Exhibit 99.1
Tronox Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
STAMFORD, Conn., May 6, 2026/PRNewswire/ — Tronox Holdings plc (NYSE:TROX) (“Tronox” or the “Company”), the world’s leading integrated manufacturer of titanium dioxide (“TiO2”) pigment, today reported its financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, as follows:
 |
First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:
| • | Revenue of $760 million, a 4% increase compared to the prior quarter and a 3% increase compared to the prior year |
| • | Loss from operations of $41 million; Net loss attributable to Tronox of $103 million including $15 million of restructuring and other charges, net of taxes, primarily associated with the closure of the Company’s Botlek and Fuzhou pigment plants; Adjusted net loss attributable to Tronox was $88 million (non-GAAP) |
| • | GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.65; Adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.55 (non-GAAP) |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA of $62 million; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.2% (non-GAAP) |
| • | Capital expenditures of $67 million in the quarter |
Updated Outlook:
| • | Expect free cash flow to be positive in Q2 2026, largely offsetting Q1 cash use; Expect to deliver meaningful positive free cash flow for full year 2026 |
| • | Expect Q2 2026 TiO2 volumes to increase sequentially in the high single-digit percentage range |
| • | Expect Q2 2026 zircon volume levels to moderate slightly compared to Q1 |
| • | TiO2 and zircon Q2 2026 volumes could be higher, depending on regional inventory availability |
| • | TiO2 and zircon pricing both expected to improve sequentially in the mid-single-digit percentage range in Q2 2026 as a result of announced price increases and cost input-related surcharges |
| • | Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA expected to be $65-$85 million |
This outlook is based on Tronox’s views on current global economic activity and is subject to changes and impacts associated with the general macroeconomic, geopolitical, and industry-related conditions, global supply chain, and inflation-related challenges, among others.
------
Note: For the Company’s guidance with respect to second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, we are not able to provide without unreasonable effort the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or reconciliation to such GAAP financial measure, because certain items that impact such measures are uncertain, out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

CEO’s Remarks
Chief Executive Officer John Romano stated, “Tronox delivered a strong top-line performance and achieved EBITDA above the mid-point of our guidance in the first quarter of 2026. Volumes for both TiO2 and zircon exceeded our expectations, reflecting disciplined commercial execution, enhanced customer engagement, and the strategic positioning of our products in key markets, supported by our global operating footprint. TiO2 volumes reached the highest first quarter level since 2022, and zircon volumes achieved the highest level since Q4 2021. TiO2 volume growth was driven by normal seasonal demand patterns in key end markets during the quarter in addition to meaningful benefits from structural shifts as a result of antidumping measures, particularly in Europe, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia. While volumes in India were impacted by the temporary stay of the duties in the region, demand was better than anticipated. We saw a clear inflection on pricing during the first quarter. TiO2 price actions took effect as planned, and we announced additional pricing actions and targeted surcharges that are beginning to take effect in the second quarter. Zircon pricing was stable in the first quarter, and the announced pricing increases for the second quarter are being implemented as communicated on our last earnings call.
“From a cost perspective, we saw sequential benefits from actions underway, including our cost improvement program, which remains on track to deliver $125-$175 million of run-rate savings at the end of 2026. These benefits were partially offset by near-term headwinds related in part to higher sales volumes pulling forward sales of higher‑cost inventory, reflective of deliberate actions previously taken to preserve cash, including lower operating rates resulting from idled mining and pigment assets. As the quarter progressed, ongoing geopolitical developments contributed to increased costs from inputs such as natural gas, sulfur, diesel, freight, and insurance, some of which was reflected in our first quarter cost profile. In response, we implemented increases through surcharges, though there will be a lag between when these take effect versus the more immediate impact to our operations. We will continue to assess input cost headwinds and take necessary targeted actions as needed to avoid margin erosion.”
Mr. Romano concluded, “Cash generation remains our primary focus. Free cash flow for the first quarter was better than expected, driven by strong execution on working capital. We reduced inventory levels by approximately $75 million compared to year‑end, reflecting higher TiO2 and zircon sales and actions taken across our mining operations to reduce production. Given our strong commercial performance, we also increased the capacity of our accounts receivable securitization facility, further supporting liquidity. While the conflict in the Middle East adds additional variables, based on our outlook today, we continue to expect to generate meaningful positive free cash flow for the full year.”
First Quarter 2026 Results
(Comparisons are to prior year (Q1 2026 vs. Q1 2025) unless otherwise noted)
The Company recorded first quarter revenue of $760 million, an increase of 3% primarily driven by higher sales volumes of TiO2 and zircon, and a favorable exchange rate impact, partially offset by lower average selling prices of TiO2 and zircon, including mix, and lower other product volumes.
Revenue from TiO2 sales was $616 million, an increase of 5% driven by a 5% increase in volumes and a 4% favorable exchange rate impact, partially offset by a 4% decline in average selling prices including mix. Sequentially, TiO2 sales increased 7%, driven by a 4% increase in sales volumes and a 3% increase in average selling prices including mix.
Zircon revenue increased 29% to $89 million, driven by a 57% increase in sales volumes, partially offset by a 28% decrease in average selling prices including mix. Sequentially, zircon revenue increased 14%, driven by a 14% increase in sales volumes while average selling prices including mix remained flat.
Revenue from other products was $55 million, a decline of 35% year-over-year and a decline of 27% sequentially primarily due to lower pig iron sales volumes.
Net loss attributable to Tronox in the quarter was $103 million, or a loss of $0.65 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Tronox of $111 million, or a loss of $0.70 per diluted share in the year-ago period. Non-recurring adjustments totaled $15 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. Excluding these items, adjusted net loss attributable to Tronox (non-GAAP) was $88 million, or a loss of $0.55 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $62 million represented a 45% decrease, driven by lower average selling prices including mix, unfavorable exchange rate movements, and higher freight and production costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes, and lower corporate costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.2%.
Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% due to higher average TiO2 selling prices including mix, higher sales volumes of TiO2 and zircon, and lower production costs, partially offset by unfavorable exchange rate impacts, higher freight costs, and higher corporate costs.
The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $71 million for the quarter, a decrease of 4%. Tronox’s net interest expense in the quarter was $51 million. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $75 million.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Tronox ended the quarter with $3.3 billion of total debt, $3.2 billion of net debt and a net leverage ratio of 11.1x on a trailing twelve-month basis. Available liquidity at the end of the quarter totaled $406 million, including $126 million in cash and cash equivalents and $280 million available under revolving credit agreements. Total liquidity excludes the Emirates Revolver, which is undrawn and not expected to be renewed following its expiration in June 2026. In the quarter, the Company also upsized its AR securitization facility by $25 million and increased the facility by an additional $20 million in May 2026. The next significant debt maturity for the Company is not until 2029. Tronox does not have any financial covenants on its term loans or bonds. The Company has sufficient liquidity and does not expect to trigger the springing covenant on the US revolving credit facility.
Free cash flow for the quarter was a use of $135 million. Capital expenditures were $67 million.
Rare Earths
Tronox continued to advance its rare earths strategy during the quarter, with a clear focus on moving further downstream in a disciplined manner. The Company made progress toward a definitive feasibility study and continued to evaluate development pathways that prioritize returns and limit incremental leverage. Tronox remains actively engaged with customers, partners, and funding sources as it assesses the most responsible and value-accretive path forward, leveraging its existing mining footprint and expertise in hydrometallurgical and chemical operations. The Company believes this strategy positions Tronox to participate in longer‑term efforts to diversify rare earth supply chains.
Outlook
Tronox expects TiO2 volumes in the second quarter of 2026 to increase sequentially in the high single-digit percentage range, supported by seasonal demand, continued demand in regions benefiting from trade defense measures, and the Company’s ability to reliably serve customers through its global footprint. Zircon volumes are expected to moderate slightly from a very strong first quarter. TiO2 and zircon Q2 2026 volumes could be higher, depending on regional inventory availability. Both TiO2 and zircon pricing are expected to increase sequentially in the mid-single-digit percentage range, reflecting announced price increases and cost input-related surcharges. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 is expected to be in the range of $65-$85 million. This range includes $10-$15 million of sequential cost headwinds, reflecting elevated input and logistics costs ahead of the full benefit of pricing actions and surcharges and the impact of lower mining operating rates and planned outages implemented to support inventory reduction and cash generation, partially offset by the sale of lower cost tons in the second quarter that were produced in the first quarter. Tronox expects free cash flow to be positive in the second quarter of 2026, largely offsetting the seasonal cash use in the first quarter. Tronox remains on track to generate meaningful positive free cash flow for the full year 2026.
