Financial Statements of NGVT

5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$1.2B	-17.0%	+21.7%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$-167.1M	+61.2%	-41.0%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+39.5%	+22.3%	-1.9%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	+22.4%	+21.4%	-28.5%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	-14.3%	+53.2%	-51.5%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$273.5M	+436.3%	-95.9%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	+23.4%	+546.0%	-60.9%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	4184.2%	+461.5%	-17.6%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.33x	-28.7%	+13.3%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$1.7B	-18.4%	-6.8%

Q2 2026

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to the Ingevity Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call and Webcast. After today’s prepared remarks, we will host a Q&A session. If you would like to ask a question, please press *1 to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press *1 again. I will now hand the conference over to Mickey Walsh, head of investor relations. Please go ahead. Mickey Walsh: Thank you. Good morning, and welcome again to Ingevity’s second quarter 2026 earnings call. Last evening, we posted a presentation on our investor site that you can use to follow today’s discussion. It can be found on our website, ir.ingevity.com, under Events and Presentations. Throughout this call, we may refer to non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to supplement, not substitute, comparable GAAP measures. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures are included in our earnings release. We may make forward-looking statements regarding future events and future financial performance of the company during this call. And we caution you that these statements are just projections, and actual results or events may differ materially from those projections described in our earnings release. The agenda for today’s call is listed on Slide 3. Today, you will hear from David H. Li, our CEO and President, and Phillip J. Platt, our CFO. Our prepared comments will focus on results from the second quarter of 2026 from continuing operations and recent business highlights. Following the prepared remarks, we will open the line for a Q&A session. I will now turn the call over to David. David H. Li: Thank you, Mickey, and good morning, everyone. Please turn to Slide 4. This quarter represents another period of outstanding execution across the company and further demonstrates the progress we are making in building a stronger, higher-quality Ingevity. Our businesses delivered excellent commercial and operational performance. Excluding the Road Markings divestiture, sales increased 5%, with growth across all three segments. More importantly, adjusted EBITDA increased nearly 14%, and adjusted EBITDA margins expanded to 36.6%, demonstrating the earnings power of our portfolio and the discipline with which our teams continue to operate. Performance Materials once again delivered exceptional results, with EBITDA margins approaching 54%. Beyond the quarter, we continue to benefit from a structural shift in consumer buying habits toward hybrid vehicles. Hybrid vehicles require our most advanced carbon solutions and contribute a higher-value product mix. We believe this represents a sustainable market trend that reinforces both the long-term earnings power and competitive positioning of the business. Pavement Technologies continued to build positive momentum, while Advanced Polymer Technologies delivered meaningful year-over-year improvement through pricing actions, product mix, and operational …
