HUNTSMAN RELEASES FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS;

REPORTS STRONG EARNINGS IN DIFFERENTIATED BUSINESSES

 

First quarter 2015 Highlights

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA was $285 million compared to $329 million in the prior year period.  The decrease was primarily attributable to an estimated adjusted EBITDA impact of approximately $60 million from a planned maintenance outage at our Port Neches, Texas facility, partially offset by earnings from the performance additives and titanium dioxide businesses that we acquired from Rockwood.

 

·                  Adjusted diluted income per share was $0.40 compared to $0.43 in the prior year period.

 

·                  Net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation was $5 million compared to net income of $54 million in the prior year period.

 

·                  The stronger U.S. dollar reduced adjusted EBITDA by an estimated $17 million compared to the prior year period.

The Woodlands, TX — Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported first quarter 2015 results with revenues of $2,589 million and adjusted EBITDA of $285 million.

 

Peter R. Huntsman, our President and CEO, commented:

 

“I am pleased with the strong first quarter earnings demonstrated by our differentiated businesses which include MDI urethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects.  EBITDA from these businesses improved approximately $30 million compared to the prior year.  We continue to see strength in the markets we are serving and are encouraged by future growth prospects.

 

Business conditions remain challenging in the titanium dioxide market; however I am encouraged that our earnings improved approximately $10 million compared to the fourth quarter.  We have taken aggressive self- help measures to deliver $175 million of expected incremental synergies and restructuring savings by the middle of 2016.  I see a clear path forward to an improvement in earnings within our Pigments and Additives business.

 

During the first quarter we completed planned maintenance at our PO/MTBE facility in Port Neches, Texas.  We experienced some delays in the restart of the facility during April.  We are currently operating at normal rates and estimate the EBITDA impact from the delayed startup to be approximately $35 million in the second quarter.”

 

Segment Analysis for 1Q15 Compared to 1Q14

 

Polyurethanes

 

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to a scheduled maintenance outage at our PO/MTBE facility in Port Neches, Texas in the first quarter of 2015.  MDI sales volumes increased due to improved demand in the Americas and European regions and across most major markets.  PO/MTBE sales volumes decreased due to the scheduled maintenance outage.  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 Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower PO/MTBE earnings, partially offset by higher MDI contribution margins.  We estimate the reduction to Adjusted EBITDA from the planned PO/MTBE maintenance outage to be approximately $60 million in the first quarter 2015.

 

Performance Products

 

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices.  Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the sale of our European surfactants business in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by increased sales volumes in amines and maleic anhydride.  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 increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher contribution margins in our amines and maleic anhydride businesses.

 

Advanced Materials

 

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to lower sales volumes.  Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of certain business and our restructuring efforts.  Average selling prices increased in all regions on a local currency basis and across most markets primarily due to certain price increase initiatives and our focus on higher value markets but was offset by the foreign currency exchange

impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies.  The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins from our focus on higher value business and lower fixed costs.

 

Textile Effects

 

The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to lower sales volumes.  Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business and destocking within the fibers and dyes supply chain.  Average selling prices increased due to the implementation of price increases but was offset by the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies.  The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins from our focus on higher value business and lower fixed costs.

 

Pigments and Additives

 

Pro forma for the acquisition of Rockwood Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses, revenues decreased in our Pigments and Additives division for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices.  Sales volumes decreased primarily as a result of lower end use demand in Europe which is our largest market.  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 currenciesThe decrease in pro forma adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins for titanium dioxide.

 

Corporate, LIFO and Other

 

Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and Other increased by $7 million to a loss of $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a loss of $44 million for the same period in 2014.  The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of a net benefit from LIFO inventory valuation income and loss from benzene sales of $7 million.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had $1,806 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $1,601 million at December 31, 2014.

 

On March 31, 2015 we issued €300 million (approximately $326 million) of 4.25% senior notes due 2025.  We used the proceeds to redeem $289 million of our outstanding 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2021 and pay associated accrued interest in April.  We expect to save approximately $11 million in annual interest expense as a result of this refinancing.

 

Total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $149 million.  We expect to spend approximately $525 million on base capital expenditures in 2015, net of reimbursements.  In addition, in 2015 we expect to spend approximately $100 million combined on our new Chinese MDI facility, the completion of our Augusta, Georgia color pigments facility and replacement of Rockwood computer systems.

 

Based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase accounting for the Rockwood Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses; we expect our annual depreciation and amortization rate to be approximately $400 million.

 

Income Taxes

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded an income tax expense of $2 million and paid $11 million in cash for income taxes.  Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 25%.

 

We expect our long term adjusted effective tax rate to be approximately 30%.

(1)   We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business.  We provide adjusted net income because we feel it provides meaningful insight for the investment community into the performance of our business.  We believe that net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) that is most directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income.  Additional information with respect to our use of each of these financial measures follows:

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is set forth in Table 5 above.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA:  (a) acquisition and integration expenses, purchase accounting adjustments; (b) loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; (g) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and (i) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits).  The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA is set forth in Table 4 above.

 

Adjusted net income (loss) is computed by eliminating the after tax impact of the following items from net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation: (a) acquisition and integration expenses, purchase accounting adjustments; (b) impact of certain foreign tax credit elections; (c) loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; (d) loss (income) from discontinued operations; (e) discount amortization on settlement financing associated with the terminated merger; (f) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (g) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (h) extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; (i) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and (k) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits).   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.  The reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders is set forth in Table 4 above.

 

(2)   Pro forma adjusted as if it had occurred at the beginning of the relevant period to (a) include the October 1, 2014 acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood Holdings, Inc.; (b) to exclude the related sale of our TR52 product line — used in printing inks — to Henan Billions Chemicals Co., Ltd. in December 2014; (c) to exclude the allocation of general corporate overhead by Rockwood.

 

(3)   During the first quarter 2010 we closed our Australian styrenics operations; results from this business are treated as discontinued operations.
