Second quarter 2026 Net Sales were approximately $1.6 billion, a decrease of approximately 1% compared to the prior-year quarter. The year-over-year decrease in Net Sales was driven by a 4% decrease in volumes, partially offset by a 2% increase in price and a 1% currency tailwind. The volume decline was primarily driven by lower TSS Opteon™ blends aftermarket refrigerant sales, compared with elevated demand in Q2 2025 driven by the initial aftermarket channel fill associated with stationary technology AC transition under the U.S. AIM Act, as well as lower volumes associated with the APM SPS Capstone™ line closure completed in the third quarter of 2025. These volume headwinds were partially offset by pricing strength across all three segments, including price increases in TT.

Second quarter 2026 Net Loss attributable to Chemours was ($274) million, or ($1.81) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss attributable to Chemours of ($380) million, or ($2.53) per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The prior-year second quarter loss includes the impact of the announced settlement with the State of New Jersey and related legal and environmental reserves recognized and corresponding tax impacts, while the current-year second quarter loss includes the impact of legal and environmental reserves related to the announced settlement with the EPA and WVDEP as well as ongoing litigation, and corresponding tax impacts, partially offset by a gain on the Kuan Yin property sales. Second quarter Adjusted Net Income decreased compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to additional income tax impacts related to the Kuan Yin property sales completed during the second quarter of 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2026 was $247 million, compared to $260 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by the anticipated higher APM costs associated with the recently resolved outage at the Washington Works site, as well as lower sales from APM's SPS Capstone™ line closure completed in the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by pricing increases across all segments.

Thermal & Specialized Solutions

	Q2 2026	Q2 2025	Y-o-Y % ∆	Q1 2026	Q-o-Q % ∆
Net Sales (millions)	$591	$597	(1) %	$568	4 %

TSS segment second quarter 2026 Net Sales were $591 million, a decrease of 1% versus the prior-year quarter, driven by a 4% decrease in volumes, partially offset by a 2% increase in price and a slight currency tailwind.

The decrease in volumes was primarily attributable to lower stationary AC aftermarket refrigerant sales of TSS Opteon™ blends in North America, compared with elevated demand in Q2 2025 driven by the initial aftermarket channel fill associated with the stationary technology AC transition under the U.S. AIM Act, partially offset by higher Freon™ prices, primarily in automotive applications.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 3% to $213 million, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased one point to 36%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher pricing, aided by the timing of certain costs in the quarter.

Sequentially, TSS Net Sales increased 4%, driven by a 5% seasonal volume increase, partially offset by mix-related pricing and currency headwinds.

Titanium Technologies

	Q2 2026	Q2 2025	Y-o-Y % ∆	Q1 2026	Q-o-Q % ∆
Net Sales (millions)	$661	$657	1 %	$559	18 %

Adjusted EBITDA (millions)	$48	$47	2 %	$18	167 %
Adjusted EBITDA Margin	7 %	7 %	0 ppts	3 %	4 ppts

TT segment second quarter 2026 Net Sales were $661 million, a 1% increase compared to the prior-year quarter. The increase was driven by a 2% increase in global pricing and a 1% currency tailwind, more than offsetting a 2% decline in global volumes. Pricing increased across all regions, while the volume decline was driven by lower TiO₂ sales across key end markets, with the exception of Asia, excluding China, and Latin America.

TT segment second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA increased to $48 million from $47 million in the prior-year quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin was flat. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the global pricing strength noted above, partially offset by higher costs due to inflation.

Sequentially, TT segment second quarter 2026 Net Sales increased 18%, driven by a 15% increase in global volumes and a 3% increase in price, reflecting continued execution of recent TiO₂ pricing actions. Sequential price and volume increases were reflected across all regions.

Advanced Performance Materials

	Q2 2026	Q2 2025	Y-o-Y % ∆	Q1 2026	Q-o-Q % ∆
Net Sales (millions)	$326	$346	(6 %)	$243	34 %

Adjusted EBITDA Margin	8 %	14 %	(6) ppt	2 %	6 ppts

APM segment second quarter 2026 Net Sales were $326 million, a 6% decrease compared to the prior-year quarter. The decrease was driven by a 9% decrease in volumes, partially offset by a 2% increase in price and a slight currency tailwind. The volume decline was primarily driven by the APM SPS Capstone™ line closure completed in the third quarter of 2025. Performance Solutions Net Sales increased 8% year-over-year, supported by order book strength and continued momentum in high-value specialty products serving data center and semiconductor end markets.

APM segment second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA decreased 48% to $26 million compared to the prior-year quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased six percentage points to 8%. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower sales associated with the SPS Capstone™ line closure, as well as higher costs from the now-resolved outage at the Washington Works site.

Sequentially, APM segment second quarter 2026 Net Sales increased approximately 34%, driven by a 31% increase in volumes reflecting more normalized operations at the Washington Works site and a 4% pricing uplift, partially offset by a slight currency headwind. Performance Solutions Net Sales increased 42% sequentially, reflecting continued order book strength and momentum in high-value specialty products serving data center and semiconductor end markets.

Other Non-Reportable Segment

The Performance Chemicals and Intermediates business in the Company's Other Non-Reportable Segment had Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2026 of $13 million and $2 million, respectively.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate Expenses were $42 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of approximately $4 million compared to the prior-year quarter. This was primarily due to lower costs associated with legacy litigation activities.

Liquidity and Capital Allocation

As of June 30, 2026, consolidated gross debt was $3.9 billion. Debt, net of $671 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, was $3.2 billion, resulting in a net leverage ratio of approximately 4.4x on a trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA basis. Total liquidity was $1.6 billion, comprised of $671 million in unrestricted⁵ cash and cash equivalents and $953 million of revolving credit facility capacity, net of outstanding letters of credit.

During the quarter, the Company paid down €230 million of the outstanding tranche of the B-3 Euro-denominated Term Loan due August 2028, using a mixture of proceeds from the previously announced Kuan Yin land sale and organic cash. The Company anticipates further debt repayments in 2026.

Operating cash flows for the second quarter of 2026 were $158 million, compared to $93 million in the prior-year quarter, highlighting improvements in net working capital performance.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2026 amounted to $44 million, an increase compared to $43 million in the prior-year quarter.

Free Cash Flows for the second quarter of 2026 were $114 million, compared to $50 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Third Quarter 2026 Outlook

In the third quarter, the Company expects consolidated Net Sales to decrease in the range of 5% to flat, sequentially, driven by weaker Opteon™ blends aftermarket refrigerant demand in TSS, with consolidated Adjusted EBITDA expected to range between $175 million and $205 million. Corporate Expenses are expected to approximate $40 million to $45 million. The Company also anticipates capital expenditures to approximate $65 million, with Free Cash Flows of at least $50 million, reflecting the timing of payments for plant turnaround activities commencing later in the third quarter.

TSS expects Net Sales will sequentially decrease in the mid-teens to 20% range, driven by less favorable seasonality in connection with the 2026 cooling season in the Northern Hemisphere and weaker Opteon™ blends aftermarket refrigerant demand in North America due to elevated market inventory levels from the initial channel fill in mid-2025. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $125 million and $140 million.

TT expects a sequential Net Sales increase in the low-to-mid single-digit percentage range, driven by recent pricing announcements, with stable volumes. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $70 million and $80 million.

APM expects a sequential Net Sales increase in the mid-to-high single digit percentage range, driven by a return to normal operating levels at the Washington Works facility and continued strength in the Performance Solutions order book in high-value specialty products primarily serving data center and semiconductor end markets. Adjusted EBITDA for APM is expected to be between $20 million and $30 million.

Full Year 2026 Outlook

The Company continues to expect 2026 Net Sales to grow in the range of 1% to 5% over 2025, with Adjusted EBITDA between $775 million and $825 million. Moving later into the second half, this outlook is supported by broader pricing momentum in TT with seasonal volume declines offset by anticipated cost improvements, APM's demand strength in high-value end markets supported by operational improvements driving earnings above near-term levels, and TSS aftermarket weakness driving slightly weaker earnings to end the year. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be between $250 million and $280 million, with overall Free Cash Flow Conversion above 25%, due to increased earnings and improvements in working capital throughout the year. The Company continues to anticipate achieving a net leverage ratio of around 3.8x by the end of 2026.

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, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flows, Free Cash Flow Conversion, Total Debt Principal, Net 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, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, which adjust for (i) certain non-cash items, (ii) certain items we believe are not indicative of ongoing operating performance or (iii) certain nonrecurring, unusual or infrequent items to evaluate the Company's performance in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from period to period. Additionally, Free Cash Flows, Free Cash Flow Conversion, Total Debt Principal, Net and Net Leverage Ratio are utilized as liquidity measures to assess the cash generation of our businesses and on-going liquidity position.

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. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of unusual gains and losses, potential future asset impairments and pending litigation without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. 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 (Unaudited)" and materials posted to the Company's website at investors.chemours.com.

GAAP Net Loss Attributable to Chemours to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

GAAP Net Leverage Ratio to Non-GAAP Net Leverage Ratio Reconciliation¹

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, excluding the following items: interest expense, depreciation, and amortization; non-operating pension and other post-retirement employee benefit costs, which represents the components of net periodic pension costs excluding the service cost component; exchange (gains) losses included in other income (expense), net; restructuring, asset-related, and other charges; (gains) losses on sales of businesses or assets; and, other items not considered indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance and expected to occur infrequently, including certain litigation related and environmental charges and Qualified Spend reimbursable by DuPont and/or Corteva as part of the Company's cost-sharing agreement under the terms of the MOU that were previously excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Chemours, adjusted for items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, except interest expense, depreciation, amortization, and certain provision for (benefit from) income tax amounts. Net Leverage Ratio is defined as our total debt principal, net, or our total debt principal outstanding less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

GAAP Earnings per Share to Adjusted Earnings per Share Reconciliation¹

Adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted 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 include 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)	In periods where the Company incurs a net loss, the impact of potentially dilutive securities is excluded from the calculation of EPS under U.S. GAAP, as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. As such, with respect to the U.S. GAAP measure of diluted EPS, the impact of potentially dilutive securities is excluded from our calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the three months ended March 31, 2026. With respect to the non-GAAP measure of adjusted diluted EPS, the impact of potentially dilutive securities is included in our calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and the three months ended March 31, 2026 as Adjusted Net Income was in a net income position.

(2)	Figures may not recalculate exactly due to rounding. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated based on unrounded numbers.
