NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim 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 financial statements to be fairly stated. These 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 filed on February 13, 2014.

The results for the interim period covered by this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

When we use the terms the “Corporation,” “Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we are referring to Innospec Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Innospec”) unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Innospec divides its business into three segments for management and reporting purposes: Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals and Octane Additives. The Fuel Specialties and Performance Chemicals segments operate in markets where we actively seek growth opportunities although their ultimate customers are different. The Octane Additives segment continues to decline as expected as our one remaining customer transitions to unleaded fuel.

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:

The Bachman Group Companies Acquisition

On November 4, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interests in Bachman Services, Inc., Specialty Intermediates, Inc., Bachman Production Specialties, Inc. and Bachman Drilling & Production Specialties, Inc. (collectively “Bachman”). Bachman provide chemicals and services to the oil and gas industry and are based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We purchased Bachman for a cash consideration of $45.8 million and by the issuance of 319,953 shares of unregistered Innospec Inc. common stock to the previous owners with a fair value of approximately $15 million, based on the Innospec share price on the closing date. We acquired the businesses in order to move us towards critical mass, and bring both good technology and market positioning in the oilfield specialties sector which forms part of our Fuel Specialties segment.

The following table summarizes the calculations of the total purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Bachman:

(in millions) |  | Bachman |
Other intangible assets |  | $ | 25.9 |
Goodwill |  |  | 23.2 |
Deferred tax on intangibles |  |  | (7.6 | )
Other net assets acquired, excluding cash of $2.0 million |  |  | 17.0 |
Purchase price, net of cash acquired |  | $ | 58.5 |

13

##### Table of Contents

In the second quarter of 2014, a $0.3 million reduction in the purchase price was agreed with the previous owners of Bachman in respect of post-closing working capital adjustments, resulting in a corresponding reduction in other net assets acquired. Also in the second quarter of 2014, we finalized the calculations of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Bachman, resulting in a further $0.3 million reduction in other net assets and a corresponding increase in goodwill.

Bachman, and the associated goodwill, are included within our Fuel Specialties segment for management and reporting purposes.

NOTE 6 – PENSION PLANS

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering a number of its current and former employees in the United Kingdom, although it does also have other much smaller pension arrangements in the U.S. and overseas. The Plan is closed to future service accrual but has a large number of deferred and current pensioners.

|  | Three Months Ended September 30 |  |  | Nine Months Ended September 30 |

|  | $ | (0.8 | ) |  | $ | (0.7 | ) |  | $ | (2.5 | ) |  | $ | (2.1 | )

The amortization of prior service credit and actuarial net losses is a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

A roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties is as follows:

(in millions) |  | Interest and Penalties |  |  | Unrecognized Tax Benefits |  |  | Total |
Opening balance at January 1, 2014 |  | $ | 1.1 |  |  | $ | 11.9 |  |  | $ | 13.0 |
Reductions for tax positions of prior periods |  |  | (0.4 | ) |  |  | (3.6 | ) |  |  | (4.0 | )
Reductions due to lapsed statute of limitations |  |  | (0.2 | ) |  |  | (2.9 | ) |  |  | (3.1 | )
Closing balance at September 30, 2014 |  |  | 0.5 |  |  |  | 5.4 |  |  |  | 5.9 |
Current |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 0.0 |
Non-current |  | $ | 0.5 |  |  | $ | 5.4 |  |  | $ | 5.9 |

All of the unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of income taxes in our consolidated statements of income.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As previously disclosed, as at December 31, 2013, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries were subject to tax audits in the U.S.. On March 6, 2014, the federal income tax examination by the IRS for 2009 was effectively settled. The additional tax cost was nominal and resulted in a reduction of $3.6 million in unrecognized tax benefits and a reduction of $0.4 million in associated interest and penalties in the first quarter of 2014.

15

##### Table of Contents

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for years 2011 onwards. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including France (2012 onwards), Germany (2010 onwards), Switzerland (2012 onwards) and the United Kingdom (2012 onwards).

The Company is in a position to control whether or not to repatriate foreign earnings and we currently do not expect to make a repatriation in the foreseeable future. No taxes have been provided for on the unremitted earnings of our overseas subsidiaries as any tax basis differences relating to investments in these overseas subsidiaries are considered to be permanent in duration. The amount of unremitted earnings at December 31, 2013 was approximately $605 million. If these earnings are remitted, additional taxes could result after offsetting foreign income taxes paid although the calculation of the additional taxes is not practical at this time.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

(in millions) |  | September 30, 2014 |  |  | December 31, 2013 |
Revolving credit facility |  | $ | 115.0 |  |  | $ | 142.0 |
Promissory note |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 5.0 |
Other long-term debt |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 1.0 |
|  |  | 115.0 |  |  |  | 148.0 |
Less current portion |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | (5.3 | )
|  | $ | 115.0 |  |  | $ | 142.7 |

On July 31, 2014 the Company increased its borrowing capacity by $20 million such that its credit facility now provides for borrowings by us of up to $200 million until it expires on December 14, 2016 and may be drawn down in full in the U.S..

NOTE 9 – PLANT CLOSURE PROVISIONS

The liability for estimated closure costs of Innospec’s manufacturing facilities includes costs for decontamination and environmental remediation activities (“remediation”). The principal site giving rise to remediation liabilities is the manufacturing site at Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom. There are also remediation liabilities on a much smaller scale in respect of our other manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe.

Movements in the provisions are summarized as follows:

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30 |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
(in millions) |  | Severance |  |  | Remediation |  |  | Total |  |  | Total |
Total at January 1 |  | $ | 1.0 |  |  | $ | 31.4 |  |  | $ | 32.4 |  |  | $ | 30.4 |

Total at September 30 |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 31.5 |  |  |  | 31.5 |  |  |  | 31.1 |
Due within one year |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | (4.1 | ) |  |  | (4.1 | ) |  |  | (3.7 | )
Due after one year |  | $ | 0.0 |  |  | $ | 27.4 |  |  | $ | 27.4 |  |  | $ | 27.4 |

16

##### Table of Contents

Amounts due within one year refer to provisions where expenditure is expected to arise within one year of the balance sheet date. A severance provision which is no longer required has been released to the income statement in the second quarter of 2014. Remediation costs are recognized in cost of goods sold.

Remediation

The remediation provision represents the Company’s liability for environmental liabilities and asset retirement obligations. The charge for the period represents the accretion expense recognized in the first nine months of 2014.

We recognize environmental liabilities when they are probable and costs can be reasonably estimated, and asset retirement obligations when there is a legal obligation and costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company has to anticipate the program of work required and the associated future expected costs, and comply with environmental legislation in the countries in which it operates or has operated in. The Company views the costs of vacating our Ellesmere Port site as contingent upon if and when it vacates the site because there is no present intention to do so. The Company has further determined that, due to the uncertain product life of TEL particularly in the market for aviation gasoline and other products being manufactured on the site, there are uncertainties as to the probability and timing of the expected costs. Such uncertainties have been considered in estimating the provision.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes a mid-market pricing convention for valuing the majority of its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The Company gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. In the first nine months of 2014, the Company evaluated the fair value hierarchy levels assigned to its assets and liabilities, and concluded that there should be no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 and 3.

##### Table of Contents

The following table presents the carrying amount and fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

Acquisition-related contingent consideration |  |  | 4.9 |  |  |  | 4.9 |  |  |  | 4.6 |  |  |  | 4.6 |

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.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company has limited involvement with derivative instruments and does not trade them. The Company does use derivatives to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and raw material cost exposures, as the need arises. As at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company did not hold any interest rate or raw material derivatives.

The Company enters into various foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange rate exposure from expected future cash flows. As at September 30, 2014 the contracts have maturity dates of up to eighteen 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 nine months of 2014 was a gain of $2.0 million.

The Company sells a range of Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals and Octane Additives products to major oil refineries, oil & gas exploration and production companies and chemical companies throughout the world. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are intended to minimize bad debt risk. Collateral is not generally required.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Jalal Bezee Mejel Al-Gaood & Partner litigation

On September 19, 2012, a claim was filed in the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom by Jalal Bezee Mejel Al-Gaood & Partner and Future Agencies Company Limited (collectively “JAG”) against the Company, Innospec Limited and a former employee of Innospec Limited. JAG was the former Iraq distributor for Afton Chemicals Limited, a subsidiary of NewMarket Corporation, from at least 2005 until termination of that relationship in 2011. The stated claim, inclusive of costs and expenses, was for up to $42.3 million and relates to alleged loss of profits for JAG’s business in Iraq between 2004 and 2010. The Company has always believed the allegations in the claim were without merit and has defended vigorously its interests. On October 8, 2014, the judge dismissed the Claimant’s case in its entirety. The judgment also allows Innospec to bring a claim for reimbursement of its legal expenses.

Other 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 other 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 September 30, 2014, such guarantees which are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements amounted to $6.4 million.

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.

NOTE 13 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

At September 30, 2014, the Company had authorized common stock of 40,000,000 shares (December 31, 2013 – 40,000,000). Issued shares at September 30, 2014, were 29,554,500 (December 31, 2013 – 29,554,500) and treasury stock amounted to 5,126,216 shares (December 31, 2013 – 5,207,947).

The Company grants stock options and stock equivalent units (“SEUs”) from time to time as a long-term performance incentive. In certain cases the grants are subject to performance conditions such as the Company’s stock price. Where performance conditions apply the Monte Carlo simulation model is used to determine the fair values. Otherwise the Black-Scholes model is used to determine the fair values.

Stock option plans

The Company has four active stock option plans, two of which provide for the grant of stock options to employees and one provides for the grant of stock options to non-employee directors. The fourth plan is a savings plan which provides for the grant of stock options to all Company employees provided they commit to make regular savings over a pre-defined period which can then be used to purchase common stock upon vesting of the options. The stock options have discrete vesting periods which range from 24 months to 6 years and in all cases stock options granted expire within 10 years of the date of grant. All grants are at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Grants may be priced at market value or at a premium or discount (including at no cost). The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance which can be granted under the plans is 2,640,000.

The following table summarizes the transactions of the Company’s stock option plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

|  | Number of Options |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at December 31, 2013 |  |  | 447,390 |  |  | $ | 7.33 |  |  |  |  |
Granted - at discount |  |  | 370,925 |  |  | $ | 28.14 |  |  | $ | 13.88 |
- at market value |  |  | 21,542 |  |  | $ | 46.03 |  |  | $ | 14.18 |
Exercised |  |  | (102,682 | ) |  | $ | 4.50 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited |  |  | (11,652 | ) |  | $ | 7.19 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at September 30, 2014 |  |  | 725,523 |  |  | $ | 19.52 |  |  |  |  |

At September 30, 2014, there were 135,621 stock options that were exercisable, of which 51,001 had performance conditions attached.

The Company’s policy is to issue shares from treasury stock to holders of stock options who exercise those options, but if sufficient treasury stock is not available, the Company will issue previously unissued shares of stock to holders of stock options who exercise options.

The stock option compensation cost for the first nine months of 2014 was $1.7 million (2013 – $1.9 million). The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the first nine months of 2014 was $0.9 million (2013 – $3.2 million).

The total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized at September 30, 2014 was $5.3 million and this cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.46 years.

Stock equivalent units

SEUs have discrete vesting periods which range from 11 months to 4 years and in all cases SEUs granted expire within 10 years of the date of grant. Grants may be priced at market value or at a premium or discount (including at no cost). There is no limit to the number of SEUs that can be granted. The liability for SEUs is located in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets until they are cash settled.

The following table summarizes the transactions of the Company’s SEUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

|  | Number of SEUs |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at December 31, 2013 |  |  | 403,262 |  |  | $ | 3.64 |  |  |  |  |
Granted - at discount |  |  | 50,713 |  |  | $ | 0.00 |  |  | $ | 33.33 |
- at market value |  |  | 7,147 |  |  | $ | 46.03 |  |  | $ | 14.18 |
Exercised |  |  | (164,717 | ) |  | $ | 4.86 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited |  |  | (6,442 | ) |  | $ | 7.02 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at September 30, 2014 |  |  | 289,963 |  |  | $ | 3.37 |  |  |  |  |

At September 30, 2014 there were 95,526 SEUs that are exercisable, of which 84,267 had performance conditions attached.

The charges for SEUs are spread over the life of the award subject to a revaluation to fair value each quarter. The revaluation may result in a charge or a credit to the income statement in the quarter dependent upon our share price and other performance criteria.

The SEU compensation cost for the first nine months of 2014 was $0.3 million (2013—$6.3 million). The total intrinsic value of SEUs exercised in the first nine months of 2014 was $3.5 million (2013 – $2.1 million).

The weighted-average remaining vesting period of non-vested SEUs is 1.63 years.

Additional exceptional long-term incentive plan

In the first quarter of 2014, Innospec implemented an additional exceptional long-term incentive plan to reward selected executives with a cash bonus for delivering exceptional performance. One of the elements of the plan is payable only if the Innospec share performance matches or out-performs that of competitors, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, over the performance period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016. The maximum cash bonus payable under this element of the plan is $3 million and is accounted for as share-based compensation. As such, the fair value of these liability cash-settled long-term incentives is calculated on a quarterly basis. The fair value is calculated using a Monte Carlo model and is summarized as follows:

(in millions) |  | 2014 |
Balance at January 1 |  | $ | 0.0 |
Compensation charge for the period |  |  | 0.1 |
Balance at September 30 |  | $ | 0.1 |

NOTE 15 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law or if the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments are to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date and may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The implementation of the amended accounting guidance has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 16 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Robert I. Paller has been a non-executive director of the Company since November 1, 2009. The Company has retained and continues to retain Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP (“SGR”), a law firm with which Mr. Paller holds a position. In the first nine months of 2014 the Company incurred fees from SGR of $0.8 million (2013 – $0.9 million). As at September 30, 2014, the amount due to SGR from the Company was $0.5 million (December 31, 2013 - $0.2 million).

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 27, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Independence Oilfield Chemicals LLC (“Independence”). Independence, based in Houston Texas, services the oil and gas industry, with a focus on completion, stimulation and production chemicals. We purchased Independence for a total discounted consideration of $212.8 million, with an initial payment at closing of $99.0 million funded from existing cash and debt facilities. Innospec will make two deferred consideration payments, with the first one payable approximately one year after closing, and the second one payable approximately two years after closing, with a portion of such deferred payments payable, at Innospec’s election, in shares of Innospec’s common stock. We acquired the business in order to move forward our strategy of building a new market leader in the oilfield specialties sector which forms part of our Fuel Specialties segment.

At the time of filing our September 30, 2014 Form 10-Q, we are unable to provide supplemental pro forma information due to the timing of the acquisition being completed.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The policies and estimates that the Company considers the most critical in terms of complexity and subjectivity of assessment are those related to contingencies, environmental liabilities, pensions, deferred tax and uncertain income tax positions, business combinations, goodwill, and other intangible assets (net of amortization) and property, plant and equipment. These policies have been discussed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Americas saw a decrease in volumes in the third quarter of 2014 as a result of lower demand, while benefiting from an improved price and product mix. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Bachman, continued to generate additional sales compared to 2013. EMEA volumes decreased from the prior year due to weaker trading conditions and the impact of government sanctions related to Russia, partly offset by an improved price and product mix. EMEA benefited from favorable exchange rates driven primarily by a strengthening of the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar compared to the third quarter of 2013. Volumes were lower in ASPAC due to the loss of a contract in 2013 which offset increased underlying volumes, combined with a favorable price and product mix as a result of higher sales of higher value products. AvTel volumes increased due to the timing of shipments to customers as opposed to any change in the long-term outlook for that market, while the price and product mix was adversely impacted by changes in the customer mix.

26

##### Table of Contents

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 3.1 percentage points primarily reflected higher sales of higher margin products particularly in oilfield specialties, and favorable manufacturing variances in our AvTel business.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 41%, or $8.4 million, was primarily due to $6.7 million of additional costs for the Bachman businesses; a $1.8 million increase in bad debt provisions; partly offset by a $0.5 million decrease in personnel-related compensation costs, primarily due to lower accruals for share-based compensation expense; and a $0.4 million increase in other expenses.

Performance Chemicals

Net sales: the table below details the components which comprise the year on year change in net sales spread across the markets in which we operate:

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 |

Increased Personal Care volumes in the Americas were partly offset by lower volumes in Fragrance Ingredients and for an industrial product, while negatively impacted to a lesser degree by an adverse price and product mix. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Chemsil and Chemtec, continued to generate additional sales compared to 2013. Volumes in EMEA were higher including continuing increases for Personal Care, while price and product mix was adversely impacted by an increase in sales of lower value products. ASPAC volumes were higher in Personal Care offset by lower volumes in other markets. ASPAC benefitted from favorable price and product mix in our Personal Care and Fragrance Ingredients markets. All our markets benefited from favorable exchange rates driven by a strengthening of the European Union euro and the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar compared to the third quarter of 2013.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 0.8 percentage points primarily reflected a richer sales mix driven by a greater proportion of sales from our high-margin Personal Care market, including our Chemsil business.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 29%, or $1.6 million, was primarily in respect of $1.4 million of additional costs for our Chemsil and Chemtec businesses, together with a $0.2 million increase in other costs.

Octane Additives

Net sales: the year on year increase of 101% was primarily due to the timing of shipments with our one remaining customer.

27

##### Table of Contents

Gross margin: the year on year decrease of 4.9 percentage points was due to adverse manufacturing variances and the declining activity in our environmental remediation business.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of $0.2 million was due to the timing of expenditure in our environmental business.

Other Income Statement Captions

Pension charge: is non-cash, and was a $0.8 million net charge in 2014 compared to a $0.7 million net charge in 2013.

Corporate costs: the year on year increase of 6%, or $0.6 million, related to $0.9 million higher costs for amortization of the new information system platform; $0.4 million higher legal, professional and other expenses; partly offset by $0.5 million lower personnel-related compensation costs, primarily due to lower accruals for share-based compensation expense together with accruals for the new cash-based long-term incentive plan; and a $0.2 million reduction in insurance claims.

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill: was $0.0 million in 2014 and $0.4 million in 2013, following the final impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Other net income/(expense): other net income of $1.0 million primarily related to net gains of $2.7 million on foreign currency forward exchange contracts, partly offset by $1.8 million of losses on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses. In 2013, other net expense of $0.8 million primarily related to net losses of $1.7 million on foreign currency forward exchange contracts, partly offset by gains of $1.0 million on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses.

Interest expense, net: was $0.8 million in 2014 and $0.4 million in 2013 due to the higher level of borrowing during the quarter, used primarily to fund our acquisition activity in the second half of 2013.

Income taxes: the effective tax rate was 18.1% and 23.5% in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for non-recurring items relating to the adjustment of income tax provisions was 25.2% compared to 23.0% in the prior year. The 2.2% increase was primarily due to the third quarter of 2014 benefiting to a lesser extent from the positive impact of taxable profits in different geographical locations as compared to the third quarter of 2013. 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.

Net sales: the table below details the components which comprise the year on year change in net sales spread across the markets in which we operate:

Americas saw an increase in volumes in the first nine months of 2014 as a result of higher demand, while benefiting from an improved price and product mix. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Bachman, generated additional sales compared to 2013. EMEA volumes decreased from the prior year due to weaker trading conditions and the impact of government sanctions related to Russia, partly offset by an improved price and product mix. EMEA benefited from favorable exchange rates driven primarily by a strengthening of the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar. Volumes were lower in ASPAC due to the loss of a contract in 2013 which offset increased underlying volumes, combined with an adverse price and product mix as a result of lower sales of higher margin products. AvTel volumes were slightly higher due to the timing of shipments to customers as opposed to any change in the long-term outlook for that market, while the price and product mix was negatively impacted by an adverse customer mix.

Gross margin: the year on year decrease of 0.2 percentage points reflected lower sales of some higher margin products partly offset by a higher margin contribution from oilfield specialties.

29

##### Table of Contents

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 28%, or $17.6 million, was due to $17.8 million of additional costs for the Bachman businesses; a $1.8 million increase in bad debt provisions; offset by a $1.4 million decrease in personnel-related compensation costs, partly due to lower accruals for share-based compensation expense; and a $0.6 million decrease in other expenses.

Performance Chemicals

Net sales: the table below details the components which comprise the year on year change in net sales spread across the markets in which we operate:

|  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 |

Volumes in the Americas were lower, primarily due to lower volumes in Fragrance Ingredients and for an industrial product partly offset by increased Personal Care volumes. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Chemsil and Chemtec, generated additional sales compared to 2013. Volumes in EMEA were higher than the prior year, primarily due to higher volumes in Personal Care and Fragrance Ingredients, while negatively impacted by an adverse price and product mix. ASPAC volumes were higher in Personal Care, while also benefitting from a favorable price and product mix in those markets. All our markets benefited from favorable exchange rates driven primarily by a strengthening of the European Union euro and the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 1.2 percentage points primarily reflected a richer sales mix driven by a greater proportion of sales from our Personal Care market, including our Chemsil business.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 37%, or $5.9 million, was primarily in respect of $5.6 million of additional costs for our Chemsil and Chemtec businesses, together with a $0.3 million increase in other costs.

Octane Additives

Net sales: the year on year decrease of 3% was primarily due to the timing of shipments and declining demand with our one remaining customer.

Gross margin: the year on year decrease of 2.5 percentage points was due to adverse manufacturing variances and the declining activity in our environmental remediation business.

##### Table of Contents

Operating expenses: the year on year decrease of $0.4 million was due to the efficient management of the cost base.

Other Income Statement Captions

Pension charge: is non-cash, and was a $2.5 million net charge in 2014 compared to $2.1 million net charge in 2013, primarily due to a higher interest cost on the projected benefit obligation.

Corporate costs: the year on year increase of 1%, or $0.3 million, related to $2.8 million higher costs for amortization of the new information system platform; $1.1 million of higher provisions for insurance claims; partly offset by $1.8 million lower personnel-related compensation costs, primarily due to lower accruals for share-based compensation expense together with accruals for the new cash-based long-term incentive plan; the release of a $0.8 million restructuring provision which is no longer required; and $1.0 million lower legal, professional and other expenses.

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill: was $0.0 million in 2014 and $1.0 million in 2013, following the final impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Other net income/(expense): other net income of $2.2 million primarily related to net gains of $2.0 million on foreign currency forward exchange contracts. In 2013, other net expense of $0.8 million primarily related to net losses of $0.7 million on foreign exchange gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

Interest expense, net: was $2.5 million in 2014 and $1.1 million in 2013 due to the higher level of borrowing during 2014, used primarily to fund our acquisition activity in the second half of 2013.

Income taxes: the effective tax rate was 17.6% and 20.9% for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for non-recurring items relating to the adjustment of income tax provisions was 23.5% compared to 21.4% in the prior year. The 2.1% increase was primarily due to the current and prior quarters of 2014 benefiting to a lesser extent from the positive impact of taxable profits in different geographical locations. 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.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working Capital

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 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.

(in millions) |  | September 30, 2014 |  |  | December 31, 2013 |
Total current assets |  | $ | 397.6 |  |  | $ | 407.4 |
Total current liabilities |  |  | (121.4 | ) |  |  | (155.6 | )
Working capital |  |  | 276.2 |  |  |  | 251.8 |
Less cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (90.4 | ) |  |  | (80.2 | )
Less short-term investments |  |  | (4.9 | ) |  |  | (6.6 | )
Less current portion of deferred tax assets |  |  | (8.7 | ) |  |  | (8.7 | )
Less prepaid income taxes |  |  | (0.6 | ) |  |  | (11.4 | )

Adjusted working capital |  | $ | 175.9 |  |  | $ | 163.7 |

In the first nine months of 2014 our adjusted working capital increased by $12.2 million, compared to an $18.7 million increase in the first nine months of 2013. It is normal for our working capital requirements to increase in the first nine months of the year in advance of our peak sales in the fourth quarter. The increase in 2013 was higher than 2014 primarily due to an increase in inventory in the third quarter of 2013 due to the timing of large shipments made in the fourth quarter of 2013.

We had an $18.5 million decrease in trade and other accounts receivable in the first nine months of 2014, which is primarily reflected in our Fuel Specialties and Octane Additives segments. The level of trade accounts receivable is typically driven by the level of sales in the quarter preceding the period end, with sales for the third quarter of 2014 being $13.4 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2013 across all our segments. Days’ sales outstanding in our Fuel Specialties segment decreased from 49 days to 45 days and decreased from 51 days to 48 days in our Performance Chemicals segment.

We had a $13.0 million increase in inventories in the first nine months of 2014. For Fuel Specialties, we have built inventory ahead of our peak sales in the fourth quarter, while in Performance Chemicals inventories have increased in anticipation of seasonal production schedules. Days’ sales in inventory in our Fuel Specialties segment increased from 79 days to 93 days and increased slightly in our Performance Chemicals segment from 96 days to 97 days.

Prepaid expenses decreased $2.0 million from $5.8 million to $3.8 million, due to the expensing of prepaid costs during the first nine months, and the timing of insurance invoices received.

##### Table of Contents

We had a $19.7 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the first nine months of 2014, which primarily reflected payments to external suppliers subsequent to the year end, together with payments for personnel-related compensation. Creditor days in our Fuel Specialties segment decreased from 32 days to 28 days and in our Performance Chemicals segment decreased from 42 days to 32 days.

Operating Cash Flows

We generated cash from operating activities of $59.0 million in 2014 compared to $31.8 million in 2013. Year over year cash from operating activities has been positively impacted by increased net income, after adding back increased amortization costs from the recent acquisitions, and significant movements in income taxes.

Cash

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we had cash and cash equivalents of $90.4 million and $80.2 million, respectively, of which $84.2 million and $73.3 million, respectively, were held by non-U.S. subsidiaries principally in the United Kingdom. The Company is in a position to control whether or not to repatriate foreign earnings. We currently do not expect to make a repatriation in the foreseeable future and hence have not provided for future income taxes on the cash held by overseas subsidiaries. If circumstances were to change that would cause these earnings to be repatriated, an additional U.S. tax liability could be incurred, and we continue to monitor this position.

Short-term investments

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had short-term investments of $4.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

Debt

At September 30, 2014, the Company had debt outstanding of $115.0 million under its credit facility. Following the acquisition of Independence Oilfield Chemicals LLC on October 27, 2014 the Company will have debt outstanding of $154.0 million under its credit facility as at October 31, 2014. The Company has funded the acquisition with existing cash and debt facilities which the Company believes will continue to provide adequate sources of liquidity for future working capital needs.

On July 31, 2014 the Company increased its borrowing capacity by $20 million such that its credit facility now provides for borrowings by us of up to $200 million until it expires on December 14, 2016 and may be drawn down in full in the U.S.

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 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.

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.

##### Table of Contents

The Company offers fixed prices for some long-term sales contracts. As manufacturing and raw material costs are subject to variability the Company 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 2013 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 September 30, 2014.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company is continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and of its internal controls. This is intended to result in refinements to processes throughout the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s 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, during the most recent fiscal quarter 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

Jalal Bezee Mejel Al-Gaood & Partner litigation

On September 19, 2012, a claim was filed in the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom by Jalal Bezee Mejel Al-Gaood & Partner and Future Agencies Company Limited (collectively “JAG”) against the Company, Innospec Limited and a former employee of Innospec Limited. JAG was the former Iraq distributor for Afton Chemicals Limited, a subsidiary of NewMarket Corporation, from at least 2005 until termination of that relationship in 2011. The stated claim, inclusive of costs and expenses, was for up to $42.3 million and relates to alleged loss of profits for JAG’s business in Iraq between 2004 and 2010. The Company has always believed the allegations in the claim were without merit and has defended vigorously its interests. On October 8, 2014, the judge dismissed the Claimant’s case in its entirety. The judgment also allows Innospec to bring a claim for reimbursement of its legal expenses.

Other 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 other 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 results of operations for a particular year or quarter.
