FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other projected financial measures; projected impact of COVID-19 on our operations and future financial results; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions, divestitures, business separations, spin-offs, or other distributions, strategic opportunities, securities offerings, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; general economic and capital markets conditions; the timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates” or “intends” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All forward-looking statements, including without limitation any projections derived from management’s examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by securities and other applicable law.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the risks set forth in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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, 2019 for our Company and Huntsman International.

Description of Businesses

We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products. We operate in four segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products, digital inks, electronics, insulation 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, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals and dyes.

We currently 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.

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, which was repaid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

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

Prior periods have been recasted to record the results of operations of our chemical intermediates businesses, which includes PO/MTBE, and our surfactants businesses (collectively, our “Chemical Intermediates Businesses”) as discontinued operations. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses.”

Recent Developments

Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses

On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama Ventures Holdings L.P. (“Indorama”) in a transaction valued at approximately $2 billion, comprising a cash purchase price of approximately $1.93 billion, which includes estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital, plus the transfer of approximately $72 million in net underfunded pension and other post-employment benefit liabilities. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses.”

Acquisition of Icynene-Lapolla

On February 20, 2020, we completed our acquisition of Icynene-Lapolla, a leading North American manufacturer and distributor of spray polyurethane foam insulation systems for residential and commercial applications (“Icynene-Lapolla Acquisition”). Huntsman acquired the business from an affiliate of FFL Partners, LLC, for $353 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction funded from available liquidity. The acquired business is being integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. See “Note 3. Business Combinations and Acquisitions—Acquisition of Icynene-Lapolla.”

Acquisition of CVC Thermoset Specialties

On March 15, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Emerald Performance Materials LLC, which is majority owned by affiliates of American Securities LLC, to acquire CVC Thermoset Specialties, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer serving the industrial composites, adhesives and coatings markets. CVC Thermoset Specialties operates two manufacturing facilities located in Akron, Ohio and Maple Shade, New Jersey. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to pay $300 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction, which we expect to fund from available liquidity. The transaction is expected to close around midyear of 2020. The acquired business is expected to be integrated into our Advanced Materials segment.

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 2020

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to

17

Table of Contents

inform credit loss estimates. On January 1, 2020, we adopted the amendments in this ASU and the initial adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). On January 1, 2020, we adopted the amendments in this ASU and the initial adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. On March 12, 2020, we adopted the amendments in this ASU and the initial adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption in Future Periods

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this ASU modify certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifying the specific requirements of disclosures and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Icynene-Lapolla

As discussed in “Note 1. GeneralRecent DevelopmentsAcquisition of Icynene-Lapolla,” we completed the Icynene-Lapolla Acquisition on February 20, 2020. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were approximately $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and were recorded in other operating expenses, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

18

Table of Contents

We have accounted for the Icynene-Lapolla Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The acquisition cost allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including final valuation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, leases and deferred taxes. Intangible assets acquired included in this preliminary allocation consist primarily of trademarks, trade secrets and customer relationships. The applicable amortization periods are still being assessed. For purposes of this preliminary allocation of fair value, we have assigned any excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated preliminary fair value to goodwill. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to projected future profitable growth, penetration into downstream markets, and synergies. We expect that none of the estimated goodwill arising from the acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes. It is possible that material changes to this preliminary purchase price allocation could occur.

The acquired business had revenues and net loss of $27 million and $6 million, respectively, for the period from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2020.

If this acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2019, the following estimated pro forma revenues, net income, net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International would have been reported (dollars in millions):

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS

Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses

As discussed in “Note 1. GeneralRecent DevelopmentsSale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses,” we completed the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama. In connection with this sale, we recognized a net after-tax gain of $758 million in the first quarter of 2020. The final purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. During the first quarter of 2020, we received proceeds from the sale of $1.915 billion, and we expect to pay income taxes of approximately $375 million during 2020. Certain amounts for prior periods have similarly been retrospectively reflected for all periods presented. In connection with this sale, we entered into long-term supply agreements with Indorama for certain raw materials at market prices supplied by the Chemical Intermediates Businesses.

The following table reconciles the carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to total assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that are classified as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (dollars in millions):

Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator

In August 2017, we separated our Titanium Dioxide and Performance Additives business (the “P&A Business”) and conducted an initial public offering of ordinary shares of Venator Materials PLC (“Venator”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. Following a series of public offerings and sales of Venator ordinary shares, beginning in December 2018, our ownership in Venator decreased to approximately 49%, and we began accounting for our remaining interest in Venator as an equity method investment using the fair value option. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a loss $110 million and a gain of $75 million, respectively, to record our investment in Venator at fair value. These gains and losses were recorded in “Fair value adjustments to Venator investment” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Summarized financial information of Venator for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in millions):

6. 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 Lanxess that manufactures products for our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments.

Arabian Amines Company is our 50%-owned joint venture with Zamil group that manufactures products for our Performance Products segment.

During the first quarter of 2020, there were no changes in our variable interest entities.

Sasol-Huntsman was our 50%-owned joint venture with Sasol that owned and operated a maleic anhydride facility in Moers, Germany. On September 30, 2019, we acquired the 50% noncontrolling interest that we did not own in Sasol-Huntsman. As such, as of September 30, 2019, Sasol-Huntsman was no longer accounted for as a variable interest entity.

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 March 31, 2020, 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 sheet as of March 31, 2020 and our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 (dollars in millions):

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 have third-party debt agreements that 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.

Debt Issuance Costs

We record debt issuance costs related to a debt liability on the balance sheet as a reduction to the face amount of that debt liability. For both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of debt issuance costs directly reducing the debt liability was $11 million. We record the amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense.

(1)On March 31, 2020, we had an additional $7 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

(2)Interest rates on borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility vary based on the type of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. The then applicable interest rate as of March 31, 2020 was 1.50% above LIBOR.

Term Loan Credit Facility

On September 24, 2019, Huntsman International entered into a 364-day term loan facility (the “2019 Term Loan”), pursuant to which Huntsman International borrowed an aggregate principal amount of €92 million (or $101 million equivalent). We used the net proceeds from the 2019 Term Loan to finance our acquisition of the 50% noncontrolling interest that we did not own in the Sasol-Huntsman maleic anhydride joint venture. Borrowings under the 2019 Term Loan bear interest at an interest rate of EURIBO Rate plus 0.75%, with a EURIBO Rate floor at zero. Unless earlier terminated or prepaid in accordance with the credit agreement governing the 2019 Term Loan, the 2019 Term Loan will mature on September 22, 2020. The 2019 Term Loan is subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

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.

In December 2019, we entered into amendments to our EU A/R program (the “European Amendment”) and our U.S. A/R Program (the “U.S. Amendment”). The European Amendment allowed the removal of pledged obligors related to the Chemical Intermediates Businesses sold to Indorama. The U.S. Amendment allowed the removal of pledged obligors related to the Chemical Intermediates Businesses sold to Indorama as well as reduced the maximum funding capacity from $250 million to $150 million upon completion of the sale on January 3, 2020.

(3)As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $5 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $252 million and $221 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

Notes

On March 13, 2019, Huntsman International completed a $750 million offering of its 4.50% senior notes due 2029 (“2029 Senior Notes”). On March 27, 2019, Huntsman International applied the net proceeds of the offering of the 2029 Senior Notes to redeem in full $650 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% senior notes due 2020 (“2020 Senior Notes”) and also paid associated costs and accrued interest of $21 million and $12 million, respectively. In addition, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $23 million in the first quarter of 2019.

The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.50% per year, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, and will mature on May 1, 2029. Huntsman International may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to February 1, 2029 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. Huntsman International may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, on or after February 1, 2029 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, our loan of $380 million to our subsidiary Huntsman International was repaid to us in full.

Compliance with Covenants

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, our 2019 Term Loan, our A/R Programs and our notes.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies, and our cash flows and earnings are thus subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variations. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $173 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

From time to time, we may purchase interest rate swaps and/or other derivative instruments to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating-rate exposures. Under interest rate swaps, we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. On January 9, 2019, we entered into a six-year $17 million notional value interest rate hedge with a fixed rate of 2.66%. This swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive income. In November 2019, we terminated this swap and paid $1 million to our counterparties.

We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of March 31, 2020, we have designated approximately €465 million (approximately $511 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For both the three months ended March 31,

25

Table of Contents

2020 and March 31, 2019, the amount recognized on the hedge of our net investment was a gain of $8 million and was recorded in other comprehensive income in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In connection with the December 3, 2018 sale of Venator ordinary shares to Bank of America N.A., we recorded a forward swap. In February 2019, we settled this forward swap and received $16 million from the counterparty.

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. We elected the fair value option to account for our equity method investment in Venator post deconsolidation. The fair value of our remaining investment in Venator reported in investment in unconsolidated affiliates is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator.” The fair values of our non-qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded in an active market (Level 1).

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2020, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and there were no gains or losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings for instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

10. REVENUE RECOGNITION

We generate substantially all of our revenues through sales in the open market and long-term supply agreements. We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers. Control of goods usually passes to the customer at the time shipment is made. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales, value add and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. We have elected to account for all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs. We have also elected to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset that we would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

Geographic information for revenues is based upon countries into which product is sold.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated through product sales in which revenue is recognized at a point in time. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services, if any, promised in our contracts and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. In substantially all cases, a contract has a single performance obligation to deliver a promised good to the customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, we consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.

The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize is based upon the terms stated in the sales contract, which may contain variable consideration such as discounts or rebates. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct product based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order or

27

Table of Contents

in the sales contract is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. In order to estimate the applicable variable consideration, we use historical and current trend information to estimate the amount of discounts or rebates to which customers are likely to be entitled. Historically, actual discount or rebate adjustments relative to those estimated and included when determining the transaction price have not materially differed. Payment terms vary but are generally less than one year. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. In the normal course of business, we do not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. We establish provisions for estimated returns based on an analysis of historical experience.

12. HUNTSMAN CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

On February 7, 2018 and on May 3, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $950 million in shares of our common stock in addition to the $50 million remaining under our September 2015 share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase program will be supported by our free cash flow generation. Repurchases may be made through the open market, including through accelerated share repurchase programs, or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 5,364,519 shares of our common stock for approximately $96 million,

28

Table of Contents

excluding commissions, under the repurchase program. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, we elected to temporarily suspend share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program in order to enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19.

Dividends on Common Stock

During the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, we paid dividends of $37 million and $39 million, respectively, or $0.1625 per share each, to common stockholders.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

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.

15. 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $6 million and $7 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 $4 million for environmental liabilities as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Of these amounts, $1 million was classified as accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and $3 million was classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable

31

Table of Contents

over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

Environmental Matters

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar state laws, a current or former owner or operator of real property in the U.S. may be liable for remediation costs regardless of whether the release or disposal of hazardous substances was in compliance with law at the time it occurred, and a current owner or operator may be liable regardless of whether it owned or operated the facility at the time of the release. Outside the U.S., analogous contaminated property laws, such as those in effect in France and Australia, can hold past owners and/or operators liable for remediation at former facilities. Currently, there are approximately nine former facilities or third-party sites in the U.S. for which we have been notified of potential claims against us for cleanup liabilities, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect these third-party claims to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties as a condition to our hazardous waste permit. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our 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.

North Maybe Canyon Mine Remediation

The North Maybe Canyon Mine site is a CERCLA site and involves a former phosphorous mine near Soda Springs, Idaho, which is believed to have been operated by several companies, including a predecessor company to us. In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service notified us that we are a CERCLA potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for contamination originating from the site. In February 2010, we and Wells Cargo (another PRP) agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of a portion of the site and are currently engaged in that process. During the first quarter of 2020, there have been no significant developments, and, at this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate our potential liabilities at this site.

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately 7 million shares remaining under the stock-based compensation plans available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Outstanding stock-based awards generally vest annually over a three-year period.

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

Stock Options

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

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $8.27 per option. As of March 31, 2020, there was $12 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $1 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately nil and $1 million, respectively. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately nil.

Nonvested Shares

Nonvested shares granted under the stock-based compensation plans consist of restricted stock and performance share unit awards, which are accounted for as equity awards, and phantom stock, which is accounted for as a liability award because it can be settled in either stock or cash.

The fair value of each 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 34.0% and 34.6%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.4% and 2.5%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.

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.

(2)A total of 174,200 performance share unit awards are reflected in the vested shares in this table, which represents the target number of performance share unit awards for this grant and were included in the balance at December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, an additional 165,489 performance share unit awards with a grant date fair value of $26.99 vested above the target in accordance the performance criteria of these awards.

As of March 31, 2020, there was $34 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the stock-based compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years. The value of share awards that vested during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $23 million.

17. INCOME TAXES

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on an individual tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of our businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the applicable period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no tax benefit or expense recognized in connection with the loss of $110 million and gain of $76 million, respectively, on fair value adjustments to our Venator investment, recorded as part of non-operating income from continuing operations. As of December 31, 2019, we have recognized the portion of our Venator investment tax basis in excess of book that we ultimately expect to be able to utilize; therefore, no incremental tax benefit has been recognized on the year-to-date fair value loss. As a significant, unusual, non-operating item, this amount was treated discretely and excluded from the annual effective tax rate calculation for interim reporting.

Effective January 1, 2019, Switzerland reduced certain cantonal income tax rates resulting in a decrease in our net deferred tax assets and a corresponding noncash income tax expense of $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Huntsman Corporation

We recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $7 million and $45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses

34

Table of Contents

in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. The decrease in pretax income, as well as the one-time reduction in our Switzerland net deferred tax assets related to the 2019 tax rate change, resulted in lower income tax expense during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019.

Huntsman International

Huntsman International recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $7 million and $44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. The decrease in pretax income, as well as the one-time reduction in our Switzerland net deferred tax assets related to the 2019 tax rate change, resulted in lower income tax expense during the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019.

18. 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.

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

However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

19. 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. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we reported the results of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses.”

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

Overview

We operate in four segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products, 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. Our revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1,593 million and $1,669 million, respectively.

Recent Developments

Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses

On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama in a transaction valued at approximately $2 billion, comprising a cash purchase price of approximately $1.93 billion, which includes estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital, plus the transfer of approximately $72 million in net underfunded pension and other post-employment benefit liabilities. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Icynene-Lapolla Acquisition

On February 20, 2020, we completed the Icynene-Lapolla Acquisition for $353 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction funded from available liquidity. The acquired business is being integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. See “Note 3. Business Combinations and Acquisitions” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of CVC Thermoset Specialties

On March 15, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Emerald Performance Materials LLC, which is majority owned by affiliates of American Securities LLC, to acquire CVC Thermoset Specialties, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer serving the industrial composites, adhesives and coatings markets. CVC Thermoset Specialties operates two manufacturing facilities located in Akron, Ohio and Maple Shade, New Jersey. Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to pay $300 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, in an all-cash transaction funded from available liquidity. The transaction is expected to close around midyear of 2020. The acquired business is expected to be integrated into our Advanced Materials segment.

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies, softening demand for our products, and certain interruptions to our operations and supply chain. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a moderate adverse impact on our financial performance for the first quarter of 2020 and is having a significant impact so far in the second quarter of 2020. We believe the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue for the remainder of fiscal year 2020. For example, in the first quarter of 2020, we began to see the impacts of COVID-19 on our markets and operations, including softening demand, deteriorating margins across certain product lines, and logistical pressures in certain parts of our supply chain. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, including demand for our products, our operations, and results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, suppliers, and vendors and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the

38

Table of Contents

impact at this time. The risks to our business are more fully described in “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Outlook

We expect the following factors to impact our operating segments:

Polyurethanes:

Significantly lower volumes due to global economic crisis
Component MDI and polymeric systems margins remain depressed
Stable differentiated MDI margins
Slowly improving demand trends in China

Performance Products:

Significantly lower volumes due to global economic crisis
Stable China wind market
Stable margins in performance amines

Advanced Materials:

Significantly lower volumes due to global economic crisis
Growth in electrical infrastructure related markets
Stable margins

Textile Effects:

Significantly lower volumes due to global economic crisis
Long-term demand trends for sustainable solutions unchanged

During 2020, we expect to spend between approximately $225 million to $235 million on capital expenditures for continuing operations. We have deferred a portion of capital spending on a new MDI splitter in Geismar, Louisiana for six months leaving roughly $40 million of capital spend in 2020 with the remaining spend of approximately $120 million in 2021 and 2022.

We expect our forward adjusted effective tax rate will be approximately 22% to 24%. For further information, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Note 17. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of our use of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q.

(2)Includes costs associated with transition activities relating to the migration of our information system data centers and the transition of our Textile Effects segment’s production from Basel, Switzerland to a tolling facility. These transition costs were included in either selling, general and administrative expenses or cost of sales on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(3)See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(4)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.

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

(6)During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $32 million of deferred tax expense due to the reduction of tax rates in Switzerland. We eliminated the effect of these significant changes in tax valuation allowances and deferred tax assets and liabilities from our presentation of adjusted net income to allow investors to better compare our ongoing financial performance from period to period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and certain Corporate and other items, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal settlements and related expenses (income); (f) loss (gain) on sale of businesses/assets; (g) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (i) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs (credits). We believe that net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing the businesses’ ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, or other measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. Our management believes this measure is useful to compare general operating performance from period to period and to make certain related management decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expense can vary considerably among companies. Finally, companies employ productive assets of different ages and utilize different methods of acquiring and depreciating such assets. This can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

Nevertheless, our management recognizes that there are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company as compared to net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, which reflects overall financial performance. For example, we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Our management compensates for the limitations of using adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than U.S. GAAP results alone.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) loss (income) from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal settlements and related (income) expenses; (f) loss (gain) on sale of businesses/assets; (g) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (i) significant activities related to deferred tax assets and liabilities; and (j) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs (credits). Basic adjusted net income per share excludes

43

Table of Contents

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.

Free Cash Flow

Management internally uses a free cash flow measure: (a) to evaluate our liquidity, (b) evaluate strategic investments, (c) plan stock buyback and dividend levels and (d) evaluate our ability to incur and service debt. We have historically defined free cash flow as cash flows provided by operating activities and used in investing activities, excluding acquisition/disposition activities and including non-recurring separation costs. Starting with the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we updated our definition of free cash flow to a presentation more consistent with today’s market standard of net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Using our updated definition, our free cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were $382 million, $453 million and $438 million, respectively. Free cash flow is not a defined term under U.S. GAAP, and it should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

We believe that the effective tax rate of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted effective tax rate. We believe our adjusted effective tax rate provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. We do not provide reconciliations for adjusted effective tax rate on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as business acquisition and integration expenses, merger costs, certain legal and other settlements and related costs, gains on sale of business/assets and amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, is out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

As discussed in “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the results from continuing operations exclude the results of our Chemical Intermediates and Businesses and the results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics business for all periods presented. The decrease of $168 million attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the decrease of $166 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International from continuing operations, respectively, was the result of the following items:

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $76 million, or 5%, as compared with the 2019 period. The decrease was primarily due to lower average selling prices in all our segments and lower sales volumes in all our segments, except for our Textile Effects segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Our gross profit and the gross profit of Huntsman International for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $62 million each, or 17% each, compared to a gain of with the 2019 period. The decrease resulted from lower gross margins in all our segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

Our interest expense, net and the interest expense, net of Huntsman International for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $12 million and $15 million, respectively, or 40% and 43%, respectively, as compared with the 2019 period, primarily related to higher interest income on deposits held and lower interest expense resulting from repayments of outstanding borrowings on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and other prepayable debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a loss of $110 million in fair value adjustments to our investment in Venator as a result of recording our equity method investment in Venator at fair value

Table of Contents

compared to a $76 million gain in the 2019 period. See “Note 4. Business Dispositions—Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased to nil from $23 million in the 2019 period in relation to the early repayment in full of our 2020 Senior Notes in the first quarter of 2019. See “Note. 7. Debt—Notes” to our consolidated financial statements.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased to $7 million from $45 million in the 2019 period. The income tax expense of Huntsman International for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased to $7 million from $44 million in the 2019 period. The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to the decrease in pretax income as well as the one-time reduction in our Switzerland net deferred tax assets related to the 2019 tax rate change. 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 17. Income Taxes” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 was due to lower MDI average selling prices and modestly lower overall polyurethanes sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to a decline in component MDI selling prices in China and Europe. Overall polyurethanes sales volumes decreased slightly primarily due to decreased demand across most major markets, partially offset by modest growth in MDI sales volumes. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower MDI margins driven by lower MDI pricing, partially offset by higher MDI sales volumes.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to lower raw material costs. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to weakened market conditions in our maleic anhydride business, partially offset by higher sales volumes in our amines business. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins in our performance amines business and lower fixed costs.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased across most markets, particularly commodity, industrial and aerospace, primarily due to economic slowdown and customer destocking. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies, partially offset by higher local currency selling prices. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower fixed costs.

Textile Effects

The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 was due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased as a result of competitive market pressures and the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes increased mainly in Europe and Asia. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales revenues, partially offset by lower raw material costs and lower fixed costs.

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 gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation decreased by $5 million to a loss of $45 million from a loss of $40 million for the same period of 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International decreased by $6 million to a loss of $44 million from a loss of $38 million for the same period of 2019. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from a charge from a LIFO inventory reserve adjustment and an increase in corporate overhead costs, partially offset by a decrease in unallocated foreign currency exchange loss.

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 Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $40 million. Although net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was the same during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019, the decrease in operating income as described in “—Results of Operations” above was offset by a $20 million favorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared with the same period of 2019.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,511 million and $(45) million, respectively. During both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we paid $61 million for capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received $1.9 billion for the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses and paid $346 million for the acquisition of a business, net of cash acquired. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received $16 million in proceeds from the settlement of the December 3, 2018 sale of Venator ordinary shares to Bank of America N.A.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $(354) million and $183 million, respectively. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to repayments on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2020 and an increase in repurchases of common stock in the first quarter of 2020.

Free cash flow from continuing operations for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was a use of cash of $101 million.

For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our working capital increased by $191 million as a result of the net impact of the following significant changes:

The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1,062 million resulted from the matters identified on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Inventories increased by $58 million primarily due to higher inventory volumes.

Accrued liabilities increased by $309 million primarily due to an increase in current income taxes payable related to taxes payable on the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses.

Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity

We depend upon our cash, 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of March 31, 2020, we had $2,930 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $1,594 million in cash, $1,193 million in availability under our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and $143 million in availability under our A/R Programs. We believe our existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under our credit facility, will allow us to manage the anticipated impact of COVID-19 on our business operations for the foreseeable future. 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, was approximately $65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue.

During 2020, we expect to spend between approximately $225 million to $235 million on capital expenditures for continuing operations. We have deferred a portion of capital spending on a new MDI splitter in Geismar, Louisiana for six months leaving roughly $40 million of capital spend in 2020 with the remaining spend of approximately $120 million in 2021 and 2022. We expect to fund spending on all capital expenditures with cash provided by operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans of $20 million. During the remainder of 2020, we expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately $67 million to these plans.

On February 7, 2018 and on May 3, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to an additional $950 million in shares of our common stock in addition to the $50 million remaining under our September 2015 share repurchase authorization. Repurchases may be made through the open market, including through accelerated share repurchase programs, or in privately negotiated transactions,

49

Table of Contents

and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 5,364,519 shares of our common stock for approximately $96 million, excluding commissions, under the repurchase program. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, we elected to temporarily suspend share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program in order to enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19.

Beginning in December 2018, our ownership in Venator decreased to approximately 49%, and we began accounting for our remaining interest in Venator as an equity method investment using the fair value option. Accordingly, in the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a loss of $110 million to record our equity method investment in Venator at fair value. Under the fair value option to account for our equity method investment in Venator, amounts recorded in “Fair value adjustments to Venator investment” could fluctuate depending upon the change in market value of Venator common stock. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 3, 2020, we completed the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses” to our condensed consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2020, we received proceeds from the sale of $1.915 billion, and we expect to pay income taxes of approximately $375 million during 2020. We expect to use the net proceeds from this sale to: 1) invest in complementary strategic acquisitions that develop our technology and product portfolio, 2) continue investing in organic, internal opportunities, 3) prepay certain prepayable debt, and 4) to repurchase shares opportunistically and pay a competitive dividend.

In connection with the January 3, 2020, sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama, we assigned to Indorama an insurance claim related to damages we incurred from a recent fire at a neighboring third-party property near the Port Neches, Texas site. We agreed with Indorama that we will receive the first $50 million of the potential insurance recovery when and if paid. During the first quarter of 2020, we received $30 million of insurance recovery progress payments. In addition, we agreed with Indorama to cover certain reinstatement costs pertaining to our damaged assets at the third-party site. We currently do not expect these costs to be material.

As of March 31, 2020, we had $134 million classified as current portion of debt, including $101 million on our 2019 Term Loan, debt at our variable interest entities of $32 million and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $1 million. We intend to renew, repay or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $330 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends and the repatriation of cash as a dividend would generally not be subject to U.S. taxation as a result of the U.S. Tax Reform Act. However, such repatriation may potentially be subject to limited foreign withholding taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are presented in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures. We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. See “Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2020. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). However, we can only give reasonable assurance that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Ineffective internal controls over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material developments with respect to the legal proceedings referenced in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding risk factors, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition to the risk factors noted in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following risk factor is applicable to us.

Our results of operations and financial conditions have been and, we believe, will in the future be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the duration and extent to which it will impact our results of operations and financial conditions remains uncertain.

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread from China to many other countries, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The outbreak has resulted in governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, school closures and other measures.

The COVID-19 outbreak is a widespread public health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets of many countries. The resulting economic downturn could adversely affect demand for our products and contribute to volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for our products. In particular, demand for our products depends in part on certain cyclical industries, including housing and construction, which have historically been disproportionally impacted by downturns in the economy. In the first quarter 2020, we began to see the impacts of COVID-19 on our markets and operations, including softening demand and deteriorating margins across certain product lines. These effects have intensified so far in the second quarter of 2020. Our customers may also be directly impacted by business curtailments or weak market conditions and may not be willing or able to complete fulfillment of their orders. In addition, declines in the performance or financial condition of our customers could expose us to additional credit risks.

We are a company operating in a “critical infrastructure” industry, as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Consistent with federal and international guidelines and with state and local orders to date, we currently have largely continued to operate across our footprint. Notwithstanding our continued operations, COVID-19 has begun to have, and may have, further negative impact on our operations, supply chain, and transportation networks, which is expected to compress our margins and cash flows. The progression of COVID-19’s impact could also negatively impact our business or results of operations through the temporary idling of our manufacturing facilities or those of our customers and/or suppliers, disrupting the in-flow of raw materials, limiting our ability to produce our products and delaying or preventing deliveries to our customers, among others. The impact of COVID-19 outbreak has also begun to cause delays in our capital projects, including our decision to delay a portion of our discretionary spending on the new MDI splitter in Geismar, Louisiana to 2022. The extent of such delays and other effects of COVID-19 on our capital projects, certain of which are outside of our control, is unknown, but they may impact or delay the timing of anticipated benefits on such capital projects.

Additionally, a significant portion of our employees (including those located at our corporate headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas) are currently working remotely. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.

The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information concerning the severity of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions globally to contain or mitigate its effects. While we expect this matter to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the current level of uncertainty over the economic and

operational impacts of COVID-19 means the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Any of these events could amplify the other risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or stock price.

(1)On February 7, 2018 and on May 3, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to an additional $950 million in shares of our common stock in addition to the $50 million remaining under our September 2015 share repurchase authorization. The share repurchase program will be supported by our free cash flow generation. Repurchases may be made in the open market, including through accelerated share repurchase programs, or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 5,364,519 shares of our common stock for approximately $96 million, excluding commissions, under the repurchase program. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2020, we elected to temporarily suspend share repurchases under our existing share repurchase program in order to enhance our liquidity position in response to COVID-19.
