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, 2013.

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 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 is generally characterized by volatile and declining demand.

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


	Three Months Ended September 30						Nine Months Ended September 30
(in millions)	2013			2012			2013			2012
Net sales:
Fuel Specialties	$	137.4		$	127.0		$	403.6		$	372.2
Performance Chemicals		47.9			46.8			140.2			138.2
Octane Additives		7.5			9.6			33.4			52.3

	$	192.8		$	183.4		$	577.2		$	562.7

Performance Chemicals		5.6			5.6			17.1			18.8
Octane Additives		2.1			1.5			13.0			21.9
Pension credit/(charge)		(0.7	)		0.0			(2.1	)		0.2
Corporate costs		(9.4	)		(9.1	)		(29.4	)		(25.5	)
Restructuring charge		0.0			(0.1	)		0.0			(0.2	)
Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill		(0.4	)		(0.3	)		(1.0	)		(0.9	)
Profit on disposal		0.0			0.1			0.0			0.1

Total operating income	$	19.5		$	17.3		$	64.0		$	72.6

The pension credit/(charge) relates to the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan which is closed to future service accrual. The charges related to our other much smaller pension arrangements in the U.S. and overseas are included in the segment and income statement captions consistent with the related employees’ costs.

The following table presents a summary of the depreciation and amortization charges incurred by the Company’s reportable segments:


	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
(in millions)	2013		2012		2013		2012

	$	2.4	$	1.1	$	6.6	$	3.1

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of options that are dilutive and outstanding during the period. Per share amounts are computed as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30				Nine Months Ended September 30
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Numerator (in millions):
Net income available to common stockholders	$	14.0	$	15.5	$	49.1	$	55.6


Denominator (in thousands):
Weighted average common shares outstanding		23,621		23,240		23,518		23,148
Dilutive effect of stock options and awards		475		683		567		724

Denominator for diluted earnings per share		24,096		23,923		24,085		23,872


Net income per share, basic:	$	0.59	$	0.67	$	2.09	$	2.40


Net income per share, diluted:	$	0.58	$	0.65	$	2.04	$	2.33

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the average number of anti-dilutive options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were nil and nil, respectively (2012 – 1,380 and 1,380, respectively).

NOTE 4 – GOODWILL

The following table summarizes the goodwill movement year on year:


(in millions)	Nine Months Ended September 30
	2013			2012

At January 1:
Gross cost ⁽¹⁾	$	384.2		$	375.5

At September 30:
Gross cost ⁽¹⁾		401.5			375.4
Accumulated impairment losses		(236.2	)		(234.9	)

Net book amount	$	165.3		$	140.5

⁽¹⁾	Gross cost for 2013 and 2012 is net of $298.5 million of historical accumulated amortization.

Acquisitions

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interests in Chemsil Silicones, Inc. (“Chemsil”) and Chemtec Chemical Co. (“Chemtec”), both of which are based at Chatsworth in Los Angeles, California. Chemsil develops and markets silicone-based formulations to the personal care industry and Chemtec distributes a wide range of personal care ingredients. We acquired these businesses in order to add to both the technology base and the geographical footprint of our Personal Care business within our Performance Chemicals segment. The companies have combined annual sales of approximately $40 million.

The purchase price for Chemsil and Chemtec, net of cash acquired, comprised $51.2 million in cash and $6.2 million of Innospec Inc. common stock transferred to the previous owner on the acquisition date.

Included in the consolidated income statement of the Company since the acquisition date, are the following revenue and earnings for Chemsil and Chemtec combined:


(in millions)	Chemsil & Chemtec
Net sales	$	3.1
Net income	$	0.2

For illustrative purposes only pro forma information of the enlarged group is provided below but is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations would have been had the Chemsil and Chemtec acquisitions been completed as of January 1, 2012. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is not indicative of, nor does it purport to project, the future financial position of operating results of the enlarged group.


(in millions, except per share data)	2013		2012
Net sales	$	604.7	$	604.6
Net income	$	50.2	$	59.0
Earnings per share – basic	$	2.13	$	2.55
– diluted	$	2.08	$	2.47

Included in the 2012 comparative above, in addition to Chemsil and Chemtec, is unaudited pro forma information for Strata Control Services, Inc. (“Strata”), which the Company acquired on December 24, 2012 as if the acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2012. Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial information include amortization in respect of the acquired other intangible assets for the Chemsil, Chemtec and Strata acquisitions, and the acquisition-related costs incurred in respect of all these transactions.

The following tables summarize the calculations of the total purchase price and the estimated allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Chemsil and Chemtec. The purchase price allocation is not yet complete as we are in the process of finalising the valuation of the assets acquired. Final determination of the fair values may result in adjustments to the amounts presented below:


(in millions)	Chemsil & Chemtec
Other intangible assets	$	33.7
Goodwill		17.0
Other net assets		6.7

Purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	57.4

Chemsil and Chemtec, and the associated goodwill, are included within our Performance Chemicals segment for management and reporting purposes (see Note 5 for further information on the other intangible assets).

Adjustments to Strata purchase price allocation

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we finalized our calculations of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Strata, resulting in a $0.4 million reduction in other net assets acquired and a corresponding increase in goodwill.

NOTE 5 – OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table summarizes the other intangible assets movement year on year:

Chemsil and Chemtec

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interests in Chemsil and Chemtec. Subject to finalization of the purchase price allocation and related valuation process we have provisionally allocated $33.7 million of the purchase price to other intangible assets which we are amortizing on a straight-line basis to the income statement over an estimated weighted average expected life of 9 years. These intangible assets principally relate to product rights and an amortization expense of $0.3 million was recognized in administrative expenses since the acquisition date (2012 – $0.0 million).

Strata

On December 24, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interests in Strata. We have allocated $48.0 million of the purchase price to other intangible assets which we are amortizing on a straight-line basis to the income statement over a weighted average expected life of 13.1 years. These intangible assets comprise the following:

•

technology ($18.3 million) being amortized straight-line over 16.5 years. In the first nine months of 2013 amortization expense of $0.8 million was recognized in cost of goods sold (2012 – $0.0 million).

•

customer relationships ($28.2 million) and a non-compete agreement ($1.5 million) being amortized straight-line over 11.5 years and 2.0 years, respectively. In the first nine months of 2013 amortization expenses of $1.8 million and $0.6 million were recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively (2012 – $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively).

Internally developed software and other costs

We are continuing with the implementation of a new, company-wide, information system platform. At September 30, 2013, we had capitalized $19.1 million (2012 – $9.5 million) in relation to this internally developed software. No amortization expense was recognized in the first nine months of 2013 (2012 – $0.0 million).

Others

The remaining intangible assets of $48.2 million relate to those recognized in the acquisition accounting in respect of technology, customer relationships and patents; and sales and marketing agreements to market and sell tetra ethyl lead (“TEL”). These assets are being amortized straight-line over periods of up to 13 years. In the first nine months of 2013 amortization expenses of $2.0 million and $1.1 million were recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively (2012 – $2.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively).

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.

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, 2013	$	0.6		$	12.2		$	12.8
Additions for tax positions of prior periods		0.2			0.1			0.3
Reductions due to lapsed statutes of limitations		(0.1	)		(0.5	)		(0.6	)

Closing balance at September 30, 2013		0.7			11.8			12.5
Current		(0.4	)		(5.0	)		(5.4	)

Non-current	$	0.3		$	6.8		$	7.1

All of the $12.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, and 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 at September 30, 2013, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries were subject to tax audits in the U.S. and the Company’s German and United Kingdom subsidiaries were subject to tax audits in Germany and the United Kingdom, respectively. The Company does not currently anticipate that adjustments, if any, arising out of these tax audits would result in a material change to its financial position as at September 30, 2013.

The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including France (2009 onwards), Germany (2006 onwards), Switzerland (2011 onwards) and the United Kingdom (2010 onwards).

The Company is in a position to control whether or not to repatriate foreign earnings and we intend to permanently reinvest earnings overseas to fund overseas subsidiaries. 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, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $717 million and $665 million, respectively. 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, 2013			December 31, 2012

Revolving credit facility	$	88.0		$	20.0
Promissory note		5.0			10.0

		93.0			30.0
Less current portion		(5.0	)		(5.0	)

	$	88.0		$	25.0

On August 28, 2013, we amended our five-year revolving credit facility (“the facility”). The amendment provides for an increase in the facility available to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company from $100 million to $150 million and retains the term of the facility through to December 2016. In addition, the amendment allows the Company to request an additional amount of up to $50 million to be committed by the lenders. As a result $0.7 million of refinancing costs have been capitalized in the quarter and are being amortized over the expected life of the facility in line with the costs capitalized for the original facility in December 2011.

NOTE 9 – PLANT CLOSURE PROVISIONS

The principal site giving rise to environmental remediation liabilities is the manufacturing site at Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom. There are also environmental remediation liabilities on a much

smaller scale in respect of our other manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe. The liability for estimated closure costs of Innospec’s manufacturing facilities includes costs for decontamination and environmental remediation activities (“remediation”).

Movements in the provisions for the nine months ended September 30 are summarized as follows:


	2013									2012
(in millions)	Severance			Remediation			Total			Total

Total at January 1	$	1.1		$	29.3		$	30.4		$	28.6
Charge for the period		0.0			2.0			2.0			2.1
Utilized in the period		(0.1	)		(1.3	)		(1.4	)		(2.2	)
Exchange effect		0.0			0.1			0.1			0.0

Closing balance at September 30		1.0			30.1			31.1			28.5
Due within one year		0.0			(3.7	)		(3.7	)		(3.6	)

Due after one year	$	1.0		$	26.4		$	27.4		$	24.9

Amounts due within one year refer to provisions where expenditure is expected to arise within one year of the balance sheet date. Severance charges are recognized in the income statement as restructuring costs along with other restructuring costs. 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 above, of $2.0 million, represents the accretion expense recognized in the first nine months of 2013.

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 2013, 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.

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


	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
(in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Assets
Non-derivatives:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	53.9	$	53.9	$	22.4	$	22.4
Short-term investments		6.4		6.4		5.1		5.1
Non-financial assets (Level 3 measurement):
Goodwill – Octane Additives		0.3		0.3		1.3		1.3
Derivatives (Level 1 measurement):
Other non-current assets:
Commodity swaps		0.0		0.0		0.1		0.1
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts		0.3		0.3		0.8		0.8

Liabilities
Non-derivatives:
Long-term debt (including current portion)	$	93.0	$	93.0	$	30.0	$	30.0
Non-financial liabilities (Level 3 measurement):
Stock equivalent units		11.5		11.5		12.6		12.6
Acquisition-related contingent consideration		4.6		4.6		4.3		4.3

Commodity swaps are used to manage the Company’s cash flow exposure to raw material cost volatility. They were designated as cash flow hedges and qualified for hedge accounting as at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, the commodity hedges were determined to be ineffective and consequently a gain of $0.1 million was recognized in earnings. The commodity hedges remained ineffective for the remainder of their term to June 2013, and accordingly all changes in their fair value subsequent to March 31, 2012 were recognized in earnings.

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.

The Company has hedged the cost of certain raw materials with commodity swaps which are summarized as follows:


	September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
(in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Notional quantity – 275 tonnes					$	0.1	$	0.1
Notional quantity – 0 tonnes	$	0.0	$	0.0

We enter into various foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exchange rate exposure from expected future cash flows. The contracts have maturity dates of up to four years 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 2013 is summarized below:

The Company sells a range of Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals and Octane Additives products to major oil refineries 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

Resolution of certain government investigations and other matters

As we have previously disclosed, in the first quarter of 2010, the Company reached a $40.2 million settlement to resolve all matters in respect of investigations by U.S. and United Kingdom government authorities into certain legacy transactions conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries under the United Nations Oil for Food Program, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Cuban Assets Control Regulations and United Kingdom anti-bribery laws. The settlement consists of fines, penalties and disgorgements which are payable over a period of four years commencing 2010. As at September 30, 2013, the expected schedule of payments was as follows:


(in millions)	Government Authorities			Compliance Monitor			Total

Fines, penalties and disgorgements	$	40.2		$	0.0		$	40.2
Fees and associated expenses		0.0			3.9			3.9
Less discounting to fair value		0.0			0.0			0.0

		40.2			3.9			44.1
Amounts paid		(36.5	)		(3.3	)		(39.8	)
Exchange effect		0.1			0.0			0.1

		3.8			0.6			4.4
Due within one year		(3.8	)		(0.6	)		(4.4	)

	$	0.0		$	0.0		$	0.0

For accounting purposes only we are required under GAAP, in accordance with our accounting policy, to discount elements of the fines, penalties and disgorgements to their fair value.

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. The Company believes 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 2010. The stated claim, inclusive of costs and expenses, is 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 believes that the allegations in the JAG claim are without merit and intends to defend vigorously its interests.

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.

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, 2013, such contingent liabilities which are not recognized as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements amounted to $5.0 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, 2013, the Company had authorized common stock of 40,000,000 shares (December 31, 2012 – 40,000,000). Issued shares at September 30, 2013, were 29,554,500 (December 31, 2012 – 29,554,500) and treasury stock amounted to 5,799,296 shares (December 31, 2012 – 6,222,076).

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 five active stock option plans, two of which provide for the grant of stock options to employees, one provides for the grant of stock options to non-employee directors, and another provides for the grant of stock options to key executives on a matching basis provided they use a proportion of their annual bonus to purchase common stock in the Company on the open market or from the Company. The fifth 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, 2013:


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Outstanding at December 31, 2012		1,001,241		$	6.27
Granted – at discount		61,028		$	0.00	$	34.00
– at market value		22,161		$	41.27	$	16.09
Exercised		(353,048	)	$	2.07
Forfeited		(25,418	)	$	6.25

Outstanding at September 30, 2013		705,964		$	8.92

At September 30, 2013, there were 168,706 stock options that were exercisable, of which 88,266 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 total compensation cost for the first nine months of 2013 was $1.9 million (2012 – $2.4 million). The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the first nine months of 2013 was $3.2 million (2012 – $1.3 million).

The total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized at September 30, 2013 was $2.5 million and this cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.06 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, 2013:


	Number of SEUs			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value

Outstanding at December 31, 2012		623,828		$	2.95
Granted – at discount		45,028		$	0.00	$	32.06
– at market value		6,970		$	41.31	$	16.09
Exercised		(276,118	)	$	2.29
Forfeited		(2,361	)	$	10.38

Outstanding at September 30, 2013		397,347		$	3.69

At September 30, 2013, there were 72,104 SEUs that are exercisable, of which 65,762 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 total compensation cost for the first nine months of 2013 was $6.3 million (2012 – $5.2 million). The total intrinsic value of SEUs exercised in the first nine months of 2013 was $2.1 million (2012 – $1.2 million).

The weighted-average remaining vesting period of non-vested SEUs is 0.98 years.

NOTE 14 – RECLASSIFICATIONS OUT OF ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)

NOTE 15 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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. We do not expect a material impact from the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 require the Company to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required by GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures which provide additional information about the

amounts. The guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As this guidance provides only presentation requirements, the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment and permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The implementation of the amended accounting guidance has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to facilitate convergence of GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and improve the comparability of statements of financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, to limit the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required by these amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods 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 2013 the Company incurred fees payable to SGR of $0.9 million (2012 full year – $0.8 million). As at September 30, 2013, the amount due to SGR from the Company was $0.8 million (December 31, 2012 – $0.0 million).

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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. (the “Bachman Group Companies”). The Bachman Group Companies provide chemicals and services to the oil and gas industry and are based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We purchased the Bachman Group Companies for a cash consideration of $45 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 Bachman Group Companies has annual sales of approximately $80 million. At the time of filing our September 30, 2013 Form 10-Q we are unable to provide supplemental pro forma information or include disclosures regarding the acquisition–date fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as we have not completed our valuation analysis. We intend to perform a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for our 2013 Form 10-K, and so determine the intangibles assets and related amortization to be included in the pro forma information.

Item 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

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, goodwill, and other intangible assets (net of amortization) and property, plant and equipment. These policies have been discussed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Americas saw a strong increase in volumes due to higher demand partly offset by an adverse price and product mix as a result of lower sales of high margin products. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating

to Strata, continued to generate favorable variances compared to the same quarter in the prior year. In EMEA slightly higher volumes and favorable price and product mix were due to slightly higher demand and increased sales of higher margin products. EMEA benefited from favorable exchange rate variances driven primarily by a strengthening of the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar. ASPAC saw a decline in volumes in the quarter primarily due to reduced demand in the region. Avtel volumes declined due to the timing of shipments to customers as opposed to any change in the long-term outlook for that market with the price and product mix benefiting from a favorable customer mix.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 2.0 percentage points reflected a richer price and product mix in EMEA; the continued benefit from higher margin sales in the Strata business; together with favorable customer mix in our higher margin Avtel business; partly offset by an adverse price and product mix in the Americas.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 18%, or $3.1 million, was due to $1.5 million of additional costs for the Strata business; $1.0 million higher personnel-related compensation costs, partly due to higher accruals for share based compensation expense, driven by the quarterly rise in our stock price compared to the same quarter in the prior year; $1.0 million of additional research, development and new product testing costs; offset by a $0.4 million reduction in other expenses.

Volumes decreased in the Americas primarily due to lower demand in Fragrance Ingredients together with the continued decline in sales of an industrial product. Price and product mix in the Americas benefited from a retrospective price adjustment with a customer. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Chemsil and Chemtec, generated favorable variances compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Volumes decreased marginally in EMEA due to lower demand for Polymers and the continued decline in sales of an industrial product. Price and product mix in EMEA benefited from a retrospective price adjustment with a customer. EMEA also benefited from favorable exchange rate variances, driven primarily by a strengthening of the European Union euro against the U.S. dollar. ASPAC volumes were higher although price and product mix was adversely impacted by higher sales of lower margin products.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 1.0 percentage points reflected a retrospective price adjustment with a customer in the Americas and EMEA; together with higher margins in our Chemsil business; offset by competitive pricing pressures in ASPAC.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 15%, or $0.7 million, was primarily in respect of our recently acquired Chemsil and Chemtec businesses.

Octane Additives

Net sales: decreased by 22% with decreased volumes (down 27 percentage points), due to the timing of shipments and declining demand from major customers, partly offset by an improved customer mix (up 3 percentage points), together with improved revenue from our environmental remediation business (up 2 percentage points). In both 2013 and 2012, sales were focused in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Gross margin: increased by 12.8 percentage points from 36.5% to 49.3%, primarily due to non-recurring freight storage costs in the prior year and favorable manufacturing variances.

Operating expenses: decreased by $0.4 million from $2.0 million to $1.6 million, due to the efficient management of the cost base.

Other Income Statement Captions

Pension credit/(charge): is non-cash, and was a $0.7 million net charge in 2013 compared to $0.0 million in 2012. The net charge in 2013 primarily relates to increased actuarial net losses being amortized to the income statement.

Corporate costs: the year on year increase of 3%, or $0.3 million, reflected $2.1 million higher legal, professional and other expenses, including $1.0 million higher acquisition-related costs; $0.4 million higher personnel-related compensation costs, primarily due to higher accruals for share based compensation expense, driven by the quarterly rise in our stock price compared to the same quarter in the prior year; offset by a $2.2 million reduction in the charge for the long-term incentive plan which completed at the end of 2012.

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill: was $0.4 million in 2013 and $0.3 million in 2012.

Other net income/(expense): other net expense of $0.8 million primarily related to gains of $0.8 million on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses, offset by net foreign exchange losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $1.7 million. In 2012, other net expense of $0.1 million primarily related to losses on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses.

Interest expense, net: was $0.4 million in 2013 and $0.2 million in 2012.

Income taxes: the GAAP effective tax rate was 23.5% and 8.8% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for non-recurring items relating to the adjustment of income tax provisions, increased by 13.0 percentage points. The movement in the adjusted effective tax rate is primarily due to the third quarter of 2013 benefiting to a lesser extent from the positive impact of taxable profits in different geographical locations as compared to the third quarter of 2012, together with the impact of a 3% prospective reduction in the United Kingdom’s corporation tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 on the measurement of existing deferred tax balances. 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.

Americas saw an increase in volumes year to date as a result of higher demand, offset by an adverse price and product mix as a result of lower sales of high margin products. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Strata, continued to generate favorable variances compared to the same period in the prior year. EMEA volumes remained on par with the prior year, while benefiting from an improved price and product mix. Volumes were marginally higher in ASPAC with a favorable price and product mix

which benefited from improved pricing. Avtel volumes increased due to the timing of shipments to customers as opposed to any change in the long-term outlook for that market with the price and product mix benefiting from a favorable customer mix.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 2.6 percentage points reflected a richer price and product mix in EMEA and ASPAC; the continued benefit from higher margin sales in the Strata business; a favorable customer mix in our higher margin Avtel business; offset by adverse price and product mix in the Americas.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 23%, or $11.7 million, was due to $4.9 million of additional costs for the Strata business; $2.2 million of increased personnel-related compensation costs, partly due to the higher accruals for share based compensation expense driven by the rise in our stock price compared to the same period in the prior year; $3.3 million of additional research, development and new product testing costs; $1.1 million of additional commissions; and a $0.2 million increase in other expenses.

Volumes were lower in the Americas as a result of lower volumes in Fragrance Ingredients, offset by an improved price and product mix resulting from a retrospective price adjustment with a customer. Acquisitions in the Americas, relating to Chemsil and Chemtec, generated favorable variances compared to the same period in the prior year. Volumes in EMEA remained marginally lower than the prior year primarily due to lower volumes of an industrial product, combined with a marginally weaker price and product mix in our Polymer and Fragrance markets. ASPAC volumes moved higher but remain adversely impacted by higher sales of lower margin products.

Gross margin: the year on year decrease of 0.8 percentage points reflected the competitive pricing pressures for Fragrance Ingredients and weaker price and product mix in Polymers, partly offset by a richer price and product mix in our Personal Care market; together with a retrospective price adjustment with a customer in the Americas and EMEA; and higher margins in our Chemsil business.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 7%, or $1.0 million, reflected $0.7 million of additional costs for our recently acquired Chemsil and Chemtec businesses, together with $0.3 million higher personnel-related compensation costs driven by the rise in our stock price compared to the same period in the prior year.

Octane Additives

Net sales: decreased by 36% with decreased volumes (down 37 percentage points), due to the timing of shipments and declining demand from major customers, and an improved customer mix (up 3 percentage points), together with reduced revenue from our environmental remediation business (down 2 percentage points). In both 2013 and 2012, sales were focused in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Gross margin: decreased by 0.1 percentage points from 52.8% to 52.7%, primarily due to favorable customer mix and non-recurring freight storage costs in the prior year; offset by adverse manufacturing variances.

Operating expenses: decreased by $1.1 million from $5.7 million to $4.6 million, due to the efficient management of the cost base.

Other Income Statement Captions

Pension credit/(charge): is non-cash, and was a $2.1 million net charge in 2013 compared to a $0.2 million credit in 2012. The net charge in 2013 primarily relates to increased actuarial net losses being amortized to the income statement.

Corporate costs: the year on year increase of 15%, or $3.9 million, reflected $7.2 million higher legal, professional and other expenses, including $1.2 million higher acquisition-related costs; $1.3 million higher personnel-related compensation costs, primarily due to higher accruals for share based compensation expense, driven by the rise in our stock price compared to the same period in the prior year; $0.5 million higher information technology service platform costs; offset by a $5.2 million reduction in the charge for the long-term incentive plan which completed at the end of 2012.

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill: was $1.0 million in 2013 and $0.9 million in 2012.

Other net income/(expense): other net expense of $0.8 million primarily related to losses of $1.8 million on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses, together with net foreign exchange losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts of $0.7 million; partly offset by realized gains of $1.8 million on accounts receivable and payable. In 2012, other net expense of $3.3 million primarily related to losses on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses.

Interest expense, net: was $1.1 million in 2013 and $0.8 million in 2012.

Income taxes: the GAAP effective tax rate was 20.9% and 18.8% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate, once adjusted for non-recurring items relating to the adjustment of income tax provisions, increased by 2.4 percentage points. The movement in the adjusted effective tax rate is primarily due to the third quarter of 2013 benefiting to a lesser extent from the positive impact of taxable profits in different geographical locations, together with the impact of a 3% prospective reduction in the United Kingdom’s corporation tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 on the measurement of existing deferred tax balances. 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, 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.

Adjusted working capital	$	147.4		$	128.7

In the first nine months of 2013 our adjusted working capital (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) increased by $18.7 million. In total our Chemsil and Chemtec acquisitions accounted for $5.7 million of the increase at September 30, 2013, within our Performance Chemicals segment.

The $2.7 million decrease in trade and other accounts receivable reflects decreases in our Fuel Specialties and Octane Additives segments whose third quarter sales were $17.6 million and $9.8 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2012; partly offset by increases in our Performance Chemicals segment whose third quarter sales were $6.5 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2012 . Days’

sales outstanding remained unchanged at 44 days in our Fuel Specialties segment, whilst they increased from 43 days to 50 days in our Performance Chemicals segment. Trade receivables in our Octane Additives segment are primarily driven by the timing of shipments to major customers, and the associated sales terms of those shipments, of which there was a significant shipment at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to a smaller shipment at the end of the third quarter of 2013.

The $29.0 million increase in inventories is spread across all our segments following decisions to build certain product inventories of strategic importance in preparation for our anticipated increase in sales for the fourth quarter. Days’ sales in inventory increased from 69 days to 94 days in our Fuel Specialties segment, whilst declining in our Performance Chemicals segment over the same period from 101 days to 89 days as the relatively high year end levels of inventory were sold through. Inventory in our Octane Additives segment increased $6.0 million due to the timing of significant purchases of raw materials just prior to the quarter end.

Prepaid expenses increased $2.5 million from $4.1 million to $6.6 million, as insurance invoices were received in the quarter for the next annual period of cover.

The $10.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was due to increases across all our segments primarily reflecting the timing of payments to external suppliers, in particular a large purchase of raw materials in our Octane Additives segment. Creditor days in our Fuel Specialties segment reduced from 29 days to 25 days primarily due to the timing of invoicing from suppliers. Creditor days reduced significantly in our Performance Chemicals segment from 41 days to 30 days, reflecting a return to more normal levels after spiking at the year end in line with increased production and associated inventories in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Operating Cash Flows

We generated cash from operating activities of $31.8 million and $59.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities from 2012 to 2013 of $27.2 million reflected an overall increase in our working capital requirements, together with lower net income of $6.5 million and a significant movement in accrued income taxes. In the first nine months of 2013 our working capital requirements increased by $15.6 million, compared to a $6.0 million decrease in the first nine months of 2012.

Cash

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $53.9 million and $22.4 million, respectively, of which $49.0 million and $17.5 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 and intends to reinvest earnings to fund overseas subsidiaries. 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had short-term investments of $6.4 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Debt

At September 30, 2013, the Company had debt outstanding of $88.0 million under its credit facility and a $5.0 million promissory note. The credit facility provides for borrowings by us of up to $150 million until it expires on December 14, 2016 and may be drawn down in full in the U.S.. In addition, the Company can request an additional amount of up to $50 million to be committed by the lenders.

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.

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 2012 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

As of the end of the period covered by this report the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of 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, as amended).

Based upon this evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.

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. As previously disclosed, we are continuing with the implementation of a new, company-wide, information system platform which began in 2011. The platform provider is well established in the market. The implementation is a phased, risk-managed, site deployment following a multistage user acceptance program with the existing platform providing a fallback position. We have implemented the new platform at the majority of our U.S. sites in the third quarter of 2013. In connection with this implementation, the Company has updated its internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to its business processes and accounting procedures. As a consequence, none of the changes have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
