This outlook is based on Tronox's views on current global economic activity and is subject to changes and impacts associated with the general macroeconomic and industry-related conditions, global supply chain, and inflation-related challenges, among others.
Note: For the Company's guidance with respect to first quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA and 2026 full year free cash flow, we are not able to provide without unreasonable effort the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or reconciliation to such GAAP financial measure, because certain items that impact such measures are uncertain, out of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

CEO Remarks
Chief Executive Officer John D. Romano commented “As we stated in the release of our preliminary fourth quarter results last month, Tronox concluded the year with stronger volumes than anticipated and executed on actions to drive cash flow and improve our long-term cost position. TiO2 volumes in the fourth quarter reached their highest level of the year, a pattern that was only previously observed in 2020. This notable trend underscores how antidumping duties in India, Europe, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia have positively influenced the relevant markets and suggests a structural change in global TiO2 trade flows. Zircon volumes concluded the year positively, supported by customers restocking and resuming more normal buying patterns. While pricing was lower in the fourth quarter on both TiO2 and zircon as expected, we have announced pricing increases resulting in an inflection on pricing in the first half of 2026.
"I am proud of the work by our team on the levers we can control and influence. In 2025, we achieved our best safety performance in over a decade. Safety continues to be one of our core values and remains our number one priority across the Company. Throughout the year, we delivered meaningful progress on our cost improvement program, achieving more than $90 million of sustainable run‑rate savings as we exited 2025 and remaining on track to reach the high end of our $125 - $175 million target by the end of 2026. We took decisive portfolio actions on our footprint, including announcing the closure of two of our pigment plants, to streamline our global footprint and improve our cost structure over the long-term. Additionally, we lowered operating rates at our mining and upgrading operations in order to manage upstream inventory levels. In parallel, we enhanced our liquidity through the issuance of $400 million of senior secured notes and the launch of an inventory financing program, enabling us to maintain financial flexibility while navigating volatile markets. The combination of improved working capital discipline and targeted production adjustments drove stronger‑than‑expected free cash flow in the fourth quarter.
“We continued to drive actions to further advance our long‑term competitiveness. We commenced mining at Fairbreeze and began the commissioning of East OFS in South Africa, strengthened our position in end markets supported by trade defense actions, and continued progressing our rare earths strategy. In December, we announced the receipt of conditional, non-binding financing from Export Finance Australia and Export-Import Bank of the United States for the building out of a cracking and leaching facility in Australia. We are progressing our work on the definitive feasibility study and continuing to evaluate adding refining capacity to the value chain.”
Mr. Romano concluded, "As we look to 2026, our priority is cash generation, supported by improving pricing, efficient operations, and reducing inventory levels. TiO2 price increases that took effect in the first quarter, combined with favorable mix into higher‑priced regions, ongoing global supply rationalization, and trade defense actions position Tronox for improved earnings. While the production rate decreases across our mining and upgrading operations will result in near-term cost absorption headwinds, the favorable impact from releasing working capital will drive positive free cash flow. With lower inventory, a strengthened cost structure, and focus on cash generation, Tronox is well positioned to maximize our earnings potential when market fundamentals improve.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
(Comparisons are to prior year (Q4 2025 vs. Q4 2024) unless otherwise noted)
The Company reported fourth quarter revenue of $730 million, an increase of 8% driven by higher sales volumes of TiO2 and zircon, higher revenue from other products, and favorable FX impact, partially offset by lower average selling prices and product mix impact on TiO2 and zircon.
Revenue from TiO2 sales was $577 million, an increase of 8% driven by a 13% increase in volumes and a 3% favorable impact from FX, partially offset by an 8% decrease in average selling prices including mix. Sequentially, TiO2 sales increased 5%, driven by a 9% increase in volumes, partially offset by a 4% decline in average selling prices and mix. Exchange rate impact was flat sequentially.
Zircon revenue increased 4% to $78 million, driven by a 27% increase in volumes, partially offset by a 23% decrease in average selling prices and unfavorable mix impact. Sequentially, zircon revenue increased 32%, driven by a 42% increase in volumes, partially offset by a 10% decrease in average selling prices and unfavorable mix impact.
Revenue from other products was $75 million, an increase of 10% year-over-year due to higher pig iron sales, and a sequential decline of 17% primarily due to higher sales of heavy mineral concentrate tailings in the third quarter.
Net loss attributable to Tronox in the quarter was $176 million, or a loss of $1.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $30 million, or loss of $0.19 per diluted share in the year-ago period. Adjusted net loss attributable to Tronox (non-GAAP) was $96 million, or a loss of $0.60 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $57 million represented a 56% decrease compared to the fourth quarter 2024, driven by lower average selling prices including mix, higher production costs and freight costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes, favorable exchange rate movements and lower corporate costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.8% for the quarter.
Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 23% due to lower average selling prices including mix and lower other products sales volume, partially offset by higher sales volume of TiO2 and zircon, lower production costs and freight costs.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were $74 million in the quarter. Net interest expense was $52 million. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $82 million.
Full Year 2025 Results
The Company reported full-year revenue of $2,898 million, a decrease of 6% year-over-year. Net loss attributable to Tronox was $470 million, or a loss of $2.97 per diluted share. Excluding non-recurring adjustments totaling $233 million or $1.47 per diluted share, adjusted net loss attributable to Tronox (non-GAAP) was $237 million or a loss of $1.50 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA of $336 million decreased 40% compared to $564 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.6% for the year.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Tronox ended the year with $3.2 billion of total debt, $3.0 billion of net debt and a net leverage ratio of 9.0x on a trailing twelve-month basis. As of December 31, 2025, available liquidity totaled $674 million, including $199 million in cash and cash equivalents and $475 million under existing revolving credit agreements. The next significant debt maturity for the Company is not until 2029. Tronox does not have any financial covenants on its term loans or bonds. The Company has sufficient liquidity and does not expect to trigger the springing covenant on the US Cash Flow Revolver.
Free cash flow for the year was a use of $281 million. Capital expenditures were $341 million. The Company returned $48 million to shareholders in the form of dividends in the year.
Outlook
For the first quarter of 2026, Tronox expects TiO2 volumes to be relatively flat sequentially, on the back of a very strong fourth quarter. Tronox expects growth across all regions, with the exception of Asia, predominantly influenced by India. TiO2 pricing is expected to increase in the first quarter, reflecting price increases implemented at the beginning of the year and continued improvement in mix toward higher-value regions. Zircon volumes are expected to remain in-line with the solid fourth quarter performance, with pricing expected to stabilize in the first quarter and reflect announced price increases in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be in the range of $55 million to $65 million, reflecting headwinds from foreign exchange rates and impacts from absorption due to reduced mining and upgrading rates to manage inventory levels, partially offset by savings from the Company’s sustainable cost improvement program. Tronox reiterates the expectation to generate positive free cash flow for full year 2026, supported by improving pricing and volumes, lower capital expenditures, and targeted working capital actions.
