Background and Description of the Business	3 Months Ended
Background and Description of the Business	Mar. 31, 2016
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background and Description of the Business	Background and Description of the Business The Chemours Company (Chemours or the Company) delivers customized solutions with a wide range of industrial and specialty chemical products for markets including plastics and coatings, refrigeration and air conditioning, general industrial, mining and oil refining. Principal products include titanium dioxide (TiO₂), refrigerants, industrial fluoropolymer resins, sodium cyanide and sulfuric acid. Chemours consists of three reportable segments: Titanium Technologies, Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions. Chemours is globally operated with manufacturing facilities, sales centers, administrative offices and warehouses located throughout the world. Chemours' operations are primarily located in the United States (U.S.), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Taiwan, Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, the United Kingdom and France. As of March 31, 2016, Chemours consists of 34 production facilities globally, five dedicated to Titanium Technologies, 16 dedicated to Fluoroproducts, 12 dedicated to Chemical Solutions and one that supports the Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions segments. Effective prior to the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on July 1, 2015 (the Distribution Date), E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) completed the previously announced separation of the businesses comprising DuPont’s Performance Chemicals reporting segment, and certain other assets and liabilities, into Chemours, a separate and distinct public company. The separation was completed by way of a distribution of all of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Chemours through a dividend in kind of Chemours’ common stock (par value $0.01) to holders of DuPont common stock (par value $0.30) as of the close of business on June 23, 2015 (the Record Date) (the transaction referred to herein as the Distribution). On the Distribution Date, each holder of DuPont's common stock received one share of Chemours' common stock for every five shares of DuPont's common stock held on the Record Date. The separation was completed pursuant to a Separation Agreement and other agreements with DuPont related to the separation, including an Employee Matters Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement and an Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement. These agreements govern the relationship between Chemours and DuPont following the separation and provided for the allocation of various assets, liabilities, rights and obligations. These agreements also include arrangements for transition services to be provided by DuPont to Chemours. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to "we," "us," "our," "Chemours" and the "Company" refer to The Chemours Company and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Distribution.

Basis of Presentation	Mar. 31, 2016
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Unless otherwise stated, references to years and three month periods relate to Chemours' fiscal years and three month periods. Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current period presentation. Chemours did not operate as a separate, stand-alone entity for the full period covered by the 2015 interim consolidated financial statements. Prior to our separation on July 1, 2015, Chemours operations were included in DuPont's financial results in different legal forms, including but not limited to wholly-owned subsidiaries for which Chemours was the sole business, components of legal entities in which Chemours operated in conjunction with other DuPont businesses and a majority owned joint venture. For periods prior to July 1, 2015, the interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from DuPont’s historical accounting records and are presented on a stand-alone basis as if the business operations had been conducted independently from DuPont. DuPont and its subsidiaries’ net investments in these operations is shown in lieu of Stockholder’s Equity in the interim consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements include the historical operations, assets and liabilities of the legal entities that were considered to comprise the Chemours business, including certain environmental remediation and litigation obligations for which Chemours has indemnified DuPont. All of the allocations and estimates in the interim consolidated financial statements prior to July 1, 2015 were based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included herein may not be indicative of the results of operations and cash flows of Chemours in the future or if Chemours had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The net transfers from DuPont in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 include a non-cash contribution from DuPont of $82. This non-cash contribution occurred during physical separation activities at shared production facilities in the United States prior to the separation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	3 Months Ended
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Mar. 31, 2016
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." The update sets forth areas for simplification within several aspects of the accounting for shared-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal period, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. Chemours is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance and does not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net)." The amendment clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and affects the guidance in ASU 2014-09. This amendment is effective on the same effective date of ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The guidance is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (original effective date). In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this guidance to provide entities with adequate time to effectively implement the new revenue standard while adoption as of the original effective date is also permitted. Chemours is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these guidance will have on its financial positions and results of operations. Also, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)." The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Further, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments," which clarifies Topic 815 requirements for assessing whether contingent call and/or put options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this update is required to assess the embedded call and/or put options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and the entity should apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis to existing debt instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and, therefore, recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. A qualitative disclosure along with specific quantitative disclosures is required to provide enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this update is permitted for all entities. Chemours is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance will have to its financial position, results of operations and debt covenants. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosures for Investment in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share or its Equivalent." This guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented and earlier application is permitted. Chemours adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016. The adoption did not have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement," which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. The customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Chemours adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” The amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities and eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The amendment is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Chemours adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not change our consolidated entities, and therefore had no effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," which requires an entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition in accordance with existing guidance in Topic 718. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Chemours adopted this guidance, effective January 1, 2016, prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date. The adoption did not have a significant effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Relationship with DuPont and Related Entities	3 Months Ended
Relationship with DuPont and Related Entities	Mar. 31, 2016
Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Relationship with DuPont and Related Entities	Relationship with DuPont and Related Entities Prior to the separation, including the three months ended March 31, 2015, Chemours sold finished goods to DuPont and its non-Chemours businesses. Related party sales to DuPont for the three months period ended March 31, 2015 were $1, $18 and $10 recorded by Titanium Technologies, Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions, respectively. Subsequent to the separation, beginning on July 1, 2015, transactions with DuPont businesses were not considered related party transactions. Also prior to the separation, DuPont incurred significant corporate costs for services provided to Chemours as well as other DuPont businesses. These costs included expenses for information systems, accounting, other financial services such as treasury and audit, purchasing, human resources, legal, facilities, engineering, corporate research and development, corporate stewardship, marketing and business analysis support. A portion of these costs benefited multiple or all DuPont businesses, including Chemours, and were allocated to Chemours and its reportable segments using methods based on proportionate formulas involving total costs or other various allocation methods that management considered consistent and reasonable. Other Chemours corporate costs are not allocated to the reportable segments and are reported in Corporate and Other. The allocated leveraged functional service expenses and general corporate expenses included in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations were $122 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and were recorded within cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense for $13, $105 and $4, respectively. Subsequent to the separation on July 1, 2015, transactions with DuPont businesses were not considered related party transactions. Accordingly, no costs from DuPont were allocated to Chemours for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Cash Management and Financing The separation agreements set forth a process to true-up cash and working capital transferred to us from DuPont at separation. In January 2016, Chemours and DuPont entered into an agreement, contingent upon the credit agreement amendment (described in Note 14), which provided for the extinguishment of payment obligations of cash and working capital true-ups previously contemplated in the separation agreements. As a result, Chemours was not required to make any payments to DuPont, nor did DuPont make any payments to Chemours. In addition, the agreement set forth an advance payment by DuPont of approximately $190, which Chemours received in February 2016, for certain specified goods and services that Chemours expects to provide to DuPont over twelve to fifteen months under existing agreements between the parties. The advance payment was recorded as deferred liability included in other accrued liabilities of the Consolidated Balance Sheet and approximately $166 remain outstanding as of March 31, 2016. Tax Matters Agreement Chemours and DuPont entered into a tax matters agreement that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. In general, under the agreement, DuPont is responsible for any U.S. federal, state and local taxes (and any related interest, penalties or audit adjustments) reportable on a consolidated, combined or unitary return that includes DuPont or any of its subsidiaries and Chemours and/or any of its subsidiaries for any periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the date of the separation and Chemours is responsible for any U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes (and any related interest, penalties or audit adjustments) that are imposed on Chemours and/or any of its subsidiaries for all tax periods, whether before or after the date of the separation.

As a result of the decommissioning and dismantling activities due to the closure of the Edge Moor manufacturing plant in the U.S., for the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded charges of approximately $8 in the Titanium Technology segment. The decommissioning, dismantling and removal activities will continue for the remainder of 2016 through early 2017 and the Company expects to incur additional charges of approximately $40, which will be expensed as incurred.

The Company's Fluoroproducts segment also recorded charges of approximately $4 related to decommissioning, dismantling and removal activities on certain of its production lines in the U.S. The Company also expects to incur additional $5 for dismantling and removal costs in the remainder of 2016 through early 2017, which will be expensed as incurred.

Further, following the announcement of a global workforce reduction in November 2015, the Company incurred an additional $4 of employee separation costs due to continued efforts to streamline and simplify its organizational structure and reduce costs.

The following table shows the change in the employee separation related liability account associated with the restructuring programs:

Dispositions

In November 2015, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its aniline facility in Beaumont, Texas to The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), subject to customary approvals and closing conditions. The transaction closed on March 1, 2016 and Chemours received $140 in cash from Dow. The net book value of the asset disposed was $41, which includes inventories, property, plant and equipment, other assets and allocated goodwill, and the Company incurred approximately $10 of transaction and other related charges. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, Chemours recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $89 in the Chemical Solutions segment.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Chemours recorded a provision for income tax of $19 and $15 or an effective income tax rate of approximately 27% and 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Each year, Chemours and/or its subsidiaries, file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the taxing authorities. Positions challenged by the taxing authorities may be settled or appealed by Chemours and/or DuPont in accordance with the tax matters agreement. As a result, income tax uncertainties are recognized in Chemours’ interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes, when applicable. It is reasonably possible that changes to Chemours' global unrecognized tax benefits could be significant; however, due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of completion of audits and possible outcomes, a current estimate of the range of such changes that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made.

¹For March 31, 2015, pro forma earnings per share was calculated based on 180,966,833 shares of Chemours common stock that were distributed to DuPont shareholders on July 1, 2015.

²Diluted earnings per share is calculated using net income available to common shareholders divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common shares outstanding during each period, which includes unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following average number of stock options were antidilutive and, therefore, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation:

Direct Financing Leases

At two of its facilities in the U.S. (Borderland and Morses Mill), Chemours has constructed fixed assets on land that it leases from third parties. Management has analyzed these arrangements and determined these assets represent a direct financing lease, whereby Chemours is the lessor of this equipment. Chemours has recorded leases receivable of $135 and $138 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively, which represent the balance of the minimum future lease payments receivable. The current portion of leases receivable is included in accounts and notes receivable - trade, net, as shown in Note 9. The long-term portion of leases receivable are included in other assets, as shown above. The Company periodically evaluates the realizable value of these leased assets and determined no impairment existed at March 31, 2016.

Amendment to Senior Secured Credit Facilities

During the first quarter of 2016, Chemours and its Revolving Credit Facility lenders entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement that (a) replaced the total net leverage ratio financial covenant with a senior secured net leverage ratio financial covenant; (b) reduced the minimum levels required by the interest expense coverage ratio covenant; (c) increased the limits and extended the period of adding back the benefits of announced cost reduction initiatives in the determination of Consolidated EBITDA for the purposes of calculating the financial maintenance covenants; and (d) reduced the revolver commitment from $1,000 to $750. As a result of the amendment, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $4 to write off a proportionate amount of unamortized debt issuance costs attributable to the reduction in revolver commitment, which was included in interest expense, net. Fees and expenses of approximately $2 incurred in connection with the amendment were capitalized in other assets of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The credit agreement contains financial covenants which, solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility as amended, require Chemours not to exceed a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 each quarter through December 31, 2016, 3.00 to 1.00 through June 30, 2017 and further decreasing by 0.25 to 1.00 every subsequent six months to 2.00 to 1.00 by January 1, 2019 and thereafter. Chemours is also required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00 each quarter through June 30, 2017 and further increasing by 0.25 to 1.00 every subsequent six months to 3.00 to 1.00 by January 1, 2019 and thereafter. In addition, the credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict Chemours and its subsidiaries' ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur liens, merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or lease assets, make investments, pay dividends, transact with subsidiaries and incur indebtedness. The credit agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default. Chemours was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2016.

Senior Unsecured Notes

Chemours is required to register the senior unsecured notes (the Notes) with the SEC within 465 days after the original issue date under a registration rights arrangement. If Chemours fails to do so, it would be required to pay additional interest at a rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days following a registration default and additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum rate of 0.50%, until the registration requirements are met. During April 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the registration rights arrangement. The Notes exchange offer commenced following the effectiveness of the registration statement and is expected to be completed in May 2016. While considered remote, the maximum potential consideration to be transferred should the Company fail to meet the registration rights requirement would be approximately $90 through the Notes maturity dates. Also, in May 2016, the Company's Euro Notes were admitted to listing on the Official List and trading on the Global Exchange Market of the Irish Stock Exchange.

Maturities

There are no debt maturities prior to year 2022, except, in accordance with the credit agreement, Chemours has required quarterly principal payments related to the Term Loan Facility equivalent to 1.00% per annum beginning September 2015 through March 2022, with the balance due at maturity. Term Loan principal maturities over the next five years are $11 for the remainder of 2016 and $15 in each year from 2017 to 2021. Debt maturities related to the Term Loan Facility and the Notes in 2022 and beyond will be $3,906.

In addition, following the end of each fiscal year commencing on the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company is also required to make additional principal repayment to the term loan facility equivalent to 50% of excess cash flow based on certain leverage targets (as defined in the credit agreement) with stepdowns to 25% and 0% as actual leverage decreases.

Debt Fair Value

The fair values of the Term Loan Facility, the 2023 notes, the 2025 notes and the 2023 Euro notes at March 31, 2016 were approximately $1,420, $1,095, $596 and $319, respectively. The estimated fair values of the Term Loan Facility and the Notes are based on quotes received from third party brokers, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	3 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	Mar. 31, 2016
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (a) Guarantees Chemours has directly guaranteed various obligations of customers, suppliers and other third parties. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that Chemours could be required to make under the guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed parties is approximately $8. No amounts were accrued at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. (b) Litigation In addition to the matters discussed below, Chemours, by virtue of its status as a subsidiary of DuPont prior to the Distribution, is subject to or required under the separation-related agreements executed prior to the Distribution to indemnify DuPont against various pending legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of the Chemours business including product liability, intellectual property, commercial, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. Except for the PFOA litigation for which a separate assessment is provided in this Note, while management believes it is reasonably possible that Chemours could incur losses in excess of the amounts accrued, if any, for the aforementioned proceedings, it does not believe any such loss would have a material impact on Chemours' consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. With respect to the litigation matters discussed below, management's estimate of the probability of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, if any, is addressed individually for each matter. In the event that DuPont seeks indemnification for adverse trial rulings or outcomes for any such matter, these indemnification claims could materially adversely affect Chemours' financial condition. Disputes between Chemours and DuPont may also arise with respect to indemnification matters, including disputes based on matters of law or contract interpretation. If and to the extent these disputes arise, they could materially adversely affect Chemours. Asbestos At March 31, 2016, there were approximately 2,180 lawsuits pending against DuPont alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos. These cases are pending in state and federal court in numerous jurisdictions in the U.S. and are individually set for trial. A small number of cases are pending outside the U.S. Most of the actions were brought by contractors who worked at sites between 1950 and the 1990s. A small number of cases involve similar allegations by DuPont employees. A limited number of the cases were brought by household members of contractors or DuPont employees. Finally, certain lawsuits allege personal injury as a result of exposure to DuPont products. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Chemours had an accrual of $44 related to this matter. Chemours reviews this estimate and related assumptions quarterly and annually updates the results of an approximate 20-year projection. Management believes that the likelihood is remote that Chemours would incur losses in excess of the amounts accrued in connection with this matter. Benzene In the separation, DuPont assigned its Benzene docket to Chemours. There are 28 pending cases against DuPont alleging benzene-related illnesses. These cases consist of premises matters involving contractors and deceased former employees who claim exposure to benzene while working at DuPont sites primarily in the 1960s through the 1980s, and product liability claims based on alleged exposure to benzene found in trace amounts in aromatic hydrocarbon solvents used to manufacture DuPont products, such as paints, thinners and reducers. A benzene case (Hood v. DuPont) was tried to a verdict in Texas state court on October 20, 2015. Plaintiffs alleged that Mr. Hood's Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) was the result of 24 years of occupational exposure to trace benzene found in DuPont automotive paint products and that DuPont negligently failed to warn him that its paints, reducers and thinners contained benzene that could cause cancer or leukemia. The jury found in the Plaintiffs favor awarding $6.9 in compensatory damages and $1.5 in punitive damages. In March 2016, acting on the Company's motion, the Court struck the punitive award. Through DuPont, Chemours has filed a motion for new trial and, if denied, will appeal the remaining award based upon substantial errors made at the trial court. Management believes that a loss is reasonably possible related to these matters; however, given the evaluation of each Benzene matter is highly fact driven and impacted by disease, exposure and other factors, a range of such losses cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. PFOA Prior to the fourth quarter of 2014, Chemours used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt) as a processing aid to manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia. Chemours had accruals of $20 related to the PFOA matters discussed below at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The accruals include charges related to DuPont’s obligations under agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and voluntary commitments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). These obligations and voluntary commitments include surveying, sampling and testing drinking water in and around certain company sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national Provisional Health Advisory. Drinking Water Actions In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v. DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living near the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004 that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $23 and made a payment of $70, which class counsel designated to fund a community health project. Chemours, through DuPont, funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science panel of experts (the C8 Science Panel). The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to evaluate available scientific evidence on whether any probable link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and human disease. The C8 Science Panel found probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis and diagnosed high cholesterol. In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic testing of eligible class members. In September 2014, the medical panel recommended follow-up screening and diagnostic testing three years after initial testing, based on individual results. The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion of its protocol. Through DuPont, Chemours is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members and, in addition, administrative cost associated with the program, including class counsel fees. In January 2012, Chemours, through DuPont, put $1 in an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement. The court-appointed Director of Medical Monitoring has established the program to implement the medical panel’s recommendations and the registration process, as well as eligibility screening, is ongoing. Diagnostic screening and testing has begun and associated payments to service providers are being disbursed from the escrow account. As of March 31, 2016, less than $1 has been disbursed from the escrow account related to medical monitoring. In addition, under the settlement agreement, DuPont must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA) and private well users. Class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for those human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel determined a probable link exists. At March 31, 2016, there were approximately 3,500 lawsuits filed in various federal and state courts in Ohio and West Virginia. These lawsuits are consolidated in multi-district litigation (MDL) in Ohio federal court. Based on the information currently available to the Company, the majority of the lawsuits allege personal injury claims associated with high cholesterol and thyroid disease from exposure to PFOA in drinking water. There are 30 lawsuits alleging wrongful death. In the third quarter of 2014, six plaintiffs from the MDL were selected for individual trial. The first case (Bartlett v. DuPont) was tried to a verdict on October 7, 2015. The Plaintiff alleged that PFOA in drinking water caused her kidney cancer with causes of action for negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The jury found in favor of the Plaintiff, awarding $1.1 in damages for negligence and $0.5 for emotional distress. The jury found that DuPont’s conduct did not warrant punitive damages. DuPont Management believes that rulings made before and during the trial resulted in several significant and meritorious grounds for appeal, and has filed an appeal to the Sixth Circuit. The second case (Wolf v. DuPont), set for trial in March 2016, has been settled for an amount well below the incremental cost of preparing for trial. There are three more trials scheduled in 2016, with the next trial starting in May 2016. The court announced that, starting in May 2017, 40 individual plaintiff trials will be scheduled per year. This multi-year plan pertains only to the cases claiming cancer, which represents approximately 7% of the total number of cases in the MDL. The remaining cases, comprising approximately 93% of the docket, will remain inactive. Chemours, through DuPont, denies the allegations in these lawsuits and is defending itself vigorously. Except for the Wolf v. DuPont case, no claims have been settled or resolved during the periods presented. PFOA Summary While it is probable that the Company will incur costs related to the medical monitoring program discussed above, such costs cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding the level of participation by eligible class members and the scope of testing. Chemours believes that it is reasonably possible that it could incur losses related to the MDL in Ohio federal court discussed above but such losses cannot be estimated at this time due to the uniqueness of the individual MDL plaintiff's claims and Chemours' defenses to those claims, both as to potential liability and damages on an individual claim basis, and numerous unsettled legal issues, among other factors. The trials and appeals of these matters will occur over the course of many years. Significant unfavorable outcomes in a number of cases in the MDL could have a material adverse effect on Chemours' consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (c) Environmental Chemours, by virtue of its status as a subsidiary of DuPont prior to the Distribution, is subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical substances by Chemours or other parties. Chemours accrues for environmental remediation activities consistent with the policy set forth in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Much of this liability results from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred to as Superfund), RCRA and similar state and global laws. These laws require Chemours to undertake certain investigative, remediation and restoration activities at sites where Chemours conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where Chemours-generated waste was disposed. The accrual also includes estimated costs related to a number of sites identified for which it is probable that environmental remediation will be required, but which are not currently the subject of enforcement activities. At March 31, 2016, the Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets included a liability of $293, relating to these matters which, in management’s opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. The average time frame over which the accrued or presently unrecognized amounts may be paid, based on past history, is estimated to be 15 to 20 years. Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. Therefore, considerable uncertainty exists with respect to environmental remediation costs and, under adverse changes in circumstances, the potential liability may range up to approximately $600 above the amount accrued at March 31, 2016. Except for Pompton Lakes, which is discussed further below, based on existing facts and circumstances, management does not believe that any loss, in excess of amounts accrued, related to remediation activities at any individual site will have a material impact on the financial position, liquidity or results of operations of Chemours. Pompton Lakes The environmental remediation accrual is $86 as of March 31, 2016 related to activities at Chemours’ site in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that remediation activities at this site could range up to $119 including previously accrued amounts. This could have a material impact on the liquidity of Chemours in any given period if recognized. However, management does not believe this would have a material adverse effect on Chemours' overall financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. During the twentieth century, blasting caps, fuses and related materials were manufactured at Pompton Lakes. Operating activities at the site were ceased in the mid 1990s. Primary contaminants in the soil and sediments are lead and mercury. Ground water contaminants include volatile organic compounds. Under the authority of the EPA and the NJDEP, remedial actions at the site are focused on investigating and cleaning up the area. Ground water monitoring at the site is ongoing and Chemours, through DuPont, has installed and continues to install vapor mitigation systems at residences within the ground water plume. In addition, Chemours is further assessing ground water conditions. In June 2015, the EPA issued a modification to the site's RCRA permit that requires Chemours to dredge mercury contamination from a 36 acre area of the lake and remove sediment from two other areas of the lake near the shoreline. Chemours expects to spend about $50 over the next two to three years, which is included in the remediation accrual as of March 31, 2016, in connection with remediation activities at Pompton Lakes, including activities related to the EPA’s proposed plan. The Company expects these activities to begin sometime on or after mid-2016; however initiation of this work in the field is dependent upon timing of agency approval of permits and implementation plans.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Derivative Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Chemours uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to non-functional currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. These derivative instruments are not part of a cash flow hedge program or a fair value hedge program, and have not been designated as a hedge. Although all of the forward contracts are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement, Chemours has elected to present the derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on the balance sheets. No collateral has been required for these contracts. All gains and losses resulting from the revaluation of the derivative assets and liabilities are recognized in other income, net in the statements of operations during the period in which they occurred.

At March 31, 2016, there were 40 foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with an aggregate gross notional value of $270. Chemours recognized losses of $1 and $11 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in other income, net in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net Investment Hedge - Foreign Currency Borrowings

Beginning on July 1, 2015, Chemours designated its €360 Euro notes (see Note 14) as a hedge of its net investments in certain of its international subsidiaries that use the Euro as functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in stockholders’ equity caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar. Chemours used the spot method to measure the effectiveness of the net investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the carrying value of the Euro notes due to remeasurement of the effective portion is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet and the remaining change in the carrying value of the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in other income, net in the statements of operations. Chemours evaluates the effectiveness of its net investment hedge quarterly. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, Chemours did not record any ineffectiveness and recognized a loss of $7 on its net investment hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The table below presents the fair value of Chemours’ derivative assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy:



		Fair Value Using Level 2 Inputs
	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Asset derivatives:
Foreign currency forward contracts	Accounts and notes receivable - trade, net	$	1	$	2
Total asset derivatives		$	1	$	2

Liability derivatives
Foreign currency forward contracts	Other accrued liabilities	$	2	$	2
Total liability derivatives		$	2	$	2

We classify our foreign currency forward contracts as Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. For derivative assets and liabilities, standard industry models are used to calculate the fair value of the various financial instruments based on significant observable market inputs, such as foreign exchange rates and implied volatilities obtained from various market sources. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and subjected to tolerance/quality checks.

Long-Term Employee Benefits

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2016

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]

Long-Term Employee Benefits

The components of net periodic benefit cost (income) for all significant pension plans were as follows:



	Three months ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Service cost	$	3		$	3
Interest cost	5			5
Expected return on plan assets	(16		)	(21		)
Amortization of loss	4			4
Amortization of prior service cost	—			1
Net periodic benefit income	$	(4	)	$	(8	)

The net periodic benefit income is based on estimated values and an extensive use of assumptions about the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and the rate of future compensation increases received by the Company’s employees.

Chemours made cash contributions of $5 to its pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and expects to make additional cash contributions of $13 to the pension plan during the remainder of 2016.

Participation in the DuPont Plans

Prior to July 1, 2015, Chemours participated in DuPont’s U.S. and non-U.S. benefit plans, except in the Netherlands and Taiwan, as though they were participants in a multi-employer plan with the other businesses of DuPont. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, Chemours recognized $27 of pension and other long-term benefit expenses allocated by DuPont based on Chemours' active employee headcount.

Stock-based Compensation

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2016

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

Share-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation cost included in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income was $5 and $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation arrangements were $2 and less than $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense in prior years and until separation on July 1, 2015 was allocated to Chemours based on the portion of DuPont’s incentive stock program in which Chemours employees participated. Adopted at separation, the Chemours Equity and Incentive Plan grants certain employees, independent contractors, or non-employee directors of the Company different forms of awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs). The Equity and Incentive Plan has a maximum shares reserve of 13,500,000 for the grant of equity awards plus the number of shares of DuPont equity awards that converted into new Chemours equity awards. The Chemours Compensation Committee determines the long-term incentive mix, including stock options and RSUs, and may authorize new grants annually. As of March 31, 2016, 8,976,857 shares of the Equity and Incentive Plan are still available for grants. Subject to vesting conditions of the award, a retirement eligible employee retains any granted awards upon retirement provided the employee has rendered at least six months of service following the grant date.

Stock Options

In the first quarter 2016, Chemours granted non-qualified options to certain of its employees, which will serially vest over a three-year period and expire 10 years from date of grant. The expense related to stock options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was based on the assumptions shown in the table below. No stock options were granted by Chemours in the three months ended March 31, 2015.



Assumptions	Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
Risk-free interest rate	1.47		%
Expected term (years)	6.00
Volatility	80.24		%
Dividend yield	2.22		%
Fair value per stock option	$	3.15

The Company determined the dividend yield by dividing the expected annual dividend on the Company's stock by the option exercise price. A historical daily measurement of volatility is determined based on the average volatility of peer companies adjusted for the Company's debt leverage. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the yield on an outstanding U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the expected life of the option granted. Expected life is determined using a simplified approach, calculated as the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual life of the award.

The following table summarizes Chemours stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016.



	Number of Shares (in thousands)		Weighted Average Exercise Price(per share)		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding, December 31, 2015	8,284		$	14.66	4.82	$	—
Granted	1,285		5.40
Exercised	—		—
Forfeited	(95	)	17.45
Expired	(356	)	5.82
Outstanding, March 31, 2016	9,118		13.68		5.50	$	2,055
Exercisable, March 31, 2016	5,595		13.68		3.80	$	—

The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the company's closing stock price on the last trading day of March 31, 2016 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options at quarter end. The amount changes based on the fair market value of the company's stock. No options were exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, $4 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.67 years.

RSUs

In the first quarter 2016, Chemours granted additional RSUs to key senior management employees that generally vest over a three-year period and, upon vesting, convert one-for-one to Chemours common stock. The fair value of all stock-settled RSUs is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the grant date.

Non-vested awards of RSUs, both with and without a performance condition, as of March 31, 2016 are shown below. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the first quarter 2016 was $5.39.



	Number of Shares (in thousands)		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share)
Nonvested, December 31, 2015	2,349		14.87
Granted	779		5.39
Vested	(540	)	16.01
Forfeited	(29	)	14.95
Nonvested, March 31, 2016	2,559		11.82

As of March 31, 2016, there was $23 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.50 years.

Performance Share Units

In the first quarter 2016, Chemours issued performance share units (“PSU”) to key senior management employees, which upon vesting, covert one-for-one to Chemours' common stock if specified performance goals, including certain market-based conditions, are met over three year performance period specified in the grant, subject to exceptions through the respective vesting period of three years. Each grantee is granted a target award of PSUs, and may earn between 0% and 200% of the target amount depending on the Company’s performance against the performance goals. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to PSUs as a component of selling, general and administrative expense of less than $1. There were no PSUs granted prior to the first quarter of 2016.

The following table provides compensation costs for stock-based compensation related to PSUs.



	Number of Share Units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (per share)
Nonvested, December 31, 2015	—	$	—
Granted	734	6.10
Vested	—	—
Forfeited	—	—
Nonvested, March 31, 2016	734	$	6.10

A portion of the fair value of PSUs was estimated at the grant date based on the probability of satisfying the market-based conditions associated with the PSUs using the Monte Carlo valuation method, which assesses probabilities of various outcomes of market conditions. The other portion of the fair value of the PSUs is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the grant date, regardless of whether the market-based condition is satisfied. The per unit weighted-average fair value at the date of grant for PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $6.10. The fair value of each PSU grant is amortized monthly into compensation expense on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods over 36 months. The accrual of compensation costs is based on our estimate of the final expected value of the award, and is adjusted as required for the portion based on the performance-based condition. The Company assumes that forfeitures will be minimal, and recognizes forfeitures as they occur, which results in a reduction in compensation expense. As the payout of the PSUs includes dividend equivalents, no separate dividend yield assumption is required in calculating the fair value of the PSUs.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Chemours’ operations are classified into three reportable segments based on similar economic characteristics, the nature of products and production processes, end-use markets, channels of distribution and regulatory environment. Chemours’ reportable segments are Titanium Technologies, Fluoroproducts and Chemical Solutions. Corporate costs and certain legal and environmental expenses that are not aligned with the reportable segments and foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in Corporate and Other.

Segment sales include transfers to another reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure of segment profitability used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and is defined as income (loss) before income taxes excluding the following:


•	interest expense, depreciation and amortization,


•	non-operating pension and other postretirement employee benefit costs,


•	exchange gains (losses),


•	employee separation, asset-related charges and other charges, net,


•	asset impairments,


•	gains (losses) on sale of business or assets, and


•	other items not considered indicative of our ongoing operational performance and expected to occur infrequently.

The tables presented below reflect the reclassification of certain corporate costs, certain legal and environmental expenses that are not aligned with our reportable segments, and foreign exchange gains and losses from our reportable segments into Corporate and Other. All periods presented reflect the current definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract]

Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

In connection with the issuance of the Notes by The Chemours Company (the “Parent Issuer”), this guarantor financial information is included in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (Rule 3-10). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured unsubordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by the Parent Issuer and by certain subsidiaries (together, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned by the Company. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, guarantee the Notes (together, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Guarantor Subsidiaries of the Notes, excluding the Parent Issuer, will be automatically released from those guarantees upon the occurrence of certain customary release provisions.

The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented to comply with the Company’s requirements under Rule 3-10:


•	the Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015;


•	the Consolidating Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015; and


•	the Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

As discussed in Note 2, Chemours did not operate as a separate, stand-alone entity for the full period covered by consolidated financial statements. Prior to our separation on July 1, 2015, Chemours operations were included in DuPont's financial results in different legal forms, including, but not limited, to wholly-owned subsidiaries for which Chemours was the sole business, components of legal entities in which Chemours operated in conjunction with other DuPont businesses and a majority owned joint venture. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 have been prepared from DuPont’s historical accounting records and are presented on a stand-alone basis as if the business operations had been conducted independently from DuPont.

The condensed consolidating financial information are presented using the equity method of accounting for its investments in 100% owned subsidiaries. Under the equity method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share of the subsidiaries cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The elimination entries principally eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. The financial information in this footnote should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements presented and other notes related thereto contained in this quarterly report.

As discussed in Note 20, the Company entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement with Lanxess, pursuant to which Lanxess has agreed to acquire Chemours’ C&D Business by acquiring certain Chemours’ subsidiaries and assets comprising the C&D business, which include a guarantor subsidiary International Dioxcide, Inc. (“IDI”), a restricted subsidiary as defined in the indenture governing the notes. IDI will be automatically released from the guarantees pursuant to the provision of the indenture upon completion of the sale, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2016
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)." The update sets forth areas for simplification within several aspects of the accounting for shared-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal period, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. Chemours is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance and does not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Principal versus agent considerations (reporting revenue gross versus net)." The amendment clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and affects the guidance in ASU 2014-09. This amendment is effective on the same effective date of ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The guidance is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (original effective date). In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this guidance to provide entities with adequate time to effectively implement the new revenue standard while adoption as of the original effective date is also permitted. Chemours is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these guidance will have on its financial positions and results of operations. Also, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)." The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Further, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments," which clarifies Topic 815 requirements for assessing whether contingent call and/or put options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this update is required to assess the embedded call and/or put options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and the entity should apply the amendments on a modified retrospective basis to existing debt instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which supersedes the leases requirements in Topic 840. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, and, therefore, recognition of those lease assets and lease liabilities represents an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. A qualitative disclosure along with specific quantitative disclosures is required to provide enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this update is permitted for all entities. Chemours is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance will have to its financial position, results of operations and debt covenants. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosures for Investment in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share or its Equivalent." This guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented and earlier application is permitted. Chemours adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016. The adoption did not have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement," which provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. The customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Chemours adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” The amendments modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities and eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The amendment is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Chemours adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not change our consolidated entities, and therefore had no effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," which requires an entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition in accordance with existing guidance in Topic 718. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Chemours adopted this guidance, effective January 1, 2016, prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date. The adoption did not have a significant effect on our financial position and results of operations.
