FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TOR Minerals International Releases 2Q 2021 Financial Results
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, August 12, 2021 – TOR Minerals International, Inc. (OTC-Pink: TORM), global producer of high performance specialty minerals products, today released its second quarter 2021 financial results.
Comparisons with the prior quarter and second quarter are available in the following table:
“Following a strong first quarter of the year, the second quarter shows a drop in earnings due in large part to the sale of the Corpus Christi assets early in the quarter. A Discontinued Operations write-off of $363k was taken primarily due to three unfinished capital projects that were on the books at the time of the Corpus asset sale,” said Jim Roecker, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Otherwise, we were able to extract significant value from the Corpus PPE sale, and the Disc Ops write-off poses no significant loss in value to TOR. Most importantly, the sale of the Corpus assets will enable us to further invest in the growth of our global specialty businesses and take full advantage of the attractive profitability they provide.”
“Overall the continuing businesses of TOR Minerals International and our subsidiaries, TOR Processing and Trade, BV (TP&T) and TOR Minerals Malaysia (TMM) remain solid”, Roecker added. Demand for our products globally is very strong and our plants are operating at capacity. We anticipate sales to continue to be ahead of plan through the second half of the year.”
