NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

        For convenience in this report, the terms "Company," "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) and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

        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, 2015 for our Company and Huntsman International.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic 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, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye 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, dyes, titanium dioxide and color pigments.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects, and Pigments and Additives. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments and Additives segment produces inorganic chemical products. In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shutdown substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We 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.

1. GENERAL (Continued)

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.

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:

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.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Debt Activity

        On April 1, 2016, Huntsman International entered into a new $550 million term loan B due 2023 ("2016 Term Loan B"). Proceeds from the 2016 Term Loan B were used to repay in full our extended term loan B facility due 2017 ("Extended Term Loan B"), our extended term loan B facility—series 2 due 2017 ("Extended Term Loan B—Series 2"), and our term loan C due 2016 ("Term Loan C"). In connection with these repayments, we expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1 million in the second quarter of 2016. In addition, Huntsman International extended the maturity date of its revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility") to 2021 and increased the committed amount to $650 million. For more information, see "Note 6. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt."

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 2016

        In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, eliminating from US GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Reporting entities will no longer have to assess whether a particular event or transaction event is extraordinary. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

        In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The amendments in this ASU change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. These amendments affect areas specific to limited partnerships and similar legal entities, evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or service provider as a variable interest, the effects of both fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and certain investment funds. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance that will help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement, including whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses; otherwise, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, and in April 2016, the

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

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). 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 and ASU No. 2016-10 should be applied retrospectively, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the amendments in ASU No. 2014-09, ASU No. 2016-08 and ASU No. 2016-10 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

        In July 2015, the FASB issued 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 (FIFO) 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 with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

        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.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Shared-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. Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted in any interim or annual period. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As part of the program, we are reducing our workforce by approximately 900 positions. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

        On February 12, 2015, we announced a plan to close the 'black end' manufacturing operations and ancillary activities at our Calais, France site, which will reduce our titanium dioxide capacity by approximately 100 kilotons, or 13% of our European titanium dioxide capacity. In connection with this announcement, we recorded restructuring expense of $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

        On March 4, 2015, we announced plans to restructure our color pigments business, another step in our comprehensive restructuring program in our Pigments and Additives segment, and recorded restructuring expense of approximately $3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

        In connection with planned restructuring activities, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded accelerated depreciation as restructuring expense of $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

2015 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        As part of the comprehensive restructuring program in our Pigments and Additives segment announced in December 2014, we recorded restructuring expense of $34 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 related primarily to workforce reductions.

        In connection with the closure of the 'black end' at our Calais, France site announced in February 2015, we began to accelerate depreciation on the affected assets and recorded incremental accelerated depreciation in the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $28 million as restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. In addition, we recorded restructuring expense of $22 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 related primarily to workforce reductions.

        In connection with our plans announced in March 2015 to restructure our color pigments business within our Pigments and Additives segment, we recorded restructuring expense of approximately $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to workforce reductions.

6. DEBT (Continued)

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 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.

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amount of debt issuance costs directly reducing the debt liability was $64 million and $67 million, respectively. We record the amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense.

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of March 31, 2016, our senior credit facilities ("Senior Credit Facilities") consisted of our Revolving Facility, our Extended Term Loan B, our Extended Term Loan B—Series 2, our 2015 extended term loan B facility ("2015 Extended Term Loan B"), our 2014 term loan facility ("2014 Term Loan B") and our Term Loan C as follows (dollars in millions):

(2)
The 2014 Term Loan B is subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor.

(3)
The applicable interest rate of the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of March 31, 2016, 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 and certain of our foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"), and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendment to the Credit Agreement

        On April 1, 2016, Huntsman International entered into a fifteenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement"). The amendment provides for a new term loan facility, 2016 Term Loan B, to refinance existing term loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $550 million. The net proceeds of the 2016 Term Loan B were used to repay in full Huntsman International's Extended Term Loan B, Extended Term Loan B—Series 2 and Term Loan C. In connection with these repayments, we expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1 million in the second quarter of 2016.

        The 2016 Term Loan B matures on April 1, 2023, provided that the maturity date will accelerate if we do not repay, refinance or have a minimum level of liquidity available to enable us to repay certain our senior notes upon maturity. The 2016 Term Loan B is subject to the same terms and conditions as our existing senior secured term loan facilities.

        The 2016 Term Loan B bears interest at an interest rate margin of LIBOR plus 3.50% (subject to a 0.75% floor) and amortizes in annual amounts equal to 1% of the principal amount of the 2016 Term Loan B, payable quarterly commencing on June 30, 2016.

        The amendment also extends the stated termination date of our Revolving Facility from March 20, 2017 to March 20, 2021, provided that the maturity date will accelerate if we do not repay, refinance or have a minimum level of liquidity available to enable us to repay our Term Loan B due 2019 or our senior notes upon their maturity. The amendment further increases the committed amount of our Revolving Facility by $25 million (from $625 million to $650 million). Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at the same rate as the existing revolving commitments. As of March 31, 2016 we had no borrowings under our Revolving 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

Applicable rate for our U.S. A/R Program is defined by the lender as either USD LIBOR or CP rate. 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 March 31, 2016, we had approximately $7 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

        As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $493 million and $438 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of March 31, 2016 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2016, 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 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.

7. 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        All derivatives, whether designated in 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 March 31, 2016, we had approximately $185 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        Huntsman International has entered into two 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 are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (dollars in millions):

March 31, 2016
Notional
Value
  Effective Date   Maturity   Fixed
Rate
  Fair Value
$ 50   December 2014   April 2017     2.5 % $1 noncurrent liability
  50   January 2015   April 2017     2.5 % 1 noncurrent liability

        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 4. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the swap as of March 31, 2016 was $22 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the swap was $2 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil due to changes in fair value of the swap.

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        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%). As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of this swap was $20 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

        In March 2010, we entered into three five year cross-currency interest rate contracts to swap an aggregate notional $350 million for an aggregate notional €255 million. This swap was designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $66 million in payments 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 (loss) on our condensed statements of comprehensive income (loss). 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 March 31, 2016, we have designated approximately €621 million (approximately $697 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $21 million and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

        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).

        The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 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, 2016 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

As of April 1, 2015, we no longer exercise significant influence in our investment in Nippon Aqua Co., Ltd., for which we previously accounted using the equity method. Consequently, we now account for this investment at fair value as an available-for-sale equity security.

(2)
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 have 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.

        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 months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded charges of nil for the impairment of long-lived assets.

During the remainder of 2016, we expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately $55 million to these plans.

10. HUNTSMAN CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

        On September 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of Huntsman Corporation common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs or by other means. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors, including market conditions. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued from time to time without prior notice. On October 27, 2015, we entered into and funded an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank, N.A. to repurchase $100 million of our common stock. Citibank, N.A. made an initial delivery of approximately 7.1 million shares of our common stock based on the closing price of $11.94 on October 27, 2015. The accelerated share repurchase agreement was completed in January 2016 with the delivery of an additional approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock. The final number of shares repurchased and the aggregate cost per share of $11.68 was based on the Company's daily volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount. For more information, see "Part 2. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds."

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

        During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we paid cash dividends of approximately $30 million and $31 million, respectively, or $0.125 per share, to common stockholders.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS

Antitrust Matters

        We were named as a defendant in consolidated class action civil antitrust suits filed on February 9 and 12, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland alleging that we and our co-defendants and other alleged co-conspirators conspired to fix prices of titanium dioxide sold in the U.S. between at least March 1, 2002 and the present. The other defendants named in this matter were DuPont, Kronos and Cristal (formerly Millennium). On August 28, 2012, the court certified a class consisting of all U.S. customers who purchased titanium dioxide directly from the defendants (the "Direct Purchasers") since February 1, 2003. On December 13, 2013, we and all other defendants settled the Direct Purchasers litigation and the court approved the settlement. We paid the settlement in an amount immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

        On November 22, 2013, we were named as a defendant in a civil antitrust suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota brought by a Direct Purchaser who opted out of the Direct Purchasers class litigation (the "Opt-Out Litigation"). On April 21, 2014, the court severed the claims against us from the other defendants sued and ordered our case transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Subsequently, Kronos, another defendant, was also severed from the Minnesota case and claims against it were transferred and consolidated for trial with our case in the Southern District of Texas. On February 26, 2016, we reached an agreement to settle the Opt-Out Litigation for an amount immaterial to our financial statements. The case was subsequently dismissed on March 9, 2016.

        We were also named as a defendant in a class action civil antitrust suit filed on March 15, 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by the purchasers of products made from titanium dioxide (the "Indirect Purchasers") making essentially the same allegations as did the Direct Purchasers. On October 14, 2014, plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Class Action Complaint narrowing the class of plaintiffs to those merchants and consumers of architectural coatings containing titanium dioxide. On August 11, 2015, the court granted our motion to dismiss the Indirect Purchasers litigation with leave to amend the complaint. A Third Amended Class Action Complaint was filed on September 29, 2015 further limiting the class to consumers of architectural paints. Plaintiffs have raised state antitrust claims under the laws of 15 states, consumer protection claims under the laws of 9 states, and unjust enrichment claims under the laws of 16 states. On November 4, 2015, we and our co-defendants filed another motion to dismiss, which remains pending. The Indirect Purchasers plaintiffs seek to recover injunctive relief, treble damages or the maximum damages allowed by state law, costs of suit and attorneys' fees. We are not aware of any illegal conduct by us or any of our employees. Nevertheless, we have incurred costs relating to this claim and could incur additional costs in amounts which in the aggregate could be material to us. Because of the overall complexity of this case, we are unable to reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss and we have made no accrual with respect to this claim.

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 $172 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 $127 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 $127 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"). 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"). 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 April 9, 2015, the court denied the Banks' motions to dismiss the Wisconsin Litigation, which were on the same grounds asserted in the Texas Litigation, as moot. We expect the Banks to refile these motions once limited discovery related to jurisdiction is complete. We denied the Banks' indemnification demand for both the Texas Litigation and the Wisconsin Litigation.

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.

13. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHS CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

        We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $11 million and $26 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 $39 million and $38 million for environmental liabilities as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Of these amounts, $7 million and $6 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and $32 million was classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets for both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 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 10 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 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.

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 March 31, 2016, we had an accrued liability of approximately $17 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 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.

Port Neches Flaring Matter

        As part of the Environmental Protection Agency's (the "EPA") national enforcement initiative on flaring operations and by letter dated October 12, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") notified us that we were in violation of the CAA based on our response to a 2010 CAA Section 114 Information Request. The EPA has used the enforcement initiative to bring similar actions against refiners and other chemical manufacturers and has sought to collect civil penalties in excess of $100,000. Specifically, the EPA alleged violations at our Port Neches, Texas facility from 2007-2012 for flare operations not consistent with good pollution control practice and not in compliance with certain flare-related regulations. As a result of these findings, the EPA referred this matter to the DOJ. We provided a formal response to the DOJ and the EPA with a supplemental data submission on April 29, 2013. We have been engaged in discussions with the DOJ and the EPA regarding these alleged violations and conducted field trials on an alternate flare monitoring method beginning in September 2014. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood or magnitude of any potential penalty or injunctive relief that may be incurred in resolving this matter.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

        Under the Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), a plan approved by stockholders, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share unit awards 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 are fixed at the grant date. As of March 31, 2016, we were authorized to grant up to 37.2 million shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2016, we had 3 million shares remaining under the 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. Stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period; certain performance share unit awards vest over a two-year period.

    7     8  

        The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for us and Huntsman International for stock-based compensation arrangements was $2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

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, 2016 was $2.94 per option. As of March 31, 2016, there was $16 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. 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 the three months ended both March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately nil.

NONVESTED SHARES

        Nonvested shares granted under the Stock Incentive 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 three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 39.3% and 30.0%, respectively and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over two-year and three-year performance periods. 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 two-year and three-year performance periods.

As of March 31, 2016, a total of 454,900 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 60,948 vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016. 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 March 31, 2016, there was $40 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years. The value of share awards that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $15 million and $20 million, respectively.

15. 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, 2016 and 2015, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding income tax benefit of $1 million and a net decrease in unrecognized benefits and a corresponding income tax benefit of $9 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.

Huntsman Corporation

        We recorded income tax expense of $27 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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. Notably, we continue to earn a significant portion of our pre-tax income in the United States with an approximate 35% federal and state blended effective tax rate.

Huntsman International

        Huntsman International recorded income tax expense of $27 million and $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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. Notably, we continue to earn a significant portion of our pre-tax income in the United States with an approximate 35% federal and state blended effective tax rate.

16. 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 per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

16. NET INCOME PER SHARE (Continued)

        Additional stock-based awards of 11.8 million and 2.3 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

17. 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 reported our operations through five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments and Additives. We have organized our business and derived our operating segments around differences in product lines.

        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 inks
Pigments and Additives   titanium dioxide, functional additives, color pigments, timber treatment and water treatment chemicals

        Sales between segments are generally recognized at external market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. We use EBITDA to measure the financial performance of our global business units and for reporting the results of our operating segments. This measure includes all operating items relating to the businesses. The EBITDA of operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our

OVERVIEW

Business

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments and Additives. 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, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye 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, dyes, titanium dioxide and color pigments. Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $2,355 million and $2,589 million, respectively.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Debt Activity

        On April 1, 2016, Huntsman International entered into the 2016 Term Loan B. Proceeds from the 2016 Term Loan B were used to repay in full our Extended Term Loan B, our Extended Term Loan B—Series 2 and our Term Loan C. In connection with these repayments, we expect to record a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1 million in the second quarter of 2016. In addition, Huntsman International extended the maturity date of its Revolving Facility to 2021 and increased the committed amount to $650 million. For more information, see "Note 6. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

OUTLOOK

        We are encouraged by our first quarter 2016 results and we believe we will continue to see improvements across our businesses during 2016 as we remain focused on three strategic priorities: first, growing margins and earnings in our core downstream differentiated businesses; second, generating free cash flow of $350 million in 2016; and third, separating our titanium dioxide business. We believe that our first quarter results position us well to accomplish these objectives. The following is a summary of the key trends expected in our business segments:

Polyurethanes:

Performance Products:

Advanced Materials:

Textile Effects:

Pigments and Additives:

        We remain committed to a separation of some or all of our Pigments and Additives businesses and are actively exploring additional possibilities outside of an initial public offering or a spin-off. Our ability to effect such separation is subject to, among other things, market conditions and the approval of our Board of Directors.

59


Table of Contents

        In 2016, we expect to spend approximately $450 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements.

        We expect our full year 2016 tax rate to be approximately 30% and our full year adjusted effective tax rate to be approximately 30%. We believe our long-term effective income tax rate will be approximately 30%.

Our management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International,

Table of Contents

(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) acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting adjustments; (b) loss from discontinued operations; (c) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (d) certain legal settlements and related (income) expenses; (e) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (f) net plant incident remediation costs; and (g) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. 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. Basic adjusted income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. 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 income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information.

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.

Polyurethanes

        The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 was primarily due to lower average selling prices. MDI average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar primarily against the euro. MTBE average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of lower pricing for high octane gasoline. MDI sales volumes increased due to higher demand in the Americas and European regions. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased due to the impact of the prior year planned maintenance outage. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to the impact of the planned PO/MTBE maintenance outage of approximately $60 million and higher MDI volumes, partially offset by lower MTBE margins and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar primarily against the euro.

Performance Products

        The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 was due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar primarily against the euro. Sales volumes increased primarily due to higher sales volumes of ethylene oxide intermediates, partially offset by lower sales volumes for amines and maleic anhydride. The decrease in segment

Table of Contents

EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes for amines and maleic anhydride and lower margins for ethylene and maleic anyhydride.

Advanced Materials

        The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased in the Americas region, primarily due to competitive pressure, partially offset by strong volume growth in our European and Asia Pacific regions. Average selling prices decreased in our European and Asia Pacific regions as a result of competitive pricing pressure and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar primarily against the euro. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins from lower raw material costs.

Textile Effects

        The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business and destocking within the dyes supply chain. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins from lower raw material costs, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower restructuring costs.

Pigments and Additives

        The decrease in revenues in our Pigments and Additives segment for three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of competitive pressure and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar primarily against the euro. Sales volumes increased primarily due to increased end use demand. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, partially offset by lower margins for titatnium dioxide. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded acquisition expenses and integration costs of $5 million and $6 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $11 million and $85 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 5. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Corporate and other

        Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign 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, benzene sales and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International decreased by $1 million to a loss of $43 million from a loss of $42 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from a decrease in LIFO inventory valuation income, substantially offset by a decrease in loss from benzene sales and a decrease in loss on early extinguishment of debt.

Discontinued Operations

        The operating results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics businesses are classified as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, the revenues of these businesses are excluded from revenues for all periods presented. The EBITDA of these former businesses are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The loss from discontinued operations represents the operating results, legal costs, restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and gain (loss) on disposal with respect to our former businesses.

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 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $88 million and $34 million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the same period in 2015 was primarily attributable to increased operating income as described in "—Results of Operations" above, offset in part by a $17 million unfavorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared with the same period of 2015.

        Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $101 million and $81 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we paid $99 million and $149 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we made investments in Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. of $11 million and $4 million, respectively, and in our BASF Huntsman Shanghai Isocyanate Investment B.V. joint venture of nil and $9 million, respectively, and received dividends from Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. of $10 million and $15 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received $66 million from the termination of cross-currency interest rate contracts.

        Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $(38) million and $189 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the issuance of long-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2015. On March 31, 2015, we issued €300 million (approximately $326 million) aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due 2025.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY

        We depend upon our cash, credit facilities, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of March 31, 2016, we had $974 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $218 million in cash and restricted cash, $610 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $146 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:

71


Table of Contents

        As of March 31, 2016, we had $103 million classified as current portion of debt, including a short-term borrowing facility in China totaling $39 million, scheduled Senior Credit Facilities amortization payments totaling $20 million, debt at our variable interest entities of $17 million, and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $27 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 March 31, 2016, we had approximately $175 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. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends or as repayments of intercompany debt. If foreign cash were repatriated as dividends, the dividends 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 if necessary, to meet our cash needs in the U.S and we do not expect to repatriate cash to the U.S. as dividends. 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.

RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND PLANT CLOSING COSTS

        Since the Rockwood Acquisition, our Pigments and Additives segment has been involved in a cost reduction program expected to reduce costs by approximately $140 million and improve its global competitiveness. In addition, we have announced a capacity reduction at our titanium dioxide manufacturing facility in Calais, France expected to generate approximately $35 million of annual savings. These cost savings are expected to be achieved by the middle of 2016.

        For further discussion of these and other restructuring plans and the costs involved, see "Note 5. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 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 in 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

73


Table of Contents

exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of March 31, 2016, we had approximately $185 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        Huntsman International has entered into two 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 are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (dollars in millions):

March 31, 2016
Notional
Value
  Effective Date   Maturity   Fixed
Rate
  Fair Value
$ 50   December 2014   April 2017     2.5 % $1 noncurrent liability
  50   January 2015   April 2017     2.5 % 1 noncurrent liability

        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 4. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The notional amount of the swap as of March 31, 2016 was $22 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the swap was $2 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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%). As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of this swap was $20 million and was recorded in noncurrent assetsin our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

        In March 2010, we entered into three five year cross-currency interest rate contracts to swap an aggregate notional $350 million for an aggregate notional €255 million. This swap was designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we terminated these cross-currency interest rate contracts and received $66 million in payments 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 (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). 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 March 31, 2016, we have designated approximately €

Table of Contents

621 million (approximately $697 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the amount of loss recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $21 million and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

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, 2016. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, 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, 2016 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.

On September 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of our common stock. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued from time to time without prior notice. On October 27, 2015, we entered into and funded an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank, N.A. to repurchase $100 million of our common stock. Citibank, N.A. made an initial delivery of approximately 7.1 million shares of Huntsman Corporation common stock based on the closing price of $11.94 on October 27, 2015. The accelerated share repurchase agreement was completed in January 2016 with the delivery of an additional approximately 1.5 million shares of Huntsman Corporation common stock. The final number of shares repurchased and the aggregate cost per share of $11.68 was based on the Company's daily volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount.
