NEWMARKET CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Financial Statement Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of NewMarket Corporation and its subsidiaries contain all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2009, as well as our consolidated results of operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 and our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the NewMarket Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (2008 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009. The December 31, 2008 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “NewMarket” are to NewMarket Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Certain amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. There was no effect on net income.

At both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had a book overdraft for some of our disbursement cash accounts. A book overdraft represents transactions that have not cleared the bank accounts at the end of the reporting period. There are no agreements with the same banks to offset the presented balance. We transfer cash on an as-needed basis to fund these items as they clear the bank in subsequent periods.

Cash dividends totaling 45 cents per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 40 cents per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were declared and paid as shown in the table below.


Year	Date Declared	Date Paid	Per Share Amount
2009	February 19, 2009	April 1, 2009	20 cents
	April 23, 2009	July 1, 2009	25 cents
2008	February 28, 2008	April 1, 2008	20 cents
	April 24, 2008	July 1, 2008	20 cents

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had noncash investing activity of $7.7 million related to capital expenditures incurred, but not paid, for the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, LLC (Foundry Park I), as well as other capital projects of Afton Chemical Corporation (Afton).

We made cash contributions of approximately $4.8 million for our foreign pension plans and approximately $70 thousand for a foreign postretirement benefit plan during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

5.	Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as shown in the table below. Options are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the option exercise price exceeds the average market price of the underlying common share, as the impact on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive. We had no anti-dilutive options that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share for any period presented.

We amortize the cost of the customer base intangible by an accelerated method and the cost of the remaining intangible assets by the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives. We generally amortize contracts over 1.5 to 10 years and formulas, as well as the customer base, over 20 years.

7.	Long-term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:


	June 30 2009			December 31 2008
	*(in thousands)*
Senior notes - 7.125% due 2016	$	150,000		$	150,000

	$	218,200		$	236,378

On January 5, 2009, we entered into a Supplement Agreement to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the commitment level of the revolving credit facility by $5 million. Subsequently, on March 24, 2009, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (Second Amendment). The Second Amendment increased the commitment level by an additional $5 million, increased the letter of credit commitment level from $50 million to $75 million, increased the interest rate paid for borrowings, and amended certain defined terms and covenant calculations. On March 24, 2009, we entered into a Supplement Agreement to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the commitment level of the revolving credit facility by $2.25 million. On April 20, 2009, we entered into an agreement to add an additional lender under our revolving credit facility and increase the commitment level by $10 million. Subsequently, on June 30, 2009, that lender increased its commitment level by another $10 million.

All of these transactions resulted in a commitment level of $139.25 million at June 30, 2009. We paid financing costs of $400 thousand related to these transactions, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the revolving credit facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $4.3 million at June 30, 2009, resulting in the unused portion of the revolving credit facility amounting to $135.0 million.

8.	Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

Except as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in our contractual commitments and contingencies from those reported in our 2008 Annual Report in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to our business and include administrative or judicial actions seeking remediation under environmental laws, such as Superfund. Some of these legal proceedings relate to environmental matters and involve governmental authorities. For further information, see “Environmental” below.

While it is not possible to predict or determine with certainty the outcome of any legal proceeding, we believe the outcome of any of these proceedings, or all of them combined, will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental

During 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named us as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under Superfund law for the clean-up of soil and groundwater contamination at the Sauget Area 2 Site in Sauget, Illinois. Without admitting any fact, responsibility, fault, or liability in connection with this site, we are participating with other PRPs in site investigations and feasibility studies.

The Sauget Area 2 Site PRPs are currently working with the EPA to submit an acceptable Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to the EPA, which we expect to occur in late 2009. We have accrued our estimated proportional share of the expenses for the RI/FS, as well as our best estimate of our proportional share of the remediation liability proposed in our ongoing discussions and submissions with the agencies involved. The amount currently accrued for this site is not material.

At a former TEL plant site located in Louisiana, we have completed significant environmental remediation, although we will be monitoring and treating the site for an extended period. The accrual for this site was $7.9 million at June 30, 2009 and $8.8 million at December 31, 2008. We based these amounts on the best estimate of future costs discounted at approximately 3% in 2009 and 2% in 2008. An inflation factor is included in the estimate. The undiscounted liability was $10.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $9.6 million at December 31, 2008. The expected payments over the next five years amount to approximately $800 thousand in 2010 and $600 thousand for each of the years 2011 through 2014. Expected payments thereafter amount to approximately $7 million.

At a plant site in Houston, Texas, we have accruals of $8.1 million at June 30, 2009 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2008 for environmental remediation, dismantling, and decontamination. Included in these amounts are $7.8 million at June 30, 2009 and $5.8 million at December 31, 2008 for remediation. The increase in the accruals between 2008 and 2009 primarily relate to additional costs expected to be incurred for the closure of a landfill on the plant site. The accruals for this site are discounted at approximately 3% at June 30, 2009 and approximately 4% at December 31, 2008 for a portion of the site. The accruals include an inflation factor. The undiscounted accrual for this site was $11.4 million at June 30, 2009 and $7.8 million at December 31, 2008. The expected payments over the next five years are approximately $500 thousand in 2010, $800 thousand in 2011, $2.6 million in 2012, and $200 thousand for each of 2013 and 2014. Expected payments thereafter amount to approximately $6.8 million.

At a superfund site in Louisiana, we have an accrual of $2.9 million at June 30, 2009 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2008 for environmental remediation. The accrual for this site was discounted at approximately 3% and included an inflation factor. The undiscounted accrual for this site was $3.5 million at June 30, 2009 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2008. The expected payments over the next five years amount to approximately $600 thousand in 2010 and $200 thousand each for years 2011 through 2014. Expected payments thereafter amount to approximately $2 million.

The remaining environmental liabilities are not discounted.

We accrue for environmental remediation and monitoring activities for which costs can be reasonably estimated and are probable. These estimates are based on an assessment of the site, available clean-up methods, and prior experience in handling remediation. While we believe we are currently fully accrued for known environmental issues, it is possible that unexpected future costs could have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Our total accruals for environmental remediation were approximately $22.7 million at June 30, 2009 and $20.6 million at December 31, 2008. In addition to the accruals for environmental remediation, we also have accruals for dismantling and decommissioning costs of $500 thousand at June 30, 2009 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2008.

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

We have outstanding guarantees with several financial institutions in the amount of $23.0 million at June 30, 2009. The guarantees are secured by letters of credit, as well as cash collateral. The outstanding letters of credit amounted to $4.3 million at June 30, 2009, all of which were issued under the letter of credit sub-facility of our revolving credit facility. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The letters of credit primarily relate to insurance guarantees. We renew letters of credit as necessary. The remaining amounts represent performance, lease, custom and excise tax guarantees, as well as a cash deposit of $15.9 million related to the Goldman Sachs Bank USA (Goldman Sachs) interest rate swap. The cash deposit is recorded in “Other assets and deferred charges” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Expiration dates range from 2009 to 2012. Some of the guarantees have no expiration date.

We cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential liability under the guarantees. However, we accrue for potential liabilities when a future payment is probable and the range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Interest Rate Lock Agreement

The construction loan for the Foundry Park I project to construct an office building for MeadWestvaco is being financed by a group of banks and matures in August 2010. Prior to commencing construction, we took actions to identify the possible permanent lending source after construction. To that end, Foundry Park I entered into an Application with Principal Commercial Funding II, LLC (Principal) dated February 26, 2007 which outlined the terms and conditions under which Principal would provide permanent, fixed-rate financing in the maximum amount of $116,000,000 amortized over 25 years with all amounts due 13.5 years after the date of the loan. The Application was not a loan commitment due to the lengthy time period of thirty-four months until the completion of the building. In order to obtain a fixed-rate loan, we entered into a rate lock agreement with Principal dated February 26, 2007. Principal simultaneously entered into a hedge with a third party based mainly on the forward rates of ten-year Treasuries. We were not a party to that hedging agreement. Under the rate lock agreement, we agreed to post a deposit with Principal and to increase the amount of that deposit if the exposure to Principal on their hedge increased.

currently investigating alternative financing to replace the Foundry Park I project construction loan when it matures and believe that we can obtain financing on acceptable terms, we cannot predict the financing terms which will be available at that time. See Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the termination of the rate lock agreement and subsequent entry into an interest rate swap with Goldman Sachs related to the Foundry Park I project. All amounts which we had deposited with Principal under the rate lock agreement have effectively been returned to us at the termination of the rate lock agreement as Principal transferred the deposited funds to Goldman Sachs as collateral for the interest rate swap related to the Foundry Park I project.

9.	Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Accounting Policy for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of our risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We primarily manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities.

We manage certain economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding, as well as through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we have entered into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

Our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments as compared to our reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. To manage this exposure, we sometimes enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize currency exposure due to cash flows from foreign operations.

Cash Flow Hedge of Interest Rate Risk

We have entered into an interest rate swap to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on the Foundry Park I construction loan and add stability to capitalized interest expense. Further information on the construction loan is in our 2008 Annual Report in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The interest rate swap related to the Foundry
Park I

construction loan is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the swap is recognized immediately in earnings. We assess the effectiveness of the construction loan interest rate swap quarterly by comparing the changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument with the change in present value of the expected future cash flows of the hedged transaction.

The construction loan interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts based on LIBOR in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The fixed-rate payments are at a rate of 4.975%. The notional amount of the construction loan interest rate swap was approximately $72.5 million at June 30, 2009 and $52.9 million at December 31, 2008 and accretes to approximately $94 million over the term of the swap. The accreting notional amount is necessary to maintain the swap notional at an amount that represents approximately 85% of the projected construction loan principal balance over the loan term. The maturity date of the construction loan interest rate swap is January 1, 2010.

Information on the amounts and location in our financial statements of the fair value, loss in other comprehensive income, and ineffectiveness of the construction loan interest rate swap is shown in the tables below. The unrealized loss, net of tax, related to the fair value of the construction loan interest rate swap and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, amounted to approximately $1.2 million at June 30, 2009 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2008. Also recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was the net amount of swap receipts and payments made since the inception of the construction loan interest rate swap. This amounted to approximately $1.4 million, net of tax, at June 30, 2009 and $400 thousand, net of tax, at December 31, 2008. Any amounts remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the construction loan interest rate swap will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the depreciable life of the office building beginning at the completion of the construction project, which is currently expected to be late 2009. Approximately $43 thousand currently recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months.

Non-designated Hedges

On June 25, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap with Goldman Sachs in the notional amount of $97 million and with a maturity date of January 19, 2022 (Goldman Sachs interest rate swap). NewMarket entered into the Goldman Sachs interest rate swap in connection with the termination of a loan application and related rate lock agreement between Foundry Park I and Principal. See Note 8 for further information on the transaction between Foundry Park I and Principal. When the rate lock agreement was originally executed in 2007, Principal simultaneously entered into an interest rate swap with a third party to hedge Principal’s exposure to fluctuation in the ten-year Treasuries rate. Upon the termination on June 25, 2009 of the rate lock agreement, Goldman Sachs both assumed Principal’s position with the third party and entered into an offsetting interest rate swap with NewMarket. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, NewMarket will make fixed rate payments of 5.3075% and Goldman Sachs will make variable rate payments based on three month LIBOR. We have collateralized this exposure through cash deposits posted with Goldman Sachs amounting to $15.9 million at June 30, 2009. This transaction effectively preserves the impact of the original rate lock agreement for the possible application to a future loan amount of $97 million of a similar structure.

In December 2008, we entered into $17 million of Euro-denominated forward contracts to minimize foreign currency exposure from expected cash flows from foreign operations. The forward contracts obligate us to sell Euros for U.S. Dollars at a fixed exchange rate of 1.403, which was agreed to at the inception of the contracts. These contracts have maturity dates from January 2009 to December 2009. The outstanding Euro-denominated foreign currency forward contracts amounted to $8 million at June 30, 2009 and $17 million at December 31, 2008. Any foreign currency rate change that affects the fair value of any of these forward contract transactions is offset by a corresponding change in the value of the Euro-denominated transactions.

We elected not to use hedge accounting for both the Goldman Sachs interest rate swap and the forward contracts, and therefore immediately recognized any change in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments directly in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have an agreement with one of our derivative counterparties that contains a provision which specifies that if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations. We also have a separate agreement with another one of our derivative counterparties that contains a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $13.2 million. We have minimum collateral posting thresholds with one of our derivative counterparties and have posted cash collateral of $15.9 million as of June 30, 2009. If required, we could have settled our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $13.2 million at June 30, 2009.

We determine the fair value of the derivative instruments shown in the table above by using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is based on interest differentials between the geographical areas and market forward points. In determining the fair value measurements, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the counterparties’ nonperformance risk.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustment associated with the derivatives utilizes Level 3 inputs. These Level 3 inputs include estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by both us and the counterparties to the derivatives. As of June 30, 2009, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of our derivatives and have determined that the credit valuation adjustment is not significant to the overall valuation of the derivatives. Accordingly, we have determined that our derivative valuations should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We record the value of our long-term debt at historical cost. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is shown in the table below and is based primarily on estimated current rates available to us for debt of the same remaining duration and adjusted for nonperformance risk and credit risk.


	June 30, 2009						December 31, 2008
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current maturities	$	(219,009	)	$	(202,982	)	$	(237,162	)	$	(199,315	)

12.	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (FAS 166). FAS 166 clarifies the information that an entity must provide in its financial statements surrounding a transfer of financial assets and the effect of the transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the annual period beginning after November 15, 2009. We currently do not expect FAS 166 to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (FAS 167). FAS 167 clarifies and improves financial reporting by entities involved with variable interest entities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the annual period beginning after November 15, 2009. We currently do not expect FAS 167 to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (FAS 168). In addition in June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, “Topic 205 – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASU 2009-1). Both FAS 168 and ASU 2009-1 recognize the FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TMas the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be utilized by nongovernmental entities. FAS 168 and ASU 2009-1 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

13.	Consolidating Financial Information

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements about future events and expectations within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future results. When we use words in this document, such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will,” and similar expressions, we do so to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding future prospects of growth in the petroleum additives market, other trends in the petroleum additives market, our ability to maintain or increase our market share, and our future capital expenditure levels.

We believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable expectations and assumptions, within the bounds of what we know about our business and operations. However, we offer no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations due to uncertainties and factors that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the demand for our products, increases in product cost and our ability to increase prices, timing of sales orders, gain or loss of significant customers, competition from other manufacturers and resellers, resolution of environmental liabilities, significant changes in new product introduction, the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on reported results of operations, changes in various markets, geopolitical risks in certain of the countries in which we conduct business, our ability to complete the construction of the office building for MeadWestvaco within budget and in a timely manner and obtain replacement financing for the construction loan, changes in credit market conditions, and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC, including the risk factors in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the 2008 Annual Report. Readers are urged to review and consider carefully the disclosures we make in our filings with the SEC.

You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this discussion or elsewhere speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this discussion after the date hereof, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that the events described in any forward-looking statement, made in this discussion or elsewhere, might not occur.

Overview

Operations during the first six months of 2009 generated strong results with operating profit in our petroleum additives segment increasing significantly over the first six months of 2008. Net sales were lower, reflecting the challenging economic environment in which we operate. Our financial position continues to be very good. We paid down $41.9 million of outstanding debt on our revolving credit facility and our cash increased $90.3 million over the December 31, 2008 balance.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales for the second quarter 2009 amounted to $370.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately 13% from the 2008 second quarter level of $425.9 million. Six months 2009 consolidated net sales decreased 12% to $708.0 million as compared to $808.2 million for six months 2008. The table below shows our consolidated segment net sales.

Segment Net Sales

(in millions)


	Second Quarter Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2009		2008		2009		2008
Petroleum additives	$	368.2	$	421.0	$	703.0	$	801.6
All other		2.7		4.9		5.0		6.6

Consolidated net sales	$	370.9	$	425.9	$	708.0	$	808.2

Petroleum Additives Segment

Petroleum additives net sales for the second quarter 2009 of $368.2 million decreased $52.8 million, or approximately 13%, from $421.0 million for the second quarter 2008. The decrease in sales reflects reductions in product shipments of 18% across all major product lines, but predominantly in the lubricant additives product lines. Also, included in the reduction in net sales between the 2009 and 2008 second quarter periods is an unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $14 million. This unfavorable impact from foreign exchange reflects the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the other currencies in which we conduct business. Partially offsetting the unfavorable impacts from lower product shipments and foreign currency were higher selling prices which were implemented during 2008.

Six months 2009 petroleum additive net sales of $703.0 million were approximately 12% lower than six months 2008 results of $801.6 million. Similar to the second quarter results, the decrease between the two six months periods reflects lower product shipments and a significant unfavorable foreign currency impact of $25.1 million, which was partially offset by higher selling prices which were implemented during 2008. Product shipments were approximately 22% lower for six months 2009 than the same 2008 period. The decrease was primarily in the lubricant additives product lines.

The decrease in net sales for both 2009 periods reflects the impact of the worldwide economic slowdown and the destocking by our customers late in 2008 and early 2009. While product shipments were lower in 2009 than in 2008, product shipments increased 16% between the first quarter 2009 and second quarter 2009. As petroleum additive products are vital to the performance of modern machinery, we believe product shipments will continue to recover.

The table below details the approximate components of the decrease between the two second quarter and six months periods.


	Second Quarter			Six Months
	(in millions)			(in millions)
Period ended June 30, 2008	$	421.0		$	801.6
Decrease in shipments and changes in product mix		(65.7	)		(155.7	)
Change in selling prices, customer mix, and foreign currency		12.9			57.1

Period ended June 30, 2009	$	368.2		$	703.0

Segment Operating Profit

NewMarket evaluates the performance of the petroleum additives business based on segment operating profit. NewMarket Services Corporation (NewMarket Services) departments and other expenses are charged to NewMarket and each subsidiary pursuant to service agreements between the companies. Depreciation on segment property, plant, and equipment, as well as amortization of segment intangible assets is included in segment operating profit.

The “All other” category includes the real estate development operating segment, as well as the operations of the TEL business (primarily sales of TEL in North America) and certain contract manufacturing that Ethyl provides to Afton and to third parties. Each of these is currently immaterial.

The table below reports segment operating profit for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008.

Segment Operating Profit

(in millions)


	Second Quarter Ended June 30					Six Months Ended June 30
	2009			2008		2009			2008
Petroleum additives	$	67.6		$	31.6	$	117.7		$	69.4

All other	$	(1.6	)	$	2.0	$	(2.3	)	$	0.5

Petroleum Additives Segment

The petroleum additives operating profit increased $36.0 million when comparing second quarter 2009 to second quarter 2008 and $48.3 million when comparing six months 2009 to six months 2008. The operating profit margin was 18.4% for second quarter 2009 and 7.5% for second quarter 2008. Similarly, the petroleum additives operating profit margin was 16.8% for six months 2009 and 8.6% for six months 2008. The 2008 six months period included a gain of $3.2 million resulting from a legal settlement related to raw materials.

While six months 2009 results are significantly higher across both the lubricant additives and fuels additives product lines, the majority of the increase when comparing second quarter 2009 and second quarter 2008 was in the lubricant additives product lines.

The change in petroleum additives operating profit when comparing both the two second quarter periods and the two six-months periods was the result of several factors. The most significant favorable factors included lower raw material costs and higher selling prices. The key unfavorable factors were lower shipments, which are discussed above in the Net Sales section, and foreign currency impacts. While partially offset by selling price reductions made this year, the overall increase in selling prices for the 2009 second quarter and six months periods are the results of actions taken throughout 2008 to raise selling prices in response to higher raw material costs. Foreign currency resulted in an unfavorable impact of approximately $10 million when comparing operating profit from second quarter 2009 with second quarter 2008 and approximately $13 million when comparing the two six-month periods.

SG&A decreased approximately $2.4 million or 9% for second quarter 2009, while R&D decreased approximately $800 thousand or 4% when compared to the same 2008 period. For six months 2009, SG&A decreased $4.9 million or 10% and R&D decreased $2.3 million or 5% compared to six months 2008. The decreases were substantially the result of a favorable foreign currency impact. We continue to invest in SG&A and R&D to support our customers’ programs and to develop the technology required to remain a leader in this industry.

The following discussion references the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest and Financing Expenses

Interest and financing expenses were $2.9 million for both second quarter 2009 and second quarter 2008. Six months 2009 amounted to $5.8 million, while six months 2008 was $5.9 million.

Average interest rates for the second quarter 2009 were substantially unchanged from second quarter 2008, while average debt during second quarter 2009 was lower as we had no debt drawn on the revolving credit facility during second quarter 2009. Amortization of deferred financing costs was higher due to the cost related to increased commitment levels achieved on the revolving credit facility. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Six months 2009 average interest rates were slightly lower than the same 2008 period. The impact of the slightly lower interest rates for six months 2009 was offset by higher average debt during six months 2009. Similar to the second quarter 2009, amortization of deferred financing costs was higher than six months 2008.

Other (Expense) Income, Net

Other expense, net for both second quarter 2009 and six months 2009 was $11.9 million. The amount in both 2009 periods includes an unrealized loss of $11. 9 million on a derivative instrument representing an interest rate swap recorded at fair value, which we entered into on June

25, 2009. See Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the interest rate swap. Other income, net was $300 thousand for second quarter 2008 and $700 thousand for six months 2008 and primarily represented investment income earned on excess cash.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $15.7 million for the second quarter 2009 and $9.6 million for second quarter 2008. The effective tax rate was 33.9% for second quarter 2009 and 35.3% for second quarter 2008. The increase in income before income tax expense resulted in an increase of $6.8 million in income taxes, while the decrease in the effective tax rate from 2008 to 2009 resulted in a decrease of approximately $700 thousand in income taxes when comparing the second quarter 2009 and 2008 periods.

Six months 2009 income tax expense was $30.0 million with an effective tax rate of 33.6%. Income tax expense for six months 2008 was $19.8 million with an effective tax rate of 34.6%. The increase in income before income tax expense from 2008 to 2009 resulted in an increase of $11.1 million, which was partially offset by the reduction in the effective tax rate, resulting in a decrease in income tax expense of $900 thousand.

The effective tax rate for both second quarter 2009 and six months 2009 includes the benefit of the settlement of certain income tax issues with the IRS.

Our deferred taxes are in a net asset position. Based on our current projections, we believe that we will recover the full benefit of our deferred tax assets and have therefore not recorded a valuation allowance.

Cash Flows, Financial Condition, and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 were $112.0 million, which was an increase of $90.3 million since December 31, 2008 and included a $4.3 million favorable impact from foreign currency translation.

We expect that cash from operations, together with borrowing available under our revolving credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to cover our operating expenses for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows – Operating Activities

Cash flows provided from operating activities for the six months 2009 were $154.7 million and included a decrease of $76.9 million in working capital, including lower inventories, as well as higher accounts payable and income taxes payable. The decrease in inventories reflects the results of our efforts to lower inventories in response to the decreased demand for our products. The increase in accounts payable reflects a normal increase from an unusually low level of accounts payable at December 31, 2008. The increase in income taxes payable reflects the higher earnings levels in 2009.

Including cash, we had working capital of $335.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $310.3 million at December 31, 2008. The current ratio was 2.87 to 1 at June 30, 2009 and 3.28 to 1 at December 31, 2008.

Cash Flows – Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $44.3 million during six months 2009 and included a net return of funds of $10.5 million for a deposit related to the interest rate lock agreement, which is discussed below, as well as funding of $15.9 million for a deposit related to the Goldman Sachs interest rate swap. Further information on the interest rate swap is discussed below and in Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, we funded capital expenditures of $15.1 million through June 30, 2009. We estimate our total capital spending during 2009, excluding the capital expenditures by Foundry Park I, will be approximately $40 million to $45 million. We expect to continue to finance capital spending, excluding the expenditures for the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, through cash on hand and cash provided from operations, together with borrowing available under our revolving credit facility.

Capital expenditures during six months 2009 related to the Foundry Park I project amounted to $23.8 million. We expect capital expenditures in 2009 related to the construction of the office building will be approximately $63 million which will be substantially borrowed under our construction loan.

Cash Flows – Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during six months 2009 amounted to $24.5 million. The use of cash included the funding of dividends of $6.8 million, as well as debt issuance costs of $400 thousand and a payment of $500 thousand on the fourth quarter 2006 acquisition of an intangible asset. Our book overdraft increased $1.4 million.

We had total long-term debt, including the current portion, of $219.0 million at June 30, 2009, representing a decrease of approximately $18.2 million in our total debt since December 31, 2008. The decrease resulted from the payment of $41.9 million under the revolving credit facility and $400 thousand on capital leases, which was partially offset by borrowings on the construction loan of $24.1 million.

In addition to the Foundry Park I construction loan which is discussed below, at June 30, 2009, we had outstanding senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million that bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.125% and are due in 2016.

At June 30, 2009, we also have a $139.25 million revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes that bears interest at variable rates. The revolving credit facility includes a $75 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The facility matures on December 21, 2011. At June 30, 2009, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $4.3 million at June 30, 2009, resulting in the unused portion of the revolver amounting to $135.0 million.

Both the senior notes and the revolving credit facility contain covenants, representations, and events of default that management considers typical of credit agreements of this nature. We were in compliance with these covenants as of both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

As a percentage of total capitalization (total debt and shareholders’ equity), our total debt decreased from 44.9% at the end of 2008 to 37.8% at June 30, 2009. The change in the percentage was primarily the result of the decrease in debt, as well as an increase in shareholders’ equity. The increase in shareholders’ equity reflects our earnings, partially offset by the impact of dividend payments. Normally, we repay any outstanding long-term debt with cash from operations or refinancing activities.

Foundry Park I Construction Loan and Interest Rate Swap

Foundry Park I and NewMarket Corporation entered into a construction loan agreement with a group of banks on August 7, 2007 to borrow up to $116 million to fund the development and construction of an office building. The construction loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 140 basis points. The term of the loan is for a period of 36 months and is unconditionally guaranteed by NewMarket Corporation. No principal reduction payment is due during the construction period. As a condition of the construction loan and concurrently with the closing of the loan, Foundry Park I also obtained interest rate risk protection in the form of an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is discussed in Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Rate Lock Agreement

The construction loan for the Foundry Park I project to construct an office building for MeadWestvaco is being financed by a group of banks and matures in August 2010. Prior to commencing construction, we took actions to identify the possible permanent lending source after construction. To that end, Foundry Park I entered into an Application with Principal dated February 26, 2007 which outlined the terms and conditions under which Principal would provide permanent, fixed-rate financing in the maximum amount of $116,000,000 amortized over 25 years with all amounts due 13.5 years after the date of the loan. The Application was not a loan commitment due to the lengthy time period of thirty-four months until the completion of the building. In order to obtain a fixed-rate loan, we entered into a rate lock agreement with Principal dated February 26, 2007. Principal simultaneously entered into a hedge with a third party based mainly on the forward rates of ten-year Treasuries. We were not a party to that hedging agreement. Under the rate lock agreement, we agreed to post a deposit with Principal and to increase the amount of that deposit if the exposure to Principal on their hedge increased.

Principal and Foundry Park I have determined that the loan terms set forth in the Application could not be syndicated based on current market conditions. As a result, Principal and Foundry Park I have terminated the loan application and related rate lock agreement and have mutually released each other from their respective rights and obligations under those arrangements. While we are currently investigating alternative financing to replace the Foundry Park I project construction loan when it matures and believe that we can obtain financing on acceptable terms, we cannot predict the financing terms which will be available at that time. See Note 9 for additional information on the termination of the rate lock agreement and subsequent entry into an interest rate swap related to the Foundry Park I project. All amounts which we had deposited with Principal under the rate lock agreement have effectively been returned to us at the termination of the rate lock agreement as Principal transferred the deposited funds to Goldman Sachs as collateral for the interest rate swap related to the Foundry Park I project.

Critical Accounting Policies

This report, as well as the 2008 Annual Report, includes a discussion of our accounting principles, as well as methods and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We believe these discussions and financial statements fairly represent the financial position and operating results of our company in all material respects. The purpose of this portion of our discussion is to further emphasize some of the more critical areas where a significant change in facts and circumstances in our operating and financial environment might cause a change in reported financial results.

Intangibles, Net of Amortization and Goodwill

We have certain identifiable intangibles, as well as goodwill, amounting to $49.5 million at June 30, 2009. These intangibles relate to our petroleum additives business and, except for the goodwill, are being amortized over periods with up to approximately twenty years of remaining life. We continue to assess the market related to these intangibles, as well as their specific values, and have concluded the values and amortization periods are appropriate. We also evaluate these intangibles for any potential impairment when significant events or circumstances occur that might impair the value of these assets. These evaluations continue to support the value at which these identifiable intangibles are carried on our financial statements. However, if conditions were to substantially deteriorate in this market, it could possibly cause a reduction in the periods of the amortization charge or result in a noncash write-off of a portion of the intangibles’ carrying value. A reduction in the amortization period would have no effect on cash flows. We do not anticipate such a change in the market conditions.

Environmental and Legal Proceedings

We have made disclosure of our environmental issues in Part I, Item 1 of the 2008 Annual Report, as well as in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2008 Annual Report. We have made additional disclosures in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. We believe our environmental accruals are appropriate for the exposures and regulatory guidelines under which we currently operate. While we currently do not anticipate significant changes to the many factors that could impact our environmental requirements, we continue to keep our accruals consistent with these requirements as they change.

Also, as noted in the discussion of “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 3 of the 2008 Annual Report, while it is not possible to predict or determine with certainty the outcome of any legal proceeding, it is our opinion, based on our current knowledge, that we will not experience materially adverse effects on our results of operations or financial condition as a result of any pending or threatened proceeding.

Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

We use assumptions to record the impact of the pension and postretirement plans in the financial statements. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of compensation increase, and health care cost trend rate. A change in any one of these assumptions could result in different results for the plans. We develop these assumptions after considering available information that we deem relevant. Information is provided on the pension and postretirement plans in Note 18 of the 2008 Annual Report. In addition, further disclosure on the effect of changes in these assumptions is provided in the “Financial Position and Liquidity” section of Part II, Item 7 of the 2008 Annual Report.

Income Taxes

We file consolidated U.S. federal income and both consolidated and individual state income tax returns, as well as individual foreign income tax returns, under which assumptions may be made to determine the deductibility of certain costs. We make estimates related to the impact of tax positions taken on our financial statements when we believe the tax position is more likely than not to be upheld on audit. In addition, we make certain assumptions in the determination of the estimated future recovery of deferred tax assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For a full discussion of the more significant pronouncements which may impact our financial statements, see Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Outlook

The performance of our business for the first six months of this year was outstanding. We have actively managed our business during very challenging economic times and are confident in our strategy to serve our customers by helping them succeed in their marketplace by providing innovative solutions. We feel our financial results are a measure of how we are performing against that strategy.

We believe we returned to more historical levels of demand during the last part of the second quarter. We expect that some of the increase in product demand during the second quarter was a restocking effort, but also believe that underlying demand is increasing. For the first six months of 2009, our product shipments were 22% lower than the first six months of last year. We expect that the difference in product shipments between the second half of 2009 and the second half of 2008 will not be as significant. We are cautious in our outlook for demand, as we are still operating in a very uncertain economic environment. While we are pleased with this return to a more historical level of demand, it does present challenges that we will be managing. Our plants are running at very high rates, raw materials costs are beginning to increase, and we are experiencing some tightness in raw material availability.

Our operating margins have recovered from the low levels of last year. The improvement in operating margins during the first six months of the year will allow us to continue our investment in R&D programs and deliver measurable value to our customers. However, as raw material costs increase, we do not expect that operating margins will be sustainable at current levels.

In late July, we announced that we are expanding our supply chain capabilities by investing in a manufacturing facility in Singapore. This new plant will enable us to better serve our customers in that region with shorter lead-times and improved security of supply. In addition, the facility will allow us to manufacture to the specifications of our customers in the region with our most current technology. This investment in Singapore, along with the recent investments in R&D facilities in the region, will allow us to develop and produce customized solutions within the region to meet the specific demands of the region. While the initial capacity will represent a small increase to our overall global production capacity, the facility will be scalable, allowing us to add capacity as demand in that region grows.

Our project to construct a multi-story office building for MeadWestvaco continues to progress as expected. The project will be completed later this year. We are continuing our efforts to find financing to replace the construction loan, which is due in August 2010.

As we have communicated in the past, we intend to leverage our financial strength to increase shareholder value by growing the business, with acquisitions being an area of primary interest. Our primary focus in the acquisition area remains on the petroleum additives industry. It is our view that this industry will provide the greatest opportunity for a good return on our investment while minimizing risk. We remain focused on this strategy and will evaluate any future opportunities. Nonetheless, we are patient in this pursuit and intend to make the right acquisition for our company when the opportunity arises. Meanwhile, we believe we have many internal

opportunities for growth in the near term, from both geographical and product line extensions. Until an acquisition materializes, we will build cash on our balance sheet and will continue to evaluate all alternative uses for that cash to enhance shareholder value, including stock repurchases and dividends.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Other than our foreign currency risk and the entry into an interest rate swap, there have been no significant changes in our market risk from the information provided in the 2008 Annual Report.

At June 30, 2009, we had $8.4 million in Euro-denominated foreign currency forward contracts outstanding. With other variables held constant, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the June 30, 2009 forward Euro rates would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $800 thousand in the value of the contracts.

On June 25, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap with Goldman Sachs. We record the derivative at fair value, which amounted to $11.9 million at June 30, 2009. Any change in fair value is recognized immediately in earnings. With other variables held constant, a hypothetical 50 basis point adverse parallel shift in the LIBOR yield curve would have resulted in an increase of approximately $5 million in the fair value liability of the interest rate swap.

ITEM 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance of the reliability of the financial records and the protection of assets. Our controls and procedures include written policies and procedures, careful selection and training of qualified personnel, and an internal audit program. We use a third-party firm, separate from our independent registered public accounting firm, to assist with internal audit services.

We work closely with the business groups, operations personnel, and information technology to ensure transactions are recorded properly. Environmental and legal staff are consulted to determine the appropriateness of our environmental and legal liabilities for each reporting period. We regularly review the regulations and rule changes that affect our financial disclosures.

Our disclosure control procedures include signed representation letters from our regional officers, as well as senior management.

We have formed a Financial Disclosure Committee, which is made up of the president of Afton, the general counsel of NewMarket, and the controller of NewMarket. The committee, as well as regional management, makes representations with regard to the financial statements that, to the best of their knowledge, the report does not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit a material fact that is necessary to make the statements not misleading with respect to the periods covered by the report.

The committee and the regional management also represent, to the best of their knowledge, that the financial statements and other financial information included in the report fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company as of and for the periods presented in the report.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – Other Information

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings

ITEM 1A.

Risk Factors

While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Part I, Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our results of operations and our financial condition. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report except as highlighted below.

•

Development, construction, and permanent financing risks associated with Foundry Park I could adversely affect our financial results – we may incur losses, which could be material, for breakage fees under an interest rate lock agreement in connection with our application for permanent financing.

As previously discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, during the second quarter 2009, Principal and Foundry Park I have terminated the interest rate lock agreement. As a result, this risk factor no longer exists.

•

We may incur losses, which could be material, related to the Goldman Sachs interest rate swap if the forward rates for three-month LIBOR decrease significantly.
