MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-11-04
There were no new accounting pronouncements relevant to Innospec in the quarter.
The Americas volumes were lower due to continued supply constraints and reduced demand for our personal care products, being offset by a favorable price and product mix due to pricing improvements and higher raw material costs.
EMEA volumes were lower due to decreased demand for our personal care products, being offset by a favorable price and product mix, driven by higher demand for our higher priced products and higher raw material costs.
ASPAC volumes were higher due to increased demand for certain products, together with a favorable price and
product mix, driven by higher demand for our higher priced products and higher raw material costs.

Gross margin: the year over year decrease of 0.2 percentage points was primarily due to negative manufacturing variances due to lower production volumes in North America, as we continue to advance our plant repairs, process
improvements and upgrades following severe weather conditions in the first quarter.
Operating expenses: the year over year increase of $0.4 million was primarily due to higher provisions for performance-related remuneration accruals.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
