Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (KRO) reported $1.9B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, down 1.5% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Kronos's earnings are highly cyclical: a near-recovery in FY2024 gave way to FY2025 losses, weaker cash conversion, and higher leverage.
The FY2025 margin reversal occurred despite nearly stable revenue: gross margin fell from19.0% to11.5% , pointing to cost or mix pressure rather than a volume-led downturn. Operating cash flow then fell from$72.5M to$2.5M , showing that the FY2024 accounting recovery did not translate into durable cash generation.
The current ratio was 2.7x in FY2025 versus 4.4x in FY2021, so short-term coverage remained positive but its cushion narrowed materially. Debt-to-equity rose from 0.5x in FY2024 to 0.7x in FY2025, meaning the loss year also brought a more debt-reliant capital structure.
