Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported third quarter 2014 results with revenues of $2,884 million and adjusted EBITDA of $356 million.
Peter R. Huntsman, our President and CEO, commented:
"We continue to see growing demand for key products such as MDI polyurethanes, amines, maleic, aerospace composites and environmentally friendly textile dyes and chemicals. Third quarter EBITDA from these products increased more than $30 million compared to the prior year. The strength in our earnings is underpinned by broad earnings growth from multiple products across our divisions.
Recently, we successfully completed the acquisition of Rockwood's performance additives and specialty titanium dioxide businesses. We have plans to deliver $130 million of annual synergies by the middle of 2016 at which point we believe this acquisition will yield approximately $0.70 of earnings per share to shareholders."
Segment Analysis for 3Q14 Compared to 3Q13
Polyurethanes
The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to improved MDI sales partially offset by lower PO/MTBE sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased in the Americas and European regions, partially offset by lower component pricing in China. PO/MTBE average selling prices were essentially unchanged. MDI sales volumes increased 5% primarily as a result of improved demand in the Americas and Asian regions and across most major markets. PO/MTBE sales volumes decreased primarily as a result of an unplanned manufacturing disruption at our Port Neches, Texas facility in the third quarter of 2014 which resulted in lower EBITDA of approximately $30 million. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was due to lower PO/MTBE earnings, partially offset by higher MDI earnings.
Performance Products
The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was due to lower sales volumes partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the sale of our European surfactants business in the second quarter of 2014 partially offset by increased sales volumes in amines and maleic anhydride. Average selling prices increased in response to higher raw materials costs and continued strong market conditions for amines, maleic anhydride and specialty surfactants. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins.
Advanced Materials
Revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 were essentially unchanged. Average selling prices increased in all regions and across most markets primarily due to certain price increase initiatives and our focus on higher value markets. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to our restructuring efforts. During the fourth quarter of 2013 we closed two of our base resins production units as we focus on higher value markets such as aerospace, transportation and industrial, and coatings and construction. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins and improved sales mix as a result of our restructuring efforts.
Textile Effects
The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and improved sales mix. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins as a result of our restructuring efforts partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs.
Pigments
The increase in revenues in our Pigments division for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily as a result of higher end-use demand, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of high industry inventory levels. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes.
Corporate, LIFO and Other
Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and Other decreased by $5 million to a loss of $49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a loss of $44 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to $6 million of unallocated foreign currency exchange losses in 2014 primarily attributable to the decline in value of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt
As of September 30, 2014, we had $1,365 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $1,048 million at December 31, 2013.
On October 1, 2014, we successfully completed the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood for $1.04 billion in cash and assumed certain unfunded European pension liabilities. The acquisition was funded by a new $1.2 billion term loan due 2021.
In August 2014, we increased the capacity of our existing revolving credit facility by $200 million to $600 million. In October 2014, our revolving credit facility was increased by an additional $25 million.
Total capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $137 million. We expect to spend approximately $550 million on capital expenditures in 2014, net of reimbursements and including approximately $50 million in the fourth quarter for the newly acquired Rockwood businesses and the Augusta, Georgia color pigments facility which is under construction.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, assets from our 1999 acquisition of Imperial Chemical Industries became fully depreciated. Including the impact from the newly acquired Rockwood businesses we expect our fourth quarter depreciation to be approximately $105 million.
Income Taxes
During the three months ended September 30, 2014 we recorded an income tax benefit of $40 million and paid $13 million in cash for income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 29%.
During the third quarter of 2014 as a result of extensive planning efforts, we made elections on our U.S. tax returns from 2008 through 2013 which allowed us to utilize substantially all of our U.S. foreign tax credits. As a result of utilizing these assets that had been subject to a valuation allowance, we recognized a one-time income tax benefit of $94 million.
We expect our full year 2014 adjusted effective tax rate to be approximately 30% including the impact of the Rockwood acquisition.

Footnotes
(1) We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business. We provide adjusted net income because we feel it provides meaningful insight for the investment community into the performance of our business. We believe that net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") that is most directly comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income. Additional information with respect to our use of each of these financial measures follows:
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation is set forth in Table 5 above.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: acquisition expenses and integration costs; loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; EBITDA from discontinued operations; loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; loss on early extinguishment of debt; extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; certain legal settlements and related expenses; amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits). The reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA is set forth in Table 4 above.
Adjusted net income (loss) is computed by eliminating the after tax impact of the following items from net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation: acquisition expenses and integration costs; impact of certain foreign tax credit elections; loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; loss (income) from discontinued operations; discount amortization on settlement financing associated with the terminated merger; loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; loss on early extinguishment of debt; extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; certain legal settlements and related expenses; amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits). We do not adjust for changes in tax valuation allowances because we do not believe it provides more meaningful information than is provided under GAAP. The reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders is set forth in Table 4 above.
(2) During the first quarter 2010 we closed our Australian styrenics operations; results from this business are treated as discontinued operations.
