FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this report contains “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-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; projected impact of COVID-19 on our operations and future financial results; projected impact of the potential expansion of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on our operations and future financial results; 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, or other distributions, strategic opportunities, securities offerings, 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, 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-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-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-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 be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-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-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-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-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Intangible assets acquired included in this preliminary allocation consist primarily of trademarks, technology and trade secrets. The applicable amortization periods are still being assessed. For purposes of this preliminary allocation of fair value, we have assigned any excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated preliminary fair value to goodwill. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to projected future profitable growth in our Advanced Materials specialty portfolio and synergies. We expect that a portion of the estimated goodwill arising from the acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes, but the amount is still being assessed. It is possible that material changes to this preliminary allocation of acquisition cost could occur.

9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

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, 20212022, we had approximately $178$225 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.contracts related to continuing operations.

From time to time, we may purchase interest rate swaps and/or other derivative instruments to reduce the impact of 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, 20212022, we have designated approximately 120175 million (approximately $140$168 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and September 30, 20202021,, the amountamounts recognized on the hedge of our net investment waswere a loss of $29 million and a gain of $7 million and a loss of $31 million, respectively, and were recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.​

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

On April 29, 2022, a New Orleans jury awarded us approximately $94 million 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 properly maintain its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gas needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After the court applies the appropriate amount of interest, we expect that total damages awarded to us will exceed $125 million. The award is subject to appeal, and as such, we have not yet recognized the award in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and the timing of the resolution of this matter is unknown.​ 

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, we 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.

 

 

16. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHSEHS Capital 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 nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, our capital expenditures from continuing operations for EHS matters totaled $25$27 million and $17$21 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 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 $5$4 million and $4$5 million for environmental liabilities as offor September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021, respectively. Of these amounts, $2 million and $1 million werewas classified as accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as offor both September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021, respectively, and $3 million wasand $4 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of bothfor September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021., 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 Matters

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

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties as a condition to our hazardous waste permit. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our Geismar, Louisiana facility is the subject of ongoing remediation requirements imposed under RCRA. Similar laws exist in a number of locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities, such as Australia, India, France, Hungary and Italy.

North Maybe Canyon 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.

17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

As of September 30, 20212022, we had approximately 76 million shares remaining under the stock-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-year period or in total at the end of a three-year period. Certain performance share unit awards vest in total at the end of a two-year period.

 

The compensation cost from continuing operations under the stock-based compensation plans for our Company and Huntsman International were as follows (dollars in millions):

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted average of the assumptions utilized for stock options granted during the periods.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $11.48 per option. As of September 30, 20212022, there was $6approximately $2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.71.1 years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 was approximately $8$12 million and $4$8 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during eachboth of the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 was approximately $6 million and $2 million, respectively.million. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during eachboth of the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 was approximately $2 million and $1 million, respectively.million.

 

Nonvested Shares

Nonvested shares granted under the stock-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.

We grant two types of performance share unit awards. For one type of performance share unit award, 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 nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 44.9%43.5% and 34.0%44.9%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 0.2%1.67% and 1.4%0.2%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted induring the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a three-year performance period.

During the first quarter of 2022, we began issuing a second type of performance award, which also includes a market condition. The performance criteria are our corporate free cash flow achieved relative to targets set by management, modified for the total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the threetwo-year performance periods.period. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 37.9% and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.43%. For the performance share unit awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a two-year performance period.

A total of 110,542193,623 performance share unit awards are reflected in the vested shares in this table, which represents the target number of performance share unit awards for this grant and were included in the balance at December 31, 20202021. During the nine months ended September 30, 20212022, only 76,055an additional 96,814 performance share unit awards with a grant date fair value of $41.93$29.68 were issued related to this vest due to the target performance criteria notbeing met.exceeded.

 

As of September 30, 20212022, there was $36approximately $39 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.01.8 years.

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.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, there was 0no tax benefit or expense recognized in connection with the net losses of $28$9 million and $100$28 million, respectively, on fair value adjustments to our Venator investment and related option to sell our remaining Venator shares recorded as part of non-operating income from continuing operations. As ofThrough December 31, 2019,2021, we have recognized the portion of our Venator investment tax basis in excess of book that we ultimately expect to be able to utilize; therefore, no incremental tax benefit has been recognized on the year-to-date fair value losses incurred in 20202021 or 2021.2022. As a significant, unusual and non-operating item, these amounts were treated discretely and excluded from the annual effective tax rate calculation for interim reporting.​

 

Huntsman Corporation

We recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $114$155 million and $9$101 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively. 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. 

 

Huntsman International

Huntsman International recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $115$156 million and $9$102 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively. 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.

 

 

19. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earningsincome 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 earningsincome per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income attributable 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 dilutive securities.

Basic and diluted earningsincome per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

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

Overview

We operate in fourthree segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials and Textile Effects.Materials. 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, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, insulation, medical, packaging, coatings and construction, power generation, refining and synthetic fiber textile chemicals and dyes industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, maleic anhydride and epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals and dyes.formulations. Our revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $2,011 million and $2,097 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were $6,146$6,373 million and $4,350$5,558 million, respectively.

RecentDevelopments

 

AmendmentsEuropean Restructuring Program

In early November 2022, we announced our commitment and specific plans to Accounts Receivable Securitization Programsfurther realign our cost structure beyond the current in-progress cost optimization programs with additional restructuring in Europe. The new program will include exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with this program, we expect to record restructuring expenses of approximately $50 million through 2023.

Sale of Textile Effects Business 

 

On July 1, 2021,August 9, 2022, we entered into amendmentsa definitive agreement to sell our A/R Programs that, among other things, extendedTextile Effects Business to Archroma for a total enterprise value of $718 million, which includes the scheduled termination datesassumption of approximately $125 million in net underfunded pension liabilities as of December 31, 2021. We anticipate the transaction will close no later than the first half of 2023. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, the results of our A/R Programs from April 2022 to July 2024.Textile Effects Business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Outlook 

 

We expect the following factors to impact our operating segments:

 

Polyurethanes:

 

 

Fourth quarter 20212022 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $200$55 million and $220$85 million

 

Positive trends in construction, though impactedEuropean profitability negatively driven by raw material constraintshigh energy prices and declining demand

 

Americas end markets weaker, particularly in construction

Automotive

Modest increase in automotive market continuessales volumes year-over-year

Lower production rates to be weak

reduce inventory and match lower demand

 

Performance Products:

 

 

Fourth quarter 20212022 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $95$60 million and $100$80 million

 

Commercial initiativesLower sales volumes year-over-year, primarily in Europe and in construction markets

Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to positively impact resultsbe within 20% to 25%

 

Advanced Materials:

 

 

Fourth quarter 20212022 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $47$40 million and $52$45 million

 

Aerospace continues to recoverAutomotive and aerospace markets remain stable

 

Pricing increases to offset raw material cost increasesDemand headwinds in industrial markets

Textile Effects

Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA estimated to be between $20 million and $22 million

Favorable trends in sustainable solutions

Pricing increases to offset raw material cost increases


 

In the third quarter of 2021,2022, both our effective tax rate and our adjusted effective tax rate was 15%were 21%. For 2021,2022, our adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 19% to 20%, which is below our previously expected rate of approximately 22% to 24% due largely to tax benefits for increased export sales and services taxed at a U.S. income tax rate lower than 21%. We continue to expect our forward adjusted effective tax rate will be approximately 22% to 24%. For further information, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Note 18. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Our 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.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

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; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment;investment, net; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related (income) expenses; (f) gaincosts associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (g) loss (gain) on sale of businesses/business/assets; (g)(h) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (h)(i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i)(j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j)(k) plant incident remediation (credits) costs; and (k)(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 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 securities 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. In 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 the use of adjusted 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. For example, we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Our management compensates for the limitations of using adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than U.S. GAAP 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)income from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment;investment, net; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related (income) expenses; (f) costs associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (g) gain on sale of businesses/business/assets; (g)(h) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (h)(i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i)(j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j)(k) plant incident remediation (credits) costs; and (k)(l) 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.

 

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. Starting with the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we updated our definition of free cash flow to a presentation more consistent with today’s market standard of 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.

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 management believeswe believe are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. We do not provide reconciliations for

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was primarily due to lower sales volumes and the negative impact of weaker major international currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher MDI average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand, particularly in our European and construction markets. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes, lower MDI margins in Europe and Asia, the negative impact of weaker major international currencies against the U.S. dollar and lower equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China, partially offset by higher MDI margins in the Americas and lower fixed costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 

As discussed in “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the results from continuing operations exclude the results of our Chemical Intermediates and Businesses and the results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics business for all periods presented. The increase of $542 million in net income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increase of $545 million in net income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman International was the result of the following items:

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $1,796 million, or 41%, as compared with the 2020 period. The increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices as well as higher sales volumes in all our segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $568 million, or 77%, as compared with the 2020 period. The increase resulted from higher gross profits in all our segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Our operating expenses, net and the operating expenses, net of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $32 million and $30 million, respectively, or 5% for both, as compared with the 2020 period, primarily related to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the pretax gain of $28 million recognized in the second quarter of 2021 in connection with the earnout provision achieved under the terms of the sale agreement of the India-based DIY business.

Our interest expense, net and interest expense, net of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased by $11 million and $13 million, respectively, or 17% and 20%, respectively, as compared with the 2020 period, primarily related to the redemption in full of our 2021 Senior Notes in the first half of 2021.

Equity in income of investment in unconsolidated affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to $118 million from $25 million in the 2020 period, primarily related to an increase in income at our PO/MTBE joint venture in China, in which we hold a 49% interest.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a net loss of $28 million in fair value adjustments to our investment in Venator and related option to sell our remaining Venator shares compared with a loss of $100 million in the 2020 period. See “Note 4. Business Dispositions—Sale of Venator Interest” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $27 million compared with nil in the 2020 period, primarily due to the full redemption of our 2022 Senior Notes in the second quarter of 2021. See “Note 8. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Notes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to $114 million from $9 million in the 2020 period. The income tax expense of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to $115 from $9 million in the 2020 period. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to pretax income, exclusive of the fair value adjustments to our investment in Venator, partially offset by approximately $11 million of tax benefits for increased export sales and services taxed at a U.S. income tax rate lower than 21% in the 2021 period. Our income 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. For further information concerning income taxes, see “Note 18. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was largely due to higher MDI average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased mostly in China and Europe with increases in our Americas region during the third quarter of 2021. Sales volumes increased primarily due to stronger demand in relation to the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown, partially offset by some unplanned downtime resulting from the U.S. Gulf Coast Winter Storm Uri that occurred in the first quarter of 2021, the scheduled turnaround at our Rotterdam, Netherlands facility during the second quarter of 2021 and the impact of Hurricane Ida at our Geismar, Louisiana facility that occurred in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins resulting from higher MDI pricing and higher sales volumes as well as stronger earnings from our PO/MTBE joint venture in China, partially offset by higher raw material costs

We depend upon our cash, Revolving Credit Facility, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had $1,955$1,946 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $505$515 million in cash, $1,190$1,189 million in availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and $260$242 million in availability under our A/R Programs. Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters are expected to have a significant impact on our liquidity:

 

Short-Term Liquidity

 

 

Cash invested in our accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable, was approximately $546$301 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue.

 

 

During 2021,2022, we expect to spend approximately $350$280 million on capital expenditures. Our future expenditures including spendinginclude certain environmental, health and safety maintenance and upgrades; periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of approximately $100 million on a new MDI splitter in Geismar, Louisiana.manufacturing facilities; expansions of our existing facilities; certain cost reduction projects; and certain information technology expenditures. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash provided by operations. 

 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, we made contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans related to continuing operations of $45$35 million. During 2021,2022, we expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately $9$10 million to these plans.

 

 On February 7, 2018 and on May 3, 2018, our Board of Directors collectively authorized us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $1 billion in shares of our common stock.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, we repurchased 3,971,78422,853,686 shares of our common stock for approximately $102$752 million, excluding commissions, under theour share repurchase program. From October 1, 2022 through October 25, 2022, we repurchased an additional 1,539,537 shares of our common stock for approximately $40 million, excluding commissions. 

On October 28, 2021, we won an arbitration award in excess of $600 million against Albemarle. On November 4, 2021, Albemarle agreed to waive any appeal and pay $665 million, of which we received $332.5 million on December 2, 2021 and received a final payment of $332.5 million on May 2, 2022. We paid legal fees and cash taxes of approximately $255 million in the second quarter of 2022.

On August 9, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a total enterprise value of $718 million, which includes the assumption of approximately $125 million in net underfunded pension liabilities as of December 31, 2021. We anticipate the transaction will close no later than the first half of 2023.

 

Long-Term Liquidity

 

 On April 28, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a $0.1875 per share cash dividend on our common stock. This represents a 15% increase from the previous dividend. We expect to distribute an additional $5.5 million in dividends each quarter related to this dividend increase.

On May 26, 2021, Huntsman International completed a $400 million offering of its 2031 Senior Notes. On June 23, 2021, Huntsman International applied the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, to redeem in full the $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2022 Senior Notes. For additional information, see “Note 8. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Notes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. 

On July 1, 2021, we entered into amendments to our A/R Programs that, among other things, extended the scheduled termination dates of our A/R Programs from April 2022 to July 2024.

On a new MDI splitter being constructed in Geismar, Louisiana, we expect to spend approximately $50 million in the remainder of 2021 and 2022. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash provided by operations. 

During 2020, management implemented cost realignment and synergy plans. In connection with these plans, we expectremain committed to achieveachieving annualized cost savings and synergy benefits of more than $120approximately $140 million by the end ofduring 2023, as previously communicated. Associated with associatedthese plans, we expect net cash restructuring and integration costs, including capital expenditures, of approximately $115 million, of which we have spent approximately $102 million to date. 

During 2021, management announced additional cost realignment plans. In connection with these plans, we currently expect to achieve annualized cost savings of approximately $100 million by the end of 2023. Associated with these plans, we expect net cash restructuring and integration costs, including capital expenditures, of approximately $135 million through 2024, of which we have spent approximately $25 million to date.

In early November 2022, we announced our commitment and specific plans to further realign our cost structure beyond the current in-progress cost optimization programs with additional restructuring in Europe. The new program will include exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with this program, we expect to record restructuring expenses of approximately $50 million through 2023, and we have identified approximately $40 million of annualized cost savings to be achieved by the end of 2023.

On February 14, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a $0.2125 per share cash dividend on our common stock. This represents a 13% increase from the previous dividend. 

On April 29, 2022, a New Orleans jury awarded us approximately $94 million 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 properly maintain its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gas needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After the court applies the appropriate amount of interest, we expect that total damages awarded to us will exceed $125 million. The award is subject to appeal, and as such, we have not yet recognized the award in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On May 20, 2022, Huntsman International entered into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings will bear interest at the rates specified in the credit agreement governing the 2022 Credit Facility, which will vary based on the type 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 credit 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 certain conditions. In connection with entering into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, Huntsman International terminated all commitments and repaid all obligations under its 2018 $1.2 billion senior unsecured credit facility. See “Note 7. Restructuring, Impairment8. Debt—Direct and Plant Closing Cost”Subsidiary Debt—Revolving Credit Facility” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had $16$12 million classified as current portion of debt, including debt at our variable interest entities of $13$10 million and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $3$2 million. We intend to renew, repay or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the next twelve months.

 

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had approximately $365$462 million of cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends, which dividends would generally not be subject to U.S. taxation as a result of the U.S. Tax Reform Act. However, such repatriation may potentially be subject to certain foreign withholding taxes. ​

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 prices. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures. We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. See “Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021.2022. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2021,2022, 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, 20212022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Except as set forth below, thereThere have been no material developments with respect to the legal proceedings referenced in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

 

Rockwood Litigation

On February 6, 2017, we filed a lawsuit in New York state court against Rockwood Specialties Group, Inc., Rockwood Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Rockwood”), Albemarle Corporation (as Rockwood’s successor) (“Albemarle”) and certain former Rockwood executives to recover damages for fraud and breach of contract in connection with our purchase of Rockwood’s pigments businesses, including its Color Pigments Division, for $1.1 billion in 2014. The case was ordered to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association and, after a two-week trial in May 2021, a panel consisting of three former federal judges awarded us in excess of $600 million for the fraud and breach, inclusive of punitive damages and statutory interest at 9%, of which we expect to net in excess of $400 million after attorney’s fees. The award is subject to confirmation and limited appeal in New York state court, and the arbitration panel directed us to file for reimbursement from Albemarle for attorney’s fees as prevailing party.

Texas Emissions Enforcement

On July 26, 2021, the Attorney General of the State of Texas filed a civil suit in the District Court of Travis County, Texas seeking civil penalties and attorney’s fees for alleged violations of the Texas Clean Air Act, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulations and facility permit terms. The complaint alleged multiple unauthorized emissions events and reporting discrepancies that occurred between December 2016 and June 2019 at our former manufacturing facility in Port Neches, Texas. The state is seeking monetary relief between $250,000 and $1 million. We completed the sale of our former Port Neches, Texas facility to Indorama Ventures Holdings L.P. on January 3, 2020. We believe that we are contractually indemnified for any defense costs and potential liability that may result from this action. 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding risk factors, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. In addition to the risk factors noted in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following risk factor is applicable to us.

The proposed sale of our Textile Effects Business is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, will require significant time and attention of our management and may have an adverse effect on us if not completed.

On August 9, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a total enterprise value of $718 million, which includes the assumption of approximately $125 million in net underfunded pension liabilities as of December 31, 2021. Completion of the proposed sale is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including but not limited to regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that any of such conditions will be satisfied and that the proposed sale will be successfully completed. These or other unanticipated developments could delay or prevent the transaction from closing or cause it to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated, which could cause our common stock to experience negative reactions from the financial markets.

In pursuing the proposed sale, our ongoing businesses may be adversely affected, and we may be subject to certain risks and consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:

• execution of the proposed sale has required, and will continue to require, significant time and attention from management, which may postpone the execution of other initiatives that may have been beneficial to us;

• completion of the proposed sale will require strategic, structural and process realignment and restructuring actions within our operations, which could lead to a disruption of our operations, as well as the loss of, or inability to recruit, key personnel needed to operate and grow our businesses;

• completion of the proposed sale may require certain management and procedural redundancies as we prepare for closing, which may result in operating inefficiencies; and

• whether or not the proposed sale is completed, we may be responsible for certain costs and expenses, such as legal, accounting and other professional fees, which may be significant.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the price of our common stock.​​

On February 7, 2018 and on May 3, 2018,October 26, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $1 billion in shares of our common stock. Theapproved a new share repurchase program isof $1 billion. In conjunction with the inception of this program, we retired our prior share repurchase program. On March 25, 2022, our Board of Directors increased the authorization of our existing share prepurchase program from $1 billion of repurchases to $2 billion. Similar to our prior share repurchase program, the share repurchase program will be supported by our free cash flow generation. Repurchases may be made in the open market, including through accelerated share repurchase programs, or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, we suspended share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program in order to enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19. During the third quarter of 2021,2022, we resumed the share repurchase program and repurchased 3,971,7848,932,915 shares of our common stock for approximately $102$251 million, excluding commissions.
