NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Millions of U.S. dollars, except share, per share and metric tons data or unless otherwise noted)

1.    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 and Brazil 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. ItOur strategy is our long-term strategic goal to be vertically integrated and consume all of ourproduce enough feedstock materials to be as self-sufficient as possible in the production of TiO2 at our own nine TiO2 pigment facilities which we operatelocated 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 Zirconzircon, pig iron and pig iron,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
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022. Our unaudited condensed 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.
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, including, among other things, any potential impacts on the economy as a result of macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, political instability, and supply chain disruptions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference"Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform Financial Reporting.”Reporting”. This amendment is elective in nature. Amongst other aspects, this standard provides for practical expedients and exceptions to current accounting standards that reference a rate which is expected to be dissolved (e.g., London Interbank Offered Rate “LIBOR”) as it relates to hedge accounting, contract modifications and other transactions that reference this rate, subject to meeting certain criteria. The standard is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which defers the sunset date of ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform, from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 is effective immediately for all entities.
We have conducted an internal assessment to identify items that would be impacted as a result of the dissolution of LIBOR. Based upon this assessment, we have determined that this change will be most impactful to our intercompany debt

agreements and interest rate swap agreements. Upon conversion of these benchmark rates, we intend to elect the practical expedients allowed under this standard which is expected to result in an immaterial impact to the financial statements. In addition, during the current quarter, we have elected to utilize certain exemptions allowed by this pronouncement as it relates to our interest rate swap transactions. Refer to Note 12 for further details.

2.    Revenue
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 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" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, 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. From time to time, we may receive advance payment from our customers 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 September 30, 2022both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 were approximatelyless than $1 million and $2 million, respectively.million. Contract liability balances were reported as “Accounts payable” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  All material contract liabilities as of December 31, 20212022 were recognized as revenue in “Net sales” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the first quarter of 2022.2023.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We operate under one operating and reportable segment, Tronox. 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:

3.    Income Taxes
Our operations are conducted through various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. We have provided for income taxes based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned.
Income before income taxes is comprised of the following:

Tronox Holdings plc, a U.K. public limited company is the parent company for the business group, and the statutory tax rate in the U.K. at both September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 was 19%. The statutory rate in the U.K. will change to 25% effective April 1, 2023 and a weighted average of 23.5% will be applied for the full year 2023. The effective tax rates for both the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 are impacted by a variety of factors, primarily income and losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, disallowable expenditures, prior year accruals, and our jurisdictional mix of income at tax rates different than the U.K. statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was significantly impacted by the release of a portion of the valuation allowance in Australia. In addition to that, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 was significantly impacted by the non-deductible Venator settlement, and the related interest expense from the Venator settlement in a jurisdiction with a full valuation allowance, as well asand a $7 million deferred tax benefit from statutory tax rate changes in two foreign jurisdictions.
At each reporting date, we perform an analysis to determine the likelihood of realizing our deferred tax assets and whether any valuation allowances are required. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (including the reversals of deferred tax liabilities) during the periods in which those deferred tax assets will become deductible. Our analysis takes into consideration all available positive and negative evidence, including prior operating results, the nature and reason for any losses, our forecast of future taxable income, utilization of tax planning strategies, and the dates on which any deferred tax assets are expected to expire. These assumptions and estimates require a significant amount of judgment and are made based on current and projected circumstances and conditions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we determined that sufficient positive evidence existed to reverse a portion of the valuation allowance attributable to the deferred tax assets associated with our operations in Australia. This reversal resulted in non-cash deferred tax benefits of $16 million and $278 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Our analysis considered all positive and negative evidence, including (i) three years of cumulative income for our Australian subsidiaries, (ii) our continuing and improved profitability over the last twelve months, (iii) estimates of continued profitability based on updates 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. These CGT assets represent losses which can only be utilized against CGT gains, and because the company has no foreseeable source of CGT gains, we will continue to carry an Australian valuation allowance with a current estimated value of $475 million.
We continue to maintain full valuation allowances related to the total net deferred tax assets in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as we cannot objectively assert that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Until these valuation allowances are eliminated, future provisions for income taxes for these jurisdictions will include no tax benefits with respect to losses incurred and tax expense only to the extent of current tax payments. Additionally, we have valuation allowances against specific tax assets in Australia, South Africa and the United States.

The Company currently has no uncertain tax positions recorded. 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, adjustments to our provisions may be necessary and/or reclassifications of noncurrent tax liabilities to current may occur in the future.

5.    Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On March 15, 2022, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization arrangementprogram (“Securitization Facility”) with a financial institution ("Purchaser"), through our wholly owned special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary Tronox Securitization LLC (“ SPE”). which was amended in November 2022.
As the Company does not maintain effective control over the sold receivables, we derecognize the sold receivables from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and classify the cash proceeds as source of cash from operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The purpose of this arrangementprogram is to enhance the Company's financial flexibility by providing additional liquidity. The Securitization Facility permits 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 receivablestructured on a periodicrevolving basis under which cash collections from receivables are used to the SPE. The SPE in turn sells undivided interests in the portionfund additional purchases of the receivables that meet certain eligibility criteria, pursuant to the terms of a receivable purchase agreement, to the administrative agent (acting on behalf of the purchaser) in exchange for cash,at 100% face value, not to exceed the facility limit. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total value of accounts receivables sold under the Securitization 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 receivablesderecognized 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.
DuringCompany's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $117 million and $123 million, respectively. Additionally, at March 2022, the Company sold accounts receivable having an aggregate face value of $75 million to the purchaser in exchange for cash proceeds of $75 million. At September 30,31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we also retained approximately $34$99 million and $69 million of unsold receivables which we pledged as collateral for the sold receivables.

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

Table of Contents
On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into amendments with 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 Company’s objectivesforward starting swaps will be effective from June 2023 and will mature in March 2028 which will align with the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Indexing forward starting swaps to SOFR will also ensure that the reference rates in our hedge instruments will align with the interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility which is expected to change from LIBOR to SOFR effective June 30, 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 converts the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company maintains a total of $950 million of interest rate swaps with the objective in using the interest-rate swap agreements are to add stability to interest expense and to manage itsthe 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. There was no impact associated with the new Term Loan Facility as the hedge remained highly effective.
Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) incomeloss and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the net unrealized gain of $29$25 million and the unrealized lossgain of $25$30 million, respectively, was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For both the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts recorded in interest expense related to the interest-rate swap agreements were less than $1 million and $7 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net amounts recorded in interest expense related to the interest-rate swap agreements were $4 million and $12 million, respectively.

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 and forecasted non-functional currency cost of goods sold for our Australian subsidiaries. Historically, we have used a combination of zero-cost collars or forward contracts to reduce the exposure.  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 or costs of goods sold 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 September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had notionalno outstanding amounts of 174 million Australian dollars (or approximately $112 million at September 30, 2022 the exchange rate) that expire between October 28, 2022 and December 29, 2022 to reduce the exposure of our Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales to fluctuations in currency rates. As of September 30, 2022, we had notional amounts of 1.5 billion South African Rand (approximately $84 million at the September 30, 2022 exchange rate) that expire between October 27, 2022 and December 30, 2022rates or to reduce the exposure of our South African subsidiaries' third party sales to fluctuations in currency rates. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, there was an unrealized net loss of $11$2 million and an unrealized net gainloss of $15$4 million, respectively, recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $11$2 million is expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. Of the $11 million, $4 million is expected to be recognized in earnings during the remainder of 2022.2023.

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts for the South African Rand, Australian Dollar, Euro, and 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 expense, net” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and partially offsets the change in value of third party and intercompany-related receivables not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there was (i) 786 million1.1 billion South African Rand (or approximately $43$62 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), (ii) 189216 million Australian dollars (or approximately $122$144 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), (iii) 1516 million Pound Sterling (or approximately $16$19 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), and (iv) 833 million Euro (or approximately $8$36 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), and (v) 46 million Saudi Riyal (or approximately $12 million at the March 31, 2023 exchange rate) of notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency contracts. At December 31, 2021,2022, there was (i) 510 million1.2 billion South African Rand (or approximately $28$68 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate) and, (ii) 172197 million Australian dollars (or approximately $111$132 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), (iii) 20 million Pound Sterling (or approximately $25 million at the March 31, 2023 exchange rate, and (iv) 44 million Euro (or approximately $48 million at the March 31, 2023 exchange rate) of notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency contracts.
13.    Fair Value
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards also have established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 -Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 -Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly
Level 3 -Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions

We determined the fair value of the Term Loan Facility, the 2022 Term Loan Facility and the Senior Notes due 2029 and the 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 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 utilizing transactions in the listed markets for identical or 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.

Letters of Credit—At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $54$109 million, of which $20$70 million were letters of credit, of which $50 million is related to the sale of Hawkins Point as discussed below, and $34$39 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 is 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 TiO2TiO2 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 August 11,December 21, 2022, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement withsold the Hawkins Point Plant to the Maryland Port Administration ("MPA"), a state agency controlled by the Maryland Department of Transportation, pursuantTransportation. Pursuant to whichthe terms of the transaction, MPA will purchase the Hawkins Point Plant and becomebecame 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 ("MDE"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. On October 26, 2022,The sale of the Maryland Boardproperty to MPA did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statement of Public Works approved the transaction which was the most material condition to closing. The parties anticipate that closing will occur in the fourth quarter of 2022.Income. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we have a provision of $56$42 million included in "Environmental liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Hawkins Point Plant consistent with the accounting policy described above. If the transaction with MPA were to be consummated, we do not expect it to have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
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 are the following:

TableUK Health and Safety Matter. In April 2023, we received a summons from the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) alleging non-compliance with UK health and safety legislation at the Stallingborough pigment plant resulting from an incident involving a contractor in August 2021. We also received notice that HSE is investigating another incident which occurred in August 2022 at the same plant involving an employee. With regard to the summons, the initial court hearing is currently scheduled for May 2023. Although we do not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of Contentsoperations, an adverse judgment would likely result in criminal liability against Tronox Pigment UK Limited, the entity which owns the Stallingborough pigment plant, as well as monetary penalties. With regard to the notice of investigation into the second incident, the timing for an enforcement action, if any, is uncertain but based on our current understanding 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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022.

Western Australia Stamp Duty Matter. In May 2018, we lodged a pre-transaction determination request for a stamp duty exemption with the Western Australia Office of State Revenue (the “WA OSR”) in connection with our re-domicile transaction (the “Re-Domicile Transaction”). The WA OSR subsequently granted our request for an exemption in June 2018 on a preliminary basis. Immediately following the consummation of the Re-Domicile Transaction, we filed a confirmation request for the stamp duty exemption with the WA OSR. Following this confirmation request, we exchanged numerous communications with the WA OSR addressing questions raised and stating our position. In July 2021, the WA OSR informed us that they have reviewed their technical position on the applicability of the stamp duty exemption and have determined that such an exemption is disallowed. On April 8, 2022, the Company lodged an appeal of the WA OSR's decision with the Western Australia State Administrative Tribunal. WhileOn March 3, 2023, the Company believes it complied withWA OSR officially granted us the rules relevant to obtaining anstamp duty exemption from stamp duties in connection with the Re-Domicile Transaction, if an unfavorable ruling is received fromand as such, the Western Australia State Administrative Tribunal and Tronox is not able to successfully appeal such ruling, the stamp duty payable on the Re-Domicile Transaction could result in a material charge to our financial statements.proceeding was withdrawn.

At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, Cristal International Holdings B.V. (formerly known as Cristal Inorganic Chemical Netherlands Cooperatief W.A.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tasnee, continues to own 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”). The AMIC Debt would remain outstanding debt of the SPV upon exercise of the Option. The Option may be exercised if the Slagger achieves certain production criteria related to sustained quality and tonnage of slag produced (the “Option Criteria”). Likewise, AMIC may require us to acquire the Slagger on the same terms if the Option Criteria are satisfied. Furthermore, pursuant to the Option Agreement and during its term, we agreed to lend AMIC and, upon the creation of the SPV, the SPV, up to $125 million for capital expenditures and operational expenses intended to facilitate the start-up of the Slagger (the “Tronox Loans”). At September 30,both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have lent AMIC the Tronox Loans maximum amount of $125 million. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we have recorded the $125 million, of total principal loan payments as well as thewhich, together with related interest of $11$14 million and $9$13 million, respectively, is recorded within “Other long-term assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Option did not have a significant impact on the financial statements as of noror for the period ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and September 30, 2021, Tronox recorded $20$43 million and nil,$9 million, respectively, for purchases of feedstock material produced by the Slagger. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the corresponding Slagger feedstockSuch purchases were $43 million and nil, respectively. Such sales are subsequently recorded in "Cost of goods sold" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, amounts due related to Slagger feedstock purchases were $5$29 million and nil,$14 million, respectively, which are recorded within “Accrued liabilities” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On May 13, 2020, we amended the Option Agreement (the "First Amendment") with AMIC to address circumstances in which the Option Criteria cannot be satisfied. Pursuant to the First Amendment, Tronox has the right to acquire the SPV in exchange for (i) our forgiveness of the Tronox Loans principal and accrued interest thereon, and (ii) the SPV's assumption of $36 million of indebtedness plus accrued interest thereon lent by AMIC to the SPV. Under the First Amendment, the SPV would not assume any of the AMIC Debt.
The Option Agreement expires on May 10, 2023. While the Company initially decided to allow the Option Agreement to expire in accordance with its terms, it is in discussions with AMIC about under what circumstances it may extend the Option Agreement. In the meanwhile, the Company has agreed to extend the term of the TSA and continue to work with AMIC to support the Jazan smelter complex. The terms of the Tronox Loans, which can be repaid as late as June 2025, remain unchanged and can be paid in the form of cash or in kind.

Additionally, on May 13, 2020, we amended a Technical Services Agreement that we had entered with AMIC on March 15, 2018, to add project management support services. Under this amended arrangement, AMIC and its consultants are still responsible for engineering and construction of the Slagger while we provide technical advice and project management services including supervision and management of third party consultants intended to satisfy the Option Criteria. As compensation for these services, Tronox receives a management fee, which is subject to certain success incentives if and when the Slagger achieves the Option Criteria. Tronox recorded management fees of $2 million in "Other income (expense), net" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for both the three months ended September 30, 2022both March 31, 2023 and 2021. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the corresponding management fees were $6 million. Tronox recorded other technical support fees received under the Technical Services Agreement of nil for both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income. Corresponding amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, were $1 million and nil, respectively.March 31, 2022. At September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, Tronox had a receivable due from AMIC related to the management fee and other technical support fees of $2$3 million and $1$2 million, respectively, that is recorded within “Prepaid and other assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At September 30,both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Tronox had a receivable due from Tasnee of $3$2 million, recorded within “Prepaid and other assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, related primarily to pre-acquisition period tax matters in process with certain tax authorities which are reimbursable from Tasnee.

On December 29, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Cristal to acquire certain assets co-located at our Yanbu facility which produces metal grade TiCl4 ("MGT"). Consideration for the acquisition is 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

Table of Contents
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.

On December 17, 2020 we completed the MGT transaction. Repayment of the $36 million note payable is based on a fixed U.S. dollar amount 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, then at our election we may terminate the MGT supply agreement with ATTM and we will no longer owe any amount under the loan agreement with Cristal. We currently estimate the ultimate maturity to be between approximately five and six years, subject to actual future MGT production levels. The interest rate on the note payable is based on the SAIBOR plus a premium. At September 30,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the note payable was $31$29 million and $30 million, respectively, of which $6$7 million isand $7 million, respectively, was expected to be paid within the next twelve months. The note payable is recorded within "Long-term debt, net" and "Long-term debt due within one year" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. During both the three months ended September 30,both March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and 2021, Tronox recorded $1 million for MGT Loan repayments to Cristal which are recorded within "Net sales" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Corresponding MGT loan repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were $2 million and $3 million, respectively.

As a result of these transactions that we entered into related to the MGT assets, Tronox recorded $1 million and $2$1 million for purchase of chlorine gas from ATTM for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and such amounts are recorded in "Cost of goods sold" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Corresponding amounts purchased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were $3 million and $6 million, respectively. The amount due to ATTM at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, for the purchase of chlorine gas was less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, which is recorded within “Accrued liabilities” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 and Brazil 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. ItOur strategy is our long-term strategic goal to be vertically integrated and consume all of ourproduce enough feedstock materials to be as self-sufficient as possible in the production of TiO2 at our own nine TiO2 pigment facilities which we operatelocated 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 Zirconzircon, pig iron and pig iron,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.

Feedstock and other products revenues increased $22decreased $8 million from the year-ago quarter primarily due to an increasea decrease in both sales volumes and average selling prices and sales volumes of pig iron.
Gross profit of $232$133 million was 25.9%18.8% of net sales compared to 28.0%24.0% of net sales in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to:
the net unfavorable impact of 1910 points due to product mix and higher production and commodity costs,
the unfavorable impact of 2 points due to increased cost structures and increased freight rates which were offset by favorable overhead absorption and cost savings,idle facility charges, partially offset by
the favorable impact of 144 points primarily due to an increase in TiO2,and Zircon and pig iron selling prices, and
the net favorable impact of 3 points due to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily as a result of the South African Rand and Australian dollar.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $7 million or 9% during the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease is mainly due to lower employee costs of $9 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher travel$4 million and entertainment expensesa decrease in professional services of $2 million. The remaining net decrease was driven by individually immaterial amounts.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $163$62 million compared to $168$69 million in the prior year period. The decrease of $5$7 million was primarily due to the higher production costs and unfavorable product mix partially offset by higher TiO2, and Zircon and pig iron selling prices and lower SG&A expenses discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 27.6%20.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 as compared to 29.0%24.9% from the prior year primarily due to the lower gross margin as a result of higher production costs and unfavorable product mix partially offset by improved pricing and lower SG&A expenses as discussed above.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $5 million compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower average debt outstanding balances primarily on the Term Loan Facility as well as lower average interest rates mainly on the 2022 Term Loan Facility as compared to the 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in the prior year quarter.
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 primarily consisted of approximately $5 million of net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains, $2 million associated with the monthly technical service fee relating to the Jazan slagger we receive from AMIC and approximately $1 million of pension income primarily due to expected return on plan assetsnet realized and unrealized foreign currency gains partially offset by pension related interest costs and amortization of actuarial gains/losses.other individually immaterial amounts.
We continue to maintain full valuation allowances related to the total net deferred tax assets in Switzerland and the United Kingdom.  The provisions for income taxes associated with these jurisdictions include no tax benefits with respect to losses incurred and tax expense only to the extent of current tax payments.

On a reported basis, theThe effective tax rate was 13%26% and 20%53% for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021 are impacted by a variety of factors, primarily income and losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances, disallowable expenditures, prior year accruals, and our jurisdictional mix of income at tax rates different than the U.K. statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 was significantly impacted by the $16 million deferred tax benefit from the changes in estimate about the realizability of the related Australian deferred tax assets in future years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, TiO2 revenue was higher by 5% or $97 million compared to the prior year period. TiO2 revenue increased primarily due to a $397 million increase in average selling prices partially offset by a $190 million decrease in sales volumes. Foreign currency negatively impacted TiO2 revenue by $110 million due to the weakening of the Euro. Zircon revenues decreased $14 million primarily due to a 35% decrease in sales volumes partially offset by a 31% increase in average selling prices. Feedstock and other products revenues increased $34 million primarily due to higher average selling prices of pig iron partially offset by decreases in pig iron sales volumes.
Gross margin of $727 million was 25.9% of net sales compared to 25.2% of net sales in the year-ago period. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to:
the favorable impact of 14 points primarily due to an increase in TiO2, Zircon and pig iron selling prices, and
the net favorable impact of 3 points due to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily due to the South African Rand and Australian dollar, partially offset by
the unfavorable impact of 16 points due to product mix and higher production and commodity costs and increased freight rates which were offset by favorable overhead absorption and cost savings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $14 million or 6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily driven by a $21 million decrease in employee costs offset by higher travel and entertainment expenses of $6 million. The remaining balance was driven by individually immaterial amounts.
The outcome of the Venator settlement resulted in a $85 million payment to Venator which includes $10 million of interest accrued since May 13, 2019 (refer to Note 15 in notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further details).
Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $422 million compared to income from operations of $443 million in the prior year period. The decrease of $21 million was primarily due to the Venator settlement of $85 million (discussed above) partially offset by higher TiO2, Zircon and pig iron selling prices and lower SG&A expenses as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 27.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 0.6 point from 26.6% in the prior year. The higher gross margin and lower SG&A expenses as discussed above were the primary drivers of the year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA percentage.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $31 million compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to the lower average debt outstanding balances primarily on the Term Loan Facility and the lower average interest on the 2022 Term Loan Facility as compared to the 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 in the prior year period.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $21 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 which is primarily comprised of a $18 million call premium paid in relation to the redemption of the 6.5% Senior Secured Notes and related write-off of certain debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of a new term loan which closed in April 2022.
Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of approximately $6 million associated with the monthly technical service fee relating to the Jazan slagger we receive from AMIC and $3 million of pension income primarily due to expected return on plan assets offset by pension related interest costs and amortization of actuarial gains/losses and $1 million of net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains.

Historically, we have funded our operations and met our commitments through cash generated by operations, issuance of unsecured notes, bank financings and borrowings under lines of credit. In the next twelve months, we expect that our operations will provide sufficient cash for our operating expenses, capital expenditures, interest payments and debt repayments, however, if necessary, we have the ability to borrow under our debt and revolving credit agreements (see Note 11 of notes to consolidated financial statements). This is predicated on our achieving our forecast which could be negatively impacted by items outside of our control, including, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, political instability including the ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict and any expansion of such conflict, and supply chain disruptions. If negative events occur in the future, we may need to reduce our capital spend, cut back on operating costs and other items within our control to maintain adequate liquidity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were invested in money market funds and we also receive earnings credits for some balances left in our bank operating accounts.

National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, entered into Amendment No. 1short-term debt facilities for general corporate purposes. Refer to the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides 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 its credit agreement in an aggregate initial principal amount of $400 million.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income attributable to Tronox and Diluted adjusted net income per share attributable to Tronox, which are used by management to measure performance, are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, interest income and depreciation, depletion and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding the impact of nonrecurring items such as restructuring charges, gain or loss on debt extinguishments, impairment charges, gains or losses on sale of assets, acquisition-related transaction costs integration costs, purchase accounting adjustments and pension settlements and curtailment gains or losses. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash items such as share-based compensation costs, and pension and postretirement costs. Additionally, we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA,costs, and realized and unrealized foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses.

Environmental Matters
We are subject to a broad array of international, federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to safety, pollution, protection of the environment, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal, and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring, and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. Under these laws, we are or may be required to obtain or maintain permits or licenses in connection with our operations. In addition, under these laws, we are or may be required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of chemical, petroleum, low-level radioactive and other substances at our facilities. We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under environmental, health, and safety laws, including costs to acquire, maintain, and repair pollution control equipment. Environmental laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and compliance costs are significant and will continue to be significant in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that such laws and

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market, credit, operational, and liquidity risks in the normal course of business, which are discussed below. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, with derivative instruments. We do not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes, but historically have entered into, and may enter into, derivative instruments for hedging purposes in order to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, natural gas prices and exchange rates.
Market Risk
A substantial portion of our products and raw materials are commodities that reprice as market supply and demand fundamentals change. Accordingly, product margins and the level of our profitability tend to vary with changes in the business cycle. Our TiO2 prices may do so in the near term as ore prices and pigment prices are expected to fluctuate over the next few years. We try to protect against such instability through various business strategies. These include provisions in sales contracts allowing us to pass on higher raw material costs through timely price increases and formula price contracts to transfer or share commodity price risk, enter into fixed purchase commitments to eliminate volatility in commodity purchases, as well as using varying contract term lengths and selling to a diverse mix of customers by geography and industry to reap the benefits of a diverse portfolio.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or a counterparty will fail to meet their obligations. A significant portion of our liquidity is concentrated in trade accounts receivable that arise from sales of our products to customers. In the case of TiO2, the high level of industry concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. We have significant exposure to credit risk in industries that are affected by cyclical economic fluctuations. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers from time to time, as deemed appropriate, to mitigate credit risk but generally do not require collateral. Our contracts typically enable us to tighten credit terms if we perceive additional credit risk; however, historic losses due to write offs of bad debt have been insignificant. In addition, due to our international operations, we are subject to potential trade restrictions and sovereign risk in certain countries in which we operate. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on specific customer review and current financial conditions. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, our ten largest third-party customers represented 30%37% and 28%30%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, no single customer accounted for 10% of our consolidated net sales.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will impact our financial results. We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating rate debt, the Term Loan Facility, the 2022 Term Loan Facility, Standard Bank Term Loan Facility, and Cash Flow Revolver, Standard Bank Revolver, Emirates Revolver and SABB Credit Facility balances. Using a sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in a net decrease to pre-tax income of approximately $7$6 million on an annualized basis. This is due to the fact that earnings on our floating rate financial assets of $23$24 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 would increase by the full 1%, offsetting the impact of a 1% increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt of approximately $724$621 million.
During 2019, we entered into three interest-rate swap agreements for a portion of our previous Term Loan Facility, which effectively convertsconverted the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the loan. The agreements were to expire in September 2024.
On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into amendments with 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.
37

Table of Contents
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 Company’sforward starting swaps will be effective from June 2023 and will mature in March 2028 which will align with the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Indexing forward starting swaps to SOFR will also ensure that the reference rates in our hedge instruments will align with the interest rate terms of the Term Loan Facility which is expected to change from LIBOR to SOFR effective June 30, 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 converts the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the 2022 Term Loan Facility.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company maintains a total of $950 million of interest rate swaps 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. The Company's objectives in using the interest-rateinterest rate swap agreements are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. There was no impact associated with the new Term Loan Facility as the hedge remained highly effective.

Currency Risk
Currency risk arises from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will impact our balance sheets due to the translation of our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, as well as our earnings due to the translation of certain of our subsidiaries’ statements of income from local currencies to U.S. dollars, as well as due to remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency. We manufacture and market our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly in Australia, Brazil, China, South Africa, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The exposure is most prevalent in South Africa and Australia as the majority of revenues are earned in U.S. dollars while expenses are primarily incurred in local currencies. Since we are exposed to movements in the South African Rand, the Australian Dollar, the Euro and the Pound Sterling versus the U.S. dollar, we may enter into forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currencies as “economic hedges” for these foreign currency transactions.
We periodically enter into foreign currency contracts used to hedge non-functional currency sales for our South African subsidiaries and forecasted non-functional currency cost of goods sold 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 to the extent such contracts are effective, and are recognized in net sales or costs of goods sold in the period in which the forecasted transaction affects earnings or the transactions are no longer probable of occurring. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had notionalno outstanding amounts of 174 million Australian dollars (or approximately $112 million at September 30, 2022 exchange rate) that expire between October 28, 2022 and December 29, 2022 to reduce the exposure of our Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales to fluctuations in currency rates. As of September 30, 2022, we had notional amounts of 1.5 billion South African Rand (approximately $84 million at September 30, 2022 exchange rate) that expire between October 27, 2022 and December 30, 2022rates or to reduce the exposure of our South African subsidiaries' third party sales to fluctuations in currency rates.

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts for the South African Rand, Australian dollar,Dollar, Euro, and Pound Sterling, and Saudi Riyal to reduce exposure of our subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts not denominated in our subsidiaries'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 expense, net” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and partially offsets the change in value of third party and intercompany-related receivables not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there was (i) 786 million1.1 billion South African Rand (or approximately $43$62 million at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), (ii) 189216 million Australian dollars (or approximately $122$144 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), (iii) 1516 million Pound Sterling (or approximately $16$19 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), and (iv) 833 million Euro (or approximately $8$36 million at the September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 exchange rate), and (v) 46 million Saudi Riyal (or approximately $12 million at the March 31, 2023 exchange rate) of notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency contracts.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of and with the participation of Tronox’s management, including our co-CEOs and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, we have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date. Tronox’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Tronox in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Tronox’s management, including Tronox’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or other persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, we have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date. 
An evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was also performed to determine whether any changes have occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are currently undergoing a multi-year IT-enabled transformation program that includes increased automation of both operational and financial systems, including the global enterprise risk management program, through new and upgraded systems, technology and processes. As part of such transformation program, during the third quarter of 2022, we implemented upgrades to our financial systems and platforms in certain regions. The full implementation is expected to occur in phases over a number of years. As the phased implementation of this system occurs, we expect certain changes to our processes and procedures which, in turn, will result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting.

While we expect this transformation program to strengthen our internal financial controls, management will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal controls as processes and procedures in each of the affected areas evolve.

Other than as discussed above, during the quarter ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
