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. 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 and the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in our 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 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 consolidation. 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, polyols, TPU and aniline

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. We use adjusted 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 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):

(1)         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. 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 and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (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) gain on sale of businesses/assets; (i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (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, nonoperating income and expense, benzene sales and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.
