$KRO Might also expect a shift towards its parent company VHI as the dividend differential has been removed. VHI essentially owns 83% of KRO but has the benefit of having other profitable businesses (CIX and real estate) to weather any TiO2 cycles a bit better. VHI has been massively undervalued relative to KRO, possibly due to the huge dividend differential.

$KRO The 70% dividend cut will naturally disappoint many investors, but otherwise the fundamentals here have improved following the acquisition. Expect it to rise again when dividend investors offload, it was exceptionally high before, will still be 2% or so at current valuation

$KRO Kronos expects higher operating results for 2024 versus 2023 The company said, "Throughout 2023, Kronos implemented cost reduction initiatives designed to improve its long-term cost structure, including targeted workforce reductions. In April 2024, Kronos announced plans to close the sulfate process line at its facility in Canada, which will further improve gross margins after the charges (primarily non-cash) related to the closure are recognized in the second and third quarters. In this regard, in addition to the approximately $2 million in cash charges related to workforce reductions noted above, Kronos expects to recognize non-cash charges of approximately $10 million in the second quarter and approximately $5 million in the third quarter related to accelerated depreciation. Raw material, energy and other input costs have generally improved compared to 2023. While the full positive impact of input cost improvements and cost reduction efforts are not yet fully reflected in Kronos' gross margin, Kronos did experience improved gross margins during the second quarter that it expects to build on over the remainder of the year as it replaces higher cost inventory with lower cost inventory produced in 2024. Overall, if Kronos experiences improved demand, higher selling prices and lower production costs, including lower unabsorbed fixed costs, as it currently anticipates, Kronos expects to report higher operating results for the full year of 2024 as compared to 2023."

$KRO Kronos Worldwide sees Q2 sales $495M-$510M, consensus $568M Sees Q2 EBITDA $49M-$56M. The company said, "TiO2 sales volumes in the second quarter of 2024 are expected to be approximately 134,000 metric tons which is 29% higher than the second quarter of 2023 and 3% higher than the first quarter of 2024. Compared to the second quarter of 2023 the increase in net sales was somewhat offset by lower average TiO2 selling prices; however, compared to the first quarter of 2024 slightly higher average TiO2 selling prices favorably impacted net sales. TiO2 production volumes in the second quarter of 2024 are expected to be approximately 137,000 metric tons, which is 54% higher than the second quarter of 2023 and 13% higher than the first quarter of 2024."

$KRO Kronos Worldwide reports acquisition of 50% JV interest in LPC Effective July 16, Kronos Worldwide has acquired the 50% joint venture interest in Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. previously held by Venator Investments, Ltd. Prior to the acquisition, Kronos, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, held a 50% joint venture interest in LPC. Following the acquisition, LPC is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Kronos. Kronos acquired the 50% joint venture interest that it did not already own for an upfront cash payment of $185M subject to working capital adjustments and a potential earn-out payment of up to $15M based on Kronos' aggregate consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense, or EBITDA, during a two-year period comprising calendar years 2025 and 2026. "This acquisition is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Kronos to add value to our customers and better serve the North American market," said James M. Buch, Kronos CEO. "With full ownership of the LPC facility, Kronos will expand its product offerings and increase sales to new and existing customers while recognizing significant synergies including commercial, overhead and supply chain optimization. By implementing process innovations to increase capacity and improve efficiency using proven technology utilized at other Kronos facilities, we will be better positioned to serve our customers. LPC is the newest chloride-process TiO2 production facility operating in the Western world and we are excited to fully integrate LPC as part of Kronos and to invest in the future of this world class facility." In connection with its acquisition of the 50% joint venture interest and to support Kronos' general liquidity needs, Kronos has also completed an amendment to its $225M global revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo. Among other things, the amendment increases the maximum borrowing amount from $225M-$300M, extends the maturity date to 2029 and expands the facility to include LPC and LPC's receivables and certain of its inventories in the borrowing base.
