Valhi, Inc. reported a sharp improvement in profitability for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with net income attributable to stockholders of $22.3 million, or $0.78 per share, compared to $0.9 million, or $0.03 per share, a year earlier. For the first six months of 2026, net income attributable to stockholders was $24.3 million, or $0.85 per share, up from $17.8 million, or $0.62 per share, in the first half of 2025.
Total net sales rose to $606.1 million in the second quarter and $1,166.2 million in the first six months of 2026, driven mainly by the Chemicals Segment, where net sales reached $558.1 million and operating income increased to $40.4 million. Component Products also delivered higher sales and operating income, while the Real Estate Management and Development Segment recognized $16.7 million of tax increment infrastructure reimbursements and a $5.8 million gain on the sale of an office building. Separately, Valhi’s board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, payable September 24, 2026 to stockholders of record on September 3, 2026.
Valhi, Inc. disclosed that director Mary A. Tidlund has decided to resign from its board of directors. She notified the company on June 17, 2026, and her resignation will be effective June 30, 2026.
The company states that her resignation did not result from any disagreement with Valhi. The report is signed on behalf of Valhi by Vice President, Secretary and Associate General Counsel Jane R. Grimm.
Valhi, Inc. announced that its board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share on common stock, payable on June 25, 2026, to stockholders of record as of June 4, 2026. This continues the company’s practice of returning cash to shareholders.
The company also reported results of its 2026 annual meeting. Stockholders representing 95.2% of the 28,302,293 shares eligible to vote participated, and all director nominees standing for election received at least 93.6% support. A nonbinding advisory resolution approving named executive officer compensation received 93.9% approval.
Following the meeting and a board vacancy caused by the death of director W. Hayden McIlroy, the board appointed Randy L. Hill, a longtime audit partner and current Opportune LLP partner, to the board and its audit committee, adding substantial financial and audit experience.
Valhi, Inc. reported net income attributable to stockholders of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter of 2026, down from $16.9 million, or $0.59 per share, a year earlier. Total net sales rose modestly to $560.1 million from $538.6 million, but total operating income declined to $32.9 million from $50.1 million.
The Chemicals Segment’s net sales increased to $509.8 million, helped by higher TiO2 volumes and favorable currency, yet operating income dropped sharply to $14.5 million from $41.2 million due to lower average TiO2 prices, lower production volumes, and adverse currency effects. Component Products delivered higher operating income of $7.1 million versus $5.9 million, and Real Estate Management and Development operating income jumped to $11.3 million from $3.0 million, supported by a $7.3 million commercial land sale and $5.4 million tax increment infrastructure reimbursement.
Results also reflect higher interest expense of $14.7 million and an income tax expense of $2.0 million related to an uncertain German tax position at the Chemicals Segment.
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. 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.
