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 five operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments and Additives. 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

 

basic liquid and solid epoxy resins; specialty resin compounds; cross‑linking, matting and curing agents; epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane‑based formulations

Textile Effects

 

textile chemicals, dyes and digital inks

Pigments and Additives

 

titanium dioxide, functional additives, color pigments, timber treatment and water treatment chemicals

 

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

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, we use segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of each segment’s profit or loss. We believe that segment adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects what management uses to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their financial performance. We have recast the measure of each segment’s profit or loss in the prior periods disclosed to reflect segment adjusted EBITDA.

 

Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and certain Corporate and other items, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (d) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (e) net plant incident costs; (f) restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs; and (g) business separation expenses.

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.
