On August 5, 2020, Albemarle Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release
reporting its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. A copy of this
release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by

teleconference for analysts and media to discuss results for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2020. The teleconference will be webcast on the Company's website
at www.albemarle.com.
The press release includes presentations of adjusted net income attributable to
Albemarle Corporation, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted effective
income tax rates, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA
margin. These are financial measures that are not required by, nor presented in
accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"), but are included to provide additional useful measurements to review
our operations, provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period
comparability of financial performance.
Our presentations of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share,
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted effective income tax rates should not be
considered as alternatives to Net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation
("earnings"), diluted earnings per share and effective income tax rates as
determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, EBITDA margin and adjusted EBITDA
margin should not be considered as alternatives to earnings as a percentage of
our consolidated net sales as would be determined in accordance with GAAP. The
Company has included in the press release certain reconciliation information for
these measures to their most directly comparable financial measures calculated
and reported in accordance with GAAP.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this
Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed"
for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be
deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
a filing.
