✦ Synopsis


Realised selling prices were on average up by 1% in 4Q 2002, compared against 4Q 2001. They were 4% up on the average level of 3Q 2002, indicating that the downward drift in TiO 2 pigment prices has been arrested. Capacity utilisation was 96% in 4Q 2002, based on worldwide nameplate capacity of 690,000 tonnes/y. Millennium believes that TiO 2 pigment sales in 1Q 2003 should be about 142,000 tonnes -the same as the level achieved for the final quarter of 2002. Previously announced price increases are gradually being implemented, resulting in better average profitability.
