Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported third quarter 2015 results with revenues of $2,638 million and adjusted EBITDA of $311 million.

Peter R. Huntsman, our President and CEO, commented:

"We are aggressively focused on those elements within our business that we can control and are fully committed to an improvement in our free cash flow generation. We reduced our planned capital expenditures by a combined total of $150 million over the next two years and are determined to deliver more than $100 million of future synergy and restructuring savings. We expect our 2016 free cash flow to improve by at least $350 million.

"As an expression of confidence in the company's future and our ability to deliver further shareholder value the board authorized $150 million of share repurchases. We intend to enter into a $100 million accelerated share repurchase transaction which will be completed within the next several months.

"Our board of directors has made it clear that we intend to exit the TiO₂business. We have narrowed our options to just two – one comprises a TiO₂ spin to our shareholders and the other option constitutes a more strategic move. More information will be forthcoming in the near future."

Segment Analysis for 3Q15 Compared to 3Q14

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to lower average selling prices partially offset by higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. PO/MTBE average selling prices decreased in-line with lower pricing for high octane gasoline. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased primarily as a result of not experiencing an unplanned manufacturing disruption at our Port Neches, Texas facility as we did in the third quarter 2014. MDI sales volumes decreased due to lower demand in the Asian and Americas regions partially offset by growth in the European region. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies and lower MDI sales volumes partially offset by higher MDI contribution margins.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. Sales volumes increased primarily due to higher sales volumes of ethylene oxide intermediates. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins in our upstream intermediates business, partially offset by higher contribution margins in our amines and maleic anhydride businesses.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of certain business, customer destocking and competitive pressure. Average selling prices increased on a local currency basis in the Americas due to certain price increase initiatives and our focus on higher value markets; overall this was more than offset by the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies.

Textile Effects

The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business and challenging market conditions. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies.

Pigments and Additives

Pro forma for the acquisition of Rockwood Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses, revenues decreased in our Pigments and Additives division for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of high titanium dioxide industry inventory levels and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily as a result of lower end use demand and the impact of a nitrogen tank explosion owned and operated by a third party at our Uerdingen, Germany facility which disrupted our manufacturing. The decrease in pro forma adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins for titanium dioxide and the negative impact from the manufacturing disruption at our Uerdingen, Germany facility. The total impact from the manufacturing disruption was approximately $8 million approximately $5 million related to lost sales volumes and unabsorbed fixed costs and approximately $3 million related to clean up costs that have been excluded from adjusted EBITDA.

Corporate, LIFO and Other

Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and Other decreased by $1 million to a loss of $50 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a loss of $49 million for the same period in 2014.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt

As of September 30, 2015, we had $1,215 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $1,601 million at December 31, 2014.

In August 2015, we entered into an amendment of our credit agreement. The amendment extends $773 million of our term loan B from 2017 to 2019.

In September 2015, we redeemed $198 million of 8 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2021 with cash on hand.

We expect to spend approximately $450 million annually on capital expenditures in 2016 and 2017. This represents a combined reduction of $150 million compared to prior guidance.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an income tax expense of $49 million and paid $51 million in cash for income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was 26%.

We expect our 2015 and long term adjusted effective tax rate to be approximately 30%.

Footnotes

(1)	We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business. We provide adjusted net income because we feel it provides meaningful insight for the investment community into the performance of our business. We believe that net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") that is most directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income. Additional information with respect to our use of each of these financial measures follows:

	EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is set forth in Table 8 above.

	Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: (a) acquisition and integration expenses, purchase accounting adjustments; (b) loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; (g) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (h) plant incident remediation costs; (i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and (j) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits). The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA is set forth in Table 6 above.

	Adjusted net income (loss) is computed by eliminating the after tax impact of the following items from net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation: (a) acquisition and integration expenses, purchase accounting adjustments; (b) impact of certain foreign tax credit elections; (c) loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; (d) loss (income) from discontinued operations; (e) discount amortization on settlement financing associated with the terminated merger; (f) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (g) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (h) extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; (i) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (j) plant incident remediation costs; (k) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and (l) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits). We do not adjust for changes in tax valuation allowances because we do not believe it provides more meaningful information than is provided under GAAP. The reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders is set forth in Table 6 above.

(2)	Pro forma adjusted as if it had occurred at the beginning of the relevant period to (a) include the October 1, 2014 acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood Holdings, Inc.; (b) to exclude the related sale of our TR52 product line – used in printing inks – to Henan Billions Chemicals Co., Ltd. in December 2014; and (c) to exclude the allocation of general corporate overhead by Rockwood.

(3)	During the first quarter 2010 we closed our Australian styrenics operations; results from this business are treated as discontinued operations.
