FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other projected financial measures; projected impact of COVID-19 on our operations and future financial results; projected impact of the potential expansion of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on our operations and future financial results; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions, divestitures, business separations, spin-offs or other distributions, strategic opportunities, securities offerings, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; general economic and capital markets conditions; the timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements, including without limitation any projections derived from management’s examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable law.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks set forth in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 

Acquisition ofgaBRIEL Performance Products

On January 15, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Gabriel Performance Products, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer of specialty additives and epoxy curing agents for the coatings, adhesives, sealants and composite end-markets (the “Gabriel Acquisition”), from funds affiliated with Audax Private Equity in an all-cash transaction of approximately $251 million. The purchase price was funded from available liquidity, and the acquired business has been integrated into our Advanced Materials segment. Transaction costs related to this acquisition were approximately $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and were recorded in other operating income, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We accounted for the Gabriel Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

    

Cash paid for the Gabriel Acquisition

 $251

Goodwill

  87 

Accounts payable

 $251 

The valuation was finalized during the first quarter of 2022. Intangible assets acquired included in this allocation consist of trademarks, technology and trade secrets, which are being amortized over a period of 15 years. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to projected future profitable growth in our Advanced Materials specialty portfolio and synergies. We acquired approximately $94 million of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

 

On September 30, 2021, AAC, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, entered into a new term loan facility of 177 million Saudi riyal (“SAR”) (approximately $47 million) with Saudi British Bank, of which approximately 104 million SAR (approximately $27 million) was funded with the remainder being funded subsequent to September 30, 2021. A portion of these funds were used to repay existing debt subsequent to September 30, 2021. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, AAC, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $38$31 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, we have $10 million classified as current debt and $28$21 million as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not guarantee these loan commitments, and AAC is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations.

 

Compliance with Covenants

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our 2022Revolving Credit Facility, our A/R Programs and our senior notes.​ 

 

 

9.8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures. We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations.

Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies, and our cash flows and earnings are thus subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variations. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, we had approximately $225$384 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts related to continuing operations.

From time to time, we may purchase interest rate swaps and/or other derivative instruments to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating-rate exposures. Under interest rate swaps, we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. 

 

We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, we have designated approximately 175150 million (approximately $168$164 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, the amounts recognized on the hedge of our net investment were a lossgains of $29$6 million and a gainlosses of $7$10 million, respectively, and were recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.​

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Our investment in Venator is marked to fair value, which is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). Additionally, the estimated fair value of the option agreement related to the remaining ordinary shares we hold in Venator, which rounds to nil as of September 30, 2022, is based on a valuation technique using market observable inputs (Level 2). See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Venator Interest.” The fair values of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded in an active market (Level 1). Our investment in Venator is marked to fair value, which is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, we held no instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and there were no gains or losses (realized and unrealized) included in our earnings for instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

15.14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

On April 29, 2022, 2022,a New Orleans jury awarded us approximately $94 million in our long-running court battle against Praxair/Linde, one of the industrial gas suppliers to our Geismar, Louisiana MDI manufacturing site. The case was filed after Praxair refused to properly maintain its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gas needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After adding mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest to the court applies the appropriate amount of interest,award, we expect that total damages awarded to us will exceed $125 million.million before deducting for taxes and legal fees. The award is subject to a pending appeal, and as such,if affirmed, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $50 million to $60 million. We have not yet recognized the award in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and the timing of the resolution of this matter is unknown.​ 

 

We are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various environmental, products liability and other laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report, weWe do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

 

16.15. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHS Capital Expenditures

 

We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under environmental, health and safety (“EHS”) laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022, our capital expenditures from continuing operations for EHS matters totaled $27$11 million and $21$14 million, respectively. Because capital expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, our capital expenditures for EHS matters have varied significantly from year to year and we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts we may spend related to EHS and other applicable laws.

 

Environmental Reserves

We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are calculated using present value techniques as appropriate and are based upon requirements placed upon us by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $4 million and $5 million for environmental liabilities foras of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022, respectively. Of these amounts, $1 million was classified as accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets foras of both SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022, and $3 million and $4 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets foras of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

 

Environmental Matters

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, a current or former owner or operator of real property in the U.S. may be liable for remediation costs regardless of whether the release or disposal of hazardous substances was in compliance with law at the time it occurred, and a current owner or operator may be liable regardless of whether it owned or operated the facility at the time of the release. Outside the U.S., analogous contaminated property laws such as those in effect in France and Australia, can hold past owners and/or operators liable for remediation at former facilities. Currently, there are approximately ninesix former facilities or third-party sites in the U.S. for which we have been notified of potential claims against us for cleanup liabilities, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect these third-party claims to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties asproperties. Similar laws exist in a condition to our hazardous waste permit.number of non-U.S. locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our Geismar, Louisiana facility is the subject of ongoing remediation requirements imposed under RCRA. Similar laws exist in a number of locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities, such as Australia, India, France, Hungary and Italy.

North Maybe Canyon Mine Remediation

The North Maybe Canyon Mine site is a CERCLA site and involves a former phosphorous mine near Soda Springs, Idaho, which is believed to have been operated by several companies, including a predecessor company to us. In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service notified us that we are a CERCLA potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for contamination originating from the site. In February 2010, we and Wells Cargo (another PRP) agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of a portion of the site and are currently engaged in that process. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate our potential liabilities at this site.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, we had approximately 65 million shares remaining under the stock-based compensation plans available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Outstanding stock-based awards generally vest annually over a three-year period or in total at the end of a three-year period. Certain performance share unit awards vest in total at the end of a two-year period.

The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for us and Huntsman International for stock-based compensation arrangements was $7$2 million and $2$7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022, respectively.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted average of the assumptions utilized for stock options granted during the periods.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, there was approximately $2$1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.10.7 years. 

 

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 was approximately $12 millionnil and $8$12 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during both of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 was approximately nil and $6 million.million, respectively. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during both of the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 was approximately nil and $2 million.million, respectively.

 

Nonvested Shares

Nonvested shares granted under the stock-based compensation plans consist of restricted stock and performance share unit awards, which are accounted for as equity awards, and phantom stock, which is accounted for as a liability award because it can be settled in either stock or cash. The fair value of each restricted stock and phantom stock award is estimated to be the closing stock price of Huntsman’s stock on the date of grant.

We grant two types of performance share unit awards. For one type of performance share unit award, the performance criteria are total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the three-year performance periods. The fair value of each performance share unit award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 43.5%37.6% and 44.9%43.5%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.67%4.38% and 0.2%1.67%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a three-year performance period.

 

During the first quarter of 2022, we began issuinggranted a second type of performance share unit award, which also includes a market condition. The performance criteria are our corporate free cash flow achieved relative to targets set by management, modified for the total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the two-year performance period. The fair value of each performance share unit award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 37.9% and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.43%. For the performance share unit awards granted during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a two-year performance period. No performance share unit awards of this type were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, a total of 106,285115,685 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 7,0669,400 vested during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

(2)

A total of 193,623264,624 performance share unit awards are reflected in the vested shares in this table, which represents the target number of performance share unit awards for this grant and were included in the balance at December 31, 20212022. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, an additional 96,814132,314 performance share unit awards with a grant date fair value of $29.68$22.85 were issued due to the target performance criteria being exceeded.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, there was approximately $39$45 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.82.1 years. The value of share awards that vested during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 was approximately $32$28 million and $18$32 million, respectively.

18.17. INCOME TAXES

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on an individual tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of our businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the applicable period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there was no tax benefit or expense recognized in connection with the net losses of $9 million and $28 million, respectively, on fair value adjustments to our Venator investment and related option to sell our remaining Venator shares recorded as part of non-operating income from continuing operations. Through December 31, 2021, we have recognized the portion of our Venator investment tax basis in excess of book that we ultimately expect to be able to utilize; no incremental tax benefit has been recognized on the year-to-date fair value losses incurred in 2021 or 2022. As a significant, unusual and non-operating item, these amounts were treated discretely and excluded from the annual effective tax rate calculation for interim reporting.​

Huntsman Corporation

We recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $155$39 million and $101$125 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022, respectively. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. 

 

Huntsman International

Huntsman International recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $156$39 million and $102$126 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022, respectively. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions.

 

 

19.18. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as potential dilutive securities.

Basic and diluted income per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

20.19. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION 

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated and commoditydiversified organic chemical products. We have three operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. We have organized our business and derived our operating segments around differences in product lines. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the results of our Textile Effects Business are reported as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Textile Effects Business.”

 

The major products of each reportable operating segment are as follows:

Segment

    

Products

Polyurethanes

MDI, polyols, TPU and other polyurethane-related products

Performance Products

Specialty amines, ethyleneamines, maleic anhydride and technology licenses

Advanced Materials

Specialty resin compounds; cross-linking, matting,Technologically-advanced epoxy, phenoxy, acrylic, polyurethane and acrylonitrile-butadiene-based polymer formulations; high performance thermoset resins, curing andagents, toughening agents; epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane-based formulations; specialty nitrile latex, alkyd resinsagents, and carbon nano materialsnanotubes additives

 

Sales between segments are generally recognized at external market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. We use adjusted EBITDA to measure the financial performance of our global business units and for reporting the results of our operating segments. This measure includes all operating items relating to the businesses. The adjusted EBITDA of operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our Company as a whole. The following schedule includes revenues and adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments (dollars in millions). We have revised our prior year presentation below to reconcile total reportable segments’ adjusted EBITDA to income from continuing operations before income taxes, in addition to net income, and removed “corporate and other costs, net” from the total reportable segments’ adjusted EBITDA and included such amounts in the reconciliation to income from continuing operations before income taxes. Additionally, we have revised our prior year presentation of total reportable segments’ revenues, in which we removed intersegment eliminations from the total reportable segments’ revenues.

We use segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of each segment’s profit or loss. We believe that segment adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects what the chief operating decision maker uses to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their financial performance. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and certain Corporate and other items, and income from discontinued operations, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (c) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (d) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (e)(d) costs associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (f)(e) gain (loss) gain on sale of business/assets; (g)(f) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (h)arrangements; (g) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i)(h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j)(i) plant incident remediation credits (costs); and (k)(j) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs.costs; and (k) (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

(2)Corporate and other costs, net includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign currency exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, nonoperating income and expense and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We operate in three segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, insulation, medical, packaging, coatings and construction, power generation, refining and synthetic fiber industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, maleic anhydride and epoxy-based polymer formulations. Our revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2,011 million and $2,097 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $6,373 million and $5,558 million, respectively.

Recent Developments

European Restructuring Program

In early November 2022, we announced our commitment and specific plans to further realign our cost structure beyond the current in-progress cost optimization programs with additional restructuring in Europe. The new program will include exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with this program, we expect to record restructuring expenses of approximately $50 million through 2023.

Sale of Textile Effects Business 

On August 9, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a total enterprise value of $718 million, which includes the assumption of approximately $125 million in net underfunded pension liabilities as of December 31, 2021. We anticipate the transaction will close no later than the first half of 2023. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the results of our Textile Effects Business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Textile Effects Business” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Outlook 

We expect the following factors to impact our operating segments:

Polyurethanes:

Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $55 million and $85 million

European profitability negatively driven by high energy prices and declining demand

Americas end markets weaker, particularly in construction

Modest increase in automotive market sales volumes year-over-year

Lower production rates to reduce inventory and match lower demand

Performance Products:

Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $60 million and $80 million

Lower sales volumes year-over-year, primarily in Europe and in construction markets

Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to be within 20% to 25%

Advanced Materials:

Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $40 million and $45 million

Automotive and aerospace markets remain stable

Demand headwinds in industrial markets


 

In the third quarter of 2022, both our effective tax rate and our adjusted effective tax rate were 21%. For 2022, our adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 22% to 24%. For further information, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Note 18. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of our use of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain income and expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and certain Corporate and other items, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (f)(e) costs associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (g)(f) (gain) loss (gain) on sale of business/assets; (h)(g) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (i)arrangements; (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (j)(i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (k)(j) plant incident remediation (credits) costs;credits; and (l)(k) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. We believe that net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA.

 

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing the businesses’ ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, or other measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. Our management believes this measure is useful to compare general operating performance from period to period and to make certain related management decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expense can vary considerably among companies. Finally, companies employ productive assets of different ages and utilize different methods of acquiring and depreciating such assets. This can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

 

Nevertheless, our management recognizes that there are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company as compared to net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, which reflects overall financial performance. For example, we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Our management compensates for the limitations of using adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than U.S. GAAP results alone.

Adjusted Net Income

 

Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) incomeloss (income) from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (f)(e) costs associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (g) gain(f) (gain) loss on sale of business/assets; (h)(g) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (i)arrangements; (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (j)(i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (k)(j) plant incident remediation (credits) costs;credits; and (l)(k) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. Basic adjusted net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted diluted net income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information.

 

We believe adjusted net income is useful to investors in assessing the businesses’ ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends.

 

Free Cash Flow

 

We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Management internally uses a free cash flow measure: (a) to evaluate our liquidity, (b) evaluate strategic investments, (c) plan stock buyback and dividend levels and (d) evaluate our ability to incur and service debt. 

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

 

We believe that the effective tax rate of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted effective tax rate. We believe our adjusted effective tax rate provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items, such as, business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, certain legal and other settlements and related expenses, gains on sale of businesses/assets and certain tax only items, including tax law changes not yet enacted, that we believe are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends.

 

Our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate is calculated based on our forecast effective tax rate, and the range of our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate equals the range of our forecast effective tax rate. We disclose forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate because we cannot adequately forecast certain items and events that may or may not impact us in the near future, such as business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, certain legal and other settlements and related expenses, gains on sale of businesses/assets and certain tax only items, including tax law changes not yet enacted. Each of such adjustment has not yet occurred, is out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. In our view, our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate represents the forecast effective tax rate on our underlying business operations but does not reflect any adjustments related to the items noted above that may occur and can cause our effective tax rate to differ.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding risk factors, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition to the risk factors noted in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following risk factor is applicable to us.2022. 

 

The proposed sale of our Textile Effects Business is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, will require significant time and attention of our management and may have an adverse effect on us if not completed.

On August 9, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a total enterprise value of $718 million, which includes the assumption of approximately $125 million in net underfunded pension liabilities as of December 31, 2021. Completion of the proposed sale is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including but not limited to regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that any of such conditions will be satisfied and that the proposed sale will be successfully completed. These or other unanticipated developments could delay or prevent the transaction from closing or cause it to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated, which could cause our common stock to experience negative reactions from the financial markets.

In pursuing the proposed sale, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected, and we may be subject to certain risks and consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:

• execution of the proposed sale has required, and will continue to require, significant time and attention from management, which may postpone the execution of other initiatives that may have been beneficial to us;

• completion of the proposed sale will require strategic, structural and process realignment and restructuring actions within our operations, which could lead to a disruption of our operations, as well as the loss of, or inability to recruit, key personnel needed to operate and grow our businesses;

• completion of the proposed sale may require certain management and procedural redundancies as we prepare for closing, which may result in operating inefficiencies; and

• whether or not the proposed sale is completed, we may be responsible for certain costs and expenses, such as legal, accounting and other professional fees, which may be significant.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the price of our common stock.​​
