VALHI REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

​

DALLAS, TEXAS . . May 7, 2026. Valhi, Inc. (NYSE: VHI) reported net income attributable to Valhi stockholders of $2.0 million, or $.07 per share, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $16.9 million, or $.59 per share, in the first quarter of 2025. Net income attributable to Valhi stockholders decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower operating results from the Chemicals Segment, partially offset by higher operating income from the Component Products and the Real Estate Management and Development Segments.

The Chemicals Segment’s net sales of $509.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 were $20.0 million, or 4%, higher than in the first quarter of 2025. The Chemicals Segment’s net sales increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the effects of higher sales volumes in its North American, Latin American and export markets and the favorable impact of changes in currency exchange rates (primarily the euro), which we estimate increased net sales by approximately $30 million. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes in the European market and lower average TiO2 selling prices. Our Chemicals Segment started 2026 with average TiO2 selling prices lower than at the beginning of 2025; however, its average TiO2 selling prices increased 2% during the first quarter of 2026 as our Chemicals Segment works to recover pricing lost during 2025. The table at the end of this press release shows how each of these items impacted the Chemicals Segment’s net sales.

The Chemicals Segment’s operating income in the first quarter of 2026 was $14.5 million compared to operating income of $41.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Chemicals Segment’s operating income decreased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the effects of lower average TiO2 selling prices, lower production volumes, and the unfavorable impact of changes in currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower productions costs. Lower production costs benefited in part from cost reduction initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2025, including workforce reductions and other measures, which were designed to permanently improve our Chemicals Segment’s cost structure and enable more efficient operation of its facilities at lower production rates for extended periods. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates (primarily the euro) decreased our Chemicals Segment’s operating income by approximately $6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

The Component Products Segment’s net sales were $40.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $40.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Component Products Segment’s first quarter net sales increased over the comparable 2025 period due to higher marine components sales to the industrial market partially offset by lower security products sales. Operating income attributable to the Component Products Segment was $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Component Products Segment’s operating income increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to a higher gross margin at the security products reporting unit as a result of a more favorable customer and product mix, and, to a lesser extent, the impact of higher sales at the marine components reporting unit.

The Real Estate Management and Development Segment had net sales of $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Land sales revenue is generally recognized over time based on cost inputs, and land sales revenues are dependent on spending for development activities. Net sales increased $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to the sale of the final commercial parcel for $7.3 million, which had no further development obligations and was therefore recognized immediately as revenue. This increase was partially offset by effects of a slower pace of development activity for previously sold parcels within the residential/planned community as the development work nears completion. The pace of development activities is dictated

by a number of factors such as city permit and design approval, approvals from the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, labor and materials availability, and the amount of remaining development obligations. The Real Estate Management and Development Segment also recognized tax increment infrastructure reimbursement of $5.4 million ($2.8 million, or $.10 per share, net of income tax and noncontrolling interest) in the first quarter of 2026 which is includ
