Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation: In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Albemarle Corporation and our wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries (collectively, “Albemarle,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2022. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet data herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”). The results of operations for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Interest and financing expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 includes an expense of $17.5 million for the correction of out of period errors regarding overstated capitalized interest values in prior periods. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Interest expense was understated by $11.4 million, $5.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company does not believe these adjustments are material to the consolidated financial statements for any of the prior periods presented or to the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, in which they were corrected.
