TRONOX HOLDINGS PLC

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, 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. It is our long-term strategic goal to be vertically integrated and consume all of our feedstock materials in our own nine TiO2 pigment facilities which we operate 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 Zircon and pig iron, 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.

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 March 31, 2022, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.

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 Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform Financial 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. 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.

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. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were approximately $6 million and $2 million, respectively. Contract liability balances were reported as “Accounts payable” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  All material contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 were recognized as revenue in “Net sales” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the first quarter of 2022.

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:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
North America	$	195	$	169
South and Central America	67		63
Europe, Middle-East and Africa	377		357
Asia Pacific	326		302
Total net sales	$	965	$	891

Net sales from external customers for each similar type of product were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
TiO2	$	773	$	696
Zircon	108		123
Feedstock and other products	84		72
Total net sales	$	965	$	891

Feedstock and other products mainly include pig iron, ilmenite, chloride (“CP”) slag, TiCl4 and other mining products.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our ten largest third-party customers represented 30% and 29%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no single customer accounted for 10% of our consolidated net sales.

11

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:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Income tax (provision) benefit	$	(18)		$	(6)
Income before income taxes	$	34		$	32
Effective tax rate	53		%	19		%

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 March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 19%. The effective tax rates for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are influenced 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 March 31, 2022 was significantly impacted by the non-deductible Venator settlement, the related interest expense from the Venator settlement in a jurisdiction with a full valuation allowance, and 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.

We continue to maintain full valuation allowances related to the total net deferred tax assets in Australia, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as we cannot objectively assert that these deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. It is reasonably possible that a portion of these valuation allowances could be reversed within the next year, particularly in Australia due to its increased level of profitability. 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 South Africa and the United States.

We currently have no uncertain tax positions recorded; however, it is reasonably possible that this could change in the next 12 months.

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.

4.    Income Per Share

The computation of basic and diluted income per share for the periods indicated is as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Numerator - Basic and Diluted:
Net income	$	16	$	26
Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest	—		7
Net income available to ordinary shares	$	16	$	19
Denominator - Basic and Diluted:
Weighted-average ordinary shares, basic (in thousands)	154,629		147,071
Weighted-average ordinary shares, diluted (in thousands)	159,577		153,928
Basic net income per ordinary share	$	0.10	$	0.13
Diluted net income per ordinary share	$	0.10	$	0.12

Net income per ordinary share amounts were calculated from exact, not rounded net income and share information.  Anti-dilutive shares not recognized in the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	Shares
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022	2021
Options	408,641	1,195,305
Restricted share units	1,029,052	924,385

5.    Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On March 15, 2022, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization arrangement (“Securitization Facility”) with a financial institution, through our wholly owned special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary Tronox Securitization LLC (“ SPE”). The purpose of this arrangement 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 receivable on a periodic basis to the SPE. The SPE in turn sells undivided interests in the portion 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, not to exceed the 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 receivables 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.

During 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 March 31, 2022, we also retained approximately $31 million of unsold receivables which we pledged as collateral for the sold receivables. As this transaction represents a true sale, we derecognized the sold receivables from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 and classified the cash proceeds as source of cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This transaction has a one year term which ends on March 14, 2023.

_______________

(1)The average effective interest rate on the Term Loan Facility and Standard Bank Term Loan Facility was 4.5% and 6.3%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The average effective interest rate on the previous Term Loan Facility and previous Standard Bank Term Loan Facility was 4.5% and 6.5%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 is primarily a result of the impact of foreign currency translation due to the appreciation of the South African Rand.

(2)The MGT loan is a related party debt facility. The average effective interest rate on the MGT loan was 3.23% and 3.11% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Emirates Revolver

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Emirates Revolver from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023.

Term Loan Facility

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we amended and restated our prior Term Loan Facility with a new first lien credit agreement. As a result of this transaction and in accordance with ASC 470, we recognized approximately $4 million in "Loss on Extinguishment of Debt" recorded in the unaudited condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Term Loan Facility bears interest at either the base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Based on our first lien net leverage ratio pursuant to the Term Loan Facility agreement, the applicable margin under the New Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2022 was LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%.

Senior Notes due 2029

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Tronox Incorporated closed an offering of $1,075 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% senior notes due 2029 (the "Senior Notes due 2029"). As a result of this transaction, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of $615 million on its Senior Notes due 2026 and recorded $30 million of debt

17

extinguishment costs, including a call premium of $21 million, in "Loss on Extinguishment of Debt" on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

2022 Term Loan Facility

On April 4, 2022, Tronox Finance LLC (the "Borrower"), the Borrower's indirect parent company, Tronox Holdings plc (the "Company"), certain of the Company's subsidiaries, the incremental term lender party thereto, and HSBC Bank USA. National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, entered into Amendment No. 1 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.

The proceeds of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans were used on April 4, 2022, along with cash on hand, to redeem all outstanding 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 issued by Tronox Incorporated under the Indenture dated as of May 1, 2020 with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent and to pay transaction related costs and expenses. In connection with such redemption, all security interests and liens granted to Wilmington Trust, National Association, were automatically terminated and discharged.

As a result of this transaction, we recognized approximately $1 million in "Loss on Extinguishment of Debt" on the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, we estimate that we will recognize approximately $20 million (which includes a call premium of $18 million) of "Loss on Extinguishment of Debt" in the second quarter of 2022.

Debt Covenants

As of March 31, 2022, we are in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt facilities.

Interest Rate Risk

During the second quarter of 2019, we entered into interest-rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $750 million, representing a portion of our previous Term Loan Facility, which effectively converts the variable rate to a fixed rate for that portion of the loan. The agreements expire in September 2024. The Company’s objectives in using the interest-rate swap agreements are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its 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 interest rate hedges are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the net unrealized gain of $3 million and the net unrealized loss of $25 million, respectively, was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the amount recorded in interest expense related to the interest-rate swap agreements was $4 million and $4 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) when the transactions are no longer probable of occurring.

As of March 31, 2022, we had notional amounts of 338 million Australian dollars (or approximately $254 million at March 31, 2022 the exchange rate) that expire between April 28, 2022 and December 30, 2022 to reduce the exposure of our Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales to fluctuations in currency rates. As of March 31, 2022, we had notional amounts of 3.2 billion South African Rand (approximately $222 million at the March 31, 2022 exchange rate) that expire between April 28, 2022 and December 30, 2022 to reduce the exposure of our South African subsidiaries' third party sales to fluctuations in currency rates. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was an unrealized net gain of $27 million and $15 million, respectively, recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $25 million is expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. Of the $25 million, $23 million is expected to be recognized in earnings during the remainder of 2022.

19

We enter into foreign currency contracts for the South African Rand and Australian Dollar 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 March 31, 2022, there was (i) 638 million South African Rand (or approximately $44 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) and (ii) 167 million Australian dollars (or approximately $125 million at the March 31, 2022 exchange rate) of notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency contracts. At December 31, 2021, there was (i) 510 million South African Rand (or approximately $35 million at the March 31, 2022 exchange rate) and (ii) 172 million Australian dollars (or approximately $129 million at the March 31, 2022 exchange rate) of notional amounts 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

Our debt is recorded at historical amounts. The following table presents the fair value of our debt and derivative contracts at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
	Asset	Liability	Asset	Liability
Term Loan Facility	—	887	—	895
Standard Bank Term Loan Facility	—	98	—	92
Senior Notes due 2029	—	1,008	—	1,071
6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025	—	518	—	526
Australian Government Loan	—	1	—	1
MGT Loan	—	32	—	33
Interest rate swaps	3	—	—	25
Natural gas hedges	3	—	1	—
Foreign currency contracts	27	—	3	1

We determined the fair value of the Term Loan Facility, the Senior Notes due 2029 and 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.

We determined the fair value of the foreign currency contracts, natural gas hedges and the interest rate swaps using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. The fair value hierarchy for the foreign currency contracts, natural gas hedges and interest rate swaps is a Level 2 input.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

14.    Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations consist primarily of rehabilitation and restoration costs, landfill capping costs, decommissioning costs, and closure and post-closure costs. Activities related to asset retirement obligations were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Beginning balance	$	149	$	166
Accretion expense	4		3

Current portion included in “Accrued liabilities”	$	9	$	10
Noncurrent portion included in “Asset retirement obligations”	146		139
Asset retirement obligations	$	155	$	149

15.    Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase and Capital Commitments — Includes obligations for purchase requirements of process chemicals, supplies, utilities and services entered into in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2022, purchase commitments were $223 million for 2022, $122 million for 2023, $146 million for 2024, $75 million for 2025, $67 million for 2026, and $595 million thereafter.

Letters of Credit—At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $58 million, of which $21 million were letters of credit and $37 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 TiO2 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.  In 1984, a predecessor of Cristal and the Maryland Department of the Environment (“MDE”) entered into a consent decree (the “Consent Decree”) to address the Batch Attack Lagoon.  The Consent Decree required that Cristal close the Batch Attack Lagoon when the Hawkins Point Plant ceased operations.  In addition, we are investigating whether hazardous substances are migrating from the Batch Attack Lagoon.   A provision of $59 million has been made in our financial statements for the Hawkins Point Plant consistent with the accounting policy described above. We are in discussions with the MDE regarding a new consent decree to address both the Batch Attack Lagoon as well as other environmental contamination issues associated with the Hawkins Point Plant.

21

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:

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 three months ended 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. While the Company believes it complied with the rules relevant to obtaining an exemption from stamp duties in connection with the Re-Domicile Transaction, if an unfavorable ruling is received from 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.

Repurchase of Common Stock

As previously announced, on November 9, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company's stock through February 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased a total of 1,386,221 shares on the open market at an average price of $18.03 per share and at an aggregate cost of approximately $25 million, including sales commissions. Upon repurchase of the shares by the Company, the shares were cancelled. Under the authorization from our Board of Directors, we have approximately $275 million available for additional repurchases through February 2024.

17.    Share-Based Compensation

Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”)

2022 Grant - During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted both time-based and performance-based awards to certain members of management. A total of 520,186 of time-based awards were granted to management which will vest ratably over a three-year period ending March 5, 2025. A total of 508,866 of performance-based awards were granted, of which 254,433 of the awards vest based on a relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") calculation and 254,433 of the awards vest based on certain performance metrics of the Company. The non-TSR performance-based awards vest on March 5, 2025 based on the achievement against the target average company performance of three separate performance periods, commencing on January 1 of each 2022, 2023, and 2024 and ending on December 31 of each 2022, 2023 and 2024, for which, for each performance period, the performance metric is an average annual return on invested capital (ROIC) improvement versus 2021 ROIC. Similar to the Company's historical TSR awards granted in prior years, the TSR awards vest based on the Company's three-year TSR versus the peer group performance levels. Given these terms, the TSR metric is considered a market condition for which we used a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the weighted average grant date fair value of $34.26. The following weighted average assumptions were utilized to value the TSR grants:

	2022
Dividend yield	1.73	%
Expected historical volatility	68.6	%
Risk free interest rate	1.40	%
Expected life (in years)	3

The unrecognized compensation cost associated with all unvested awards at March 31, 2022 was $49 million, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $7 million and $9 million of stock compensation expense, respectively.

There were 3,251 options exercised during the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 with an intrinsic value of less than $0.1 million. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

19.    Related Parties

Tasnee / Cristal

At March 31, 2022, 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”).

24

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 March 31, 2022, we have lent AMIC the Tronox Loans maximum amount of $125 million. We have recorded the $125 million of total principal loan payments and related interest of $9 million within “Other long-term assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022. The Option did not have a significant impact on the financial statements as of or for the period ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Tronox recorded $9 million in "Cost of goods sold" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for purchases of feedstock material produced by the Slagger. At March 31, 2022, the amount is also 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.

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 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 monthly management fee of approximately $1 million, which is recorded in “Other expense, net” within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and in “Prepaid and other assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The monthly management fee is subject to certain success incentives if and when the Slagger achieves the Option Criteria. Tronox recorded approximately $2 million and $2 million in "Other expense, net" for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. At March 31, 2022, Tronox had a receivable due from AMIC related to the management fee of $1 million that is recorded within “Prepaid and other assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At March 31, 2022 Tronox had a receivable due from Tasnee of $8 million recorded within “Prepaid and other assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related primarily to $5 million of stamp duty and other taxes reimbursable from Tasnee and $3 million for pre-acquisition period tax settlements in process with certain tax authorities also 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 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. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of the note payable was $32 million, of which $5 million is expected to be paid within the next twelve months. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, Tronox recorded $1 million and $1 million, respectively, for MGT Loan repayments to Cristal which are recorded within "Net sales" on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

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

25

March 31, 2021, Tronox recorded $6 million and $9 million, respectively, for MGT sales made to ATTM. The MGT sales are recorded in “Net sales” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. At March 31, 2022, Tronox had a receivable from ATTM of $7 million from MGT sales that is recorded within “Prepaid and other assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Tronox Holdings plc’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. This discussion and other sections in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements also can be identified by words such as “future”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “predicts”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “can”, “may”, and similar terms.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains certain financial measures, in particular the presentation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). We are presenting these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures because we believe they provide us and readers of this Form 10-Q with additional insight into our operational performance relative to earlier periods and relative to our competitors. We do not intend for these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial information. Readers of these statements should use these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is also provided herein.

Overview

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, 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. It is our long-term strategic goal to be vertically integrated and consume all of our feedstock materials in our own nine TiO2 pigment facilities which we operate 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 Zircon and pig iron, 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.

Business Environment

The following discussion includes trends and factors that may affect future operating results:

First quarter revenue increased 8% compared to the prior year, driven by higher revenue from TiO2 and pig iron. Compared to the prior year, TiO2 average selling prices increased 20% on a local currency basis and 18% on a US dollar basis and Zircon average selling prices increased 43%. TiO2 volumes declined 6% and Zircon volumes declined 38% year-over-year, both driven by higher sales from inventory in the year ago quarter. Revenue from feedstock and other products increased 17% compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher pig iron volumes and higher pig iron average selling prices.

Sequentially, revenue increased 9% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, as price increases of TiO2 and Zircon and increased TiO2 volumes were partially offset by volume declines of Zircon and pig iron. TiO2 average selling prices grew 6% sequentially on both a local currency and US dollar basis. TiO2 volumes increased 9% sequentially, in-line with expectations. Revenue from Zircon decreased 9% sequentially, as a 14% increase in average selling prices due to improved pricing, was offset by 20% lower sales volumes. Feedstock and other product revenues decreased 8% sequentially mainly due to both lower pig iron volumes and selling prices.

27

First quarter gross profit increased year over year due to the favorable impacts of average selling prices and favorable exchange rates, partially offset by headwinds from lower sales volumes of both TiO2 and Zircon, extended downtime at our Stallingborough TiO2 pigment plant, higher production costs due to inflationary cost pressures and increased freight rates.

As of March 31, 2022, our total available liquidity was $758 million, including $292 million in cash and cash equivalents and $466 million available under revolving credit agreements.

As of March 31, 2022, our total debt was $2.6 billion and net debt to trailing-twelve month Adjusted EBITDA was 2.4x. In April 2022, we entered into an amendment of our existing credit agreement with HSBC as administrative agent which provides us with a new seven-year incremental term loan facility of $400 million. The proceeds were used, along with cash on hand, to redeem all of the outstanding 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025. With the close of this transaction, we achieved our previously stated $2.5 billion gross debt target, ahead of our 2023 goal, while also reducing cash interest payments, extending maturities, and increasing prepayable debt. See note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  In April 2022, we drew down $85 million on our Cash Flow Revolver which was utilized to make the payment to Venator.

The Company also has no financial covenants on its term loan or bonds and only one springing financial covenant on its Cash Flow revolver facility, which we do not expect to be triggered based on our current scenario planning.

(1)EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of these measures and a reconciliation of these measures to Net income from operations.

Net sales of $965 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 8%, compared to $891 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher average selling prices of TiO2, Zircon and pig iron.

Net sales by type of product for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021		Variance		Percentage
TiO2	$	773	$	696	$	77	11	%
Zircon	108		123		(15)		(12)	%
Feedstock and other products	84		72		12		17	%
Total net sales	$	965	$	891	$	74	8	%

29

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, TiO2 revenue was higher by 11% or $77 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to $133 million increase in average selling prices partially offset by a decrease of $42 million in sales volumes. Foreign currency negatively impacted TiO2 revenue by $14 million primarily due to the weakening of the Euro. Zircon revenue decreased $15 million primarily due to a 38% decrease in sales volumes partially offset by a 43% increase in average selling prices. Feedstock and other products revenues increased $12 million from the year-ago quarter primarily due to an increase in both average selling prices and sales volumes of pig iron.

Gross profit of $232 million was 24.0% of net sales compared to 23.1% of net sales in the year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to:

•the favorable impact of 15 points primarily due to an increase in both TiO2, Zircon and pig iron selling prices,

•the net favorable impact of 2 points due to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily as a result of the South African Rand and Australian dollar, partially offset by,

•the unfavorable impact of 1 point due to the headwinds as a result of extended downtime at our Stallingborough TiO2 pigment plant, and

•the unfavorable impact of 15 points due to product mix and higher production costs and increased freight rates which were offset by favorable overhead absorption and cost savings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3 million or 4% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease is mainly due to lower employee costs of $7 million, driven by lower bonus accruals year-over-year as well as one-time charges related to the prior year CEO transition incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 which did not recur in 2022. These decreases were partially offset by higher travel and entertainment expenses of $2 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 was $69 million compared to $125 million in the prior year period. The decrease of $56 million was primarily due to the Venator settlement of $85 million (discussed above) partially offset by higher TiO2, Zircon and pig iron selling prices.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $18 million compared to the same period of 2021 primarily due to lower average debt outstanding balances primarily on the Term Loan Facility and the Standard Bank Term Loan Facility as well as lower average interest rates mainly on the Senior Notes due 2029 as compared to the Senior Notes due 2026 and the Senior Notes due 2025.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 which is as a result of the redemption of the 6.5% Senior Secured Notes and issuance of a new term loan which closed in April 2022 but in which expenses were incurred in the current quarter.

Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consisted of approximately $8 million of net realized and unrealized foreign currency losses partially offset by $2 million associated with the monthly technical service fee relating to the Jazan slagger we receive from AMIC and $1 million of pension income primarily due to expected return on plan assets offset by pension related interest costs and amortization of actuarial gains/losses. The remaining balance was driven by individually immaterial amounts.

We continue to maintain full valuation allowances related to the total net deferred tax assets in Australia, 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. Additionally, we have valuation allowances against other specific tax assets.

On a reported basis, the effective tax rate was 53% and 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are influenced 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 March 31, 2022 was significantly impacted by the non-deductible Venator settlement, the related interest expense on the Venator settlement in a jurisdiction with a full valuation allowance, and a $7 million deferred tax benefit from statutory tax rate changes in two foreign jurisdictions.

30

Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income was $109 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to other comprehensive loss of $34 million for the prior year period. The increase in other comprehensive income in 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $42 million in the prior year quarter as well as favorable net unrealized gains on derivatives of $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to favorable net unrealized gains on derivatives of $8 million for the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents our liquidity as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
	(Millions of U.S. dollars)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	292	$	228
Available under the new Cash Flow Revolver	329		329
Available under the Standard Credit Facility	68		63
Available under the Emirates Revolver	50		38
Available under the SABB Facility	19		19
Total	$	758	$	677

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.

In April 2022, we drew down $85 million on our Cash Flow Revolver which was utilized to make the payment to Venator.

Working capital (calculated as current assets less current liabilities) was $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of our Senior Notes due 2029 represented approximately 20% of our total consolidated liabilities and approximately 27% of our total consolidated assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of our Senior Notes due 2029 represented approximately 42% of our total consolidated net sales and approximately 44% of our consolidated EBITDA (as such term is defined in the 2029 Indenture). In addition, as of March 31, 2022, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had $828 million of total consolidated liabilities (including trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities), all of which would have been structurally senior to the 2029 Notes. See Note 11 of notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $58 million. See Note 15 of notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include (i) debt covenants that limit our total borrowing capacity; (ii) increasing interest rates applicable to our floating rate debt; (iii) increasing demands from third parties for financial assurance or credit enhancement; (iv) credit rating downgrades, which could limit our access to additional debt; (v) a decrease in the market price of our common stock and debt obligations; and (vi) volatility in public debt and equity markets.

31

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our credit rating with Moody’s changed positively to Ba3 stable outlook from B1 stable outlook at December 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our credit rating with Standard & Poor's changed positively to B positive outlook from B stable outlook at December 31, 2021. See Note 11 of notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022, 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. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit and money market accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The financial institutions where our cash and cash equivalents are held are highly rated and geographically dispersed, and we have a policy to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk.

The use of our cash includes payment of our operating expenses, capital expenditures, servicing our interest and debt repayment obligations, cash taxes, making pension contributions and making quarterly dividend payments. Going forward, we expect to continue to invest in our businesses through cost reduction, as well as growth and vertical integration-related capital expenditures including projects such as newTRON and various mine development projects, continued reductions in our debt, continued annual dividend increases and share repurchases.

Repatriation of Cash

At March 31, 2022, we held $292 million in cash and cash equivalents in these respective jurisdictions: $129 million in the United States, $13 million in Europe, $59 million in Australia, $30 million in South Africa, $28 million in Brazil, $13 million in Saudi Arabia, $18 million in China and $2 million in India. Our credit facilities limit transfers of funds from subsidiaries in the United States to certain foreign subsidiaries. In addition, at March 31, 2022, we held $4 million of restricted cash of which $3 million is in Australia related to performance bonds and $1 million is in Saudi Arabia related to vendor supply agreement guarantees.

Tronox Holdings plc has foreign subsidiaries with undistributed earnings at March 31, 2022. We have made no provision for deferred taxes related to these undistributed earnings because they are considered indefinitely reinvested in the foreign jurisdictions.

Stock Repurchases

As previously announced, on November 9, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company's stock through February 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased a total of 1,386,221 shares on the open market at an average price of $18.03 per share and at an aggregate cost of approximately $25 million, including sales commissions. Upon repurchase of the shares by the Company, the shares were cancelled. Under the authorization from our Board of Directors, we have approximately $275 million available for additional repurchases through February 2024.

Cash Dividends on Ordinary Shares

On February 23, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share to holders of our ordinary shares at the close of business on March 7, 2022, which was paid on April 8, 2022.

Debt Obligations

2022 Term Loan Facility

On April 4, 2022, Tronox Finance LLC (the "Borrower"), the Borrower's indirect parent company, Tronox Holdings plc (the "Company"), certain of the Company's subsidiaries, the incremental term lender party thereto, and HSBC Bank USA. National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment provides the Borrower with a new seven-year

32

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.

The proceeds of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans were used on April 4, 2022, along with cash on hand, to redeem all of the outstanding 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 issued by Tronox Incorporated under the Indenture dated as of May 1, 2020 with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent and to pay transaction related costs and expenses. In connection with such redemption, all security interests and liens granted to Wilmington Trust, National Association, were automatically terminated and discharged.

As a result of this transaction, we recognized approximately $1 million in "Loss on Extinguishment of Debt" on the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, we estimate that we will recognize approximately $20 million (which includes a call premium of $18 million) of "Loss on Extinguishment of Debt" in the second quarter of 2022.

At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our long-term debt, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs was $2.6 billion. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our net debt (the excess of our debt over cash and cash equivalents) was $2.3 billion. See Note 11 of notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On March 15, 2022, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization arrangement (“Securitization Facility”) with a financial institution, through our wholly owned special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, Tronox Securitization LLC (“SPE”). The Securitization Facility permits the SPE to sell accounts receivable up to $75 million.

See “Note 5 – Accounts Receivable Securitization Program” in notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this off-balance sheet arrangement.

Cash Flows

The following table presents cash flow for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
	(Millions of U.S. dollars)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	189	$	135
Cash used in investing activities	(102)		(57)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(29)		48
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	6		(7)
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	64	$	119

Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities — Cash provided by operating activities of $189 million is primarily driven by $185 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items and a net cash inflow of $4 million related to changes in assets and liabilities. The following table provides our net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31,

33

2022 and 2021:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
	(Millions of U.S. dollars)
Net income	$	16	$	26
Adjustments for non-cash items	169		141
Income related cash generation	185		167
Net change in assets and liabilities	4		(32)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	189	$	135

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $54 million year-over-year from net cash provided by operations of $135 million in the prior year to net cash provided by operating activities of $189 million during the current year. This improvement was generated primarily due to improved working capital management of $34 million coupled with higher net income adjusted for non-cash items of $18 million.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $102 million as compared to $57 million for the same period in 2021 primarily due to increased capital expenditures of $103 million during the current year as compared to $58 million in the prior year.

Cash Flows (used in) provided by Financing Activities —Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $29 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily comprised of $25 million used in the repurchase of the Company's stock as part of our previously announced share repurchase program and repayments of long-term debt of $3 million on our Standard Bank Term Loan Facility. The three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily comprised of $2,375 million from the proceeds from the issuance of the $1,075 million 4.625% Senior Notes due 2029 and borrowings of $1,300 million under the new term loan facility. These borrowings were partially offset by repayments of long-term debt of $2,260 million associated with our previously disclosed debt refinancing transactions, a $21 million call premium associated with the notes redemption, $30 million of debt issuance costs and $14 million of dividends paid.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth information relating to our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2022:

	Contractual Obligation Payments Due by Year (3)(4)
	Total		Less than 1 year	1-3 years	3-5 years	More than 5 years
	(Millions of U.S. dollars)
Long-term debt, net and lease financing (including interest) (1)	$	3,258	633	234	252	2,139
Purchase obligations (2)	1,228		223	268	142	595
Operating leases	228		31	46	30	121
Asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities(5)	456		29	27	28	372
Total	$	5,170	916	575	452	3,227

__________________

(1)We calculated the Term Loan Facility interest at a LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25%. See Note 11 of notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2)Includes obligations for purchase requirements of process chemicals, supplies, utilities and services. We have various purchase commitments for materials, supplies, and services entered into in the ordinary course of business. Included in the purchase commitments table above are contracts, which require minimum volume purchases that extend beyond one year or are renewable annually and have been renewed for 2022. Certain contracts allow for changes in minimum

required purchase volumes in the event of a temporary or permanent shutdown of a facility. We believe that all of our purchase obligations will be utilized in our normal operations.

(3)The table excludes contingent obligations, as well as any possible payments for uncertain tax positions given the inability to estimate the possible amounts and timing of any such payments.

(4)The table excludes commitments pertaining to our pension and other postretirement obligations.

(5)Asset retirement obligations and environmental liabilities are shown at the undiscounted and uninflated values.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, 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, realized and unrealized foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses.

Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors, as it is commonly used in the industry as a means of evaluating operating performance. We do not intend for these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial information. Readers of these statements should use these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Since other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures:

•reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in our business, as they exclude income and expense that are not reflective of ongoing operating results;

•provide useful information in understanding and evaluating our operating results and comparing financial results across periods; and

•provide a normalized view of our operating performance by excluding items that are either noncash or infrequently occurring.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures management uses for planning and budgeting processes, and to monitor and evaluate financial and operating results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation.

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 regulations or any environmental law or regulation enacted in the future is not likely to have a material effect on our business. We believe we are in compliance with applicable environmental rules and regulations in all material respects.

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, 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our ten largest third-party customers represented 30% and 29%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 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 new Term Loan Facility, Standard Bank Term Loan Facility, and new Cash Flow Revolver, Standard Bank Revolver, Emirates Revolver and SABB Credit Facility balances. Using a sensitivity analysis as of March 31, 2022, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would result in a net decrease to pre-tax income of approximately $3 million on an annualized basis. This is due to the fact that earnings on our floating rate financial assets of $28 million at March 31, 2022 would increase by the full 1%, offsetting the impact of a 1% increase in interest expense on our floating rate debt of $282 million.

During 2019, we entered into interest-rate swap agreements for a portion of our previous Term Loan Facility, which effectively converts the variable rate to a fixed rate for a portion of the loan. The agreements expire in September 2024. The Company’s objectives in using the interest-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.

38

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 and the Australian Dollar 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 March 31, 2022, we had notional amounts of 338 million Australian dollars (or approximately $254 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) that expire between April 28, 2022 and December 30, 2022 to reduce the exposure of our Australian subsidiaries’ cost of sales to fluctuations in currency rates. As of March 31, 2022, we had notional amounts of 3.2 billion South African Rand (approximately $222 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) that expire between April 28, 2022 and December 30, 2022 to reduce the exposure of our South African subsidiaries' third party sales to fluctuations in currency rates. Refer to Note 12 in notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency contracts for the South African Rand and Australian dollar to reduce exposure of our subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts not denominated in our subsidiaries' functional currency to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. At March 31, 2022, there was (i) 638 million South African Rand (or approximately $44 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) and (ii) 167 million Australian dollars (or approximately $125 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) of notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency contracts. At December 31, 2021, there was (i) 510 million South African Rand (or approximately $35 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) and (ii) 172 million Australian dollars (or approximately $129 million at March 31, 2022 exchange rate) of notional amounts outstanding foreign currency contracts. Refer to Note 12 in notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 March 31, 2022, 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

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, there were no 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.
