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, 2018 filed on February 20, 2019 (the “2018 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.
Leases
With an effective date of January 1, 2019 we have applied Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Revision to Lease Accounting, ASC Topic 842 which replaces ASC Topic 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease).
The standard was adopted using a modified retrospective transition method, with the Company electing not to adjust comparative periods. We have taken the election not to apply the requirements to short-term leases and have taken the election not to separate related non-lease components from lease components.
The standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, but did not have an impact on our consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities and the related deferred taxes thereon for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. Operating lease liabilities recognized under the new standard are not considered to be debt.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The present value of the future lease payments for operating leases is included in operating lease ROU assets, and operating lease liabilities (current and non-current) on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019. The carrying value of assets under finance leases is included in property, plant and equipment and finance lease liabilities (current and non-current) on our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments over the remaining lease term. Very few of our leases have renewal

Table of Contents
options or early termination break clauses, but where they do we have assessed the term of the lease based on any options being exercised only if they are reasonably certain. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at point of recognition in determining the present value of future payments.
The operating lease ROU asset excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless payments are variable per the agreement. Where we have lease payments linked to an index or inflationary rate, this rate has been used to value the asset and liability at the inception of the lease. If the payments are not linked to a specific index or inflationary rate, but can vary during the term of the agreement, they have been included at their actual value for each future period. In some circumstances the future expected payments may be dependent on other factors, for example production volumes, in which case we have used the minimum future expected payments to value the asset.
We do not recognize a ROU asset or operating lease liability for short-term leases (with a length of one year or less), and any associated cost is recognized, as incurred, through the income statement.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company reports its financial performance based on the following four reportable segments: Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals, Oilfield Services and Octane Additives.
The Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals and Oilfield Services segments operate in markets where we actively seek growth opportunities although their ultimate customers are different. The Octane Additives segment is expected to decline in the near future as our one remaining refinery customer transitions to unleaded fuel.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating income. The following tables analyze sales and other financial information by the Company’s reportable segments:

NOTE 7 – PENSION AND POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
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.
The net service cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 – $0.3 million and $0.6 million respectively) and has been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses within corporate costs. The following table shows the income statement effect recognized within other income, net:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30 |  |  | Six Months Ended June 30 |

The amortization of prior service credit and actuarial net losses is a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into other income and expense.
The Company also maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering a number of its current and former employees in Germany (the “German plan”) within our Fuel Specialties segment. The German plan is closed to new entrants and has no assets. The net service cost for the German plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 – $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively). The following table shows the income statement effect recognized within other income and expense:

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
A roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties is as follows:

(in millions) |  | Unrecognized Tax Benefits |  |  | Interest and Penalties |  |  | Total |
Opening balance at January 1 |  | $ | 13.4 |  |  | $ | 0.6 |  |  | $ | 14.0 |
Additions for tax positions of prior periods |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 0.6 |  |  |  | 0.6 |
Closing balance at June 30 |  |  | 13.4 |  |  |  | 1.2 |  |  |  | 14.6 |
Current |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | 0.0 |
Non-current |  | $ | 13.4 |  |  | $ | 1.2 |  |  | $ | 14.6 |

We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as part of income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above, we have also accrued a net increase in interest and penalties of $0.6 million during the first six months of 2019, and a net increase in interest and penalties of $0.3 million in 2018. Total accrued interest and penalties at June 30, 2019 on all remaining unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $1.2 million (December 31, 2018 – $0.6 million).
All of the $14.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.
As previously disclosed, tax audits have been opened by the Italian tax authorities in respect of Innospec Performance Chemicals Italia Srl, acquired as part of the Huntsman business, in relation to the period 2011 to 2013 inclusive. The Company believes that additional tax of approximately $0.5 million, together with associated interest of $0.2 million, may arise as a result of the 2011 audit. This amount was recorded at December 31, 2017. During 2018, the Company determined that additional tax of approximately $0.9 million, together with associated interest of $0.3 million, may arise as a result of the 2012 and 2013 audits collectively.
Additional interest of $
0.1
million has been recorded in the six months to June 30, 2019.
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 unrecognized tax benefit of $
2.0
million is recorded, together with an indemnification asset of the same amount to reflect the fact that the final liability would be reimbursed by the previous owner.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of $10.8 million. This portion primarily relates to a potential adjustment that could arise as a consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, but for which retrospective adjustment to the filed 2017 U.S. federal income tax returns was not permissible. The Company accrued a net increase in interest of $0.5 million in the first six months of 2019 relating to this matter.
The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for years 2015 onwards under the statute of limitations. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including Spain (2014 onwards), Italy (2013 onwards), France (2016 onwards), Germany (2014 onwards), Switzerland (2014 onwards) and the United Kingdom (2017 onwards).

Stock equivalent units |  |  | 17.9 |  |  |  | 17.9 |  |  |  | 15.1 |  |  |  | 15.1 |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and bank overdraft:
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of such instruments.
Derivatives:
The fair value of derivatives relating to foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps 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. Interest rate swaps relate to contracts taken out to hedge interest rate risk on a portion of our credit facilities borrowing.
Long-term debt and finance leases:
Long-term debt principally comprises the term loan and revolving credit facility, which are shown net of deferred finance costs that have been capitalized. The fair value of long-term debt approximates to the carrying value, as the discounting to its present value is offset by the interest rate swaps. Finance leases relate to certain fixed assets in our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments. The carrying amount of long-term debt and 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.

Table of Contents
NOTE 12 – 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, 2019 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 2019 was a gain of $1.0 million (first six months of 2018: loss of $1.3 million).
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to minimize interest rate exposure related to a part of our borrowing requirements. These interest rate swaps have been designated as hedging instruments, and their impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the first six months of 2019 was a loss of $1.5 million (first six months of 2018: gain of $1.3 million).
NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND 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, 2019, such guarantees which are not recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements amounted to $4.6 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.
Network Security Incident
On June 27, 2019 we experienced a network security incident that prevented access to certain information technology systems and data within our network. The Company took prompt action designed to contain the incident and implemented our business continuity plan. We are working closely with external cybersecurity experts to restore any remaining affected information technology systems. The matter was reported to U.S. law enforcement authorities and the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom.
21
Table of Contents
Since the time of the network security incident, our manufacturing processes, which rely on separate networks, have continued to operate safely, largely without interruption, and in compliance with all environmental regulations. The security incident primarily impacted our computer access, email, as well as our computing functions which included: order entry, shipping and receiving, vendor payments, production scheduling, and other systems. These are now either restored or being processed manually, thereby providing business continuity, although resulting in certain delays in sales execution.
We have also taken additional precautionary measures to ensure the continued safe operations of our sites. We have found no evidence that any customer, supplier or employee information was accessed or extracted during the incident, or that any customer or supplier systems or data outside our network have been impacted.
We are still assessing the full financial impact of the incident, including in relation to responsive insurance coverages that may be available, but we believe it has not materially impacted the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Although we expect to incur material future costs, we believe the vast majority will be covered by insurance policies and therefore will have minimal overall net impact on future results. Future orders may be impacted, as we manage production scheduling and shipping, potentially causing delays in order fulfilment. Any delays in order fulfilment or other impacts from this incident may result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
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 following table summarizes the transactions of the Company’s stock option plans for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Table of Contents
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 six months of 2019 was $11.8 million (first six months of 2018 – $5.3 million). The total intrinsic value of SEUs exercised in the first six months of 2019 was $7.1 million (first six months of 2018 – $2.4 million).
The weighted-average remaining vesting period of
non-vested
SEUs is
2.20
years.

NOTE 16 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326). This replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. Adoption of the standard will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes and systems.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed 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 business combinations, environmental liabilities, pensions, income taxes, goodwill and property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets (net of depreciation and amortization). These policies have been discussed in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reports its financial performance based on the following four reportable segments: Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals, Oilfield Services and Octane Additives.
The following table provides operating income by reporting segment:

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 June 30, 2019 |
Change (%) |  | Americas |  |  | EMEA |  |  | ASPAC |  |  | AvTel |  |  | Total |
Volume |  |  | -21 |  |  |  | -7 |  |  |  | -4 |  |  |  | +117 |  |  |  | -2 |
Price and product mix |  |  | +21 |  |  |  | +9 |  |  |  | +10 |  |  |  | -96 |  |  |  | +5 |
Exchange rates |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | -9 |  |  |  | -1 |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | -4 |
|  |  | 0 |  |  |  | -7 |  |  |  | +5 |  |  |  | +21 |  |  |  | -1 |

Volumes were lower in all our regions driven by a reduction in the sales of low margin high volumes products. All our regions benefitted from favorable price and product mix due to the increased sales of higher margin products. AvTel volumes were higher than the prior year due to variations in the demand from customers, partly offset by an adverse price and product mix. EMEA and ASPAC were negatively impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, driven by a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.
Gross margin
: the year on year gross margin increased by 0.3 percentage points compared to a strong comparative quarter, driven by a favorable sales mix and despite some disruption to the supply of raw materials.
Operating expenses:
the year on year decrease of $0.2 million was primarily driven by a decrease in the provisions for doubtful debts.
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 June 30, 2019 |
Change (%) |  | Americas |  |  | EMEA |  |  | ASPAC |  |  | Total |
Volume |  |  | -10 |  |  |  | -5 |  |  |  | +10 |  |  |  | -6 |
Price and product mix |  |  | +5 |  |  |  | -5 |  |  |  | -11 |  |  |  | -2 |
Exchange rates |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | -6 |  |  |  | -4 |  |  |  | -4 |
|  |  | -5 |  |  |  | -16 |  |  |  | -5 |  |  |  | -12 |

Higher volumes in ASPAC were offset by an adverse price and product mix due to increased sales of lower margin products. Lower volumes in the Americas and EMEA were driven by a customer taking some volume in-house. Price and product mix in the Americas benefitted from increased sales of higher margin products, while EMEA was adversely impacted by lower raw material prices driving lower selling prices for certain products. EMEA and ASPAC were negatively 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 on year increase of 2.9 percentage points was driven by an improved sales mix, better raw material prices and the continued benefit of several improvement projects.
Operating expenses:
the year on year decrease of $1.1 million was due to the benefit of a weaker European Union euro against the U.S. dollar, together with lower costs as a result of the closure of our operation in Belgium in the prior year.

Table of Contents
Oilfield Services
Net sales:
the year on year increase of $27.5 million, or 29 percent, was due to improved customer activity in production and stimulation driven by increased sales of higher margin products.
Gross margin:
the year on year increase of 3.8 percentage points was primarily due to a favorable sales mix.
Operating expenses:
the year on year increase of $6.9 million was driven by higher selling and technical support expenses required to deliver the increase in customer demand.
Octane Additives
Net sales:
were $1.9 million in the quarter compared to $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. Reduced sales are in line with expectations as our one remaining customer continues their transition to unleaded fuel.
Gross margin:
the year on year decrease of 11.6 percentage points was due to lower production volumes spread over the predominantly fixed cost of manufacturing operations.
Operating expenses:
the year on year increase of $0.1 million was due to the timing of incidental expenditure.
Other Income Statement Captions
Corporate costs:
the year on year decrease of $0.8 million primarily relates to lower amortization of our internally developed software following the amortization of our first deployment to the Americas which ended in the third quarter of 2018, together with the benefit of a weakening of the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar for our United Kingdom cost base; partly offset by higher personnel related expenses including higher share-based compensation accruals.
Other net income/(loss):
for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, includes the following:

|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | Change |
United Kingdom pension credit |  | $ | 1.9 |  |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 0.3 |
German pension charge |  |  | 0.0 |  |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | 0.1 |
Foreign exchange losses on translation |  |  | (2.7 | ) |  |  | (2.6 | ) |  |  | (0.1 | )
Foreign currency forward contracts gains |  |  | 0.8 |  |  |  | 4.1 |  |  |  | (3.3 | )
|  | $ | 0.0 |  |  | $ | 3.0 |  |  | $ | (3.0 | )

Interest expense, net:
was $1.2 million in the second quarter compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of the prior year, driven by lower average net debt as the business has generated cash inflows and repaid a portion of the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Income taxes:
the effective tax rate was 26.9% and 26.1% in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for the items set out in the following table, was 25.6% in 2019 compared with 24.8% in 2018. The 0.8% increase in the adjusted effective rate was primarily due to the fact that a smaller proportion of the Company’s profits are being generated in low 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.

Volumes in EMEA and ASPAC were higher, driven by increased demand for our products and technology. Volumes in the Americas were lower due to the timing of demand for high volume products. Price and product mix in the Americas and EMEA benefited from increased sales of higher margin products, while ASPAC was adversely impacted by higher sales of lower margin products. AvTel volumes were higher than the prior year due to variations in the demand from customers, partly offset by an adverse price and product mix. EMEA and ASPAC were negatively impacted by exchange rate movements year over year, driven by a weakening of the British pound sterling and the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar.
Gross margin
: the year on year increase of 1.2 percentage points benefitted from an improvement in the mix of product sales compared to a weaker prior year comparative.

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.

(in millions) |  | June 30, 2019 |  |  | December 31, 2018 |
Total current assets |  | $ | 650.5 |  |  | $ | 663.9 |
Total current liabilities |  |  | (303.7 | ) |  |  | (296.6 | )
Working capital |  |  | 346.8 |  |  |  | 367.3 |
Less cash and cash equivalents |  |  | (106.1 | ) |  |  | (123.1 | )
Less prepaid income taxes |  |  | (4.3 | ) |  |  | (1.5 | )
Add back current portion of accrued income taxes |  |  | 14.2 |  |  |  | 8.6 |
Add back current portion of long-term debt |  |  | 21.5 |  |  |  | 21.4 |
Add back current portion of finance leases |  |  | 1.3 |  |  |  | 1.8 |
Add back current portion of plant closure provisions |  |  | 5.3 |  |  |  | 5.9 |
Add back current portion of operating lease liabilities |  |  | 11.6 |  |  |  | 0.0 |
Adjusted working capital |  | $ | 290.3 |  |  | $ | 280.4 |

In the first six months of 2019 our working capital decreased by $20.5 million, while our adjusted working capital increased by $9.9 million. The difference is primarily due to changes in accrued and prepaid income taxes and cash and cash equivalents, and the exclusion of the current portion of operating lease liabilities from our adjusted working capital.
We had a $0.3 million increase in trade and other accounts receivable driven by higher sales in our Oilfield Services segment. Days’ sales outstanding in our Fuel Specialties segment increased from 52 days to 54 days; increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 65 days to 67 days; and increased from 56 days to 60 days in our Oilfield Services segment.
We had a $0.2 million increase in inventories, with decreases in our Fuel Specialties segment due to improved control of working capital, being offset by increases in our Performance Chemicals and Octane Additives segments, as they built up inventories to cover plant shutdowns and meet expected demand in the next quarter. Days’ sales in inventory in our Fuel Specialties segment increased from 90 days to 102 days; increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 59 days to 68 days; and decreased from 82 days to 75 days in our Oilfield Services segment.
Prepaid expenses increased $0.3 million, from $11.6 million to $11.9 million.
We had a $9.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of supplier payments in the quarter. Creditor days (including GRNI) in our Fuel Specialties segment decreased from 43 days to 42 days; increased in our Performance Chemicals segment from 52 days to 53 days; and increased in our Oilfield Services segment from 49 days to 59 days.

Operating Cash Flows
We generated cash from operating activities of $63.2 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to cash inflows of $0.3 million in the first six months of 2018. Year over year cash from operating activities has benefitted from our effective control of working capital across our business, in particular our Oilfield Services segment has controlled inventory levels while sales have significantly increased year on year. There has also been a favorable cash flow from the timing of income tax payments.
Cash
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $106.1 million and $123.1 million, respectively, of which $62.9 million and $101.4 million, respectively, were held by
non-U.S.
subsidiaries principally in the United Kingdom. The Company is currently in a position to control whether or not to repatriate foreign earnings.
Debt
At June 30, 2019, we had $76.0 million of debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $82.5 million of debt outstanding on our term loan and $2.2 million of obligations under finance leases relating to certain fixed assets within our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segments.
At December 31, 2018, we had $126.0 million of debt outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $82.5 million of debt outstanding on our term loan and $3.3 million of obligations under finance leases relating to certain fixed assets within our Fuel Specialties and Oilfield Services segment.

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 2018 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 not effective as of June 30, 2019, as a result of the material weakness described below.
As disclosed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, on June 27, 2019, we experienced a network security incident that prevented access to certain information technology systems and data within our network. Although we believe the incident has not had a material impact on the results, there potentially could have been, which leads to the conclusion there was a material weakness over our information technology infrastructure. In light of the material weakness, management performed additional procedures to validate the accuracy and completeness of the financial results.
Management will develop a remediation plan to address the material weakness related to its information technology infrastructure. The remediation plan will include, but not be limited to, redesign of procedures and controls over cyber security and the areas breaches may impact. We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe the condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for each of the periods presented herein.
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.
We have implemented a new group consolidation system in the quarter. As a result, new processes and controls have been necessary which provide management with the assurance over the accuracy of the Company’s consolidated results.
Other than this, and the effect of the material weakness noted in the Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures section, 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, 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. 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.

Item 1A | Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors that could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition are described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2018 Form
10-K
and under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of our Form
10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. In management’s view, there have been no material changes in the risk factors facing the Company since that time other than the following updates:
An information technology system failure may adversely affect our business.
We rely on information technology systems to transact our business. Like other global companies, we have, from time to time, experienced threats to our data and systems. Although we have implemented administrative and technical controls and take protective actions to reduce the risk of cyber incidents and breaches of our information technology, and we endeavor to modify such procedures as circumstances warrant, such measures may be insufficient to prevent physical and electronic
break-ins,
cyber-attacks or other security breaches to our computer systems. As we have disclosed, we experienced a network security incident that prevented access to certain information technology systems and data within our network. We are in the process of assessing the impact of that incident on our business and results of operations as well as additional actions we can take to improve our information technology systems and our security and the associated costs. Even after our remediation efforts, our systems, processes, software and network may be vulnerable to internal or external security breaches, computer viruses, malware or other malicious code or cyber-attack, catastrophic events, power interruptions, hardware failures, fire, natural disasters, human error, system failures and disruptions, and other events that could have security consequences. An information technology failure or disruption could prevent us from being able to process transactions with our customers, operate our manufacturing facilities, and properly report those transactions in a timely manner. A significant, protracted information technology system failure may result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Although we have insurance coverage insuring against costs resulting from cyber-attacks, it is possible that there could be disputes with our insurers about the availability of insurance coverage for claims related to such incidents.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls,
our ability to operate our business and to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results and investors’ views of us,
and thereby adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
As disclosed in Part I, Item 4 of this Form
10-Q,
management concluded that a material weakness relating to our information technology infrastructure exists as a result of the network security incident disclosed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies. While we are actively engaged in
39
Table of Contents
developing and implementing remedial measures designed to address the control deficiencies giving rise to the identified material weakness, we have not remedied these matters as of the date of this Form
10-Q
and can provide no assurance that we will be successful in remediating these deficiencies or the material weakness in a timely manner, or at all, or that we will not identify additional deficiencies and material weaknesses in the future. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address these deficiencies or the material weakness, or if additional material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and thereby adversely affect the perception of our business and the market price of our common stock.

Item 2 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There have been no unregistered sales of equity securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, no shares of our common stock were repurchased by the Company under this share repurchase program.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 the company has purchased its common stock in connection with the exercising of stock options by employees. The following table provides information about our repurchases of equity securities in the period.
