Quaker Houghton also announced today that Michael F. Barry will retire from his role as CEO on December 31, 2021. He will retain the role of Chairman of the Board following his retirement. The Board of Directors is committed to a strong, orderly process and transition with a comprehensive search that will include internal and external candidates.
Michael F. Barry commented, “The future of Quaker Houghton has never been brighter. This year we will take a step change in our profitability, we will have essentially completed our integration, and we will pay down more debt to reach our targeted leverage ratio. We have the right strategy in place, a strong management team, tremendous people throughout our organization, and above market growth opportunities in our businesses for the foreseeable future – making this the right time to begin the transition of the CEO role to new leadership. With the strong foundation we have in place, I am confident Quaker Houghton is well positioned to make the most of its potential and flourish in new and exciting ways, and I look forward to continuing to work with the company as Board Chair after my retirement as CEO.”
Financial Results
The Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2020 results included net sales of $385.9 million and $1,417.7 million, respectively. Fourth quarter net sales decreased only 1% compared to $391.3 million in the prior year fourth quarter as sales volumes continued to gradually recover from the impact of COVID-19. Full year net sales increased 25% compared to $1,133.5 million in the prior full year. The full year increase was driven by additional net sales due to the Company’s August 1, 2019 combination with Houghton International, Inc. (“Houghton”), which we refer to as “the Combination”, as well as its October 1, 2019 acquisition of the operating divisions of Norman Hay plc (“Norman Hay”). Full year 2020 net sales declined approximately 9% compared to full year 2019 pro forma net sales of approximately $1,562 million, which are adjusted to include the results of Houghton for the full year as well as certain other pro forma adjustments. This year-over-year decline in full year net sales from prior year pro forma net sales was primarily due to lower volumes reflecting the current year impact from COVID-19 on global industrial production, partially offset by additional net sales from Norman Hay.
The Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2020 net income was $48.5 million and $39.7 million, or $2.72 and $2.22 per diluted share, respectively, compared to fourth quarter and full year 2019 net income of $15.2 million and $31.6 million, or $0.86 and $2.08 per diluted share, respectively. Excluding all one-time and other non-core items impacting results in all periods, the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2020 non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.63 and $4.78, respectively, compared to prior year fourth quarter and full year non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.34 and $5.83, respectively. Both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share reflect the increase to the Company’s share count resulting from the closing of the Combination on August 1, 2019, as well as earnings attributed to Houghton for the last five months of 2019 and Norman Hay for the fourth quarter of 2019.
The Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2020 adjusted EBITDA was $65.5 million and $222.0 million respectively, compared to fourth quarter and full year 2019 adjusted EBITDA of $60.6 million and $173.1 million and full year 2019 pro forma adjusted EBITDA of approximately $234 million. The Company’s current quarter adjusted EBITDA increase of 8% was primarily due to the benefits of cost saving synergies realized from the Combination. The decrease in full year adjusted EBITDA compared to full year 2019 pro forma adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower full year net sales compared to prior year pro forma net sales due to the current year impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s volumes, partially offset by the benefits of synergies realized from the Combination and some temporary COVID-19 related cost savings actions taken by the Company. The Company’s strong earnings drove net operating cash flow of approximately $66.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in full year net operating cash flow of $178.4 million increasing 117% compared to $82.4 million in 2019.
Michael F. Barry, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, “We continued to see our sales and volumes increase from the second and third quarter levels with sequential growth in each business segment. We also continued to gain new business in the current quarter with net market share gains of approximately 4%. This is one of the main reasons our fourth quarter revenues were nearly flat with last year despite the continuing impacts of COVID-19. We did begin to experience some raw material increases in the current quarter which we anticipate will continue into the first half of 2021. Overall, our fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA grew 8% from the prior year and benefited from cost synergies of $18 million compared to $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.”
Mr. Barry continued, “The past twelve months have been challenging due to COVID-19 but I am very pleased with our overall performance. Over the past year we continued to service and supply our customers despite difficult economic conditions, we continued to gain share in our markets, we completed a significant part of our integration activities, and we were able to realize $58 million of cost synergies which exceeded our previous estimate of $35 million. We also made additional bolt-on acquisitions which will add approximately $11 million in EBITDA in 2021 and, even with those acquisitions, were able to reduce our net debt by 12% or $94 million. In short, we are delivering on the powerful benefits that we anticipated from our combination with Houghton. As we look forward, we expect some short-term headwinds from higher raw material costs and lower than expected volumes to the automotive market due to the semiconductor shortage. However, we feel positive about 2021 and continue to expect a step change in our profitability with over a 20% increase in our adjusted EBITDA from 2020 as we complete our integration cost synergies, continue to take further share in the marketplace, benefit from a projected gradual rebound in demand, and see the positive impact of our recent acquisitions.”
Fourth Quarter 2020 Consolidated Results
Net sales were $385.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $391.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The net sales decrease of 1% quarter-over-quarter was primarily due to a 2% decrease from price and product mix, partially offset by a 1% positive impact from foreign currency translation. Despite the on-going negative impact of COVID-19, current quarter sales volumes were relatively consistent with the prior year fourth quarter, primarily due to market-share gains in the current quarter and lower demand in Europe in the prior year fourth quarter.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased $5.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher gross margins quarter-over-quarter. The Company’s gross margin in the current quarter was 36.8% compared to 34.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Excluding one-time increases to cost of goods sold (“COGS”) in the prior year, primarily related to an expense associated with selling acquired Norman Hay inventory at its fair value, the Company estimates that its gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2019 would have been 35.3%. The increase in gross margin quarter-over-quarter was primarily due to lower COGS as a result of the Company’s progress on Combination-related logistics, procurement and manufacturing cost savings initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased $3.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 due primarily to the impact of COVID-19 cost savings actions, including lower travel expenses, and the benefits of realized cost savings associated with the Combination, partially offset by the negative impact from foreign currency translation.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company incurred $7.0 million of Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, primarily for professional fees related to Houghton integration and other acquisition-related activities, compared to $11.7 million of similar expenses in the prior year fourth quarter.
The Company initiated a restructuring program during the third quarter of 2019 as part of its global plan to realize cost synergies associated with the Combination. Reductions in headcount and site closures under this program occurred during 2019 and 2020 and are expected to continue into 2021. The Company incurred restructuring and related charges of $2.0 million and $2.6 million under this program during the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $34.7 million compared to $20.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Excluding Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, restructuring and related charges, and other expenses that are not indicative of the Company’s future operating performance, the Company’s current quarter non-GAAP operating income increased 16% to $43.7 million compared to $37.6 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the benefits from cost savings related to the Combination, partially offset by the negative current quarter impact of COVID-19. The Company estimates that it realized approximately $18 million of cost savings related to the Combination during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $5 million of cost savings realized in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Other income, net, was $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $0.1 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The current quarter includes a gain of $18.1 million related to restrictions lapsing on certain cash that was previously designated solely for the settlement of asbestos claims at an inactive subsidiary of the Company. Excluding this gain, the current quarter other expense, net, was driven by higher foreign currency transaction losses compared to the prior year fourth quarter.
Interest expense, net, decreased $4.9 million compared to the prior year fourth quarter primarily due to a decline in interest rates in the current year, as the weighted average interest rate incurred on outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility was less than 2% during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to approximately 3% in the prior year.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019 were an expense of 4.9% compared to a benefit of 18.2%, respectively. Both the Company’s current and prior year fourth quarter effective tax rates were impacted by certain non-recurring items including a deferred tax benefit recorded in each quarter related to two separate intercompany intangible asset transfers, a tax benefit from certain intercompany prepaid royalties and a deferred tax benefit resulting from legal entity integrations in the U.S. Excluding the impact of these tax benefits and all other non-core items in each quarter, described in the Non-GAAP and Pro Forma measures section below, the Company estimates that its effective tax rates for the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019 would have been approximately 30% and 24%, respectively. The higher estimated current quarter tax rate was driven by higher U.S. income taxes resulting from a change in certain deductions and the taxability of foreign earnings in the U.S. in the current year, partially offset by a change in the mix of earnings.
Equity in net income of associated companies increased $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to higher earnings from the Company’s 50% interest in a joint venture in Korea.
Full Year 2020 Consolidated Results
Net sales were $1,417.7 million in 2020 compared to $1,133.5 million in 2019. The net sales increase of 25% year-over-year includes additional net sales from acquisitions, primarily Houghton and Norman Hay, of $408.6 million. Excluding net sales from acquisitions, current year net sales would have declined approximately 11% due to a 9% decrease in sales volumes associated with the negative impacts of COVID-19 on global production levels, as well as a 1% negative impact from foreign currency translation and a 1% decrease from price and product mix.
Gross profit in 2020 increased $121.3 million compared to 2019 primarily due to additional gross profit from Houghton and Norman Hay. The Company’s gross margin in the current year was 36.2% compared to 34.6%. Excluding one-time increases to COGS in both periods, primarily related to expense associated with selling acquired inventory at fair value, the Company estimates that its gross margins for 2020 and 2019 would have been 36.3% and 35.7%, respectively. The increase in gross margin year-over-year was driven primarily by the same synergies described in the fourth quarter results above, partially offset by the impact of lower current year sales volumes on certain fixed manufacturing costs.
SG&A in 2020 increased $96.9 million compared to 2019 due primarily to additional SG&A from Houghton and Norman Hay, partially offset by lower SG&A due to the impact of COVID-19 cost savings actions, including lower travel expenses, and the benefits of realized cost savings associated with the Combination.
During 2020, the Company incurred $29.8 million of Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, primarily for professional fees related to Houghton integration and other acquisition-related activities. Comparatively, the Company incurred $35.5 million of similar expenses in the prior year, primarily due to various professional fees related to integration planning and regulatory approval as well as professional fees associated with closing the Combination.
As noted above, the Company initiated a restructuring program during the third quarter of 2019 as part of its global plan to realize cost synergies associated with the Combination. During 2020, the Company recorded additional restructuring and related charges of $5.5 million under this program. Comparatively, the Company incurred restructuring and related charges of $26.7 million under this program during 2019.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $38.0 million non-cash impairment charge to write down the value of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets associated with the Combination. This non-cash impairment charge is related to certain acquired Houghton trademarks and tradenames and is primarily the result of the current year negative impacts of COVID-19 on their estimated fair values. There were no other impairment charges in 2020 or in the prior year.
Operating income in 2020 was $59.4 million compared to $46.1 million in 2019. Excluding Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses, restructuring and related charges, the non-cash indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge, and other expenses that are not indicative of the Company’s future operating performance, the Company’s non-GAAP operating income increased 10% to $134.0 million in 2020 compared to $121.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to additional operating income from Houghton and Norman Hay and the benefits from cost savings related to the Combination, partially offset by the current year negative impact due to COVID-19. The Company estimates that in 2020 it realized full year cost synergies associated with the Combination of approximately $58 million compared to $7 million in 2019. The Company continues to expect to realize cost synergies of approximately $75 million in 2021 and $80 million in 2022.
Other expense, net, was $5.6 million in 2020 compared to $0.3 million in the prior year. The current year other expense, net, includes a first quarter of 2020 non-cash settlement charge of $22.7 million associated with the termination of the legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan, partially offset by a fourth quarter of 2020 gain of $18.1 million related to the lapsing of restrictions over certain designated funds, as described above. Excluding these items, the Company’s increase in other expense, net, year-over-year, was driven by higher foreign currency transaction losses in the current year.
Interest expense, net, increased $9.6 million in 2020 compared to the prior year primarily due to a full year of borrowings under the Company’s term loans and revolving credit facility to finance the closing of the Combination on August 1, 2019, partially offset by lower overall interest rates in the current year.
The Company’s effective tax rates for 2020 and 2019 were a benefit of 19.5% and an expense of 7.2%, respectively. The Company’s current year effective tax rate was impacted by the tax effect of certain one-time tax benefits and charges, including those mentioned in the fourth quarter results above, as well as other changes in the valuation allowance for foreign tax credits acquired with the Combination, additional charges for uncertain tax positions relating to certain foreign tax audits, and the tax impact of the Company’s termination of its legacy Quaker U.S. pension plan. Comparatively, the prior year effective tax rate was primarily impacted by certain non-deductible costs associated with the Combination. Excluding the impact of all non-core items in each year, described in the Non-GAAP and Pro Forma measures section below, the Company estimates that its effective tax rates for 2020 and 2019 would have been approximately 25% and 22%, respectively. The year-over-year increase is driven primarily by the full year impact of similar factors in the fourth quarter results noted above.
Equity in net income of associated companies increased $2.3 million in 2020 compared to 2019, primarily due to additional earnings from the Company’s 50% interest in a joint venture in Korea, partially offset by lower earnings as compared to the prior year from the Company’s interest in a captive insurance company.
Cash Flow and Liquidity Highlights
The Company had net operating cash flow of approximately $66.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in full year net operating cash flow of $178.4 million compared to $82.4 million in 2019. The $96.0 million or 117% increase in net operating cash flow year-over-year was primarily driven by additional earnings, including a full year of Houghton and Norman Hay, as well as higher cash flow due to changes in working capital.
In December 2020, the Company acquired Coral Chemical (“Coral”), a privately held, U.S.-based provider of metal finishing fluid solutions, for approximately $53 million, net of cash acquired. Coral provides technical expertise and product solutions for pre-treatment, metalworking and wastewater treatment applications to the beverage can and general industrial end markets. Coral had approximately $37 million in net sales, approximately $5 million of net income and approximately $5.5 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2020 (unaudited). The reconciliation of Coral’s net income to adjusted EBITDA for 2020 includes approximately $1 million of depreciation, interest and taxes, partially offset by approximately $0.5 million of certain non-recurring items, including the benefit of COVID-19 related government incentives. The Company expects to realize approximately $3 million in cost synergies related to this acquisition over two years from date of acquisition. In February 2021, the Company acquired certain assets related to tin-plating solutions primarily for the steel end markets for approximately $25 million, which the Company estimates will add full year net sales of approximately $8 million and approximately $4 million of full year adjusted EBITDA going forward.
The Company has no material debt maturities until August 1, 2024. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s total gross debt was $899.1 million and its cash on hand was $181.8 million. The Company’s net debt was $717.3 million, and its net debt divided by its trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA was approximately 3.2 to 1 as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined under its bank agreement, was approximately 2.8 to 1 as of December 31, 2020 compared to a maximum permitted leverage of 4.0 to 1. Based on current projections of future liquidity and leverage, the Company does not expect any compliance issues with its bank covenants.
Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Measures
The information included in this press release includes non-GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, and pro forma net sales, net income (loss) attributable to Quaker Houghton, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company, are indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Non-GAAP results and pro forma information are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company presents non-GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating income plus or minus certain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP operating margin are calculated as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.
Additionally, the Company presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measures. Non-GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies, in each case adjusted, as applicable, for any depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting from the non-core items identified in the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the “two-class share method.” The Company believes that non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis.
As it relates to 2021 projected adjusted EBITDA growth for the Company, including as a result of our recent acquisitions, as well as other forward-looking information described further above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to determine with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unreasonable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, certain non-recurring or non-core items the Company may record that could materially impact net income, as well as the impact of COVID-19. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
The following tables reconcile the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures (unaudited) to their most directly comparable GAAP (unaudited) financial measures (dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts):

| (a) | Houghton combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses include certain legal, financial, and other advisory and consultant costs incurred in connection with due diligence, regulatory approvals, integration planning, and closing the Combination, as well as certain other one-time costs associated with the Company’s acquisition-related activities. The Company recorded $0.8 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the Combination during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, as well as $0.6 million during the both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. There was no similar accelerated depreciation expense in the three months ended December 31, 2020. This accelerated depreciation expense was recorded within both COGS as well as Combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses. The amount of accelerated depreciation expense recorded within COGS was $0.7 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, and $0.5 million during the both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. These amounts recorded within COGS are included in the caption Houghton combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the reconciliation of Operating income to Non-GAAP operating income and GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation common shareholders to Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share. In addition, these accelerated depreciation amounts are recorded within the caption Depreciation and amortization in the reconciliation of Net income attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA; however, it is excluded in the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Non-GAAP net income. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $0.6 million on the sale of certain held-for-sale assets related to the Combination, as well as $0.8 million of income related to an indemnification asset, which are both included in the caption Houghton combination, integration and other acquisition-related expenses in the reconciliations of GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation common shareholders to Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as the reconciliation of Net income attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation to Adjusted EBITDA and to Non-GAAP net income. |
| (b) | Depreciation and amortization for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 includes $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of amortization expense recorded within equity in net income of associated companies in the Statements of Income, attributable to the amortization of the fair value step up for our 50% interest in a joint venture in Korea as a result of required purchase accounting. Comparatively, the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 includes $0.3 million and $0.4 million of similar amortization expense recorded within equity in net income of associated companies. |
| (c) | Interest expense, net – adjusted excludes $2.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, of interest costs the Company incurred to maintain the bank commitment to finance the Combination, prior to executing the Company’s credit facility and closing the Combination on August 1, 2019. |
| (d) | Taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies – adjusted includes the Company’s tax expense adjusted for the impact of any current and deferred income tax expense (benefit), as applicable, of the reconciling items presented in the reconciliation of Net income attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation to adjusted EBITDA, above, determined utilizing the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which these adjustments occurred, subject to deductibility. In addition, this caption also includes the impact of certain specific tax charges and benefits, net, which the Company does not consider core or indicative of future performance, including tax benefits, net, of $10.8 million and $11.2 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and $5.3 million and $5.7 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. |
| (e) | The Company’s calculation of GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share attributable to Quaker Chemical Corporation common shareholders for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was impacted by the 4.3 million share issuance in connection with closing the Combination. As a result, the per diluted share result for each of the four quarters of 2019, as reported on a standalone basis, may not add up to the per diluted share result for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. |

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based these forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, our expectations that we will maintain sufficient liquidity and remain in compliance with the terms of the Company’s credit facility, and statements regarding remediation of our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting on our current expectations about future events. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance, and business, including but not limited to the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions, the impacts on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and any projected global economic rebound or anticipated positive results due to Company actions taken in response to the pandemic, and our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan" or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. A major risk is that demand for the Company's products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers' products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related to downturns in a customer's business and unanticipated customer production shutdowns. Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the primary and secondary impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, which could exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, including the potential for significant increases in raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, customer financial instability, worldwide economic and political disruptions, foreign currency fluctuations, significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by our customers in the steel, automobile, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business will depend on, among other things, the extent and duration of the pandemic, the severity of the disease and the number of people infected with the virus, the continued uncertainty regarding availability, administration and long-term efficacy of a vaccine, or other treatments, including on new strands or mutations of the virus, the longer-term effects on the economy by the pandemic, including the resulting market volatility, and by the measures taken by governmental authorities and other third parties restricting day-to-day life and business operations and the length of time that such measures remain in place, as well as laws and other governmental programs implemented to address the pandemic or assist impacted businesses, such as fiscal stimulus and other legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. Other factors could also adversely affect us, including those related to the Combination and other acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and its operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. All forward-looking statements included in this press release, including expectations about the improvements in business conditions during 2021 and future periods, are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this press release, which may change. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, refer to the Risk Factors section, which appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and in subsequent reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, once filed, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason. This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Regulation G The attached charts include Company information that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Man agement believes that an analysis of this data is meaningful to investors because it provides insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and allows investors to better evaluate the financi al results of the Company. These measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, these measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies . This data should be read in conjunction with the fourth quarter and full year earnings news release, dated February 25, 2021, which has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Fo rm 8 - K. Forward - Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward - looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amen ded, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based thes e f orward - looking statements including statements regarding the potential effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, our expectations that we will maintain su ffi cient liquidity and remain in compliance with the terms of the Company’s credit facility, and statements regarding remediation of our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting on our current expec tat ions about future events. These forward - looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of op era tions, future performance, and business, including but not limited to the potential benefits of the Combination and other acquisitions, the impacts on our business as a result of the COVID - 19 pandemic and any projected global ec onomic rebound or anticipated positive results due to Company actions taken in response to the pandemic, and our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words "may," "could," "sh ould," "would," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan" or similar expressions. These forward - looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements. A major risk is that demand for the Company's products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers' products, which subjects the Compan y t o uncertainties related to downturns in a customer's business and unanticipated customer production shutdowns. Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the primary and secondar y i mpacts of the COVID - 19 pandemic, including actions taken in response to the pandemic by various governments, which could exacerbate some or all of the other risks and uncertainties faced by the Company, includi ng the potential for significant increases in raw material costs, supply chain disruptions, customer financial instability, worldwide economic and political disruptions, foreign currency fluctuations, significant chan ges in applicable tax rates and regulations, future terrorist attacks and other acts of violence. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by our customers in the steel, automobil e, aircraft, industrial equipment, and durable goods industries. The ultimate impact of COVID - 19 on our business will depend on, among other things, the extent and duration of the pandemic, the severity of the diseas e and the number of people infected with the virus, the continued uncertainty regarding availability, administration and long - term efficacy of a vaccine, or other treatments, including on new strands or mutations of the virus, the longer - term effects on the economy by the pandemic, including the resulting market volatility, and by the measures taken by governmental authorities and other third parties restricting day - to - day life and business operations and the length of time that such measures remain in place, as well as laws and other governmental programs implemented to address the pandemic or assist impacted businesses, such as fiscal stimul us and other legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. Other factors could also adversely affect us, including those related to the Combination and other acquisitions and the integration of acqu ire d businesses. Our forward - looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and its operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which ar e beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results . All forward - looking statements included in this presentation, including expectations about the improvements in business conditions during 2021 and future periods, are based upon information available to the Company as of th e date of this presentation, which may change. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward - looking statements. For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, refer to the Risk Factors section, which appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10 - Q for the quarte r ended September 30, 2020, and in subsequent reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, once filed, our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31, 20 20. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward - looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.

©2019 Quaker Houghton. All Rights Reserved 6 Financial Highlights – Actual Results Fourth quarter of 2020 • Net sales of $385.9 million decreased only 1% compared to $391.3 million in the Q4’19 primarily due to a 2% decrease from price and product mix, partially offset by a 1% positive impact from foreign currency translation; sales volumes were consistent with Q4’19 • Gross profit increased $5.9 million compared to Q4’19 primarily due to higher gross margins quarter - over - quarter; gross margin was 36.8% compared to 34.8% in Q4’19 which included a $1.5 million expense associated with selling acquired Norman Hay inventory at its fair value • Excluding the inventory adjustment, prior year estimated gross margin would have been approximately 35.3%; the estimated increase in gross margin quarter - over - quarter was primarily due to lower costs of goods sold as a result of the Company’s progress on Combination - related logistics, procurement and manufacturing costs savings initiatives • SG&A decreased $3.2 million compared to Q4’19 due primarily to the impact of COVID - 19 cost savings actions, including lower travel expenses, and the benefits of realized cost savings associated with the Combination, partially offset by the negative impact from foreign currency translation • Non - operating items compared to Q4’19 include a gain of $18.1 million related to restrictions lapsing on certain cash previously designated solely for the settlement of asbestos claims and lower interest expense due to a decline in interest rates in the current year, partially offset by higher foreign currency transaction losses compared to the prior year quarter • Effective tax rates of an expense of 4.9% and a benefit of 18.2% in Q4’20 and Q4’19, respectively, include various one - time impacts; without these items effective tax rates would have been ~30% and ~24% for Q4’20 and Q4’19, respectively

©2019 Quaker Houghton. All Rights Reserved 8 Financial Highlights – Actual Results Full year of 2020 • Net sales of $1,417.7 million increased 25% compared to prior year primarily driven by a full year of net sales from Houghton an d Norman Hay; excluding net sales from acquisitions, net sales would have declined approximately 11% due to lower volumes of 9% associated with the negative impacts of COVID - 19 on global production levels, as well as a 1% negative impact from foreign currency translation and a 1% decrease in price and product mix • Gross profit increased $121.3 million compared to the prior year also due to a full year of Houghton and Norman Hay; gross ma rgi n was 36.2% compared to 34.6% in FY’19 which included a $11.7 million expense associated with selling acquired Houghton and Norman Hay inventory at its fair value • Excluding one - time increases to costs of goods sold, primarily related to the expense associated with selling acquired inventory at fair value, the estimated gross margin would have been approximately 36.3% and 35.7%, respectively; the estimated increase in gross margin y ear - over - year was primarily due to lower costs of goods sold as a result of the Company’s progress on Combination - related logistics, procureme nt and manufacturing cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the impact of lower current year sales volumes on fixed manufactu rin g costs • SG&A increased $96.9 million due to additional Houghton and Norman Hay SG&A , partially offset by lower SG&A due to the impact of COVID - 19 cost savings actions, including lower travel expenses, and the benefits of realized cost savings associated with the Combination • Non - operating items compared to prior year include a non - cash settlement charge of $22.7 million related to the termination of a Legacy Quaker U.S. pension plan, higher interest expense on a full year of borrowings under the credit facility and higher fo rei gn currency transaction losses compared to the prior year, partially offset by a gain of $18.1 million related to restrictions l aps ing on certain cash previously designated solely for the settlement of asbestos claims • Effective tax rates of a benefit of 19.5% and an expense of 7.2% in FY’20 and FY’19, respectively, include various one - time impacts; without these items effective tax rates would have been ~25% and ~22% for FY’20 and FY’19, respectively

Appendix Actual and Non - GAAP Results
The information included in this presentation includes non - GAAP (unaudited) financial information that includes EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non - GAAP operating income, non - GAAP operating margin, non - GAAP net income, non - GAAP earnings per diluted share, and pro forma net sales, net income (loss) attributable to Qua ker Houghton, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company believes these non - GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they enhance a reader’s unders tanding of the financial performance of the Company, are indicative of future operating performance of the Company, and facilitate a comparison among fiscal periods, as the non - GAAP financial measures exclu de items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Non - GAAP results and pro forma information are presented for supplemental informational purposes o nly and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents EBITDA which is calculated as net income attributable to the Company before depreciation and amortizatio n, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies. The Company also presents adjusted EBITDA which is calculated as EBITDA plus or minus certain items that are not ind icative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company presents non - GAAP operating income which is calculated as operating income plus or minus c ertain items that are not indicative of future operating performance or not considered core to the Company’s operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin and non - GAAP operating margin are calculated as the percentage of adju sted EBITDA and non - GAAP operating income to consolidated net sales, respectively. The Company believes these non - GAAP measures provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by an alysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating performance of the Company on a consistent basis. Additionally, the Company presents non - GAAP net income and non - GAAP earnings per diluted share as additional performance measure s. Non - GAAP net income is calculated as adjusted EBITDA, defined above, less depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, and taxes on income before equity in net income of associated companies , i n each case adjusted, as applicable, for any depreciation, amortization, interest or tax impacts resulting from the non - core items identified in the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company to adjusted EBITDA. Non - GAAP earnings per diluted share is calculated as non - GAAP net income per diluted share as accounted for under the “two - class share method.” The Company believes that non - GAAP net income and non - GAAP e arnings per diluted share provide transparent and useful information and are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry as well as by management in assessing the operating perfo rma nce of the Company on a consistent basis. In addition, the Company has provided certain unaudited pro forma financial information in this presentation. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements and results of both Quaker and Houghton and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Combination. The unaudited pro fo rma financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of Quaker Houghton’s past results of operations, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of Quaker Houghton and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not provided pro forma financial information as it relates to the acquire d o perating divisions of Norman Hay plc based on materiality. Pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2019 include five months of Houghton’s operations post - closing of the Combination, while Houghton reflects se ven months of results for the period from January 1, 2019 through July 31, 2019. Pro forma results for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, include Quaker’s historical results, while Hou ghton reflects its stand - alone results. As it relates to 2021 projected adjusted EBITDA growth for the Company, including as a result of our recent acquisitions, as wel l as other forward - looking information described further above, the Company has not provided guidance for comparable GAAP measures or a quantitative reconciliation of forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures t o the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure because it is unable to determine with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items necessary to calculate such measures without unre aso nable effort. These items include, but are not limited to, certain non - recurring or non - core items the Company may record that could materially impact net income, as well as the impact of COVID - 19. These items are uncert ain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period. The following charts should be read in conjunction with the Company’s fourth quarter and full year earnings news release date d F ebruary 25, 2021, which has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8 - K , and the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019, and, once filed with the Securities and Exchange Comm iss ion, the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.
