Kronos Worldwide Q2 2025 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q2 2025 earnings summary6 Aug, 2025
Executive summary
Reported a net loss of $9.2 million in Q2 2025 versus net income of $19.5 million in Q2 2024; six-month net income was $8.9 million, down from $27.6 million year-over-year.
Lower production volumes, higher unabsorbed fixed costs, and increased distribution and warehousing expenses drove the decline.
Acquired the remaining 50% interest in Louisiana Pigment Company (LPC) in July 2024, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Results for 2025 include full consolidation of LPC; integration is expected to yield long-term synergies but near-term impact is limited by soft demand and higher debt service.
Financial highlights
Q2 2025 net sales were $494.4 million, down 1% from Q2 2024; six-month net sales rose 1% to $984.2 million.
Gross margin declined to $62.8 million (12.7% of net sales) in Q2 2025 from $100.2 million (20.0%) in Q2 2024.
Segment profit dropped to $10.9 million in Q2 2025 from $41.1 million in Q2 2024; six-month segment profit was $52.5 million, down from $64.5 million.
EBITDA for Q2 2025 was $22.2 million, down from $56.2 million in Q2 2024; six-month EBITDA was $73.4 million, down from $87.9 million.
Q2 2025 production volumes were 125k metric tons, down from 137k in Q2 2024; sales volumes were 132k metric tons, down from 134k.
Outlook and guidance
Demand weakened in Q2 2025 across all major markets, with customers hesitant to build inventory amid tariff and trade uncertainties.
Operating rates were reduced in response to lower demand; facilities will continue to operate in line with demand as inventory is sold down.
TiO2 selling prices remained stable but are under downward pressure due to soft demand and high availability; average prices declined 4% in the first six months of 2025.
Cost reduction initiatives and lower input costs are expected to benefit results in the second half of 2025, but full-year operating results are projected to be lower than 2024.
Increased credit facility to $350 million in July 2025 to support liquidity and near-term debt maturities.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
