  • Bereinigtes EBITDA von 525-625 Millionen Dollar

Positive
  • Launch of cost improvement plan targeting $125-175 million in sustainable savings by 2026
  • Q4 Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 19.1% from 13.7% year-over-year
  • Production cost improvements of $75 million compared to Q4 2023
  • Strong TiO2 commercial performance in Asia Pacific and Latin America
  • 32% increase in Zircon revenue to $75 million in Q4
Negative
  • Q4 net loss of $30 million ($0.19 per share)
  • Full-year 2024 net loss of $54 million
  • Negative free cash flow of $70 million for 2024
  • High net leverage ratio of 4.8x
  • Continued weak demand in European markets

Insights

The Q4 results reveal a company actively managing through challenging market conditions while implementing strategic initiatives for long-term sustainability. The cost improvement program targeting $125-175 million in savings represents a significant opportunity, potentially improving EBITDA margins by approximately 4-6% once fully implemented.

Segment performance shows diverging trends: TiO2 revenue increased 3% on higher volumes despite pricing pressure, while zircon revenue jumped 32% driven by strong volume growth of 43%. This volume-led growth strategy in a weak pricing environment demonstrates effective commercial execution but puts pressure on margins.

The balance sheet position requires attention, with net debt of $2.7 billion and a leverage ratio of 4.8x EBITDA. While available liquidity of $578 million provides operational flexibility, the negative free cash flow of $70 million for 2024 highlights the need for improved cash generation. The planned capital expenditure of $375-395 million for 2025 suggests continued investment in core operations despite cash flow pressures.

Production cost improvements of $75 million in Q4 versus the prior year demonstrate operational optimization efforts are gaining traction. However, the projected flat free cash flow for 2025 indicates that working capital management and capital expenditure efficiency will be important for financial flexibility.

CEO Remarks
Chief Executive Officer John D. Romano commented "Tronox delivered fourth quarter results in line with expectations despite continued macro weakness. Strong TiO2 commercial performance in Asia Pacific and Latin America mitigated continued lagging demand in Europe, while North America performed as expected. Zircon sales exceeded our previous guidance, driven by strong execution from our commercial group. Additionally, despite significant competitive dynamics across all products, pricing came in as anticipated. On operations, we realized $75 million of production cost improvements compared to Q4 2023, owing to consistent and reliable performance in the fourth quarter. As a result, Tronox delivered an Adjusted EBITDA of $129 million in the quarter, well within the previously guided range of $120-$135 million, and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.1%.

"Reflecting on the full year, I am proud of the work our team did to remain focused on the things we can control and influence. In 2024, we heightened our focus on safety and reduced our total recordable injuries by 23%. We enhanced our focus on operations, resulting in significant production cost improvements in the second half of 2024. We continued to execute on our capital allocation strategy, prioritizing investments in the business including replacing our mines reaching end of life. Additionally, we strengthened our balance sheet through opportunistic refinancing transactions and returned $80 million to shareholders in the form of dividends."

Mr. Romano concluded, "As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed to safety, continuous improvement and disciplined cost management across our entire business as we navigate through economic uncertainties. Part of our strategy includes the launch of a cost improvement program. We identified $125-175 million in sustainable cost savings, achievable on a run-rate basis by the end of 2026. This program is focused on enhancing cost efficiency and optimizing asset performance across all aspects of our business. We will continue to evaluate every aspect of our business to drive further improvements."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results
(Comparisons are to prior year (Q4 2024 vs. Q4 2023) unless otherwise noted)

The Company reported fourth quarter revenue of $676 million, a decrease of 1%, driven by unfavorable average selling prices and product mix impact on TiO2 and zircon and lower revenue from other products, partially offset by higher sales volumes of zircon and TiO2.

Revenue from TiO2 sales was $533 million, an increase of 3% driven by a 4% increase in volumes partially offset by a 1% price decrease in average selling prices and product mix. Sequentially, TiO2 sales decreased 13%, driven by an 11% decrease in volumes, a 1% decline in average selling prices and mix, and a 1% unfavorable exchange rate impact.

Zircon revenue increased 32% to $75 million, driven by a 43% increase in volumes, partially offset by an 11% decrease in average selling prices and unfavorable mix impact. Sequentially, zircon revenue increased 1%, driven by a 9% increase in volumes, partially offset by a 8% decrease in average selling prices and unfavorable mix impact.

Revenue from other products was $68 million, a decline of 38% year-over-year, and a sequential decline of 40% primarily due to the opportunistic sales of ilmenite and heavy mineral concentrate tailings that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2024 that did not repeat in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net loss attributable to Tronox in the quarter was $30 million, or a loss of $0.19 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $56 million, or loss of $0.36 per diluted share in the year-ago period. Adjusted net income attributable to Tronox (non-GAAP) was $4 million, or earnings of $0.03 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA of $129 million represented a 37% increase compared to the fourth quarter 2023, driven primarily by improved absorption from higher production volumes and favorable production costs partly offset by lower sales volume of other products, product pricing and mix impacts, and headwinds from exchange rates. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.1% for the quarter.

Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 10% due to lower sales volumes of other products and TiO2, headwinds from average selling prices and mix impacts, partly offset by improved production costs, favorable exchange rates, and lower other company costs.

The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were $69 million in the quarter. Net interest expense was $40 million. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $71 million.

Full Year 2024 Results
The Company reported full-year revenue of $3,074 million, an increase of 8% year-over-year. Net loss attributable to Tronox was $48 million, or a loss of $0.31 per diluted share. Excluding non-recurring adjustments totaling $36 million or $0.23 per diluted share, adjusted net loss attributable to Tronox (non-GAAP) was $12 million or a loss of $0.08 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA of $564 million increased 8% compared to $524 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.3% for the year.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Tronox ended the year with $2.9 billion of total debt, $2.7 billion of net debt and a net leverage ratio of 4.8x on a trailing twelve-month basis. As of December 31, 2024, available liquidity totaled $578 million, including $151 million in cash and cash equivalents and $427 million under existing revolving credit agreements.

Free cash flow for the year was a use of $70 million. Capital expenditures were $370 million. The Company returned $80 million to shareholders in the form of dividends in the year.

Outlook
For the full year 2025, the Company is expecting revenue to be $3.0-3.4 billion driven by improving TiO2 and zircon volumes, partially offset by lower sales from other products. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $525-625 million, with improved pigment production costs, partially offset by higher mining production costs. The Company expects the second half of 2025 to be stronger than the first half. Capital expenditures are expected to be $375-395 million. Free cash flow is expected to be relatively flat at the midpoint of the range. The Company identified $125-175 million of sustainable, run-rate cost improvements deliverable by the end of 2026. The Company expects the majority of these savings to be weighted more towards 2026.
