QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10‑Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD

ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

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; 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.

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant Ltd, a Swiss corporation, (“Clariant”), and HurricaneCyclone Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Clariant (“Merger Sub”, collectively, the “Parties”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) which contemplated that Merger Sub would be merged with and into Huntsman, with Huntsman surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariant. On October 26, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into a Termination Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2017 (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties mutually terminated the Merger Agreement. No fees are currently payable under the terms of the Termination Agreement. Huntsman and Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18 million, nil and nil, respectively.

All forward‑looking statements, including without limitation 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 result or 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, 2016.

HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

For convenience in this report, the terms “Company,” “Huntsman,” “our,” “us” or “we” may be used to refer to Huntsman Corporation and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries and predecessors. In this report, “Huntsman International” refers to Huntsman International LLC (our wholly owned subsidiary).

In this report, we may use, without definition, the common names of competitors or other industry participants. We may also use the common names or abbreviations for certain chemicals or products.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and Huntsman International’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) and in management’s opinion reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for our Company and Huntsman International.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products. 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, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, digital inks, electronics, medical, packaging, coatings and construction, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dyes industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals and dyes.

We operate in four segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. In August 2017, we separated our Titanium Dioxide and Performance Additives business (the “P&A Business”) through an initial public offering (“IPO”) of ordinary shares of Venator Materials PLC (“Venator”), formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Separation”). Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of the former P&A Business as discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.” In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shut down substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We also report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations.

COMPANY

Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small packaging company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

Currently, we operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

Table of Contents

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the condensed consolidated financial statements for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International’s financial statements relate primarily to the following:

purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the 2003 step‑acquisition of Huntsman International Holdings LLC, the former parent company of Huntsman International that was merged into Huntsman International in 2005;

the different capital structures; and

a note payable from Huntsman International to us.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly‑owned and majority‑owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications were to record the assets and liabilities as held for sale and results of operations of the former P&A Business to discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.” In connection with the separation of the P&A Business, certain entities were removed from the debt guarantor structure. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information included in “Note 19. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Huntsman International LLC” has been presented as if the new debt guarantor structure existed for all periods presented.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Separation of the P&A Business

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. All of such ordinary shares were sold by Huntsman and Venator did not receive any proceeds from the offering. Venator’s ordinary shares began trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNTR” on August 3, 2017. Huntsman retains approximately 75% ownership in Venator. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the P&A Business as discontinued operations. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.”

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million on our senior credit facilities (“Senior Credit Facilities”), of which $106 million was paid on our extended term loan B facility due 2015 (“2015 Extended Term Loan B”), $347 million was paid on our term loan B facility due 2021 (“2021 Term Loan B”), and $754 million was paid on our term loan B facility due 2023 (“2023 Term Loan B”). The funds used to pay down the debt included $732 million received from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to Huntsman and $475 million from proceeds of the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepayments of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities.”

Termination of Huntsman and Clariant Merger Agreement

Table of Contents

Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18 million, nil and nil, respectively.

Debt Prepayment

In addition to the debt prepayments made in connection with the separation of our former P&A Business and the Venator IPO described above, on October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities.”

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2017

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method, but rather does apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in first-out or average cost. An entity should measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and the initial adoption of the amendment in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share‑Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU simplify several aspects of the accounting for share‑based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017, and the initial adoption of the amendment in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, which eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2017 and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption in Future Periods

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, deferring the effective date of ASU No. 2014‑09 for all entities by one year. Further, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), clarifying the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract and determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time), in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Customers (Topic 606): Narrow‑Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, providing clarifications and practical expedients for certain narrow aspects in Topic 606, and in December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments in ASU No. 2014‑09, ASU No. 2016‑08, ASU No. 2016‑10, ASU No. 2016‑12 and ASU No. 2016‑20 should be applied retrospectively, and early application is permitted. We are substantially complete with our analysis to identify areas that will be impacted by the adoption of the amendments in ASU No. 2014‑09, ASU No. 2016‑08, ASU No. 2016‑10, ASU No. 2016‑12 and ASU No. 2016‑20 on our condensed consolidated financial statements. At this time, other than additional required disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of the amendments in these ASUs to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard will be adopted in our fiscal year 2018, and we have elected the modified retrospective approach as the transition method.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU will increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU will require lessees to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted for all entities. Reporting entities are required to recognize and measure leases under these amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements and believe, based on our preliminary assessment, that we will record significant additional right-to-use assets and lease obligations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU clarify and include specific guidance to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The amendments in this ASU require entities to recognize the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, as opposed to deferring the recognition of the income tax consequences until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning‑of‑period and end‑of‑period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments in this ASU require that an employer report the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the same line items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations. The amendments in this ASU also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in assets. The amendments in this ASU will impact the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our current presentation of service cost components is consistent with the amendments in this ASU. Upon adoption of the amendments in this ASU, we expect to present the other components within other nonoperating income, whereas we currently present these within cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships as well as the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements to increase the understandability of the results of an entity’s intended hedging strategies. The amendments in this ASU also include certain targeted improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in any interim period after the issuance of this ASU. Transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness, and the amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using LIFO, first-in first-out, and average cost methods for different components of inventory. Inventories consisted of the following (dollars in millions):


	September 30,		December 31,
	2017		2016
Raw materials and supplies	$	218	$	157
Work in progress		54		45
Finished goods		867		771
Total		1,139		973
LIFO reserves		(55)		(55)
Net inventories	$	1,084	$	918

For both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately 13% of inventories were recorded using the LIFO cost method.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and conducted an IPO of ordinary shares of Venator, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. Following the IPO, we retained approximately 75% ownership in Venator. We intend to monetize our retained ownership in Venator at prevailing market conditions and expect to implement multiple follow-on capital market or block transactions to permit the orderly distribution of our retained shares.

In August 2017, we entered into a separation agreement, a transition services agreement (“TSA”) and a registration rights agreement with Venator to effect the Separation and provide a framework for a short term set of transition services as well as a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. Pursuant to the TSA, we will, for a limited time following the Separation, provide Venator with certain services and functions that the parties have historically shared, including administrative, payroll, human resources, data processing, environmental, health and safety, financial audit support, financial transaction support, marketing support, information technology systems and various other corporate and support services. We may also provide Venator with additional services that Venator and Huntsman may identify from time to time in the future. In general, the services began following the Separation and cover a period not expected to exceed 24 months; however, Venator may terminate individual services provided by us under the TSA early, as it becomes able to operate its business without such services.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

Rubicon LLC is our 50%-owned joint venture with Chemtura that manufactures products for our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments. The structure of the joint venture is such that the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint venture to finance its activities without additional financial support. By virtue of the operating agreement with this joint venture, we purchase a majority of the output, absorb a majority of the operating costs and provide a majority of the additional funding.

Arabian Amines Company is our 50%-owned joint venture with Zamil group that manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. As required in the operating agreement governing this joint

Table of Contents

venture, we purchase all of Arabian Amines Company’s production and sell it to our customers. Substantially all of the joint venture’s activities are conducted on our behalf.

Sasol‑Huntsman is our 50%-owned joint venture with Sasol that owns and operates a maleic anhydride facility in Moers, Germany. This joint venture manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. The joint venture uses our technology and expertise, and we bear a disproportionate amount of risk of loss due to a related‑party loan to Sasol‑Huntsman for which we bear the default risk.

Creditors of these entities have no recourse to our general credit. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt.” As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities at September 30, 2017, the joint ventures’ assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of our variable interest entities’ assets and liabilities included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 (dollars in millions):

2017 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In September 2011, we implemented a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland (the “2011 Textile Effects Restructuring”). In connection with this restructuring plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring expense of approximately $4 million associated with this initiative. We expect to receive an income of upfront installment payment from the sale of property at the Basel, Switzerland site of approximately $5 million through the end of 2017 to cover our large portion of contract settlement payments.

During the first quarter of 2017, we implemented the first phase of a restructuring program to improve competitiveness in our Textile Effects segment. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related primarily to workforce reductions. We expect to incur additional charges of approximately $2 million through the end 2017.

2016 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

In December 2015, our Performance Products segment announced plans for a reorganization of its commercial and technical functions and a refocused divisional business strategy to better position the segment for growth in coming years. In addition, a program was launched to capture growth opportunities, improve manufacturing cost efficiency and reduce inventories. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $16 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In connection with the 2011 Textile Effects Restructuring, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $8 million for non‑cancelable long‑term contract termination costs and $28 million for decommissioning associated with this initiative.

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

Huntsman Corporation’s direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of a guarantee of certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International). Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

Certain of our subsidiaries are designated as nonguarantor subsidiaries (“Nonguarantors”) and have third‑party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Table of Contents

Debt Issuance Costs

We record debt issuance costs related to a debt liability on the balance sheet as a reduction in the face amount of that debt liability. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of debt issuance costs directly reducing the debt liability was $25 million and $57 million, respectively. We record the amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense.

Senior Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2017, our Senior Credit Facilities consisted of our revolving facility (“Revolving Facility”) and our 2023 Term Loan B as follows (dollars in millions):


						Unamortized
						Discounts and
	Committed		Principal			Debt Issuance			Carrying
Facility	Amount		Outstanding			Costs			Value			Interest Rate(3)	Maturity
Revolving Facility	$	650	$	—	(1)	$	—	(1)	$	—	(1)	USD LIBOR plus 2.50%	2021
2023 Term Loan B		N/A		611			(19)			592		USD LIBOR plus 3.00%(2)	2023

(1)

We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $8 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(2)

The 2023 Term Loan B is subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor.

(3)

The applicable interest rate of the Revolving Facility is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of September 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balances under the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 4%.

Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment (other than property, plant and equipment held by Venator and its subsidiaries), the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries (other than Venator and its subsidiaries) and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

On October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. In connection with the $100 million prepayment of our term loan, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3 million. In addition, on both April 25, 2017 and July 26, 2017, we made early prepayments of $100 million each on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B from existing cash.

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million ($450 million of which constituted a mandatory repayment as described in the seventeenth amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities) on our Senior Credit Facilities, of which $106 million was paid on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, $347 million was paid on our 2021 Term Loan B, and $754 million was paid on our 2023 Term Loan B. The funds used to pay down the debt included $732 million received from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to Huntsman and $475 million from proceeds of the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepayments of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million.

In connection with the Separation, Venator raised $750 million of new financing, which included (i) $375 million of senior unsecured notes and (ii) $375 million under a new senior secured term loan facility. In addition, Venator entered into a new undrawn asset-based revolving lending facility in aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. The Venator senior unsecured notes are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by Venator and certain Venator subsidiaries. The Venator senior credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by Venator and certain of its subsidiaries. At Separation, the Venator debt facilities were recorded within current liabilities of discontinued operations. Huntsman Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than Venator and its subsidiaries) do not provide any direct or indirect guarantee for the Venator debt obligations described above and they are non recourse to Huntsman Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

Seventeenth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On June 15, 2017, Huntsman International entered into a seventeenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities. The amendment permitted us to complete the Separation.

In connection with the Separation, the amendment permitted the incurrence of certain indebtedness of Venator and the internal restructuring of the P&A Business assets. With the completion of the Separation, Venator and its subsidiaries were designated as unrestricted subsidiaries.

A/R Programs

Our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program (“U.S. A/R Program”) and our European accounts receivable securitization program (“EU A/R Program” and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, “A/R Programs”) are structured so that we transfer certain of our trade receivables to the U.S. special purpose entity (“U.S. SPE”) and the European special purpose entity (“EU SPE”) in transactions intended to be true sales or true contributions. The receivables collateralize debt incurred by the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE. Information regarding our A/R Programs as of September 30, 2017 was as follows (monetary amounts in millions):


		Maximum Funding		Amount
Facility	Maturity	Availability(1)		Outstanding			Interest Rate(2)
U.S. A/R Program	April 2020	$	250	$	90	(3)	Applicable rate plus 0.95%
EU A/R Program	April 2020	€	150	€	80		Applicable rate plus 1.30%
			(approximately $176)		(approximately $94)

(1)

The amount of actual availability under our A/R Programs may be lower based on the level of eligible receivables sold, changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred, as defined in the applicable agreements.

(2)

The applicable rate for our U.S. A/R Program is defined by the lender as either USD LIBOR or CP rate. The applicable rate for our EU A/R Program is either GBP LIBOR, USD LIBOR or EURIBOR. In addition, the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE are obligated to pay unused commitment fees to the lenders based on the amount of each lender’s commitment.

(3)

As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $7 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

On April 21, 2017, we entered into amendments to our A/R Programs that, among other things, extend the scheduled termination dates to April 2020. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $369 million and $328 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs from continuing operations.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

As of September 30, 2017, we had a loan of $817 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the “Intercompany Note”). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of September 30, 2017 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2017, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Program, less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes.

Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate

Table of Contents

waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the “Leverage Covenant”), which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is calculated at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant, which requires that Huntsman International’s ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs’ metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded as an unrealized currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

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, 2017, we had approximately $81 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

Table of Contents

Huntsman International had entered into several interest rate contracts to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). These swaps expired in April 2017.

Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See “Note 5. Variable Interest Entities.” The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2017 was $16 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the swap was $1 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil due to changes in fair value of the swap.

In November 2014, we entered into two five year cross-currency interest rate contracts and one eight year cross-currency interest rate contract to swap an aggregate notional $200 million for an aggregate notional €161 million. This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. Under the cross-currency interest rate contract, we will receive fixed U.S. dollar payments of $5 million semiannually on May 15 and November 15 (equivalent to an annual rate of 5.125%) and make interest payments of approximately €3 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 3.6%). In August 2017, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $7 million from the counterparties.

A portion of our debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2017, we have designated approximately €505 million (approximately $592 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $85 million and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

9. FAIR VALUE

The fair values of financial instruments were as follows (dollars in millions):


	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Non-qualified employee benefit plan investments	$	30	$	30	$	27	$	27
Investments in equity securities		3		3		18		18
Cross-currency interest rate contracts		—		—		29		29
Interest rate contracts		(1)		(1)		(2)		(2)
Long-term debt (including current portion)		(2,874)		(3,098)		(4,172)		(4,345)

The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments and investments in equity securities are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1).

Table of Contents

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The estimated fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2017 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in millions):

The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates, exchange rates, and yield curves at stated intervals. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine the fair value during the current period.

In November 2014, we entered into two five year cross-currency interest rate contracts and one eight year cross-currency interest rate contract. These instruments had been categorized by us as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs associated with the credit valuation adjustment, which we deemed to be significant inputs to the overall measurement of fair value at inception. In August 2017, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $7 million in payments from the counterparties.

We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non‑recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded charges of nil for the impairment of long‑lived assets.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS

Product Delivery Claim

We have been notified by a customer of potential claims related to our alleged delivery of a different product than the one the customer had ordered. Our customer claims that it was unaware that the different product had been delivered until after that product had been used to manufacture materials which were subsequently sold. Originally, the customer stated that it had been notified of claims by its customers of up to an aggregate of €153 million (approximately $179 million) relating to this matter and claimed that we may be responsible for all or a portion of these potential claims. Our customer has since resolved some of these claims and the aggregate amount of the current claims is now approximately €113 million (approximately $132 million). Based on the facts currently available, we believe that we are insured for any liability we may ultimately have in excess of $10 million. However, no assurance can be given regarding our ultimate liability or costs. We believe our range of possible loss in this matter is between €0 and €113 million (approximately $132 million), and we have made no accrual with respect to this matter.

Indemnification Matters

On July 3, 2012, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“the Banks”) demanded that we indemnify them for claims brought against them by certain MatlinPatterson entities that were formerly our stockholders (“MatlinPatterson”) in litigation filed by MatlinPatterson on June 19, 2012 in the 9th District Court in Montgomery County, Texas (the “Texas Litigation”). We denied the Banks’ indemnification demand for the Texas Litigation. These claims allegedly arose from the failed acquisition by and merger with Hexion. The Texas Litigation was dismissed, which was upheld by the Ninth Court of Appeals and the Texas Supreme Court denied review by final order entered January 7, 2016.

On July 14, 2014, the Banks demanded that we indemnify them for additional claims brought against them by certain other former Company stockholders in litigation filed June 14, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (the “Wisconsin Litigation”). We denied the Banks’ indemnification demand for the Wisconsin Litigation and have made no accrual with respect to this matter. The stockholders in the Wisconsin Litigation have made essentially the same factual allegations as MatlinPatterson made in the Texas Litigation and, additionally, have named Apollo Global Management LLC and Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. as defendants. Stockholder

plaintiffs in the Wisconsin Litigation assert claims for misrepresentation and conspiracy to defraud. On June 30, 2016, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the Apollo defendants and on December 5, 2016, the court dismissed Deutsche Bank for lack of personal jurisdiction, but denied Credit Suisse's motion to dismiss. Subsequently, Credit Suisse asked the court to reconsider its decision or certify its judgment to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals for an immediate appeal, which remains pending. Subsequent to discovery, Credit Suisse filed a motion for summary judgment on August 25, 2017, which also remains pending.

Other Proceedings

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.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHS 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, 2017 and 2016, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $23 million and $33 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 $22 million for environmental liabilities for both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Of these amounts, $4 million and $7 million were classified as accrued liabilities in each of our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and $18 million and $15 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 six 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

Table of Contents

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 Port Neches, Texas, and Geismar, Louisiana, facilities are 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.

West Footscray Remediation

By letter dated March 7, 2006, our former Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia was issued a cleanup notice by the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria ("EPA Victoria") due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the site. On August 23, 2010, EPA Victoria revoked a second cleanup notice and issued a revised notice that included a requirement for financial assurance for the remediation. As of September 30, 2017, we had an accrued liability of approximately $15 million related to estimated environmental remediation costs at this site. We can provide no assurance that the authority will not seek to institute additional requirements for the site or that additional costs will not be required for the cleanup.

North Maybe 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.

15. STOCK‑BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

On May 5, 2016, our stockholders approved a new Huntsman Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Stock Incentive Plan”), which reserved 8.2 million shares for issuance. The Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Prior Plan”), remains in effect for outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Prior Plan, but no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plan. Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants under both the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan are fixed at the grant date. In connection with the Separation, certain individuals who were granted awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan terminated from Huntsman and are now affiliated with Venator. The unvested awards previously granted to these individuals were converted to awards under Venator’s stock incentive plan during August 2017. As of September 30, 2017, we were authorized to grant up to 8.2 million shares under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately 8 million shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan 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.

In connection with the Separation, certain individuals who were granted awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan were transferred to Venator. The unvested awards under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan previously granted to these individuals were converted to awards under Venator’s stock incentive plan during August 2017.

Table of Contents

The compensation cost from continuing operations under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan for our Company and Huntsman International were as follows (dollars in millions):


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	ended				ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Huntsman Corporation compensation cost	$	8	$	7	$	25	$	23
Huntsman International compensation cost		8		7		24		22

The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for us and Huntsman International for stock-based compensation arrangements was $6 million and $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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.


	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	ended					ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2017		2016			2017			2016
Dividend yield		NA		3.3	%		2.4	%		5.6	%
Expected volatility		NA		57.6	%		56.9	%		57.9	%
Risk-free interest rate		NA		1.1	%		2.0	%		1.4	%
Expected life of stock options granted during the period		NA		5.9	years		5.9	years		5.9	years

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, no stock options were granted.

A summary of stock option activity under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan as of September 30, 2017 and changes during the nine months then ended is presented below:


					Weighted
			Weighted		Average
			Average		Remaining		Aggregate
			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic
Option Awards	Shares		Price		Term		Value
	(in thousands)				(years)		(in millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2017		11,245	$	13.37
Granted		997		21.04
Exercised		(2,118)		17.59
Forfeited		(59)		17.39

Outstanding at September 30, 2017		9,648		13.17		5.7	$	137
Exercisable at September 30, 2017		6,822		12.88		4.6		99

The weighted‑average grant‑date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $9.26 per option. As of September 30, 2017, there was $11 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $11 million and nil, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during the nine months

Table of Contents

ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $22 million and nil, respectively. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $3 million and nil, respectively.

NONVESTED SHARES

Nonvested shares granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan 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 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, 2017 and 2016, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 45.0% and 39.3%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.5% and 0.9%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a three-year performance period. 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.

A summary of the status of our nonvested shares as of September 30, 2017 and changes during the nine months then ended is presented below:


	Equity Awards					Liability Awards
				Weighted				Weighted
				Average				Average
				Grant- Date				Grant-Date

As of September 30, 2017, a total of 460,750 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 25,704 vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

As of September 30, 2017, there was $32 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted‑average period of approximately 1.9 years. The value of share awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $20 million and $15 million, respectively.

16. 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.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we released a valuation allowance of $7 million on certain net deferred assets of our Polyurethanes business in Italy. On March 1, 2017 and April 1, 2017, we demerged the Italian legal entities containing our Polyurethanes business from our combined Italian tax group. The historical and expected continued profitability of that Polyurethanes business resulted in the release of the associated valuation allowance. During the same period, we also released a valuation allowance of $13 million on certain deferred tax assets in Luxembourg as a result of changes in estimated future taxable income resulting from increased intercompany receivables and, therefore, increased income in Luxembourg, our primary treasury center outside of the U.S.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding income tax expense of $7 million and $3 million, respectively. Additional increases and decreases in unrecognized tax benefits were offset by cash settlements or decreases in net deferred tax assets and, therefore, did not affect income tax expense.

We recorded an additional income tax liability of approximately $45 million related to our tax gain on the Venator IPO proceeds, net of separation costs and IPO expenses.

Huntsman Corporation

We recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $78 million and $65 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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. Our effective tax rate was 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Higher than expected earnings in countries with low tax rates or valuation allowances, and the release of certain valuation allowances in Italy and Luxenbourg, resulted in a lower effective tax rate through the third quarter of 2017.

Huntsman International

Huntsman International recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $77 million and $65 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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. Our effective tax rate was 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Higher than expected earnings in countries with low tax rates and valuation allowances, and the release of certain valuation allowances in Italy and Luxenbourg, resulted in a lower effective tax rate through the third quarter of 2017.

17. NET INCOME PER SHARE

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

Table of Contents

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

Total weighted average shares outstanding, including dilutive shares		244.0		240.1		243.5		239.1

Additional stock‑based awards of 0.9 million and 5.5 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 1.8 million and 5.9 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. However, these stock‑based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 because the effect would be anti‑dilutive.

18. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated and commodity chemical products. We have four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. We have organized our business and derived our operating segments around differences in product lines. In connection with the Venator IPO in August 2017, we separated the P&A Business and, beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the P&A Business as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations.”

The major products of each reportable operating segment are as follows:

Segment		Products
Polyurethanes		MDI, PO, polyols, PG, TPU, aniline and MTBE
Performance Products		amines, surfactants, LAB, maleic anhydride, other performance chemicals, EG, olefins and technology licenses
Advanced Materials		basic liquid and solid epoxy resins; specialty resin compounds; cross‑linking, matting and curing agents; epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane‑based formulations
Textile Effects		textile chemicals, dyes and digital inks

Table of Contents

Sales between segments are generally recognized at external market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a measure of the financial performance of our global business units and for reporting the results of our operating segments. The adjusted EBITDA of operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our Company as a whole. The revenues and adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments are as follows (dollars in millions):

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $6,155 million and $5,614 million, respectively.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Separation of the P&A Business

In August 2017, we made early prepayments of $1,207 million on our Senior Credit Facilities, of which $106 million was paid on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, $347 million was paid on our 2021 Term Loan B, and $754 million was paid on our 2023 Term Loan B. The funds used to pay down the debt included $732 million received from Venator ($750 million of debt raised by Venator net of $18 million of debt issuance costs), upon its payment of intercompany debt obligations owed to Huntsman and $475 million from proceeds of the Venator IPO. In connection with the $1,207 million prepayments of our term loans, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Senior Credit Facilities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Termination of Huntsman and Clariant Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, on May 21, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement which contemplated that Merger Sub would be merged with and into Huntsman, with Huntsman surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariant. On October 26, 2017, Huntsman, Clariant and Merger Sub entered into the Termination Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2017, pursuant to which the parties mutually terminated the Merger Agreement. No fees are currently payable under the terms of the Termination Agreement. Huntsman and Clariant also agreed to release each other from certain claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, each party agrees to bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, except for specified joint filing fees and related expenses as set forth in the Merger Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred merger-related costs of $12 million, $18 million, nil and nil, respectively.

OUTLOOK

We expect the following factors to impact our operating segments:

Polyurethanes:

Solid MDI demand and margins

2018 to benefit from new projects coming on-line

Fourth quarter of 2017 a seasonally weaker quarter compared to third quarter of 2017

Weak MTBE margins

Performance Products:

Continued improvement in profitability in core businesses

Fourth quarter of 2017 planned Port Neches EO/EG maintenance with estimated $15 million EBITDA impact

Despite planned outage, fourth quarter of 2017 expected to be better than both fourth quarter of 2016 and sequentially

Advanced Materials:

Stable aerospace demand and continued growth in specialty products

Stronger adjusted EBITDA in fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016

Wind market continues to be soft

Textile Effects:

Sustainable solutions driving two times GDP volume growth

In 2017, we expect to spend approximately $290 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements.

We expect our fourth quarter adjusted effective tax rate will be similar to our third quarter rate of 24%. Our 2018 adjusted effective tax rate will be approximately 25% to 28%.

(1)

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,

Table of Contents

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; (b) merger costs; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) minority interest of discontinued operations; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt (f) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (g) gain on sale of assets; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (i) plant incident remediation costs; and (j) 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.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. There are material limitations associated with our use of these measures because they do not reflect overall financial performance, including the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management compensates for the limitations of these measures by using them as a supplement to GAAP results.

(2)

Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after‑tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses; (b) merger costs; (c) loss from discontinued operations; (d) minority interest of discontinued operations; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (g) gain on sale of assets; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (i) plant incident remediation costs; and (j) 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.

(3)

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 do not adjust for changes in tax valuation allowances because we do not believe it provides more meaningful information than is provided under GAAP.

(4)

Capital expenditures, net of reimbursements, represent cash paid for capital expenditures less payments received as reimbursements from customers and joint venture partners. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, capital expenditures from continuing operations of $159 million and $214 million, respectively, were reimbursed in part by $1 million and $28 million, respectively, from joint venture partners.

(5)

Our management uses free cash flow to assess financial performance. 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. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations and used in investing activities from continuing operations, excluding acquisition/disposition activities and including non-recurring separation costs. Free cash flow is typically derived directly from the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows; however, it may be adjusted for items that affect comparability between periods.

(6)

In addition to income tax impacts, this adjusting item is also impacted by depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Table of Contents

income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increase of $91 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International was the result of the following items:

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $338 million, or 18%, as compared with the 2016 period. The increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices in all our segments, except for our Textile Effects segment, and higher sales volumes in all our segments, except for our Performance Products segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $118 million, or 33% as compared with the 2016 period. The increase resulted from higher gross margins in our Polyurethanes and Advanced Materials segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $21 million, or 10% as compared with the 2016 period, primarily related to an increase in acquisition related expenses and weather related clean up costs.

Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to $1 million from $38 million in the 2016 period. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see “Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our interest expense and the interest expense of Huntsman International for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $13 million and $11 million, respectively, or 25% and 20%, respectively, as compared with the 2016 period. The decrease was due to the early repayments on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, our 2021 Term Loan B and our 2023 Term Loan B.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt for three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $35 million from $1 million in the 2016 period. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $34 million related to the early repayments on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, our 2021 Term Loan B and our 2023 Term Loan B.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $35 million from $6 million in the 2016 period. The income tax expense of Huntsman International for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $34 million from $7 million in the 2016 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 16. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the former P&A Business as discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to the former P&A Business, the results of operations of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Our income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $63 million from $24 million in the 2016 period. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax of Huntsman International for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $62 million from $22 million in the 2016 period. The increase was primarily due to Venator’s improved margins primarly as a result from higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes in titanium dioxide, offset in part by higher business separation expenses.

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased in response to continued strong market conditions and higher raw material costs. MTBE average selling prices increased primarily as a result of higher pricing for high octane gasoline. MDI sales volumes increased due to increased demand across most major markets. MTBE sales volumes increased due to the timing of shipments in the 2016 period, partially offset by the impact of hurricane related production outages during the third quarter of 2017. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins, partially offset by lower MTBE earnings and the estimated $15 million impact of hurricane related production outages during the third quarter of 2017.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the sale of the European surfactants business to Innospec Inc. on December 30, 2016 as well as the impact of hurricane related production outages in the third quarter of 2017, partially offset by higher sales volumes in our maleic anhydride and amines businesses. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and favorable product mix effect. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the estimated $35 million impact of hurricane related production outages in the third quarter of 2017 and the sale of the European surfactants business at the end of 2016.

Advanced Materials

The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to growth in our specialty electronics and electrical and coatings components businesses, partially offset by our withdrawal from certain low margin business. Average selling prices increased in response to

Table of Contents

higher raw material costs and favorable product mix effect. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher raw material costs.

Textile Effects

The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased in both textile chemicals and dyes, particularly in our Asia region. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive market conditions. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and lower fixed costs, partially offset by lower margins.

Corporate and other

Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign currency exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, nonoperating income and expense and benzene sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, segment adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation increased by $2 million to a loss of $43 million from a loss of $45 million for the same period in 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, segment adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International increased by $2 million to a loss of $41 million from a loss of $43 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from an increase in LIFO inventory valuation income, partially offset by an increase in loss from benzene sales and an increase in unallocated foreign currency exchange loss.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

As discussed in “Note 4. Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the results from continuing operations for all periods presented exclude the results of the former P&A Business and the results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics business. The increase of $192 million in net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increase of $190 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International was the result of the following items:

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $541 million, or 10%, as compared with the 2016 period. The increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices in all our segments, except for our Textile Effects segment, and higher sales volumes in our Textile Effects segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $133 million, or 11%, as compared with the 2016 period. The increase resulted from higher gross margins in our Polyurethanes segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Our operating expenses and the operating expenses of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $13 million, and $12 million, respectively, or 2% each, as compared with the 2016 period, primarily related to increased weather related clean up costs.

Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to $13 million from $56 million in the 2016 period. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see “Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our interest expense and the interest expense of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $19 million and $16 million, respectively, or 12% and 10%, respectively, as compared with the 2016 period. The decrease was due to the early repayments on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, our 2021 Term Loan B and our 2023 Term Loan B.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt for nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $36 million from $3 million in the 2016 period. During the third quarter of 2017, we recorded a loss on early

Table of Contents

extinguishment of debt of $34 million related to the early repayments on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, our 2021 Term Loan B and our 2023 Term Loan B.

Our income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $78 million from $65 million in the 2016 period. The income tax expense of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $77 million from $65 million in the 2016 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 16. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of the former P&A Business as discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to the former P&A Business, the results of operations of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Our income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $101 million from a loss of $12 million in the 2016 period. Income from discontinued operations net of tax of Huntsman International for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $98 million from a loss of $10 million in the 2016 period. The increase was primarily due to Venator’s improved margins primarly as a result from higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes in titanium dioxide, offset in part by higher business separation expenses.

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs and continued strong market conditions. MTBE average selling prices increased primarily as a result of higher pricing for high octane gasoline. MDI and MTBE sales volumes decreased due to the impact of maintenance and hurricane related production outages during the second and third quarters of 2017. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins, partially offset by lower MTBE margins.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to lower sales volumes principally because of the sale of the European surfactants business to Innospec Inc. on December 30, 2016, partially offset by higher sales volumes in our remaining businesses as well as higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and favorable product mix effect partially from the sale of the European surfactants business. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes in our remaining businesses and lower fixed costs.

Advanced Materials

The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was primarily due to higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs. Sales volumes remained relatively unchanged as strong growth in our European and Asian region, mainly in the wind market and certain higher value businesses, was almost entirely offset by reduced volumes in our Americas region, primarily due to our withdrawal from certain low margin businesses. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was due to lower margins resulting from higher raw material costs and higher fixed costs.

Textile Effects

The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period of 2016 was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased in both textile chemicals and dyes, particularly in our Asia region. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive market conditions. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and lower fixed costs.

Table of Contents

Corporate and other

Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign currency exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, nonoperating income and expense and benzene sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, segment adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation decreased by $4 million to a loss of $136 million from a loss of $132 million for the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, segment adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International decreased by $4 million to a loss of $132 million from a loss of $128 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from an increase in loss from benzene sales and an increase in unallocated corporate overhead, partially offset by a decrease in LIFO inventory valuation expense and an increase in unallocated foreign currency exchange gain.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following is a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources and does not include separate information with respect to Huntsman International in accordance with General Instructions H(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10‑Q.

Cash

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $538 million and $736 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period in 2016 was primarily attributable to a $274 million unfavorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the same period of 2016, partially offset by increased operating income as described in “—Results of Operations” above.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $145 million and $213 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid $159 million and $214 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. We received proceeds from the sale of assets of $21 million and paid $14 million for the acquisition of a business during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we received $7 million and nil, respectively, from the termination of cross-currency interest rate contracts.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $404 million and $523 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net repayments of our revolving loan facility and net repayments of long‑term debt during the 2017 period as compared with the 2016 period and proceeds from the IPO of our former P&A Business.

Free cash flow from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were cash proceeds of $404 million and $523 million, respectively. The improvement in free cash flow was attributable to the changes in cash flows from operating and investing activities from continuing operations, excluding merger and acquisition activities.

Our working capital increased by $900 million as a result of the net impact of the following significant changes:

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $55 million resulted from the matters identified on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts and notes receivable increased by $64 million mainly due to higher revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Inventories increased by $166 million primarily due to higher inventory volumes and higher raw material costs.

Accounts payable increased by $101 million primarily due to higher purchases consistent with the higher inventory balances.

Accrued liabilities increased by $66 million primarily due to an increase in income taxes payable. We recorded an additional income tax liability of approximately $45 million related to our tax gain on the Venator IPO proceeds, net of separation costs and IPO expenses.

Current portion of debt decreased by $21 million primarily due to the repayment of amortization payments on our 2015 Extended Term Loan B, our 2021 Term Loan B, and our 2023 Term Loan B.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY

We depend upon our cash, Senior Credit Facilities, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of September 30, 2017, we had $1,211 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $451 million in cash and restricted cash, $642 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $118 million in availability under our A/R Programs. Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on our liquidity:

Cash invested in our accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable, decreased by approximately $171 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue.

During 2017, we expect to spend approximately $290 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements. Our future expenditures include certain EHS maintenance and upgrades and periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities. We expect to fund this spending with cash provided by operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans related to continuing operations of $80 million. During the remainder of 2017, we expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately $17 million to these plans.

We are involved in a number of cost reduction programs for which we have established restructuring accruals. As of September 30, 2017, we had $59 million of accrued restructuring costs from continuing operations, of which $19 million is classified as current. For further discussion of these plans and the costs involved, see “Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The payment of dividends is a business decision made by our Board of Directors from time to time based on our earnings, financial position and prospects, and such other considerations as our Board of Directors considers relevant. Historically, our Board of Directors has declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.125 per share of common stock. While management currently expects that the Company will continue to pay the quarterly cash dividend, its dividend practice may change at any time.

Table of Contents

On October 27, 2017, we announced the mutual termination of the Merger Agreement with Clariant. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 we have incurred $18 million of merger related costs. We estimate that we will have incurred approximately $30 million in merger-related costs through termination. For more information regarding the merger, see “Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Termination of Huntsman and Clariant Merger Agreement” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received a cash benefit of approximately $90 million related to overpayments of prior year tax payments.

On October 25, 2017, we made an early prepayment of $100 million on our 2023 Term Loan B from existing cash. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt —A/R Programs” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are planning to monetize our investment in Venator and expect to use the net proceeds to first repay indebtedness, and thereafter for other corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $29 million classified as current portion of debt, including scheduled Senior Credit Facilities amortization payments totaling $1 million, debt at our variable interest entities of $20 million, and certain other short‑term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $8 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, we intend to renew, repay or extend the majority of these short‑term facilities in the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $388 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. Additionally, we have material intercompany debt obligations owed to us by our non‑U.S. subsidiaries. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations or to repatriate cash as repayments of intercompany debt. If foreign cash was repatriated as a dividend instead of repayment of intercompany debt, the dividend could be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes without any offsetting foreign tax credit relief. At present, we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash in our U.S. operations, together with the payments of intercompany debt, to meet our cash needs in the U.S and we do not expect to repatriate cash to the U.S. as a dividend. Cash held by certain foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities, may also be subject to legal restrictions, including those arising from the interests of our partners, which could limit the amounts available for repatriation.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Venator is commissioning a new production facility in Augusta, Georgia for the synthesis of iron oxide pigments, which was purchased from Rockwood. During commissioning, the facility has experienced delays producing products at the expected specifications and quantities, raising questions regarding the capabilities of the Augusta technology. Based on the facility’s performance during the commissioning process, it was concluded that production capacity at Venator’s Augusta facility will be substantially lower than originally anticipated. On February 6, 2017, Huntsman filed a lawsuit against Rockwood, Albemarle Corporation (as Rockwood’s successor) and certain former Rockwood executives to recover damage for fraud and breach of contract involving the Augusta technology. Venator is not party to the suit.

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

As noted in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016, “Part I. Item 1. Business—Environmental, Health and Safety Matters” and “Part I. Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” we are subject to extensive environmental regulations, which may impose significant additional costs on our operations in the future. While we do not expect any of these enactments or proposals to have a material adverse effect on us in the near term, we cannot predict the longer‑term effect of any of these regulations or proposals on our future financial condition.

Table of Contents

swap as of September 30, 2017 was $16 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the swap was $1 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil due to changes in fair value of the swap.

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, 2017. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, 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, 2017 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.
