CEO Commentary

Jeffry N. Quinn, chairman and chief executive officer commented, "Tronox's first quarter results came in slightly above our previously announced preliminary results, as we delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24 percent, and Adjusted EPS of $0.29.  These strong results were attributable to the benefits of our geographic diversity, vertically integrated global footprint, favorable end market exposure, and delivery of Cristal acquisition synergies.  I am grateful to our employees around the world who have continued to deliver safe, quality, low-cost tons for our customers, while adapting our operations to manage through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"Our focus during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to be on protecting the health and safety of our employees.  To this end, we have implemented stringent and prudent protocols at all our worldwide locations.  Our operations have been designated as essential given the applications of TiO2, Zircon, and other co-products in critical products such as food and medical packaging, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal protective gear.  All our sites are operating, and we continue to work diligently to ensure business continuity to meet our customers' needs.

"We continue to monitor the market conditions which are evolving each day.  Demand for TiO2 remains mixed across regions, with North America being the most resilient and China improving, offset by weaker demand in regions hit hardest by the virus, such as southern Europe, Brazil, and India.  Zircon demand also remains mixed with recovering volumes in China offset by weaker demand in southern Europe and India.

"Based upon the evolving status of social restrictions, the uncertain plans for the re-opening of economies around the world, and our most recent conversations with and public statements by our customers, our current expectation is for second quarter TiO2 volumes to decline in the high teens to low twenties percent range versus first quarter 2020.  Zircon volumes for the second quarter are anticipated to remain largely in line with the first quarter. 

"Our liquidity remains strong.  Last week, we successfully completed the offering of our $500 million 6.5% 2025 senior secured notes, with the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, strategic investments and transactions, working capital and other business opportunities.  We used a portion of the proceeds to pay down the $200 million drawn on our ABL and revolving credit facilities at the end of March."

Mr. Quinn concluded, "We are proactively managing our cash flow through cost reductions, harvesting of working capital, and reducing capital expenditures.  We have ample levers available to ensure sufficient liquidity under any conceivable scenario.  We remain focused on execution, operational excellence, delivering synergies, and enhancing our vertical integration strategy, which has created an enterprise with greater stability in financial performance and cash generation."

On May 6, 2020, Tronox's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share, payable on May 29, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2020.

Financial Summary for the Quarter Ending March 31, 2020(1)

Tronox reported revenue of $722 million for the first quarter 2020, in line with first quarter 2019 revenues of $720 million on a pro forma basis.  Income from operations of $79 million compared to $46 million in the year-ago quarter on a pro forma basis.  Net income attributable to Tronox was $32 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to Tronox of $23 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter on a pro forma basis.  Net income attributable to Tronox in the first quarter 2020 included restructuring and integration costs related to the Cristal acquisition that totaled $9 million or $0.07 per diluted share.  Excluding these items, adjusted net income attributable to Tronox (Non-GAAP) was $41 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.  Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million increased 23 percent compared to $141 million on a pro forma basis in the prior-year quarter.

(1) Net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS increased from preliminary results due to purchase accounting related adjustments.
Note: Since Tronox and Cristal combined their respective businesses on April 10, 2019 and to assist in the following discussion of first quarter 2020 performance compared to the first quarter 2019, we have provided the results on both a pro forma basis and a reported basis.

First Quarter 2020 vs. First Quarter 2019

Reported Basis

  • Revenue of $722 million increased 85 percent compared to $390 million
  • TiO2 sales of $580 million, including revenue from the acquired Cristal operations, increased 109 percent compared to $277 million
  • Zircon sales of $65 million, including revenue from the acquired Cristal operations, increased 2 percent from $64 million
  • Feedstock and other products sales of $77 million, including revenue from the acquired Cristal operations, increased 57 percent from $49 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million increased 118 percent compared to $80 million

Pro Forma Basis

  • Revenue of $722 million was in line with revenue of $720 million in the year-ago quarter
  • TiO2 sales of $580 million were 2 percent higher compared to $570 million; sales volumes increased 6 percent; selling prices were 3 percent lower on a local currency basis and 1 percent lower on a U.S. dollar basis
  • Zircon sales of $65 million were 21 percent lower than $82 million in the year-ago quarter; sales volumes were 7 percent lower and selling prices were 16 percent lower
  • Feedstock and other products sales of $77 million increased 13 percent from $68 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million was 23 percent higher than $141 million in the year-ago quarter, driven by synergies, favorable foreign exchange rates, the absence of deferred margin build and higher TiO2 and CP slag volumes, partially offset by increased production costs and lower ore grades at our Australian mine sites

First Quarter 2020 vs. Fourth Quarter 2019

Reported Basis

  • Revenue of $722 million increased 4 percent compared to $693 million
  • TiO2 sales of $580 million were 7 percent higher than $544 million; sales volumes increased 7 percent – driven by resiliency in North America, strong demand in EMEA and late in the quarter demand recovery in China, partially offset by slightly weaker demand in other Asia Pacific countries – and selling prices were level sequentially
  • Zircon sales of $65 million decreased 8 percent from $71 million, driven by an 8 percent decrease in selling prices which were partially influenced by a continued shift to standard grade from premium grade
  • Feedstock and other products sales of $77 million were relatively in line compared to $78 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $174 million increased 12 percent compared to $156 million, primarily due to increased TiO2 volumes, synergies, and favorable foreign exchange rates

Other Financial Information

  • On a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2020, after giving effect to our $500 million debt offering and $200 million repayment of credit facilities, debt was $3.5 billion and debt, net of cash and cash equivalents was $2.8 billion, excluding restricted cash
  • Following our recent debt offering and credit facility repayments, our liquidity was over $1 billion on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2020, comprised of pro forma cash and cash equivalents of approximately $720 million and $350 million available under revolving credit agreements
  • In the first quarter 2020, capital expenditures were $38 million and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $71 million
  • Free cash flow for the quarter was $(66) million, primarily due to strong sales in March which increased our accounts receivables above normal and a reduction in payables, which is expected to be reversed in the second quarter

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this release that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and anticipated synergies based on our growth and other strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, actual synergies, or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance, anticipated synergies or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Significant risks and uncertainties may relate to, but are not limited to, business and market disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, market conditions and price volatility for titanium dioxide, zircon and other feedstock materials, as well as global and regional economic downturns, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that adversely affect the demand for our end-use products; disruptions in production at our mining and manufacturing facilities; and other financial, economic, competitive, environmental, political, legal and regulatory factors. These and other risk factors are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, synergies or achievements. Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information or future developments. 

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding the financial results of Tronox Holdings plc, we have disclosed in this press release certain non-U.S. GAAP operating performance measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net loss attributable to Tronox, including its presentation on a per share basis, and a non-U.S. GAAP liquidity measure of Free Cash Flow.  These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are a supplement to and not a substitute for or superior to, the Company's results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from non-U.S. GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Specifically, the Company believes the non-U.S. GAAP information provides useful measures to investors regarding the Company's financial performance by excluding certain costs and expenses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results.  The presentation of these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results or guidance prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  A reconciliation of the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP results is included herein.

Management believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures:

  • Reflect the ongoing business of Tronox Holdings plc in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in its business, as they exclude income and expense that are not reflective of ongoing operating results;
  • Provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the operating results and future prospects of Tronox Holdings plc;
  • Provide an additional view of the operating performance of the Company by adding interest expense & income, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization to the net income.  Further adjustments due to gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation charges, transaction costs associated with acquisitions, integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments, foreign currency re-measurements, impairments, settlements of pension and postretirement plans, impacts of tax settlements on non-income related taxes, severance expense, and noncash pension and postretirement expense and accretion expense are made to exclude items that are either non-cash or unusual in nature;
  • Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses for planning and budgeting processes and to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to measures of our financial performance as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net income (loss). Because other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Tronox, EBITDA may not be, and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this release is not, comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies; and
  • We believe that the non-U.S. GAAP financial measure "Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Tronox Holdings plc" and its presentation on a per share basis provide useful information about our operating results to investors and securities analysts. We also believe that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of our underlying businesses from period to period.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

On April 10, 2019, we announced the completion of the acquisition of the TiO2 business of Cristal which impacts the comparability of the reported results for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019.  Since Tronox and Cristal have combined their respective businesses effective with the merger date of April 10, 2019, the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflect the results of the combined business from April 10, 2019, while the three months ended March 31, 2019 include only the results of the legacy Tronox business. To assist with a discussion of the first quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2019 results on a comparable basis, certain supplemental unaudited pro forma income statement and Adjusted EBITDA information is provided on a consolidated basis and is referred to as "pro forma information."  The pro forma information has been prepared on a basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, assuming the merger and merger-related divestitures of Cristal's North American TiO2 business and the 8120 paper laminate grade had been consummated on January 1, 2018. In preparing this pro forma information, the historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the business combination and other transactions presented herein, such as the merger-related divestitures, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined entity's consolidated results. The pro forma information is based on management's assumptions and is presented for illustrative purposes and does not purport to represent what the results of operations would actually have been if the business combination and merger-related divestitures had occurred as of the dates indicated or what the results would be for any future periods. Also, the pro forma information does not include the impact of any revenue, cost or other operating synergies in the periods prior to the acquisition that may result from the business combination or any related restructuring costs.
