Kronos Worldwide Inc Financials
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).
Near-flat sales hid a collapse in gross economics, leaving an inventory-heavy balance sheet and more debt to support operations.
Between FY2024 and FY2025, revenue was broadly stable, yet gross margin fell from19.0% to11.5% ; that says the setback came less from volume and more from much weaker profit captured on each sale, which then pushed operating results back into the red. At the same time, interest expense rose to$53.0M as long-term debt increased to$557.4M , so the business entered a thinner-margin year with a heavier fixed financing load.
The current ratio of 2.7x looks comfortable, but only
