Building on a firm foundation, I am excited to lead us into the next chapter of our company – ‘Chemours 2.0’ – as we look to realize the full potential of our businesses. I look forward to beginning this journey by engaging even more deeply with all of our stakeholders in early 2022.”

2021 Net Sales were $6.3 billion, up 28%, or $1.4 billion, from 2020. Net Sales rose on a year-over-year basis as global demand recovered from 2020 pandemic lows.

2021 Net Income of $608 million resulted in EPS of $3.60. Adjusted Net Income rose 105% to $674 million, while Adjusted EPS rose $2.02 to $4.00 for the full year. Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 was $1,313 million, up 49% from 2020. Free cash flow was $543 million, demonstrating the ability of the company to convert earnings to cash consistently across economic cycles.

Fourth quarter 2021 Net Sales were $1.6 billion, 18% higher than the prior-year quarter. Volume and price were positive contributors to the improved results on a year-over-year basis.

Fourth quarter Net Income was $233 million, resulting in EPS of $1.40. Adjusted Net Income was $135 million. Adjusted EPS was $0.81, up $0.20 vs. the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2021 was $307 million in comparison to $246 million in the prior-year fourth quarter, a result of higher pricing offset partially by lower volumes and cost headwinds related to raw material cost inflation and logistics. Currency was a slight headwind in the quarter.

Titanium Technologies (TT)

Creating a winning customer value proposition behind our world-class Ti-Pure™ operations

Titanium Technologies segment Net Sales for the full year were $3.4 billion, up $1.0 billion, or 40%, from the full year 2020 as demand recovered across all end markets and geographies from pandemic levels. Volume rose 28% while price rose 10%. Volume and price were positive across all three of our main sales channels and geographies. Currency was a modest 2% tailwind for the year. Segment Adjusted EBITDA rose $299 million to $809 million, as higher Net Sales more than offset cost headwinds. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margins rose 300bps to 24% for the full year.

Titanium Technologies segment Net Sales in the fourth quarter were $865 million, up 25% in comparison to $691 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume rose 6% vs. the prior-year quarter in spite of ore and logistics constraints. Price rose 19% on a year-over-year basis, and 5% on a sequential basis, reflecting strength across all three of our Ti-Pure™ selling channels. Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 33% to $198 million from the prior-year period, resulting in segment Adjusted EBITDA margins of 23%. We exited 2021 having fully regained the share lost on installation of our TVS strategy.

Chemours’ TVS strategy continues to provide customers with a market leading combination of product quality and supply certainty - enabled by our world-class pigment technology.

Thermal & Specialized Solutions (TSS)

Driving innovation in low GWP solutions to support customers’ transition to more sustainable products

Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment Net Sales for the full year 2021 were $1.3 billion, up $152 million, or 14%, from 2020 driven by improved demand across most refrigerant markets and geographies, partially offset by auto OEM demand headwinds related to semiconductor shortages. Volume rose 9% while price contributed 4%. Currency was a slight 1% tailwind. Segment Adjusted EBITDA improved $58 million to $412 million with full year margins of 33% improving from 2020 levels as stronger stationary pricing more than offset contractual price downs and raw material inflation, as well as costs related to Winter Storm Uri at the start of the year.

Segment Net Sales in the fourth quarter were $295 million, an 8% increase vs. the prior-year quarter. Volume was down 11% in the quarter, as the impact of reduced auto OEM demand related to semiconductor shortages offset stronger demand in other markets. Price contributed 19% to the improved top line results on a year-over-year basis and rose 4% on a sequential basis reflecting market momentum exiting the year. Fourth quarter segment Adjusted EBITDA of $97 million resulted in strong fourth quarter margins of 33%.

Customer demand and market adoption of low GWP Opteon™ refrigerants remains strong – with several new strategic partnerships and the launch of Opteon™ 1150 in 2021. TSS remains well positioned to help customers transition from HFC refrigerants.

Advanced Performance Materials (APM)

Creating a clean energy and advanced electronics powerhouse

Advanced Performance Materials delivered record top and bottom line performance in 2021. Full year 2021 Net Sales of $1.4 billion increased by $293 million, or 27%, from 2020. Strong demand contributed to a 20% improvement in volumes vs. 2020, while price rose 4%. Currency was a tailwind of 3% for the full year. Sales performance was strong across all end markets and geographies. Full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of $261 million was up 107% on a year-over-year basis, resulting in full year Adjusted EBITDA margins of 19%, reflecting the high operating leverage of the segment.

Advanced Performance Materials segment Net Sales in the fourth quarter were $346 million vs. $279 million in the prior-year quarter, an increase of 24%. Strong year-over-year sales growth in the quarter was driven by demand across the entire breadth of the portfolio as demand continues to exceed our ability to supply. Volume and price contributed 15% and 10%, respectively, to the strong results, with currency turning to a minor headwind after being a slight tailwind for most of the year. Sequential volume declined in line with seasonal expectations by 6%, while price rose 4% reflecting the continued pace of demand. Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million was up 160% vs. the prior-year quarter and Adjusted EBITDA margins of 19% were in-line with our segment margin goal for the full year.

APM technologies are fundamental to the future of clean energy and advanced electronics – and we continue to invest behind these key growth themes.

Chemical Solutions

Focused on a world-class Glycolic Acid franchise

As previously announced, we completed the sale of our Mining Solutions business to Draslovka in December of 2021.

Full year 2021 Net Sales of $336 million declined 6% from $358 million in 2020, as the impact of improved price and volume was more than offset by the impact of portfolio changes. Full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA was $51 million, down from $73 million in 2020.

Chemical Solutions segment Net Sales in the fourth quarter of $69 million declined 27% from $95 million in the prior-year quarter as the benefit of higher price and volume was more than offset by the impact of portfolio changes. Segment Adjusted EBITDA was $8 million, down from $28 million in the prior-year fourth quarter.

The mid-fourth quarter closing of the Mining Solutions transaction impacted our full year and fourth quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA, which we estimate to be approximately $10 million, both on a consolidated and a Chemical Solutions segment basis.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other was an offset to Adjusted EBITDA of $220 million for the full year 2021 in comparison to a $184 million offset in the prior year driven primarily by increased legacy environmental remediation and higher performance-based compensation.

Corporate and Other was an offset to fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $61 million, level with $61 million in the prior-year fourth quarter.

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2021, consolidated gross debt was $3.8 billion. Debt, net of $1.5 billion cash, was $2.3 billion, resulting in a net leverage ratio of approximately 1.8x times on a trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA basis. Total liquidity was $2.3 billion, comprised of $1.5 billion cash, and $0.8 billion of revolving credit facility capacity, net of outstanding letters of credit.

Cash provided by operating activities was $820 million in 2021, up $13 million from the prior year. Capital expenditures were $277 million, lower than originally projected due to project delays driven by logistics and material/labor availability in 2021.

Free Cash Flow for the year 2021 was $543 million vs. $540 million in 2020. Over the course of 2021, we repaid $204 million of debt principal, funded our $100 million escrow payment per the MOU with DuPont and Corteva, and repurchased $173 million of stock.

Cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $214 million vs. $353 million in the prior-year quarter. Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter 2021 were $83 million vs. $53 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Free Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $131 million vs. $300 million in the prior-year quarter. During the quarter, we repaid $70 million of debt principal and repurchased $93 million of common stock.

Outlook

The company expects to deliver 2022 Adjusted EBITDA within a range of $1.3 billion to $1.425 billion. Adjusted EPS is projected to be between $4.07 and $4.70. The company expects Free Cash Flow of greater than $500 million, inclusive of approximately $400 million of capital expenditures.

Mr. Newman concluded, “The work our teams have done, and the results we have delivered in 2021, built the momentum for stronger results in 2022. Our outlook reflects our belief in a continued economic recovery from the challenges caused by the global pandemic, and a normalization of supply chains early in 2022. We remain committed to driving top-line growth, improving the underlying earnings quality of the business, capturing the significant secular growth potential of our core businesses, and working closely with our customers to solve the world’s most challenging problems.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Within this press release, we may make reference to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Return on Invested Capital and Net Leverage Ratio which are non-GAAP financial measures. The company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in that they provide for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Return on Invested Capital and Net Leverage Ratio to evaluate the company's performance excluding the impact of certain noncash charges and other special items which we expect to be infrequent in occurrence in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter.

Accordingly, the company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, is a useful financial analysis tool that can assist investors in assessing the company's operating performance and underlying prospects. This analysis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. This analysis, as well as the other information in this press release, should be read in conjunction with the company's financial statements and footnotes contained in the documents that the company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company in this press release may be different from the methods used by other companies. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the attached schedules or the table, "Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and materials posted to the company's website at investors.chemours.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to a historical or current fact. The words "believe," "expect," "will," "anticipate," "plan," "estimate," "target," "project" and similar expressions, among others, generally identify "forward-looking statements," which speak only as of the date such statements were made. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, the outcome or resolution of any pending or future environmental liabilities, the commencement, outcome or resolution of any regulatory inquiry, investigation or proceeding, the initiation, outcome or settlement of any litigation, changes in environmental regulations in the U.S. or other jurisdictions that affect demand for or adoption of our products, anticipated future operating and financial performance for our segments individually and our company as a whole, business plans, prospects, targets, goals and commitments, capital investments and projects and target capital expenditures, plans for dividends or share repurchases, sufficiency or longevity of intellectual property protection, cost reductions or savings targets, plans to increase profitability and growth, our ability to make acquisitions, integrate acquired businesses or assets into our operations, and achieve anticipated synergies or cost savings, all of which are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events that may not be accurate or realized. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond Chemours' control. In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the national and global economy and commodity and financial markets, which has had and we expect will continue to have a negative impact on our financial results. The full extent and impact of the pandemic is still being determined and to date has included significant volatility in financial and commodity markets and a severe disruption in economic activity. The public and private sector response has led to travel restrictions, temporary business closures, quarantines, stock market volatility, and interruptions in consumer and commercial activity globally. Matters outside our control have affected our business and operations and may or may continue to hinder our ability to provide goods and services to customers, cause disruptions in our supply chains, adversely affect our business partners, significantly reduce the demand for our products, adversely affect the health and welfare of our personnel or cause other unpredictable events. Additionally, there may be other risks and uncertainties that Chemours is unable to identify at this time or that Chemours does not currently expect to have a material impact on its business. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Chemours assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law.

  4. Natural disasters and catastrophic events pertains to the total cost of plant repairs and utility charges in excess of historical averages caused by Winter Storm Uri.
  5. Qualified spend recovery represents costs and expenses that were previously excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, reimbursable by DuPont and/or Corteva as part of our cost-sharing agreement under the terms of the MOU which is discussed in further detail in "Note 22 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
  6. Legal charges pertains to litigation settlements, PFOA drinking water treatment accruals, and other legal charges. The year ended December 31, 2020 includes $29 of charges in connection with our portion of the costs to settle PFOA multi-district litigation in Ohio.

Includes the removal of certain discrete income tax impacts within our provision for income taxes, such as shortfalls and windfalls on our share-based payments, certain return-to-accrual adjustments, valuation allowance adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange rate changes, and other discrete income tax items.
  9. The income tax impacts included in this caption are determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which income or expense occurred and represents both current and deferred income tax expense or benefit based on the nature of the non-GAAP financial measure.
  10. Adjusted effective tax rate is defined as all remaining provision for income taxes divided by pre-tax Adjusted Net Income.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

GAAP Earnings per Share to Adjusted Earnings per Share Reconciliation

Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted Adjusted EPS accounts for the dilutive impact of stock-based compensation awards, which includes unvested restricted shares. Diluted Adjusted EPS considers the impact of potentially-dilutive securities, except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potentially-dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.

  1. The Company’s estimates for the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – basic reflect the Company’s shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021, which is carried forward for the projection period.
  2. The Company’s estimates for the dilutive effect of the Company’s employee compensation plans reflect the dilutive effect for the three months ended December 31, 2021, which is carried forward for the projection period.
  3. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using net income available to common shareholders divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding during each period, which includes unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

(*) The Company’s estimates reflect its current visibility and expectations based on market factors, such as currency movements, macro-economic factors, and end-market demand. Actual results could differ materially from these current estimates.
