Basis of Presentation

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, 2023, filed on February 14, 2024 (the “2023 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,” “the Group,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we are referring to Innospec Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

In relation to the acquisition of QGP Química Geral S.A. (“QGP”) in December 2023, the fair value of the acquired net asset value reported at the end of the previous quarter has been revised. As a result of remeasurement period adjustments, there has been an increase of $3.4 million in the fair value of the net assets acquired, with a corresponding decrease to the acquired goodwill.

The measurement periods for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates becomes available but does not exceed twelve months. We have now completed our alignment of the accounting policies and fair value adjustments and are not expecting further changes at this time.

 

The exchange effect for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $7.7 million relating to our Performance Chemicals segment.

In relation to the acquisition of QGP in December 2023, management have finalized the valuation of customer lists which has increased the intangible asset capitalized by $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Management have also revised the expected useful life of the customer lists from 10 years to 7 years.

 

In 2024, we have capitalized $8.0 million in relation to our internally developed software for a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system covering our EMEA and ASPAC regions. The expenses capitalized include the acquisition costs for the software as well as the external and internal costs of the development.

Pension and Post-Employment Benefits

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 assets of the UK Plan are predominantly insurance policies, operating as investment assets, covering all liabilities. This reduces the UK Plan’s potential reliance on the Company for future cash funding requirements.

 

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 gains 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, 2024, we have recorded a liability of $3.9 million (December 31, 2023 – $4.2 million).

All of the $11.9 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”) in relation to the period 2017 to 2020 inclusive. The Company has determined that additional tax and interest totaling $1.2 million may arise as a result of the ongoing review. Progress was made in concluding the review during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and the Company now believes that it is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease of $1.2 million unrecognized tax benefits during 2024 in relation to this item resulting from settlement of the outstanding tax positions with the U.K. tax authorities.

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 $10.7 million may arise in relation to this item. This includes an increase in interest accrued of $0.5 million in the six months to June 30, 2024. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease of $10.7 million unrecognized tax benefits during 2024 in relation to this item due to a lapse of the statute of limitations.

A non-U.S. subsidiary, Innospec Performance Chemicals Italia Srl, has been 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 $3.4 million will arise as a consequence of the tax audit. As any additional tax arising as a consequence of the tax audit is to 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. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company submitted documentation to the tax authorities confirming its acceptance of the previously disputed position. The amount due should be settled during 2024, and the liability which is expected to arise on ultimate settlement is consistent with the amount recorded as a liability. Due to imminent settlement, this item has been released from unrecognized tax benefits and recognized in accrued income taxes.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for certain elements of 2017 year and for years 2020 onwards under the statute of limitations. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including Brazil (2019 onwards), Germany (2019 onwards), and the U.K. (2017 onwards).

Long-Term Debt

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

As at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had not drawn down on its revolving credit facility. During the first six months of 2024 and 2023, the Company did not draw down or repay any borrowing on its revolving credit facility.

The Company continues to have available a $250.0 million multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Facility") until May 30, 2027. 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.

Effective as of May 20, 2024, the termination date of the Facility was extended from May 30, 2027 to May 31, 2028 in accordance with the terms of the Company’s multicurrency revolving facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”). No other terms of the Facility Agreement or the Facility were modified. The Company paid a customary extension fee in connection with the extension of the Facility as contemplated by the Facility Agreement.

As at June 30, 2024, the deferred finance costs of $1.4 million (December 31, 2023 - $1.2 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.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Emissions Trading Scheme credits: The fair value is determined by the open market pricing at the end of the reporting period.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts: 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.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration: Contingent consideration payable in cash is discounted to its fair value at each balance sheet date. Where contingent consideration is dependent upon pre-determined financial targets, an estimate of the fair value of the likely consideration payable is made at each balance sheet date. The contingent consideration payable has been calculated based on the latest forecast.

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES

Legal matters

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, and employee and product liability claims.

As reported in the 2023 Form 10-K, we have incurred financial losses and lodged a civil and criminal legal claim related to a misappropriation of inventory in Brazil. As at the time of filing, there have been no significant developments to report in relation to the claims being made. Consistent with prior quarters, a corresponding asset for the potential legal or insurance recoveries has not been recorded for the resulting financial losses arising from this matter.

In addition, unrelated to the Brazil matter, in the unlikely event there are an unexpectedly large number of individual claims or proceedings with an adverse resolution, this 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, 2024, such guarantees which are not recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements amounted to $6.9 million (December 31, 2023 - $6.2 million). The remaining terms of the fixed maturity guarantees are up to 8 years, with some further guarantees having no fixed expiry date.

Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the Company would be required to perform the obligations should the affiliated company fail to fulfill 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.

For the awards granted with market conditions, a Monte Carlo model has been used to calculate the grant-date fair value. For all other awards granted, a fair market value methodology has been used to calculate the grant-date fair value.

The awards granted with market conditions include a performance measure for Innospec's total shareholder return as compared to a peer group of companies. This measure can result in a maximum 130% vesting for the number of stock options granted. The maximum potential vesting has been reflected in the grant-date fair value calculation, but not reflected for the number of awards granted, as shown in the table above. All other awards granted in the quarter have similar vesting conditions to those granted in the previous periods.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $28.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
