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 100% 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and Huntsman International's interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) 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 condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) 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, 2014 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.

1. GENERAL (Continued)

COMPANY

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

        Currently, we operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our 100% 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 (unaudited) 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 (unaudited) 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

Share Repurchase Program

        On September 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the authorized repurchase program. We intend to begin repurchasing shares under this program beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

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 2015

        In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, changing the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhancing reporting requirements for discontinued operations. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity will be required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. Further, the amendments in this ASU will require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2015, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

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. 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 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 on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, providing guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In January 2015, the FASB issued 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. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively or may also apply them retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        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. A reporting entity may apply the amendments retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period provided that any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, and that amortization of debt issuance costs shall be reported as interest expense. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early application permitted. Entities would apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods. We do not expect the adoption of the amendment in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        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. Entities can elect to adopt the amendments either prospectively to all arrangements entered into after the effective date or retrospectively to all prior periods. We do not expect the adoption of the amendment in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        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 amendment in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the current reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU also require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this ASU with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. We do not expect the adoption of the amendment in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        On October 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses (the "Rockwood Acquisition") of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. ("Rockwood"). We paid $1.02 billion in cash and assumed certain unfunded pension liabilities in connection with the Rockwood Acquisition. The acquisition was financed using a bank term loan. The majority of the acquired businesses have been integrated into our Pigments and Additives segment. Transaction costs charged to

expense related to this acquisition were approximately nil and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately nil and $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

        The following businesses were acquired from Rockwood:

        In connection with securing certain regulatory approvals required to complete the Rockwood Acquisition, we sold our TiO2 TR52 product line used in printing inks to Henan Billions Chemicals Co., Ltd. ("Henan") in December 2014. The sale did not include any manufacturing assets but does include an agreement to supply TR52 product to Henan during a transitional period.

        We have accounted for the Rockwood Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation

        During the second quarter of 2015, we received $18 million related to the settlement of certain purchase price adjustments. As a result of the finalization of the valuation of the assets and liabilities, reallocations were made in certain property, plant and equipment, deferred tax, accrued liability and other long-term liability balances. None of the fair value of this acquisition was allocated to goodwill. Intangible assets acquired consist primarily of developed technology, trademarks and customer relationships, all of which are being amortized over nine years. The noncontrolling interest primarily relates to Viance, LLC ("Viance"), a 50%-owned joint venture with Dow Chemical acquired as part of the Rockwood Acquisition. The noncontrolling interest was valued at 50% of the fair value of the net assets of Viance as of October 1, 2014, as dictated by the ownership interest percentages. If the Rockwood Acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2013, the following estimated pro forma

2015 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        In June 2015, our Polyurethanes segment announced a restructuring program in Europe. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $14 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related primarily to workforce reductions.

        In June 2015, our Advanced Materials segment initiated a restructuring program in Europe. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded restructuring expense of $6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related primarily to workforce reductions and accelerated depreciation recorded as restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs.

        On September 27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness. In connection with this plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $6 million for non-cancelable

long-term contract termination costs, $4 million for decommissioning and $2 million in other restructuring costs associated with this initiative. In addition, we recorded charges of $5 million associated with other initiatives. We expect to finalize negotiations for settlement of certain of these non-cancelable long-term contracts during the fourth quarter of 2015.

        On December 1, 2014, we announced that we are taking significant action to improve the global competitiveness of our Pigments and Additives segment. As part of a comprehensive restructuring program, we plan to reduce our workforce by approximately 900 positions. In connection with this restructuring program, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded charges of $51 million for workforce reductions, $3 million for pension related charges and $12 million in other restructuring costs associated with this initiative. We expect to complete this program by the middle of 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 began to accelerate depreciation on the affected assets and recorded accelerated depreciation in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $73 million as restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded charges of $21 million for workforce reductions and non-cash charges of $10 million. We expect to complete this program by the end of 2016.

        On March 4, 2015, we announced plans to restructure our color pigments business, another step in our previously announced plan to significantly restructure our global Pigments and Additives segment, and recorded restructuring expense of approximately $5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to complete this program by the middle of 2016.

2014 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        In connection with a September 2014 announcement of a feasibility study into a MDI production expansion at our Geismar, Louisiana facility, we concluded that certain capitalized engineering costs associated with a previously planned MDI production expansion at our Rotterdam, The Netherlands facility were impaired and our Polyurethanes segment recorded a noncash impairment charge of $16 million during the third quarter of 2014.

        During 2013, our Performance Products segment initiated a restructuring program to refocus its surfactants business in Europe. In connection with this program, on June 25, 2014 we completed the sale of our European commodity surfactants business, including the ethoxylation facility in Lavera, France to Wilmar. In addition, Wilmar has entered into a multi-year arrangement to purchase certain sulphated surfactant products from our facilities in St. Mihiel, France and Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded charges of $23 million primarily related to workforce reductions.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $12 million primarily related to workforce reductions with our global transformational change program designed to improve the segment's manufacturing efficiencies, enhance its commercial excellence and improve its long-term global competitiveness.

We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $16 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(2)
On August 10, 2015, we entered into a fourteenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement"). The Amendment extends the stated maturity date of $773 million aggregate principal amount of our Extended Term Loan B and Extended Term Loan B—Series 2 from April 19, 2017 to April 19, 2019 and increases the interest rate margin with respect to the 2015 Extended Term Loan B to LIBOR plus 3.00%.

The 2014 Term Loan is subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor.

(4)
The applicable interest rate of the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of September 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balances under the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 3%.

        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.

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

As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $7 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into amendments to our A/R Programs that, among other things, extend the scheduled commitment termination dates and reduce the applicable borrowing margins. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $463 million and $472 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        As of September 30, 2015, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $148 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. On April 29, 2015, Arabian Amines Company obtained a waiver of certain financial covenants from the lender as well as a waiver of prior noncompliance under the debt financing agreements. As of September 30, 2015, Arabian Amines Company is in compliance with its debt financing arrangements and we have classified $16 million as current debt and $132 million as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). We do not guarantee these loan commitments and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations.

Other Debt

        On July 24, 2015, Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai ("HPS"), our consolidated splitting joint venture, entered into a financing arrangement to fund the construction of our MDI plant in China. As part of the financing, HPS has secured commitments of a RMB 669 million (approximately $105 million) term loan and a RMB 423 million (approximately $66 million) working capital facility.

These facilities are unsecured, and we do not provide a guarantee of these loan commitments. We expect to begin drawing down on these facilities by the end of the year.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of September 30, 2015, we had a loan of $895 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of September 30, 2015 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of September 30, 2015, 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.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

        All derivatives, whether designated 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 cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $208 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        Huntsman International has entered into several interest rate contracts to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit

$ 50   December 2014   April 2017     2.5 % $1 noncurrent liability
  50   January 2015   April 2017     2.5 % 2 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 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2015 was $24 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the swap was $3 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil each 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 September 30, 2015, the fair value of this swap was $28 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets.

        On March 17, 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.

        We 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. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2015, we have designated approximately €626 million (approximately $699 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $4 million and $61 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income (unaudited). As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately €1,291 million (approximately $1,440 million) in net euro assets.

        The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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 September 30, 2015 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

11. 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 our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the authorized repurchase program. We intend to begin repurchasing shares under this program beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

        During each of the quarters ended September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we paid cash dividends of approximately $31 million, or $0.125 per share, to common stockholders, and during each of the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, we paid cash dividends of approximately $30 million, or $0.125 per share, to common stockholders.

13. 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 in settlement an amount immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        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 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. Trial is scheduled for February 22, 2016. It is possible that additional claims will be filed by other Direct Purchasers who opted out of the class litigation.

        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. The Opt-Out Litigation and 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 these claims and could incur additional costs in amounts which in the aggregate could be material to us. Because of the overall complexity of these cases, we are unable to reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss associated with these claims and we have made no accruals with respect to these claims.

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 $171 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 $126 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 $126 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"). The Banks assert that they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Agreement of Compromise and Settlement between the Banks and our Company, dated June 22, 2009, wherein the Banks and our Company settled claims that we filed relating to the failed acquisition by and merger with Hexion. MatlinPatterson claims that the Banks knowingly made materially false representations about the nature of the financing for the acquisition of our Company by Hexion and that they suffered substantial loss in value to their 19 million shares of our common stock as a result thereof. MatlinPatterson is asserting statutory fraud, common law fraud and aiding and abetting statutory fraud and are seeking actual damages, exemplary damages, costs and attorney's fees and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On December 21, 2012, the court dismissed the Texas Litigation, a decision which was affirmed by the Ninth Court of Appeals of Texas on May 15, 2014. A subsequent motion for rehearing by MatlinPatterson was denied by the same appellate court on June 12, 2014. A petition for discretionary review in the Texas Supreme Court was filed on July 28, 2014 and is currently pending.

        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 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.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

General

        We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and international laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to safety, pollution, protection of the environment, product management and distribution, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances, revocation. Actual or alleged violations of safety laws, environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations or product distribution, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, as well as, under some environmental laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or require us to modify our facilities or operations. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities.

Environmental, Health and Safety Systems

        We are committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety ("EHS") legal requirements, and we have developed policies and management systems that are intended to identify the multitude of EHS legal requirements applicable to our operations, enhance compliance with applicable legal requirements, improve the safety of our employees, contractors, community neighbors and customers and minimize the production and emission of wastes and other pollutants. Although EHS legal requirements are constantly changing and are frequently difficult to comply with, these EHS management systems are designed to assist us in our compliance goals while also fostering efficiency and improvement and reducing overall risk to us.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $92 million and $70 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.

        We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liability to investigate and clean up waste or contamination at our current or former facilities or facilities operated by third parties at which we may have disposed of waste or other materials. Similarly, we may incur costs for the cleanup of waste that was disposed of prior to the purchase of our businesses. Under some circumstances, the scope of our liability may extend to damages to natural resources.

        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.

        One of these sites, the North Maybe Canyon Mine site, involves a former phosphorous mine near Soda Springs, Idaho, which is believed to have been operated by several companies, including a predecessor company to us. In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service notified us that we are a CERCLA potentially responsible party ("PRP") for contamination originating from the site. In February 2010, we and Wells Cargo (another PRP) agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of a portion of the site and are currently engaged in that process. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate our potential liabilities at this site.

        Another of these sites, the Star Lake Canal site in Port Neches, Texas, involves a discharge point for manufacturing facilities owned by us and several other local chemical manufacturers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") issued a draft Consent Decree related to cleanup at this site to us and a prior owner in September 2014. The prior owner has an indemnification obligation and has accepted defense of this matter. As of September 30, 2015, we had an accrued liability of approximately $18 million relating to this matter and a corresponding receivable of approximately $18 million relating to our indemnity protection.

        In addition, 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.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

        By letter dated March 7, 2006, our former Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia was issued a cleanup notice by the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria ("EPA Victoria") due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the site. On August 23, 2010, EPA Victoria revoked a second cleanup notice and issued a revised notice that included a requirement for financial assurance for the remediation. As of September 30, 2015, we had an accrued liability of approximately $16 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.

        In cases where our potential liability arises from historical contamination based on operations and other events occurring prior to our ownership of a business or specific facility, we frequently obtain an indemnity agreement from the prior owner addressing remediation liabilities arising from pre-closing conditions. We have successfully exercised our rights under these contractual covenants for a number of sites and, where applicable, mitigated our ultimate remediation liability. We cannot assure you, however, that the liabilities for all such matters subject to indemnity will be honored by the prior owner or that our existing indemnities will be sufficient to cover our liabilities for such matters. Based on available information and the indemnification rights we believe are likely to be available, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material effect on our financial statements. However, if such indemnities are not honored or do not fully cover the costs of investigation and remediation or we are required to contribute to such costs, then such expenditures may have a material effect on our financial statements. At the current time, we are unable to estimate the total cost, exclusive of indemnification benefits, to remediate known contamination sites.

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 $54 million and $60 million for environmental liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of these amounts, $4 million and $7 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and $50 million and $53 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

        On October 1, 2014, the Company completed the Rockwood Acquisition. The properties involved in the transaction are located primarily in China, Finland, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the U.S., and include both owned and leased sites. The existence of soil and groundwater contamination from historical industrial operations is known to exist at some of these new properties. As of

September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these newly acquired businesses had accrued $16 million and $17 million, respectively, for environmental liabilities (including remediations, investigations, groundwater monitoring, and reclamation obligations associated with landfill operations), which are included within the accrued environmental liabilities disclosed above. Of these amounts, $3 million each was classified as accrued liabilities and $13 million and $14 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. In certain cases, these remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. Pursuant to the agreements related to the Rockwood Acquisition, Rockwood has agreed to indemnify us for certain environmental matters.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

        The European Union regulatory framework for chemicals, called "REACH," became effective in 2007 and is designed to be phased in gradually over 11 years. As a REACH-regulated company that manufactures in or imports more than one metric ton per year of a chemical substance into the European Economic Area, we were required to pre-register with the European Chemicals Agency such chemical substances and isolated intermediates to take advantage of the 11 year phase-in period. To meet our compliance obligations, a cross-business REACH team was established, through which we were able to fulfill all required pre-registrations and our first and second phase registrations. While we continue our registration efforts to meet the next registration deadline of May 31, 2018, our REACH implementation team is now strategically focused on the evaluation and authorization phases of the REACH process, directing its efforts to address "Substances of Very High Concern" and evaluating potential business implications. Where warranted, evaluation of substitute chemicals will be an important element of our ongoing manufacturing sustainability efforts. As a chemical manufacturer with global operations, we actively monitor and address analogous regulatory regimes being considered or implemented outside of the European Union, such as in South Korea and Taiwan. The business impact assessment for the first list of priority chemicals in South Korea is ongoing.

        Although the total long-term cost for REACH compliance is unknown at this time, we spent approximately $5 million, $4 million and $8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to meet the initial REACH requirements. We cannot provide assurance that these recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts that we may be required to spend for REACH compliance.

GREENHOUSE GAS REGULATION

        Globally, our operations are increasingly subject to regulations that seek to reduce emissions of "greenhouse gases" ("GHGs"), such as carbon dioxide and methane, which may be contributing to changes in the earth's climate. At the Durban negotiations of the Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol in 2012, a limited group of nations, including the European Union, agreed to a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty that provides for reductions in GHG emissions. More significantly, the European Union GHG Emissions Trading System ("ETS"), established pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce GHG emissions in the European Union, continues in its third phase. The European Union parliament continues with a process to formalized "backloading"—the withholding of GHG allowances to prop up carbon prices. As backloading is only a

temporary measure, a sustainable solution to the imbalance between supply and demand requires structural changes to the ETS. The European Commission proposes to establish a market stability reserve at the beginning of the next trading period in 2021. In addition, the European Union has recently announced the binding target to reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% below the 1990 level by 2030. The European Commission proposed an objective of increasing the share of renewable energy to at least 27% of the European Union's energy consumption by 2030. The European Council endorsed this target, which is binding at the European Union level. The European Commission also proposed a 30% energy savings target for 2030. The European Council, however, endorsed an indicative target of 27% to be reviewed in 2020 having in mind a 30% target.

        Federal climate change legislation in the U.S. appears unlikely in the near-term. As a result, domestic efforts to curb GHG emissions will continue to be led by the EPA's GHG regulations and the efforts of states. To the extent that our domestic operations are subject to the EPA's GHG regulations, we may face increased capital and operating costs associated with new or expanded facilities. Significant expansions of our existing facilities or construction of new facilities may be subject to the Clean Air Act's (the "CAA") Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements under the EPA's GHG "Tailoring Rule." Some of our facilities are also subject to the EPA's Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases rule, and any further regulation may increase our operational costs.

        Under a consent decree with states and environmental groups, the EPA is due to propose new source performance standards for GHG emissions from refineries. These standards could significantly increase the costs of constructing or adding capacity to refineries and may ultimately increase the costs or decrease the supply of refined products. Either of these events could have an adverse effect on our business.

        We are already managing and reporting GHG emissions, to varying degrees, as required by law for our sites in locations subject to Kyoto Protocol obligations and/or European Union emissions trading scheme requirements. Although these sites are subject to existing GHG legislation, few have experienced or anticipate significant cost increases as a result of these programs, although it is possible that GHG emission restrictions may increase over time. Potential consequences of such restrictions include capital requirements to modify assets to meet GHG emission restrictions and/or increases in energy costs above the level of general inflation, as well as direct compliance costs. Currently, however, it is not possible to estimate the likely financial impact of potential future regulation on any of our sites.

        Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any of those effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

PORT NECHES FLARING MATTER

        As part of the EPA's 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. 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.

15. 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 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 September 30, 2015, we were authorized to grant up to 37.2 million shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2015, we had 7 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 awards vest over a two-year period.

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

Huntsman International compensation cost

    4     6     20     21  

        The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for us and Huntsman International for stock-based compensation arrangements was $5 million and $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

STOCK OPTIONS

        The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees' expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods

        The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $9.89 per option. As of September 30, 2015, there was $14 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 1.8 years.

        The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately nil and $12 million, respectively.

NONVESTED SHARES

        Nonvested shares granted under the Stock Incentive Plan consist of restricted stock and performance 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.

        During the first quarter of 2015, we began issuing performance awards to certain employees. The fair value of each performance award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 30.0% and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 0.7%. For the performance awards granted in the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2015, a total of 393,952 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 29,645 vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. 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. This table does reflect 29,921 vested restricted stock units for which shares of common stock were issued in 2015.

        As of September 30, 2015, there was $26 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 1.8 years. The value of share awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $20 million and $19 million, respectively.

16. INCOME TAXES

        We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on an individual tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to

support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of our businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the applicable period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

        During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding income tax benefit of $5 million, primarily in Asia, and a net increase in unrecognized benefits and a corresponding income tax expense of $4 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 $85 million and $39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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 $85 million and $29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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.

17. NET INCOME PER SHARE

        Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income available to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities.

However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

18. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

        We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated and commodity chemical products. We have reported our operations through five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments and Additives.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        With respect to Huntsman Corporation, certain information set forth in this report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Huntsman International is a limited liability company, and, pursuant to Section 21E(b)(2)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements is inapplicable to it. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "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 management's examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

        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 referenced in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $7,967 million and $8,627 million, respectively.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Share Repurchase Program

        On September 29, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized our Company to repurchase up to $150 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs or by other means. The timing and actual number of any shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration

70


Table of Contents

date and repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued from time to time without prior notice. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not repurchase any shares of our outstanding common stock under the authorized repurchase program. We intend to begin repurchasing shares under this program beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.

OUTLOOK

        We continue to focus on improvement of our core businesses. In addition, we have announced strategic priorities of free cash flow generation, with reductions in planned capital expenditures and our restructuring initiatives, and the separation of our Pigments and Additives segment.

        Our earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate movements. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various currencies, including the primary European currencies which have recently been volatile, while our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Generally, a decline in the value of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the reported profitability of our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Pigments and Additives segments. A decline in the value of the Pound Sterling relative to the U.S. dollar will increase the reported profitability of our Pigments and Additives segment and an increase in the value of the Swiss Franc relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the reported profitability of our Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments. We are also exposed to other foreign currencies including the Chinese Renminbi, the Indian Rupiah, the Brazilian Real, the Malaysian Ringgit and the Thai Baht. In general, a decline in the value of these currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar will reduce our reported profitability. We estimate a negative adjusted EBITDA impact from changes in exchange rates of approximately $43 million and $113 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014, respectively.

        The following is a summary of the key trends expected to impact our business segments:

Polyurethanes:

Performance Products:

Advanced Materials:

71


Table of Contents

Textile Effects:

Pigments and Additives:

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

        We expect our full year 2015 tax rate to be approximately 43% 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%.

NM—Not Meaningful

(1)
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, as appropriate, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: (a) acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting adjustments; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (g) plant incident remediation costs; and (h) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs.

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) impact of certain foreign tax credit elections; (c) loss from discontinued operations; (d) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (g) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (h) plant incident remediation costs; and (i) 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.

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.

Polyurethanes

        The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was primarily due lower average selling prices, offset in part by higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. PO/MTBE average selling prices decreased in line with lower pricing for high octane gasoline. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased primarily as a result of not experiencing an unplanned manufacturing disruption at our Port Neches, Texas facility as we did in the third quarter of 2014. MDI sales volumes decreased due to lower demand in the Asian and Americas regions, offset in part by growth in the European region. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies and lower MDI sales volumes, partially offset by higher MDI margins and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Polyurethanes segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $1 million and $16 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Performance Products

        The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, offset in part 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 against major European currencies. Sales volumes increased primarily due to higher sales volumes of ethylene oxide intermediates. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins in our upstream intermediate business, offset in part by higher margins in our amines and maleic anhydride businesses. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Performance Products segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $1 million and $4 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Advanced Materials

        The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of certain business, customer destocking and competitive pressure. Average selling prices increased on a local currency basis in the Americas region due to certain price increase initiatives and our focus on higher value markets; overall this was more than offset by the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $1 million and $5 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Textile Effects

        The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major international currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of certain less profitable business and challenging market conditions. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins from our focus on higher value business and lower fixed costs and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs of $4 million and $11 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Pigments and Additives

        The increase in revenues in our Pigments and Additives segment for three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to the impact of the Rockwood Acquisition. Other than the impact of the Rockwood Acquisition, average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of high titanium dioxide industry inventory levels and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily as a result of lower end-use demand and the impact of a nitrogen tank explosion owned and operated by a third party at our Uerdingen, Germany facility, which disrupted our

manufacturing. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margin for titanium dioxide, higher acquisition expenses and integration costs, higher restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and the negative impact from the manufacturing disruption at our Uerdingen, Germany facility. The total impact from the manufacturing disruption was approximately $8 million—approximately $5 million related to lost sales volumes and unabsorbed fixed costs and approximately $3 million related to clean up costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded acquisition expenses and integration costs of $9 million and $6 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Pigments and Additives segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $5 million and nil, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

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 September 30, 2015, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation decreased by $8 million to a loss of $60 million from a loss of $52 million for the same period in 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International decreased by $8 million to a loss of $61 million from a loss of $53 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from an $8 million decrease in EBITDA from benzene sales ($4 million of loss in 2015 compared to $4 million of income in 2014), a $4 million increase in unallocated foreign currency exchange loss ($10 million of loss in 2015 compared to $6 million of loss in 2014), and a $8 million increase in loss on early extinguishment of debt ($8 million of loss in 2015 compared to nil in 2014). For more information regarding the loss on early extinguishment of debt, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The decrease in EBITDA was partially offset by a $6 million decrease in unallocated corporate overhead ($40 million of expense in 2015 compared to $46 million of expense in 2014), a $1 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation income ($1 million of income in 2015 compared to nil in 2014), and a $2 million decrease in restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs ($2 million of expense in 2015 compared to $4 million of expense in 2014). For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Polyurethanes

        The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was primarily due to a planned maintenance outage at our PO/MTBE facility in Port Neches, Texas that commenced in the first quarter of 2015 and extended into the second quarter of 2015. PO/MTBE sales volumes decreased due to the planned maintenance outage at our PO/MTBE facility in Port Neches, Texas. MDI sales volumes decreased due to a decrease in demand in the Asian region across most major markets. PO/MTBE average selling prices decreased following lower pricing for high octane gasoline. MDI average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. The decrease in segment EBITDA was due to lower PO/MTBE earnings, partially offset by lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. We estimate the reduction to segment EBITDA resulting from the planned PO/MTBE maintenance outage to be approximately $90 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Polyurethanes segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $16 million and $18 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Performance Products

        The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was due to lower average selling prices and lower 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 against major European currencies. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the sale of our European commodity surfactants business in the second quarter of 2014. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins, resulting from lower raw material costs, and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, offset in part by lower sales volumes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our Performance Products segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $2 million and $27 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

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 nine months ended September 30, 2015, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation decreased by $7 million to a loss of $153 million from a loss of $146 million for the same period in 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International decreased by $7 million to a loss of $155 million from a loss of $148 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from a $16 million decrease in EBITDA from benzene sales ($8 million of loss in 2015 compared to $8 million of income in 2014), a $5 million increase in unallocated foreign currency exchange loss ($11 million of loss in 2015 compared to $6 million of loss in 2014), and a $31 million increase in loss on early extinguishment of debt ($31 million loss in 2015 compared to nil in 2014). For more information concerning the loss on early extinguishment of debt, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an increase in repayments of long-term debt, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt during the 2015 period as compared to the 2014 period. On March 31, 2015, we issued €300 million (approximately $326 million) aggregate principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes. On April 17, 2015, we used the net proceeds of this offering to redeem $289 million ($294 million carrying value) of our 2021 Senior Subordinated Notes and redeemed the remaining $195 million ($198 million carrying value) of our 2021 Senior Subordinated Notes during the third quarter of 2015.

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.

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of September 30, 2015, our 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, our 2014 Term Loan, and our Term Loan C as follows (dollars in millions):

On August 10, 2015, we entered into the Credit Agreement. The Amendment extends the stated maturity date of $773 million aggregate principal amount of our Extended Term Loan B and Extended Term Loan B—Series 2 from April 19, 2017 to April 19, 2019 and increases the interest rate margin with respect to the 2015 Extended Term Loan B to LIBOR plus 3.00%.

(3)
The 2014 Term Loan is subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor.

(4)
The applicable interest rate of the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of September 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balances under the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 3%.

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our 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.

A/R Programs

        Our A/R Programs are structured so that we transfer certain of our trade receivables to the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE in transactions intended to be true sales or true contributions. The receivables collateralize debt incurred by the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE. Information regarding our A/R Programs as of September 30, 2015 was as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

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

(2)
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 September 30, 2015, we had approximately $7 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into amendments to our A/R Programs that, among other things, extend the scheduled commitment termination dates and reduce the applicable borrowing margins. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $463 million and $472 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

Table of Contents

proceeds of this offering to redeem $289 million ($294 million carrying value) of its 2021 Senior Subordinated Notes.

        The 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.25% per year, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, and are due on April 1, 2025. Huntsman International may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to January 1, 2025 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

        The 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2025 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Huntsman International and are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors. The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of nonguarantor subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2025 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holder's notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        As of September 30, 2015, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $148 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. On April 29, 2015, Arabian Amines Company obtained a waiver of certain financial covenants from the lender as well as a waiver of prior noncompliance under the debt financing agreements. As of September 30, 2015, Arabian Amines Company is in compliance with its debt financing arrangements and we have classified $16 million as current debt and $132 million as long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). We do not guarantee these loan commitments and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations.

Other Debt

        On July 24, 2015, HPS, our consolidated splitting joint venture, entered into a financing arrangement to fund the construction of our MDI plant in China. As part of the financing, HPS has secured commitments of a RMB 669 million (approximately $105 million) term loan and a RMB 423 million (approximately $66 million) working capital facility. These facilities are unsecured, and we do not provide a guarantee of these loan commitments. We expect to begin drawing down on these facilities by the end of the year.

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of September 30, 2015, we had a loan of $895 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of September 30, 2015 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of September 30, 2015, 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 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.

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 September 30, 2015, we had $1,215 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $437 million in cash and restricted cash, $609 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $169 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:

        As of September 30, 2015, we had $158 million classified as current portion of debt, including $49 million of our Term Loan C facility due June 2016, debt at our variable interest entities of $19 million, a short term borrowing facility in China totaling $29 million, our scheduled Senior Credit Facilities amortization payments totaling $25 million and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $36 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, we intend to renew or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the current period.

        As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $339 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

95


Table of Contents

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 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

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, 2014.

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.

96


Table of Contents

        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 cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $208 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        Huntsman International has entered into several interest rate contracts to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. These swaps 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 loss (dollars in millions):

September 30, 2015
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 % 2 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 5. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2015 was $24 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the swap was $3 million and was recorded in noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil each 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 September 30, 2015, the fair value of this swap was $28 million and was recorded in noncurrent assets.

        On March 17, 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.

        We 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

97


Table of Contents

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. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

        We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2015, we have designated approximately €626 million (approximately $699 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $4 million and $61 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income (unaudited). As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately €1,291 million (approximately $1,440 million) in net euro assets.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 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.
