Ingevity Corporation

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Background

Ingevity Corporation ("Ingevity," "the Company," "we," "us" or "our") is a leading global manufacturer of specialty chemicals and high performance activated carbon materials. We provide innovative solutions to meet our customers’ unique and demanding requirements through proprietary formulated products. We report in two business segments, Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals.

Our Performance Chemicals segment consists of our pavement technologies, oilfield technologies and industrial specialties product families. Ingevity’s Performance Chemical products serve as critical inputs used in a variety of high performance applications, including asphalt paving, oil exploration and production, printing inks, adhesives, agrochemicals, and lubricants.

Note 2: Basis of Consolidation and Presentation

In all periods presented within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Ingevity and subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. If Ingevity's ownership is less than 100 percent, the outside stockholders' interests are shown as noncontrolling interest. In all periods presented, the noncontrolling interest reported within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represents the 30 percent ownership interest held by a third party U.S.-based company in our consolidated Purification Cellutions LLC legal entity. Purification Cellutions LLC is the legal entity that owns the technology associated with, and manufactures, our structured honeycomb products within our Performance Materials segment. See Note 18 - Subsequent Event for information on our recent announcement about our agreement to acquire the remaining 30 percent interest in Purification Cellutions, LLC.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have not been audited. However, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been made. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, collectively referred to as the “Annual Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Annual Report").

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the 2017 Annual Report.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

Note 3: New accounting guidance

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-07 "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This ASU provides for a single accounting model for all share-based payments, with the employee based guidance now applying to nonemployee share-based transactions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Although we are still evaluating the impact of this new standard, we do not believe that the adoption will materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI." This ASU provides for the reclassification of the effect of remeasuring

(Unaudited)

deferred tax balances related to items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings resulting from the provisions of the December 22, 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "U.S. Tax Reform"). We early adopted this new ASU in the fourth quarter of 2017, and as a result, we reclassified $0.3 million from AOCI to retained earnings.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" that amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements under hedge accounting. The new standard will make more financial and non-financial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, amends the presentation and disclosure requirements, and simplifies how companies assess effectiveness. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. We early adopted this new ASU during the fourth quarter of 2017. The impact of adoption did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which provided clarity on which changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply the modification accounting provisions required in Topic 718. We have early adopted this new standard during our second quarter of 2017. The impact of adoption did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The amendment in this new standard requires the service cost component to be presented separate from the other components of net benefit cost. Service cost will be presented with other employee compensation costs within operations. The other components of net benefit cost, such as interest cost, amortization of prior service cost, and gains or losses, are required to be separately presented outside of operations, if income or loss from operations is presented. Of the components of net periodic benefit cost, only the service cost component will be eligible for asset capitalization. We have early adopted this new standard during our first quarter of 2017 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which amends and simplifies the accounting standard for goodwill impairment. The new standard removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. This new guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business." The new guidance narrows the existing definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities (collectively, the "set") is not a business. To be considered a business, the set would need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, as defined by the ASU. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and should be applied prospectively. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. We have utilized this new guidance in our accounting for the Georgia Pacific's Pine Chemical Business acquisition; refer to Note 4 for more information. The adoption of this new guidance had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in ASU 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." The new guidance clarifies the classification on the statement of cash flows of certain cash receipts and disbursements such as distributions received from equity method investees, proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, and proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. This new guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

(Unaudited)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)." Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, including identifying and analyzing all contracts that contain a lease. As a lessee, the majority of our leases under existing guidance are classified as operating leases and therefore not recorded on the balance sheet but are recorded in the statement of earnings as expense as incurred. Upon adoption of the new guidance, we may be required to record the vast majority of these operating leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The timing of expense recognition and classification in the statement of earnings could change based on the classification of leases as either operating or financing; however, we have not completed our evaluation to determine to what extent.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes both the revenue recognition requirement to ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new standard (ASC 606) is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity must also disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued several ASUs that provided additional clarity on numerous topics as well as providing technical corrections to the original ASU 2014-09. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. See below for the effect of this adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The majority of our sales revenue remains unchanged by ASC 606 and continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing and warehousing facilities, which represents the point at which control is transferred to the customer. For certain limited contracts, where we are producing goods with no alternative use and for which we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, we are recognizing revenue as goods are manufactured, rather than when they are shipped as previously done under ASC 605. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our condensed consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of ASC 606, were as follows:



In millions	Balance at December 31, 2017		Adjustments			Balance at January 1, 2018

In accordance with ASC 606, the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and balance sheet were as follows:

Note 4: Acquisition

Georgia Pacific's Pine Chemical Business

On August 22, 2017, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Georgia-Pacific Chemicals LLC, Georgia-Pacific LLC (together with Georgia-Pacific Chemicals LLC, "GP") and Ingevity Arkansas, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingevity, to purchase substantially all the assets primarily used in GP's pine chemical business (the "Pine Chemical Business"), including assets and facilities related to tall oil fractionation operations and the production or modification of tall oil fatty acids, tall oil rosins, rosin derivatives and formulated products (the "Acquisition").

working capital. This is subject to further adjustments based on a final assessment of working capital and other items as of the closing date. The Acquisition was primarily funded with the net proceeds from the $300.0 million senior notes issued on January 24, 2018. The Acquisition is being integrated into our Performance Chemicals segment and has been included within our results of operations since the Acquisition Date. In addition, on the Acquisition Date, the Company and GP entered into a 20-year, market-based crude tall oil ("CTO") supply contract with certain of Georgia-Pacific’s paper mill operations.

For the period from March 8, 2018 through June 30, 2018 the Acquisition impacted Net sales by $25.9 million and Income (loss) before income taxes by $(1.0) million including the interest incurred on the debt required to complete the Acquisition of $4.4 million and the amortization of inventory step up of $1.4 million.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The Acquisition has been accounted for under the business combinations accounting guidance, and as such we have applied acquisition accounting. Acquisition accounting requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The aggregate preliminary purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the Acquisition Date using primarily Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. These Level 2 and Level 3 valuation inputs include an estimate of future cash flows and discount rates. Additionally, estimated fair values are based, in part, upon outside appraisals for certain assets, including specifically-identified intangible assets.

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the Acquisition Date) as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations is obtained. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of inventories, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. During the measurement period, if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date, we will revise the preliminary purchase price allocation. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been completed on the Acquisition Date. The impact of all changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments will be included in current period earnings.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the Acquisition and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Acquisition Date, which have been allocated on a preliminary basis.

(1) Fair value of finished good inventories acquired included a step-up in the value of approximately $1.4 million, of which $0.6 million and $1.4 million was expensed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The expense is included in "Cost of sales" on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(2) The aggregate amortization expense was approximately $3.5 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Estimated amortization expense is as follows: 2018 - $10.6 million, 2019 - $12.7 million, 2020 - $12.7 million, 2021 - $12.0 million, and 2022 - $11.8 million.
(3) Goodwill largely consists of expected cost synergies and economies of scale resulting from the business combination. We expect the full amount to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquisition-related costs

Costs incurred to complete and integrate the Acquisition into our Performance Chemicals segment are expensed as incurred and recorded to Acquisition-related costs on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, $0.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively of Acquisition-related costs were recognized. No Acquisition-related costs were incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. These costs represent transaction costs, legal fees and professional third-party service fees.

Note 5: Revenues

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. See Note 3 for more information on the adoption of ASC 606 and its impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Ingevity's operating segments are (i) Performance Materials and (ii) Performance Chemicals.

Our Performance Materials segment consists of our automotive technologies and process purifications product lines. Performance Materials manufactures products in the form of powder, granular, extruded pellets or structured honeycombs and activated carbon sheets. Automotive technologies products are sold into the gasoline vapor emission control markets within the automotive industry while process purifications products are sold into the food, water, beverage, air emissions control, corrosion protection, odor reduction and chemical purification industries.

Our Performance Chemicals segment consists of our pavement technologies, oilfield technologies and industrial specialties product lines. Performance Chemicals manufactures products derived from crude tall oil and lignin extracted from the kraft paper making process. Performance Chemicals products serve as critical inputs used in a variety of high performance applications, including asphalt paving (pavement technologies product line), oil exploration and production (oilfield technologies product line), printing inks, adhesives, agrochemicals, and lubricants (industrial specialties product line).

Net sales in both of our reportable segments are based on the sale of manufactured products. Net sales are recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products. Since net sales are derived from product sales only, we have disaggregated our net sales by our product lines within each reportable segment. Net sales are measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Sales returns and allowances are not a normal practice in the industry and are not significant. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers continue to be included with Net sales. Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives, including discounts and volume rebates, which are accounted for as variable consideration and included in Net sales. Incidental items immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. If we pay for the freight and shipping, we recognize the cost when control of the product has transferred to the customer as an expense in Cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Although very rare, from time to time we incur expenses to obtain a sales contract. In these cases, if these costs are for orders that are fulfilled in one year or less, we expense these costs as they are incurred. Because the period between when we transfer a promised good to a customer and when the customer pays for that good will be one year or less, we elect not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of any significant financing component.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers. The contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for products produced but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with certain customers. The contract assets are recognized as accounts receivables when the rights become unconditional and the customer has been billed. Contract liabilities represent obligations to transfer goods to a customer for which we have received consideration from our customer. For all periods presented we had no contract liabilities.

Note 6: Financial Instruments, Risk Management, and Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Ingevity’s operations are exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices due to transactions denominated in a variety of foreign currencies and purchases of certain commoditized raw materials and inputs. Changes in these rates and prices may have an impact on Ingevity’s future cash flow and earnings. To mitigate these market risks and their effects, we enter into derivative financial instruments which are governed by policies, procedures and internal processes set forth by our Board of Directors.

Our risk management program also addresses counterparty credit risk by selecting only major financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Once the derivative financial instrument is entered into, we continuously monitor the financial institutions’ credit ratings and our credit risk exposure held by the financial institution. When appropriate, we reallocate exposures across multiple financial institutions to limit credit risk. If a counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under the derivative financial instrument, then Ingevity is exposed to credit risk equal to the fair value of the financial instrument. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis by counterparty, to the extent governed by master netting agreements, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Due to our proactive mitigation of these potential credit risk we anticipate performance by our counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

We manufacture and sell our products in several countries throughout the world and, thus, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we net the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. To manage the remaining exposure, from time to time, we utilize foreign currency exchange forward contracts to minimize the volatility to earnings and cash flows resulting from the effect of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on export sales denominated in foreign currencies (principally the euro). These contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges. We began our foreign currency exchange risk hedging program in July 2017. As of June 30, 2018, open foreign currency derivative contracts hedge forecasted transactions until January 2019. These open derivative contracts hedge the notional U.S. dollar equivalent value of approximately $13.1 million. The fair value of the foreign currency hedge was a $0.7 million asset and zero at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk Management

Certain energy sources used by the Company, are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply and demand conditions, economic variables and other unpredictable factors. This volatility is primarily related to the market pricing of natural gas. To mitigate expected fluctuations in market prices and the volatility to earnings and cash flow resulting from changes to pricing of natural gas purchases, from time to time, we will enter into swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts and designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. We began our commodity price risk hedging program in December 2017 and therefore prior to this date we had no derivative financial instruments designated to hedge commodity price risk. As of June 30, 2018, we had 1.6 million and 2.0 million mmBTUS (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2018, open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until November 2019. The fair value of the outstanding designated natural gas commodity hedge contracts as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $0.1 million asset and less than $0.1 million asset, respectively.

Fair-Value Measurements

We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair-value hierarchy. The fair-value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair-value measurement of the instrument.

2018 Senior Notes

On January 24, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50 percent senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “Indenture”), by and among Ingevity, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes were offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting deferred issuance costs of $5.7 million, were approximately $294.3 million.

Interest payments on the Notes are due semiannually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year, beginning on August 1, 2018, at a rate of 4.50 percent per year. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2026.

Financial Covenants

The Indenture contains certain customary covenants (including covenants limiting Ingevity's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to grant or permit liens on certain property securing debt, declare or pay dividends, make distributions on or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, engage in sale and lease-back transactions, and engage in a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of our and our restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and events of default (subject in certain cases to customary exceptions, as well as grace and cure periods). The occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture could result in the acceleration of the Notes and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness of Ingevity and its subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility and term loan facility include financial covenants requiring Ingevity to maintain on a consolidated basis a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 (which may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 under certain circumstances) and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2018.

Share Repurchases

On February 20, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our common stock. The repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of prevailing market conditions and other factors.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 75,800 shares of our common stock at a weighted average cost per share of $79.28. At June 30, 2018, $84.3 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. We record shares of common stock repurchased at cost as treasury stock, resulting in a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the treasury shares are contributed under our employee benefit plans or issued for option exercises, we use a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the market price at the time of contribution to an employee benefit plan is added to or deducted from the related capital in excess of par value of common stock.

We did not make any voluntary cash contributions to our Union Hourly defined benefit pension plan in the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. There are no required cash contributions to our Union Hourly defined benefit pension plan in 2018, and we currently have no plans to make any voluntary cash contributions in 2018.

Note 13: Restructuring and other (income) charges, net

We continually perform strategic reviews and assess the return on our operations which sometimes results in a plan to restructure the business. The cost and benefit of these strategic restructuring initiatives are recorded as restructuring and other (income) charges, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. These costs are excluded from our operating segment results.

We record an accrual for severance and other non-recurring costs under the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance. Additionally, in some restructuring plans write-downs of long-lived assets may occur. Two types of assets are impacted: assets to be disposed of by sale and assets to be abandoned. Assets to be disposed of by sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or estimated net proceeds from the sale. Assets to be abandoned with no remaining future service potential are written down to amounts expected to be recovered. The useful life of assets to be abandoned that have a remaining future service potential are adjusted and depreciation is recorded over the adjusted useful life. Below provides detail of the Restructuring and other (income) charges, net incurred.

2018 activities

In February 2018, we sold assets from the Performance Chemicals derivatives operations in Duque De Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These assets were part of a facility that was closed as a result of a restructuring event in 2016. As a result of this sale, we recorded zero and $0.6 million as a gain on sale of assets in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

2017 activities

In January 2017, we initiated a reorganization to streamline our leadership team, flatten the organization and reduce costs. As a result of this reorganization, we recorded zero and $1.3 million, respectively, in severance and other employee-related costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we also recorded $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of additional miscellaneous exit costs primarily associated with the exit of our Performance Chemicals' manufacturing operations in Palmeira, Santa Catarina, Brazil which began in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Note 14: Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the effective tax rates, including discrete items, were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Effective tax rate	19.2	%	32.5	%	20.1	%	32.4	%

We determine our interim tax provision using an Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate methodology (“EAETR”). The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision.

The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pre-tax ordinary income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. As our projections of ordinary income change throughout the year, the EAETR will change period-to-period. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the period they occur. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter may materially impact the reported effective tax rate. As a global enterprise, our tax expense may be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As such, there may be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

The below table provides a reconciliation between our reported effective tax rates and the EAETR.

_______________


(1)	Charges primarily relate to legal and professional fees and inventory step-up amortization incurred associated with the acquisition of the Pine Chemical Business. The legal and professional fees of $4.3 million and the inventory step-up amortization of $1.4 million are included in "Acquisition-related costs" and "Cost of sales" on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, respectively.


(2)	Legal entities within the consolidated results of Ingevity with full valuation allowances are treated discretely for income tax purposes.


(3)	Decrease in EAETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to June 30, 2017, is primarily due to the effect of U.S. Tax Reform, which was enacted in December 2017.

On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform. In accordance with SAB 118, we determined that the $24.5 million of the provisional deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities and current tax expense recorded in connection with any other provisions of U.S. Tax Reform were reasonable estimates at December 31, 2017. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, no additional adjustments were recorded in relation to the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities and minimal current tax expense was recorded in connection with other provisions of U.S. Tax Reform. Additional work may be necessary as the U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS, or other standard setting bodies interpret or issue new guidance on how the provisions of U.S. Tax Reform should be applied that may be different from our interpretation as of the date of this filing. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the period when the analysis is complete.

Note 15: Commitments and contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We are, from time to time, involved in routine litigation incidental to our operations. None of the litigation in which we are currently involved, individually or in the aggregate, is material to our consolidated financial condition, liquidity or results of operations nor are we aware of any material pending or contemplated proceedings.

Note 17: Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Ingevity stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Ingevity stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted net income per share excludes all anti-dilutive common shares.

Overview

Ingevity is a leading global manufacturer of specialty chemicals and high performance activated carbon materials. We provide innovative solutions to meet our customers’ unique and demanding requirements through proprietary formulated products. We report in two business segments: Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals.

Our Performance Materials segment consists of our automotive technologies and process purifications product families. Automotive technologies produces automotive carbon products used in gasoline vapor emission control systems in cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats. Process purifications produces a number of activated carbon products for food, water, beverage and chemical purification applications. Our Performance Chemicals segment primarily addresses applications in three product families: pavement technologies, oilfield technologies and industrial specialties. Ingevity’s Performance Chemicals products serve as critical inputs used in a variety of high performance applications, including asphalt paving, oil exploration and production, printing inks, adhesives, agrochemicals, and lubricants.

Recent Developments

2018 Senior Notes

On January 24, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50 percent senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 24, 2018 (the “Indenture”), by and among Ingevity, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and in transactions to certain non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting deferred financing fees and expenses of $5.7 million, were approximately $294.3 million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to finance, in part, our purchase of substantially all the assets primarily used in the pine chemical business of Georgia-Pacific Chemicals LLC and Georgia-Pacific LLC.

The Indenture contains certain customary covenants (including covenants limiting Ingevity and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to grant or permit liens on certain property securing debt, declare or pay dividends, make distributions on or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, engage in sale and lease-back transactions, and engage in a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of our and our restricted subsidiaries, taken as a whole) and events of default (subject in certain cases to customary exceptions, as well as grace and cure

periods). The occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture could result in the acceleration of the Notes and could cause a cross-default that could result in the acceleration of other indebtedness of Ingevity and our subsidiaries.

Georgia Pacific's Pine Chemical Business Acquisition

On March 8, 2018 (the "Acquisition Date"), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we completed the Acquisition for an aggregate preliminary purchase price of $315.0 million, which includes an adjustment for working capital. This is subject to further adjustments based on a final assessment of working capital and other items as of the closing date. The Acquisition was primarily funded with the sale of the Notes. The Acquisition is being integrated into our Performance Chemicals segment and has been included within our results of operations since the Acquisition Date. In addition, at the closing of the Acquisition, the Company and GP entered into a 20-year, market-based CTO supply contract with certain of Georgia-Pacific’s paper mill operations.

We believe the Acquisition will provide a stronger platform from which we will accelerate the profitable growth of our Performance Chemicals segment. With the addition of broader technologies and product platforms, we will add scale and competitiveness to this segment, and create value for our shareholders.

Net sales and Gross profit

The table below shows the 2018 net sales and percentage variances from 2017:



			Percentage change vs. prior year
In millions, except percentages	Net sales		Total change	Currency effect	Price/Mix	Volume	Acquisition
Three months ended June 30, 2018	$	308.6	19%	1%	2%	7%	8%
Six months ended June 30, 2018	$	543.8	14%	1%	1%	6%	6%

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Net sales increase of $48.3 million in 2018 was primarily driven by favorable volume gains of $19.2 million (seven percent of sales) and favorable pricing and product mix of $4.7 million (two percent of sales). The acquisition of the Pine Chemical Business (completed in Q1 2018) contributed $21.1 million (eight percent of sales) to the volume gains realized during the quarter. Both of our operating segments contributed to the volume and pricing and product mix impacts during the quarter. Additionally, favorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $3.3 million (one percent of sales).

Gross profit improvement of $25.7 million was driven by favorable sales volume contributing $10.4 million of additional gross profit, pricing and product mix of $4.7 million, reduced manufacturing costs of $2.3 million, and favorable foreign currency exchange impact of $1.7 million. The acquisition of the Pine Chemical Business (completed in Q1 2018) contributed $6.6 million to the increased gross profit period over period. Refer to the Segment Operating Results section included within this MD&A for more information on the drivers to the changes in gross profit period over period for each segment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Net sales increase of $65.0 million in 2018 was primarily driven by favorable volume gains of $25.9 million (six percent of sales) and favorable pricing and product mix of $6.3 million (one percent of sales). The acquisition of the Pine Chemical Business (completed in Q1 2018) contributed $25.9 million (six percent of sales) to the volume gains realized during the quarter. Both of our operating segments contributed to the volume and pricing and product mix impacts during the period. Additionally, favorable foreign currency exchange impacted Net sales by $6.9 million (one percent of sales).

Gross profit improvement of $40.1 million was driven primarily by favorable sales volume contributing $15.4 million of additional gross profit, pricing and product mix of $11.9 million, reduced manufacturing costs of $0.8 million, and favorable foreign currency exchange impact of $3.4 million. The acquisition of the Pine Chemical Business (completed in Q1 2018) contributed $8.6 million to the improvement period over period. Refer to the Segment Operating Results section included within this MD&A for more information on the drivers to the changes in gross profit period over period for each segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") increased $9.6 million in 2018 compared to 2017. SG&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased to 11.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 10.1 percent in 2017. The increase in SG&A is primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs driven by the improvements in gross profit as compared to the prior period, higher legal fees, and amortization associated with the acquisition of the Pine Chemicals Business. Increased gross profit translates into higher Adjusted EBITDA which is our primary metric for incentive-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined under the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section included within this MD&A.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

SG&A increased $9.7 million in 2018 compared to 2017. SG&A expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased to 11.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from 10.9 percent in 2017. The increase in SG&A for the six month period is due to the reasons explained in the three month period above.

Research and technical expenses

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Segment net sales for the Performance Materials segment were $96.1 million and $89.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The sales increase in 2018 was primarily driven by $4.4 million (five percent of sales) in volume improvements in automotive evaporative emission canister products related to increased vehicle content due to regulatory adoption and the shift towards higher content vehicles in the North American automotive market and $0.7 million (zero percent of sales) of favorable foreign currency exchange. These gains were further bolstered by favorable product mix of $1.5 million (two percent of sales).

Segment operating profit for the Performance Materials segment was $36.6 million and $30.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Segment operating profit increased $5.9 million primarily due to favorable volume in the automotive carbon application, which contributed $3.5 million, favorable product mix, which contributed $1.8 million, and improvements in manufacturing costs which favorably impacted operating profit by $1.6 million. SG&A and research and technical costs increased by $2.0 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs driven by the improvements in gross profit as compared to the prior period. Favorable foreign currency exchange impacts also impacted operating profit $1.0 million.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Segment net sales for the Performance Materials segment were $191.6 million and $172.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The sales increase in 2018 was primarily driven by $16.5 million (ten percent of sales) in volume improvements in automotive evaporative emission canister products related to increased vehicle content due to regulatory adoption and the shift towards higher content vehicles in the North American automotive market and $1.8 million (one percent of sales) of favorable foreign currency exchange. These gains were further bolstered by favorable product mix of $0.4 million (zero percent of sales).

Segment operating profit for the Performance Materials segment was $73.5 million and $60.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Segment operating profit increased $13.3 million primarily due to favorable volume in the automotive carbon application, which contributed $10.8 million, favorable product mix, which contributed $3.6 million, and favorable foreign currency exchange which contributed $0.6 million. This increase was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs associated with increased production and increased SG&A and research and technical costs due primarily to increased legal costs impacting profit by $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Segment net sales for the Performance Chemicals segment were $212.5 million and $170.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The sales increase was driven by favorable volume of $14.8 million (nine percent of sales), which consisted of favorable industrial specialties volume ($4.9 million), pavement technologies products ($7.4 million), and oilfield technologies ($2.5 million). Also driving the sales increase was pricing and product mix of $3.2 million (one percent of sales) driven by oilfield technologies ($1.3 million) and pavement technologies ($1.5 million), and pricing and product mix in industrial specialties ($0.4 million). In addition, $2.6 million of favorable foreign currency exchange (two percent of sales) helped drive the sales increase. Also contributing to the sales increase was our Acquisition, which increased sales by $21.1 million (twelve percent of sales), which consists of industrial specialties ($15.5 million), pavement technologies products ($0.1 million), and oilfield technologies ($5.5 million). See Note 4 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Acquisition.

Segment operating profit for the Performance Chemicals segment was $36.9 million and $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Segment operating profit increased by $10.5 million primarily due to increased volumes of $6.8 million, $2.9 million of favorable pricing and product mix, $0.7 million of favorable manufacturing productivity primarily driven by lower raw material pricing, specifically crude tall oil ("CTO"), $0.8 million due to favorable foreign currency exchange. The Acquisition (completed in Q1 2018) contributed $3.8 million to the improvement period over period. These favorable operating results were partially offset by $4.5 million of unfavorable SG&A costs, driven by higher incentive compensation costs and growth-related spending. Higher incentive compensation costs were driven by the improvements in gross profit as compared to the prior period. See Note 4 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Acquisition.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 vs. 2017

Segment net sales for the Performance Chemicals segment were $352.2 million and $305.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The sales increase was driven by favorable volume of $9.4 million (three percent of sales), which consisted of favorable pavement technologies products volume ($8.6 million) and oilfield technologies ($2.6 million), offset by unfavorable volume in industrial specialties ($1.8 million). Also driving the sales increase was pricing and product mix of $5.9 million (two percent of sales) driven by industrial specialties ($0.6 million), pavement technologies ($1.4 million), and

oilfield technologies ($3.9 million). In addition, $5.1 million of favorable foreign currency exchange (two percent of sales) helped drive the sales increase. Also contributing to the sales increase was our Acquisition, which increased sales by $25.9 million (eight percent of sales), which consists of industrial specialties ($19.1 million), pavement technologies products ($0.1 million), and oilfield technologies ($6.7 million). See Note 4 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Acquisition.

Segment operating profit for the Performance Chemicals segment was $55.6 million and $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Segment operating profit increased by $18.8 million primarily due to increased volumes of $4.9 million, $8.3 million of favorable pricing and product mix, $2.2 million of favorable manufacturing productivity primarily driven by lower raw material pricing, specifically crude tall oil ("CTO"), $3.1 million due to favorable foreign currency exchange. The Acquisition (completed in Q1 2018) contributed $4.8 million to the gains realized during the period. These favorable operating results were partially offset by $4.5 million of unfavorable SG&A costs, driven by higher incentive compensation costs and growth-related spending. Higher incentive compensation costs were driven by the improvements in gross profit as compared to the prior period and higher amortization costs were primarily due to the amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition. See Note 4 within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Acquisition.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ingevity has presented certain financial measures, defined below, which have not been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and has provided a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The below financial measures are utilized by management as measures of profitability.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide management as well as investors, potential investors, securities analysts and others with useful information to evaluate the performance of the business, because such measures, when viewed together with our financial results computed in accordance with GAAP, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our historical financial performance and projected future results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are useful measures because they exclude the effects of investment activities as well as non-operating activities.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, separation costs, acquisition and other related costs and restructuring and other (income) charges, net. Segment EBITDA is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation and amortization.

These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP and investors should consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA to net income and segment operating profit, respectively, are set forth within this section.

Total Company Outlook and Fiscal Year 2018 Guidance

For revenue, the Acquisition coupled with organic volume growth in Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals oilfield and pavement technologies applications are expected to be partially offset by negative volume in Performance Chemicals industrial specialties applications as we continue to derivatize higher quantities of tall oil fatty acid ("TOFA") into oilfield and pavement products. We expect to deliver fiscal year 2018 Net sales of $1.10 billion to $1.13 billion.

2018 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow by 24% to 29%. This is driven by the Acquisition as well as mix improvement due to volume growth in our higher margin Performance Materials and Performance Chemicals pavement technologies and oilfield technologies applications and favorable year over year CTO costs, partially offset by reduced volume in industrial specialties and higher production related costs including freight. Some risks to the 2018 outlook include reductions in U.S. vehicle sales and production in automotive applications, higher non-CTO raw materials costs with higher oil prices, a shift towards smaller vehicles in the U.S. (versus the 2016 and 2017 shift towards light-trucks), lower automotive product sales in China driven by a reduction in tax incentives versus 2017, lower oil prices and a reduction in oil drilling and production in oilfield technologies, and our ability to fully integrate the Acquisition's tall oil refinery into our network and capture planned synergies in 2018. We expect to deliver fiscal year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $302 million to $314 million.

A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA as projected for 2018 is not provided because we do not forecast Net income as we cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of Net income. These components, net of tax, include separation costs associated with the separation from WestRock, additional acquisition

and other related costs associated with the Acquisition; further restructuring and other income (charges), net; and revisions due to future guidance and assessment of U.S. Tax Reform. Additionally, discrete tax items could drive variability in our projected effective tax rate. All of these components could significantly impact such financial measures. Further, in the future other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in Adjusted EBITDA, that have a similar impact on comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time, may exist and impact Net income (loss) attributable to Ingevity stockholders and Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of liquidity for Ingevity’s business is the cash flow provided by operations. We expect our cash flow provided by operations combined with cash on hand and available capacity under our revolving credit facility to be sufficient to meet our working capital needs. Over the next twelve months, we expect to make interest payments, capital expenditures, principal repayments, treasury share repurchases, income tax payments and additional acquisition-related costs. We believe these sources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations and meet our interest and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2018, our available capacity under our revolving credit facility was $548.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $83.0 million at June 30, 2018. Management continuously monitors deposit concentrations and the credit quality of the financial institutions that hold Ingevity's cash and cash equivalents, as well as the credit quality of its insurance providers, customers and key suppliers.

Due to the global nature of our operations, a portion of our cash is held outside the United States. The cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2018 included $17.6 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash and earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generally used to finance our foreign operations and capital expenditures. We have calculated our best estimate of the impact of U.S. Tax Reform in our current quarter's income tax provision in accordance with our understanding of the changes to the Internal Revenue Code and guidance available as of the date of this filing. No additional expense was recorded in relation to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.

We believe that our foreign holdings of cash will not have a material adverse impact on our U.S. liquidity. Management does not currently expect to repatriate cash earnings from our foreign operations in order to fund U.S. operations. If these earnings were distributed, such amounts would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the statutory rate less the available foreign tax credits, if any, and potentially subject to withholding taxes in the various jurisdictions. The potential tax implications of the repatriation of unremitted earnings are driven by facts at the time of distribution, therefore, it is not practicable to estimate the income tax liabilities that might be incurred if such cash and earnings were repatriated to the U.S.

Other Potential Liquidity Needs

Share Repurchases

Capital Expenditures

Projected 2018 capital expenditures are expected to be $80 million to $90 million.

Cash flow comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017



	Six Months Ended June 30,

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities	$	71.1		$	52.7
Net cash provided (used) by investing activities	(348.1		)	(27.5		)
Net cash provided (used) by financing activities	271.9			(15.1		)

Cash flows provided (used) by operating activities

During the first six months of 2018, cash flow provided by operations increased primarily due to higher net income partially offset by working capital increases compared to 2017. Working capital increases in the first six months of 2018 when compared to the first six months of 2017 are primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable and inventories. Below provides a description of the changes to working capital during the first six months of 2018 (i.e. current assets and current liabilities).

Current Assets and Liabilities



In millions	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	83.0	$	87.9
Accounts receivable, net	148.1		100.0
Inventories, net	195.1		160.0
Prepaid and other current assets	31.4		20.8
Total current assets	$	457.6	$	368.7

Current assets as of June 30, 2018 increased $88.9 million compared to December 31, 2017 primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories. Accounts receivable, net as of June 30, 2018 increased $48.1 million consistent with the higher sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017. While Cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.9 million, both Inventories, net and Prepaid and other current assets increased by $35.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively. The build in inventories is due to three items: first, the build-up of inventory in advance of the latter part of the paving season in our Performance Chemicals segment; second, the inclusion of the Acquisition’s product inventory; and finally, the intentional build of activated carbon inventory in preparation for the adoption in China of that country’s new gasoline vapor emission standards applicable to our Performance Materials segment.



In millions	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Accounts payable	$	105.8	$	83.1
Accrued expenses	28.3		20.0
Accrued payroll and employee benefits	24.4		39.2
Current maturities of long-term debt	18.8		9.4
Income taxes payable	—		1.5
Total current liabilities	$	177.3	$	153.2

Current liabilities as of June 30, 2018 increased by $24.1 million compared to December 31, 2017 primarily driven by an increase in Accounts payable, Accrued expenses, and Current maturities of long-term debt, offset by decreases in Accrued payroll and employee benefits.

Cash flows provided (used) by investing activities

Cash used by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $348.1 million and was primarily driven by the $315.0 million purchase of the Pine Chemical Business (see Note 4 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information). The remaining cash used by investing activities was primarily driven by capital expenditures. In the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, capital spending included the base maintenance capital supporting ongoing operations and growth spending primarily related to the construction of an activated carbon manufacturing facility in China, as well as expansion at our Performance Chemicals Deridder, Louisiana facility and our Performance Materials Waynesboro, Georgia and Covington, Virginia facilities.



Capital expenditure categories	Six Months Ended June 30,
In millions	2018		2017
Maintenance	$	15.4	$	12.2
Safety, health and environment	2.1		3.2
Growth and cost improvement	12.9		6.4
Total capital expenditures	$	30.4	$	21.8

Cash flows provided (used) by financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $271.9 million and was driven by net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes of $294.3 million (refer to Note 10 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information), offset by noncontrolling interest distributions of $13.2 million, and repurchase of common stock of $9.1 million. Cash used by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $15.1 million and was primarily driven by net borrowings under our credit facility of $9.1 million and noncontrolling interest distributions of $4.8 million.

Contractual Obligations

Information related to our contractual commitments at December 31, 2017 can be found in a table included within Part II, Item 7 of our 2017 Annual Report. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of the Pine Chemical Business for $315.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, in March 2018 (refer to Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information), and we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50 percent senior unsecured notes due 2026 (refer to Note 10 of the Condensed Financial Statements for more information). On July 24, 2018, we signed an agreement to acquire the remaining 30 percent interest in Purification Cellutions LLC, held by Applied Technology Limited Partnership, Doraville, Georgia. Purification Cellutions LLC manufactures our structured honeycomb products within our Performance Materials segment. On August 1, 2018, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the membership interest purchase agreement, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 30 percent interest in Purification Cellutions LLC for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $80 million. There have been no other material changes to our contractual commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

New Accounting Guidance

Refer to the Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption and expected effects on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have described our accounting policies in Note 3 to our Annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2017 Annual Report. We have reviewed these accounting policies, identifying those that we believe to be critical to the preparation and understanding of our financial statements. Critical accounting policies are central to our presentation of results of operations and financial condition and require management to make estimates and judgments on certain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current conditions and other reasonable factors.

The following is a list of those accounting policies that we have deemed most critical to the presentation and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section included within the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Ingevity" section in our 2017 Annual Report for a detailed description of these policies and their potential effects on our results of operations and financial condition:

•Revenue recognition

•Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

•Concentration of credit risk

•Impairment of long-lived assets

•Income taxes

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes both the revenue recognition requirement to ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new standard (ASC 606) is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity must also disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative information about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued several ASUs that provided additional clarity on numerous topics as well as providing technical corrections to the original ASU 2014-09. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASC 606 and its impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The majority of our sales revenue remains unchanged by ASC 606 and continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing and warehousing facilities, which represents the point at which control is transferred to the customer. For certain limited contracts, where we are producing goods with no alternative use and for which we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, we are recognizing revenue as goods are manufactured, rather than when they are shipped as previously done under ASC 605. See Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASC 606.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We have foreign-based operations, primarily in Europe, South America and Asia, which accounted for approximately 10 percent of our net sales in the first six months of 2018. Ingevity's significant operations outside the U.S. have designated the local currency as their functional currency. The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the Japanese yen and the Chinese renminbi. In addition, certain of our domestic operations have sales to foreign customers. In the conduct of our foreign operations, we also make inter-company sales. All of this exposes us to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our earnings are therefore subject to change due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when the earnings in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars. During 2017, we began hedging this foreign currency exchange rate risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows. The U.S. dollar versus the euro is our most significant foreign currency exposure. A hypothetical 10 percent change in the average euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate during the six months ended June 30, 2018, would have changed our net sales and income before income taxes by approximately $5.8 million or one percent and $4.2 million or four percent, respectively.

Concentration of credit risk

The financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable. We limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, when necessary, requiring letters of credit, guarantees or collateral. We had accounts receivable relating to our largest customer of $13 million and $16 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Commodity price risk

A portion of our manufacturing costs include purchased raw materials, which are commodities whose prices fluctuate as market supply and demand fundamentals change. Accordingly, product margins and the level of our profitability tend to fluctuate with the changes in these commodity prices. The cost of energy is a manufacturing cost that is exposed to commodity pricing. Our energy costs are diversified among electricity, steam and natural gas, with natural gas comprising our largest energy input.

Crude tall oil price risk

Our results of operations are directly affected by the costs of our raw materials, particularly CTO. CTO purchases were approximately 16 percent of our cost of sales and 39 percent of our raw materials purchases for the first six months of 2018. Pricing for CTO is subject to particular pricing pressures due to the limited supply elasticity of the product and competing demands for its use, both of which drive pressure on price. Our gross profit and margins could be adversely affected by changes in the cost of CTO if we are unable to pass the increases on to our customers. CTO is a thinly traded commodity with pricing commonly established for periods ranging from one quarter to one year periods of time. We try to protect against such pricing fluctuations through various business strategies. Based on average pricing during the six months ended June 30, 2018, a hypothetical unfavorable 10 percent change in the market price for CTO would have resulted in additional costs of sales of approximately $3.6 million or one percent, which we may or may not have been able to pass on to our customers.

Natural gas price risk

Natural gas is our largest form of energy purchases, constituting approximately two percent of our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Increases in natural gas costs, unless passed on to our customers, would adversely affect our results of operations. If natural gas prices increase significantly, our business or results of operations may be adversely affected. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, a hypothetical unfavorable 10 percent change in natural gas pricing would have resulted in an additional cost of sales of approximately $0.8 million. To mitigate expected fluctuations in market prices and the volatility to earnings and cash flow resulting from changes to pricing of natural gas purchases, from time to time, we will enter into swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts and designate these contracts as cash flow hedges. We began our commodity price risk hedging program in December 2017 and therefore prior to this date we had no derivative financial instruments designated to hedge commodity price risk. As of June 30, 2018, we had 1.6 million and 2.0 million mmBTUS (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity swap contracts and zero cost collar option contracts, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2018, open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until February 26, 2019. The fair value of the outstanding designated natural gas commodity hedge contracts as of June 30, 2018 was $0.1 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, include a variable interest rate component. As a result, we are subject to interest rate risk with respect to such floating-rate debt. A 100 basis point increase in the variable interest rate component of our borrowings as of June 30, 2018 would increase our annual interest expense by approximately 3.8 million or 11 percent.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Ingevity maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in Ingevity's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of June 30, 2018, Ingevity's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), together with management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Ingevity's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level described above. As further discussed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Form 10-Q, we completed the Acquisition on March 8, 2018. We have begun the process of analyzing the Pine Chemical Business’ systems of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and integrating them within our framework of controls. Accordingly, pursuant to SEC guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment for up to one year following the date of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures does not include any disclosure controls and procedures of the Pine Chemical Business.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ingevity's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is currently evaluating the Pine Chemical Business’ processes, information technology systems, and other components of internal controls over financial reporting as a part of the Company's integration activities which may result in periodic control changes. Such changes will be disclosed as required by applicable SEC guidance.
