Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue | Revenue Nature of Contracts and Performance Obligations We primarily generate revenue from selling TiO 2 pigment products and related co-products, primarily zircon and pig iron, to our customers. These products are used for the manufacture of paints, coatings, plastics, paper, and a wide range of other applications. We account for a contract with our customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. Our promise in a contract typically relates to the transferring of a product or multiple distinct products that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer, representing a single performance obligation within a contract. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the products has transferred to the customer as contract fulfillment activities, rather than a separate performance obligation. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling activities continue to be reported as “Net sales” and related costs as “Cost of goods sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The duration of our contract period is one year or less. As such, we have elected to recognize incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts, which primarily consist of commissions paid to third-party sales agents, as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Furthermore, we have elected not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations at each period end, given the original expected duration of our contracts are one year or less. Transaction Price Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring products to the customer. The transaction price typically consists of fixed cash consideration. We also offer various incentive programs to our customers, such as rebates, discounts, and other price adjustments that represent variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration and include such consideration amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Sales returns rarely happen in our business; therefore, it is unlikely that a significant reversal of revenue will occur. Sales and similar taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities are excluded from the transaction price for the determination of revenue. The expected costs associated with product warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. Customer payment terms and conditions vary by contract and customer, although the timing of revenue recognition typically does not differ from the timing of invoicing. Additionally, as we generally do not grant extended payment terms, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised products. For most transactions this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or at a later point when control of the products transfers to the customer at a specified destination or time. Contract Balances Contract assets represent our rights to consideration in exchange for products that have transferred to a customer when the right is conditional on situations other than the passage of time. For products that we have transferred to our customers, our rights to the consideration are typically unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payments become due. These unconditional rights are recorded as accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we did not have material contract asset balances. Contract liabilities represent our obligations to transfer products to a customer for which we have received consideration from the customer. When a customer has poor credit worthiness, we may receive advance payment that is accounted for as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is earned when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is typically within a short period of time from when we received the advanced payment. Contract liability balances as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were less than $1 million and $2 million, respectively. Contract liability balances were reported as “Accrued liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All material contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were recognized as revenue in “Net sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the first quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2021, respectively. Disaggregation of Revenue We operate under one operating and reportable segment, Tronox. See Note 23 for details. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by product type and geographic area. We believe this level of disaggregation appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and reflects how our business is managed. Net sales to external customers by geographic areas where our customers are located were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31,
2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
North America | $ | 790 |  |  | $ | 743 |  |  | $ | 716 |
South and Central America | 264 |  |  | 252 |  |  | 181 |
Europe, Middle-East and Africa | 1,335 |  |  | 1,398 |  |  | 1,013 |
Asia Pacific | 1,065 |  |  | 1,179 |  |  | 848 |
Total net sales | $ | 3,454 |  |  | $ | 3,572 |  |  | $ | 2,758 |
The 2020 amounts by geographic area in table above have been corrected for an increase and decrease of $78 million to Asia Pacific and North America, respectively, as well as an increase and decrease of $134 million to Europe, Middle-East and Africa and South and Central America, respectively. Net sales from external customers for each similar type of product were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31,
2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
TiO 2 | $ | 2,693 |  |  | $ | 2,793 |  |  | $ | 2,176 |
Zircon | 438 |  |  | 478 |  |  | 283 |
Other products | 323 |  |  | 301 |  |  | 299 |
Total net sales | $ | 3,454 |  |  | $ | 3,572 |  |  | $ | 2,758 |
Other products mainly include pig iron, TiCl 4 and other mining products. The nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows typically do not differ significantly among different products.
