NOTE 2—SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Innospec divides its business into three segments for management and reporting purposes: Fuel Specialties, Active Chemicals and Octane Additives. The Fuel Specialties and Active Chemicals segments operate in markets where we actively seek growth opportunities but their end customers are different. The Octane Additives segment is generally characterized by volatile and declining demand.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating income. The following table analyzes sales and other financial information by the Company's reportable segments:
