Corporation NewMarket Reveals Q2 and First Half 2025 Financial Results

NewMarket Corporation Reports Q2 and H1 2025 Financial Results

NewMarket Corporation, a leading provider of petroleum additives and specialty materials, has released its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2025.

In the Petroleum Additives segment, the operating profit decreased from $147.8 million in Q2 2024 to $139.8 million in Q2 2025. This decline was primarily due to a 2.5% decrease in shipments and increased technology investments. For the first half of 2025, the exact figures are not explicitly stated, but the Q2 decrease and related data suggest a similar trend.

On the other hand, the Specialty Materials segment experienced growth in operating profit during the same periods. This growth was notably supported by the acquisition of AMPAC, a manufacturer of specialty materials primarily used in solid rocket motors for the aerospace and defense industries. The Specialty Materials segment grew its operating profits following a 10.6% sales increase post-acquisition, boosting operating profit despite overall revenue pressures.

The Specialty Materials operating profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $10.5 million, and for the first half of 2025, it was $33.7 million. Specialty materials sales for the second quarter of 2025 were $42.0 million, and for the first half of 2025, they were $95.8 million.

NewMarket Corporation's Petroleum Additives segment sales for the first half of 2025 were $1.3 billion, and for the second quarter, they were $653.9 million. The net income for the first half of 2025 was $237.2 million, or $25.11 per share, and for the second quarter, it was $111.2 million, or $11.84 per share.

The financial information provided in the press release includes segment results and consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, and cash flow data for the second quarter and first half of 2025. The press release also contains forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially from expectations due to various factors.

NewMarket Corporation operates through its subsidiaries, Afton Chemical Corporation, Ethyl Corporation, and American Pacific Corporation. The company has a long-term commitment to its people, safety, providing innovative solutions, and making the world a better place.
