain current and former employees in Germany (the “German plan”). The German plan is closed to new entrants and has no assets.
The net periodic benefit of these plans is shown in the following table:

The service cost has been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. All other items have been recognized within other income and expense. The amortization of prior service cost and actuarial net losses are a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into other income and expense.
In addition, we have obligations for post-employment benefits in some of our other European businesses. As at June 30, 2022, we have recorded a liability of $4.3 million (December 31, 2021 – $4.6 million).
 
12
In May 2022, the Trustees of the UK Plan entered into an agreement with Legal and General Assurance Society Limited to acquire an insurance policy that operates as an investment asset, with the intent of matching the remaining uninsured part of the UK Plan’s future cash flow arising from the accrued pension liabilities of members. Such an arrangement is commonly termed as a
“buy-in”.
The
buy-in
reduces the UK Plan’s value at risk in relation to key risks associated with improved longevity, inflation and interest rate movements whilst improving the security to the UK Plan and its members. The Company consequently benefits from the
buy-in
as it reduces the UK Plan’s potential reliance on the Company for future cash funding requirements. In accordance with US GAAP the
buy-in
does not trigger a remeasurement at an interim period, so accounting entries to reflect this will be included in Innospec’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended
December
 31, 2022.

All of the $16.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.
In 2021 a
non-U.S.
subsidiary, Innospec Limited, entered into a review by the U.K. tax authorities under the U.K.’s Profit Diversion Compliance Facility (“PDCF”). The Company determined that additional tax and interest totaling $0.9 million may arise during the course of the PDCF review process which is currently ongoing. This includes a reduction for foreign exchange movements of $0.1 million recorded in the six months to June 30, 2022.
A
non-U.S.
subsidiary, Innospec Performance Chemicals Italia Srl, is subject to an ongoing tax audit in relation to the period 2011 to 2014 inclusive. The Company has determined that additional tax, interest and penalties totaling $3.1 million may arise as a consequence of the tax audit. This includes an increase in interest accrual of $0.1 million and a reduction for foreign exchange movements of $0.3 million recorded in the six months to June 30, 2022. As any additional tax arising as a consequence of the tax audit would be reimbursed by the previous owner under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement, an indemnification asset of the same amount is recorded in the financial statements to reflect this arrangement.
In 2018 the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit in relation to a potential adjustment that could arise as a consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”), but for which retrospective adjustment to the filed 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns was not permissible. The Company has determined that additional tax, interest and penalties totaling $12.3 million may arise in relation to this item. This includes an increase in interest accrued of $0.3 million in the six months to June 30, 2022.
 
13
The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for certain elements of year 2017 and for years 2018 onwards under the statute of limitations. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including the U.K. (2017 onwards), Switzerland (2017 onwards), Germany (2018 onwards), Spain (2018 onwards) and France (2019 onwards).
NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT
As at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had not drawn down on its revolving credit facility.
The Company continues to have available a $250.0 million revolving credit facility until September 25, 2024. The facility contains an accordion feature whereby the Company may elect to increase the total available borrowings by an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million.
As at June 30, 2022, the deferred finance costs of $0.8 
million (December 31, 2021 - 
$1.0 million) related to the arrangement of the credit facility, are included within other current and
non-current
assets at the balance sheet dates.
NOTE 9 – PLANT CLOSURE PROVISIONS
The Company has continuing plans to remediate manufacturing facilities at sites around the world as and when those operations are expected to cease
or
we are required to decommission the sites according to local laws and regulations. The liability for estimated plant closure costs includes costs for environmental remediation liabilities and asset retirement obligations.
The principal site giving rise to asset retirement obligations is the manufacturing site at Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom. There are also asset retirement obligations and environmental remediation liabilities on a much smaller scale in respect of other manufacturing sites.
Movements in the provisions are summarized as follows:

The charge for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.9 million (six months ended June 30, 2021 – $1.9 million). The current year charge represents the accounting accretion only, with no changes for the expected cost and scope of future remediation activities.
Amounts due within one year refer to provisions where expenditure is expected to arise within one year of the balance sheet date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Cash and cash equivalents:
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of such instruments.
Emissions Trading Scheme credits:
The fair value is determined by the open market pricing at the end of the reporting period.
Derivatives:
The fair value of derivatives relating to foreign currency forward exchange contracts are derived from current settlement prices and comparable contracts using current assumptions. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily relate to contracts entered into to hedge future known transactions or hedge balance sheet net cash positions. The movements in the carrying amounts and fair values of these contracts are largely due to changes in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.
Finance leases:
Finance leases relate to certain fixed assets in our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments. The carrying amount of finance leases approximates to the fair value.
Stock equivalent units:
The fair values of stock equivalent units are calculated at each balance sheet date using either the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo method depending on the terms of each grant.
 
15
NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company enters into various foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange rate exposure from expected future cash flows. As at June 30, 2022, the contracts have maturity dates of up to twelve months at the date of inception. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments, and their impact on the income statement for the first six months of 2022 was a gain of $2.4 million (first six months of 2021 – a gain of $0.2 million).
NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES
Legal matters
While we are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is subject. It is possible, however, that an adverse resolution of an unexpectedly large number of such individual claims or proceedings could in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a particular year or quarter.
Guarantees
The Company and certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are contingently liable for certain obligations of affiliated companies primarily in the form of guarantees of debt and performance under contracts entered into as a normal business practice. This includes guarantees of
non-U.S.
excise taxes and customs duties. As at June 30, 2022, such guarantees which are not recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements amounted to $6.0 
million (December 31, 2021 - 
$4.6 million). The remaining terms of the fixed maturity guarantees are up to 4 years and one month, with some further guarantees having no fixed expiry date.
Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the Company would be required to perform should the affiliated company fail to fulfil its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements have recourse provisions that would enable the Company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from securities held of the guaranteed parties’ assets.
The Company and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Company.

Higher sales volumes for the Americas were primarily driven by increased demand for our personal care products. Lower sales volumes for EMEA and ASPAC were due to reductions in demand when compared to the strong sales volumes in the prior year. All our regions benefitted from a favorable price and product mix due to increased sales of higher priced products together with the impact of increased raw materials pricing being passed on through higher selling prices. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, due to a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.
Gross margin:
the year over year increase of 1.2 percentage points was primarily due to a favorable sales mix from increased sales of higher margin products.
Operating expenses:
the year over year increase of $1.1 million was primarily due to higher selling expenses to support our increased sales, together with higher personnel-related expenses including higher share-based compensation accruals.

The Americas and ASPAC sales volumes have increased year over year as the global demand for refined fuel products has increased. EMEA sales volumes were lower year over year, primarily due to variations in the timing of demand. Price and product mix was favorable in all our regions due to increased sales of higher margin products and the impact of increased raw materials pricing being passed on through higher selling prices. AvGas volumes were lower than the prior year due to variations in the demand from customers, being partly offset by a favorable price and product mix with a higher proportion of sales to higher margin customers. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, due to a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.
 
23
Gross margin
: the year over year decrease of 2.7 percentage points was primarily due to the continued impact of the time lag for passing higher raw material costs through to selling prices, together with the comparison to a strong prior year.
Operating expenses:
the year over year increase of $3.8 million was due to higher selling expenses to support the increased sales, higher research and development costs and higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals.
Oilfield Services
Net sales:
have increased year over year by $39.0 million, or 47 percent, with the majority of our customer activity continuing to be in the Americas region. Customer demand has continued to increase for the second quarter of 2022, which we believe represents a positive sign for the remainder of 2022.
Gross margin:
the year over year increase of 0.2 percentage points was due to a favorable sales mix, while management continue to maintain prices in a competitive market.
Operating expenses:
the year over year increase of $10.4 million was driven by higher customer service costs which are necessary to support the increase in demand, together with higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals.
Other Income Statement Captions
Corporate costs:
the year over year increase of $6.9 million was primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals and higher performance-related remuneration accruals.
Other net (expense)/income:

Interest expense, net:
was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. Interest expense includes a commitment fee to retain the Company’s revolving credit facility for the term of the agreement.
 
24
Income taxes:
the effective tax rate was 23.6% and 44.1% in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for the items set out in the following table, was 22.8% in 2022 compared with 24.2% in 2021. The 1.4% percentage point decrease in the adjusted effective rate was primarily due to the fact that a lower proportion of the Company’s profits are being generated in higher tax jurisdictions. The Company believes that this adjusted effective tax rate, a
non-GAAP
financial measure, provides useful information to investors and may assist them in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. In addition, management uses this
non-GAAP
financial measure internally to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the GAAP effective tax rate to the adjusted effective tax rate:

Higher sales volumes for the Americas were primarily driven by increased demand for our personal care products. Lower sales volumes for EMEA and ASPAC were due to reductions in demand when compared to the strong sales volumes in the prior year. All our regions benefitted from a favorable price and product mix due to increased sales of higher priced products together with the impact of increased raw materials pricing being passed on through higher selling prices. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, due to a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.
Gross margin:
the year over year increase of 0.3 percentage points was primarily due to a favorable sales mix from increased sales of higher margin products.
Operating expenses:
the year over year increase of $3.5 million was due to higher selling expenses to support our increased sales, higher research and development costs and higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals.

The Americas and ASPAC sales volumes have increased year over year as the global demand for refined fuel products has increased. Price and product mix was favorable in all our regions due to increased sales of higher margin products and the impact of increased raw materials pricing being passed on through higher selling prices. AvGas volumes were higher than the prior year due to variations in the demand from customers, being offset by an adverse price and product mix with a higher proportion of sales to lower margin customers. EMEA and ASPAC were adversely impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, due to a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.
 
27
Gross margin
: the year over year decrease of 1.7 percentage points was primarily due to the impact of the time lag for passing higher raw material costs through to selling prices.
Operating expenses:
the year over year increase of $7.9 million was due to higher selling expenses due to increased sales including higher provisions for doubtful debts, higher research and development costs and higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals.
Oilfield Services
Net sales:
have increased year over year by $78.1 million, or 50 percent, with the majority of our customer activity continuing to be in the Americas region. Customer demand has increased during the first half of 2022, which we believe represents a positive sign for the remainder of 2022.
Gross margin:
the year over year increase of 0.3 percentage points was due to a favorable sales mix year over year, while management continue to maintain prices in a competitive market.
Operating expenses:
the year over year increase of $22.4 million was driven by higher customer service costs which are necessary to support the increase in demand, together with higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals.
Other Income Statement Captions
Corporate costs:
the year over year increase of $10.8 million was primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses, including higher share-based compensation accruals and higher performance-related remuneration accruals.
Other net income:
for the first six months of 2022 and 2021, included the following:

Interest expense, net:

Income taxes:
the effective tax rate was 24.0% and 35.4% in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for the items set out in the following table, was 23.6% in the first six months of 2022 compared with 23.8% in the first six months of 2021. The 0.2% percentage point decrease in the adjusted effective rate was primarily due to the fact that a lower proportion of the Company’s profits are being generated in higher tax jurisdictions. The Company believes that this adjusted effective tax rate, a
non-GAAP
financial measure, provides useful information to investors and may assist them in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. In addition, management uses this
non-GAAP
financial measure internally to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the GAAP effective tax rate to the adjusted effective tax rate:

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working Capital
In the first six months of 2022 our working capital increased by $38.6 million, while our adjusted working capital increased by $116.0 million. The difference is primarily due to the exclusion of the decrease in our cash and cash equivalents and the exclusion of movements for income taxes prepaid and due within one year.
The Company believes that adjusted working capital, a
non-GAAP
financial measure, (defined by the Company as trade and other accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities rather than total current assets less total current liabilities) provides useful information to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying performance and identifying operating trends. Management uses this
non-GAAP
financial measure internally to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations. Items excluded from working capital in the adjusted working capital calculation are listed in the table below and represent factors which do not fluctuate in line with the day to day working capital needs of the business.

We had a $55.4 million increase in trade and other accounts receivable driven by increased trading activity across all our reporting segments. Days’ sales outstanding decreased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 64 days to 59 days; increased from 53 days to 62 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and increased from 52 days to 64 days in our Oilfield Services segment.
We had a $84.6 million increase in inventories, net of a $0.4 million increase in allowances, in anticipation of further increases in demand in 2022, while managing the risk of further supply chain disruption for certain key raw materials, especially in our Fuel Specialties segment. Days’ sales in inventory increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 59 days to 66 days; increased from 108 days to 151 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and were unchanged at 76 days in our Oilfield Services segment.
Prepaid expenses decreased $5.8 million, from $18.0 million to $12.2 million due to the normal expensing of prepaid invoices.
We had a $18.2 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which was dependent on the timing of payments for each of our reporting segments. Creditor days (including goods received not invoiced) increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 47 days to 51 days; increased from 50 days to 54 days in our Fuel Specialties segment; and increased from 48 days to 61 days in our Oilfield Services segment.

Operating Cash Flows
We used cash for operating activities of $36.5 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to cash inflows of $21.6 million in the first six months of 2021. The reduction in cash generated from operating activities was principally related to the increase in working capital required to support the growth in sales.
Cash
At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $71.4 million and $141.8 million, respectively, of which $26.7 million and $55.1 million, respectively, were held by
non-U.S.
subsidiaries principally in the United Kingdom.
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $70.4 million for the first six months of 2022 was driven by our increased working capital levels to support sales growth, together with our continued investments in capital projects and the payment of our semi-annual dividend.
Debt
At June 30, 2022, we had no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.0 million of obligations under finance leases relating to certain fixed assets within our Oilfield Services segment.
At December 31, 2021, we had no debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $0.1 million of obligations under finance leases relating to certain fixed assets within our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments.

Item 3    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company uses floating rate debt to finance its global operations. The Company is subject to business risks inherent in
non-U.S.
activities, including political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations, and market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The political and economic risks are mitigated by the stability of the major countries in which the Company’s largest operations are located. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize bad debt risk. Collateral is not generally required.
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives, including interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, in the normal course of business to manage market risks. The derivatives used in hedging activities are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. In addition, the Company enters into derivative instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the exposure to
non-performance
of such instruments. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to reduce volatility on earnings and cash flows associated with such changes.
The Company offers fixed prices for some long-term sales contracts. As manufacturing and raw material costs are subject to variability the Company, from time to time, uses commodity swaps to hedge the cost of some raw materials thus reducing volatility on earnings and cash flows. The derivatives are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. The Company’s objective is to manage its exposure to fluctuating costs of raw materials.
The Company’s exposure to market risk has been discussed in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form
10-K
and there have been no significant changes since that time.

Item 4    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation carried out as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of June 30, 2022, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and of its internal control over financial reporting. This is intended to result in refinements to processes throughout the Company.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules
13a-15
and
15d-15
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1    Legal Proceedings
Legal matters
While we are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is subject.
