THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation $(HUN)$ today reported third quarter 2026 results with revenues of $1,717 million, net loss attributable to Huntsman of $18 million, adjusted net income attributable to Huntsman of $7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $132 million.

Peter R. Huntsman, Chairman, President, and CEO, commented:

"Our Company continues to perform solidly despite significant macroeconomic and industry challenges. Year-over-year improvement was driven by higher volumes, stronger margins, and cost savings. Better results and cash flow are expected to reduce net debt leverage to approximately 4 times by year-end, a significant improvement from the beginning of the year. These gains reflect our associates' hard work and disciplined execution to grow volumes, lower costs, and generate cash.

"Our planned merger of equals with Olin Corporation reached several milestones during the quarter, including shareholder approval on August 25, 2026, and regulatory clearance in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States in September. We continue to work with the remaining jurisdictions to secure the approvals needed to complete the merger, which we now expect to close in the first quarter of 2027. We are excited about the benefits the merger will bring to both companies' shareholders."

Segment Analysis for 3Q26 Compared to 3Q25

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased across all three regions due to improved supply and demand dynamics and higher raw materials costs. MDI sales volumes increased in the Americas and Europe regions. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher average selling prices, higher sales volumes, higher equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China and cost savings achieved from our cost optimization program, partially offset by higher raw materials costs.

Performance Products

The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased primarily due to higher raw materials and logistics costs and favorable sales mix. Sales volumes remained relatively unchanged.

Footnotes 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
(1)  We use adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our 
     business and for planning and evaluating the performance of our business 
     segments. We provide adjusted net income (loss) because we feel it 
     provides meaningful insight for the investment community into the 
     performance of our business. We believe that net income (loss) is the 
     performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally 
     accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") that is most directly 
     comparable to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss). Additional 
     information with respect to our use of each of these financial measures 
     follows: 
 
     Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted income 
     (loss) per share, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to other 
     similarly titled measures of other companies. 
 
     Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from net income 
     (loss): (a) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; (b) 
     interest expense, net; (c) income taxes; (d) depreciation and 
     amortization; (e) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial 
     losses; (f) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition 
     costs; and further adjusted for certain other items set forth in the 
     reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA in Table 4 above. 
 
     Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted income (loss) per share 
     are computed by eliminating the after tax impact of the following items 
     from net income (loss): (a) net income attributable to noncontrolling 
     interests; (b) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial 
     losses; (c) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition 
     costs; and further adjusted for certain other items set forth in the 
     reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) in 
     Table 4 above. 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 may disclose forward-looking adjusted EBITDA 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, net, 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 EBITDA represents the forecast net income on our 
     underlying business operations but does not reflect any adjustments 
     related to the items noted above that may occur and can cause our 
     adjusted EBITDA to differ. 
 
(2)  We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as 
     it measures the amount of cash we generate. Management internally uses 
     free cash flow measure to: (a) 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 (used in) 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. 
 
(3)  We believe the adjusted effective tax rate 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. In our view, effective tax rate is the performance measure 
     calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most 
     directly comparable to adjusted effective tax rate. The reconciliation of 
     historical adjusted effective tax rate and effective tax rate is set 
     forth in Table 4 above. Please see the reconciliation of our net income 
     to adjusted net income in Table 4 for details regarding the tax impacts 
     of our non-GAAP adjustments. 
 
(4)  Net debt is a measure we use to monitor how much debt we have after 
     taking into account our total cash. We use it as an indicator of our 
     overall financial position, and calculate it by taking our total debt, 
     including the current portion, and subtracting total cash. 
 
(5)  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the condensed 
     consolidated financial statements to conform to current period 
     presentation.
