Positive Outlook

  • Strong demand is expected to continue in all end-markets.
  • Additional price actions are being managed to offset inflationary impacts.
  • Fuel Specialties gross margins improved significantly over the fourth quarter and returned to the lower end of our target 32 to 35 percent range.
  • Oilfield Services is expected to resume its sequential operating income improvement in the coming quarters.
  • Debt-free balance sheet, broad mix of daily-use consumable products and relentless focus on customer service positions us well for continued growth in all our businesses.

Challenges Ahead

  • Sustained inflationary and supply-chain pressures persist.
  • Managing ongoing supply and logistical challenges will continue to be a key focus.
  • Oilfield Services experienced shipment delays leading to a sequential quarter decline in operating income.
  • Gross margins in Fuel Specialties are expected to remain on the lower end of the target range until cost inflation moderates.
  • Corporate costs increased due mainly to higher personnel-related expenses driven by increased share-based compensation accruals.
