Current report

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to lower sales volumes and slightly lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to discontinuing operations at our Moers, Germany maleic anhydride facility. Average selling prices decreased slightly primarily due to softer market conditions, partially offset by favorable mix. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and an unfavorable impact from inventory reductions, partially offset by lower variable direct costs and lower fixed costs.
Removed paragraphs (4)

Previous report

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, gain 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.

Previous report

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressure. Sales volumes increased primarily due to improved demand and volume improvement initiatives across certain markets, including fuel and lubricant additives and coatings and adhesives. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower raw materials costs.

Previous report

Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign currency exchange gains and losses, last-in first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, nonoperating income and expense and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets. Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation remained the same, a loss of $163 million, for 2024 as compared to 2023. Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International remained the same, a loss of $160 million, for 2024 as compared to 2023. The impact on adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from decreases in corporate overhead costs and unallocated foreign currency exchange losses, offset by an increase in LIFO valuation losses.
Reworded paragraphs (15)

Previous wording

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

We believe 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.

Previous wording

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, net; (b) (loss) income from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net and other tax matter adjustments; (d) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (e) costs associated with the Albemarle settlement, net; (f) loss on sale of business/assets; (g) loss on dissolution of subsidiaries; (h) income from transition services arrangements; (i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (k) plant incident remediation credits; (l) establishment of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances; (m) income tax settlement related to U.S. Tax Reform Act; and (n) 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.

Previous wording

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between 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 recorded to offset deferred tax assets unlikely to be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed each period on a tax jurisdiction basis and analyzed to determine 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 cumulative income or losses during the applicable three-year period. Cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period limits our ability to consider other evidence, such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in applicable jurisdictions affect our assessment of the realization of deferred tax assets. Our judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by factors outside of business results, including the costs and risks associated with any tax planning strategy associated with utilizing a deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2024, we had total valuation allowances of $255 million, which represents an increase of $34 million from the prior year, and we have recognized a net deferred tax liability of $135 million. See “Note 19. Income Taxes” to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our deferred tax assets and valuation allowances.
