Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

As previously reported, on August 8, 2017, Huntsman Corporation (“Huntsman”), separated its Titanium Dioxide and Performance Additives business (the “P&A Business”) through an initial public offering of ordinary shares of Venator Materials PLC (“Venator”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman. Huntsman began to report the P&A Business as discontinued operations when it reported its third quarter 2017 operating results.

 

Furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 are Huntsman’s unaudited results of operations, an unaudited reconciliation of US GAAP to non-GAAP measures, unaudited selected balance sheet items, unaudited summarized statements of cash flows and unaudited free cash flow reporting the P&A Business as discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the first and second quarters of 2017.

 

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 shall in no way be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, except if Huntsman specifically incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
