NewMarket reported second-quarter 2024 net income of $111.6 million, or $11.63 per share, up from $99.6 million, or $10.36 per share, a year earlier. Total net sales rose to $710.2 million from $685.1 million, with the increase including its newly acquired AMPAC specialty materials business, while petroleum additives sales fell slightly. The results are a routine quarterly update, and the filing does not include new guidance.

Key points

  • Petroleum additives operating profit was $147.8 million, up from $132.1 million, mainly due to lower raw material and operating costs and higher shipments, partly offset by lower selling prices.
