The Chemours Company reported a net loss of $274 million for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease from a loss of $380 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, the company recorded a net loss of $303 million, compared to a loss of $385 million in the first half of 2025. The company's net sales for the second quarter were $1.591 billion, slightly down from $1.615 billion in the prior year, while total sales for the first half of 2026 were $2.972 billion, compared to $2.983 billion in the same period of 2025. The decline in sales was attributed to a 4% decrease in volume, which was partially offset by a 2% increase in prices and favorable currency movements.
Chemours' cost of goods sold remained stable at $1.305 billion for the second quarter and $2.474 billion for the first half of 2026. However, selling, general, and administrative expenses rose by 11% to $469 million in the second quarter, primarily due to adjustments in environmental reserves. The company also reported a significant increase in other income, which rose to $273 million in the second quarter, largely due to a $266 million gain from the sale of land in Kuan Yin, Taiwan.
In terms of operational developments, Chemours has been actively managing its environmental liabilities, with total environmental remediation liabilities increasing to $795 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $618 million at the end of 2025. This increase includes significant liabilities related to the Fayetteville Works site in North Carolina, which accounted for $311 million of the total. The company is also engaged in ongoing litigation related to PFAS and PFOA, with accrued litigation liabilities totaling $658 million as of the end of the second quarter.
Looking ahead, Chemours anticipates generating positive cash flows from operations in 2026 and believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through at least August 2027. The company has $671 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, with an additional $953 million available under its revolving credit facility. Chemours is focused on resolving its environmental liabilities and legal matters while continuing to invest in growth initiatives aligned with its Pathway to Thrive strategy.
