Wilmington, Del., August 8, 2016 - Today, The Chemours Company (Chemours) (NYSE: CC), a global chemistry company with leading market positions in titanium technologies, fluoroproducts and chemical solutions, announced financial results for the second quarter 2016.
Chemours President and CEO Mark Vergnano said, “Our second quarter results reflect our focused execution against our Five-Point Transformation Plan and our drive to deliver on our commitments to all our stakeholders. We have just celebrated our first anniversary as a public company, and we are pleased with the progress we have made in that time to strengthen our business model, reduce costs, and optimize our company portfolio. At this point, we have completed the strategic review of our Chemical Solutions portfolio, closed the sale of our Sulfur business for approximately $325 million and announced the sale of our Clean and Disinfect business for $230 million. We began commercial production at our new TiO2 plant in Altamira, Mexico and have been encouraged by improvement in the titanium technologies segment with increasing TiO2 prices. Overall, I am very pleased that we have delivered approximately $100 million in cost reductions, improved margins, improved our working capital, streamlined our portfolio and modestly improved our balance sheet in the first half of 2016.”
Second quarter net sales were $1.4 billion, a decrease of 8 percent from $1.5 billion in the prior-year quarter. Second quarter net loss was $18 million, or ($0.10) per diluted share, versus net loss of $18 million, or ($0.10) per diluted share on a pro forma basis in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $187 million versus $127 million in the prior-year quarter. Improved profitability in Fluoroproducts and cost reductions throughout the company were partially offset by lower average prices in Titanium Technologies and Chemical Solutions along with approximately $9 million of unfavorable currency movements versus the prior-year quarter.
Sequentially, sales increased by $86 million, an increase of 7 percent from $1.3 billion in the first quarter. Second quarter net loss was $18 million, or ($0.10) per diluted share down from net income of $51 million or $0.28 per diluted share. The net loss was primarily driven by asset impairment charges of $63 million in the second quarter. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased by $59 million versus $128 million in the first quarter of 2016. The improved performance was primarily driven by higher seasonal volumes in Titanium Technologies and Fluoroproducts and supplemented by higher TiO2 pricing and lower costs. These were partially offset by unfavorable Corporate and Other expenses.
Titanium Technologies
In the second quarter, Titanium Technologies segment sales were $596 million, a 7 percent decline versus the prior-year quarter. Lower year-over-year pricing reduced net sales 6 percent and lower volume of non-TiO2 product lines and the timing of TiO2 shipments reduced net sales 1 percent. Strong demand in North America and EMEA was offset by weaker volumes in Asia and Latin America versus the prior-year quarter. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $111 million, a 22 percent improvement compared to the prior-year quarter. Benefits from cost reductions and operational efficiencies drove the improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, but were partially offset by the lower average prices. Currency movements contributed a moderate benefit in the quarter versus the previous-year quarter.
Sequentially, versus the first quarter of 2016, sales increased 14 percent and Adjusted EBITDA increased $57 million, or 105 percent. The increase in sales was due to seasonally stronger volumes and higher global average price increase of approximately 5 percent. Volume increased 10 percent driven by sequentially higher demand in all regions except Latin America. The benefits of global average price increases, stronger volumes, transformation plan cost savings and a $4 million impact from favorable currency movements drove the increase in Adjusted EBITDA. In August 2016, Chemours communicated to customers in EMEA and Latin America that an additional $150 per tonne price increase will be effective September 1, 2016.
Fluoroproducts
Fluoroproducts segment sales in the second quarter were $573 million, a decrease of 3 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Stronger demand for Opteon™ refrigerants in both Europe and the U.S. delivered a significant increase in volume that was offset by regulated volume reductions of base refrigerants, weaker demand for fluoropolymer products into consumer electronics markets and lower pricing due to product mix. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $105 million, a 94 percent increase versus the prior-year quarter. Transformation plan cost reductions, improved manufacturing operations and increased Opteon™ refrigerant contributions were partially offset by unfavorable mix of fluoropolymers products and approximately $11 million of unfavorable currency movements versus the prior-year quarter.
Sequentially, versus the first quarter of 2016, sales and Adjusted EBITDA increased 8 percent and 24 percent, respectively. Seasonally stronger refrigerant sales, along with continued ramp up in Opteon™ refrigerant volumes, more than offset weaker prices related to unfavorable mix of fluoropolymer sales. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by Opteon™ refrigerant growth, lower costs and approximately $4 million of benefit from currency movements in the quarter that were partially offset by the unfavorable product mix.
Chemical Solutions
In the second quarter, Chemical Solutions segment sales were $214 million, a 23 percent decline versus the prior-year quarter, primarily due to pass-through impact on prices of lower raw material costs and the portfolio impact of the Beaumont, TX aniline facility sale. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $11 million, $7 million above the prior-year quarter, reflecting continued benefits from transformation plan initiatives that are lowering operating costs across the segment. The timing of the planned cyanide expansion has been pushed back due to permitting delays, and Chemours now expects the majority of capital expenditures related to the construction will take place in 2017.
Sequentially, sales decreased 13 percent versus the first quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of pass-through pricing, while Adjusted EBITDA was $1 million higher driven primarily by lower operating costs in the second quarter.
In the second quarter, the company completed its strategic review of the Chemicals Solutions segment. On July 29, 2016, the company completed the sale of its Sulfur business to Veolia for approximately $325 million. Chemours expects to close the sale of the Clean and Disinfect (C&D) business to LANXESS for $230 million in the second half of 2016. During the second quarter, activities to shut down the Reactive Metals business in Niagara, NY continued with expected closure by the end of this year.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other represented a negative $40 million of Adjusted EBITDA. Corporate and Other expenses in the second quarter of 2016 increased $18 million and $19 million versus the prior-year quarter and the first quarter 2016, respectively. The increase in expenses primarily related to performance-related compensation adjustments, litigation and other miscellaneous expenses in the quarter.
The company recognized a cash tax rate of approximately 25 percent in the quarter, excluding restructuring and other nonrecurring charges. For the full year 2016, the company expects its cash tax rate to be in the high-teens percentages, taking into consideration the company’s anticipated geographic mix of earnings and additional implications anticipated with the Sulfur and C&D transactions.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2016, gross consolidated debt was $3.9 billion. Debt, net of cash, was $3.5 billion.
Cash balances were $383 million at June 30, 2016. In the quarter, the company retired $50 million of Term Loan B and $42 million of its bonds for a combined cash amount of $85 million. An additional $8 million of bonds were retired in July 2016, completing $100 million of total long term debt repurchased year-to-date. As a result of these purchases, the company expects to save approximately $5 million annually from lower interest obligations.
Excluding the impact of interest payments in the quarter, the company continued to improve working capital performance through better inventory management and collections and payables processes. Year-to-date working capital1 performance and free cash flow improved by $219 million and $347 million, respectively, versus the prior-year, not including the benefit of the DuPont prepayment originally received in February 2016.
Outlook
“We are gaining momentum this year from the success of our transformation plan, including cost reductions, portfolio optimization, the ramp up of OpteonTM products and the expansion at Altamira,” Vergnano continued. “We expect these initiatives along with our TiO2 price increases will deliver full-year Adjusted EBITDA greater than 2015 and generate modestly positive free cash flow. At this point in the year, we believe that our full-year capital expenditures are tracking slightly below $400 million, primarily due to the shift in the timing of the cyanide expansion. We intend to increase our investment in our Corpus Christi site to add flexibility for our anticipated Opteon expansion. We are also investing in other high-return capital projects that will enhance opportunities in our core businesses. We have gained confidence in our ability to realize our transformation plan goals of delivering $350 million of cost reductions and $150 million in Adjusted EBITDA associated with Opteon™ and Altamira through 2017. We believe that we are increasingly well-positioned to continue to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance Chemours’ market leadership as we move forward.”
1 Excludes $131 million of benefit from DuPont prepayment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Within this press release, we make reference to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Income (Loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash from Operations minus cash used for PP&E purchases. The company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in that they provide for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Income (Loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow to evaluate the company’s performance excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges and other special items which we expect to be infrequent in occurrence in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.
Accordingly, the company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, is a useful financial analysis tool that can assist investors in assessing the company’s operating performance and underlying prospects. This analysis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. This analysis, as well as the other information in this press release, should be read in conjunction with the company’s financial statements and footnotes contained in the documents that the company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company in this press release may be different from the methods used by other companies. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the attached schedules or the table, “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures” and materials posted to the website at investors.chemours.com.
