Current report

On October 13, 2025, we entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement ("the Purchase Agreement") with BNP Paribas Factor GmbH (“BNP”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, certain subsidiaries of the Company agreed to offer for sale and to sell, and BNP agreed to purchase, certain eligible receivables and related rights in an amount of up to an aggregate outstanding balance of €180 million. The initial term of the Purchase Agreement extends through October 31, 2026 and will be automatically extended for one-year periods, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

Current report

In August 2025, we entered into a strategic agreement with SRF Limited, a diversified, chemical-based multi-business conglomerate headquartered in India. This collaboration, executed as a part of Pathway to Thrive, strengthens our global supply chain footprint, bolsters operational flexibility, and provides access to capacity for fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.

The agreements will supplement our existing global operations, allowing us to efficiently bring supply flexibility while requiring no upfront capital investment.

Current report

On October 1, 2025, the U.S. federal government entered a shutdown due to the failure to approve appropriations for fiscal year 2026. If a prolonged shutdown occurs, it could result in delays in regulatory approvals, permitting, and environmental remediation activities that are subject to federal oversight. In addition, the shutdown may delay payments under existing government contracts and hinder the initiation of new federally supported programs that are relevant to our business. If the shutdown continues for an extended period, it could result in delayed cash collections, interruptions in project execution, and broader impacts on our supply chain and workforce. These disruptions could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Current report

The following table sets forth the impacts of price, volume, currency, and portfolio changes on our net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same periods in 2024.

Current report

Our restructuring, asset-related, and other charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily attributable to $25 million of non-cash asset-related charges, $18 million of employee separation charges and $3 million of other charges related to the 2024 Restructuring Program initiated in the third quarter of 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we also recorded $8 million of decommissioning and other charges related to the Titanium Technologies Transformation Plan.

Current report

In the third quarter of 2024, we concluded a triggering event was present for our Advanced Performance Materials reporting unit and associated goodwill. As a result of the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis performed, we concluded the carrying amount of the Advanced Performance Materials reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result of this analysis, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $56 million related to the Advanced Performance Materials reporting unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was no goodwill impairment charge. Refer to "Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net" to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.

Current report

We had a benefit from income taxes of $9 million and $0 million forthe three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of (18)% and 0%, respectively. The $9 million increase in our benefit from income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a partial release of our valuation allowance against deferred tax federal and state interest carryforwards, as well as lower pre-tax earnings in comparison to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The valuation allowance release was largely a result of favorable interest deductibility provisions enacted under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Tax Act”).

Current report

The following table sets forth the impacts of price, volume, currency, and portfolio changes on our Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment’s net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024.

Current report

The following table sets forth the impacts of price, volume, currency, and portfolio changes on our Titanium Technologies segment’s net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024.

Current report

Our Titanium Technologies segment’s net sales decreased by $60 million (or 9%) to $612 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with segment net sales of $672 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in segment net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a decrease in price of 8% and a decrease in volume of 2%. Favorable currency movements added a 1% tailwind to the segment's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Current report

Our Titanium Technologies segment’s net sales decreased by $73 million (or 4%) to $1.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with segment net sales of $1.9 billion for the same period in 2024. The decrease in segment net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a decrease in price of 5%, partially offset by a 1% increase in volume.

Current report

The following table sets forth the impacts of price, volume, currency, and portfolio changes on our Advanced Performance Materials segment’s net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024.

Current report

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Segment Adjusted EBITDA deceased by $24 million (or 63%) to $14 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by approximately 600 basis points to 5%, compared with Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $38 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11% for the same period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $17 million (or 15%) to $96 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by approximately 100 basis points to 10%, compared with Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $113 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11% for the same period in 2024. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to the operational impacts related to the outage at the Washington Works site. These disruptions were related to identified damages to critical pieces of equipment that lead to an unscheduled full shutdown at our site, which resulted in a $20 million impact to the third quarter. Additionally, as a result of the lower volumes described in previous paragraphs above, the third quarter was impacted by higher costs as a result of lower fixed cost absorption, partially offset by an increase in price. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to the factors previously mentioned above for the quarter, partially offset by the aforementioned favorable currency movement.

Current report

On October 13, 2025, we entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with BNP, whereby certain subsidiaries of the Company agreed to offer for sale and to sell, and BNP agreed to purchase, certain eligible receivables and related rights in an amount of up to an aggregate outstanding balance of €180 million.

Current report

As further described in “Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net”, we continually monitor macroeconomic and industry-specific conditions for indicators of potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets. During 2025, we evaluated the sustained weakness in the global TiO₂ market, including lower selling prices and utilization levels, as well as delays in the development of hydrogen-related infrastructure affecting certain end markets. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that no triggering events were identified and, accordingly, no interim impairment tests were required. Although no triggering events were identified as of September 30, 2025, both the TiO₂ and hydrogen-related markets remain challenged, and continued adverse trends could negatively affect the expected profitability and future cash-flow forecasts of the related businesses. Should market conditions deteriorate beyond current expectations, we could be required to perform impairment tests in future periods, which may result in the recognition of impairment charges. We will continue to monitor these developments and update its assessments as conditions evolve.

Previous report

In July 2025, we began experiencing production constraints following a local power outage at our Washington Works, West Virginia site. This event caused a full shutdown at our site. After an initial restart and following further assessments, we identified damage to a critical piece of equipment that resulted in unscheduled downtime into August. As a result of this unplanned event, the Advanced Performance Materials segment is expected to have lower sales and incur additional costs in thethird quarter of 2025.

Previous report

The following table sets forth the impacts of price, volume, currency, and portfolio changes on our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with the same periods in 2024.

Previous report

Our net sales increased by $68 million (or 2%) to $3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with net sales of $2.9 billion for the same period in 2024. The increase in our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a 4% increase in volume, partially offset by a 1% decrease in price and unfavorable currency movements adding a 1% headwind to the segment’s net sales as compared to the same period in the prior year. The volume increase and price decrease were attributed to our Thermal & Specialized Solutions and Titanium Technologies segments.

Previous report

The following table sets forth the impacts of price, volume, currency, and portfolio changes on our Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment’s net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024.

Previous report

Our Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment’s net sales increased by $91 million (or 9%) to $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with segment net sales of $972 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in segment net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to an increase in volumes of 11%, partially offset by a decrease in price of 1% and unfavorable currency movements adding a 1% headwind to the segment’s net sales as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in volume was primarily attributable to stronger demand for Opteon™ Refrigerant blends in connection with the stationary AC transition to low global warming potential refrigerants under the U.S. AIM Act, partially offset by lower volumes for Freon™ Refrigerant products in connection with the U.S. AIM Act regulatory transition. The decrease in price was primarily related to softer Freon TM Refrigerant portfolio pricing due to elevated hydrofluorocarbon ("HFC") market inventory levels, partially offset by stronger Opteon TM Refrigerant aftermarket demand portfolio pricing.

The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to higher pricing, partially offset by lower volumes as well as higher costs as a result of lower fixed cost absorption due to lower overall volumes. The increases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were attributable to a mix of lower costs and higher pricing, partially offset by lower volumes and the aforementioned unfavorable currency movement.

Previous wording

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Tax Act”), which includes significant changes to various tax provisions previously enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”). The Tax Act makes permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of TCJA, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. While the legislation was enacted in 2025, the Tax Act has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others effective in future tax years. We are still assessing the full impact of the Tax Act on our consolidated financial statements; however, we expect that a portion of the valuation allowance recorded in this quarter will be released in the third quarter due to some of the Tax Act's favorable changes to interest expense limitations for 2025.

The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to the aforementioned decrease in price as well as operational headwinds in the second quarter that caused higher input and operational costs. These disruptions were primarily caused by a rail line service interruption impacting feedstock mix and other limited operational issues. In order to fulfill customer orders, due to this rail line interruption, we elected to consume higher-cost ore feedstock, which resulted in incremental costs of $15 million in the second quarter. The net costs associated with other one-time operational disruptions were $8 million for the quarter. These factors for the second quarter were partially offset by the favorable currency movements. The decreases in Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to the aforementioned decrease in price, with operational disruptions primarily related to both cold weather downtime that took place in the first quarter as well as the other operational headwinds mentioned above that took place in the second quarter, partially offset by continued cost savings.

Other legal settlements - In addition to the legal items noted above, we have other legal settlements that we expect to pay within the next 12 months and beyond. In November 2023, we, DuPont, Corteva, and EID entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Ohio to settle claims, including for environmental releases or sales of products containing PFAS or other known contaminants. Our share of this settlement is $55 million, representing our portion of the contribution consistent with the MOU entered into among the parties in January 2021. Following the settlement agreement with the State of Ohio and pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with the State of Delaware entered into in 2021, we will also contribute our portion of the supplemental payment to the State of Delaware for $13 million. We expect to pay these amounts in 2025. In June 2025, EID and Chemours reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Hoosick Falls class action lawsuit. Our portion of the total settlement in accordance with the MOU is $13.5 million with $11 million expected to be paid within the next 12 months and the remaining $2.5 million paid in five installments annually. In August 2025, Chemours, Chemours FC LLC, Corteva, EID, DuPont and DuPont Specialty Products (collectively, “the NJ Settling Companies”), and the State of New Jersey agreed to a Judicial Consent Order (“JCO”) on terms consistent with the recommended settlement agreement. Under the JCO, the Companies will make scheduled annual settlement payments totaling $875 million over a 25-year period. Our portion of the scheduled annual settlement payments is $257 million on a net present value basis. We expect that the $150 million consideration pursuant to the PFAS Insurance MOU as well as the $50 million restricted cash in the MOU escrow account will fully fund our New Jersey settlement payment obligations through at least 2030. We have accrued litigation of $497 million at June 30, 2025, which is inclusive of settlement agreements with Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey, and the Hoosick Falls class action lawsuit, of which $203 million is classified as current. Refer to “Note 16 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statementsfor further discussion.

Current wording

Other legal settlements - In addition to the legal items noted above, we have other legal settlements that we expect to pay within the next 12 months and beyond. In November 2023, we, DuPont, Corteva, and EID entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Ohio to settle claims, including for environmental releases or sales of products containing PFAS or other known contaminants. Our share of this settlement is $55 million, representing our portion of the contribution consistent with the MOU entered into among the parties in January 2021. Following the settlement agreement with the State of Ohio and pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with the State of Delaware entered into in 2021, we will also contribute our portion of the supplemental payment to the State of Delaware for $13 million. We expect to pay the amounts related to the State of Ohio in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the amounts related to the State of Delaware in the first half of 2026. In June 2025, EID and Chemours reached an agreement in principle to resolve the Hoosick Falls class action lawsuit. Our portion of the total settlement in accordance with the MOU is $13.5 million with $11 million expected to be paid within the next 12 months and the remaining $2.5 million paid in five installments annually. In August 2025, Chemours, Chemours FC LLC, Corteva, EID, DuPont and DuPont Specialty Products (collectively, “the NJ Settling Companies”), and the State of New Jersey agreed to a Judicial Consent Order (“JCO”) on terms consistent with the recommended settlement agreement. Under the JCO, the Companies will make scheduled annual settlement payments totaling $875 million over a 25-year period. Our portion of the scheduled annual settlement payments is $263 million as of September 30, 2025 on a net present value basis. We expect that the $150 million consideration pursuant to the PFAS Insurance MOU as well as the $50 million restricted cash in the MOU escrow account will fully fund our New Jersey settlement payment obligations through at least 2030. We have accrued litigation of $506 million at September 30, 2025, which is inclusive of settlement agreements with Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey, and the Hoosick Falls class action lawsuit, of which $207 million is classified as current. Refer to “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statementsfor further discussion.

Current wording

The following table sets forth a summary of the net cash provided by (used for) our operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Previous wording

We used $19 million and $910 million in cash flows for our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in our operating cash outflows was primarily attributable to the release of the $592 million of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents deposited in the qualified settlement fund per the terms of the U.S. public water system settlement agreement following Final Judgment, as defined in the U.S. public water settlement agreement, along with the unwinding of year-end 2023 net working capital actions, both of which had an unfavorable cash flow impact on the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in our operating cash outflows was partially offset by lower earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Current wording

We generated $127 million in cash flows from our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Comparatively, we used $771 million in cash flows for our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in our operating cash inflows was primarily attributable to the release of the $592 million of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents deposited in the qualified settlement fund per the terms of the U.S. public water system settlement agreement following Final Judgment, as defined in the U.S. public water settlement agreement, along with the unwinding of year-end 2023 net working capital actions, both of which had an unfavorable cash flow impact on the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Our accounts and notes receivable, net increased by $189 million (or 25%) to $959 million at June 30, 2025, compared with accounts and notes receivable, net of $770 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in our accounts and notes receivable, net at June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to higher sales in the second quarter of 2025 driving higher receivables when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by higher usage of our Accounts Receivable Securitization facility.

Our Advanced Performance Materials segment’s net sales decreased by $43 million (or 12%) to $311 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with segment net sales of $354 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in segment net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to a decrease in volume of 15%, partially offset by an increase in price of 2%. Favorable currency movements added a 1% tailwind to the segment's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in volume was primarily driven by operational impacts related to the outage at the Washington Works site, the exit of the SPS Capstone TM product line as well as weakness in cyclical end markets impacting Advanced Materials and products serving hydrogen markets under Performance Solutions. The increase in price was primarily driven by stronger pricing in high-value applications as well as pricing opportunities associated with the exit of the SPS Capstone™ product line.
