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 statement of, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , our consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in shareholders' equity for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 , and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 . 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 year ended December 31, 2018 ( 2018 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019 . The December 31, 2018 condensed 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 indicates, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company,” and “NewMarket” are to NewMarket Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (ASU 2018-02) on January 1, 2019. ASU 2018-02 allows, but does not require, reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects that resulted from the enactment of U.S. tax legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (Tax Reform Act) at the end of 2017. We elected not to reclassify those tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income upon adoption of ASU 2018-02. We typically remove the tax impact in accumulated other comprehensive income when the underlying circumstance which gave rise to the tax impact no longer exists.

2. Net Sales

Our revenues are primarily derived from the manufacture and sale of petroleum additives products. We sell petroleum additives products across the world to customers located in the United States, Europe, Asia Pacific (including China), Latin America, Canada, India, and the Middle East. Our customers primarily consist of global, national, and independent oil companies. Our contracts generally include one performance obligation, which is providing petroleum additives products. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when products are shipped, delivered, or consumed by the customer, depending on the underlying contracts.

In limited cases, we collect funds in advance of shipping product to our customers and recognizing the related revenue. These prepayments from customers are recorded as a contract liability to our customer until we recognize the revenue. Some of our contracts include variable consideration in the form of rebates or business development funds. We regularly review both rebates and business development funds and make adjustments when necessary, recognizing the full amount of any adjustment in the period identified.

5. Earnings Per Share

We had 22,536 shares of nonvested restricted stock at June 30, 2019 and 25,297 shares of nonvested restricted stock at June 30, 2018 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their effect on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.

The nonvested restricted stock is considered a participating security since the restricted stock contains nonforfeitable rights to dividends. As such, we use the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented since this method yields a more dilutive result than the treasury-stock method. The following table illustrates the earnings allocation method utilized in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

7. Intangibles (Net of Amortization) and Goodwill

The net carrying amount of intangibles and goodwill was $134 million at June 30, 2019 and $136 million at December 31, 2018 . The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of each type of intangible asset and goodwill are presented in the table below.

Goodwill	122,949				122,940
	$	148,789	$	14,844	$	148,780	$	12,741

All of the intangibles relate to the petroleum additives segment. The change in the gross carrying amount between December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 is due to foreign currency fluctuation. There is no accumulated goodwill impairment.

Amortization expense was (in thousands):



Second quarter ended June 30, 2019	$	1,052
Six months ended June 30, 2019	2,103
Second quarter ended June 30, 2018	1,568
Six months ended June 30, 2018	4,474

Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2019 , as well as estimated annual amortization expense related to our intangible assets for the next five years, is expected to be (in thousands):

We amortize the contract over 10 years; customer bases over 4 to 20 years; and formulas and technology over 3 to 6 years.

8. Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (ASU 2016-02) using the modified retrospective transition method allowing us to apply the new standard at the adoption date and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Under this transition method, the prior comparative period continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification of existing leases. In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases and also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. Except for the railcar lease class, we made an accounting policy election to adopt the short-term lease exception, which allows us to not recognize on the balance sheet those leases with terms of 12 months or less resulting in short-term lease payments being recognized in the consolidate

d statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also elected a practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components in determining the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all lease classes.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $70 million as of January 1, 2019. As the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were substantially the same at adoption, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

We have both operating and finance leases with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 52 years . Our leases are for land, real estate, railcars, vehicles, pipelines, plant equipment, and office equipment. We determine if an arrangement includes a lease at the inception of the agreement. The right-of-use asset and lease liability is determined at the lease commencement date and is based on the present value of estimated lease payments. Our lease agreements contain both fixed and variable lease payments. In some cases, variable lease payments are based on a rate or an index. Fixed lease payments, as well as variable lease payments which are based on a rate or index, are included in the determination of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not based on a rate or index are expensed when incurred. The present value of estimated lease payments is determined utilizing the rate implicit in the lease agreement, if that rate can be determined. If the implicit rate cannot be determined, the present value of estimated lease payments is determined utilizing our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined at the lease commencement date and is developed utilizing a readily available market interest rate curve adjusted for our credit quality. Some of our leases include an option to renew that can extend the lease term. For those leases which are reasonably certain to be renewed, we included the renewal term in the lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The components of lease expense were as follows:



	Second Quarter Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019		2019
Operating lease cost	$	4,299	$	8,528
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of assets	636		1,269
Interest on lease liabilities	94		192
Short-term lease cost	789		1,964
Variable lease cost	650		1,042
Total lease cost	$	6,468	$	12,995

Variable lease costs also include leases that do not have a right-of-use asset or lease liability, but are capitalized as part of inventory.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to our business and may include administrative or judicial actions. Some of these legal proceedings involve governmental authorities and relate to environmental matters. 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 results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Environmental

We are involved in environmental proceedings and potential proceedings relating to soil and groundwater contamination, disposal of hazardous waste, and other environmental matters at several of our current or former facilities, or at third-party sites where we have been designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP). While we believe we are currently adequately accrued for known environmental issues, it is possible that unexpected future costs could have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our total accruals for environmental remediation, dismantling, and decontamination were approximately $11 million at June 30, 2019 and $12 million at December 31, 2018 . Of the total accrual, the current portion is included in accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our more significant environmental sites include a former plant site in Louisiana (the Louisiana site) and a Houston, Texas plant site (the Texas site). Together, the amounts accrued on a discounted basis related to these sites represented approximately $8 million of the total accrual above at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , using discount rates ranging from 3% to 9% for both periods. The aggregate undiscounted amount for these sites was $10 million at June 30, 2019 and $11 million at December 31, 2018 . Of the total accrued for these two sites, the amount related to remediation of groundwater and soil for the Louisiana site was $4 million at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The amount related to remediation of groundwater and soil for the Texas site was $4 million at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Overview

When comparing the results of the petroleum additives segment for the first six months of 2019 with the first six months of 2018 , net sales decreased 7.6% primarily due to lower product shipments and unfavorable foreign currency, which was partially offset by selling prices. Petroleum additives operating profit was 22.6% higher when comparing the first six months of 2019 with the first six months of 2018 , reflecting the improved selling prices and lower raw material costs, partially offset by the impact from the lower product shipments.

Our operations generate cash that is in excess of the needs of the business. We continue to invest in and manage the business for the long-term with the goal of helping our customers succeed in their marketplaces. Our investments continue to be in organizational talent, technology development and processes, and global infrastructure, consisting of technical centers, production capability, and geographic expansion.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $563.4 million, representing a decrease of $35.5 million, or 5.9%, from the second quarter of 2018. Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2019 were $1.1 billion which was a decrease of $88.2 million, or 7.4%, from the first six months of 2018. The following table shows net sales by segment and product line.

Petroleum Additives Segment

The regions in which we operate include North America (the United States and Canada), Latin America (Mexico, Central America, and South America), Asia Pacific, and the Europe/Middle East/Africa/India (EMEAI) region. While there is some fluctuation, the percentage of net sales generated in the regions remained fairly consistent when comparing the first six months of 2019 with the same period in 2018, as well as with the full year in 2018.

Petroleum additives net sales for the second quarter of 2019 were $560.8 million compared to $596.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of 5.9%. Petroleum additives net sales for the first six months of 2019 were $1.1 billion compared to $1.2 billion for the first six months of 2018, a decrease of 7.6%. The decrease in net sales for the second quarter comparison was predominantly in the EMEAI region with smaller decreases in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions. An increase in the North America region partially offset the decreases in the other regions. For the six months comparison, the decrease was across all regions, with most of the decrease in the EMEAI region, followed by the Latin America region.

The following table details the approximate components of the decrease in petroleum additives net sales between the first six months of 2019 and 2018 .



(in millions)	Second Quarter			Six Months
Period ended June 30, 2018	$	596.2		$	1,183.1
Lubricant additives shipments	(40.9		)	(106.6		)
Fuel additives shipments	(12.1		)	(19.5		)
Selling prices	27.6			55.8
Foreign currency impact, net	(10.0		)	(19.3		)
Period ended June 30, 2019	$	560.8		$	1,093.5

When comparing both the second quarter and the six months periods of 2019 and 2018, petroleum additives shipments accounted for a $53.0 million decrease in net sales for the second quarter comparison and a $126.1 million decrease in net sales for the six months comparison. Improved selling prices, including an unfavorable foreign currency impact, resulted in an increase in net sales of $17.6 million for the second quarter comparison and $36.5 million for the six months comparison, partially offsetting the unfavorable impact from product shipments. The United States Dollar strengthened against the major currencies in which we transact, resulting in an unfavorable impact to net sales for both the second quarter and six months comparative periods. The unfavorable impact was predominantly from the Euro and the Chinese Renminbi.

On a worldwide basis, the volume of product shipments for petroleum additives decreased 8.4% when comparing the two second quarter periods and 10.4% when comparing the six months of 2019 and 2018. Shipments of lubricant additives decreased across all regions except for North America for the second quarter comparative period and decreased across all regions for the six months comparative period. Most of the decrease for both the second quarter and six months comparisons was in the EMEAI region. Fuel additives also decreased for both the second quarter and six months comparative periods. The decrease in fuel additives shipments was across all regions except for Asia Pacific. Shipments have been lower in recent

quarters due to decisions not to renew certain low margin business, as well as softening global demand for petroleum additives products, although we have begun to see evidence that this trend is starting to reverse.

All Other

The “All other” category includes the operations of the antiknock compounds business and certain contracted manufacturing and services.

Segment Operating Profit

NewMarket evaluates the performance of the petroleum additives business based on segment operating profit. NewMarket Services Corporation expenses are charged to NewMarket and each subsidiary pursuant to services 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 following table reports segment operating profit for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 .



	Second Quarter Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2019			2018		2019		2018
Petroleum additives	$	103.0		$	71.5	$	190.9	$	155.7
All other	$	(0.3	)	$	0.4	$	0.1	$	0.3

Petroleum Additives Segment

The petroleum additives segment operating profit increased $31.5 million when comparing the second quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2018 and $35.2 million when comparing the first six months of 2019 to the same period in 2018. Both comparative periods included the impact of the same factors that affected gross profit (see discussion below) including a favorable foreign currency translation impact when comparing the second quarter and first six months of 2019 with the same periods in 2018.

The operating profit margin was 18.4% for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to 12.0% for the second quarter of 2018 and was 17.5% for the first six months of 2019 as compared to 13.2% for the first six months of 2018. For the rolling four quarters ended June 30, 2019 , the operating profit margin for petroleum additives was 15.8%. We have made progress adjusting our selling prices to allow for increases in raw material costs in past periods resulting in a favorable impact from selling prices. While we saw improvement in the operating profit margin for the first six months of 2019, we experienced downward pressure on our margins caused by raw material price increases over the past two years, mainly because of the lag between when we raise our selling prices and when margins begin to improve and stabilize. Operating profit margins will fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to multiple factors, but we believe the fundamentals of our business and industry as a whole are unchanged.

Petroleum additives gross profit increased $26.1 million when comparing the two second quarter periods and $24.9 million when comparing the first six months periods of 2019 and 2018 . Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 69.5% for the second quarter of 2019, down from 75.7% for the second quarter of 2018 and 70.5% for the first six months of 2019, down from 74.8% for the first six months of 2018.

When comparing both the second quarters and first six months of 2019 and 2018, the increase in gross profit resulted from an improvement in selling prices (including the unfavorable impact from foreign currency on net sales) and raw material costs, as well as a favorable impact from conversion costs (including a favorable foreign currency translation impact), which together contributed over 100% of the change in both comparative periods. These favorable factors were partially offset by an unfavorable impact from product shipments, as discussed in the Net Sales section above.

Petroleum additives selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the second quarter of 2019 were $5.8 million, or 15.9% lower as compared to the second quarter of 2018, and $9.6 million, or 13.5% lower for the first six months of 2019 as compared to the same 2018 period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales was 5.5% for the second quarter of 2019, 6.1% for the second quarter of 2018, 5.6% for the first six months of 2019 and 6.0% for the first six months of 2018 . Our SG&A costs are primarily personnel-related and include salaries, benefits, and other costs associated with our workforce. While personnel costs were lower in the 2019 period, there were no significant changes in the drivers of these costs when comparing the periods.

Table of Contents

Our investment in petroleum additives research, development, and testing (R&D) was substantially unchanged when comparing both the second quarter and six months periods of 2019 and 2018. As a percentage of net sales, R&D was 6.6% for the second quarter of 2019, 6.2% for the second quarter of 2018, 6.4% for the first six months of 2019 , and 6.0% for the first six months of 2018 . Our R&D investments reflect our efforts to support the development of solutions that meet our customers' needs, meet new and evolving standards, and support our expansion into new product areas. Our approach to R&D investment, as it is with SG&A, is one of purposeful spending on programs to support our current product base and to ensure that we develop products to support our customers' programs in the future. R&D investments include personnel-related costs, as well as internal and external testing of our products.

The following discussion references certain captions on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest and Financing Expenses

Interest and financing expenses were $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, $15.8 million for the first six months of 2019 and $10.7 million for the first six months of 2018 . For both the second quarter and first six months comparative periods, higher average debt, along with lower capitalized interest, resulted in increased interest expense, which was partially offset by a favorable interest rate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was income of $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, $11.7 million for the first six months of 2019 and $12.9 million for the first six months of 2018 . The amounts for both 2019 and 2018 periods primarily reflect the components of net periodic benefit cost (income), except for service cost. See Note 4 for further information on total periodic benefit cost (income).

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate was 23.3% for the second quarter of 2019 and 24.0% for the second quarter of 2018. Income tax expense increased $6.5 million due to higher income before income tax expense. The lower effective tax rate resulted in a $0.7 million decrease in income tax.

Income tax expense was $41.1 million for the first six months of 2019 and $37.4 million for the first six months of 2018 . The effective tax rate was 23.2% for the first six months of 2019 and 24.8% for the first six months of 2018 . Income tax expense increased $6.6 million due to higher income before income tax expense. The lower effective tax rate resulted in a $2.9 million decrease in income tax. The decrease in the effective tax rate between the first six months of 2018 and the first six months of 2019 is primarily due to certain provisions of the Tax Reform Act.

Cash Flows, Financial Condition, and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 were $73.2 million , which was an increase of $0.2 million since December 31, 2018 .

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries amounted to $71.2 million at June 30, 2019 and $70.9 million at December 31, 2018 . Periodically, we repatriate cash from our foreign subsidiaries to the United States through intercompany dividends. As a result of the United States tax reform act enacted in 2017, we do not anticipate significant tax consequences from future distributions of foreign earnings.

A portion of our foreign cash balances is associated with earnings that we have asserted are indefinitely reinvested. We plan to use these indefinitely reinvested earnings to support growth outside of the United States through funding of operating expenses, research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and other cash needs of our foreign subsidiaries.

We expect that cash from operations, together with borrowing available under our revolving credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to cover our operating needs and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Flows – Operating Activities

Cash flows provided from operating activities for the first six months of 2019 were $150.6 million , which included the use of $27.1 million to fund higher working capital requirements. The $27.1 million excluded a favorable foreign currency impact to the components of working capital on the balance sheet.

The most significant changes in working capital included increases in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and operating lease liabilities, as well as decreases in inventory and accrued expenses. The higher accounts receivable balance was due to higher sales levels in all regions except Latin America when comparing June 2019 with the end of 2018, as well as a favorable

Table of Contents

foreign currency impact and some fluctuations in payment terms. The increase in accounts payable reflected normal timing differences. The increase in operating lease liabilities reflects the adoption of ASC 842, "Leases". See Note 8 for additional information on our leases. The decrease in inventory primarily reflected plant downtime, while the decrease in accrued expenses reflected normal payments for customer and personnel related costs.

Including cash and cash equivalents, as well as the impact of foreign currency on the balance sheet, we had total working capital of $546.0 million at June 30, 2019 and $542.1 million at December 31, 2018 . The current ratio was 2.93 to 1 at June 30, 2019 and 3.00 to 1 at December 31, 2018 .

Cash Flows – Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities totaled $23.2 million during the first six months of 2019 for capital expenditures. We currently expect that our total capital spending during 2019 will be in the $60 million to $70 million range and will include several improvements to our manufacturing and R&D infrastructure around the world. We expect to continue to finance capital spending through cash on hand and cash provided from operations, together with borrowing available under our $850 million revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows – Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities during the first six months of 2019 amounted to $127.7 million . We paid dividends of $39.2 million and repaid $87.3 million on our revolving credit facility.

Our long-term debt was $678.8 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $771.0 million at December 31, 2018 . See Note 9 for additional information on the 4.10% senior notes, 3.78% senior notes, and revolving credit facility, including the unused portion of our revolving credit facility.

The 4.10% senior notes, 3.78% senior notes, and the revolving credit facility contain covenants, representations, and events of default that management considers typical of credit arrangements of this nature. The covenants under the 3.78% senior notes include negative covenants, certain financial covenants, and events of default which are substantially similar to the covenants and events of default in our revolving credit facility.

The more restrictive and significant financial covenants under the revolving credit facility include:


•	A consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the agreement) of no more than 3.50 to 1.00, except during an Increased Leverage Period (as defined in the agreement) at the end of each fiscal quarter; and


•	A consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the agreement) of no less than 3.00 to 1.00, calculated on a rolling four quarter basis, as of the end of each quarter.

At June 30, 2019 , the Leverage Ratio was 1.65 and the Interest Coverage Ratio was 10.99 under the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with all covenants under the 4.10% senior notes, the 3.78% senior notes, and the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

As a percentage of total capitalization (total long-term debt and shareholders’ equity), our total long-term debt percentage decreased from 61.1% at December 31, 2018 to 53.5% at June 30, 2019 . The change in the percentage was primarily the result of the increase in shareholders' equity, along with the decrease in long-term debt. The change in shareholders’ equity reflects our earnings and the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments, offset by dividend payments. Generally, we repay any outstanding long-term debt with cash from operations or refinancing activities.

Other Matters

The United Kingdom’s June 2016 referendum decision to withdraw from the European Union (EU), commonly known as Brexit, has resulted in uncertainty for our European operations regarding the extent to which our operations and financial performance will be affected immediately and in the longer term. Our key manufacturing facilities in the current EU are not in the United Kingdom. Therefore, goods movements will continue to be predominantly within the EU post-Brexit which means that existing key trade agreements will continue to apply. However, because the UK has not finalized a transition plan, there continues to be significant uncertainty related to Brexit and its impact, with a number of regulatory and logistical challenges remaining. We are continuing to monitor and evaluate changes in legislation and trading practices in order to mitigate any potential risks to our operations associated with the changing commercial landscape.

Outlook

Our stated goal is to provide a 10% compounded return per year for our shareholders over any five-year period (defined by earnings per share growth plus dividends), although we may not necessarily achieve a 10% return each year. We continue to have confidence in our customer-focused strategy and approach to the market. We believe the fundamentals of how we run our business - a long-term view, safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven product offerings, and world-class supply chain capability - will continue to be beneficial for all of our stakeholders over the long term.

We expect our petroleum additives segment to deliver another year of solid performance in 2019. We expect that the petroleum additives market will grow in the 1% to 2% range annually for the foreseeable future, and we plan to exceed that growth rate over the long-term.

In the past several years we have made significant investments in our business as the industry fundamentals remain positive. These investments have been and will continue to be in organizational talent, technology development and processes, and global infrastructure, consisting of technical centers, production capability and geographic expansion. We intend to utilize these investments to improve our ability to deliver the solutions that our customers value, expand our global reach, and enhance our operating results. We will continue to invest in our capabilities to provide even better value, service, technology, and customer solutions.

Our business generates significant amounts of cash beyond what is necessary for the expansion and growth of our current offerings. We regularly review our many internal opportunities to utilize excess cash from technological, geographic, production capability, and product line perspectives. We believe our capital spending is creating the capability we need to grow and support our customers worldwide, and our research and development investments are positioning us well to provide added value to our customers. Our primary focus in the acquisition area remains on the petroleum additives industry. It is our view that this industry segment will provide the greatest opportunity for solid returns on our investments while minimizing risk. We remain focused on this strategy and will evaluate any future opportunities. We will continue to evaluate all alternative uses of cash to enhance shareholder value, including stock repurchases and dividends.
