KRONOS WORLDWIDE, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:KRO) today reported a net loss of $9.2 million, or $.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $19.5 million, or $.17 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, Kronos Worldwide reported net income of $8.9 million, or $.08 per share, compared to net income of $27.6 million, or $.24 per share, in the first six months of 2024. Net income decreased in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to lower production volumes resulting in lower absorption of our fixed production costs. Net income for the first six months of 2025 was lower than net income for the first six months of 2024 primarily due to higher unabsorbed fixed costs as a result of operating our production facilities at reduced rates and higher distribution and warehousing costs resulting from an increase in finished goods inventory. Comparability of our results was also impacted by the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. As previously reported, effective July 16, 2024, we acquired the 50% joint venture interest in Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. (“LPC”) previously held by Venator Investments, Ltd. Prior to the acquisition, we held a 50% joint venture interest in LPC. Following the acquisition, LPC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. The results of operations of LPC have been included in our results of operations beginning as of the acquisition date.

Analysts Estimate Kronos Worldwide (KRO) to Report a Decline in Earnings: What to Look Out for

Kronos: Lack Of Vertical Integration, Operational Leverage Limits Upside

Kronos is a HOLD: TiO2 demand should rise, but KRO lacks operating leverage and control over key feedstocks to benefit from upside. KRO faces significant competition from Chinese producers, especially in the US, with limited tariff protection and high industry excess capacity globally. High debt levels and rising refinancing costs are a risk, reducing long-term free cash flow and owner earnings despite manageable near-term maturities.
