| • |
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
|
| • |
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
|
| • |
Revenue of $722 million increased 4 percent compared to $693 million
|
|
•
|
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
|
| • |
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
|
| • |
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.
