The Valhi, Inc. (NYSE: VHI) SEC filings page on Stock Titan provides access to the company’s regulatory disclosures as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These documents explain how Valhi reports its activities in chemicals, component products, and real estate management and development, and they offer detail beyond what appears in headline financial results.
Through Forms 8-K, Valhi furnishes press releases on quarterly and annual results, dividend declarations, and other material events. For example, the company files 8-Ks to report earnings for each quarter, to attach press releases such as “Valhi Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results” and “Valhi Declares Quarterly Dividend,” and to disclose matters like entry into material definitive agreements or changes in direct financial obligations involving affiliates such as Kronos Worldwide, Inc. The filings also cover governance items, including changes in officers and references to intercorporate services agreements with Contran Corporation.
Investors can also use this page to locate periodic reports such as Forms 10-K and 10-Q (when available), which typically provide segment information for the Chemicals, Component Products, and Real Estate Management and Development segments, along with discussions of risk factors. These risks include TiO2 industry cyclicality, raw material and energy costs, environmental and regulatory matters, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and litigation exposures, as described in Valhi’s forward-looking statements.

Valhi, Inc. is asking stockholders at its May 21, 2026 annual meeting to elect seven directors and approve a nonbinding advisory vote on named executive officer pay. Because Dixie Rice directly holds about 25,862,190 shares, or 91.4% of Valhi’s common stock, these proposals are effectively assured of approval.
The proxy details a controlled‑company governance structure under NYSE rules, with a majority‑independent board but no separate nominating committee. Executive officers, including CEO Michael S. Simmons, are employed by Contran and allocated to Valhi and its affiliates under intercorporate services agreements; Valhi and its subsidiaries paid Contran $42.7 million in 2025 ISA fees, including $7.8 million attributable to Valhi. Simmons’ 2025 compensation allocated across Valhi, Kronos Worldwide, NL and CompX totaled $3,718,000, while the median employee earned $77,066, a ratio of 48 to 1.
The proxy also describes director retainers and stock grants, related‑party policies, a combined insurance risk management program using captive insurer Tall Pines, and a tax sharing agreement under which Valhi paid Contran about $18.5 million for 2025 income taxes.
Valhi, Inc. reported a sharp swing to a loss for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, driven mainly by weak results in its Chemicals segment. Net loss attributable to Valhi stockholders was $53.2 million, or $(1.86) per share, in Q4 2025 versus net income of $22.8 million, or $0.80 per share, a year earlier. For full-year 2025, Valhi recorded a net loss of $57.6 million, or $(2.02) per share, compared with net income of $108.0 million, or $3.79 per share, in 2024.
Chemicals segment operating performance deteriorated, with a 2025 operating loss of $24.5 million versus operating income of $138.5 million in 2024, hurt by lower TiO₂ prices and about $111 million of unabsorbed fixed production costs from reduced plant operating rates. Q4 2025 results also included non-cash deferred tax expenses related to German tax items and a U.S. pension plan settlement loss, while prior-year results benefited from a sizeable environmental remediation settlement gain and a non-cash gain on remeasurement of the Louisiana Pigment Company interest. Component Products and Real Estate segments grew operating income year over year, but not enough to offset Chemicals and higher interest and pension-related costs.
Valhi, Inc. is a holding company whose value comes mainly from three segments: chemicals, engineered components and Nevada real estate. Through majority-owned Kronos Worldwide, it is a leading global producer of titanium dioxide pigment, which generated about 90% of the Chemicals segment’s 2025 net sales. Kronos produced 480,000 metric tons of TiO₂ in 2025 and acquired the remaining 50% of its Louisiana joint venture for $185 million, making the plant fully owned.
Majority-owned CompX manufactures security products and marine components, with its largest customer, the U.S. Postal Service, accounting for 26% of the Component Products segment’s 2025 net sales. The real estate segment, via BMI and LandWell, has sold all residential land in a 2,100‑acre Henderson, Nevada planned community and expects to complete about $54 million of remaining development obligations by the end of 2027.
Valhi is tightly controlled, with a Contran subsidiary owning about 91% of its common stock as of December 31, 2025. Consolidated debt totaled roughly $592 million at year‑end 2025, and the company and its subsidiaries are committed to about $213 million of payments in 2026. Key risks include cyclical and competitive TiO₂ markets, raw‑material and energy cost volatility, customer concentration in components, large fixed feedstock purchase commitments, legal and environmental exposures at NL, currency fluctuations and the constraints of significant leverage.
Valhi, Inc. disclosed that its board of directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on its common stock. The dividend will be paid on March 31, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2026.
The company furnished, but did not file, a press release describing this dividend under Regulation FD, meaning it is not subject to certain Exchange Act liabilities. Valhi operates in chemicals (TiO2), component products, and real estate management and development.
Valhi, Inc. filed an insider ownership report for its Vice President and Controller, who is considered an officer of the company. As of the event date of 12/31/2025, the filing states that no securities of Valhi are beneficially owned by this reporting person. The form is filed for a single reporting individual and confirms that there are no non-derivative or derivative securities reported as owned.
Valhi, Inc. reports that vice president and controller Patty S. Brinda has notified the company she will retire as an officer and as an employee of Contran Corporation effective December 31, 2025.
Following her notice, the board elected Edward R. Moore to become vice president and controller and to serve as principal accounting officer, effective January 1, 2026. Moore, age 37, currently serves as director of reporting and control for Valhi, Contran and related companies, and previously worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP from 2011 to 2024. He is employed by Contran and provides services to Valhi under an intercorporate services agreement described in the company’s 2025 proxy statement, which also discusses potential conflicts for officers serving more than one corporation.
Valhi, Inc. filed a Form 8-K announcing two items: it furnished a press release titled “Valhi Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results” and a separate press release titled “Valhi Declares Quarterly Dividend,” both issued on November 6, 2025. The company attached these releases as exhibits and stated they are furnished, not filed, under the Exchange Act.
Valhi, Inc. reported a swing to a quarterly loss as markets softened and costs rose. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, total revenues and other income were $524.1 million (down from $558.8 million), and the company posted a net loss of $21.9 million versus net income of $85.6 million a year ago. Net sales were $503.5 million, with Chemicals lower and Component Products higher.
Year-to-date, revenues were $1.635 billion and net income was $8.4 million. Operating cash flow was $(136.1) million, driven by working capital outflows and $56.5 million of environmental payments. Cash and restricted cash ended at $223.9 million, and total debt increased to $662.3 million, largely from Kronos’ additional €75 million 9.50% notes due 2029 and Global Revolver usage.
Segment trends were mixed: Chemicals recorded an operating loss in the quarter, while Component Products improved and Real Estate delivered solid income supported by $34.5 million in infrastructure reimbursement year-to-date. The environmental accrual decreased to $18.1 million after payments. The quarterly dividend remained $0.08 per share, and shares outstanding were 28,302,293 as of November 3, 2025.
