Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

Previous report

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower average selling prices. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to less favorable supply and demand dynamics. Sales volumes remained relatively stable as the segment experienced an increase in volumes due to some improved demand and share gains in certain markets, offset by a decrease in volumes due to the scheduled turnaround at our Rotterdam, the Netherlands manufacturing facility during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China, partially offset by lower raw materials costs and cost savings achieved from our cost optimization program.

Sales volumes decreased primarily due to overall soft market conditions as well as lower operating rates at and the closure of our Moers, Germany maleic anhydride facility. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and unfavorable impact from inventory reductions, partially offset by lower variable direct costs.

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 (gain) 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 (income), net; (e) loss on sale of business/assets; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (g) 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.

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 (gain) and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, net; (b) loss 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 (income), net; (e) loss on sale of business/assets; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (g) income tax settlement related to U.S. Tax Reform Act; (h) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs; and (i) establishment of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances. 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 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. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. 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.
