Note: For the Company's guidance with respect to third quarter 2024 non-GAAP measures, 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 and Outlook
Chief Executive Officer John D. Romano commented, "Tronox's second quarter performance was consistent with our previous guidance and demonstrated the continued recovery across both TiO2 and zircon. Our TiO2 volumes increased 8% compared to the first quarter, or 16% compared to the prior year quarter, as we continued to see demand increase across all regions, consistent with seasonal trends. Zircon demand remained relatively stable compared to the first quarter. Pricing for both TiO2 and zircon increased from the first quarter into the second, as expected, partially offset by unfavorable mix. We generated $84 million in free cash flow in the quarter and returned $41 million to shareholders in the form of dividends.
"On the operations side, our average pigment plant utilization rate in the second quarter was lower than targeted, driven by short-term challenges relating to ramping up our assets. As a result, we incurred higher costs in the second quarter than anticipated and delivered Adjusted EBITDA at the lower end of our guided range. While this will impact the margins of pigment sold in the third quarter, the operating challenges we experienced during the ramp up in the second quarter are resolved, and our average pigment plant utilization rate for July was in the range of 80%."
Mr. Romano added, "While the macro backdrop for the second half of 2024 is expected to be less robust than previously anticipated, Tronox has realized and expects to continue to realize considerable growth compared to 2023. For the third quarter, we expect TiO2 volumes to decline in-line with normal seasonal patterns by approximately 2-4% compared to the second quarter (an increase in the high-teens range compared to Q3 2023). We expect zircon demand to remain relatively stable, with third quarter volumes in-line with second quarter levels (an increase of ~160% compared to Q3 2023). As previously referenced, the higher cost pigment tons manufactured in the second quarter will result in lower profitability as they are sold in the third quarter. As a result, we expect third quarter Adjusted EBITDA to be between $145 -165 million and our Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the high-teens. Furthermore, although we will not be providing any specific guidance ranges for the fourth quarter at this time, based on our current forecast and improved utilization rates, we expect our second half Adjusted EBITDA will be stronger than the first half."
Mr. Romano concluded, "Our team is highly focused on ensuring we deliver on our commitments to our stakeholders. Our vertically integrated business model serves as a differentiator for Tronox by providing security of supply from a global footprint that we can leverage to our customers' advantage and co-products that contribute significant value to our portfolio. We are now running our pigment plants in the range of 80% utilization rates, and we expect to continue running at this rate through the second half of the year. This will result in an improvement in pigment manufacturing costs and a step up in earnings power in the fourth quarter. Our results would not be possible without the ongoing efforts of our Tronox team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Tronox team for their dedication to operating safely and their steadfast commitment to fulfilling our customer's needs."
Second Quarter 2024 Results
(Comparisons are to prior year (Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023) unless otherwise noted)
The Company recorded second quarter revenue of $820 million, an increase of 3% primarily driven by higher TiO2 volumes, partially offset by lower pricing.
Revenue from TiO2 sales was $653 million, an increase of 7% driven by an 16% increase in volumes, partially offset by a 8% decrease in average selling prices including mix, and a 1% decrease due to exchange rates. Sequentially, TiO2 sales increased 8%, driven by an 8% increase in sales volumes, while price increases were partially offset by mix.
Zircon revenue decreased 11% to $85 million, driven by a 15% decrease in average selling prices, partially offset by a 4% increase in volumes. Sequentially, zircon revenue decreased 3%, driven by a 4% decrease in volumes, partially offset by a 1% increase in average selling prices including mix.
Revenue from other products was $82 million, a decline of 7% year-over-year primarily due to decreases in pig iron sales volumes and average selling prices. Sequentially, revenue from other products increased 1% primarily due to increased volumes across various products.
Net income attributable to Tronox in the quarter was $16 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to Tronox of $269 million, or a loss of $1.72 per diluted share in the year-ago period. Adjusted net income attributable to Tronox (non-GAAP) was $12 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA of $161 million represented a 4% decrease, driven primarily by headwinds from average selling prices and mix impacts, partially offset by tailwinds from improved production costs, higher sales volumes, and favorable freight costs and exchange rates. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.6%.
Sequentially, Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% due to improved production costs, higher TiO2 sales volumes and average selling prices, partially offset by headwinds from exchange rates.
The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were $74 million for the quarter, an increase of 1%. Tronox's net interest expense in the quarter was $40 million. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $72 million.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Free cash flow for the quarter was $84 million. Capital expenditures were $76 million, including investments in the Company's key capital projects to extend existing mines reaching their end of life and sustain the Company's vertical integration benefit. The Company returned $41 million to shareholders in the form of dividends in the quarter, reflecting payments for both first and second quarter declared dividends.
Sustainability
This week, Tronox published its 2023 sustainability report reinforcing previously established sustainability targets including: path to carbon neutrality by 2050 with scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity reduction targets of 50% by 2030 against a 2019 baseline and net zero by 2050; scope 3 emissions targets to decrease carbon emissions intensity by 9% by 2025 and 16% by 2030 against a 2021 baseline; and recommitting to eliminating waste to external landfills by 2050. The Company reduced its 2025 scope 1 and 2 target to 25% (from 35%) to align with the latest anticipated timing of its second renewable project in South Africa, now expected to come online by 2027. The report includes facts, figures and case studies that illustrate our ongoing commitment to sustainability and the strategic initiatives that will allow us to maintain our privilege to operate.
