20. 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 four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. We have organized our business and derived our operating segments around differences in product lines. Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, we reported the results of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Sale of Chemical Intermediates Businesses.” In addition, in connection with the Venator IPO in August 2017, we separated Venator and, beginning in the third quarter of 2017, we reported the results of operations of Venator as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. On December 3, 2018, we further reduced our remaining investment in Venator by the sale of Venator ordinary shares which allowed us to deconsolidate Venator and account for our remaining interest in Venator as an equity method investment using the fair value option post deconsolidation. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions —Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator.”

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


Segment		Products
Polyurethanes		MDI, PO, polyols, PG, TPU, aniline and MTBE
Performance Products		Specialty amines, ethyleneamines, maleic anhydride 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

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 our reportable operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our Company as a whole. The revenues and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for each of our reportable operating segments are as follows (dollars in millions):

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 the chief operating decision maker uses to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their financial performance. 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) merger costs; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) noncontrolling interest of discontinued operations; (e) fair value adjustments to Venator investment; (f) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (g) certain legal settlements and related income (expenses); (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i) gain (loss) on sale of assets; (j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (k) plant incident remediation costs; (l) U.S. Tax Reform Act impact on noncontrolling interest; and (m) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition credits (costs).

(2) 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 and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.
