Tronox's first quarter results saw a continuation of the market recovery which began late in the third quarter of 2020. This resulted in a record quarter for TiO2 and zircon sales volumes. First quarter revenue increased 14 percent sequentially, driven primarily by double-digit growth in both TiO2 and zircon volumes and higher TiO2 average selling prices. TiO2 sales volume grew 15 percent quarter over quarter led by growth in Europe and Asia Pacific. South America and Asia Pacific growth led volume growth year over year. North America also grew sequentially and year over year, but at comparatively lower growth levels given the overall resiliency of the region throughout 2020. Increases in TiO2 selling prices in all regions resulted in a 3 percent sequential improvement globally. Revenue from zircon sales increased 31 percent sequentially, as global economic recovery took hold and China architectural completions rose. This resulted in a 30 percent increase in sequential zircon sales volumes, while pricing remained level. Revenue from feedstock and other products declined 29 percent sequentially, primarily due to the conclusion in the fourth quarter of 2020 of the mandated chloride slag sales per the FTC consent order, allowing Tronox to utilize more of its feedstock produced internally. Tronox delivered Adjusted EBITDA of
Commenting on these results, John D. Romano, co-chief executive officer, stated, "Our first quarter performance outpaced our expectations, driven by exceptional demand across all regions and end markets, resulting in a record quarter across a number of metrics. Achieving our highest TiO2 sales volume quarter in our Company's history is an incredible accomplishment and is evidence of continuation of the recovery of the TiO2 cycle. Zircon sales volumes also broke Company records and outpaced our expectations driven by global economic recovery and robust demand in China that Tronox was prepared to meet with both production and inventory on hand. We were able to partially offset top-line headwinds from the loss of external chloride slag sales, which had been mandated by the FTC consent order, through increased pig iron revenues due largely to rising prices. Our performance this quarter would not have been possible without the dedication of the Tronox team, and in particular, our global supply chain and order-to-delivery employees who navigated numerous challenges and disruptions to meet our commitments and serve our customers, so thank you to our employees around the world."
Jean-François Turgeon, co-chief executive officer, added, "Anticipated first quarter foreign exchange rate and pigment cost headwinds outlined during our fourth quarter earnings call were offset by favorable pricing and volumes leading to an Adjusted EBITDA of
"With an expectation that the global recovery will continue into the second quarter and given the lower than typical inventory levels throughout the supply chain, we anticipate TiO2 sales volumes will increase in the low- to mid-single digit percent range over our record-breaking first quarter levels, setting us up for another strong volume quarter. Zircon sales volumes are expected to remain elevated above 2019 and 2020 quarterly volume levels, though off from the first quarter peak. TiO2 and zircon prices are expected to increase as we make progress with our regional price initiatives. These tailwinds on the commercial side are expected be partially offset by sequential headwinds from unfavorable foreign exchange rates, inflation, and a planned maintenance shutdown of our Australian Northern Operations synthetic rutile production facility. As a result, we anticipate Q2 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of
Mr. Romano further added, "As a result of our refinancing transactions in the first quarter, we extended our debt portfolio's weighted average maturity by approximately three years. Given our strong free cash flow in the quarter, we will have repaid an additional
Mr. Turgeon concluded, "This is an exciting time in our Company, and we remain confident that with our portfolio of assets and market position, we are prepared to continue capitalizing on the momentum and delivering on our commitments to our stakeholders. We have continued to operate with an eye on the future and are diligently progressing on our previously identified key capital projects to reduce costs and ensure we sustain our advantaged position."
