19. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

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