27. 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. During the first quarter of 2010, we began reporting our LIFO inventory valuation reserves as part of Corporate and other; these reserves were previously reported in our Performance Products segment. During the third quarter of 2010, we began reporting the amounts outstanding under the A/R Programs and certain purchase accounting adjustments as part of our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments segments' assets. These amounts were previously reported as Corporate and other segment assets. In addition, we eliminated intercompany balances from the assets of each reportable segment. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we began reporting the (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the reporting segment to which the subsidiary relates. Previously, (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was reported in our Corporate and other segment. All relevant information for prior periods has been reclassified to reflect these changes.

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

        The major products of each reportable operating segment are as follows:

Segment
  Products
Polyurethanes   MDI, PO, polyols, PG, TPU, aniline and MTBE
Performance Products   amines, surfactants, LAB, maleic anhydride, other performance chemicals, EG, olefins and technology licenses
Advanced Materials   epoxy resin compounds and formulations; cross-linking, matting and curing agents; epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane- based adhesives and tooling resin formulations
Textile Effects   textile chemicals and dyes
Pigments   titanium dioxide

        Sales between segments are generally recognized at external market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. We use EBITDA to measure the financial performance of our global business units and for reporting the results of our operating segments. This measure includes all operating items relating to the businesses. The EBITDA of operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our Company as a whole. The revenues and EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments are as follows (dollars in millions):
