In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $1.86bn and a net loss of $110.9m. At that date it held total assets of $1.82bn and shareholders' equity of $751.1m.

In its own words

Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: KRO) (“Kronos”), incorporated in Delaware in 1989, is a leading global producer and marketer of value-added titanium dioxide pigments, or TiO2, a base industrial product used in a wide range of applications. We, along with our distributors and agents, sell and provide technical services for our products to approximately 3,000 customers in 100 countries with the majority of our sales in Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region. We believe we have developed considerable expertise and efficiency in the manufacture, sale, shipment and service of our products in domestic and international markets. Effective July 16, 2024 (“Acquisition Date”), we acquired the 50% joint venture interest in Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. (“LPC”) held by Venator Investments, Ltd. (“Venator”) for consideration of $185 million less a working capital adjustment. Prior to the acquisition, we held a 50% joint venture interest in LPC through a wholly-owned subsidiary. LPC was operated as a manufacturing joint venture between us and Venator. Following the acquisition, LPC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. In 2025, we merged LPC into our wholly-owned subsidiary Kronos Louisiana, Inc. (the combined company is referred to as “Kronos Louisiana”). See Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
