Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
The Company The Company
Tronox Holdings plc (referred to herein as "Tronox", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") operates titanium-bearing mineral sand mines and beneficiation operations in Australia and South Africa to produce feedstock materials that can be processed into TiO2 for pigment, high purity titanium chemicals, including titanium tetrachloride, and Ultrafine© titanium dioxide used in certain specialty applications. Our strategy is to be vertically integrated and produce enough feedstock materials to be as self-sufficient as possible in the production of TiO2 at our nine pigment facilities located in the United States, Australia, Brazil, UK, France, the Netherlands, China and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”). We believe that vertical integration is the best way to achieve our ultimate goal of delivering low cost, high-quality pigment to our coatings and other TiO2 customers throughout the world. The mining, beneficiation and smelting of titanium bearing mineral sands creates meaningful quantities of zircon, pig iron and the rare-earth bearing mineral, monazite, which we also supply to customers around the world.

We are a public limited company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and are registered under the laws of England and Wales.

Basis of Presentation
We are considered a domestic company in the United Kingdom and, as such, are required to comply with filing requirements in the United Kingdom. Additionally, we are not considered a “foreign private issuer” in the U.S.; therefore, we are required to comply with the reporting and other requirements imposed by the U.S. securities law on U.S. domestic issuers, which, among other things, requires reporting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner and presentation in the current period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a change in estimate due to one or more future confirming events could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies
Foreign Currency
The U.S. dollar is our reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements in U.S. GAAP. We determine the functional currency of each subsidiary based on a number of factors, including the predominant currency for revenues, expenditures and borrowings. Adjustments from the remeasurement of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. When a subsidiary’s functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translation adjustments resulting from translating the functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollar equivalents are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Translation adjustments on intercompany foreign currency receivables and payables that are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as “Net sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accruals are made for sales returns, rebates and other allowances, which are recorded in “Net sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are based on our historical experience and current business conditions. Additionally, we have elected the practical
expedient to exclude sales taxes and similar taxes that we collect from customers on behalf of government authorities from the revenue transaction price. See Note 3.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes costs for purchasing, receiving, manufacturing, and distributing products, including raw materials, energy, labor, depreciation, depletion, shipping and handling, freight, warehousing, and other production costs.
Research and Development
Research and development costs, included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations comprised of salaries, building costs, utilities, administrative expenses, third party research, and allocations of corporate costs, were $14 million, $12 million, and $12 million during 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and were expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to marketing, research and development, agent commissions, and legal and administrative functions such as corporate management, human resources, information technology, investor relations, accounting, treasury, and tax compliance.
Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The estimation of the amounts of income taxes involves the interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations and how foreign taxes affect domestic taxes, as well as the analysis of the realizability of deferred tax assets, tax audit findings, and uncertain tax positions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We periodically assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and reflect any changes in our estimates in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), as appropriate. All available positive and negative evidence is weighed to determine whether a valuation allowance should be recorded.

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We assess our income tax positions, and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued as part of tax expense, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. See Note 5.
Fair Value Measurement
We measure fair value on a recurring basis utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and,
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities
See Note 15.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and money market accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk.
At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had restricted cash of approximately $1 million and less than $1 million, respectively. The amount at December 31, 2024 was in South Africa related to a profit-sharing arrangement as well as in Australia related to outstanding performance bonds. The amount at December 31, 2023 was in Australia related to outstanding performance bonds.
Accounts Receivable, net of allowance for credit losses
We perform credit evaluations of our customers, and take actions deemed appropriate to mitigate credit risk. Only in certain specific occasions do we require collateral in the form of bank or parent company guarantees or guarantee payments. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on specific customer review and current financial conditions.
Inventories, net
Pigment inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost and net realizable value, net of allowances for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Carrying values include material costs, labor, and associated indirect manufacturing expenses. Costs for materials and supplies, excluding titanium ore, are determined by average cost to acquire. Feedstock and co-products inventories including titanium ore are stated at the lower of the weighted-average cost of production or market. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding distribution costs. Raw materials are carried at actual cost.
We review the cost of our inventory in comparison to its net realizable value. We also periodically review our inventory for obsolescence. In either case, we record any write-down equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about alternative uses, market conditions and other factors. Inventories expected to be sold or consumed within twelve months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets and all other inventories are classified as non-current assets. See Note 8.
Long Lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method as follows:
Land improvements
10 — 20 years
Buildings
10 — 40 years
Machinery and equipment
2 — 25 years
Furniture and fixtures10 years
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of replacements or renewals that improve or extend the lives of existing properties, which are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective account, and any resulting gain or loss is included in “Cost of goods sold” or “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 9.
We capitalize costs associated with our asset retirement obligations which are generally included in machinery and equipment. See Note 17.
We capitalize interest costs on major projects that require an extended period of time to complete. See Note 13.
Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as tangible assets when management determines that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and anticipated exploration and development expenditures. Mineral leaseholds are depleted over their useful lives as determined under the units of production method. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property through the commencement of production are capitalized. See Note 10.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 3 to 20 years. See Note 11.
We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets that are held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under such circumstances, we assess whether the projected undiscounted cash flows of our long-lived assets are sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset group being assessed. If the undiscounted projected cash flows are not sufficient, we calculate the impairment amount by discounting the projected cash flows using our weighted-average cost of capital. For assets that satisfy the criteria to be classified as held for sale, an impairment loss, if any, is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds fair value, less cost to sell. The amount of the impairment of long-lived assets is written off against earnings in the period in which the impairment is determined.
Leases

We determine if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Our leases are primarily operating leases. Leased assets primarily include office buildings, rail cars and motor vehicles, forklifts, and other machinery and equipment. Our leases primarily have fixed lease payments, with real estate leases typically requiring additional payments for real estate taxes and occupancy-related costs. Certain of our leases also have variable lease payments. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index) are included in our initial measurement of the lease right of use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that are not index or rate based (such as variable payments based on our performance or use of the leased assets) are recorded as expenses when incurred and excluded from the measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Our leases typically have initial lease terms ranging from 1 to 25 years. Some of our lease agreements include options to renew, extend or early terminate the leases. Lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease, adjusted by the period covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease if we are reasonably certain to exercise (or not exercise) that option. Our operating leases typically do not contain purchase options we expect to exercise, residual value guarantees or other material covenants.

Operating leases are recorded under “Lease right of use assets”, “Short-term lease liabilities”, and “Long-term lease liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are recorded under “Property, plant and equipment net”, “Long-term debt due within one year”, and “Long-term debt” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are initially recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease payments for the initial measurement of lease ROU assets and lease liabilities include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index or a rate. Variable lease payments that are not index or rate based are recorded as expenses when incurred. Operating lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Finance lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and the lease terms. See Note 16.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt is stated net of unamortized original issue premium or discount. Premiums or discounts are amortized using the effective interest method with amortization expense recorded in “Interest and debt expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and are amortized using the effective interest method with amortization expense recorded in “Interest and debt expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 13.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations are recorded at their estimated fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at our credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, which are considered Level 3 inputs. We classify accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations as a production cost, which is included in “Cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17.
Environmental Remediation and Other Contingencies
We record an undiscounted liability when any of the following occur: 1) a claim or assessment has been asserted, 2) a litigation has commenced, or 3) based on available information, it is probable that a claim or an assessment will be asserted or a litigation will commence; and in addition, the outcome is expected to be unfavorable to us and the associated costs can be reasonably estimated. See Note 18.
Self-Insurance
We are self-insured for certain levels of general and vehicle liability, property, workers’ compensation and health care coverage. The cost of these self-insurance programs is accrued based upon estimated fully developed settlements for known and anticipated claims. Any resulting adjustments to previously recorded reserves are reflected in current operating results. We do not accrue for general or unspecific business risks.
Share-based Compensation
Equity Restricted Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards — The fair value of equity instruments is measured based on the share price on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period. These awards contain service, market, and/or performance conditions. For awards containing only a service or a market condition, we have elected to recognize compensation costs using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards containing a market condition, the fair value of the award is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation under a lattice model approach. For awards containing a performance condition, the fair value is the grant date close price and compensation expense is not recognized until we conclude that it is probable that the performance condition will be met. We reassess the probability at least quarterly. See Note 20.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans
We recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at the measurement date. The benefit obligation for the defined benefit plans is the projected benefit obligation (PBO), which represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on employee services already rendered and estimated future compensation levels. The benefit obligation for our postretirement benefit plans is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO), which represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. The fair value of plan assets related to our defined benefit plan represents the current market value of assets held in a trust fund, which is established for the sole benefit of plan participants.
If the fair value of plan assets exceeds the benefit obligation, the plan is overfunded, and the excess is recorded as a prepaid pension asset. On the other hand, if the benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, the plan is underfunded, and the deficit is recorded as pension and postretirement healthcare benefits obligation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The portion of the pension and postretirement healthcare obligations payable within the next 12 months is recorded in accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost represents the aggregation of service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits and actuarial gains or losses previously recognized as a component of OCI and it is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The service cost component of the net periodic service cost component is recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the employees’ respective functions. The remaining portion of the net periodic cost related to interest cost, expected return in plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits, and actuarial gains or losses is recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Actuarial gains or losses represents the effect of remeasurement on the benefit obligation principally driven by changes in the plan actuarial assumptions. Prior service costs or credits arise from plan amendments. The actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are initially recognized as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Those gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic cost.
The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic cost is based on estimates and assumptions approved by management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases and mortality rates.
Defined Contribution Plans — We recognize our contribution as expense when they are due. The expense is recorded in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the employees’ respective functions.
Multiemployer Plan — We treat our multiemployer plan like a defined contribution plan. A pension plan to which two or more unrelated employers contribute is generally considered to be a multiemployer plan. As a defined contribution plan, we recognize the contribution for the period as a net benefit cost and any contributions due and unpaid as a liability.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Revenue
Nature of Contracts and Performance Obligations
We primarily generate revenue from selling TiO2 pigment products and related co-products, primarily zircon and pig iron, to our customers. These products are used for the manufacture of paints, coatings, plastics, paper, and a wide range of other applications. We account for a contract with our customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.
Our promise in a contract typically relates to the transferring of a product or multiple distinct products that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer, representing a single performance obligation within a contract. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the products has transferred to the customer as contract fulfillment activities, rather than a separate performance obligation. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling activities continue to be reported as “Net sales” and related costs as “Cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The duration of our contract period is one year or less. As such, we have elected to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily consist of commissions paid to third-party sales agents, as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Furthermore, we have elected not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations at each period end, given the original expected duration of our contracts are one year or less.
Transaction Price
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring products to the customer. The transaction price typically consists of fixed cash consideration. We also offer various incentive programs to our customers, such as rebates, discounts, and other price adjustments that represent variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration and include such consideration amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration we expect to receive changes
or when the consideration becomes fixed. Sales returns rarely happen in our business; therefore, it is unlikely that a significant reversal of revenue will occur.
Sales and similar taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities are excluded from the transaction price for the determination of revenue. The expected costs associated with product warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. Customer payment terms and conditions vary by contract and customer, although the timing of revenue recognition typically does not differ from the timing of invoicing. Additionally, as we generally do not grant extended payment terms, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time.
Contract Balances
Contract assets represent our rights to consideration in exchange for products that have transferred to a customer when the right is conditional on situations other than the passage of time. For products that we have transferred to our customers, our rights to the consideration are typically unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payments become due. These unconditional rights are recorded as accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we did not have material contract asset balances.
Contract liabilities represent our obligations to transfer products to a customer for which we have received consideration from the customer. When a customer has poor credit worthiness, we may receive advance payment that is accounted for as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is earned when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is typically within a short period of time from when we received the advanced payment. Contract liability balances as of both December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were less than $1 million. Contract liability balances were reported as “Accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All material contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were recognized as revenue in “Net sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2023, respectively.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We operate under one operating and reportable segment, Tronox. See Note 23 for details. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by product type and geographic area. We believe this level of disaggregation appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and reflects how our business is managed.
Net sales to external customers by geographic areas where our customers are located were as follows:

Tronox Holdings plc is a U.K. public limited company and the parent company for the business group. The statutory tax rate in the U.K. at December 31, 2024 was 25%, 25% at December 31, 2023 and 19% at December 31, 2022. The statutory rate in the U.K. changed to 25% effective April 1, 2023 and a weighted average rate of 23.5% was applied for the full year 2023.

The effective tax rates in 2024, 2023 and 2022 are all influenced by a variety of factors, primarily income and losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, changes in tax rates, non-taxable income and expenses, prior year accruals, and rates different than the United Kingdom statutory rate. The valuation allowances in each year were impacted by items other than income and losses as follows: 2024 was impacted by recording valuation allowances in Brazil and the Netherlands, 2023 was impacted by recording valuation allowances in China and Australia and 2022 was impacted by releasing a valuation allowance in Australia.
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were comprised of the following:

The net deferred tax assets reflected in the above table include deferred tax assets related to grantor trusts, which were established as Tronox Incorporated emerged from bankruptcy during 2011. The balances relate to the assets contributed to such grantor trusts by Tronox Incorporated and the proceeds from the resolution of previous litigation of $5.2 billion during 2014, which resulted in additional deferred tax assets of $2.0 billion. As the grantor trusts continue to spend funds received from the litigation and earn income from the investment of those funds, the U.S. net operating loss will increase or decrease.
There was an increase to our valuation allowance of $91 million and $333 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively. The table below sets forth the changes, by jurisdiction:

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we identified negative evidence concerning our ability to realize our deferred tax assets in Brazil and the Netherlands. This evidence primarily relates to operational losses generated during the year, a three-year cumulative loss threshold crossed during the year, and fluctuating levels of income and expenses which have led to uncertainty regarding the ability to generate net income in these regions for the foreseeable future. After weighing all the positive and negative evidence, we determined it is more likely than not that Brazil and the Netherlands deferred tax assets may not be
realized. As a result, we recorded non-cash charges of $16 million and $33 million to tax expense for Brazil and the Netherlands, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified negative evidence concerning our ability to realize the net balance of our Australia group deferred tax assets. This evidence primarily relates to losses generated during the year and uncertainty regarding the region's ability to generate income in the near term. After weighing all the positive and negative evidence, we determined that it is more likely than not that the Australia deferred tax assets may not be realized. As a result, we recorded a $293 million non-cash charge to tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company has a Swiss entity acquired in the Cristal transaction that had net operating loss carryovers. During the year ended December 31, 2023, a majority of these losses expired unused because the Swiss entity no longer has significant income-generating activities. A valuation allowance was previously carried against these losses and is no longer required.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had determined that sufficient positive evidence existed to reverse a portion of the valuation allowance in Australia. This reversal resulted in a non-cash deferred tax benefit of $300 million. Our analysis considered all positive and negative evidence, including (i) three years of cumulative income of our Australian subsidiaries, (ii) our continuing and improved profitability over the last twelve months, (iii) estimates of continued profitability based on updated to our latest forecasts, (iv) changes in the factors that drove losses in the past, and (v) an evaluation of specific deferred tax assets for limitations under certain Australian tax provisions. Based on this analysis, we concluded that it is more likely than not that our Australian subsidiaries will be able to utilize all of their deferred tax assets except for those which are classified as Capital Gains Tax (CGT) assets.
At December 31, 2024, we continue to maintain full valuation allowances related to the total net deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom, as we cannot objectively assert that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future provisions for income taxes in Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom will include no tax benefits with respect to losses incurred and tax expense only to the extent of current tax payments until the valuation allowances are eliminated. Additionally, we have valuation allowances against specific tax assets in China, South Africa and the U.S.
The deferred tax assets generated by tax loss carryforwards in Australia, Brazil, China, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have been fully offset by valuation allowances. In the United States, the deferred tax assets generated by tax loss carryforwards are partially offset by a valuation allowance to the extent they are subject to expiration. The expiration of tax loss carryforwards at December 31, 2024 are shown below. The tax loss carryforwards in Australia, Brazil, France, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom do not expire.

At December 31, 2024, Tronox Holdings plc had foreign subsidiaries with undistributed earnings. Although we would not be subject to income tax on these earnings, amounts totaling $600 million are in specific jurisdictions which we assert are indefinitely reinvested outside of the parents' taxing jurisdictions. These amounts could be subject to withholding tax if distributed, but the Company has made no provision for tax related to these undistributed earnings. The Company has removed its assertion that earnings in China are indefinitely reinvested, and the withholding tax accruals for potential repatriations from that jurisdiction are now reflected in the effective tax rate reconciliation above.
The noncurrent liabilities section of our Consolidated Balance Sheet does not reflect any reserves for uncertain tax positions for either 2024 or 2023.
Our France returns are closed through 2021. Our China and U.S. returns are closed through 2020. Our Brazil, Netherlands and South Africa returns are closed through 2019. Our Australia returns are held open from 2019 and our U.K. returns are held open from 2020 for tax audits.
We believe that we have made adequate provision for income taxes that may be payable with respect to years open for examination; however, the ultimate outcome is not presently known and, accordingly, additional provisions may be necessary and/or reclassifications of noncurrent tax liabilities to current may occur in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the United Kingdom enacted legislation consistent with guidance from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") for the implementation of Pillar Two, effective in 2024. Additionally, various other jurisdictions have now implemented Domestic Minimum Taxes which are also effective for 2024. Neither the UK Multinational Top-up Tax nor any jurisdiction's Domestic Minimum Tax have an impact on our income tax provisions for 2024.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]  
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
On March 15, 2022, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (“Securitization Facility”) with a financial institution ("Purchaser"), through our wholly-owned special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary Tronox Securitization LLC (“ SPE”). The purpose of this program is to enhance the Company's financial flexibility by providing
additional liquidity. The Securitization Facility permitted the SPE to sell accounts receivable up to $75 million (the “Facility
Limit”). Under the Securitization Facility, our wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary, Tronox LLC (“Originator”), sells its
entire accounts receivable on a periodic basis to the SPE. The SPE in turn sells undivided interests in the receivables that meet
certain eligibility criteria, pursuant to the terms of a receivable purchase agreement, to the Purchaser in exchange for cash, not to
exceed the Facility Limit. The SPE retains the remaining receivables as unsold receivables which are pledged as a collateral for
the sold receivables to which the purchaser is granted a first priority security interest.
Following the sale of the receivables by the Originator to the SPE, the receivables are legally isolated from Tronox and its affiliated entities, and upon the subsequent sale and transfer of the receivables from the SPE to the administrative agent, effective
control of the receivables is passed to the purchaser, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. Any new receivables that are not sold to the purchaser by the SPE are added to the unsold receivables held as collateral.
In November 2022, the Securitization Facility was amended (the "First Amendment") to include receivables generated by our wholly-owned Australian operating subsidiaries, Tronox Pigment Pty Ltd., Tronox Pigment Bunbury Ltd. and Tronox Mining Australia Ltd. which increased the Facility Limit to $200 million and extended the program term to November 2025. Following this amendment, we sold additional accounts receivable in exchange for net cash proceeds of $72 million, for a total aggregate amount of $147 million for the combined program.
In June 2023, the Company entered into an additional amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to further include receivables generated by our wholly-owned European operating subsidiaries Tronox Pigment Holland BV and Tronox Pigment UK Limited. Neither the facility limit nor the program term were changed as a result of the Second Amendment, which remained at $200 million and November 2025, respectively. As a result of the Second Amendment, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $1 million of transaction costs, which are recorded in "Other income (expense), net" in our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In March 2024, we entered into a Securitization Facility technical amendment (the "Third Amendment"), to increase the
percentage of certain receivables eligible for sale to the Purchaser. In April 2024, we again amended the Securitization
Facility (the "Fourth Amendment"), to increase the Facility Limit from $200 million to $230 million.
As the Company does not maintain effective control over the sold receivables, we derecognize the sold receivables from our
Consolidated Balance Sheet and classify the cash proceeds as source of cash from operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The program is structured on a revolving basis under which cash collections from receivables are used to fund additional
purchases of receivables at 100% face value, not to exceed the facility limit. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total value of accounts receivable sold under the Securitization Facility and derecognized from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet was $215 million and $186 million, respectively. This resulted in the Company recording $15 million and $5 million within "Accounts payable" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as this amount is due to the Purchaser as a result of a periodic decrease in accounts receivable sold to the Purchaser, which was paid in January 2025 and January 2024, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we retained $109 million and $129 million of unsold receivables that we pledged as collateral for the sold receivables.
The following table sets forth a summary of the receivables sold and fees incurred under the program during the related periods:

Term Loan Facility and Cash Flow Revolver
On March 11, 2021, Tronox Finance LLC (the "Borrower", the Borrower's indirect parent company, Tronox Holdings plc (the "Company"), and certain of the Company's subsidiaries, entered into an amendment and restatement of its then existing senior secured first lien term loan credit facility dated as of September 22, 2017 pursuant to which, among other things, the Borrower amended and restated such existing credit facility with a new amended and restated senior secured first lien credit agreement dated as of September 22, 2017 (as amended through and including March 11, 2021, the "New Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The New Credit Agreement provided the Borrower with (a) a new seven-year term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") in an aggregate initial principal amount of $1.3 billion and (b) new five-year cash flow revolving facility (the "Cash Flow Revolver") providing initial revolving commitments of $350 million and a sublimit of $125 million for letters of credit. The maturity date on the Term Loan Facility and the Cash Flow Revolver was March 11, 2028 and March 11, 2026, respectively.
Subject to certain customary and other exceptions, the obligations of the Borrower under the New Credit Agreement were (a) guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and certain of the Company's restricted subsidiaries, and (b) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Borrower's and gurantors' assets, including inventory, receivables and related assets, and equipment, equity interests in subsidiaries, and material real property, in each case subject to certain limitations and principles.
In June 2023, in anticipation of Reference Rate Reform, we amended our interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility and Cash Flow Revolver from LIBOR to SOFR pursuant to the New Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"). The Term Loan Facility and Cash Flow Revolver bore interest at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, at the Company's discretion, in each case plus an applicable margin.
Commencing June 30, 2021, the Cash Flow Revolver contained a springing financial covenant when a loan amount is drawn exceeding 35% of the Cash Flow Revolver. In this instance, the first lien net leverage ratio shall not exceed 4.75x at quarter end testing period.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we drew down $133 million on our Cash Flow Revolver and repaid $103 million as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there was $30 million outstanding revolving credit loans (recorded within "Short-term debt" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet) under the Cash Flow Revolver, which was fully repaid during the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, there was $7 million of issued and undrawn letters of credit under the Cash Flow
Revolver as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, in connection with the sale of the Hawkins Point Plant (refer to Note 18 - Commitments & Contingencies for further details), in December 2022, a $50 million undrawn letter of credit was issued as a bi-lateral, stand-alone arrangement. Debt issuance costs associated with the Cash Flow Revolver of $1 million were included in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023, and were amortized over the life of the Cash Flow Revolver.
In August 2024 and September 2024, we refinanced the Cash Flow Revolver and the Term Loan Facility, respectively, with the New Cash Flow Revolver and the 2024-B Term Loan Facility as discussed below.

2022 Term Loan Facility

On April 4, 2022, the Borrower, the Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, the incremental term lender party thereto, and HSBC Bank USA. National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, entered into Amendment No. 1 to the New Credit Agreement (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment provided the Borrower with a new seven-year incremental term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan Facility" and, the loans thereunder, the "2022 Incremental Term Loans") under the New Credit Agreement in an aggregate initial principal amount of $400 million.

The obligations of the Borrower under the 2022 Term Loan Facility were guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the New Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Facility (as discussed above). The 2022 Incremental Term Loans were a separate class of loans under the credit agreement, and if the Borrower elected to make an optional prepayment under the credit agreement or was required to make a mandatory prepayment under the credit agreement, the Borrower, may have, in each case, selected which class or classes of loans to prepay.

The 2022 Incremental Term Loans amortized in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans commencing with the second full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the 2022 Incremental Term Loan Facility. The final maturity of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans was to occur on the seventh anniversary of the effective date of the 2022 Incremental Term Loan Facility. The 2022 Incremental Term Loan Facility permitted amendments thereto whereby individual lenders may have extended the maturity date of their outstanding loans upon the Borrower's request without the consent of any other lender, so long as certain conditions were met.

The 2022 Incremental Term Loans bore interest, at the Borrower's option, at either the base or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the 2022 Incremental Loans was 2.25% per annum, for base rate loans, or 3.25% per annum, for SOFR rate loans. The 2022 Incremental Term Loans had an interest rate floor of 0.50%.

The 2022 Incremental Term Loan Facility contained the same negative covenants applicable to the term loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment, which covenants, subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (among other restrictions): incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents).

The proceeds of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans were used on April 4, 2022, along with cash on hand, to redeem previous senior notes of $500 million. As a result of this transaction, we recognized approximately $21 million, including a call premium of $18 million, in "Loss on extinguishment of debt" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance was $393 million, of which $4 million was recorded within "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In May 2024, the 2022 Term Loan Facility was refinanced, along with the 2023 Term Loan Facility, with the 2024 Term Loan Facility (as discussed below).

2023 Term Loan Facility

In August 2023, the Borrower, the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, the incremental term lender party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, entered into Amendment No. 3 to the New Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment provided the Borrower with a new five-year incremental term loan facility ("the 2023 Term Loan Facility" and, the loans thereunder, the "2023 Incremental Term Loans") under the New Credit Agreement in an aggregate initial principal amount of $350 million. A portion of the proceeds of the 2023 Term Loan Facility were used to repay $159 million of then-outstanding borrowings under the Company's existing revolving credit facilities and to enhance available liquidity for upcoming capital expenditures.

The obligations of the Borrower under the 2023 Term Loan Facility were guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the New Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Facility and 2022 Term Loan Facility (as discussed above). The 2023 Incremental Term Loans were a separate class of loans under the credit agreement, and if the Borrower elected to make
an optional prepayment under the credit agreement or was required to make a mandatory prepayment under the credit agreement, the Borrower, may have, in each case, selected which class or classes of loans to prepay.

The 2023 Incremental Term Loans amortized in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the 2023 Incremental Term Loans commencing with the second full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the 2023 Incremental Term Loan Facility. The final maturity of the 2023 Incremental Term Loans was to occur on August 16, 2028. The 2023 Incremental Term Loan Facility permitted amendments thereto whereby individual lenders may have extended the maturity date of their outstanding loans upon the Borrower’s request without the consent of any other lender, so long as certain conditions were met.

The 2023 Incremental Term Loans bore interest, at the Borrower's option, at either the base or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the 2023 Incremental Term Loans was 2.50% per annum for base rate loans, or 3.50% per annum for SOFR rate loans. The 2023 Incremental Term Loans had an interest rate floor of 0.50%.

The 2023 Incremental Term Loan Facility contained the same negative covenants applicable to the term loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Third Amendment, which covenants, subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (among other restrictions): incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents).

As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance was $350 million, of which $4 million was recorded within "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In May 2024, the 2023 Term Loan Facility was refinanced, along with the 2022 Term Loan Facility, with the 2024 Term Loan Facility (as discussed below).

2024 Term Loan Facility

On May 1, 2024, Tronox Finance LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect subsidiary of Tronox Holdings plc (the “Company”), together with the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 4 (the "2024 Amendment") to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) with the term lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The 2024 Amendment provides the Borrower with a new five-year incremental term loan facility ("the 2024 Term Loan Facility" and the loan thereunder, the "2024 Term Loans") in an aggregate initial principal amount of $741 million under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2021 (as amended through the date hereof, the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, the Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto from time to time and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The 2024 Term Loan Facility was used to refinance in full the Company's outstanding 2022 Term Loan Facility and the 2023 Term Loan Facility.

The obligations of the Borrower under the 2024 Term Loan Facility are guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the Credit Agreement prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment. The 2024 Term Loan Facility is a separate class of loans under the Credit Agreement, and if the Borrower elects to make an optional payment under the Credit Agreement or is required to make a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, in each case, select which class or classes of loans to prepay.

The 2024 Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan Facility commencing with the second full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the 2024 Term Loan Facility. The final maturity of the 2024 Term Loan Facility will occur on April 4, 2029. The 2024 Term Loan Facility permits amendments thereto whereby individual lenders may extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans upon the Borrower's request without the consent of any other lender, so long as certain conditions are met. The 2024 Term Loan Facility shall bear interest, at the Borrower's option, at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the 2024 Term Loan Facility is 1.75% per annum for base rate loans or 2.75% per annum for SOFR rate loans.

The 2024 Term Loan Facility contains the same negative covenants applicable to the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment, which covenants, subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (among other restrictions): incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents).

On December 18, 2024, the Borrower, together with the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 7 (the "Repricing Agreement") with the term lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Repricing Amendment amended the 2024 Term Loan Facility by (i) reducing the applicable rate per annum applicable thereto by 50 basis points to 1.25% per annum for base rate loans or 2.25% per annum
for SOFR rate loans and (ii) implementing certain mechanical and other related changes. As of December 31, 2024, the applicable margin under the 2024 Term Loan Facility was 2.25%. As of December 31, 2024, the total outstanding principal balance was $741 million, of which $6 million is recorded within "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Amendment No. 6 provides the Borrower with a new seven-year incremental term loan facility (the "2024-B Term Loan Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $902 million. The proceeds of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility was used to refinance in full all of the outstanding amounts of the existing Term Loan Facility.

The obligations of the Borrower under the 2024-B Term Loan Facility are guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the Credit Agreement prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 6. The 2024-B Term Loan Facility is a separate class of loans under the Credit Agreement, and if the Borrower elects to make an optional payment under the Credit Agreement or is required to make a mandatory prepayment under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, in each case, select which class or classes of loans to prepay.

The 2024-B Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the 2024-B Term Loans commencing with the second full fiscal quarter after the effective date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility. The final maturity of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility will occur on September 30, 2031. The 2024-B Refinancing Facility permits amendments thereto whereby individual lenders may extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans upon the Borrower’s request without the consent of any other lender, so long as certain conditions are met. The 2024-B Term Loans shall bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility is 1.5% per annum for base rate loans or 2.5% per annum for SOFR rate loans.

If an event of default occurs under the 2024-B Term Loan Facility, then a majority of the lenders through the administrative agent, may (a) declare the 2024-B Term Loan Facility (and all other loans) to be immediately due and payable and/or (b) foreclose on the collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

As a result of this transaction, we recognized approximately $2 million in "Loss on extinguishment of debt" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the total outstanding principal balance was $902 million, of which $9 million is recorded within "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Senior Notes due 2029
On March 15, 2021, Tronox Incorporated closed an offering of $1,075 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% senior notes due 2029 (the "Senior Notes due 2029"). The notes were offered at par and issued under an indenture dated as of March 15, 2021 among the Company and certain of the Company's restricted subsidiaries as guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association. The Senior Notes due 2029 provide, among other thing, that the Senior Notes due 2029 are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company's restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Notes due 2029 and related guarantees are the senior obligations of the Company and the guarantors. The Senior Notes due 2029 have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration requirements. The terms of the indenture, among other things, limit, in certain circumstances, the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur secured indebtedness, incur indebtedness at a non-guarantor subsidiary, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of their assets.

Standard Bank Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility
On October 1, 2021, Tronox Minerals Sands Proprietary Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment and restatement of a new credit facility with Standard Bank. The new credit facility provided the Company with (a) a new five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of R1.5 billion (approximately $98 million) (the "Standard Bank Term Loan Facility") and (b) a new three-year revolving credit facility (the "Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility") providing initial revolving commitments of R1.0 billion (approximately $55 million). The maturity date on the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility and the Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility was November 11, 2026 and October 1, 2024, respectively. The Standard Bank Term Loan Facility had a delayed draw feature up to thirty business days from the effective date of the executed credit agreement. Mandatory capital repayments of R37.5 million (approximately $2 million) were scheduled quarterly with the first mandatory repayment which started in December 2021. Both the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility and the Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at an adjusted JIBAR rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin on the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility was 2.35%. The applicable margin on the Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility was based upon average credit utilization during any interest period. If the revolving credit facility utilization was less than 33%, less than 66% but greater than 33%, or greater than 66%, the applicable margin was 2.10%, 2.25%, and 2.40%, respectively.

Pursuant to the credit agreement, on November 11, 2021, the Company drew down the total outstanding principal balance of R1.5 billion (approximately $98 million) on the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance was R1.2 billion (approximately $64 million), of which R150 million (approximately $8 million) was recorded within "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we drew down R650 million (approximately $36 million) under the Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes and fully repaid the outstanding amount during the year.

In August 2024, we refinanced the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility and the Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility as is discussed below under "RMB Term Loan Facility and RMB Revolving Credit Facility".

RMB Term Loan Facility and RMB Revolving Credit Facility

On August 16, 2024, Tronox Minerals Sands Proprietary Limited and Tronox KZN Sands Proprietary Limited, wholly- owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into Amendment No. 2 (“the Amendment”) and restatement of a credit facility with RMB, that supersedes and replaces the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility and the Standard Bank Revolving Credit Facility in their entirety. The amended credit facility provides the Company with (a) a new five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of R1.1 billion (approximately $58 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) (the "RMB Term Loan Facility") and (b) a new three-year revolving credit facility (the "RMB Revolving Credit Facility") providing an increase of the revolving commitments of R1.2 billion (approximately $63 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate). The maturity date on the RMB Term Loan Facility and the RMB Revolving Credit Facility is August 16, 2029 and August 16, 2027, respectively. Mandatory capital repayments of R37.5 million (approximately $2 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) are scheduled quarterly with the first mandatory repayment starting in March 31, 2025.

Both the RMB Term Loan Facility and RMB Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest at an adjusted JIBAR rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin on the RMB Term Loan Facility is 2.35%. The applicable margin on the RMB Revolving Credit Facility is based upon average credit utilization during any interest period. If the revolving credit facility utilization is less than 33%, less than 66% but greater than 33%, or greater than 66%, the applicable margin is 1.95%, 2.10%, and 2.25%, respectively. The RMB Revolving Credit Facility requires the borrower to pay customary agency fees.

As of December 31, 2024, we drewdown 400 million ZAR (approximately $21 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) on the RMB Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, which is recorded in "Short-term debt" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of February 17, 2025, the outstanding principal balance on the RMB Revolving Credit Facility was 600 million ZAR (approximately $32 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate).

Australian Government Loan

We maintain an interest-free loan with the Australian government (“Australian Government Loan”) that is subject to renewal every 5 years and is contingent on renewal of our Australind site leases with final maturity in December 2036. The loan balance due upon maturity is AUD 6 million (approximately $4 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate). At December 31, 2024, the discounted value on the Australian Government Loan was approximately AUD 2 million (approximately $1 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate).

MGT Loan
On December 17, 2020, we completed our agreement with Cristal to acquire certain assets co-located at our Yanbu facility which produce metal grade TiCl4 (“MGT”) in exchange for a $36 million note payable. Repayment of the note payable is based on a fixed U.S. dollar per metric ton quantity of MGT delivered by us to Advanced Metal Industries Cluster and Toho Titanium Metal Co. Ltd (ATTM) over time and therefore the ultimate maturity date is variable in nature. If ATTM fails to purchase MGT from us under certain contractually agreed upon conditions, then at our election we may terminate the MGT supply agreement with ATTM and will no longer owe any amount under the loan agreement with Cristal. We currently estimate the ultimate maturity to be between approximately five to six years, subject to actual future MGT production levels. The interest rate is based on the Saudi Arabian Interbank Offered Rate (“SAIBOR”) plus a premium. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the note payable was $19 million, of which $7 million is expected to be paid within the next twelve months (recorded within "Long-term debt due within one year" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet). Refer to Note 22 for further information on the MGT transaction.

Short-term Debt
Cash Flow Revolver
For a description of the Cash Flow Revolver, see details above under "Term Loan Facility and Cash Flow Revolver".
New Cash Flow Revolver

On August 15, 2024, the Borrower (as defined above), together with the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries, entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement (as defined above) with the revolving lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Amendment No. 5 provides for a $350 million replacement revolving loan facility (the "New Cash Flow Revolver") which refinanced and replaced the Borrower's existing $350 million revolving loan facility (the "Cash Flow Revolver").

The obligations of the Borrower under the New Cash Flow Revolver are guaranteed and secured by the same guarantees and liens under the Credit Agreement prior to the effective date of Amendment No. 5. The New Cash Flow Revolver is a separate class of loans under the Credit Agreement.

The maturity date of the New Cash Flow Revolver will occur on the earlier of (a) August 15, 2029 and (b) the Springing Maturity Date. The Springing Maturity Date is defined under the Credit Agreement as the earlier of the date that is 91 days prior to (i) the scheduled maturity date of the Borrower's 2028 term loans if on such date the outstanding amount of 2028 term loans is greater than $200 million, (ii) the scheduled maturity date of the Borrower's 2029 term loans if on such date the outstanding amount of 2029 term loans is greater than $200 million, (iii) the stated maturity date of the Senior Unsecured 2029 if on such date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured 2029 Notes is greater than $200 million, and (iv) the stated maturity date of certain debt-for-borrowed money (excluding debt issued under the Borrower's inside maturity date basket and certain other debt baskets under the Credit Agreement) incurred after the date of Amendment No. 5 if on such date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such debt-for-borrowed money is greater than $200 million.

The New Cash Flow Revolver shall bear interest, at the Borrower's option, at either the base rate or the SOFR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin in respect of the New Cash Flow Revolver shall be determined based on the Borrower's first lien net leverage ratio as of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter and shall range from 1.25% to 0.75% per annum for base rate loans or 2.25% to 1.75% per annum for SOFR rate loans. As of December 31, 2024, the applicable margin on the New Cash Flow Revolver was 2.25%.

The New Cash Flow Revolver contains substantially the same negative covenants applicable to the existing Cash Flow Revolver, which covenants, subject to certain limitations, thresholds and exceptions, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (among other restrictions): incur indebtedness; grant liens; pay dividends and make subsidiary and certain other distributions; sell assets; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and make certain modifications to material documents (including organizational documents). The New Cash Flow Revolver contains the same springing financial covenant that was applicable to the existing Cash Flow Revolver. The New Cash Flow Revolver also contains substantially the same representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default applicable to the existing Cash Flow Revolver. If an event of default occurs under the New Cash Flow Revolver, then a majority of the lenders acting through the administrative agent, may (a) declare the New Term Loans (and all other loans) to be immediately due and payable and/or (b) foreclose on the collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

As a result of this transaction, we recorded less than $1 million in "Loss on extinguishment of debt" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we drewdown $33 million on the new Cash Flow Revolver, which is recorded in "Short-term debt" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Debt issuance costs associated with the new Cash Flow Revolver of $2 million were included in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2024, and were amortized over the life of the new Cash Flow Revolver. The average effective interest rate on the new Cash Flow Revolver was 6.6% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of February 17, 2025, the total outstanding principal balance on the new Cash Flow Revolver was $11 million.
Additionally, there is $12 million of issued and undrawn letters of credit under the new Cash Flow Revolver as of December 31, 2024. Additionally, the undrawn letter of credit that was issued as a bi-lateral, stand-alone arrangement in connection with the sale of the Hawkins Point Plant (as discussed above under "Term Loan Facility and Cash Flow Revolver") had an outstanding balance of $47 million as of December 31, 2024.

The SABB Facility bears interest at the Saudi Inter Bank Offered Rate plus 180 basis points on outstanding balances. In November 2023, the Company amended the agreement which amongst other things, extended the maturity date of the SABB Credit Facility from November 30, 2023 to November 30, 2024 and increased the facility limit to SAR 75 million (approximately $20 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate). During the year ended December 31, 2023, we drew down SAR 16 million (approximately $4 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) under the SABB Facility for general corporate purposes and fully repaid the outstanding amount as of December 31, 2023. In December 2024, the Company amended the agreement to extend the maturity date of the SABB Credit Facility to December 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

During the second quarter of 2019, we entered into interest-rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $750 million representing a portion of our Term Loan Facility, which effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the loan. The agreements were to expire in September 2024.

On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into amendments to two of our existing interest rate swap agreements with the counterparty banks. As a result of these amendments, the Company terminated two of our existing interest rate swap contracts which were indexed to LIBOR with an aggregate notional value of $500 million which had maturity dates of September 2024. At the time of these amendments, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $11 million on the interest rate swaps prior to the amendments are being amortized into interest expense through September 22, 2024, the original maturity of the interest rate swap agreements.

We simultaneously entered into two SOFR-indexed forward starting interest rate swaps with the same counterparty banks with no change to the aggregate notional value. The forward starting swaps became effective in June 2023 and will mature in March 2028 which is aligned with the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Indexing forward starting swaps to SOFR also ensured that the reference rates in our hedge instruments are now aligned with the interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility which also changed from LIBOR to SOFR in June 2023 in anticipation of Reference Rate Reform and pursuant to the loan agreement. We elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients in ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting related to the following: 1) the assertion that the future forecasted transaction is still probable of occurring despite reference rate changes and 2) the assumption that the index of the future hedged transactions will match the index of the corresponding hedge instruments for the assessment of effectiveness.

Additionally, on March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap with a $200 million notional value which matures in March 2028 and effectively converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility.

On May 17, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with the counterparty bank to amend the remaining $250 million notional of the three original interest rate swap contracts of $750 million aggregate notional value. As a result of this amendment, the Company changed the rate indexed in the contract from LIBOR to SOFR, effective June 30, 2023 in anticipation of the Reference Rate Reform and to align the index rate in this contract to that in the Term Loan Facility, as described above. This amendment did not change the notional value and the expiration date of this contract, which is set to expire in September 2024. We completed a hedge effectiveness test as a result of this amendment and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.
As a result of the 2024 Amendment (discussed in Note 13), the Company noted that the hedged transaction associated with the interest rate swap with a notional value of $200 million (which converted the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility) had changed as the hedged transaction would now convert the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the 2024 Term Loan Facility. There were no amendments to the terms of the $200 million interest rate swap, including the notional value, index rate, or expiration date as a result of the 2024 Amendment. However, given the change in the hedged transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument continues to be highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to continue to apply hedge accounting over the remaining term of this hedge relationship.

In line with the original maturity date, one of the interest rate swap agreements (notional value of $250 million) expired in September 2024. As a result of this, on September 26, 2024, the Company entered into two new interest-rate swap agreements for a notional of $125 million each with two counterparty banks, for an aggregate notional of $250 million. These new agreements are effective as of September 30, 2024 and will mature on September 30, 2031, in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility following Amendment No.6 (discussed in Note 13). The Company has designated these two new hedges as cash flow hedges with the objective of ensuring that the Company continues to achieve the offsetting effect to the interest rate volatility associated with the $250 million portion of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility.
Additionally, on September 26, 2024, the counterparty bank associated with one of the existing interest rate swap contracts (notional value of $250 million) novated its rights and obligations in the interest rate swap contracts to a new counterparty. No other terms and conditions of the interest rate swap contract were impacted by this transaction. We also determined that it is probable the new counterparty will perform its obligations under the interest rate swap agreements. However, following the novation, the Company terminated the existing interest rate swap agreement and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with the new counterparty bank with an effective date of September 30, 2024 and expiring on September 30, 2031 (in line with the maturity date of the 2024-B Term Loan Facility). At the time of this change, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged are still probable to occur, therefore, the gains accumulated of $3 million on the previous interest rate swap are being amortized into interest expense through March 11, 2028, the original maturity of the previous term loan agreement. As a result of this transaction, we completed a hedge effectiveness test and determined that this hedge instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows related to the hedged transaction, enabling us to apply hedge accounting over the term of the new hedge relationship.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintains a total of $950 million of interest rate swaps (with $450 million maturing in March 2028 and $500 million maturing in September 2031) with the objective in using the interest-rate swap agreements to add stability to interest expense and to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the amounts recorded in interest expense related to the interest-rate swap agreements were $26 million, $26 million and $4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the net unrealized gain was $26 million and the unrealized gain was $18 million, respectively, and was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Foreign Currency Risk

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted third party non-functional currency sales for our South African subsidiaries. From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts used to hedge forecasted non-functional currency cost of goods sold and forecasted non-functional currency selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") for our Australian subsidiaries. These foreign currency contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes to the fair value of these foreign currency contracts are recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income, if these contracts remain highly effective, and are recognized in net sales, costs of goods sold or SG&A expenses in the period in which the forecasted transaction affects earnings or are recognized in other income (expense), net when the transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

As of December 31, 2024, we had 516 million Australian dollars (or approximately $319 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) and 26 million Australian dollars (or approximately $16 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) outstanding amounts to reduce the exposure of our Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales and SG&A expenses, respectively, to fluctuations in currency rates, and we had no outstanding amounts to reduce the exposure of our South African subsidiaries' third
party sales to fluctuations in currency rates. At December 31, 2024, there was a net loss of $14 million ($13 million unrealized and less than $1 million realized) recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $8 million is expected to be fully recognized in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2025.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts for the South African Rand, Australian Dollar, Euro, Pound Sterling and Saudi Riyal to reduce exposure of our subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts not denominated in our subsidiaries’ functional currency to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Historically, we have used forward contracts to reduce the exposure. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency contracts are not considered hedges. The change in fair value associated with these contracts is recorded in “Other income (expense), net” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and partially offsets the change in value of third party and intercompany-related receivables not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary. At December 31, 2024, there was (i) 1.4 billion South African Rand (or approximately $73 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate), (ii) 113 million Australian dollars (or approximately $70 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate), (iii) 34 million Pound Sterling (or approximately $42 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate, (iv) 91 million Euro (or approximately $94 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) and (v) 71 million Saudi Riyal (or approximately $19 million at the December 31, 2024 exchange rate) of notional amount of outstanding foreign currency contracts.

We determined the fair value of the Term Loan Facility, the 2022 Term Loan Facility, the 2023 Term Loan Facility, the 2024 Term Loan Facility, the 2024-B Term Loan Facility and the Senior Notes due 2029 using quoted market prices, which under the fair value hierarchy is a Level 1 input. We determined the fair value of the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility and the RMB Term Loan Facility utilizing transactions in the listed markets for similar liabilities, which under the fair value hierarchy is a Level 2 input. The fair value of the Australian Government Loan and MGT Loan is based on the contracted amount which is a Level 2 input.
We determined the fair value of the foreign currency contracts, natural gas hedges, and the interest rate swaps using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. The fair value hierarchy for the foreign currency contracts, natural gas hedges, and interest rate swaps is a Level 2 input.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

Environmental Rehabilitation Scheme
In accordance with applicable regulations, we established an environmental rehabilitation scheme for the prospecting and mining operations in South Africa, which receives, holds, and invests funds for the rehabilitation or management of asset retirement obligations. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total value of the assets held in the environmental rehabilitation
scheme were $16 million and $15 million, respectively, which were recorded in “Other long-term assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase and Capital Commitments—At December 31, 2024, purchase commitments were $395 million for 2025, $212 million for 2026, $187 million for 2027, $313 million for 2028, $159 million for 2029, and $2,165 million thereafter.
Letters of Credit—At December 31, 2024, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $131 million, of which $59 million were letters of credit (inclusive of $47 million related to the sale of Hawkins Point as discussed below) and $72 million were bank guarantees. Amounts for performance bonds were not material.

Environmental Matters— It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical, regulatory or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our recorded liabilities. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flows. The timing of cash expenditures depends principally on the timing of remedial investigations and feasibility studies, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.  Included in these environmental matters are the following:

Hawkins Point Plant.  Residual waste mud, known as Batch Attack Mud, and a spent sulfuric waste stream were deposited in an onsite repository (the “Batch Attack Lagoon”) at a former TiO2 manufacturing site, Hawkins Point Plant in Baltimore, Maryland, operated by Cristal USA, Inc. from 1954 until 2011. We assumed responsibility for remediation of the Hawkins Point Plant when we acquired the TiO2 business of Cristal in April 2019. On December 21, 2022, we sold the Hawkins Point Plant to the Maryland Port Administration ("MPA"), a state agency controlled by the Maryland Department of Transportation. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, MPA became the lead party in developing and implementing appropriate measures to address, treat, control, and mitigate the environmental conditions at the property under the regulatory oversight of the Maryland Department of the Environment ("MPE"). Under MPA ownership, the Hawkins Point Plant will be utilized for storage and beneficial reuse of dredged material from the Port of Baltimore. In exchange for transferring ownership of the site to MPA, Tronox has agreed to make scheduled, annual payments to MPA which together with scheduled, annual contributions from MPA will be used to remediate the property. The sale of the property to MPA did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024, we have a provision of $41 million included in "Environmental liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Hawkins Point Plant consistent with the accounting policy described above.

Other Matters— We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, prior acquisitions and divestitures, including our acquisition of Cristal, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Included in these other matters is the following:
UK Health and Safety Matter. In February 2024, we received a summons from the UK Health and Safety Executive alleging non-compliance with UK health and safety legislation at the Stallingborough pigment plant resulting from an incident involving an employee in August 2022. The sentencing hearing to determine monetary penalties occurred in September 2024. At such hearing, the judge imposed a monetary penalty in the amount of £292,425, inclusive of costs. We do not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Venator Materials plc v. Tronox Limited.  In May 2019, Venator Materials plc (“Venator”) filed an action in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware alleging among other things that we owed Venator a $75 million “Break Fee” pursuant to the terms of a preliminary agreement dated July 14, 2018 (the “Exclusivity Agreement”). The Exclusivity Agreement required, among other things, Tronox and Venator to use their respective best efforts to negotiate a definitive agreement to sell the entirety of the National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited’s (“Cristal’s”) North American operations to Venator if a divestiture of all or a substantial part of these operations were required to secure the approval of the Federal Trade Commission for us to complete our acquisition of Cristal’s TiO2 business. In June 2019, we denied Venator's claims and counterclaimed against Venator seeking to recover $400 million in damages from Venator that we suffered as a result of Venator’s breaches of the Exclusivity Agreement. Specifically, we alleged, among other things, that Venator’s failure to use best efforts constituted a material breach of the Exclusivity Agreement and directly resulted in and caused us to sell Cristal’s North American operations to an alternative buyer for $701 million, $400 million less than the price Venator had agreed to in the Exclusivity Agreement. On April 6, 2022, the Judge presiding over the case in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware delivered a directed verdict in favor of Venator without allowing the jury to deliberate. The Company determined not to appeal the Judge's verdict, and as such, on April 18, 2022, the Company and Venator entered into a settlement agreement whereby the Company paid $85 million, inclusive of interest, on April 25, 2022. As a result, we recorded the charge within "Venator settlement" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Tronox Holdings plc Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan

On March 27, 2019, Tronox Holdings plc assumed the management equity incentive plan previously adopted by Tronox Limited, which plan was renamed the Tronox Holdings plc Amended and Restated Management Equity Incentive Plan. The MEIP permits the grant of awards that are comprised of incentive options, nonqualified options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and other share-based awards, cash payments, and other forms as the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. The maximum number of shares which were initially subjected to awards (inclusive of incentive options) was 20,781,225 ordinary shares and was increased by 8,000,000 on the affirmative vote of our shareholders on June 24, 2020, and further increased by 3,200,000 on the affirmative vote of our shareholders on May 8, 2024.
Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)
On an annual basis, the Company grants RSUs which have time and/or performance conditions. Both the time-based awards and the performance-based awards are classified as equity awards.
2024 Grants- The Company granted both time-based and performance-based awards to certain members of management. A total of 819,048 of time-based awards were granted to management which will vest ratably over a three-year period ending March 5, 2027. A total of 75,748 of time-based awards were granted to non-employee members of the Board which will vest in May 2025. A total of 819,054 of performance-based awards were granted, of which 409,527 of the awards vest based on a relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") calculation and 409,527 of the awards vest based on certain performance metrics of the Company. The non-TSR performance-based awards vest on March 5, 2027 based on the actual 2026 annual return on invested capital (ROIC). Similar to the Company's historical TSR awards granted in prior years, the TSR awards vest based on the Company's three-year TSR versus the peer group performance levels. Given these terms, the TSR metric is considered a market condition for which we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of $21.70.
Similar TSR awards were granted during 2023 and 2022 with a grant date fair values of $22.42 and $34.41 which was calculated utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized to value the grants in 2024, 2023 and 2022:

At December 31, 2024, there was $26 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested RSUs, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $16.69 per unit, $16.33 per unit, and $19.47 per unit, respectively.

The amount will change based on the fair market value of our stock. During 2022, there were 13,881 options exercised with a total intrinsic value of less than $1 million. We issue new shares upon the exercise of options. During 2022, we received less than $1 million in cash for the exercise of stock options. There were no options exercised during 2024 or 2023 and consequently, there was no related intrinsic value. At December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to options.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Pension and Other Postretirement Healthcare Benefits Pension and Other Postretirement Healthcare Benefits
The following provides information regarding our U.S. and foreign plans:
U.S. Plans
Pension and Postretirement Healthcare Plans— Tronox has one main U.S. defined benefit plan: the U.S. Qualified Plan. The U.S. Qualified Plan is a funded noncontributory qualified benefit plan which is in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code. We made contributions into funds managed by a third party, and those funds are held exclusively for the benefit of the plan participants. Benefits under the U.S. Qualified Plan were generally calculated based on years of service and final average pay. The U.S. Qualified Plan was frozen and closed to new participants on June 1, 2009. In October 2022, the Company entered into an irrevocable arrangement with an insurance provider to settle certain lower dollar valued accounts within its frozen U.S Qualified Plan to reduce PBGC premiums. As a result of this arrangement, the Company recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge of approximately $20 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. We also maintain one postretirement healthcare plan - the U.S. retiree welfare plan.

International Plans
Pension Plans — Tronox has international defined benefit commitments primarily in the United Kingdom ("U.K. DB Scheme") and Saudi Arabia. The U.K. DB Scheme is a funded qualified defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom, which is frozen with no additional benefits accruing to the participants. Benefits under the U.K. DB Scheme are generally calculated based on years of credit service and final compensation when benefits ceased to accrue as defined under the plan provisions. We also maintain a Saudi Arabia Cristal End of Service Benefit plan which provides end of service benefits to qualifying participants. End of service benefits are based on years of service and the reasons for which a participant's services to the Company are terminated.
Multiemployer Pension Plan - In prior periods, we maintained a defined benefit plan in the Netherlands (the “Netherlands Plan”) to provide defined pension benefits to qualifying employees of Tronox Pigments (Holland) B.V. and its related companies. During 2014, the Netherlands Plan was replaced with a multiemployer plan, the Netherlands Contribution Plan (the "CDC Plan") effective January 1, 2015. Under the CDC Plan, employees earn benefits based on their pensionable salaries each year determined using a career average benefit formula. The collective bargaining agreement between us and the participants require us to contribute 20.4% of the participants’ pensionable salaries into a pooled fund administered by the industry-wide PGB. The pensionable salary is the annual income of employees subject to a cap, which is adjusted each year to reflect the current
requirements of the Netherlands’ Wages and Salaries Tax Act of 1964. Our obligation under this plan is limited to the fixed percentage contribution we make each year. The employees are entitled to any returns generated from the investment activities of the fund.
The following table outlines the details of our participation in the CDC Plan for the year ended December 31, 2024. The CDC disclosures provided herein are based on the fund’s 2023 annual report, which is the most recently available public information. Based on the total plan assets and accumulated benefit obligation information in the plan’s annual report, the zone status was green as of December 31, 2023. A green zone status indicates that the plan was at least 80 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates whether a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. As of December 31, 2024, we are not aware of any financial improvement or rehabilitation plan being implemented or pending. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject.

*-A new collective bargaining agreement has been preliminarily negotiated with the new term expected to be for another five years.
On the basis of the information available in the CDC Plan 2023 annual report, our contribution does not constitute more than 5 percent of the total contribution to the plan by all participants. During 2024, the fund did not impose any surcharge on us.

Postretirement Healthcare Plans — We also maintain postretirement healthcare plans in South Africa (the "South African Plan") and Brazil (the "Brazil Medical Plan"). The South African Plan provides medical and dental benefits to certain South African employees, retired employees and their registered dependents. The South African Plan provides benefits as follows: (i) members employed before March 1, 1994 receive 100% post-retirement and death-in-service benefits; (ii) members employed on or after March 1, 1994 but before January 1, 2002 receive 2% per year of completed service subject to a maximum of 50% post-retirement and death-in-service benefits; and, (iii) members employed on or after January 1, 2002 receive no post-retirement and death-in-service benefits. The Brazil Medical Plan provides post-employment medical benefits to employees who contributed to the medical plan while employed. Retirees receiving a benefit under the plan are required to pay a contribution that varies based on the coverage level elected.

Contributions
At a minimum, Tronox contributes to its pension plans to comply with local regulatory requirements (e.g., ERISA in the United States). Discretionary contributions in excess of the local minimum requirements are made based on many factors, including long-term projections of the plans' funded status, the economic environment, potential risk of overfunding, pension insurance costs and alternative uses of the cash. Changes to these factors can impact the timing of discretionary contributions from year to year. Pension contributions for its US and international plans were approximately $6 million in 2024 and are currently expected to be approximately $9 million in 2025.
The following table provides information for pension plans where the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets:

For the U.S. Qualified Plan, at both December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the mortality assumption was determined using the Society of Actuaries' the generational projection scale (i.e. MP-2021) and base table (i.e. Pri-2012).
Expected Return on Plan Assets — In forming the assumption of the U.S. and international long-term rate of return on plan assets, we considered the expected earnings on funds already invested, earnings on contributions expected to be received in the current year, and earnings on reinvested returns. The long-term rate of return estimation methodology for the Company's pension plans is based on a capital asset pricing model using historical data and a forecasted earnings model. An expected return on plan assets analysis is performed which incorporates the current portfolio allocation, historical asset-class returns, and an assessment of expected future performance using asset-class risk factors.
Discount Rate — The 2024 and 2023 rates were selected based on the results of a cash flow matching analysis, which projected the expected cash flows of the plans using a yield curves model developed from a universe of Aa-graded U.S. currency corporate bonds (obtained from Bloomberg) with BVAL scores of 6 or greater.
Plan Assets — The investments of the U.S. and International pension plans are managed to meet the future expected benefit liabilities of the plan over the long term by investing in diversified portfolios consistent with prudent diversification and historical and expected capital market returns. Tronox's U.S. and international pension plans’ weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the target asset allocation ranges, by major asset category, are as follows:

Defined Contribution Plans
U.S. Savings Investment Plan
In 2006, we established the U.S. Savings Investment Plan (the “SIP”), a qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the SIP, our regular full-time and part-time employees contribute a portion of their earnings, and we match these contributions up to a predefined threshold. Our matching contribution is 100% of the first 6% of employee contributions. Effective January 1, 2013, we established a profit sharing contribution at 6% of employees’ pay (“discretionary contribution”). A discretionary contribution of 6% was made for 2024, 2023 and 2022. Our matching contribution to the SIP vests immediately; however, our discretionary contribution is subject to vesting conditions that must be satisfied over a three-year vesting period. Contributions under the SIP, including our match, are invested in accordance with the investment options elected by plan participants. Compensation expenses associated with our matching contribution to the SIP was $5 million, $4 million and $5 million during 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Compensation expense associated with our discretionary contribution was $4 million in 2024, $5 million in 2023 and $5 million in 2022, which was included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
U.S. Benefit Restoration Plan
In 2006, we established the U.S. Benefit Restoration Plan (the “BRP”), a nonqualified defined contribution plan, for employees whose eligible compensation is expected to exceed the IRS compensation limits for qualified plans. Under the BRP, participants can contribute up to 20% of their annual compensation and incentive. Our matching contribution under the BRP is the same as the SIP. Our matching contribution under this plan vests immediately to plan participants. Contributions under the BRP, including our match, are invested in accordance with the investment options elected by plan participants. Compensation expense associated with our matching contribution to the BRP was $1 million, $1 million and $1 million during 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
South Africa Defined Contribution Plans
Tronox Mineral Sands Proprietary Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, participates in several defined contribution plans which are registered in the Republic of South Africa and are governed by the South African Pension Funds Act of 1956. These plans provide retirement and other benefits to all permanent employees, and where applicable, retired employees and their dependents. The Company contributes a range of 10% to 15% (depending on the plan) of the employees' predefined pre-tax pensionable earnings. Compensation expense associated with these plans was $8 million, $8 million, and $7 million during 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was included in both "Costs of goods sold" and "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Tasnee / Cristal

At December 31, 2024 Cristal International Holdings B.V. (formerly known as Cristal Inorganic Chemical Netherlands Cooperatief W.A.), a subsidiary of Tasnee, owned 37,580,000 shares of Tronox, or a 24% ownership interest.
On May 9, 2018, we entered into an Option Agreement with AMIC which is owned equally by Tasnee and Cristal. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, AMIC granted us an option (the “Option”) to acquire 90% of a special purpose vehicle (the “SPV”), to which AMIC’s ownership in a titanium slag smelter facility (the “Slagger”) in The Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries in KSA will be contributed together with $322 million of AMIC indebtedness (the "AMIC Debt"). Furthermore, pursuant to the Option Agreement we lent AMIC $125 million for capital expenditures and operational expenses intended to facilitate the start-up of the Slagger (the “Tronox Loans”).
On May 13, 2020, May 23, 2023 and finally on February 21, 2024, we amended the Option Agreement with AMIC (the "First Amendment", the "Second Amendment", and the "Third Amendment", respectively, and collectively, the "Amendments") to, among other things, establish a definitive period during which Tronox and AMIC would discuss whether, and under what circumstances Tronox may acquire the Slagger (the "Renegotiation Period"). In the Third Amendment, we agreed that the Renegotiation Period would extend until December 31, 2024. The Amendments also addressed repayment of the Tronox Loan. In the Third Amendment, we also agreed that until the end of the Renegotiation Period, 65% of all chloride slag produced by the Slagger would be delivered to Tronox as repayment in-kind of the Tronox Loans. The chloride slag was to be valued based on a widely published index for feedstock less an nominal discount (the "Slag Price"). With regard to the remaining 35% of chloride slag produced by the Slagger, under the Third Amendment, Tronox would purchase such chloride slag for cash at the Slag Price. Furthermore, the Third Amendment provided that at the end of the Renegotiation Period full repayment of the Tronox Loan would be due on January 10, 2025 in cash.
The Renegotiation Period expired on December 31, 2024 without any agreement on whether and under what circumstances Tronox would acquire the Slagger.
The following table shows the outstanding balance of the Tronox Loans, which on the Consolidated Balance Sheet is recorded in "Prepaid and other assets" at December 31, 2024 and "Other long-term assets" at December 31, 2023:

On February 11, 2025, we entered into a letter agreement with AMIC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Advanced Smelting Industries Co. Ltd. ("ASIC") pursuant to which all provisions of the Option Agreement and all the related letter agreements referenced above were extinguished including the parties' respective rights and obligations in and to the Option Agreement and related letter agreements and any claims arising thereunder except for AMIC's obligation to repay the balance and all interest accrued thereunder in cash on February 20, 2025. In addition, the parties agreed to that for a period of two-years, Tronox would purchase certain quantities of Slag from ASIC based on the Slag Price.

In addition, on March 15, 2018 Tronox and AMIC entered into a Technical Services Agreement (the "Original Technical Services Agreement"), which was subsequently amended on May 13, 2020, May 10, 2023 and February 21, 2024 (the "Restated Technical Services Agreement"). Through September 30, 2023 we provided technical advice and project management services, however AMIC and its consultants were still responsible for engineering and construction of the Slagger. As compensation for these services, Tronox received certain fees, including a management fee. In the Consolidated Statement of Operations and shown in the table below, the management fees per the Original Technical Services Agreement were recorded within "Other income, net" and other technical support fees, including fees per the Restated Technical Services Agreement, are recorded within "Selling, general and administrative" costs. From and after October 1, 2023, we no longer receive a management fee and the scope of services we provide is more limited, for which we receive cost reimbursement plus a nominal margin.

On December 29, 2019, we entered into an agreement (the "MGT Purchase Agreement") with Cristal to acquire certain assets co-located at our Yanbu facility which produce metal grade TiCl4 ("MGT"). Consideration for the acquisition was the assumption by Tronox of a $36 million note payable to Cristal (the "MGT Loan"). MGT is used at a titanium "sponge" plant facility, 65% of the ownership interests of which are held by Advanced Metal Industries Cluster and Toho Titanium Metal Co. Ltd ("ATTM"), a joint venture between AMIC and Toho Titanium Company Ltd. ATTM uses the TiCl4, which we supply by pipeline, for the production of titanium sponge, a precursor material used in the production of titanium metal. The terms of our supply of TiCl4 to ATTM are set forth in the Amended and Restated TiCL4 Supply Agreement by and among ATTM, Cristal and ourselves dated December 17, 2020 (the "ARTSA").
On December 17, 2020 we completed the MGT transaction. Repayment of the $36 million note payable is based on a fixed U.S. dollar per metric ton quantity of MGT delivered by us to ATTM over time and therefore the ultimate maturity date is variable in nature. If ATTM fails to purchase MGT from us under certain contractually agreed upon conditions set forth in the ARTSA, then at our election we may terminate the MGT supply agreement with ATTM and will no longer owe any amount under the loan agreement with Cristal. We currently estimate the ultimate maturity to be between approximately three and four years, subject to actual future MGT production levels. The interest rate on the note payable is based on the SAIBOR plus a premium. As shown in the table below, the note payable is recorded within "Long-term debt, net" and "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On February 11, 2025, we entered into a Settlement Deed with AMIC, Cristal and ATTM (collectively, the "AMIC Parties"), pursuant to which we resolved certain outstanding matters related to Tronox and the AMIC Parties' performance of their respective obligations under the MGT Purchase Agreement and the ARTSA. Specifically, Cristal agreed to pay us approximately $2 million in cash in exchange for a mutual release of all claims arising prior to December 31, 2024 under the MGT Purchase Agreement and the ARTSA relating to, among other things, certain amounts related to MGT deliveries that were outstanding as of December 31, 2024. As part of the settlement, we also agreed to increase the MGT loan amount by approximately $300,000 and issue a credit note for ATTM's benefit of approximately $500,000.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
We operate our business under one operating segment, Tronox, which is also our reportable segment. The Tronox segment produces feedstock materials that can be processed into TiO2 for pigment, high purity titanium chemicals, including titanium tetrachloride, and ultrafine TiO2 used in certain specialty applications. Tronox derives revenue across the world and it manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. We account for a contract with our customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.
The accounting policies of Tronox are the same as those described in the significant accounting policies in Note 2.
The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the CEO, reviews financial information presented at the consolidated level and decides how to allocate resources based on financial metrics, including net income. In addition to these financial metrics, the CODM also reviews monthly production figures along with future global sales demand forecasts to make decisions about ongoing production levels and how to allocate resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The CODM uses such financial metrics, including net income, to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the organization, such as working capital needs, mandatory and discretionary capital expenditures, servicing our interest and debt repayment obligations, cash taxes, and making pension contributions.

Net income, other financial metrics, production costs and sales forecasts are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses these financial metrics as a percentage of sales in competitive analysis by benchmarking to Tronox’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. The reported segment revenue, segment profit or loss and significant segment expenses are the same as the consolidated results disclosed on the consolidated statement of operations, except as noted below. As noted above, the CODM also determines how to allocate resources through his review of monthly production / manufacturing costs. Significant segment expenses, other than those disclosed on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, are as follows:

(b) Represents all other productions related costs associated with cost of goods sold during the respective periods including salaries, ore costs, electricity, process chemicals, maintenance and other.
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by product type and geographic area as well as sales based on country of production. We believe this level of disaggregation appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and reflects how our business is managed.
During 2024, 2023 and 2022 our ten largest third-party customers represented 37%, 39%, and 30%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales. During 2024, 2023, and 2022, no single customer accounted for 10 % of our consolidated net sales.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
As part of our overall risk management system we maintain comprehensive policies and processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including risks relating to production, safety, reputation, intellectual property, procurement and business continuity. Cybersecurity risk management is included as part of our overall annual Enterprise Risk Management program. As part of this program, our enterprise risk professionals consult with internal
cybersecurity subject matter experts to identify cyber risks and evaluate their severity and the efficacy of our mitigation efforts, with the results being reported to the executive leadership team and the Board of Directors.

Our cybersecurity risk management processes and policies include the following:

We seek to deploy best practice cybersecurity standards promulgated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity (NIST), the International Organization for Standardization and the Center for Internet Security.
We employ a dedicated cybersecurity team who routinely conduct specific risk assessments and endeavor to mitigate identified risks. This team is responsible for implementing measures to detect, prevent and respond to threats and malicious activity. We also maintain a Security Operations Center (SOC) that provides a mechanism for addressing cyberthreats before they comprise data security.
The cybersecurity team operates, maintains and monitors an integrated eco-system of security tools designed to detect, prevent and respond to threats and malicious activity. These tools include, but are not limited to, firewalls, anti-malware, IPS / IDS, end point protection, encryption, email and cloud app security, privileged access management, vulnerability scanning / patching. These are a blend of on-premise, cloud and network hosted tools. Monitoring activities include threat hunting and use of multiple intelligence sources to manage and respond to events.
Access to information is subject to authorization, review, classification and substantially controlled through multi-factor authentication.
All employees and contractors who are issued a Tronox user account for our IT system must complete and pass cybersecurity training before being provided full system access.
All employees and contractors with access to our IT systems must complete and pass a mandatory annual cybersecurity awareness training and acknowledgement of Tronox’s Acceptable Use Policy. Failure to complete the training successfully may result in further system access restrictions and HR escalation.
We periodically orchestrate simulated phishing attacks on all IT system users and those who fall victim to the simulated attacks are required to take additional mandatory cybersecurity training.
To reduce the risk of phishing attacks, we have identified groups of Tronox employees and contractors who do not require access to external emails in order to perform their work responsibilities and begun a process of blocking their external emails.
We have a written Incident Response Plan that encompasses a range of activities to detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity incidents, including compliance with applicable legal obligations and mitigation damage.
We work closely with a number of regional and international bodies from which we draw intelligence and contribute to cybersecurity initiatives such as incident simulation exercises and development working groups.
We regularly evaluate the appropriateness of cyber insurance coverage in light of the cyber risks we face and we do not currently carry cyber insurance.

Additionally, in connection with our cybersecurity risk management processes, we engage third-party subject matter experts to supplement our dedicated internal resources and to provide independent review of the Tronox-specific threat landscape as well as our mitigation efforts to counter known threats. These activities include:

External penetration testing by certified third parties.
Independent review of the Tronox Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Participating in industry and government cyber incident exercises run by the National Cyber Security Center (UK Security Services).
Utilizing a third party (KnowBe4) for the cybersecurity training and phishing tests described above.
Regularly engaging with statutory auditors in support of specific activities such as SOX 404 audits.
Engaging outside counsel with expertise in the field to advise on critical IT contracts as well as reporting and disclosure requirements.
Membership in a United Kingdom industry cybersecurity group to facilitate intelligence sharing and develop incident response capabilities.
Utilizing a third party vendor for detect and response services who provides 24x7 monitoring and incident response capabilities across the various Tronox technology platforms.

Our cybersecurity risk management policies and processes extend to cyber risks posed by our third-party service providers. To manage that risk we have implemented a process to identify critical vendors and perform a reasonable level of due diligence on the adequacy of their cybersecurity policies, processes and capabilities.
Our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks and any future material incidents. Like most major corporations we have been the target of cyberattacks from time to time and we expect to be the target of such attacks in the future. In the past three years,
however, we have not experienced a material information security breach. As such, we have not incurred any material expenses from cybersecurity breaches or any expenses from fines, penalties or settlements related to a cybersecurity breach. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on risks from cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
We are considered a domestic company in the United Kingdom and, as such, are required to comply with filing requirements in the United Kingdom. Additionally, we are not considered a “foreign private issuer” in the U.S.; therefore, we are required to comply with the reporting and other requirements imposed by the U.S. securities law on U.S. domestic issuers, which, among other things, requires reporting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiary companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner and presentation in the current period.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a change in estimate due to one or more future confirming events could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Foreign Currency
Foreign Currency
The U.S. dollar is our reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements in U.S. GAAP. We determine the functional currency of each subsidiary based on a number of factors, including the predominant currency for revenues, expenditures and borrowings. Adjustments from the remeasurement of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. When a subsidiary’s functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translation adjustments resulting from translating the functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollar equivalents are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Translation adjustments on intercompany foreign currency receivables and payables that are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future are reported in the same manner as translation adjustments.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time. All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as “Net sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accruals are made for sales returns, rebates and other allowances, which are recorded in “Net sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are based on our historical experience and current business conditions. Additionally, we have elected the practical
expedient to exclude sales taxes and similar taxes that we collect from customers on behalf of government authorities from the revenue transaction price. See Note 3.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes costs for purchasing, receiving, manufacturing, and distributing products, including raw materials, energy, labor, depreciation, depletion, shipping and handling, freight, warehousing, and other production costs.
Research and Development
Research and Development
Research and development costs, included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations comprised of salaries, building costs, utilities, administrative expenses, third party research, and allocations of corporate costs, were $14 million, $12 million, and $12 million during 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and were expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to marketing, research and development, agent commissions, and legal and administrative functions such as corporate management, human resources, information technology, investor relations, accounting, treasury, and tax compliance.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The estimation of the amounts of income taxes involves the interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations and how foreign taxes affect domestic taxes, as well as the analysis of the realizability of deferred tax assets, tax audit findings, and uncertain tax positions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We periodically assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and reflect any changes in our estimates in the valuation allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), as appropriate. All available positive and negative evidence is weighed to determine whether a valuation allowance should be recorded.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We assess our income tax positions, and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued as part of tax expense, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. See Note 5.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement
We measure fair value on a recurring basis utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and,
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities
See Note 15.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and money market accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are generally highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk.
Accounts Receivable, net of allowance for credit losses
Accounts Receivable, net of allowance for credit losses
We perform credit evaluations of our customers, and take actions deemed appropriate to mitigate credit risk. Only in certain specific occasions do we require collateral in the form of bank or parent company guarantees or guarantee payments. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on specific customer review and current financial conditions.
Inventories, net
Inventories, net
Pigment inventories are stated at the lower of actual cost and net realizable value, net of allowances for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. The cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Carrying values include material costs, labor, and associated indirect manufacturing expenses. Costs for materials and supplies, excluding titanium ore, are determined by average cost to acquire. Feedstock and co-products inventories including titanium ore are stated at the lower of the weighted-average cost of production or market. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding distribution costs. Raw materials are carried at actual cost.
We review the cost of our inventory in comparison to its net realizable value. We also periodically review our inventory for obsolescence. In either case, we record any write-down equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about alternative uses, market conditions and other factors. Inventories expected to be sold or consumed within twelve months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets and all other inventories are classified as non-current assets. See Note 8.
Long Lived Assets
Long Lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and is depreciated over its estimated useful life using the straight-line method as follows:
Land improvements
10 — 20 years
Buildings
10 — 40 years
Machinery and equipment
2 — 25 years
Furniture and fixtures10 years
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, except for costs of replacements or renewals that improve or extend the lives of existing properties, which are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective account, and any resulting gain or loss is included in “Cost of goods sold” or “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 9.
We capitalize costs associated with our asset retirement obligations which are generally included in machinery and equipment. See Note 17.
We capitalize interest costs on major projects that require an extended period of time to complete. See Note 13.
Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as tangible assets when management determines that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and anticipated exploration and development expenditures. Mineral leaseholds are depleted over their useful lives as determined under the units of production method. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property through the commencement of production are capitalized. See Note 10.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 3 to 20 years. See Note 11.
We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets that are held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under such circumstances, we assess whether the projected undiscounted cash flows of our long-lived assets are sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset group being assessed. If the undiscounted projected cash flows are not sufficient, we calculate the impairment amount by discounting the projected cash flows using our weighted-average cost of capital. For assets that satisfy the criteria to be classified as held for sale, an impairment loss, if any, is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds fair value, less cost to sell. The amount of the impairment of long-lived assets is written off against earnings in the period in which the impairment is determined.
Leases
Leases

We determine if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Our leases are primarily operating leases. Leased assets primarily include office buildings, rail cars and motor vehicles, forklifts, and other machinery and equipment. Our leases primarily have fixed lease payments, with real estate leases typically requiring additional payments for real estate taxes and occupancy-related costs. Certain of our leases also have variable lease payments. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index) are included in our initial measurement of the lease right of use assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that are not index or rate based (such as variable payments based on our performance or use of the leased assets) are recorded as expenses when incurred and excluded from the measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Our leases typically have initial lease terms ranging from 1 to 25 years. Some of our lease agreements include options to renew, extend or early terminate the leases. Lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease, adjusted by the period covered by an option to extend or terminate the lease if we are reasonably certain to exercise (or not exercise) that option. Our operating leases typically do not contain purchase options we expect to exercise, residual value guarantees or other material covenants.

Operating leases are recorded under “Lease right of use assets”, “Short-term lease liabilities”, and “Long-term lease liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are recorded under “Property, plant and equipment net”, “Long-term debt due within one year”, and “Long-term debt” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are initially recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease payments for the initial measurement of lease ROU assets and lease liabilities include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index or a rate. Variable lease payments that are not index or rate based are recorded as expenses when incurred. Operating lease ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Finance lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and the lease terms. See Note 16.
Long-term Debt
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt is stated net of unamortized original issue premium or discount. Premiums or discounts are amortized using the effective interest method with amortization expense recorded in “Interest and debt expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and are amortized using the effective interest method with amortization expense recorded in “Interest and debt expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 13.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations are recorded at their estimated fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at our credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate, which are considered Level 3 inputs. We classify accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations as a production cost, which is included in “Cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17.
Environmental Remediation and Other Contingencies
Environmental Remediation and Other Contingencies
We record an undiscounted liability when any of the following occur: 1) a claim or assessment has been asserted, 2) a litigation has commenced, or 3) based on available information, it is probable that a claim or an assessment will be asserted or a litigation will commence; and in addition, the outcome is expected to be unfavorable to us and the associated costs can be reasonably estimated. See Note 18.
Self-Insurance
Self-Insurance
We are self-insured for certain levels of general and vehicle liability, property, workers’ compensation and health care coverage. The cost of these self-insurance programs is accrued based upon estimated fully developed settlements for known and anticipated claims. Any resulting adjustments to previously recorded reserves are reflected in current operating results. We do not accrue for general or unspecific business risks.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based Compensation
Equity Restricted Share and Restricted Share Unit Awards — The fair value of equity instruments is measured based on the share price on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period. These awards contain service, market, and/or performance conditions. For awards containing only a service or a market condition, we have elected to recognize compensation costs using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards containing a market condition, the fair value of the award is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation under a lattice model approach. For awards containing a performance condition, the fair value is the grant date close price and compensation expense is not recognized until we conclude that it is probable that the performance condition will be met. We reassess the probability at least quarterly. See Note 20.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans
We recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at the measurement date. The benefit obligation for the defined benefit plans is the projected benefit obligation (PBO), which represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on employee services already rendered and estimated future compensation levels. The benefit obligation for our postretirement benefit plans is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO), which represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. The fair value of plan assets related to our defined benefit plan represents the current market value of assets held in a trust fund, which is established for the sole benefit of plan participants.
If the fair value of plan assets exceeds the benefit obligation, the plan is overfunded, and the excess is recorded as a prepaid pension asset. On the other hand, if the benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, the plan is underfunded, and the deficit is recorded as pension and postretirement healthcare benefits obligation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The portion of the pension and postretirement healthcare obligations payable within the next 12 months is recorded in accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost represents the aggregation of service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits and actuarial gains or losses previously recognized as a component of OCI and it is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The service cost component of the net periodic service cost component is recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the employees’ respective functions. The remaining portion of the net periodic cost related to interest cost, expected return in plan assets, amortization of prior service costs or credits, and actuarial gains or losses is recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Actuarial gains or losses represents the effect of remeasurement on the benefit obligation principally driven by changes in the plan actuarial assumptions. Prior service costs or credits arise from plan amendments. The actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are initially recognized as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Those gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic cost.
The measurement of benefit obligations and net periodic cost is based on estimates and assumptions approved by management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases and mortality rates.
Defined Contribution Plans — We recognize our contribution as expense when they are due. The expense is recorded in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the employees’ respective functions.
Multiemployer Plan — We treat our multiemployer plan like a defined contribution plan. A pension plan to which two or more unrelated employers contribute is generally considered to be a multiemployer plan. As a defined contribution plan, we recognize the contribution for the period as a net benefit cost and any contributions due and unpaid as a liability.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The amendments in this update apply to all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact to our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". The amendments in this update apply to all public business entities. The standard requires that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity disclose additional information about specific expense categories in commonly presented expense captions within the notes to the financial statements. Further the amendments require that an entity include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed by current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and disclose the total amount of selling expenses and an entity's definition of selling expenses (in annual reporting periods). The amendments in this update are effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statement. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". The amendment requires additional disclosures by public entities, including those with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items for each reportable segment. The guidance applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. On December 31, 2024, we adopted the new standard and applied the guidance under the new standard to include additional disclosures for our single reportable segment. See Note 23 for additional information.
