Description of Innospec Inc
Innospec develops, manufactures, blends, markets and supplies specialty chemicals for use as fuel additives, and ingredients for personal care, home care, agrochemical, mining and other applications and oilfield chemicals. Our products are sold primarily to oil and gas exploration and production companies, oil refiners, fuel users, formulators of personal care, home care, agrochemical and mining formulations, and other chemical and industrial companies throughout the world. Our fuel additives help improve fuel efficiency, boost engine performance and reduce harmful emissions. Our Oilfield Services business supplies drilling, completion and production chemicals which make exploration and production more cost-efficient and more environmentally-friendly. Our other specialty chemicals provide effective technology-based solutions for our customers’ processes or products focused in the Personal Care, Agrochemical and Mining markets. Our Octane Additives business manufactures a fuel additive for use in automotive gasoline and provides services in respect of environmental remediation.
In the second quarter of 2016, we finalized changes to our reporting segments
to reflect the development of our management structure and strategy. As a result
of these changes, information that the Company’s chief operating decision
makers regularly review for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing
financial performance has changed. Therefore, the Company has reported its financial
performance based on the four reportable segments described below.
Fuel Specialties, including the Polymers business previously reported in Performance
Chemicals and excluding the Oilfield Services business
Performance Chemicals, excluding the Polymers business
Oilfield Services, which was previously reported within Fuel Specialties
Octane Additives (no change)
We have recast certain prior period amounts to conform to the way we internally
manage and monitor segment performance.
Our strategy is to develop new and improved products and technologies to continue to strengthen and increase our market positions within our Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals and Oilfield Services segments. We also actively continue to assess potential strategic acquisitions, partnerships and other opportunities that would enhance and expand our customer offering. We focus on opportunities that would extend our technology base, geographical coverage or product portfolio. We believe that focusing on the Fuel Specialties, Performance Chemicals and Oilfield Services segments, in which the Company has existing experience, expertise and knowledge, provides opportunities for positive returns on investment with reduced operating risk. We also continue to develop our geographical footprint, consistent with the development of global markets.
Our Fuel Specialties segment develops, manufactures, blends, markets and supplies a range of specialty chemical products used as additives to a wide range of fuels. These fuel additive products help improve fuel efficiency, boost engine performance and reduce harmful emissions; and are used in the efficient operation of automotive, marine and aviation engines, power station generators, and heating oil.
The segment has grown organically through our development of new products to address what we believe are the key drivers in demand for fuel additives. In fuels, these drivers include increased focus on fuel economy, changing engine technology and legislative developments. We have also devoted substantial resources towards the development of new and improved products that may be used to improve fuel efficiency.
Our customers in this segment include national oil companies, multinational oil companies, oil and gas exploration and production companies and fuel retailers.
Performance Chemicals
Company acquired the Huntsman European Differentiated Surfactants business (“Huntsman”) from Huntsman Investments (Netherlands) B.V.. We acquired the business in order to continue our strategy of building our presence in the Personal Care and Home Care markets which forms part of our Performance Chemicals segment.
Our Performance Chemicals segment provides effective technology-based solutions for our customers’ processes or products focused in the Personal Care, Home Care, Agrochemical and Mining markets.
This segment has also grown organically through the development and marketing of innovative products to the personal care industry. The focus for our Performance Chemicals segment is to develop high performance products from its technology base in a number of targeted markets.
Our customers in this segment include large multinational companies, manufacturers of personal care and household products and specialty chemical manufacturers operating in agrochemical, mining and other industrial applications.
Oilfield Services
Our Oilfield Services segment develops and markets products to prevent loss of mud in drilling operations, chemical solutions for fracturing and stimulation operations and products for oil and gas production which aid flow assurance and asset integrity.
This segment has been through a period of high growth driven by the rising levels of drilling and production activity when oil prices maintained historically high levels, followed by a scaling back of customer activity when oil prices declined to significantly lower levels.
Our customers in this segment include multinational public and independent companies operating principally in North America.
Octane Additives
Our Octane Additives segment, which we believe is the world’s only producer of tetra ethyl lead (“TEL”), comprises sales of TEL for use in automotive gasoline and provides services in respect of environmental remediation. We are continuing to responsibly manage the decline in the demand for TEL for use in automotive gasoline in line with the transition plans to unleaded gasoline for our one remaining refinery customer. Cost improvement measures continue to be taken to respond to declining market demand.
Sales of TEL for use in automotive gasoline are principally made to state-owned refineries located in Northern Africa. Our environmental remediation business manages the cleanup of redundant TEL plants as refineries complete the transition to unleaded gasoline.
