The Chemours Company Investor Meetings September 2016 Exhibit 99.1


 
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which often may be identified by their use of words like “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” targets,” “anticipates” or other words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements address, among other things, our anticipated future operating and financial performance, business plans and prospects, transformation plans, resolution of environmental liabilities, litigation and other contingencies, plans to increase profitability, our ability to pay or the amount of any dividend, and target leverage that are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events which may not be realized. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements, as further described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Chemours undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements. This presentation contains certain supplemental measures of performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These Non-GAAP measures include Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, which should not be considered as replacements of GAAP. Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash from Operations minus cash used for PP&E purchases. Further information with respect to and reconciliations of such measures to the nearest GAAP measure can be found in the appendix hereto. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow to evaluate the Company’s performance excluding the impact of certain non-cash charges and other special items in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Historical results prior to July 1, 2015 are presented on a stand-alone basis from DuPont historical results and are subject to certain adjustments and assumptions as indicated in this presentation, and may not be an indicator of future performance. Additional information for investors is available on the company’s website at investors.chemours.com. Safe Harbor Statement 1
