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 and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, net; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses (income), net; (d) gain on sale of business/assets, net; (e) expenses associated with the proposed merger; (f) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (g) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (h) 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.

Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation: (a) loss (income) from discontinued operations; (b) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses (income), net; (c) gain on sale of business/assets, net; (d) expenses associated with the proposed merger; (e) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (f) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs; (g) (release) establishment of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances, net; (h) business acquisition and integration gain and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, net; and (i) loss on early extinguishment of debt. 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.
