QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10‑Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD

ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

FORWARD‑LOOKINGFORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this report contains “forward‑looking“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‑lookingforward-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; 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,spin-offs or other distributions, strategic opportunities, securities offerings,financing activities, 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, or the potential outcomes thereof, 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‑lookingforward-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‑lookingforward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward‑lookingforward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant Ltd, a Swiss corporation, (“Clariant”), and HurricaneCyclone Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Clariant (“Merger Sub”, collectively, the “Parties”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) which contemplated that Merger Sub would be merged with and into Huntsman, with Huntsman surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariant. On October 26, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into a Termination Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2017 (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties mutually terminated the Merger Agreement. No fees are currently payable under the terms of the Termination Agreement. Huntsman and Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby.  Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement.    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18 million, nil and nil, respectively.

All forward‑lookingforward-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 result or be achieved. All forward‑lookingforward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward‑lookingforward-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‑lookingforward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward‑lookingforward-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‑K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. 2023.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of the former P&A Business as discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.” In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shut down substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We also report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations.

COMPANY

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATIONPrinciples of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly‑ownedwholly-owned and majority‑ownedmajority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONSHuntsman International declared and paid to us distributions in the form of certain affiliate accounts receivable during 2024 and 2023.

 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications were to record the assets and liabilities as held for sale and resultsUse of operations of the former P&A Business to discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.” In connection with the separation of the P&A Business, certain entities were removed from the debt guarantor structure. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information included in “Note 19. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Huntsman International LLC” has been presented as if the new debt guarantor structure existed for all periods presented.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Separation of the P&A Business

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. All of such ordinary shares were sold by Huntsman and Venator did not receive any proceeds from the offering. Venator’s ordinary shares began trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNTR” on August 3, 2017. Huntsman retains approximately 75% ownership in Venator. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the P&A Business as discontinued operations. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.”

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million on our senior credit facilities (“Senior Credit Facilities”), of which $106 million was paid on our extended term loan B facility due 2015 (“2015 Extended Term Loan B”),  $347 million was paid on our term loan B facility due 2021 (“2021 Term Loan B”), and $754 million was paid on our term loan B facility due 2023 (“2023 Term Loan B”). The funds used to pay down the debt included $732 million received from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to Huntsman and $475 million from proceeds of the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepayments of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities.”

Termination of Huntsman and Clariant Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement which contemplated that Merger Sub would be merged with and into Huntsman, with Huntsman surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariant. On October 26, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Termination Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2017, pursuant to which the parties mutually terminated the Merger Agreement. No fees are currently payable under the terms of the Termination Agreement. Huntsman and

17


Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby.  Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18 million, nil and nil, respectively.

Debt Prepayment

In addition to the debt prepayments made in connection with the separation of our former P&A Business and the Venator IPO described above, on October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities.”

USE OF ESTIMATESEstimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSSTANDARDS

 

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2017RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In July 2015, theOn January 1, 2024, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued(FASB) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 330)280): SimplifyingImprovements to Reportable Segment Disclosures; however, the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method, but rather does apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in first-out or average cost. An entity should measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this ASUrequired disclosures are effective for fiscal years,our 2024 annual reporting and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and the initial adoption of the amendment in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share‑Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU simplify several aspects of the accounting for share‑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 ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and the initial adoption of the amendment in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, which eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017 and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

18


Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption in Future Periods

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, deferring the effective date of ASU No. 2014‑09 for all entities by one year. Further, 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), clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time), in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Customers (Topic 606): Narrow‑Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, providing clarifications and practical expedients for certain narrow aspects in Topic 606, and in December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments in ASU No. 2014‑09, ASU No. 2016‑08, ASU No. 2016‑10, ASU No. 2016‑12 and ASU No. 2016‑20 should be applied retrospectively, and early application is permitted. We are substantially complete with our analysis to identify areas that will be impacted by the adoption of the amendments in ASU No. 2014‑09, ASU No. 2016‑08, ASU No. 2016‑10, ASU No. 2016‑12 and ASU No. 2016‑20 on our condensed consolidated financial statements. At this time, other than additional required disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of the amendments in these ASUs to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard will be adopted in our fiscal year 2018, and we have elected the modified retrospective approach as the transition method.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU will increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU will require lessees to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted for all entities. Reporting entities are required to recognize and measure leases under these amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this ASUaccounting standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements and believe,related disclosures.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PENDING ADOPTION IN FUTURE PERIODS

The following relevant accounting standard becomes effective subsequent to fiscal year 2024, and we are currently evaluating the impact of the future adoption of this accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures:

FASB ASU No.2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, effective for annual periods of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS 

SEPARATION AND ACQUISITION OF ASSETS OF SLIC JOINT VENTURE

On January 31, 2024, we completed the planned separation and acquisition of assets of Shanghai Lianheng Isocyanate Company Ltd. (“SLIC”), our joint venture with BASF and three Chinese chemical companies. The final purchase price of the acquired assets will be determined based on an asset valuation, which we currently expect to be completed in the first half of 2024. The acquisition of the assets was funded in part with Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai Ltd., our 70%-owned consolidated joint venture in China (“HPS”), issuing a U.S. dollar equivalent note payable at closing of approximately $218 million, as adjusted to reflect the preliminary assessment,valuation and is subject to further change pending the final valuation. As of March 31, 2024, the note payable has been reduced by approximately $28 million to reflect cash payments made during the quarter. We expect that the remainder of the note payable will be paid by the end of 2024 using available funds at HPS. Upon liquidation of the joint venture, all remaining cash of SLIC, primarily resulting from the proceeds received by SLIC, will be distributed back to the joint venture partners. We currently anticipate that the liquidation will be completed by mid-2025.

The acquisition is being integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. Transaction costs related to this acquisition were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We have accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we will record significant additional right-to-useanalyzed the fair value of assets acquired. The preliminary allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired is summarized as follow (dollars in millions):

Fair value of assets acquired:

    

Accounts receivable

 $20 

Inventories

  10 

Property, plant and equipment

  233 

Other long-term assets

  23 

Deferred income taxes

  1 

Total

 $287 

The acquisition cost allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired, including final valuation of certain inventories, property, plant and equipment, leases, other long-term assets and lease obligations.deferred taxes. It is possible that material changes to this preliminary valuation and allocation of acquisition cost could occur. The preliminary estimate of the total fair value of the assets acquired is in excess of the acquisition cost resulting in a preliminary net bargain purchase gain of approximately $52 million. Concurrent with the acquisition of assets, we wrote off certain prepaid assets of approximately $71 million related to operating agreements with SLIC and other joint venture partners.

 

In August 2016,According to the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU clarify and include specific guidance to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We do not expect the adoptionoperating agreement of the amendmentsjoint venture, SLIC sold all of its output to the joint venture partners with no external sales. After the separation and acquisition of assets, we use all of the output of the acquired assets for internal use. As such, the acquired business has no external revenues or net income.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 

SaLEof tEXTILE eFFECTS bUSINESS

On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our textile chemicals and dyes business (“Textile Effects Business”) to Archroma, a portfolio company of SK Capital Partners (“Archroma”), and during the first quarter of 2024, we finalized the purchase price valued at $597 million, which includes adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a net charge of approximately $8 million related to certain post-closing indemnification obligations and other outstanding charges between the parties. During the first quarter of 2024, we have paid cash taxes of approximately $1 million, and we expect to pay additional cash taxes of approximately $11 million.

The following table reconciles major line items constituting pretax (loss) income of discontinued operations to after-tax (loss) income of discontinued operations, primarily related to our Textile Effects Business, as presented in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.statements of operations (dollars in millions): 

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The amendments in this ASU require entities to recognize the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, as opposed to deferring the recognition of the income tax consequences until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

5. INVENTORIES

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning‑of‑period and end‑of‑period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact onstate our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments in this ASU require that an employer report the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the same line items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations. The amendments in this ASU also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in assets. The amendments in this ASU will impact the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our current presentation of service cost components is consistent with the amendments in this ASU. Upon adoption of the amendments in this ASU, we expect to present the other components within other nonoperating income, whereas we currently present these within cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships as well as the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements to increase the understandability of the results of an entity’s intended hedging strategies. The amendments in this ASU also include certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in any interim period after the issuance of this ASU. Transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness, and the amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are statedinventories at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using LIFO, first-in first-out,average cost, last-in first-out (“LIFO”) and average costfirst-in first-out methods for different components of inventory. Inventories consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. Following the IPO, we retained approximately 75% ownership in Venator. We intend to monetize our retained ownership in Venator at prevailing market conditions and expect to implement multiple follow-on capital market or block transactions to permit the orderly distribution of our retained shares.

In August 2017, we entered into a separation agreement, a transition services agreement (“TSA”) and a registration rights agreement with Venator to effect the Separation and provide a framework for a short term set of transition services as well as a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. Pursuant to the TSA, we will, for a limited time following the Separation, provide Venator with certain services and functions that the parties have historically shared, including administrative, payroll, human resources, data processing, environmental, health and safety, financial audit support, financial transaction support, marketing support, information technology systems and various other corporate and support services. We may also provide Venator with additional services that Venator and Huntsman may identify from time to time in the future. In general, the services began following the Separation and cover a period not expected to exceed 24 months; however, Venator may terminate individual services provided by us under the TSA early, as it becomes able to operate its business without such services.

5.6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

·

Rubicon LLC is our 50%-owned joint venture with ChemturaLanxess that manufactures products for our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments. The structure of the joint venture is such that the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint venture to finance its activities without additional financial support. By virtue of the operating agreement with this joint venture, we purchase a majority of the output, absorb a majority of the operating costs and provide a majority of the additional funding.

·

Arabian Amines Company (“AAC”) is our 50%-owned joint venture with Zamil group that manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. As required in the operating agreement governing this joint

23


venture, we purchase all of Arabian Amines Company’s production and sell it to our customers. Substantially all of the joint venture’s activities are conducted on our behalf.

·

Sasol‑Huntsman is our 50%-owned joint venture with Sasol that owns and operates a maleic anhydride facility in Moers, Germany. This joint venture manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. The joint venture uses our technology and expertise, and we bear a disproportionate amount of risk of loss due to a related‑party loan to Sasol‑Huntsman for which we bear the default risk.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no changes in our variable interest entities.

Creditors of theseour variable interest entities have no recourse to our general credit. See “Note 7.8. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt.” As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, the joint ventures’ assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the carrying amountamounts of our variable interest entities’ assets and liabilities included in our condensed consolidated balance sheetssheet as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and our consolidated balance sheetssheet as of December 31, 20162023 (dollars in millions):

Debt Issuance CostsRevolving Credit Facility

 

We record debt issuance costs related toOn May 20, 2022, Huntsman International entered into a debt liabilitynew $1.2 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings will bear interest at the rates specified in the credit agreement governing the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, which will vary based on the balance sheet as atype of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. Under the credit agreement, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee rates are also subject to adjustments based on the Company’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to annual percentage reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity and annual percentage reduction in water consumption intensity. Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the face amountcredit agreement will mature in May 2027. Huntsman International may increase the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility commitments up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of that debt liability. Ascertain conditions.

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million ($450 million of which constituted a mandatory repayment as described in the seventeenth amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities) on our Senior Credit Facilities, of which $106 million was paid on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, $347 million was paid on our 2021 Term Loan B, and $754 million was paid on our 2023 Term Loan B. The funds used to pay down the debt included $732 million received from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to Huntsman and $475 million from proceeds of the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepayments of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million.

In connection with the Separation, Venator raised $750 million of new financing, which included (i) $375 million of senior unsecured notes and (ii) $375 million under a new senior secured term loan facility. In addition, Venator entered into a new undrawn asset-based revolving lending facility in aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. The Venator senior unsecured notes are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by Venator and certain Venator subsidiaries. The Venator senior credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by Venator and certain of its subsidiaries. At Separation, the Venator debt facilities were recorded within current liabilities of discontinued operations. Huntsman Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than Venator and its subsidiaries) do not provide any direct or indirect guarantee for the Venator debt obligations described above and they are non recourse to Huntsman Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Seventeenth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On June 15, 2017, Huntsman International entered into a seventeenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted us to complete the Separation.

In connection with the Separation, the amendment permitted the incurrence of certain indebtedness of Venator and the internal restructuring of the P&A Business assets. With the completion of the Separation, Venator and its subsidiaries were designated as unrestricted subsidiaries.

A/R Programs

Our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program (“U.S. A/R Program”) and our European accounts receivable securitization program (“EU A/R Program” and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, “A/R Programs”) are structured so that we transfer certain of our trade receivables to the U.S. special purpose entity (“U.S. SPE”) and the European special purpose entity (“EU SPE”) in transactions intended to be true sales or true contributions. The receivables collateralize debt incurred by the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE.

On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.

As of March 31, 2024, we have $9 million classified as current debt and $15 million as of September 30, 2017long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. AsWe do not guarantee these loan commitments, and AAC is not a guarantor of September 30, 2017, under the termsany of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Program, less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).other debt obligations.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTSDebt Issuance Costs

We record debt issuance costs related to a debt liability on the balance sheets as a reduction to the face amount of that debt liability. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of debt issuance costs directly reducing the debt liability was $6 million and $7 million, respectively. We amortize debt issuance costs using either a straight line or effective interest method, depending on the debt agreement, and record them as interest expense.​

 

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes.Compliance with Covenants

Our material financing arrangements contain certain2022 Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant regarding the leverage ratio of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility also contains other customary covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in aand events of default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate

waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result inthis type. Upon an event of default under another financing arrangement.

Our Senior Credit Facilities are subjectthat is not cured or waived within any applicable cure periods, in addition to a single financial covenant (the “Leverage Covenant”), which applies onlyother remedies that may be available to the Revolving Facility and is calculated atlenders, the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstandingobligations under the 2022Revolving Credit Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant, which requires that Huntsman International’s ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.accelerated.

 

The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs’ metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior2022 Revolving Credit Facilities,Facility, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior2022 Revolving Credit FacilitiesFacility in full and could result in the loss of our Senior2022 Revolving Credit Facilities.Facility.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded as an unrealized currency translation adjustment in other accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately $81$185 million inand $387 million, respectively, of notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.contracts related to continuing operations.

Huntsman International had entered into several interest rate contracts to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). These swaps expired in April 2017.

Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See “Note 5. Variable Interest Entities.” The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2017 was $16 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the swap was $1 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil due to changes in fair value of the swap.

In November 2014, we entered into two five year cross-currency interest rate contracts and one eight year cross-currency interest rate contract to swap an aggregate notional $200 million for an aggregate notional €161 million. This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. Under the cross-currency interest rate contract, we will receive fixed U.S. dollar payments of $5 million semiannually on May 15 and November 15 (equivalent to an annual rate of 5.125%) and make interest payments of approximately €3 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 3.6%). In August 2017, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $7 million from the counterparties.

A portion of our debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. From time to time, we review such designationmay purchase interest rate swaps and/or other derivative instruments to reduce the impact of intercompany loans.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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we have designated approximately €505€90 million (approximately $592$97 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of lossamounts recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $85were losses of approximately $1 million and was$4 million, respectively, and were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) onin our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.​

The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates, exchange rates, and yield curves at stated intervals. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine the fair value during the current period.

In November 2014, we entered into two five year cross-currency interest rate contracts and one eight year cross-currency interest rate contract. These instruments had been categorized by us as Level 3 withinDuring the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs associated with the credit valuation adjustment, which we deemed to be significant inputs to the overall measurement of fair value at inception. In August 2017, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $7 million in payments from the counterparties.

We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non‑recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded charges of nil for the impairment of long‑lived assets.

13.15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERSLegal Matters

Product Delivery Claim

On April 19, 2024, the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed the $93.1 million jury verdict and district court judgment in our favor 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 maintain properly its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gases needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After adding mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest to the award, we expect damages to exceed $135 million before deducting for taxes and legal contingency fees. The award remains subject to further potential review but, if affirmed or reviewed by the Louisiana Supreme Court, wewould expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $50 million to $60 million. We have been notified by a customernot yet recognized the award in our condensed consolidated statements of potential claims related to our alleged delivery of a different product than the one the customer had ordered. Our customer claims that it was unaware that the different product had been delivered until after that product had been used to manufacture materials which were subsequently sold. Originally, the customer stated that it had been notified of claims by its customers of up to an aggregate of €153 million (approximately $179 million) relating to this matter and claimed that we may be responsible for all or a portion of these potential claims. Our customer has since resolved some of these claimsoperations and the aggregate amounttiming of the current claims is now approximately €113 million (approximately $132 million). Based on the facts currently available, we believe that we are insured for any liability we may ultimately have in excessresolution of $10 million. However, no assurance can be given regarding our ultimate liability or costs. We believe our range of possible loss in this matter is between €0 and €113 million (approximately $132 million), and we have made no accrual with respect to this matter.

Indemnification Matters

On July 3, 2012, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“the Banks”) demanded that we indemnify them for claims brought against them by certain MatlinPatterson entities that were formerly our stockholders (“MatlinPatterson”) in litigation filed by MatlinPatterson on June 19, 2012 in the 9th District Court in Montgomery County, Texas (the “Texas Litigation”). We denied the Banks’ indemnification demand for the Texas Litigation. These claims allegedly arose from the failed acquisition by and merger with Hexion. The Texas Litigation was dismissed, which was upheld by the Ninth Court of Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court denied review by final order entered January 7, 2016.

On July 14, 2014, the Banks demanded that we indemnify them for additional claims brought against them by certain other former Company stockholders in litigation filed June 14, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (the “Wisconsin Litigation”). We denied the Banks’ indemnification demand for the Wisconsin Litigation and have made no accrual with respect to this matter. The stockholders in the Wisconsin Litigation have made essentially the same factual allegations as MatlinPatterson made in the Texas Litigation and, additionally, have named Apollo Global Management LLC and Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. as defendants. Stockholder

38


plaintiffs in the Wisconsin Litigation assert claims for misrepresentation and conspiracy to defraud. On June 30, 2016, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the Apollo defendants and on December 5, 2016, the court dismissed Deutsche Bank for lack of personal jurisdiction, but denied Credit Suisse's motion to dismiss. Subsequently, Credit Suisse asked the court to reconsider its decision or certify its judgment to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals for an immediate appeal, which remains pending. Subsequent to discovery, Credit Suisse filed a motion for summary judgment on August 25, 2017, which also remains pending.

Other Proceedingsuncertain.

 

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.

 

14.16. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHS CAPITAL EXPENDITURESEHSCapital 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, our capital expenditures from continuing operations for EHS matters totaled $23$5 million and $33$6 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 RESERVESEnvironmental 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 $22$14 million and $5 million for environmental liabilities for both September 30, 2017as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016.2023, respectively. Of these amounts, $4$6 million and $7$2 million were classified as accrued liabilities in each of our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016,2023, respectively, and $18$8 million and $15$3 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016,2023, 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 MATTERSEnvironmental Matters

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"(“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 six former facilities or third-partythird-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-partythird-party claims to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"(“RCRA”) in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties asproperties.

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

By letter dated March 7, 2006, our former Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia was issued a cleanup notice by the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria ("EPA Victoria") due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the site. On August 23, 2010, EPA Victoria revoked a second cleanup notice and issued a revised notice that included a requirement for financial assurance for the remediation. As of September 30, 2017, we had an accrued liability of approximately $15 million related to estimated environmental remediation costs at this site. We can provide no assurance that the authority will not seek to institute additional requirements for the site or that additional costs will not be required for the cleanup.

North Maybe 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.

15. STOCK‑BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

On May 5, 2016, our stockholders approved a new Huntsman Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Stock Incentive Plan”)March 31, 2024, which reserved 8.2 million shares for issuance. The Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Prior Plan”), remains in effect for outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Prior Plan, but no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plan. Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants under both the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan are fixed at the grant date. In connection with the Separation, certain individuals who were granted awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan terminated from Huntsman and are now affiliated with Venator. The unvested awards previously granted to these individuals were converted to awards under Venator’s stock incentive plan during August 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we were authorized to grant up to 8.2 million shares under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately 85 million shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Incentive Planstock-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-yearthree-year period or in total at the end of a three-year period.

 

In connection with the Separation, certain individuals who were granted awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan were transferred to Venator. The unvested awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan previously granted to these individuals were converted to awards under Venator’s stock incentive plan during August 2017.

The weighted‑average grant‑date fair value


As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, there was $11 million of totalno unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.stock-based compensation plans. 

 

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 20162023 was approximately $11$1 million and nil, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during both of the ninethree months

41


ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 20162023 was approximately $22 million and nil respectively.. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during both of the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 20162023 was approximately $3 million and nil respectively..

 

NONVESTED SHARESNonvested Shares

Nonvested shares granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Planstock-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.

For our performance share unit awards, 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 45.0%31.8% and 39.3%37.6%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.5%4.39% and 0.9%4.38%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted induring the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a three-yearthree-year performance period. 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.

16.18. 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.

 

42


During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we released a valuation allowance of $7 million on certain net deferred assets of our Polyurethanes business in Italy. On March 1, 2017 and April 1, 2017, we demerged the Italian legal entities containing our Polyurethanes business from our combined Italian tax group. The historical and expected continued profitability of that Polyurethanes business resulted in the release of the associated valuation allowance. During the same period, we also released a valuation allowance of $13 million on certain deferred tax assets in Luxembourg as a result of changes in estimated future taxable income resulting from increased intercompany receivables and, therefore, increased income in Luxembourg, our primary treasury center outside of the U.S.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding income tax expense of $7 million and $3 million, respectively. Additional increases and decreases in unrecognized tax benefits were offset by cash settlements or decreases in net deferred tax assets and, therefore, did not affect income tax expense.

We recorded an additional income tax liability of approximately $45 million related to our tax gain on the Venator IPO proceeds, net of separation costs and IPO expenses.

Huntsman Corporation

We recorded income tax expensebenefit (expense) from continuing operations of $78$20 million and $65$(11) million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million resulting from the write-off of certain prepaid assets related to operating agreements with SLIC and other joint venture partners concurrent with the separation and acquisition of assets of SLIC. 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. Our effective tax rate was 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Higher than expected earnings in countries with low tax rates or valuation allowances, and the release of certain valuation allowances in Italy and Luxenbourg, resulted in a lower effective tax rate through the third quarter of 2017.

 

Huntsman International

Huntsman International recorded income tax (benefit) expense from continuing operations of $77$20 million and $65$(11) million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 March 31, 2024 and 2016,2023, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $18 million resulting from the write-off of certain prepaid assets related to operating agreements with SLIC and other joint venture partners concurrent with the separation and acquisition of assets of SLIC. 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. Our effective tax rate was 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Higher than expected earnings in countries with low tax rates and valuation allowances, and the release of certain valuation allowances in Italy and Luxenbourg, resulted in a lower effective tax rate through the third quarter of 2017.

 

17. NET INCOME19. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders 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 availableattributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders 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. Diluted income per share is computed using the treasury stock method for all stock-based awards. In periods with reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation, all stock-based awards are generally deemed anti-dilutive and would be excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income regardless of whether there is income or loss from discontinued operations and net income.

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, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses;expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) merger costs;fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) minority interest of discontinued operations; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (g) gain on sale of assets; (h)(d) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (e) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (i) net plant incident credits (costs); and (j)(f) restructuring, impairment, and plant closing and transition costs.(costs) credits; and (g) (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Includes costs associated with transition activities related primarily to our Corporate program to optimize our global approach to leverage shared services capabilities.

   

The following unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements present, in separate columns, financial information for the following: Huntsman International (on a parent only basis), with its investment in subsidiaries recorded under the equity method; the Guarantors on a combined, and where appropriate, consolidated basis; and the Nonguarantors on a combined, and where appropriate, consolidated basis. Additional columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. There are no contractual restrictions limiting transfers of cash from the Guarantors to Huntsman International. Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned by Huntsman International and has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain customary release provisions, Huntsman International’s outstanding notes on a joint and several basis.

In connection with the separation of the P&A business during the third quarter of 2017 (see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations”), certain entities were removed from the debt guarantor structure. The following unaudited condensed financial statements have been presented as if the new debt guarantor structure existed for all periods presented.

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

OVERVIEWResults of Operations 

We operateAs discussed in four segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. 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, personal care and hygiene, durable and non‑durable consumer products, digital inks, electronics, medical, packaging, coatings and construction, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dyes industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy‑based polymer formulations, textile chemicals and dyes. Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $6,155 million and $5,614 million, respectively.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Separation of the P&A Business

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. All of such ordinary shares were sold by Huntsman and Venator did not receive any proceeds from the offering. Venator’s ordinary shares began trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNTR” on August 3, 2017. Huntsman retains approximately 75% ownership in Venator. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the P&A Business as discontinued operations. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations”Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million on our Senior Credit Facilities, of which $106 million was paid on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B,  $347 million was paid on our 2021 Term Loan B, and $754 million was paid on our 2023 Term Loan B. The funds used to pay downstatements, the debt included $732 million receivedresults from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to Huntsman and $475 million from proceeds ofcontinuing operations primarily exclude the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepaymentsresults of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Termination of Huntsman and Clariant Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement which contemplated that Merger Sub would be merged with and into Huntsman, with Huntsman surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariant. On October 26, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Termination Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2017, pursuant to which the parties mutually terminated the Merger Agreement. No fees are currently payable under the terms of the Termination Agreement. Huntsman and Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby.  Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, exceptTextile Effects Business for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18 million, nil and nil, respectively.

Debt Prepayment

In addition to the debt prepayments made in connection with the separation of our former P&A Business and the Venator IPO described above, on October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

OUTLOOK

We expect the following factors to impact our operating segments:

Polyurethanes:

·

Solid MDI demand and margins

·

2018 to benefit from new projects coming on-line

·

Fourth quarter of 2017 a seasonally weaker quarter compared to third quarter of 2017

·

Weak MTBE margins

Performance Products:

·

Continued improvement in profitability in core businesses

·

Fourth quarter of 2017 planned Port Neches EO/EG maintenance with estimated $15 million EBITDA impact

·

Despite planned outage, fourth quarter of 2017 expected to be better than both fourth quarter of 2016 and sequentially

Advanced Materials:

·

Stable aerospace demand and continued growth in specialty products

·

Stronger adjusted EBITDA in fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016

·

Wind market continues to be soft

Textile Effects:

·

Sustainable solutions driving two times GDP volume growth

In 2017, we expect to spend approximately $290 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements.

We expect our fourth quarter adjusted effective tax rate will be similar to our third quarter rate of 24%.  Our 2018 adjusted effective tax rate will be approximately 25% to 28%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Huntsman InternationalOur 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.

NM—Not meaningfulAdjusted EBITDA

 

(1)

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,

61


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; (b) merger costs; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) minority interest of discontinued operations; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt (f) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (g) gain on sale of assets; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (i) plant incident remediation costs; and (j) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs.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) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (e) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (g) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs (credits). 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.

 

EBITDA andWe 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 othersecurities 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. ThereIn 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 ourthe use of these measures because they do not reflectadjusted 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, including the effectsperformance. For example, we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations and interest expense is a necessary element of interest, income taxes, depreciationour costs and amortization.ability to generate revenue. Our management compensates for the limitations of these measuresusing adjusted EBITDA by using them asthis measure to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a supplement tomore complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than U.S. GAAP results.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) loss (income) from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (d) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (e) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (g) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs (credits). 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.

(2)

Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after‑tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses; (b) merger costs; (c) loss from discontinued operations; (d) minority interest of discontinued operations; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (g) gain on sale of assets; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (i) plant incident remediation costs; and (j) 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.

(3)

The income tax impacts, if any, of each adjusting item represent a ratable allocation of the total difference between the unadjusted tax expense and the total adjusted tax expense, computed without consideration of any adjusting items using a with and without approach. 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.

(4)

Capital expenditures, net of reimbursements, represent cash paid for capital expenditures less payments received as reimbursements from customers and joint venture partners. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, capital expenditures from continuing operations of $159 million and $214 million, respectively, were reimbursed in part by $1 million and $28 million, respectively, from joint venture partners.

(5)

Our management uses free cash flow to assess financial performance. Free cash flow is not a defined term under U.S. GAAP, and it should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations and used in investing activities from continuing operations, excluding acquisition/disposition activities and including non-recurring separation costs. Free cash flow is typically derived directly from the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows; however, it may be adjusted for items that affect comparability between periods.

(6)

In addition to income tax impacts, this adjusting item is also impacted by depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense.

income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increasewas $30 million, a decrease of $91$61 million from income of $31 million in net incomethe 2023 period. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman International was $28 million, a decrease of $61 million from income of $33 million in the 2023 period. The decreases noted above were the result of the following items:

 

·

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increasedMarch 31, 2024 decreased by $338$136 million, or 18%8%, as compared with the 20162023 period. The increasedecrease was primarily due to higherlower average selling prices in all our segments, except for our Textile Effects segment, andpartially offset by higher sales volumes in all our segments, except for ourPolyurethanes and Performance Products segment.segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

·

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increasedMarch 31, 2024 decreased by $118$68 million, or 33%25%, as compared with the 20162023 period. The increasedecrease resulted from higherlower gross marginsprofits in all our Polyurethanes and Advanced Materials segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

·

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $21 million, or 10% as compared with the 2016 period, primarily related to an increase in acquisition related expenses and weather related clean up costs.

·

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

As discussed in “Note 4. Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the results from continuing operations for all periods presented exclude the results of the former P&A Business and the results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics business. The increase of $192 million in net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increase of $190 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International was the result of the following items:

·

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $541 million, or 10%, as compared with the 2016 period. The increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices in all our segments, except for our Textile Effects segment, and higher sales volumes in our Textile Effects segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

·

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $133 million,  or 11%, as compared with the 2016 period. The increase resulted from higher gross margins in our Polyurethanes segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

·

Our operating expenses and the operating expenses of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $13 million, and $12 million, respectively, or 2% each, as compared with the 2016 period, primarily related to increased weather related clean up costs.

·

Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to $13 million from $56 million in the 2016 period. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see “Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Polyurethanes 

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs and continued strong market conditions. MTBE average selling prices increased primarily as a result of higher pricing for high octane gasoline. MDI and MTBE sales volumes decreased due to the impact of maintenance and hurricane related production outages during the second and third quarters of 2017. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins, partially offset by lower MTBE margins.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to lower sales volumes principally because of the sale of the European surfactants business to Innospec Inc. on December 30, 2016, partially offset by higher sales volumes in our remaining businesses as well as higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and favorable product mix effect partially from the sale of the European surfactants business. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes in our remaining businesses and lower fixed costs.

Advanced Materials

The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was primarily due to higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs. Sales volumes remained relatively unchanged as strong growth in our European and Asian region, mainly in the wind market and certain higher value businesses, was almost entirely offset by reduced volumes in our Americas region, primarily due to our withdrawal from certain low margin businesses. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was due to lower margins resulting from higher raw material costs and higher fixed costs.

Textile Effects 

The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased in both textile chemicals and dyes, particularly in our Asia region. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive market conditions. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and lower fixed costs.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $108 million and $(379) million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had net borrowings from (repayments against) our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and our A/R Programs of $191 million and $(220) million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, HPS paid $14approximately $28 million against the note payable with SLIC for the acquisition of a business duringassets. See “Note 3.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $404 million and $523 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net repayments of our revolving loan facility and net repayments of long‑term debt during the 2017 period as compared with the 2016 period and proceeds from the IPO of our former P&A Business.

Free cash flow from continuing operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 and 2016 were2023 was a use of cash proceeds of $404$105 million and $523$168 million, respectively. The improvementincrease in free cash flow from continuing operations was primarily attributable to the changesa decrease in cash flows fromused in operating and investing activities from continuing operations excluding merger and acquisition activities.a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared with the same period of 2023.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITYLiquidity

 

We depend upon our cash, Seniorour 2022 Revolving Credit Facilities,Facility, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we had $1,211$1,607 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $451$552 million in cash, and restricted cash, $642$995 million in availability under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and $118$60 million in availability under our A/R Programs. Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters had, or are expected to have a significant impact on our liquidity:

 

Short-Term Liquidity

·During 2024, we expect to spend approximately $200 million on capital expenditures. Our future expenditures include certain environmental, health and safety upgrades; expansions and upgrades of our existing manufacturing and other facilities; construction of new facilities; certain cost reduction projects, including those described below; and certain information technology expenditures. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash provided by operations. 

Cash investedDuring the remainder of 2024, we expect to make additional contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans of approximately $23 million.

On January 31, 2024, we completed the planned separation and acquisition of assets of SLIC, our joint venture with BASF and three Chinese chemical companies. The final purchase price of the acquired assets will be determined based on an asset valuation, which we currently expect to be completed in the first half of 2024. The acquisition of the assets was funded in part with HPS issuing a U.S. dollar equivalent note payable at closing of approximately $218 million, as adjusted to reflect the preliminary valuation and is subject to further change pending the final valuation. As of March 31, 2024, the note payable has been reduced by approximately $28 million to reflect cash payments made during the quarter. We expect that the remainder of the note payable will be paid by the end of 2024 using available funds at HPS. Upon liquidation of the joint venture, all remaining cash of SLIC, primarily resulting from the proceeds received by SLIC, will be distributed back to the joint venture partners. We currently anticipate that the liquidation will be completed by mid-2025.

On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma, and during the first quarter of 2024, we finalized the purchase price valued at $597 million, which includes adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. During the first quarter of 2024, we have paid cash taxes of approximately $1 million, and we expect to pay additional cash taxes of approximately $11 million. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During 2020 and 2021, management implemented cost realignment and synergy plans and, in November 2022, committed to further plans to realign our cost structure with additional restructuring in Europe, including exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with these plans, we have achieved combined annualized cost savings and synergy benefits in excess of $280 million. Associated with these plans, we expect total cash costs of approximately $293 million (including approximately $56 million of capital expenditures) through 2025, of which we have spent approximately $255 million through the first quarter of 2024 (including approximately $39 million of capital expenditures). Of the remaining cash costs, the majority will be payments related to our restructuring in Europe, primarily for personnel who have exited as of the end of 2023 as well as capital expenditures related to our research and development footprint, which is included in our accounts receivableoverall future capital expenditures projections.

As of March 31, 2024, we have approximately $547 million remaining under the authorization of our existing share repurchase program. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.

Long-Term Liquidity

On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.

On April 19, 2024, the Louisiana Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed the $93.1 million jury verdict and inventory,district court judgment in our favor 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 maintain properly its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gases needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After adding mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest to the award, we expect damages to exceed $135 million before deducting for taxes and legal contingency fees. The award remains subject to further potential review but, if affirmed or reviewed by the Louisiana Supreme Court, wewould expect to receive net proceeds of accounts payable, decreased by approximately $171$50 million forto $60 million. We have not yet recognized the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as reflectedaward in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue.

·

During 2017, we expect to spend approximately $290 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements. Our future expenditures include certain EHS maintenance and upgrades and periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities. We expect to fund this spending with cash provided by operations.

·

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans related to continuing operations of $80 million. During the remainder of 2017, we expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately $17 million to these plans.

·

We are involved in a number of cost reduction programs for which we have established restructuring accruals. As of September 30, 2017, we had $59 million of accrued restructuring costs from continuing operations, of which $19 million is classified as current. For further discussion of these plans and the costs involved, see “Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 27, 2017, we announced the mutual termination of the Merger Agreement with Clariant. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we have incurred $18 million of merger related costs. We estimate that we will have incurred approximately $30 million in merger-related costs through termination.  For more information regarding the merger, see “Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Termination of Huntsman and Clariant Merger Agreement” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

·

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received a cash benefit of approximately $90 million related to overpayments of prior year tax payments.

·

On October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt —A/R Programs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

·

We  are planning to monetize our investment in Venator and expect to use the net proceeds to first repay indebtedness, and thereafter for other corporate purposes.

 

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we had $29$396 million classified as current portion of debt, including scheduled Senior$195 million outstanding under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facilities amortization payments totaling $1Facility, an outstanding U.S. dollar equivalent note payable of approximately $190 million related to the separation and acquisition of assets of the SLIC joint venture, debt at our variable interest entities of $20$9 million and certain other short‑termshort-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $8$2 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, weWe intend to renew, repay or extend the majority of these short‑termshort-term facilities in the next twelve months.

 

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, we had approximately $388$529 million of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. Additionally,With the exception of certain amounts that we have material intercompany debt obligations owedexpect to us by our non‑U.S. subsidiaries. Werepatriate in the foreseeable future, we intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations or tooperations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate additional cash as repaymentsdividends, and the repatriation of intercompany debt. If foreign cash was repatriated as a dividend instead of repayment of intercompany debt, the dividend couldwould generally not be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes without any offsetting foreign tax credit relief. At present, we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash in our U.S. operations, together with the payments of intercompany debt, to meet our cash needs in the U.S and we do not expect to repatriate cash to the U.S. as a dividend. Cash held by certain foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities,taxation. However, such repatriation may alsopotentially be subject to legal restrictions, including those arising from the interests of our partners, which could limit the amounts available for repatriation.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Venator is commissioning a new production facility in Augusta, Georgia for the synthesis of iron oxide pigments, which was purchased from Rockwood. During commissioning, the facility has experienced delays producing products at the expected specifications and quantities, raising questions regarding the capabilities of the Augusta technology. Based on the facility’s performance during the commissioning process, it was concluded that production capacity at Venator’s Augusta facility will be substantially lower than originally anticipated. On February 6, 2017, Huntsman filed a lawsuit against Rockwood, Albemarle Corporation (as Rockwood’s successor) and certain former Rockwood executives to recover damage for fraud and breach of contract involving the Augusta technology. Venator is not party to the suit.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded as an unrealized currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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 September 30, 2017, we had approximately $81 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

Huntsman International had entered into several interest rate contracts to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). These swaps expired in April 2017.

Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See “Note 5. Variable Interest Entities”9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The notional amount of the

73


swap as of September 30, 2017 was $16 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the swap was $1 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil due to changes in fair value of the swap.

In November 2014, we entered into two five year cross-currency interest rate contracts and one eight year cross-currency interest rate contract to swap an aggregate notional $200 million for an aggregate notional €161 million. This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. Under the cross-currency interest rate contract, we will receive fixed U.S. dollar payments of $5 million semiannually on May 15 and November 15 (equivalent to an annual rate of 5.125%) and make interest payments of approximately €3 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 3.6%). In August 2017, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $7 million from the counterparties.

A portion of our debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2017, we have designated approximately €505 million (approximately $592 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $85 million and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e)13a-15(e) and 15d‑15(e)15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f)13a-15(f) and 15d‑15(f)15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). However, we can only give reasonable assurance that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Ineffective internal controls over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.
