Briefing

Tronox reported fourth quarter 2024 financial results, with performance in line with expectations and the launch of a cost improvement plan.

Tronox reported fourth quarter 2024 financial results, with revenue of $676 million, a net loss of $30 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $129 million. The company's performance was in line with expectations, driven by strong TiO2 commercial performance in Asia Pacific and Latin America, and exceeded guidance for Zircon sales. A cost improvement plan targeting $125-175 million in sustainable savings by the end of 2026 was launched.

  • Fourth quarter revenue was $676 million, a 1% decrease year-over-year, primarily due to unfavorable average selling prices and product mix.

Forward guidance

For the full year 2025, Tronox expects revenue to be between $3.0 billion and $3.4 billion and Adjusted EBITDA between $525 million and $625 million. Capital expenditures are projected to be $375-395 million, with free cash flow expected to be relatively flat.

Tailwinds

  • 2025 Revenue expected to be $3.0-3.4 billion, driven by improving TiO2 and zircon volumes.
  • 2025 Adjusted EBITDA expected to be $525-625 million, with improved pigment production costs.
  • The company expects the second half of 2025 to be stronger than the first half.
  • Identified $125-175 million of sustainable, run-rate cost improvements deliverable by the end of 2026.
  • Free cash flow expected to be relatively flat at the midpoint of the range.

Headwinds

  • Lower sales from other products are expected to partially offset revenue improvements.
  • Higher mining production costs are expected to partially offset Adjusted EBITDA improvements.
  • The majority of identified cost savings are weighted more towards 2026, not 2025.
  • Outlook is subject to changes and impacts associated with global supply chain and inflation-related challenges.
  • Uncertainties regarding global economic activity may impact future results.
