EXPLANATORY NOTE
On October 22, 2007, we concluded to restate our previously issued financial statements because of
reporting errors relating to five postemployment employee benefit plans in three foreign countries.
Accordingly, we restated our previously issued financial statements included in our most recently
filed annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2006. We are filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period
ended March 31, 2007 to restate the interim financial statements
for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The following items have been amended as a result of this restatement:
|
|
|
Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements |
|
|
|
|
Part I - Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations |
|
|
|
|
Part I - Item 4. Controls and Procedures |
The impact of the restatement decreased both income from continuing operations and net income for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 by $0.3 million or less than one-half percent from amounts
previously reported. The impact of the restatement decreased income from continuing operations
and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by $0.6 million or 1.3% and 4.1%,
respectively, from amounts previously reported. The restatement had no effect on our previously
reported revenues or net cash flows. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased shareholders
equity as of March 31, 2007 by $24.9 million or 0.6% of total liabilities and shareholders equity
and by 1.4% of total shareholders equity. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased
shareholders equity as of December 31, 2006 by $24.3 million or 0.6% of total liabilities and
shareholders equity and 1.4% of total shareholders equity.
The errors primarily arose in three different postemployment employee benefit plans at a wholly
owned subsidiary and in postemployment employee benefit plans at two of our consolidated joint
ventures. Four of these postemployment employee benefit plans had been accounted for
inappropriately on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis as required by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), while the accrual recorded in the financial statements for the
fifth plan was not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The cumulative effect of the errors
resulted in an understatement of postemployment employee benefit plan liabilities of $39.7 million
and $38.9 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
See
Item 2 - Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Note 16 - Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Notes
to Financial Statements for more information regarding the restatement and changes to previously
issued financial statements.
We also concluded that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed for
deficiencies at some international locations due to insufficient requisite technical knowledge of
accounting for postemployment employee benefit plans in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the 2004
through 2006 fiscal years and through June 30, 2007, and that our disclosure controls were not
effective solely because of this material weakness. As such, we have modified our discussion of
disclosure controls and procedures included in Item 4 - Controls and Procedures.
Except as
noted above, we have not updated or modified disclosures presented in
the original quarterly report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 except as required to reflect the effects of the
restatement on this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A. Accordingly,
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring
after the filing of our original quarterly report on Form 10-Q on
May 4, 2007.

(In Millions of Dollars except Share and Per Share Data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals unless
otherwise noted) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for
complete financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares
outstanding during the period, including contingently issuable shares. Net income per diluted
share includes the dilutive effect resulting from outstanding stock options and awards. Per share
amounts from continuing operations are computed as follows:

New Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. This statement permits entities to make an irrevocable election to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The fair
value option may be applied instrument by instrument and must be applied to entire instruments.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the entity elects the fair value option are reported
in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15,
2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. Entities are not permitted to apply this statement retrospectively to the fiscal
years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. The company currently
is evaluating the impact of this recently issued standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair
value measures in financial statements, but simplifies and codifies
related guidance within U.S. GAAP.
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the highest level to
fair value based on an entitys own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those
years. SFAS No. 157 requires adoption prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in
which this statement is initially applied, with the exception of certain financial instruments, in
which adoption is applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this
statement is initially applied. The company currently is evaluating the impact of this recently
issued standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
The company utilizes the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) and other deferred compensation
plans to provide equity awards to its key employees. The 2005 Plan, approved by the companys
shareholders on April 25, 2005, provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted
and unrestricted shares and options to buy common shares up to an amount equal to 4,000,000 common
shares, of which no more than 2,000,000 can be settled as full-value awards. After the 2,000,000
limit has been reached, full-value awards are counted in a 3-to-1 ratio against the 4,000,000
limit. Options become exercisable 50% one year after date of grant, 75% after two years, 100%
after three years and expire up to 10 years after grant. In addition, the 2005 Plan provides each
nonemployee director of the company an automatic annual grant of restricted stock units worth
approximately $0.1 million based on the fair
market value of the companys common shares on the date of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
These restricted stock units vest one year after the grant date.

The fair value of share-based payment awards are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. There were 213,200 stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
weighted-average assumptions used to value the options granted during the first quarter of 2007
were as follows:

Cash received from option exercises and purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was
$9.4 million. The company realized a reduction in its income tax payable of $2.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 relating to the exercise of nonqualified stock options. For
accounting purposes, these tax benefits were realized as increases in paid-in capital included in
the common shares caption in shareholders equity (see Note 14).
As of March 31, 2007, there was $23.4 million of total before-tax unrecognized compensation cost
related to nonvested stock-based awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The company is using previously purchased treasury shares
for all net shares issued for option exercises, long-term incentive plans and restricted stock
awards.
Under the companys long-term incentive program, dollar-based target awards are determined by the
organization and compensation committee of the board of directors for three-year performance
periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the award for the 2004-2006 performance
period was paid resulting in the issuance of 178,541 shares in lieu of a cash distribution. In
addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, the award for the 2003-2005 performance
period was paid in cash.
The following table identifies the number of shares expected to be issued based on current
performance measures and the stock price on the date of grant for the performance shares granted:

4. Acquisitions
On February 7, 2007, the company completed the acquisition of the entire metalworking additives
product line of Lockhart Chemical Company (Lockhart), a private company with headquarters in
Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, for approximately $15.7 million. Annualized revenues of these products are
approximately $20.0 million. The company began including the results of the acquired products in
the Lubrizol Additives segment in February 2007. The purchase price for this acquisition included
goodwill of $8.1 million.
5. Divestitures
In May 2006, the company sold the food ingredients and industrial specialties business (FIIS) and
the active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediate compounds business (A&I), both of which were
included in the Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment. At March 31, 2006, these businesses were
classified as held-for-sale pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as definitive sales
agreements were signed during March 2006. The held-for-sale classification triggered an impairment
test, which resulted in an impairment charge of $60.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 2006
to reflect the FIIS business at its fair value. The results of these divested businesses have been
reflected in the discontinued operations - net of tax line item in the companys consolidated
statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
In February 2006, the company sold certain assets and liabilities of its Telene® resins
business (Telene), which was included in the Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment. The results of
Telene have been reflected in the

The major components of the companys identifiable intangible assets are customer lists,
technology, trademarks, patents, land-use rights and non-compete agreements. Definite-lived
intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, which range between 3 and 40 years. The
companys indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certain trademarks that are tested for
impairment each year as of October 1 or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.
Indefinite-lived trademarks are assessed for impairment separately from goodwill.
The following table shows the components of identifiable intangible assets.

Annual intangible amortization expense for the next five years will approximate $23.5 million in

8. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in tax returns. Under FIN No. 48, the economic benefit associated
with a tax position only will be recognized if it is more likely than not that a tax position
ultimately will be sustained. After this threshold is met, a tax position is reported at the
largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be ultimately sustained. FIN No. 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods and disclosure. Prior to January 1, 2007, the company regularly assessed positions with
regard to tax exposures and recorded liabilities for uncertain income tax positions in accordance
with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
As a result of adopting FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, the company recognized an $8.9 million
reduction to retained earnings and a $5.4 million increase to goodwill for pre-acquisition income
tax liabilities of Noveon International, Inc. (Noveon International). As of January 1, 2007, after
recording this FIN No. 48 adoption impact, the company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $57.8
million, of which $38.8 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
The company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of the income tax provision. As of January 1, 2007, the date of adoption, the company
had accrued interest of $7.1 million. Penalties were immaterial to the companys consolidated
financial statements.
The company operates in numerous taxing jurisdictions and is subject to regular examinations by
various U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. The companys income tax positions are
based on research and interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the
jurisdictions in which the company does business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of
laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in
tax laws between those jurisdictions and difficulty in estimating the final resolution of complex
tax audit matters, the companys estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual
payments or assessments.
-12-
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2007
(Unaudited)
It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $8.0 million within
12 months of the January 1, 2007 adoption date primarily as a result of the settlement of foreign
audits and the closure of foreign statutes of limitations.
With few exceptions, the company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax
examinations for years before 2001 and foreign jurisdiction examinations for years before 2000.
Effective with the adoption of FIN No. 48, the majority of the companys unrecognized tax benefits
are classified as noncurrent liabilities because payment of cash is not expected within one year.
Prior to the adoption of FIN No. 48, the company classified unrecognized tax benefits in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities.

10. Segment Reporting
The company is organized into two operating and reporting segments. The company changed the names
of its two reporting segments in 2007. The new segment names are Lubrizol Additives, previously
known as Lubricant Additives, and Lubrizol Advanced Materials, previously known as Specialty
Chemicals. The change was in name only as the management structure of the segments and product
lines included in each segment remained unchanged. The Lubrizol Additives segment represented 65%
of the companys consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and is comprised
of the companys businesses in engine additives and driveline and industrial oil additives. The
Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment represented 35% of the companys consolidated revenues for
three months ended March 31, 2007 and is comprised of the businesses in engineered polymers,
performance coatings and Noveon consumer specialties.
Lubrizol Additives consists of two product lines: engine additives and driveline and industrial
oil additives. Engine additives is comprised of additives for lubricating engine oils, such as
for gasoline, diesel, marine and stationary gas engines and additive components, additives for
fuel products and refinery and oil field chemicals, as well as outsourcing strategies for supply
chain and knowledge center management. In addition, this product line sells additive components
and viscosity improvers within its lubricant and fuel additives product areas. Driveline and
industrial oil additives is comprised of additives for driveline oils, such as automatic
transmission fluids, gear oils and tractor lubricants and industrial oil additives, such as
additives for hydraulic, grease and metalworking
fluids, as well as compressor lubricants. Lubrizol Additives product lines generally are produced
in company-owned shared manufacturing facilities and largely sold to a common customer base.

The Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment consists of engineered polymers, performance coatings and
Noveon consumer specialties product lines. The engineered polymers product line is characterized
by products such as TempRite® engineered polymers and Estane® engineered
polymers. Engineered polymers products are sold to a diverse customer base comprised of major
manufacturers in the construction, automotive, telecommunications, electronics and recreation
industries. The performance coatings product line includes high-performance polymers and
additives for specialty paper, graphic arts, paint and textile coatings applications. The Noveon
consumer specialties product line is characterized by global production of acrylic thickeners,
specialty monomers, film formers, fixatives, emollients, silicones, surfactants, botanicals and
process chemicals. The company markets products in the Noveon consumer specialties product line
to the personal care and pharmaceutical primary end-use industries. The Noveon consumer
specialties products are sold to customers worldwide and these customers include major
manufacturers of cosmetics, personal care products, water soluble polymers and household products.
During the first quarter of 2006, the company completed the sale of the Telene business and
entered into sales agreements to divest the FIIS and A&I businesses, which were subsequently sold
during the second quarter of 2006. The company recorded the results of operations of these
businesses either divested or classified as held-for-sale in the
discontinued operations - net of
tax line item in the consolidated statements of income for 2006.
The company primarily evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment operating
income, defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines included within each
segment, as well as projected future returns. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated
income from continuing operations before income taxes by deducting corporate expenses and income
that are not attributed to the operating segments, restructuring and impairment (credits) charges
and net interest expense.
The following table presents a summary of the results of the companys reportable segments:

Expected
employer contributions worldwide for pension benefits in 2007
approximate $59.5 million
for the qualified plans, of which $22.4 million was contributed during the three months ended March
31, 2007. The portion of the 2007 total expected contributions attributable to the U.S. qualified
pension plans is $34.5 million, of which $19.1 million was contributed during the three months
ended March 31, 2007. The non-qualified pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans are
unfunded. As a result, the 2007 expected contributions to these plans of $1.8 million and $4.8
million, respectively, represent actuarial estimates of future assumed payments based on historic
retirement and payment patterns as well as medical trend rates and historical claim information, as
appropriate. The settlement loss in 2006 resulted from a distribution from a non-qualified pension
plan.
12. Restructuring and Impairment (Credits) Charges
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the company recorded aggregate restructuring
and impairment (credits) charges of ($2.4) million and $1.8 million, respectively. The net
restructuring and impairment credit during the first quarter of 2007 primarily related to a pretax
gain and restructuring credit of $2.8 million recorded on the sale of the manufacturing facility
located in Bromborough, U.K. in January 2007 for net cash proceeds of $5.9 million.
The following table shows the reconciliation of the restructuring liability since January 1, 2007

15. Contingencies
The company has numerous purchase commitments for materials, supplies and energy in the ordinary
course of business. The company also has numerous sales commitments for product supply contracts
in the ordinary course of business.
General
There are pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings against the company
or its subsidiaries, all arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial,
product liability and environmental matters, which seek remedies or damages. The company believes
that any liability that finally may be determined with respect to commercial and product liability
claims should not have a material adverse effect on the companys consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, the company also is involved in legal
proceedings as a plaintiff involving contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters.
Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized.

Environmental
The companys environmental engineers and consultants review and monitor environmental issues at
operating facilities and, where appropriate, the company initiates corrective and/or preventive
environmental projects to ensure environmental compliance and safe and lawful activities at its
current operations. The company also conducts compliance and management systems audits.
The company and its subsidiaries are generators of both hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, the
treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of which are regulated by various laws and
governmental regulations. These laws and regulations generally impose liability for costs to
investigate and remediate contamination without regard to fault and, under certain circumstances,
liability may be joint and several resulting in one party being held responsible for the entire
obligation. Liability also may include damages to natural resources. Although the company
believes past operations were in substantial compliance with the then-applicable regulations,
either the company or the predecessor of Noveon International, the Performance Materials Segment of
Goodrich Corporation (Goodrich), has been designated under a countrys laws and/or regulations as a
potentially responsible party (PRP) in connection with several sites including both third party
sites and/or current operating facilities.
The company participates in the remediation process for onsite and third party waste management
sites at which the company has been identified as a PRP. This process includes investigation,
remedial action selection and implementation, as well as discussions and negotiations with other
parties, which primarily include PRPs, past owners and operators and governmental agencies. The
estimates of environmental liabilities are based on the results of this process. Inherent
uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental
regulations and legal standards regarding liability, remediation standards and evolving
technologies for managing investigations and remediation. The company revises its estimates
accordingly as events in this process occur and additional information is obtained.
The companys environmental reserves, measured on an undiscounted basis, totaled $13.4 million at
March 31, 2007 and $14.2 million at December 31, 2006. Of these amounts, $4.0 million and $4.5
million were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. Goodrich provided Noveon International with an indemnity for
various environmental liabilities. The company estimates Goodrichs share of such currently
identified liabilities under the indemnity, which extends through February 2011, to be
approximately $3.6 million of which $0.6 million of the recovery is included in receivables and
$3.0 million is included in other assets. There are specific environmental contingencies for
company-owned sites for which third parties such as past owners and/or operators are the named PRPs
and also for which the company is indemnified by Goodrich. Goodrich currently is indemnifying
Noveon International for several environmental remediation projects. Goodrichs share of all of
these liabilities may increase to the extent such third parties fail to honor their obligations
through February 2011.
The company believes that its environmental accruals are adequate based on currently available
information. The company believes that it is reasonably possible that $20.5 million in additional
costs may be incurred at certain locations beyond the amounts accrued as a result of new
information, newly discovered conditions, changes in remediation standards or technologies or a
change in the law. Additionally, as the indemnification from Goodrich extends through February
2011, changes in assumptions regarding when costs will be incurred may result in additional
expenses to the company. Additional costs in excess of $20.5 million cannot currently be
estimated.

GUARANTEES
On May 1, 2006, the company sold the FIIS business to SPM Group Holdings, LLC, now known as Emerald
Performance Materials, LLC (Emerald). As a result of the sale, Emerald became responsible for
contracts relating to FIIS, including a Toluene Sale and Purchase Agreement between SK Corporation
(SK) and the company dated December 6, 2005 (the Toluene Agreement). Although Emerald has assumed
the obligations under the Toluene Agreement, the company has guaranteed to SK the timely
performance of Emeralds payment obligations under the Toluene Agreement for purchases thereunder.
The term of the Toluene Agreement extends to January 31, 2008.
If Emerald does not satisfy its obligations under the Toluene Agreement, SK shall notify the
company and use commercially reasonable efforts to collect what is due from Emerald. If SK is
unable to collect from Emerald, then SK may make a demand on the company for payment of the
outstanding obligations. The guarantee is revocable by the company upon 60 days prior written
notice.
Because of the guarantees existing revocation clause, the company estimates that the maximum
liability under the guarantee would be approximately $15.2 million, representing the estimated
liability for two shipments to Emerald. However, the company believes that it is highly unlikely
that an event would occur requiring the company to pay any monies pursuant to the guarantee.
Accordingly, no liability has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at
March 31, 2007.
INDEMNIFICATIONS
In connection with the sale of the FIIS business, the company has provided indemnifications to
Emerald with respect to the business sold. These indemnifications have been associated with the
price and quantity of raw material purchases, permit costs, costs incurred due to the inability to
obtain permits and environmental matters. In each of these circumstances, payment by the company
is dependent on Emerald filing a claim. In addition, the companys obligations under these
agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount. It is not possible to predict the
maximum potential amount of future payments under certain of these agreements due to the
conditional nature of the companys obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in
each particular agreement. The company believes that if it were to incur a loss in any of these
matters, such loss would not have a material effect on the companys business, financial condition
or results of operations. For those indemnification agreements where a payment by the company is
probable and estimable, a liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2007.
16. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
On October 22, 2007, the company concluded to restate its previously issued financial statements
because of reporting errors relating to five postemployment employee benefit plans in three foreign
countries. Accordingly, the company has restated its previously issued financial statements
included in its most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K/A for
the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result, the company also
has restated the accompanying interim financial statements for the
periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
The impact of the restatement decreased both income from continuing operations and net income for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 by $0.3 million or less than one-half percent from amounts
previously reported. The impact of the restatement decreased income from continuing operations
and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by $0.6 million or 1.3% and 4.1%,
respectively, from amounts previously reported. The restatement had no effect on the companys
previously reported revenues or net cash flows. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased
shareholders equity as of March 31, 2007 by $24.9 million or 0.6% of total liabilities and
shareholders equity and 1.4% of total shareholders equity. The cumulative effect of the errors
decreased
shareholders equity as of December 31, 2006 by $24.3 million or 0.6% of total liabilities and
shareholders equity and 1.4% of total shareholders equity.

The errors primarily arose in three different postemployment employee benefit plans at a wholly
owned subsidiary and in postemployment employee benefit plans at two of the companys consolidated
joint ventures. Four of these postemployment employee benefit plans had been accounted for
inappropriately on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis as required by U.S. GAAP, while the
accrual recorded in the financial statements for the fifth plan was not calculated in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. The cumulative effect of the errors resulted in an understatement of
postemployment employee benefit plan liabilities of $39.7 million and $38.9 million at March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The following tables show the impact of the restatement:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(In Millions of Dollars except Share and Per Share Data)
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should
be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A. Historical results and percentage
relationships set forth in the consolidated financial statements, including trends that might
appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors,
including those described under the section Cautionary Statements for Safe Harbor Purposes
included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A.
RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On October 22, 2007, we concluded to restate our previously issued financial statements because of
reporting errors relating to five postemployment employee benefit plans in three foreign countries.
Accordingly, we are filing this amendment to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 2007. The effects of the restatement are reflected in this Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and we have not modified
or updated disclosures except as required to reflect the effects of
the restatement. See the Explanatory Note included in the front
section of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A and Note 16 - Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Notes to Financial Statements
for more information regarding the restatement and changes to previously issued financial
statements.
The impact of the restatement decreased both income from continuing operations and net income for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 by $0.3 million or less than one-half percent from amounts
previously reported. The impact of the restatement decreased income from continuing operations
and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 by $0.6 million or 1.3% and 4.1%,
respectively, from amounts previously reported. The restatement had no effect on our previously
reported revenues or net cash flows. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased shareholders
equity as of March 31, 2007 by $24.9 million or 0.6% of total liabilities and shareholders equity
and 1.4% of total shareholders equity. The cumulative effect of the errors decreased
shareholders equity as of December 31, 2006 by $24.3 million or 0.6% of total liabilities and
shareholders equity and 1.4% of total shareholders equity.
The errors primarily arose in three different postemployment employee benefit plans at a wholly
owned subsidiary and in postemployment employee benefit plans at two of our consolidated joint
ventures. Four of these postemployment employee benefit plans had been accounted for
inappropriately on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis as required by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), while the accrual recorded in the financial statements for the
fifth plan was not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The cumulative effect of the errors
resulted in an understatement of postemployment employee benefit plan liabilities of $39.7 million
and $38.9 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

OVERVIEW
We are an innovative specialty chemical company that produces and supplies technologies that
improve the quality and performance of our customers products in the global transportation,
industrial and consumer markets. Our business is founded on technological leadership. Innovation
provides opportunities for us in growth markets as well as advantages over our competitors. From a
base of approximately 1,600 patents, we use our product development and formulation expertise to
sustain our leading market positions and fuel our future growth. We create additives, ingredients,
resins and compounds that enhance the performance, quality and value of our customers products,
while minimizing their environmental impact. Our products are used in a broad range of
applications, and are sold into stable markets such as those for engine oils, specialty driveline
lubricants and metalworking fluids, as well as higher-growth markets such as personal care and
over-the-counter pharmaceutical products and performance coatings and inks. Our engineered
polymers products also are used in a variety of industries, including the construction, sporting
goods, medical products and automotive industries. We are an industry leader in many of the
markets in which our product lines compete.
We are geographically diverse, with an extensive global manufacturing, supply chain, technical and
commercial infrastructure. We operate facilities in 29 countries, including production facilities
in 20 countries and laboratories in 13 countries, in key regions around the world through the
efforts of approximately 6,800 employees. We sell our products in more than 100 countries and
believe that our customers value our ability to provide customized, high-quality, cost-effective
performance formulations and solutions worldwide. We also believe that our customers value our
global supply chain capabilities.
On February 7, 2007, we completed the acquisition of the entire metalworking additives product line
of Lockhart Chemical Company (Lockhart), a private company with headquarters in Gibsonia,
Pennsylvania. Annualized revenues of these products are approximately $20.0 million.
In May 2006, we sold the food ingredients and industrial specialties business (FIIS) and the active
pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediate compounds business (A&I), both of which were included
in the Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment. At March 31, 2006, these businesses were classified as
held-for-sale pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as definitive sales
agreements were signed during March 2006. The held-for-sale classification triggered an impairment
test, which resulted in an impairment charge of $60.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 2006
to reflect the FIIS business at its fair value. We have reflected the results of these divested
businesses in the discontinued operations - net of tax line item in the consolidated statement of
income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
In February 2006, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our Telene® resins business
(Telene), which was included in the Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment. We have reflected the
results of Telene in the discontinued operations - net of tax line item in the consolidated
statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Income from continuing operations increased $26.0 million to $71.3 million in the first quarter of
2007 compared to $45.3 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in earnings from
continuing operations primarily was due to improvements in the combination of price and product mix
in the Lubrizol Additives segment as we continue to recover lost margin attributable to past raw
material cost increases in this segment. Although we have yet to fully recover past raw material
cost increases, we believe we are returning to levels of earnings sufficient to support our
operations and growth initiatives. In addition, earnings from continuing operations were impacted
favorably by lower net interest costs; an increase in other income primarily as a result of a gain
on the sale of land recorded in the
-28-
first quarter of 2007; a restructuring credit associated with
the sale of the manufacturing facility located in Bromborough, U.K. in the first quarter of 2007;
and a favorable currency impact; offset by higher raw material costs, increased manufacturing costs
and higher selling, technology, administrative and research (STAR) expenses.
Net loss of $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included a $60.7 million loss
from discontinued operations net of tax, which primarily related to a $60.6 million after-tax
impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2006 to reflect the FIIS business at its fair
value.

The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006 was due to a 7% improvement in the combination of price and product mix and a 2% favorable
currency impact. Volume was level in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year as
volume gains in Latin America and Europe were offset by declines in North America and Asia-Pacific
/ Middle East.

*Calculation not meaningful
The increase in cost of sales in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006
primarily was due to higher average raw material cost and higher manufacturing expenses. Average
raw material cost increased 7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006. Total manufacturing expenses increased 10% in the first quarter of 2007 compared
to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to unfavorable manufacturing cost absorption as we lowered
production to reduce inventory levels from the prior year end and an unfavorable currency impact,
partially offset by lower utility costs. On a per-unit-sold basis, manufacturing costs increased
10% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Gross profit (net sales less cost of sales) increased $33.3 million, or 14%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The increase primarily was due to
improvement in the combination of price and product mix in the Lubrizol Additives segment and a
favorable currency impact offset by higher average unit raw material cost and higher manufacturing
expenses. Our gross profit percentage (gross profit divided by net sales) increased to 25.8% in
the first quarter of 2007 compared to 24.8% in the same quarter last year. The gross profit
percentage increase primarily occurred in the Lubrizol Additives segment due to the favorable
combination of price and product mix attributable to price increases implemented during 2006.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $9.0 million, or 10%, in the first quarter of 2007
compared with the same period in 2006. The increase during the quarter primarily was due to higher
performance-based incentive compensation and an increase in salaries and benefits primarily due to
the addition of resources to support our growth
in the Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment. The first quarter of 2006 included a $2.8 million
pension settlement charge related to a non-qualified pension plan distribution.
Research, testing and development expenses increased $2.1 million, or 4%, for the first quarter of
2007 compared to the same quarter in the prior year primarily due to an unfavorable currency
impact.
In the first quarter of 2007, we recorded aggregate restructuring and impairment credits of $2.4
million primarily related to a $2.8 million pretax gain and restructuring credit recorded on the
sale of the manufacturing facility located in the United Kingdom. Restructuring and impairment
charges of $1.8 million were recorded during the first quarter of 2006, which were primarily
associated with the U.K. plant closure.
The components of restructuring and impairment credits and charges are detailed as follows:

The
increase in other income (expense) - net for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to
the same period in 2006 primarily was due to a $5.0 million gain on the sale of land recorded in
the first quarter of 2007.
The
decrease in interest expense - net for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior-year
quarter primarily was attributable to an increase in interest income of $4.9 million as a result of
our increased cash and short-term investments from the divestiture proceeds received in May 2006.
- 31 -
Our effective tax rate of 34.8% in the first quarter of 2007 was comparable to our effective tax
rate of 35.0% in the same period in 2006.
Primarily as a result of the above factors, net income (loss) per diluted share was $1.02 and
($0.23) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net income per diluted
share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included a loss from discontinued operations per
diluted share of $0.88. The loss from discontinued operations per diluted share includes a $0.01
per diluted share of operating income, an $0.88 per diluted share non-cash impairment charge and a
$0.01 per diluted share loss on the sale of the Telene business.
SEGMENT ANALYSIS
We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment operating income, defined
as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product lines included within each segment, as well
as projected future returns. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income from
continuing operations before income taxes by deducting corporate expenses and income that are not
attributable to the operating segments, restructuring and impairment (credits) charges and net
interest expense.
The proportion of consolidated revenues and segment operating income attributed to each segment was
as follows:

Lubrizol Additives Segment
Revenues increased 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in
2006. The increase primarily was due to a 9% improvement in the combination of price and product
mix and a 3% favorable currency impact, slightly offset by a 1% decrease in volume.
Volume patterns vary in different geographic zones. The following table shows our volume by

Volume in the first quarter of 2007 was strong and, sequentially, increased 6% over the fourth
quarter of 2006, which was influenced by unfavorable customer order patterns. Volume levels for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 indicated a return to normal customer order patterns.
However, as compared to the very strong first quarter of 2006, volume declined by 1%. The 2006
first quarter results significantly were influenced by inventory replenishment of finished
lubricants following the industry supply disruptions experienced in the fourth quarter of 2005 in
the aftermath of the hurricanes that hit the U.S. Gulf Coast. During the first quarter of 2007,
the Asia- Pacific / Middle East region was impacted negatively compared to the strong first quarter
in 2006, while volume
- 33 -
growth in the Latin America region primarily was due to business gains at
some of our major international customers compared to the prior-year
quarter results.
Segment gross profit increased 20% in the first quarter of 2007 compared with the prior-year
quarter as we continued to recover margin lost in prior periods. The Lubrizol Additives segment
implemented a series of price increases in 2005 and 2006 in response to continued raw material and
manufacturing cost increases. The effective dates of the selling price increases varied by
geographic sales zone. As a result, the gross profit increase primarily was due to an improvement
in the combination of price and product mix partially offset by a 9% increase in average raw
material cost for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.
Manufacturing costs on a per-unit-sold basis increased 12% for the three-month comparative period
primarily due to higher unfavorable manufacturing cost absorption as we lowered production to
reduce inventory levels from the prior year end. Currency also had an unfavorable impact on
manufacturing costs in the first quarter of 2007.
The gross profit percentage increased to 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from
22.3% in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit percentage primarily related to the
improvement in the combination of price and product mix.
STAR expenses increased 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared with the prior-year
period. This increase primarily was due to higher selling and administrative expenses of $3.7
million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior-year period. The higher selling and
administrative costs primarily resulted from increased performance-based incentive compensation and
increased headcount to support our organic growth initiatives. Technical expense increased 4% or
$1.5 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily
due to the impact of unfavorable currency.
Other income includes a $5.0 million gain on the sale of land recorded in the first quarter of
2007.
Segment operating income of $100.9 million increased 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 due to the factors discussed above.
lubrizol advanced materials Segment
Revenues for the Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment increased 7% for the three months ended March
31, 2007 compared with the same period last year. The increase for the three-month period was due
to a 3% improvement in the combination of price and product mix, a 2% increase in volume and a 2%
favorable currency impact.

In the first quarter of 2007, we made a minor change to improve the consistency of our reporting of
shipment volumes. Volume in our performance coatings product line, and to a much lesser extent,
our Noveon consumer specialties product line were reported previously on a dry basis, or excluding
the carrier fluid that is shipped with the base performance material. We are now reporting all
product lines on an as-shipped basis, including carrier fluid that is blended with the base
material.
The decrease in volume in North America occurred primarily in our performance coatings product line
and partially was offset by a volume increase in our engineered polymers product line. Volume
decreased in our performance coatings product line for the three months ended March 31, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to the continued deterioration of the textiles
industry in North America. Volume increased in our engineered polymers product line in North
America for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to
increased customer demand in our TempRite® engineered polymers business (TempRite).
TempRite benefited from strong sales into industrial and fire sprinkler applications, which offset
a decline in plumbing market sales. Volume slightly decreased in our Noveon consumer specialties
product line primarily due to lower customer demand in our surfactants business mostly offset by
tolling sales to the buyer of our FIIS business.
All product lines showed volume increases in Europe, Asia-Pacific / Middle East and Latin America
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The volume increase
in our engineered polymers product line was due to increased customer demand in both our TempRite
business in the three regions mentioned above and our Estane® engineered polymers
(Estane) in Europe and Asia-Pacific / Middle East. The increase in our Noveon consumer specialties
product line was due to increased customer demand in both the personal care and pharmaceutical
markets. Our performance coatings product line volume increase was due to higher customer demand
in the textiles and paint and coatings markets.
Segment gross profit increased $5.9 million, or 6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006. This increase primarily was the result of higher revenues due
to an improvement in the
combination of price and product mix and an increase in volume, partially offset by higher average
raw material and manufacturing costs. Average raw material cost increased 4% for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Manufacturing costs increased for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to higher
volume, an unfavorable currency impact and increased headcount. Manufacturing costs on a
per-unit-sold basis increased 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same
period in 2006.
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for this segment was 28.9% for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 compared to 29.2% in the corresponding prior-year period. This decrease was due to
higher average raw material cost partially offset by an improvement in the combination of price and
product mix.
- 35 -
STAR expenses increased $5.6 million, or 10%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared
with the same period in 2006. This increase was due to higher performance-based incentive
compensation, increased headcount to support our growth strategy and an unfavorable currency
impact.
Segment operating income increased $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared
to the same period in 2006 due to the factors discussed above.

Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 primarily related to an increase in net income and an
improvement in working capital levels. Specifically, we focused our efforts to reduce inventory
levels and our accounts payable improved due to the timing of raw material purchases and cash
disbursements. In addition, we improved the timeliness of our collections, which offset our
increase in accounts receivable associated with higher revenues.
We manage our levels of inventories and accounts receivable on the basis of average days sales in
inventory and average days sales in receivables. We establish our target for days sales in
inventory with the goal of minimizing our investment in inventories while at the same time ensuring
adequate supply for our customers. We establish our target for accounts receivable by taking into
consideration the weighted average of our various terms of trade for each segment.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities increased $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared
to the same period in 2006. The increase primarily related to the acquisition of Lockhart in the
first quarter of 2007 for $15.7 million. Our capital expenditures for the three months ended March
31, 2007 were $31.9 million compared to $30.3 million for the same period in 2006. In 2007, we
estimate annual capital expenditures will be approximately $175.0 million to $180.0 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities increased $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Cash used for financing activities of $55.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily consisted of the
repayment of 25.0 million
against our 250.0 million revolving credit agreement,
- 36 -
the repurchase of common shares and the payment of dividends, offset by proceeds from the exercise
of stock options. This compares to $33.8 million used for financing activities in the same period
in 2006, which primarily consisted of the repayment of long-term debt and payment of dividends,
partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
On April 23, 2007, our board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program that, combined
with our existing repurchase program, permits us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common
shares through 2009. We would expect that the timing of future repurchases will depend on market
conditions and these will be balanced with other strategic uses of our cash without compromising
our goals to further strengthen our balance sheet.
On April 23, 2007, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share
payable June 8, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2007. The
dividend represents an increase of 15%.
Capitalization, Liquidity and Credit Facilities
At March 31, 2007, our total debt outstanding of $1,513.2 million consisted of 68% fixed-rate debt
and 32% variable-rate debt, including $400.0 million of fixed-rate debt that effectively has been
swapped to a variable rate. Our weighted-average interest rate as of March 31, 2007 was
approximately 5.9%.
Our net debt to capitalization ratio at March 31, 2007 was 34.6%. Net debt represents total
short-term and long-term debt, excluding original issue discounts and unrealized gains and losses
on derivative instruments designated as fair-value hedges of fixed-rate debt, reduced by cash and
short-term investments. Capitalization is calculated as shareholders equity plus net debt. Total
debt as a percent of capitalization was 46.3% at March 31, 2007.
Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.1 at March 31, 2007.
Our $350.0 million revolving U.S. credit facility, which matures in September 2011, allows us to
borrow at variable rates based upon the U.S. prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified credit spread.
As of March 31, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.
At March 31, 2007, two of our wholly owned, foreign subsidiaries had a 250.0 million revolving
credit facility that matures in September 2010. This credit agreement permits these foreign
subsidiaries to borrow at variable rates based on EURIBOR plus a specified credit spread. At March
31, 2007, we had outstanding borrowings of 60.0 million under this agreement.
Our cash
and short term investments balance of $582.8 million at March 31, 2007 will be used to fund ongoing operations, pay
down debt, pursue acquisitions and repurchase shares. Given the redemption premium on our
long-term debt, it is unlikely that we will reduce debt significantly before our next scheduled
maturity in late 2008.
Contractual Cash Obligations
Our contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2006 are contained in our annual report on Form
10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2007,
our non-cancelable purchase commitments decreased approximately $31.2 million to $146.8 million.
Other than the decrease in non-cancelable purchase commitments, we do not believe there have been
any significant changes since December 31, 2006 in our contractual cash obligations. The
non-cancelable purchase commitments by period at March 31, 2007 were $40.7 million, $89.8 million, $12.0 million and $4.3 million for the 2007, 2008-2009,
2010-2011 and 2012 and later periods, respectively.
-37-
Our debt level will require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow to make interest and
principal payments, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for acquisitions or other
purposes. Nevertheless, we believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to cover our
debt repayments, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases and other obligations and that
we have untapped borrowing capacity that can provide us with additional financial resources. We
currently have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) under which $359.8 million of debt securities, preferred shares or common shares may be
issued. As of March 31, 2007, we also maintained cash and short-term investment balances of $582.8
million and had $350.0 million available under our revolving U.S. credit facility and another
190.0 million available under our euro revolving credit facility. In addition, as of March 31,
2007, we had $48.6 million of contingent obligations under standby letters of credit issued in the
ordinary course of business to financial institutions, customers and insurance companies to secure
short-term support for a variety of commercial transactions, insurance and benefit programs.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns. Under FIN No. 48, the
economic benefit associated with a tax position only will be recognized if it is more likely than
not that a tax position ultimately will be sustained. After this threshold is met, a tax position
is reported at the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be ultimately
sustained. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. Prior to January 1, 2007, we regularly
assessed positions with regard to tax exposures and recorded liabilities for uncertain income tax
positions in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
As a result of adopting FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, we recognized an $8.9 million reduction to
retained earnings and a $5.4 million increase to goodwill for pre-acquisition income tax
liabilities of Noveon International, Inc. (Noveon International). As of January 1, 2007, after
recording this FIN No. 48 adoption impact, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $57.8 million,
of which $38.8 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
the income tax provision. As of January 1, 2007, the date of adoption, we had accrued interest of
$7.1 million. Penalties were immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
We operate in numerous taxing jurisdictions and are subject to regular examinations by various U.S.
federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax positions are based on research and
interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which we do
business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction,
the differences and interplay in tax laws between those jurisdictions and difficulty in estimating
the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, our estimates of income tax liabilities may
differ from actual payments or assessments.
It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $8.0 million within
12 months of the January 1, 2007 adoption date primarily as a result of the settlement of foreign
audits and the closure of foreign statutes of limitations.
With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations for
years before 2001 and foreign jurisdiction examinations for years before 2000.
-38-
Effective with the adoption of FIN No. 48, the majority of the companys unrecognized tax benefits
are classified as noncurrent liabilities because payment of cash is not expected within one year.
Prior to the adoption of FIN No. 48, the company classified unrecognized tax benefits in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. This statement permits entities to make an irrevocable election to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The
fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and must be applied to entire
instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the entity elects the fair value
option are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins
on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No.
157, Fair Value Measurements. Entities are not permitted to apply this statement retrospectively
to the fiscal years preceding the effective date unless the entity chooses early adoption. We
currently are evaluating the impact of this recently issued standard on our consolidated financial
statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair
value measures in financial statements, but simplifies and codifies related guidance within U.S.
GAAP. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy using observable market data as the highest
level and an entitys own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. SFAS No. 157 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. SFAS
No. 157 requires adoption prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this
statement is initially applied, with the exception of certain financial instruments in which
adoption is applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement
is initially applied. We currently are evaluating the impact of this recently issued standard on
our consolidated financial statements.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS FOR SAFE HARBOR PURPOSES
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. As a general matter,
forward-looking statements are those focused upon future plans, objectives or performance as
opposed to historical items and include statements of anticipated events or trends and expectations
and beliefs relating to matters not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject
to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These uncertainties and factors
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by
any forward-looking statements, although we believe our expectations reflected in those
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions. For this purpose, any statements
contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed to be forward-looking
statements.
We believe that the following factors, among others, could affect our future performance and cause
our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements made in this quarterly report:
|
|
The cost, availability and quality of raw materials, especially petroleum-based products. |
|
|
Our ability to sustain profitability of our products in a competitive environment. |
|
|
The demand for our products as influenced by factors such as the global economic
environment, longer-term technology developments and the success of our commercial development
programs. |
|
|
The risks of conducting business in foreign countries, including the effects of
fluctuations in currency exchange rates upon our consolidated results and political, social,
economic and regulatory factors. |
-39-
|
|
The extent to which we are successful in expanding our business in new and existing markets
and in identifying, understanding and managing the risks inherent in those markets. |
|
|
The effect of required principal and interest payments on our ability to fund capital
expenditures and acquisitions and to meet operating needs. |
|
|
Our ability to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions for profitable growth and
operating efficiencies. |
|
|
Our success at continuing to develop proprietary technology to meet or exceed new industry
performance standards and individual customer expectations. |
|
|
Our ability to implement a new common information systems platform primarily into our
Lubrizol Advanced Materials segment successfully, including the management of project costs,
its timely completion and realization of its benefits. |
|
|
Our ability to continue to reduce complexities and conversion costs and modify our cost
structure to maintain and enhance our competitiveness. |
|
|
Our success in retaining and growing the business that we have with our largest customers. |
|
|
The cost and availability of energy, especially natural gas and electricity. |
|
|
The effect of interest rate fluctuations on our net interest expense. |
|
|
The risk of transportation or weather-related disruptions to our Lubrizol Additives
production facilities located near the U.S. Gulf Coast. |
|
|
Significant changes in government regulations affecting environmental compliance. |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We operate manufacturing and blending facilities, laboratories and offices around the world and
utilize fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to finance our global operations. As a result, we are
subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political and economic
uncertainties, import and export limitations and market risks related to changes in interest rates
and foreign currency exchange rates. We believe the political and economic risks related to our
foreign operations are mitigated due to the stability of the countries in which our largest foreign
operations are located.
In the normal course of business, we use derivative financial instruments including interest rate
and commodity hedges and forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage our market risks.
Our objective in managing our exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such
changes on our earnings and cash flow. Our objective in managing the exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates is to reduce volatility on our earnings and cash flow associated
with such changes. Our principal currency exposures are the euro, the pound sterling, the Japanese
yen and certain Latin American currencies. Our objective in managing our exposure to changes in
commodity prices is to reduce the volatility on earnings of utility expense. We do not hold
derivatives for trading purposes.
We measure our market risk related to our holdings of financial instruments based on changes in
interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices utilizing a sensitivity
analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in fair value, cash flow and earnings based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase
and decrease) in interest, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We use current market
rates on our debt and derivative portfolios to perform the sensitivity analysis. Certain items
such as lease contracts, insurance contracts and obligations for pension and other postretirement
benefits are not included in the analysis.
Our primary interest rate exposures relate to our cash and short-term investments, fixed-rate and
variable-rate debt and interest rate swaps. The calculation of potential loss in fair value is
based on an immediate change in the net present values of our interest rate-sensitive exposures
resulting from a 10% change in interest rates. The potential loss in cash
-40-
flow and income before tax is based on the change in the net interest income/expense over a
one-year period due to an immediate 10% change in rates. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest
rates would have had a favorable impact and a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would
have had an unfavorable impact on fair values of $39.0 million and $41.1 million at March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates
would have had an unfavorable impact and a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would have
had a favorable impact on cash flows and income before tax of $1.2 million and $2.1 million for
2007 and 2006, respectively, on an annualized basis.
Our primary currency exchange rate exposures are to foreign currency-denominated debt, intercompany
debt, cash and short-term investments and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The
calculation of potential loss in fair value is based on an immediate change in the U.S. dollar
equivalent balances of our currency exposures due to a 10% shift in exchange rates. The potential
loss in cash flow and income before tax is based on the change in cash flow and income before tax
over a one-year period resulting from an immediate 10% change in currency exchange rates. A
hypothetical 10% increase in currency exchange rates would have had an unfavorable impact and a
hypothetical 10% decrease in currency exchange rates would have had a favorable impact on fair
values of $9.7 million and $3.5 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Further, a hypothetical 10% increase in currency exchange rates would have had an unfavorable
impact and a hypothetical 10% decrease in currency exchange rates would have had a favorable impact
on annualized cash flows of $25.0 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and on annualized income
before tax of $4.1 million and $3.7 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Our primary commodity hedge exposures relate to natural gas and electric utility expenses. The
calculation of potential loss in fair value is based on an immediate change in the U.S. dollar
equivalent balances of our commodity exposures due to a 10% shift in the underlying commodity
prices. The potential loss in cash flow and income before tax is based on the change in cash flow
and income before tax over a one-year period resulting from an immediate 10% change in commodity
prices. A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have had a favorable impact and a
hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have had an unfavorable impact on fair values
of $1.1 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and on
annualized cash flows and income before tax of $1.1 million and $1.0 million in 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In
connection with the restatement discussed in the Explanatory
Note to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A and
in Note 16 contained in our Notes to Financial Statements,
we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer. Based on that reevaluation, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting for deficiencies at some international locations due to insufficient requisite technical
knowledge of accounting for postemployment employee benefit plans in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls were not
effective as of March 31, 2007.
As a result of this material weakness, we have taken steps to remediate the internal control
weakness. Specifically, we contracted a third-party benefits consultant to complete a detailed
benefits review at our wholly owned subsidiary that generated the majority of the reporting errors,
made inquiries and conducted reviews of other international locations and enhanced our training on
the application of U.S. GAAP to postemployment employee benefit plans and other matters at our
non-U.S. subsidiaries and joint ventures.
-41-
As previously reported, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have affected
materially, or reasonably likely to
affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the fourth quarter of 2006, we received a notice of violation from the Louisville (KY) Metro
Air-Pollution Control District relating to alleged violations of the air permit held by our
Louisville, Kentucky facility. We currently are in negotiations with the regulator who has offered
to settle this matter for approximately $0.2 million. No enforcement proceeding has been commenced
at this time.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are
no material changes from risk factors as disclosed previously in our
annual report on Form 10-K/A for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
