NewMarket Corporation Stock price
Compare with Peer Group
📊 Peer Group
📈 What is it?
The peer group consists of the companies with the most similar business model. They serve as a benchmark for putting a stock into context.
🧮 How is it selected?
Based on similarity of business model, meaning companies from the same industry with comparable products and a similar customer base. That's the only way to compare apples to apples.
🏛️ Why does it matter?
Whether a stock is cheap or expensive is best judged by comparison. A P/E of 18 or an EV/FCF of 20 can look cheap or expensive depending on the yardstick. The peer group gives you the most accurate one: companies with a similar business model that operate under the same conditions.
🎯 What does it mean for investors?
When a metric sits below the peer average, the stock is valued more cheaply relative to its competitors, and above the average more expensively. A discount to the peer group can be an opportunity, but it can also have a reason (for example lower growth). The comparison is a starting point, not a verdict.

Key metrics
📘 Market Capitalization
📈 What is it?
Market capitalization shows how much a company is currently worth on the stock market.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It helps classify companies by size (Large, Mid, Small Cap) and indicates their market presence and relative stability.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Large-cap companies tend to be more stable, often pay dividends, but may grow more slowly.
- Smaller firms may offer higher growth potential but come with more volatility.
- Market capitalization is a useful indicator of company size — but not a measure of whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued.
📘 Enterprise Value (EV)
📈 What is it?
Enterprise Value represents the total cost to acquire a company — including its debt and excluding its cash reserves.
🧮 How is it calculated?
(= Market Cap + Net Debt)
🏛️ Why is it important?
EV gives a more complete picture of a company's value than market cap alone and is used in key valuation ratios like EV/FCF or EV/Sales.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Enterprise Value shows the true cost of buying a company, including all financial obligations.
- It is more accurate than just looking at market cap, especially when comparing companies with different levels of debt or cash.
- Professional investors prefer EV-based multiples because they better reflect the company’s full financial footprint.
📘 Net Debt
📈 What is it?
Net Debt shows how much debt remains after subtracting a company’s available cash reserves.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It indicates how dependent a company is on borrowed money and how easily it can service its debt in the short term.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Low or negative net debt signals financial strength and flexibility.
- Companies with strong cash positions are better positioned in crises.
- High net debt increases financial risk — especially in environments with rising interest rates or economic downturns.
📘 Cash
📈 What is it?
Cash represents all liquid assets a company can access immediately — including cash, bank deposits, and short-term investments.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It reflects a company’s financial flexibility and resilience — enabling investments, buybacks, or buffer in downturns.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A strong cash position means greater room for maneuver and crisis resistance.
- Cash-rich companies can invest, pay down debt, or repurchase shares.
- But excess idle cash might indicate a lack of growth opportunities.
📘 Shares Outstanding
📈 What is it?
Shares outstanding represent the total number of a company’s shares currently held by investors — excluding treasury stock.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It’s the basis for key metrics like Earnings Per Share (EPS), Market Capitalization, or the Price/Earnings ratio (P/E).
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Fewer shares in circulation typically increase earnings per share — making each share more valuable.
- Share buybacks reduce the number of shares and boost per-share metrics.
- Issuing new shares does the opposite — diluting shareholder value and lowering per-share figures.
📘 Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E)
📈 What is it?
The P/E ratio shows how many times a company's earnings per share are reflected in its current share price — in other words, how "expensive" the stock appears relative to its profits.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
The P/E ratio is one of the most widely used valuation metrics. It helps investors assess whether a stock appears cheap or expensive compared to its earnings power.
🧮 Calculation
📊 P/E (TTM) = Based on earnings from the last 12 months (Trailing Twelve Months):🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A low P/E may indicate undervaluation — or signal underlying issues.
- A high P/E may reflect strong growth expectations — or an overvalued stock.
📘 Price-to-Sales Ratio (P/S)
📈 What is it?
The P/S ratio shows how much investors are paying for $1 of the company’s revenue – regardless of profitability.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
P/S is especially useful for evaluating growth companies or businesses not yet profitable. It reflects how the market values the company’s sales.
🧮 Calculation
Market Cap = $8.33b | Revenue (TTM) = $2.74b
Market Cap = $8.33b | Estimated Revenue = $2.47b
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A low P/S may indicate undervaluation — or low profitability.
- A high P/S can reflect strong growth expectations — or excessive optimism.
- Especially helpful when evaluating companies where profits are low, volatile, or negative.
📘 Enterprise Value to Sales (EV/Sales)
📈 What is it?
EV/Sales shows how much investors are paying for $1 of revenue — considering not just equity, but also debt and cash. It’s the capital structure–adjusted version of the P/S ratio.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It’s ideal for comparing companies with different levels of debt. It reflects a company's true cost relative to its revenue.
🧮 Calculation
Enterprise Value = $9.09b | Revenue (TTM) = $2.74b
Enterprise Value = $9.09b | Forward Revenue = $2.47b
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- EV/Sales allows for capital structure–neutral company comparisons.
- A lower ratio may indicate undervaluation; a higher one may signal strong growth expectations or overvaluation.
- Especially helpful when evaluating high-growth companies with low or negative earnings.
📘 Enterprise Value to Free Cash Flow (EV/FCF) | ex SBC
📈 What is it?
EV/FCF compares a company’s enterprise value with its free cash flow. The metric therefore shows the multiple of current free cash flow at which a company is valued. EV/FCF ex SBC additionally accounts for stock-based compensation (SBC). While SBC does not represent a direct cash outflow, issuing shares as compensation can dilute existing shareholders. Therefore, SBC is deducted from free cash flow in this adjusted version.
🧮 How is it calculated?
EV/FCF ex SBC = Enterprise Value ÷ (Free Cash Flow (TTM) − SBC)
🏛️ Why is it important?
EV/FCF provides a valuation based on free cash flow and therefore complements earnings-based valuation metrics such as the P/E ratio. The ex SBC version additionally accounts for the economic impact of stock-based compensation and provides a more conservative view from a shareholder perspective.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A low EV/FCF means that enterprise value is low relative to current free cash flow. The reasons should always be considered in the context of the company and its industry.
- A high EV/FCF means that enterprise value is high relative to current free cash flow. This can, for example, reflect high growth expectations or temporarily weak cash generation.
- When SBC is positive and adjusted free cash flow remains positive, EV/FCF ex SBC is generally higher than the standard EV/FCF.
- The metric is particularly useful for companies with relatively stable and predictable cash flows.
- If free cash flow is negative or very low, EV/FCF has limited usefulness and should not be interpreted like a standard valuation multiple.
📘 Price-to-Book Ratio (P/B)
📈 What is it?
The P/B ratio compares a company’s market value to its book value — showing how much investors are paying for each dollar of net assets.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
P/B is commonly used for asset-heavy industries like banks or industrials. It helps assess whether a stock is trading above or below its net asset value.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A P/B below 1 may signal undervaluation — or weak profitability.
- A P/B above 1 implies the market expects future value creation (e.g., brand, IP, growth).
- Best used for companies with tangible assets and strong balance sheets.
📘 Dividend per Share (DPS)
📈 What is it?
Dividend per Share shows how much cash a company pays out to shareholders for each share they own – usually on an annual or quarterly basis.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
DPS is the absolute value of the payout per share – crucial for income-focused investors and dividend strategies.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A stable or growing DPS often signals a strong, shareholder-friendly business.
- DPS alone doesn’t tell you how attractive the payout is – the stock price also matters (→ see Dividend Yield).
- Long-term dividend growth is often a hallmark of high-quality companies – like the dividend aristocrats.
📘 Dividend Yield
📈 What is it?
Dividend yield shows how large a company’s dividend is in relation to its current share price.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It allows investors to compare dividend payouts across stocks, regardless of price or payout size.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A stable yield can reflect reliable distributions.
- Comparing 1Y and 5Y yield shows whether dividend growth keeps pace with stock price appreciation.
- A low yield isn’t always negative – it can signal strong past performance or growth focus.
📘 Dividend Growth
📈 What is it?
Dividend growth shows how much a company has increased its dividend per share over time.
🧮 How is it calculated?
5Y: Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
🏛️ Why is it important?
Consistently rising dividends are often a sign of financial strength and shareholder orientation – especially relevant for long-term investors.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Stable dividend growth is a sign of sustainable earning power.
- High dividend growth can significantly boost your total return:
- If a company pays $1 in dividends and increases it by 15% annually over 5 years, you’ll receive $2 per share in year 5 – twice as much as at the start!
📘 Payout Ratio
📈 What is it?
The payout ratio shows what percentage of a company’s earnings (per share) is distributed to shareholders as dividends.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It helps assess whether the dividend is sustainable – especially in relation to the company’s profitability.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A low payout ratio means the company retains more earnings for reinvestment – typical for growth companies.
- A moderate payout (e.g. 25–50%) indicates a healthy balance between returns and reinvestment.
- High payout ratios may seem attractive but can carry risk if earnings decline.
📘 Consecutive Dividend Increases
📈 What is it?
This metric shows how many consecutive years a company has raised its dividend per share – without any cuts or pauses.
🧮 How is it calculated?
(Special dividends are not considered.)
🏛️ Why is it important?
A long track record of increases reflects financial strength, consistency, and shareholder commitment.
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A long dividend increase streak builds confidence – especially in volatile markets.
- Such companies are seen as reliable and income-friendly investments.
- The longer the streak, the stronger the company’s dividend discipline.
📘 Revenue
📈 What is it?
Revenue shows how much a company earns in total from selling its products and services – the gross income before any costs are deducted.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
Revenue is one of the key figures to assess a company’s size, market position, and growth potential.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Growing revenue indicates rising demand and can be an early signal of future earnings growth.
- Comparing actual and expected revenue reveals trends in the market environment and analyst sentiment.
- Note: Strong revenue alone isn’t enough – margins and profitability matter just as much.
📘 EBITDA
📈 What is it?
EBITDA stands for “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization.” It reflects a company’s operating profit before the effects of financing, taxes, and accounting depreciation.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
EBITDA is widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance – especially across capital-intensive sectors or international comparisons.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high or growing EBITDA indicates strong operational profitability – independent of taxes, interest, or accounting methods.
- It’s especially useful for comparing companies across sectors or geographies.
- Important: EBITDA is not a net income figure – it excludes key costs like depreciation and interest.
📘 EBIT
📈 What is it?
EBIT stands for “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.” It reflects a company’s operating profit after depreciation, but before interest and tax expenses.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
EBIT is a core profitability metric that shows how well the company performs in its main business operations – independent of capital structure and tax environment.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high EBIT indicates strong profitability from the company’s core business – before financial and tax effects.
- It allows better comparison between companies with different debt levels or tax structures.
- Compared to EBITDA, EBIT already accounts for depreciation and reflects capital intensity more clearly.
📘 Net Income
📈 What is it?
Net income is the company’s total profit – the amount left after all expenses, taxes, interest, and depreciation have been deducted.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
Net income is the most comprehensive measure of a company’s profitability – showing how much actual profit remains after all business and financing costs.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Growing net income indicates that the company is managing all of its costs efficiently.
- It directly influences valuation metrics like P/E ratio and the company’s dividend capacity.
- Over time, net income trends reveal how resilient and profitable the business model really is.
📘 Free Cash Flow (FCF) | ex SBC
📈 What is it?
Free cash flow shows how much cash remains after a company has covered its operating and capital expenditures. FCF ex SBC additionally deducts stock-based compensation (SBC) to adjust the cash flow for the effect of non-cash SBC.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Free Cash Flow ex SBC = Operating Cash Flow − SBC − Capital Expenditures (CAPEX)
🏛️ Why is it important?
FCF reflects a company’s actual financial strength – independent of reported accounting earnings. It shows how much flexibility a company has for dividends, share buybacks, or debt reduction. FCF ex SBC also deducts stock-based compensation and shows how much cash generation remains after SBC.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- High free cash flow indicates that a company has strong financial strength – independent of reported earnings.
- It is often a solid basis for sustainable dividends and share buybacks.
- Declining FCF can be a warning sign, even if reported earnings remain stable.
📘 Revenue Growth
📈 What is it?
Revenue growth shows how much a company’s sales have changed compared to the previous year – both on a trailing basis (TTM) and based on forward projections.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Forward = (Expected revenue ÷ Revenue in prior year − 1) × 100
Forward growth is based on analyst estimates for the current fiscal year.
🏛️ Why is it important?
Rising revenue signals growing demand, business expansion, and market share gains – especially important for growth-oriented companies.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Growth is the engine of long-term value creation – especially in tech and growth sectors.
- What matters is not just current growth, but its sustainability.
- Forward projections reflect whether analysts expect continued momentum – or a slowdown.
📘 EBITDA Growth
📈 What is it?
EBITDA growth shows how much a company’s operating profit (before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) has increased or decreased compared to the previous year.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Forward = (Expected EBITDA ÷ EBITDA from prior year − 1) × 100
The forward estimate is based on analyst projections for the current fiscal year.
🏛️ Why is it important?
Growing EBITDA indicates improving operational profitability – regardless of financing or accounting effects.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Strong EBITDA growth signals operational efficiency and scalability – especially during growth phases.
- EBITDA growth can be an early indicator of margin and earnings expansion – but should be assessed alongside revenue and EBIT.
📘 EBIT Growth
📈 What is it?
EBIT growth shows how much a company’s operating profit (after depreciation, but before interest and taxes) has increased compared to the previous year.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Forward = (Expected EBIT ÷ EBIT from prior year − 1) × 100
The forward estimate is based on analyst projections for the current fiscal year.
🏛️ Why is it important?
EBIT growth is a direct indicator of a company’s business performance – taking into account capital intensity through depreciation.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Rising EBIT signals improving operating profitability – even after accounting for depreciation.
- It’s especially important for evaluating companies with significant capital expenditures.
- Combined with revenue and EBITDA growth, EBIT growth provides a well-rounded view of operational progress.
📘 Net Income Growth
📈 What is it?
Net income growth shows how much a company’s bottom-line profit has increased or decreased compared to the previous year – both on a trailing basis (TTM) and based on analyst projections.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Forward = (Expected net income ÷ Net income from prior year − 1) × 100
The forward estimate reflects analysts’ expectations for the current fiscal year.
🏛️ Why is it important?
Net income is the ultimate measure of profitability. Growing net income signals stronger efficiency, cost control, and sustainable earnings power.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Stronger net income boosts valuation, dividend potential, and investor confidence.
- If profits stall while revenue grows, it may signal margin pressure.
📘 Free Cash Flow Growth
📈 What is it?
Free cash flow (FCF) growth shows how a company’s available cash – after covering operating expenses and capital expenditures – has changed compared to the previous year.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
Free cash flow reflects real financial strength. Growing FCF indicates more flexibility for dividends, share buybacks, and reinvestment.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Declining FCF may point to rising investments, increasing costs, or weaker operating performance.
- Especially for dividend investors, FCF growth is critical – since dividends are paid from actual available cash.
- A negative trend isn't always bad, but it deserves closer attention.
📘 Gross Margin
📈 What is it?
Gross margin shows how much of a company’s revenue remains after deducting the direct costs of goods sold (like materials and production). It represents the company’s “raw profit” before fixed costs, taxes, and interest.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Or simply: Gross Margin = Gross Profit ÷ Revenue × 100
🏛️ Why is it important?
Gross margin indicates how efficiently a company can produce or procure what it sells. It is a key measure of product-level profitability and pricing power.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high gross margin suggests strong pricing power and efficient production.
- Falling margins may signal rising input costs or competitive pressure.
- Compared to peers, gross margin offers insights into the quality of a business model.
📘 EBITDA Margin
📈 What is it?
The EBITDA margin shows how much of a company’s revenue remains as operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.It reflects operating efficiency without being distorted by financing or accounting factors.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
The EBITDA margin reveals how much operating income a company generates per dollar of revenue – independent of capital structure and tax effects.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high EBITDA margin reflects strong core profitability – before accounting distortions.
- It allows for effective comparisons across companies and sectors.
- A stable or growing margin signals efficient cost control and business scalability.
📘 EBIT Margin
📈 What is it?
The EBIT margin shows what percentage of revenue remains as operating profit after depreciation but before interest and taxes.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
The EBIT margin reflects a company’s core profitability while accounting for capital intensity (e.g. machinery, infrastructure). It’s especially useful for comparing businesses with different levels of depreciation.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high EBIT margin shows that the company remains efficient even after factoring in depreciation.
- It’s especially relevant for capital-intensive industries.
- Stable or rising EBIT margins over time are a strong indicator of pricing power and business quality.
📘 Net Margin
📈 What is it?
Net margin shows how much of a company’s revenue remains as bottom-line profit after deducting all costs, interest, taxes, and depreciation.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
Net margin reflects a company’s overall efficiency – across operations, financing, and taxation. It shows how much actual profit is generated from each dollar of revenue.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high net margin means the company is not only strong operationally but also manages financing and taxes efficiently.
- Peer comparisons reveal business quality and competitiveness.
- Declining margins despite revenue growth can be a red flag for rising costs or inefficiencies.
📘 Free Cash Flow Margin | ex SBC
📈 What is it?
The Free Cash Flow Margin shows how much free cash flow a company generates relative to its revenue. In simplified terms, free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. The Free Cash Flow Margin ex SBC additionally accounts for stock-based compensation (SBC). While SBC does not represent a direct cash outflow, issuing shares as compensation can dilute existing shareholders. Therefore, SBC is deducted from free cash flow in this adjusted metric.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Free Cash Flow Margin ex SBC = (Free Cash Flow − SBC) ÷ Revenue × 100
🏛️ Why is it important?
The Free Cash Flow Margin shows how efficiently a company converts its revenue into free cash flow. Strong free cash flow can provide financial flexibility for dividends, share buybacks, debt repayment, or further investments. The ex SBC version additionally accounts for the economic impact of stock-based compensation and therefore provides a more conservative view of cash generation from a shareholder perspective.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high Free Cash Flow Margin shows that a company converts a high proportion of its revenue into free cash flow.
- This can provide greater financial flexibility for dividends, share buybacks, debt repayment, or investments.
- The Free Cash Flow Margin ex SBC additionally accounts for potential shareholder dilution from stock-based compensation.
- The long-term trend is particularly important. Declining margins can, for example, result from higher investments, changes in working capital, or weaker operating performance.
📘 Equity Ratio
📈 What is it?
The equity ratio indicates what portion of a company’s total assets is financed by shareholders’ equity – in other words, how much it relies on its own capital.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
A high equity ratio reflects financial strength and stability, especially during downturns. It’s a key indicator of a company’s solvency and long-term risk profile.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Companies with high equity ratios are generally more resilient and less dependent on external debt.
- Low equity ratios can signal higher risk or aggressive financial strategies.
- Important: Always assess the equity ratio in combination with the return on equity (ROE). This shows not just how stable the company is – but also how efficiently it uses shareholder capital.
📘 Return on Equity (ROE)
📈 What is it?
Return on equity (ROE) shows how efficiently a company uses its shareholders’ equity to generate profit. In other words: how much net income is earned per dollar of equity.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
ROE is a core profitability metric. It helps investors understand whether a company delivers attractive returns on the capital provided by its shareholders.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high ROE indicates that the company is using its capital efficiently and profitably.
- It’s especially meaningful for capital-intensive businesses or firms with high equity bases.
- Important: A very high ROE can also result from high debt levels – always interpret it alongside the equity ratio to assess financial health.
📘 Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
📈 What is it?
ROCE measures how efficiently a company generates profits from its total capital – including both equity and interest-bearing debt.
🧮 How is it calculated?
It evaluates the return on all capital employed, regardless of how it’s financed.
🏛️ Why is it important?
ROCE is ideal for comparing companies with different financing structures. It shows how well management uses capital to create value for both shareholders and creditors.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high ROCE means the company uses its capital efficiently – regardless of whether it's funded by debt or equity.
- The higher the ROCE compared to peers, the more value the company creates with its invested capital.
- Especially relevant for capital-intensive sectors like industrials, energy, or infrastructure.
📘 Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
📈 What is it?
ROIC measures how efficiently a company generates returns from the capital invested in its core operations – regardless of whether the capital comes from equity or debt.
🧮 How is it calculated?
- NOPAT = Net Operating Profit After Taxes
- Invested Capital = Operating assets minus non-interest-bearing liabilities
🏛️ Why is it important?
ROIC is one of the most accurate indicators of capital efficiency. Unlike return on equity, it is not distorted by leverage and shows how much value is created for all capital providers.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high ROIC shows how effectively a company uses the capital that is truly invested in its core operations.
- Unlike ROCE, ROIC focuses only on the capital that is actively used to run the business – and that requires a return (i.e. interest-bearing).
- Especially useful when comparing companies with large amounts of excess cash or non-interest-bearing liabilities – giving a more realistic picture of capital efficiency.
📘 Leverage Ratio (Debt-to-Equity)
📈 What is it?
The leverage ratio indicates how much a company relies on interest-bearing debt (such as loans and bonds) relative to its shareholders’ equity.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
This ratio helps assess a company’s financial structure and risk profile. High leverage can enhance returns – but also increases exposure to interest rate changes and financial stress.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A low leverage ratio signals financial strength and independence.
- A higher ratio can improve returns in good times but increases risk during downturns or rising interest rate periods.
- 👉 Always interpret in the context of industry, capital intensity, and interest rate environment.
📘 SBC | in % Revenue
📈 What is it?
SBC (Stock-Based Compensation) refers to equity-based compensation granted by a company to its employees and executives. The percentage shows SBC relative to revenue.
🧮 How is it calculated?
SBC as % of Revenue = (SBC ÷ Revenue) × 100
🏛️ Why is it important?
Stock-based compensation is a real cost factor for shareholders. It can increase the number of shares outstanding and therefore dilute existing shareholders. The percentage of revenue shows how heavily a company relies on equity-based compensation and how significant this form of compensation is relative to the size of the business.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A lower figure is generally positive: Stock-based compensation is relatively small compared with the company's revenue.
- A high figure can indicate greater reliance on stock-based compensation and a higher potential risk of dilution. However, it is also important to consider whether the company offsets dilution through share buybacks.
- The trend over time should also be considered. A high but declining percentage presents a different picture from a persistently high or increasing percentage.
- A single-digit SBC-to-revenue ratio is not unusual among many growth-oriented and technology companies.
📘 SBC as % of FCF
📈 What is it?
SBC (Stock-Based Compensation) refers to equity-based compensation granted by a company to its employees and executives. The percentage shows SBC relative to free cash flow (FCF).
🧮 How is it calculated?
SBC as % of FCF = (SBC ÷ Free Cash Flow) × 100
🏛️ Why is it important?
Stock-based compensation is a real cost factor for shareholders. It can increase the number of shares outstanding and therefore dilute existing shareholders. The percentage of free cash flow shows how significant SBC is relative to the cash generated by the company. Since SBC is non-cash compensation, it is typically not deducted as a cash outflow when calculating FCF.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A lower value is generally favorable. Stock-based compensation is relatively small compared with the company's cash generation.
- A high value means that SBC represents a significant portion of the company's reported free cash flow, even though SBC itself is non-cash.
- The higher the value, the more significant SBC can be as an economic cost to shareholders, particularly when it results in share dilution.
📘 SBC Growth 1Y
📈 What is it?
SBC Growth 1Y shows how much a company's stock-based compensation has changed compared to the previous year.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
SBC Growth shows whether stock-based compensation is becoming more or less significant for shareholders. If SBC increases significantly, it can lead to greater shareholder dilution over time. At the same time, SBC is a non-cash expense that reduces earnings on the income statement but is added back in the cash flow statement.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high positive value is generally negative, as rising SBC can increase the burden on shareholders, particularly through potential dilution.
- What matters is whether the development of SBC is sustainable over the long term. Some level of SBC is common among many growth and technology companies.
📘 Share Count Growth 1Y
📈 What is it?
Share Count Growth 1Y shows how much the number of shares outstanding has increased or decreased over a one-year period.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
The number of shares determines how many shares the company's earnings and assets are distributed across. If the share count decreases, existing shareholders' relative ownership increases. If it increases, existing shareholders are diluted. The metric therefore makes dilution and share buybacks directly visible.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A negative value is generally positive, as the number of shares outstanding is decreasing.
- A positive value indicates dilution of existing shareholders.
- A declining share count is not automatically positive: It also matters at what price the shares are repurchased and how the buybacks are financed.
📘 Shareholder Yield
📈 What is it?
Shareholder Yield measures how much capital a company returns to shareholders or uses to reduce debt relative to its market capitalization. It goes beyond dividend yield by also including share buybacks and debt reduction.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
Dividend yield only tells part of the story. Companies can also return capital through share buybacks, while reducing debt can strengthen the balance sheet. Shareholder Yield combines all three components into one metric, giving investors a broader view of how a company uses its capital.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A higher Shareholder Yield generally indicates more capital being returned to shareholders or used to reduce debt.
- The mix matters: dividends, buybacks, and debt reduction can affect shareholders in different ways.
- Share buybacks are most beneficial when shares are repurchased at attractive valuations.
- Investors should also consider whether dividends, buybacks, and debt reduction are sustainable over time.
📘 Earnings per share (EPS)
📈 What is it?
Earnings per Share (EPS) shows how much profit is attributable to a single share – and is one of the most important metrics for evaluating a company's performance.
🧮 How is it calculated?
The diluted share count reflects potential new shares that could be issued through options, convertible bonds, or other rights.
🏛️ Why is it important?
EPS is the basis for many key valuation metrics like P/E ratio, PEG ratio, or payout ratio. It enables comparisons of profitability across companies, regardless of their size.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- EPS captures per-share profitability and is especially useful for comparisons over time or with analyst estimates.
- Rising EPS may signal consistent growth or share buybacks.
- Important: Always use diluted EPS for more realistic valuations – especially in companies with stock-based compensation.
📘 Free cash flow per share (FCF per share)
📈 What is it?
Free Cash Flow per Share shows how much free cash flow a company generates per outstanding share – after investments, but before dividends or debt repayments.
🧮 How is it calculated?
Free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures (CapEx).
🏛️ Why is it important?
FCF per Share reveals how much real cash is available per share – useful for dividends, buybacks, or reducing debt. Unlike net income, free cash flow is harder to manipulate and often seen as a more reliable metric.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- High FCF per share signals strong financial flexibility.
- It shows how much capital the company can effectively reinvest or return to shareholders.
- Particularly relevant for dividend payers and capital-efficient businesses.
📘 Short interest
📈 What is it?
Short interest indicates how many shares of a company are currently sold short – that is, borrowed and sold by investors who expect the price to decline.
🧮 How is it calculated?
It reflects the percentage of a company’s shares that are being shorted relative to the total shares available.
🏛️ Why is it important?
Short interest serves as a sentiment indicator: A high value may signal skepticism or bearish expectations – but also increases the potential for a short squeeze if prices rise unexpectedly.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- Low short interest usually indicates market confidence in the company.
- High short interest can be a warning sign – or an opportunity if sentiment shifts.
- Especially relevant in volatile markets or ahead of key earnings releases.
📘 Employees
📈 What is it?
The employee count shows how many people a company employs worldwide – offering insights into its size, structure, and business model.
🧮 How is it calculated?
🏛️ Why is it important?
It helps assess operational scale, labor intensity, and cost structure. Combined with revenue and profit, it enables key metrics like revenue per employee or productivity.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high headcount can signal operational complexity – but also significant growth capacity.
- Revenue per employee is a key indicator of efficiency.
- Especially useful for comparing tech, industrial, or service-heavy companies.
📘 Revenue per employee
📈 What is it?
Revenue per employee indicates how much revenue a company generates on average per employee – a key measure of efficiency and productivity.
🧮 How is it calculated?
The employee count is typically taken from the most recent annual report.
🏛️ Why is it important?
This metric helps compare business models – especially between labor-intensive and technology-driven companies. A high value suggests automation, operational efficiency, or strong value creation per head.
🧮 Calculation
🎯 What does this mean for investors?
- A high revenue per employee indicates a scalable and margin-strong business model.
- A low figure may reflect labor-intensive operations or lower value-add.
- Especially helpful when comparing tech companies to industrial or service sectors.

NewMarket Corporation — Q2 2026 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Greetings, and welcome to the NewMarket Corporation Scheduled Conference Call and Webcast to review Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference call is being recorded.
I will now turn the conference over to your host, Mr. Tim Fitzgerald, Chief Financial Officer with NewMarket Corporation. Sir, the floor is yours.
Thank you, and thanks to everyone for joining me this afternoon.
As a reminder, some of the statements made during this conference call may be forward-looking. Relevant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements are contained in our earnings release and in our SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K.
During this call, we will also discuss the non-GAAP financial measures included in our earnings release. The earnings release, which can be found on our website, includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures. We filed our 10-Q for the second quarter of 2026 today, and it contains significantly more details on the operations and performance of our company. Today, I will be referring to the data that was included in last night's press release.
Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $134 million, or $14.54 per share compared to net income of $111 million, or $11.84 per share for the second quarter of 2025. Net income for the first half of 2026 was $252 million or $27.14 per share compared to net income of $237 million or $25.11 per share in the first half of 2025.
Petroleum additives sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $676 million compared to $654 million for the same period in 2025. Petroleum additives operating profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $149 million compared to operating profit of $140 million in 2025. The increase in operating profit was mainly due to surcharges that were implemented in response to higher costs we have seen in our P&L from the supply chain disruptions in the Middle East.
For the first half of 2026, sales for the Petroleum Additives segment were $1.3 billion, essentially flat compared to the same period in 2025. Petroleum additives operating profit for the first half of 2026 was $284 million compared to $282 million in 2025. We are very pleased with the performance of our petroleum additives business during the first half of 2026 and the work done by our team to operate within a rapidly changing environment due to the conflict in the Middle East. We remain committed to improving efficiency and managing operating costs, while continuing to focus on investing in technology and our supply network to meet customer needs.
Specialty materials sales for the second quarter of 2026 were $67 million compared to $42 million for the same period in 2025. Specialty materials operating profit for the second quarter of 2026 was $22 million compared to $11 million for the second quarter of 2025. The 2025 period excludes Calca's results as the acquisition was completed on October 1, 2025. As previously stated, we will see substantial variation in quarterly results for the Specialty Materials segment on an ongoing basis due to the nature of the business.
For the first half of 2026, sales for Specialty Materials segment were $125 million compared to $96 million for the same period in 2025. Specialty materials operating profit for the first half of 2026 was $35 million, essentially flat compared to the first half of 2025.
We are especially pleased with the performance of our Specialty Materials segment, and we are excited about our investments to expand production capacity for both ammonium perchlorate and high-purity hydrazine to support the domestic production of critical aerospace and defense chemicals. We expect to see this additional capacity come online towards the end of 2026.
Our company generated solid cash flow for the first half of 2026, which allowed us to return $182 million to our shareholders through dividends of $56 million and share repurchases of $126 million. Our net debt-to-EBITDA ratio improved to 1.0x as of June 30, 2026.
As we look ahead to the second half of 2026, we are committed to making decisions that promote long-term value for our customers and shareholders, while staying focused on our long-term objectives. We believe that the core principles guiding our business: a long-term perspective, a safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven products and a world-class supply chain will continue to benefit all our stakeholders.
That concludes our planned comments. We are available for questions via e-mail or by phone. So please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you all again, and we will talk to you next quarter.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
NewMarket Corporation — Q1 2026 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Greetings. Welcome to the NewMarket Corporation Conference Call and Webcast to review First Quarter 2026 Financial Results. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded.
I will now turn the conference over to your host, Tim Fitzgerald, CFO at NewMarket. You may begin.
Thank you, and thanks to everyone for joining me this afternoon. As a reminder, some of the statements made during this conference call may be forward-looking. Relevant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements are contained in our earnings release and in our SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K.
During this call, we will also discuss the non-GAAP financial measures included in our earnings release. The earnings release, which can be found on our website, includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures. We filed our 10-Q for the first quarter of 2026 today and it contains significantly more details on the operations and performance of our company.
Today, I will be referring to the data that was included in last night's press release. Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $118 million or $12.62 per share compared to net income of $126 million or $13.26 per share for the first quarter of 2025. Petroleum Additives sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $610 million compared to $646 million for the same period in 2025. Petroleum Additives operating profit for the first quarter of 2026 was $135 million compared to operating profit of $142 million in 2025. The decrease in operating profit was mainly due to the decline in shipments of 7% due to softening in the market and our strategic decision to reduce low-margin business. However, we are encouraged by the increase in shipments we observed in the latter part of the first quarter of 2026. Despite the decline in shipments in the first quarter, our operating profit margin remained strong.
We are very pleased with the performance of our Petroleum Additives business during the first quarter of 2026 and the work done by our team to operate within a rapidly changing environment due to the conflict in the Middle East. We have implemented price adjustments to account for the escalating cost of raw materials, utilities and logistics, and we have rebalanced our global production to make sure we are meeting customer demands in a dynamically evolving market. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to improving efficiency and managing operating costs. Our focus continues to be on investing in technology and our supply network to meet customer demands, enhancing our operational efficiency and improving our portfolio profitability.
We report the financial results of our AMPAC business and our newly acquired Calca Solutions business in our Specialty Materials segment. Specialty Materials sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $58 million compared to $54 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in sales was mainly due to the inclusion of the Calca business, which was acquired on October 1, 2025, offset by a shift in shipment mix at AMPAC versus the first quarter of last year.
Specialty Materials operating profit for the first quarter of 2026 was $12 million compared to $23 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decline in operating profit was mainly due to the change in quarterly shipment mix at AMPAC compared to last year. As previously stated, we will see substantial variation in quarterly results for the Specialty Materials segment on an ongoing basis due to the nature of the business.
Our company generated solid cash flows throughout the first quarter, which allowed us to return $154 million to our shareholders through share repurchases of $126 million and dividends of $28 million. As of March 31, 2026, our net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 1.2x.
As we look ahead to 2026, we are committed to making decisions that promote long-term value for our shareholders and customers while staying focused on our long-term objectives. We believe that the core principles guiding our business, a long-term perspective, a safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven products and a world-class supply chain will continue to benefit all of our stakeholders.
That concludes our planned comments. We are available for questions via e-mail or by phone. So please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you all again, and we will talk to you next quarter.
Thank you. This does conclude today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
NewMarket Corporation — Q4 2025 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Greetings. Welcome to the NewMarket Corporation conference call and webcast to review our fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results. [Operator Instructions]. Please note this conference is being recorded.
I will now turn the conference over to your host, Tim Fitzgerald, CFO at NewMarket. You may begin.
Thank you, and thanks to everyone for joining me this afternoon. As a reminder, some of the statements made during this conference call may be forward-looking. Relevant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements are contained in our earnings release and in our SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K.
During this call, we will also discuss the non-GAAP financial measures included in our earnings release. The earnings release, which can be found on our website, includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the closest comparable GAAP financial measures.
Today, I will be referring to the data that was included in last night's press release. However, our 2025 10-K contains significantly more details on the operations and performance of our company.
Pretax income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $113 million compared to $134 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. For the full year, pretax income was $561 million in 2025 compared to $584 million for 2024, a decline of only 4%. While we don't normally call out pretax income, it's notable now due to the significantly higher income taxes booked throughout the year, impacting our net income and EPS.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $81 million or $8.65 per share compared to net income of $111 million or $11.56 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024. Net income for the full year of 2025 was $419 million or $44.44 per share compared to our net income of $462 million or $48.22 per share for 2024.
One of the primary drivers of the decline in net income was a higher effective tax rate in 2025 compared to 2024. The factors driving the increase in our effective tax rate are outlined in the 10-K.
Petroleum additives sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $585 million compared to $626 million for the same period in 2024. Petroleum additives operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $107 million compared to $136 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which was a record fourth quarter for the segment.
The decrease in operating profit compared to prior year was driven by a decline in shipments of 6%, mainly due to market softness as well as a decline in selling prices. In addition, to manage inventory levels, operating profit in the fourth quarter was impacted by higher unit costs resulting from lower production volumes at our plants.
For the full year of 2025, sales for the Petroleum Additives segment were $2.5 billion compared to $2.6 billion for 2024. Petroleum additives operating profit for 2025 was $520 million compared to $592 million in 2024. The drivers for the decrease in operating profit were consistent with those affecting the fourth quarter comparison.
Shipments were down by 4.9% compared to last year as we saw market softness throughout 2025, combined with our strategic decision to manage the profitability of our portfolio by reducing low-margin business. We are very pleased with the performance of our petroleum additives business in 2025 compared to our record performance in 2024. However, we remain challenged by the ongoing inflationary environment and the impact of tariffs as well as softness in the market impacting shipments. We continue to focus on investing in technology to meet customer needs, becoming more efficient in our operating costs, optimizing our inventory levels and improving our portfolio profitability.
We report the financial results of our AMPAC business and our newly acquired Calca Solutions business in our Specialty Materials segment. Specialty Materials sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $49 million compared to $27 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in sales was mainly due to higher volume at AMPAC and the inclusion of the Calca business, which was acquired on October 1, 2025. Specialty Materials operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $7 million compared to about $2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
As previously stated, we will see substantial variation in quarterly results for the Specialty Materials segment on an ongoing basis due to the nature of the business. For the full year of 2025, sales for the Specialty Materials segment were $182 million compared to $141 million for 2024. Specialty Materials operating profit for 2025 was $47 million compared to $17 million for 2024.
The increase in operating profit was mainly driven by an increase in volume demand at AMPAC. As previously announced, through our acquisitions of AMPAC and Calca and our investments to expand capacity at both operations, we have committed approximately $1 billion to this resilient high-technology Specialty Materials segment.
Our company generated solid cash flows throughout the year in 2025, which allowed us to return $183 million to our shareholders through share repurchases of $77 million and dividends of $106 million. We also reduced our total debt by $88 million compared to 2024, which includes the borrowing for the Calca acquisition.
As of December 31, 2025, our net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 1.1x, slightly down from 1.2x at the end of 2024. This strong cash flow performance enables us to continue to provide value to our shareholders through reinvestment of capital into our businesses for growth and efficiency, acquisitions, share repurchases and dividends. We anticipate continued strength in our Petroleum additives and Specialty Materials segments. We are committed to making decisions that promote long-term value for our shareholders and customers while staying focused on our long-term objectives.
We believe that the core principles guiding our business, a long-term perspective, a safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven products and a world-class supply chain will continue to benefit all of our stakeholders. That concludes our planned comments. We are available for questions via e-mail or by phone, so please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you all again, and we will talk to you next quarter.
Thank you. This does conclude today's conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
NewMarket Corporation — Q3 2025 Earnings Call
1. Management Discussion
Good day, everyone, and welcome to the NewMarket Corporation conference call and webcast to review third quarter 2025 financial results. [Operator Instructions].
It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Tim Fitzgerald, Vice President and CFO. Sir, the floor is yours.
Thank you, Matthew, and thanks to everyone for joining me this afternoon. As a reminder, some of the statements made during this conference call may be forward-looking. Relevant factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements are contained in our earnings release and in our SEC filings including our most recent Form 10-K.
During this call, we will also discuss the non-GAAP financial measures included in our earnings release. The earnings release, which can be found on our website, includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.
We filed our 10-Q for the third quarter of 2025 earlier today, and it contains significantly more details on the operations and performance of our company. Today, I will be referring to the data that was included in last night's press release.
Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $100 million or $10.67 per share compared to net income of $132 million or $13.79 per share for the third quarter of 2024. Net income for the first 9 months of 2025 was $337 million, or $35.78 per share compared to net income of $352 million or $36.66 per share for the first 9 months of 2024.
Petroleum additives sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $649 million compared to $663 million for the same period in 2024. Petroleum additives operating profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $131 million compared to $157 million for the third quarter of 2024, which was a record quarter for this segment. The decrease in operating profit compared to prior year was primarily driven by onetime charges during the quarter, including those related to optimizing our global manufacturing network which will enable us to deliver products to our customers more efficiently in the years ahead. A 4.1% decline in shipments between quarterly periods and an increase in research and development investments to support our customer needs also contributed to the decrease in petroleum additives operating profit.
For the first 9 months of 2025, sales for the Petroleum Additives segment were $1.9 billion, compared to $2 billion for the same period in 2024.
Petroleum additives operating profit for the first 9 months of 2025 was $413 million compared to $456 million for the same period in 2024. The drivers for the decrease in operating profit were consistent with those affecting the third quarter comparison. Shipments were down by 4.6% when comparing the first 9 months of 2025 with the same period in 2024, driven by softness in the market and our strategic decision to manage the profitability of our portfolio by reducing low-margin business.
We are very pleased with the performance of our petroleum additives business during the first 9 months of 2025. However, we remain challenged by the ongoing inflationary environment and the impact of tariffs as well as softness in the market impacting shipments. We continue to focus on investing in technology to meet customer needs, optimizing our inventory levels and improving our portfolio profitability.
We report the financial results of our AMPAC business in our Specialty Materials segment. Specialty Materials sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $38 million, compared to $59 million for the same period in 2024. Specialty Materials operating profit for the third quarter of 2025 was $6 million compared to $16 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in operating profit was mainly due to lower volume within the quarter. As previously stated, we will see substantial variation in quarterly results for the Specialty Materials segment on an ongoing basis due to the nature of the business.
For the first 9 months of 2025, sales for the Specialty Materials segment were $134 million compared to $114 million for the period of January 16 to September 30, 2024. Specialty Materials operating profit for the first 9 months of 2025 was $40 million compared to $16 million for the period of January 16 to September 30, 2024.
As previously announced, we expanded our investment in the Specialty Materials segment through the October 1, 2025 acquisition of Calca Solutions, LLC. Calca is the nation's leading producer of ultrapure and high-purity hydrogen mission-critical propellant used in advanced aerospace and defense applications. Since 2024 through our acquisitions of AMPAC and Calca and our investments to expand capacity at both operations, we have committed approximately $1 billion to this resilient high-technology Specialty Materials segment.
Our company generated solid cash flows throughout the first 9 months of 2025, which allowed us to return $155 million to our shareholders through share repurchases of $77 million and dividends of $78 million. We also reduced our net debt by $213 million in the first 9 months of 2025, driving our net debt-to-EBITDA ratio down to 0.9x as of September 30, 2025.
This strong cash flow performance enables us to continue to provide value to our shareholders through reinvestment of capital into our businesses for growth and efficiency, acquisitions, share repurchases and dividends. Yesterday, the company's Board of Directors approved raising the quarterly dividend by 9%, up from $2.75 per share on our common stock to $3 per share for the dividend that is payable January 2, 2026.
We anticipate continued strength in our Petroleum Additives and Specialty Materials segments. We are committed to making decisions to promote long-term value for our shareholders and customers while staying focused on our long-term objectives.
We believe that the core principles guiding our business a long-term perspective, a safety-first culture, customer-focused solutions, technology-driven products and a world-class supply chain will continue to benefit all of our stakeholders.
Matthew, that concludes our planned comments. We are available for questions via e-mail or by phone. So please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you all again, and we'll talk to you next quarter.
Thank you. Everyone this concludes today's event. You may disconnect at this time, and have a wonderful day. Thank you for your participation.
