Geographic Information

Note 2 – Geographic information:

Our operations are associated with the production and sale of titanium dioxide pigments (TiO2). TiO2 is used to impart whiteness, brightness, opacity and durability to a wide variety of products, including paints, plastics, paper, fibers and ceramics. Additionally, TiO2 is a critical component of everyday applications, such as coatings, plastics and paper, as well as many specialty products such as inks, foods and cosmetics. At December 31, 2021 and 2022, the net assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries included in consolidated net assets approximated $338 million and $504 million, respectively.

For geographic information, we attribute net sales to the place of manufacture (point of origin) and to the location of the customer (point of destination); we attribute property and equipment to their physical location.
