Polyurethanes

General

We are a leading global manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of polyurethane chemicals, including MDI products, polyols and TPU (each discussed in more detail below under “Products and Markets”). Polyurethane chemicals are used to produce rigid and flexible foams, as well as coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers. We focus on the higher-margin, higher-growth markets for differentiated MDI-based polyurethane systems and polyurethane component molecules. Volume growth in our Polyurethanes segment has been driven primarily by global economic activity and the continued substitution of MDI-based products for other materials across a broad range of applications. We operate three major polyurethane manufacturing facilities in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe and China. We also operate 26 strategically located downstream facilities, of which 17 are polyurethane formulation facilities, commonly referred to in the chemical industry as “systems houses”. Our systems houses are located in close proximity to our customers worldwide, which enables us to focus on customer support, technical service and a differentiated product offering. We also operate two specialty polyester polyol manufacturing facilities focused on the insulation market, three downstream TPU manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and China and two spray polyurethane foam (“SPF”) manufacturing sites located in the U.S. and Canada.

Our customers produce polyurethane-based products through the combination of an isocyanate, such as MDI, with polyols, which are derived largely from PO. We are able to produce over 2,500 distinct MDI-based polyurethane products by modifying the MDI molecule through varying the proportion and type of polyol used and by introducing other chemical additives to our MDI formulations. As a result, polyurethane products, especially those derived from MDI, are continuing to replace traditional products in a wide range of end-use markets, including insulation in construction and cold chain, cushioning for automotive and furniture, coatings, adhesives, wood binders for construction and furniture, footwear and other specialized engineering applications.

We operate a world-scale integrated polyurethane formulations facility and a world-scale research and development campus in China to service our customers in the critical Chinese market, the largest MDI market in the world, and we will support the long-term demand growth that we believe this region will continue to experience. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with Sinopec to form a joint venture to build and operate a world-scale PO/MTBE plant in Nanjing, China utilizing proprietary PO/MTBE manufacturing technology. PO is used in the manufacturing of polyurethane systems and MTBE is an oxygenate used in gasoline. We own a 49% interest in the joint venture and account for our interest in the joint venture as an equity method investment.

Huntsman Building Solutions (“HBS”) is a leading North American manufacturer and distributor of SPF insulation systems for residential and commercial applications. Our SPF products offer significant environmental benefits, as our proprietary manufacturing process transforms raw material from low quality PET plastic bottles into highly effective energy-saving polyurethane insulation. HBS offers attractive growth potential as energy efficiency standards and requirements increase globally and continue to shift towards a greener economy.

Products and Markets

MDI is used primarily in rigid foam applications and in a wide variety of customized, higher-value flexible foam as well as coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers. Polyols, including polyether and polyester polyols, are used in conjunction with MDI in rigid foam, flexible foam and other non-foam applications. The following chart illustrates the range of product types and end uses for polyurethane chemicals. We produce MDI, polyols and TPU products and do not produce TDI products.

3

Polyurethane chemicals are sold to customers who combine the chemicals to produce polyurethane-based products. Customers will use either polyurethane component molecules produced for mass sales or polyurethane systems tailored to specific requirements. By varying the blend, additives and specifications of the polyurethane chemicals, manufacturers are able to develop and produce a breadth and variety of polyurethane-based products.

MDI. MDI is an aromatic diisocyanate molecule used in the manufacture of polyurethane-based products. MDI can be used to make polyurethanes with a broad range of properties and can therefore be used in a wide range of applications. We believe that MDI and formulated MDI systems, which combine MDI and polyols, will continue to grow at a multiple of global GDP driven by the megatrends of energy management, food preservation, demographics and urbanization/transportation. MDI offers key products benefits of energy efficiency, comfort and durability aligned with these megatrends. We believe that MDI and formulated MDI systems will continue to substitute for alternative materials, such as fiberglass in insulation, phenol formaldehyde in wood binders and TDI in automotive and furniture. Specialty cushioning and insulation applications, thermoplastic polyurethanes and adhesives and coatings will further contribute to the continued growth of MDI. MDI experiences some seasonality in its sales reflecting its exposure to seasonal construction-related end markets, such as insulation and composite wood products. Sales generally peak during the spring and summer months in the northern hemisphere, resulting in greater sales volumes during the second and third quarters of the year.

Polyols. Polyols are combined with MDI and other isocyanates to create a broad spectrum of formulated polyurethane systems. Demand for specialty polyols has been growing at approximately the same rate at which MDI consumption has grown.

TPU. TPU is a high-quality, fully formulated thermal plastic derived from the reaction of MDI or an aliphatic isocyanate with polyols to produce unique qualities such as durability, flexibility, strength, abrasion-resistance, shock absorbency and chemical resistance. We can tailor the performance characteristics of TPU to help meet the specific requirements of our customers. TPU is used in injection molding and small components for the automotive and footwear industries. It is also extruded into films for apparel, wires and cables for industrial use and in a wide variety of applications in the coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers markets.

Other. Other sales consist primarily of aniline, benzene, nitrobenzene and other co-products, which all are used primarily to manufacture MDI. The majority of our aniline is consumed internally with some sold to third parties. We believe that the lack of a significant spot market for aniline means that in order to remain competitive, MDI manufacturers must either be integrated with an aniline manufacturing facility or have long-term, cost-competitive aniline supply contracts.

Our strategy is focused on growing our differentiated product offering (differentiated MDI and polyols, formulated MDI-based systems and TPU), which requires a greater emphasis on formulating capability and technical solutions to help our downstream customers meet the desired effect required in their applications. The diagram below provides an overview of how we leverage our technology and experience with the MDI splitter by transforming crude MDI into differentiated higher value systems and markets.

Sales and Marketing

We market our polyurethane chemicals to over 6,300 customers in more than 90 countries. Our sales, marketing and technical resources are organized to support major regional markets and key end-use markets, some of which require a coordinated global approach, such as key accounts across the automotive and elastomers markets. These regional key end-use markets include our insulation businesses, footwear, furniture and other construction and industrial markets. We sell both directly and indirectly to customers, the latter via a network of distributors and agents who in turn sell our products to customers who cannot be served as cost effectively by our internal sales groups.

We provide a wide variety of polyurethane solutions as components (i.e., the isocyanate or the polyol) or in the form of “systems”, in which we provide the total isocyanate and polyol formulation to our customers. Our ability to deliver a range of polyurethane solutions and technical support, which can be tailored for the needs of our customers, is critical to our long-term success. We have strategically located our downstream polyurethane systems houses close to our customers, enabling us to focus on customer support and technical service. We believe this customer support and technical service system contributes to customer retention and also provides opportunities for identifying further product and service needs of customers.

Our strategy is to grow the capabilities of our downstream facilities both organically and inorganically. As a result, we have made a number of “bolt-on” acquisitions in the last decade to expand our downstream footprint and align with our strategic intent. Along with this, we continuously evaluate our global footprint to better utilize our assets and systems houses while providing strong customer support and technical service.

We believe that the extensive market knowledge and industry experience of our sales teams and technical experts, in combination with our strong emphasis on customer relationships, have facilitated our ability to establish and maintain long-term customer supply positions. Our sales strategy is to continue to increase sales to existing customers and to attract new customers by providing innovative solutions, quality products, reliable supply, competitive prices and superior customer service.

Manufacturing and Operations

Our world-scale MDI production facilities are located in Geismar, Louisiana; Rotterdam, the Netherlands; and Caojing, China. These facilities receive aniline, which is a primary material used in the production of MDI, from our facilities and third-party suppliers. We believe that this relative scale and product integration of our large facilities is necessary to provide cost competitiveness in MDI production. At our Geismar, Rotterdam and Caojing facilities we utilize sophisticated proprietary technology to produce MDI. This technology contributes to our position as a low-cost MDI producer. Our global production capacity of MDI, polyols and TPU is approximately 2.8 billion pounds, 0.7 billion pounds and 0.1 billion pounds, respectively.

Key Joint Ventures

Rubicon Joint Venture. Lanxess AG (“Lanxess”) is our joint venture partner in Rubicon LLC (“Rubicon”), which owns aniline, nitrobenzene and DPA manufacturing facilities in Geismar, Louisiana. We are entitled to approximately 78% of the nitrobenzene and aniline production capacity of Rubicon, and Lanxess is entitled to 100% of the DPA production. In addition to operating the joint venture’s aniline, nitrobenzene and DPA facilities, Rubicon operates our wholly-owned MDI, polyol and maleic anhydride facilities at Geismar and is responsible for providing other auxiliary services to the entire Geismar complex. As a result of this joint venture, we are able to achieve greater scale and lower costs for our products than we would otherwise have been able to obtain. Rubicon is consolidated in our financial statements.

Chinese MDI Joint Venture. On January 31, 2024, we completed the planned separation and acquisition of assets of Shanghai Liengheng Isocyanate Investment BV (“SLIC”), our manufacturing joint venture with BASF and three Chinese chemical companies. Following the separation, we now operate an independent manufacturing facility at our site in Caojing, China producing crude MDI. This facility is part of our existing Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai Ltd. (“HPS”), site, which is our splitting joint venture with Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Company, Ltd that also manufactures pure MDI, polymeric MDI, MDI variants and formulated MDI systems. We own 70% of HPS and it is consolidated in our financial statements. For more information, see “Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Separation and Acquisition of Assets of SLIC Joint Venture” to our consolidated financial statements.

Chinese PO/MTBE Joint Venture. In November 2012, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Sinopec. The joint venture involved the construction and operation of a PO/MTBE facility in China. Under the joint venture agreement, we hold a 49% interest in the joint venture and Sinopec holds a 51% interest. We account for this investment under the equity method.

5

Raw Materials

The primary raw materials for MDI-based polyurethane chemicals are benzene, chlorine, caustic, carbon monoxide, nitric acid and formaldehyde. Benzene is a widely available commodity that we purchase from third parties to manufacture nitrobenzene and aniline, almost all of which we then use to produce MDI. Historically, benzene has been the largest component of our raw material costs. In recent years, the costs of natural gas-related raw materials in Europe have been volatile.

The primary raw material used in the production of polyols is PO, which we purchase in North America and Europe. The Chinese PO/MTBE joint venture supplies PO into our downstream China business. The strategic supply of PO gives us access to competitively priced PO and the opportunity to develop polyols that enhance our range of MDI products.

Competition

Our major competitors in the polyurethane chemicals market include BASF, Covestro, Dow, Lubrizol and Wanhua Chemical Group. While these competitors and others produce various types and quantities of polyurethane chemicals, we focus on MDI and MDI-based formulated polyurethane systems. Our downstream business is fragmented with different competitors in various markets and regions. Our competitors in downstream markets include Carlisle Construction Materials, Coim and Lubrizol. Our polyurethane chemicals business competes in two basic ways: (1) where price is the dominant element of competition, our polyurethane chemicals business differentiates itself by its high level of customer support, including cooperation on technical and safety matters; and (2) elsewhere, we compete on the basis of product performance, our ability to react quickly to changing customer needs and providing customers with innovative solutions to their needs.

Performance Products

General

Our Performance Products segment has leading global positions in the manufacture and sale of amines and maleic anhydride and serves a wide variety of consumer and industrial end markets. Our Performance Products segment is organized by region and product family: amines (both performance amines and ethyleneamines) as well as maleic anhydride.

We produce a wide range of amines in seven manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We believe we are the largest global producer of polyetheramines, the largest producer of 2-(2-amino ethoxy) ethanol (sold under our DGA^® brand), the largest global producer of the full range of ethyleneamines and a leading global producer of low emission polyurethane catalysts. We are the only producer and largest supplier of propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate in North America. We believe we are the largest producer of maleic anhydride outside of China and the second largest globally with three production facilities in North America and Europe.

Products and Markets

Amines. Amines are a family of intermediate chemicals that are produced by reacting ammonia, or an alkylamine, with various ethylene and propylene derivatives. Generally, amines are valued for their properties as a reactive agent, emulsifier, dispersant, solvent or corrosion inhibitor. Growth in demand for amines is highly correlated with GDP growth. However, certain segments of the amines market, such as polyetheramines, have historically grown at rates in excess of GDP growth due to new product development, technical innovation and end-use substitution. As amines are generally sold based upon the performance characteristics that they provide to customer-specific end-use applications, pricing does not generally fluctuate directly with movements in underlying raw materials. Our amines business is organized around the following product groups:

Product group	Applications
Polyetheramines	Epoxy composites, construction and flooring, paints and coatings, adhesives, fuel additives, agrochemicals, oilfield chemicals and pigment dispersion
Ethyleneamines	Chemical building block used in lubricant additives, epoxy hardeners, wet strength resins, oilfield chemicals, water treatment and fungicides
Diversified and specialty amines, including DGA™ Agent, JEFFCAT® catalysts and E-GRADE® specialty amines and carbonates	Gas treating, agrochemicals, polyurethane insulation and flexible foams, E-GRADE® specialty amines for semiconductor manufacturing and electrolytes for electric vehicle batteries

Polyetheramines are produced by reacting polyol with ammonia. They provide sophisticated performance characteristics as an additive in the manufacture of highly customized epoxy formulations, enabling customers to penetrate new markets and substitute for traditional curing materials.

Our ethyleneamines are manufactured by reacting EDC and caustic soda with ammonia to produce a range of various ethyleneamines homologues having different molecular weights. Most other producers utilize a reductive amination process, which yields a light slate of ethyleneamines. We believe our heavier slate of homologues allows access to a greater range of markets.

Our amines are used in a wide variety of mainly industrial applications, including composites, paints and coatings, fuel and lubricant additives, agrochemicals, gas treating, oilfield chemicals, polyurethane insulation and flexible foams, semiconductor manufacturing and solvents. Our amines customers include Afton, Bayer, Chevron Oronite, DuPont, Evonik, Infineum, Lubrizol, Olin, PPG and Quadra Chemicals.

Maleic Anhydride. Maleic anhydride is a highly versatile chemical intermediate used for products sold into construction, infrastructure, industrial and marine applications. Notably, maleic anhydride is used to produce unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), which are mainly used in the production of fiberglass reinforced resins. Maleic anhydride is also used in the production of lubricant additives as well as food additives and artificial sweeteners.

Product group	Applications
Maleic anhydride	Construction, lubricant additives, marine, automotive, agrochemicals, paper and food additives

Maleic anhydride is produced by oxidizing either benzene or normal butane using a catalyst. Our maleic anhydride technology is a proprietary fixed bed butane-based process with a solvent recovery and refining system. We believe that our process is superior in the areas of feedstock and energy efficiency and solvent recovery. The maleic anhydride-based route to BDO manufacture is currently the preferred process technology and is favored over the other routes, which utilize PO, butadiene or acetylene as feedstocks. As a result, the growth in demand for BDO supports growing demand for our maleic anhydride technology. Generally, changes in price have resulted from a combination of changes in industry capacity utilization and underlying raw material costs. Our maleic anhydride customers include Afton, BASF, Chevron Oronite, Infineum, Ingevity, Primient and Solenis.

Sales and Marketing

We sell approximately 250 products to over 850 customers globally through our regional sales and marketing organizations, which have extensive market knowledge, considerable chemical industry experience and well-established customer relationships.

In more specialty products for certain markets (e.g., coatings, fuel additives, epoxy-based composites, construction, automotive, polymer modification, energy and semiconductor manufacturing), our marketing efforts are focused on how our product offerings perform in customer applications. We believe that this approach enhances the value of our product offerings and creates opportunities for ongoing differentiation in our development activities with our customers.

We provide extensive pre- and post-sales technical service support to our customers. Our research and development function creates solutions to meet our customers unique and changing requirements. These technical professionals interact closely with our marketing managers and business leadership teams to help guide future offerings and market approach strategies. In addition to our focused direct sales efforts, we maintain an extensive global network of distributors and agents that also sell our products. These distributors and agents typically promote our products to smaller end-use customers who cannot be served as cost effectively by our direct sales forces.

Manufacturing and Operations

Our Performance Products segment has the capacity to produce a variety of products at 10 manufacturing locations in North America, EAME and APAC. Our global production capacity of amines is approximately 0.9 billion pounds and our North America and EAME production capacity of maleic anhydride is approximately 0.6 billion pounds.

Our amines facilities are located globally. These facilities have a competitive cost base and use modern manufacturing units that allow for flexibility in production capabilities and technical innovation.

Several of our facilities are located within large integrated petrochemical manufacturing complexes. We believe this results in greater scale and lower costs for our products than we would be able to obtain if these facilities were standalone operations. These include our maleic anhydride facilities in Pensacola, Florida, Geismar, Louisiana and Moers, Germany; our amines facilities in Freeport, Texas and Port Neches, Texas; and the amines facility of Arabian Amines Company (“AAC”), our consolidated manufacturing joint venture with the Zamil Group in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

Joint Venture

We consolidate the results of AAC, our 50%-owned manufacturing joint venture with the Zamil Group. AAC operates an ethyleneamines manufacturing plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The plant has an approximate annual capacity of 70 million pounds. We purchase and then market all the production from this joint venture.

Raw Materials

The main raw materials used in the production of our amines are EO, PO, glycols, EDC, caustic soda, ammonia, hydrogen, methylamines, and acrylonitrile. Most of these raw materials are available from multiple sources in the merchant market at competitive prices.

Maleic anhydride is produced by the reaction of normal butane with oxygen. The principal raw material is normal butane, which is purchased pursuant to long-term contracts and delivered to our Pensacola, Florida site by barge, to our facility in Geismar, Louisiana via pipeline and to our Moers, Germany site by railcar.

Competition

There are a small number of competitors for many of our amines due to the considerable customization of product formulations, the proprietary nature of many of our product applications and manufacturing processes and the relatively high research and development and technical costs involved. Our global competitors include BASF, Delamine, Dow, Evonik, Nouryon and Tosoh. We compete primarily based on product performance, new product innovation and price.

In our maleic anhydride market, we compete primarily based on price, customer service, technical support, reliability of supply and logistics management. Our competitors include AOC, Bartek, INEOS, Lanxess and Polynt-Reichhold. In our maleic anhydride technology licensing market, our primary competitor is Conser. We compete primarily based on technological performance and service.

Sales and Marketing

We maintain multiple routes to market to service our diverse and fragmented customer base throughout the world. These routes to market range from using our own direct sales force, distribution to mass distribution. Our direct sales force focuses on engineering solutions for our major customers who purchase significant amount of product. We use specialist distributors to augment our sales effort in niche markets and applications where we do not believe it is appropriate to develop direct sales resources. We use mass general distribution channels to sell our products into a wide range of general applications where technical expertise is less important, which reduces our overall selling expenses. We believe our use of multiple routes to market enables us to reach a broader customer base at an efficient cost.

We conduct sales activities through dedicated regional sales teams in EMEAI, Asia and the Americas. Our global customers are covered by key account managers who are familiar with the specific requirements of these customers. The management of long-standing customer relationships is critical to the sales and marketing process.

Manufacturing and Operations

We are a global business serving customers in three principal geographic regions: EAMEI, Asia and the Americas. In order to service our customers efficiently, we maintain both synthesis and formulations manufacturing plants around the world with a strategy of global, regional and local manufacturing employed to optimize the level of service and minimize the cost to our customers. 

We are currently completing the build and commissioning of a pilot plant in San Antonio, Texas specifically designed to produce high-value MIRALON® carbon nanomaterials, as well as clean hydrogen for sale into the hydrogen market. This pilot plant will demonstrate improved production capability and production of carbon at significantly higher volumes than has historically been produced at our Merrimack, New Hampshire research and development site. This reactor design will form the basis of a larger kiloton (carbon) scale commercial reactor, which will address the needs of markets such as battery additives and provide a commercial scale source of hydrogen for applications in chemical production and other process industries.

In our specialty nitrile latexes and carboxyl terminated acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer product lines, acrylonitrile and butadiene are the main raw materials purchased. For production of mercaptan curatives, we purchase polyols, epichlorohydrin and hydrogen sulfide. Raw material costs constitute a sizeable percentage of the costs for certain applications. We have supply contracts with a number of suppliers. The terms of our supply contracts vary, but in general, these contracts contain provisions that set forth the quantities of product to be supplied and purchased. Formula pricing is sometimes used if advantageous for the business.

Additionally, in our European operations, we produce some of our most important raw materials, such as BLR and its basic derivatives, which are the basic building blocks of many of our products. In the Americas and Asia, we procure BLR on the open market from a number of suppliers.

We consume certain amines produced by our Performance Products segment and isocyanates produced by our Polyurethanes segment, which we use to formulate our Advanced Materials products.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Proprietary protection of our processes, apparatuses and other technology and inventions is important to our businesses. We own approximately 2,610 unexpired patents and have approximately 970 patent applications (including provisionals) currently pending. While a presumption of validity exists with respect to issued U.S. patents, we cannot assure that any of our patents will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. Furthermore, we cannot assure the issuance of any pending patent application, or that if patents do issue, that these patents will provide meaningful protection against competitors or against competitive technologies. Additionally, our competitors or other third parties may obtain patents that restrict or preclude our ability to lawfully produce or sell our products in a competitive manner.

We also rely upon unpatented proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. There can be no assurance, however, that confidentiality and other agreements into which we enter and have entered will not be breached, that they will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, or that adequate remedies will be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of such trade secrets and know-how. In addition, there can be no assurance that others will not obtain knowledge of these trade secrets through independent development or other access by legal means.

10

In addition to our own patents and patent applications and proprietary trade secrets and know-how, we are a party to certain licensing arrangements and other agreements authorizing us to use trade secrets, know-how and related technology and/or operate within the scope of certain patents owned by other entities. We also have licensed or sub-licensed intellectual property rights to third parties.

We have associated brand names with a number of our products, and we have approximately 2,915 trademark registrations and 132 pending trademark applications globally. These registrations and applications include extensions of protection under the Madrid system for the international registration of marks. However, there can be no assurance that the trademark registrations will provide meaningful protection against the use of similar trademarks by competitors or that the value of our trademarks will not be diluted.

Because of the breadth and nature of our intellectual property rights and our business, we do not believe that any single intellectual property right (other than certain trademarks, for which we intend to maintain the applicable registrations) is material to our business. Moreover, we do not believe that the termination of intellectual property rights expected to occur over the next several years, either individually or in the aggregate, will materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 6,000 associates in our operations around the world. Approximately 2,000 of these employees are located in the U.S., while approximately 4,000 are located in other countries.

We believe our employees are the foundation of our success. Our overall talent acquisition and retention strategy is designed to attract and retain diverse and qualified candidates to meet our performance goals on an ongoing basis and enable the success of our Company. Our key areas of focus include:

Health and Safety: Our global health and safety programs are designed around dedicated environmental, health and safety (“EHS”) Standards and Procedures specifically tailored at the facility level to address the different jurisdictions and regulations, specific operating hazards and unique working environments. The Company’s objectives focus on regulatory compliance and protection of people and the environment. Compliance with the EHS Standards and Procedures are evaluated through site self-audits as well as regularly scheduled Corporate EHS audits. In addition, other management systems applicable to many of our sites include third party verification of Responsible Care® and ISO 14001. A key metric used to assess the safety performance of our operations is the ASTM 2920 Level 1 injury rate, which follows a uniform international method for recording occupational injuries and illnesses. In the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had injury rates of 0.13 and 0.21, respectively.

Ethics and Compliance: At Huntsman our commitment to our values of Honesty, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility unite us globally and fosters high ethical standards in our relationships with each other, with our customers and with all those we do business. Our Business Conduct Guidelines, along with the policies and procedures referenced within the guidelines, provide guidance for all employees on topics such as anti-corruption and bribery, anti-trust and competition law, discrimination including our policy on harassment and retaliation, privacy, appropriate use of company assets, protecting confidential information and reporting concerns and violations. The guidelines are used to reinforce our commitment to operating in a fair, honest, responsible and ethical manner and to emphasize the importance of having an open and welcoming environment in which all employees feel empowered to do what is right. Should potential violations of the guidelines, policies, procedures or the law occur, employees are encouraged to voice concerns promptly and are reminded that we do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who reports a potential violation in good faith. All employees are required to complete the training on the Business Conduct Guidelines annually, and our Chief Compliance Officer reports matters related to the Business Conduct Guidelines to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. 

Compensation and Benefits: Our policy is to competitively compensate our associates and to appropriately motivate associates to provide value to our shareholders. Our compensation philosophy is to align both short-term and long-term incentives with our strategic objectives and to take into account market forces, best practices, and the performance of our Company and the employee. We offer employees benefits that vary by country and are designed to meet or exceed local laws and to be competitive in the marketplace. Examples of benefits offered in the U.S. include a 401(k) plan with employer contributions, health benefits, business travel and life/disability insurance, supplemental voluntary insurance and paid time off.

Training and Talent Development: We are committed to the continued development of our workforce. We provide technical and leadership training to our associates, customers and suppliers who work for or with our products and services. Training is provided in a number of formats to accommodate the learner’s style, pace, location, technological knowledge and access.

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

General

We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and international laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to occupational health and safety, process safety, pollution, protection of the environment and natural resources, product management and distribution, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances, revocation. Actual or alleged violations of safety laws, environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations or product distribution, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, or injunctions limiting or prohibiting our operations altogether. In addition, some environmental laws may impose liability on a strict or joint and several basis. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or require us to modify our facilities or operations and make significant environmental compliance expenditures. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities. Information related to EHS matters may also be found in other areas of this report including “—Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Environmental Expenditures” and “Note 21. Environmental Health and Safety Matters” to our consolidated financial statements.

11

Environmental, Health and Safety Systems

We are committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable EHS legal requirements, and we have developed policies and management systems that are designed to identify the myriad EHS legal requirements applicable to our operations, enhance compliance with applicable legal requirements, improve the safety of our employees, contractors, community neighbors and customers and minimize the production and emission of wastes and other pollutants. We cannot guarantee, however, that these policies and systems will always be effective or that we will be able to manage EHS legal requirements without incurring substantial costs. Although EHS legal requirements are constantly changing and, for that reason, are frequently difficult to comply with, these EHS management systems are designed to assist us in our compliance goals while also fostering efficiency and improvement and reducing overall risk to us. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $30 million, $44 million and $36 million, respectively, and our estimated capital expenditures for EHS matters for 2024 is expected to be approximately $40 million.

Environmental Remediation

We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liabilities to investigate and clean up waste or contamination at our current or former facilities or facilities operated by third parties at which we may have disposed of waste or other materials. Similarly, we may incur costs for the cleanup of waste that was disposed of prior to the purchase of our businesses. Under some circumstances, the scope of our liabilities may extend to damages to natural resources.

In cases where our potential liabilities arise from historical contamination based on operations and other events occurring prior to our ownership of a business or specific facility, we frequently obtain an indemnity agreement from the prior owner addressing remediation liabilities arising from pre-closing conditions. We have successfully exercised our rights under these contractual covenants for a number of sites and, where applicable, mitigated our ultimate remediation liabilities. We cannot assure you, however, that the liabilities for all such matters subject to indemnity will be honored by prior owners or that our existing indemnities will be sufficient to cover our liabilities for such matters.

Based on available information and the indemnification rights we believe are likely to be available, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material effect on our financial statements. However, if such indemnities are not honored or do not fully cover the costs of investigation and remediation or we are required to contribute to such costs, then such expenditures may have a material effect on our financial statements. At the current time, we are unable to estimate the total cost, exclusive of indemnification benefits, to remediate contaminated sites.

Regulatory Matters

Greenhouse Gas Regulation and Climate Change 

Globally, our operations are increasingly subject to regulations that seek to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”), such as carbon dioxide and methane, which may be contributing to changes in the earth’s climate. At the Durban negotiations of the Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol in 2012, a limited group of nations, including the European Union (the “EU”), agreed to a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty that provides for reductions in GHG emissions. More significantly, the EU GHG Emissions Trading System (“ETS”), established pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce GHG emissions in the EU, continues in its fourth phase. The European Commission (the “EC”) established a market stability reserve that started operating in 2019 and addresses a surplus of allowances and improves the system’s resilience to major shocks by adjusting the supply of allowances to be auctioned. In addition, the EU has set a binding target to reduce domestic GHG emissions by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and a binding target to increase the share of renewable energy to at least 32% of the EU’s energy consumption by 2030. In July 2021, the EC proposed legislation to increase its GHG emission reduction target to at least 55% and the renewable energy target to 40%. In January 2024, the EC communicated support for a 90% reduction in GHG emissions by 2040.

Moreover, beginning in 2026, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive will mandate reporting of wide-ranging environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) data, which is estimated to affect a significant number of companies in the EU and foreign companies with EU operations—including some companies based in the U.S. Affected companies or their EU-based subsidiaries will be required to report on matters ranging from pollution to biodiversity, business conduct, and climate change. Failure to do so could result in financial liabilities, civil or criminal penalties, and reputational risks.

In addition, at the 2015 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, the U.S. and nearly 200 other nations entered into an international climate agreement, which went into effect in November 2016 (the “Paris Agreement”). Although the Paris Agreement does not create any binding obligations for nations to limit their GHG emissions, it does include pledges to voluntarily limit or reduce future emissions. The U.S. rejoined the Paris Agreement on February 19, 2021. In addition, in September 2021, U.S. President Biden publicly announced the Global Methane Pledge, a pact that aims to reduce global methane emissions at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030. Since its formal launch at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (“COP26”), over 100 countries have joined the Global Methane Pledge.

Domestic efforts to curb GHG emissions are being driven by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (the “EPA”) GHG regulations and similar programs of certain states. To the extent that our domestic operations are subject to the EPA’s GHG regulations, we may face increased capital and operating costs associated with new or expanded facilities. Significant expansions of our existing facilities or construction of new facilities may be subject to the federal Clean Air Act’s (the “CAA”) requirements for pollutants regulated under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V programs. Some of our facilities are also subject to the EPA’s Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, and any further regulation may increase our operational costs. In April of 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) proposed new rules regarding the reporting of GHG emissions and impacts of such emissions and climate change generally on businesses subject to SEC reporting requirements. These rules, if adopted, could result in additional costs to prepare financial statements and additional liability. It is uncertain at this time whether the rules, as proposed, will be adopted and go into effect.

Furthermore, in October 2023, the state of California enacted significant corporate climate disclosure legislation (S.B. 261) that will require annual reporting of GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3 in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol) for public and private companies with over $1 billion in gross annual revenue that are doing business in California. Phased-in disclosure requirements (and assurance) begin in 2026, covering the prior year. In addition, separate California legislation (S.B. 253) requires biennial climate risk reporting in accordance with the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (“TCFD”) recommendations by public and private companies with over $500 million in annual revenue that are doing business in California. First reports will need to be published on or before January 1, 2026. These California laws are currently subject to legal challenge, and the outcome and effect of this litigation is uncertain. However, if these laws ultimately withstand legal challenge, they could result in additional costs to prepare and comply with required regulatory reporting and additional liability.

We are already managing and reporting GHG emissions, to varying degrees, as required by law for our sites in locations subject to U.S. federal and state requirements, Kyoto Protocol obligations, and/or ETS requirements. Although these sites are subject to existing GHG legislation, few have experienced or anticipate significant cost increases because of these programs, although it is possible that GHG emission restrictions may increase over time. Potential consequences of such restrictions include capital requirements to modify assets to meet GHG emission restrictions and/or increases in energy costs above the level of general inflation, as well as direct compliance costs. Currently, however, it is not possible to estimate the likely financial impact of potential future regulation on any of our sites.

Finally, most scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any of those effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Our industry is affected by global economic factors, including risks associated with volatile economic conditions, and the economic environment, inflation, elevated interest rates, recessions or prolonged periods of slow economic growth and global instability have had, and may continue to have, significant effects on our customers and suppliers and have had, and may in the future continue to have, a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price.

Our financial results are substantially dependent on overall economic conditions in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Declining economic conditions, including adverse factors such as inflation, rising and elevated interest rates, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical conflicts, or negative perceptions about future economic conditions, have resulted in, and in the future could result in, a substantial decrease in demand for our products and could adversely affect our business. The timing and extent of any changes to currently prevailing market conditions is uncertain, and supply and demand may be unbalanced at any time. The effects of global economic conditions in certain markets include, among other things, significant reductions in available capital and liquidity from credit markets, supply or demand driven inflationary pressures, and substantial fluctuations in currency values worldwide. Uncertain economic conditions and market instability make it particularly difficult for us to forecast demand trends. As a consequence, we may not be able to accurately predict future economic conditions or the effect of such conditions on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, a prolonged or substantial economic downturn could have material unforeseen consequences, and may result in increased indebtedness or substantially lower adjusted EBITDA, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our ability to comply with the financial covenants in our debt agreements. We can give no assurances as to the timing, extent or duration of the current or future economic cycles impacting the industries in which we operate.

Disruptions in production at our manufacturing facilities may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

Manufacturing facilities in our industry are subject to planned and unplanned production shutdowns, turnarounds, outages and other disruptions. Any serious disruption at any of our facilities could impair our ability to use our facilities and have a material adverse impact on our revenues and increase our costs and expenses. Alternative facilities with sufficient capacity may not be available, may cost substantially more or may take a significant time to increase production or qualify with our customers, any of which could negatively impact our business, results of operations and/or financial condition. Long-term production disruptions may cause our customers to seek alternative supply which could further adversely affect our profitability.

Unplanned production disruptions may occur for external reasons including natural disasters, weather, disease, strikes, transportation interruption, government regulation, political unrest or terrorism, or internal reasons, such as fire, unplanned maintenance or other manufacturing problems. Any significant production disruption could have a material impact on our operations, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, we rely on a number of vendors, suppliers, and in some cases sole-source suppliers, service providers, toll manufacturers and collaborations with other industry participants to provide us with chemicals, feedstocks and other raw materials, along with energy sources and, in certain cases, facilities that we need to operate our business. If the business of these third parties is disrupted, some of these companies could be forced to reduce their output, shut down their operations or file for bankruptcy protection. If this were to occur, it could adversely affect their ability to provide us with the raw materials, energy sources or facilities that we need, which could materially disrupt our operations, including the production of certain of our products. Moreover, it could be difficult to find replacements for certain of our business partners without incurring significant delays or cost increases. If we are required to obtain alternate sources for raw materials because a supplier is unwilling or unable to perform under raw material supply agreements, if a supplier terminates its agreements with us, if we are unable to renew our existing contracts, or if we are unable to obtain new long-term supply agreements, we may not be able to obtain these raw materials in sufficient quantities, on economic terms, or in a timely manner, and we may not be able to enter into supply agreements on terms as favorable to us as our existing supply agreements, if at all. All of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

While we maintain business recovery plans that are intended to allow us to recover from natural disasters or other events that could disrupt our business, we cannot provide assurances that our plans would fully protect us from the effects of all such disasters or from events that might increase in frequency or intensity due to climate change. In addition, insurance may not adequately compensate us for any losses incurred as a result of natural or other disasters. In areas prone to frequent natural or other disasters, insurance may become increasingly expensive or not available at all. Furthermore, some potential climate-driven losses, particularly inundation due to sea-level rise, may pose long-term risks to our physical facilities such that operations cannot be restored in their current locations.

The markets for many of our products are cyclical and volatile, and we may experience depressed market conditions for such products.

The cyclicality in the markets for many of our products occurs as a result of alternating periods of tight supply, causing prices and margins to increase, followed by periods of lower capacity utilization, resulting in oversupply and declining prices and margins. The volatility these markets experience occurs as a result of changes in the demand for products as a consequence of global economic activity, changes in energy prices and changes in customers’ requirements. For example, demand for our products depends in part on aerospace, housing and construction industries, which are cyclical in nature and have historically been impacted by downturns in the economy. The supply-demand balance is also impacted by capacity additions or reductions that result in changes in utilization rates. The cyclicality and volatility of our industry results in significant fluctuations in profits and cash flow from period to period and over the business cycle.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by international business risks, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, legal restrictions and taxes.

We conduct a majority of our business operations outside the U.S., and these operations are subject to risks normally associated with international operations. These risks include the need to convert currencies that may be received for our products into currencies in which we purchase raw materials or pay for services, which could result in a gain or loss depending on fluctuations in exchange rates. We transact business in many foreign currencies, including euros, Swiss francs, Chinese renminbi, Indian rupees, Brazilian reals and Thai bahts. We translate our local currency financial results into U.S. dollars based on average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period or the exchange rate at the end of that period. During times of a strengthening U.S. dollar, our reported international sales and earnings may be reduced because the local currency may translate into fewer U.S. dollars. Because we currently have significant operations located outside the U.S., we are exposed to fluctuations in global currency rates which may result in gains or losses on our financial statements.

Other risks of international operations include trade barriers, tariffs, exchange controls, cash repatriation restrictions, national and regional labor strikes, social and political risks, general economic risks and required compliance with a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, including monetary policies, tax laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (and foreign equivalents), export controls and regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Any changes in tariffs or trade barriers could make our products less competitive compared to other producers not subject to the same tariffs or trade barriers. Any decision to repatriate cash as dividends could subject us to foreign and U.S. federal and state income taxes without any offsetting foreign tax credit relief. Although we maintain an anti-corruption compliance program throughout our company, violations of our compliance program may result in criminal or civil sanctions, including material monetary fines, penalties and other costs against us or our employees, and may have a material adverse effect on our business. Furthermore, in foreign jurisdictions where legal processes may vary from country to country, we may experience difficulty in enforcing agreements. In jurisdictions where bankruptcy laws and practices vary, we may experience difficulty collecting foreign receivables through foreign legal systems. The occurrence of these risks, among others, could disrupt the businesses of our international subsidiaries, which could significantly affect their ability to make distributions to us.

We operate in a significant number of jurisdictions, which contributes to the volatility of our effective tax rate. Changes in tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate may affect our effective tax rate. For example, a number of countries, as well as organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, support a global minimum tax initiative. Such countries and organizations are also actively considering changes to existing tax laws or have proposed new tax laws that could increase our tax obligations. For such laws that have been enacted, we anticipate the impact will be immaterial to our financial statements. In addition, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) have required us to place valuation allowances against some of our net operating losses and other deferred tax assets in certain tax jurisdictions. These valuation allowances result from analysis of positive and negative evidence supporting the realization of tax benefits. Negative evidence includes a cumulative history of pre-tax operating losses in specific tax jurisdictions. Changes in valuation allowances have resulted in material fluctuations in our effective tax rate. Economic conditions or changes in tax laws may dictate the continued imposition of current valuation allowances and, potentially, the establishment of new valuation allowances. While significant valuation allowances remain, our effective tax rate will likely continue to experience significant fluctuations. Furthermore, certain foreign jurisdictions may take actions to delay our ability to collect value-added tax refunds.

Significant price volatility or interruptions in supply of our raw materials and energy may result in increased costs that we may be unable to pass on to our customers, which could reduce our profitability.

We purchase a substantial portion of our raw materials and energy from third-party suppliers and their costs represent a substantial portion of our operating expenses. The prices for raw materials and energy generally follow price trends of, and vary with market conditions for, crude oil and natural gas feedstocks, which are highly volatile and cyclical. While we attempt to match cost increases with corresponding product price increases or surcharges, we are not always able to raise product prices immediately or at all. Timing differences between raw material and energy prices, which may change daily, and contract product prices, which in many cases are negotiated only monthly or less often, have had and may continue to have a negative effect on our cash flow. Any cost increase that we are not able to pass on to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

In general, the feedstocks and other raw materials we consume are organic chemical commodity products that are readily available at market prices. There are, however, several raw materials for which there are only a limited number of suppliers or a single supplier. To mitigate potential supply constraints, we frequently enter into supply agreements with particular suppliers, evaluate alternative sources of supply and evaluate alternative technologies to avoid reliance on limited or sole-source suppliers. In addition, where supply relationships are concentrated, particular attention is paid by the parties to ensure strategic intentions are aligned to facilitate long-term planning. If certain of our suppliers are unable to meet their obligations under present supply agreements, we may be forced to pay higher prices to obtain the necessary raw materials from other sources and we may not be able to increase prices for our finished products to recoup the higher raw materials costs. Any interruption in the supply of raw materials could increase our costs or decrease our revenues, which could reduce our cash flow. The inability of a supplier to meet our raw material needs could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements and results of operations.

The number of sources for and availability of certain raw materials is also specific to the particular geographical region in which a facility is located. Political and economic instability in the countries from which we purchase our raw material supplies could adversely affect their availability. In addition, if raw materials become unavailable within a geographic area from which they are now sourced, then we may not be able to obtain suitable or cost-effective substitutes. We may also experience higher operating costs such as energy costs, which could affect our profitability. We may not always be able to increase our selling prices to offset the impact of any higher production costs or reduced production levels, which could reduce our earnings and decrease our liquidity.

14

Our efforts to grow and transform our businesses may require significant investments; if our strategies are unsuccessful, our business, results of operations and/or financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We continuously evaluate opportunities for growth and change. These initiatives may involve making acquisitions, entering into partnerships and joint ventures, divesting assets, restructuring our existing operations and assets, creating new financial structures and building new facilities—any of which could require a significant investment and subject us to new kinds of risks. We may incur additional indebtedness to finance these opportunities. If our strategies for growth and change are not successful, we could face increased financial pressure, such as increased cash flow demands, reduced liquidity and diminished access to financial markets, and the equity value of our businesses could be diluted.

The implementation of strategies for growth and change may create additional risks, including:

● diversion of management time and attention away from existing operations;

● requiring capital investment that could otherwise be used for the operation and growth of our existing businesses;

● disruptions to important business relationships;

● increased operating costs;

● limitations imposed by various governmental entities; and

● difficulties due to lack of or limited prior experience in any new markets we may enter.

Our inability to mitigate these risks or other problems encountered in connection with our strategies for growth and change could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may fail to fully achieve the savings or growth projected for current or future initiatives notwithstanding the expenditure of substantial resources in pursuit thereof.

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively with our competitors that have greater financial resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Among our competitors are some of the world’s largest chemical companies. Changes in the competitive landscape could make it difficult for us to retain our competitive position in various products and markets throughout the world. Some of the companies with whom we compete may be able to produce products more economically than we can. Furthermore, some of our competitors have greater financial resources, which may enable them to invest significant capital into their businesses, including expenditures for research and development. 

While we are engaged in a range of research and development programs to develop new products and processes, to improve and refine existing products and processes, and to develop new applications or alternative uses for existing products, the failure to develop new products, processes or applications or the failure to keep pace with evolving technological innovations in our end-use markets, could make us less competitive and have an adverse impact on our financial results. Moreover, if any of our current or future competitors develops proprietary technology that enables them to produce products at a significantly lower cost, our technology could be rendered uneconomical or obsolete. We cannot predict whether technological innovations will, in the future, result in a lower demand for our products or affect the competitiveness of our business.

Further, it is possible that we could abandon certain products, processes, or applications due to potential infringement of third party intellectual property rights or that we could be named in future litigation for the infringement or misappropriation of a competitor’s or other third party’s intellectual property rights, which could include a claim for injunctive relief and damages, and, if so, such adverse results could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. In addition, certain of our competitors in various countries in which we do business, including China, may be owned by or affiliated with members of local governments and political entities.

15

These competitors may get special treatment with respect to regulatory compliance and product registration, while certain of our products, including those based on new technologies, may be delayed or even prevented from entering into the local market.

Certain of our businesses use technology that is widely available. Accordingly, barriers to entry, apart from capital availability, may be low in certain product segments of our business. The entrance of new competitors into any of our businesses may reduce our ability to maintain margins or capture improving margins in circumstances where capacity utilization in the industry is increasing. Finally, we may face increased competition due to the rapid development of digital, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. Failure to early adopt and incorporate such technologies to improve productivity and manufacturing technology may put us at a long-term competitive disadvantage. Increased competition in any of our businesses could compel us to reduce the prices of our products, which could result in reduced margins and loss of market share and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

We are subject to risks relating to our information technology systems, and any technology disruption or cyberattack could negatively affect our operations.

We rely on information technology systems across our operations, including for management, supply chain and financial information and various other processes and transactions. Our ability to effectively manage our business depends on the security, reliability and capacity of these systems. Our technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable to disruption from circumstances beyond our control including fire, natural disasters, power outages, system failures, security breaches, espionage, viruses, theft and inadvertent release of information. To date, we have not had a cyberattack that has had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Any disruption to our information technology systems could disrupt our operations or result in the disclosure of proprietary information about our business or confidential information concerning our customers or employees which could result in negative publicity/brand damage, violation of privacy laws, potential liability, including litigation/investigation/remediation or other legal actions against us or the imposition of penalties, fines, fees or liabilities, which may not be covered adequately by our insurance policies. Any or all the above would potentially cause delays or cancellations of customer orders or impede the manufacture or shipment of products, processing of transactions or reporting of financial results.

While we have invested and will continue to invest in technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans, we may not be able to implement measures sufficient to prevent cyberattacks or that will protect against other significant risks to our information technology systems. We have put in place security measures designed to protect against the misappropriation or corruption of our systems, intentional or unintentional disclosure of confidential information, or disruption of our operations. In addition, current employees have, and former employees may have, access to a significant amount of information regarding our operations which could be disclosed to our competitors or otherwise used to harm us. Moreover, our operations in certain locations, such as China, may be particularly vulnerable to security attacks or other problems. Any breach of our security measures could result in unauthorized access to and misappropriation of our information, corruption of data or disruption of operations or transactions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we could be required to expend significant additional efforts to respond to information technology issues or to protect against threatened or actual cyberattacks.

Finally, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations in countries where we do business. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) requires companies to meet regulations regarding the handling of personal data. Our failure to successfully comply with GDPR requirements could result in substantial fines or penalties and legal liability, which could tarnish our reputation. 

Our operations involve risks that may increase our operating costs, which could reduce our profitability.

Although we take precautions to enhance the safety of our operations and minimize the risk of disruptions, our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the manufacturing and marketing of chemical and other products. These hazards include: chemical spills, pipeline leaks and ruptures, storage tank leaks, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances or gases and other hazards incident to the manufacturing, processing, handling, transportation and storage of dangerous chemicals. We are also potentially subject to other hazards, including natural disasters and severe weather; explosions and fires; transportation problems, including interruptions, spills and leaks; mechanical failures; unscheduled downtimes; labor difficulties; remediation complications; and other risks. In addition, some equipment and operations at our facilities are owned or controlled by third parties who may not be fully integrated into our safety programs and over whom we are able to exercise limited control. Many potential hazards can cause bodily injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage, and may result in suspension of operations and the imposition of civil or criminal penalties and liabilities. Furthermore, we are subject to present and future claims with respect to workplace exposure, exposure of contractors on our premises as well as other persons located nearby, workers’ compensation and other matters.

We maintain property, business interruption, products liability and casualty insurance policies which we believe are in accordance with customary industry practices, as well as insurance policies covering other types of risks, including pollution legal liability insurance, but we are not fully insured against all potential hazards and risks incident to our business. Each of these insurance policies is subject to customary exclusions, deductibles and coverage limits, in accordance with industry standards and practices. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain insurance policies can increase substantially and, in some instances, certain insurance may become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

In addition, we are subject to various claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. We are a party to various pending lawsuits and proceedings. For more information, see “—Item 3. Legal Proceedings” below.

16

Our operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected by legal claims against us, including antitrust claims.

We face risks arising from various legal actions, including matters relating to antitrust, product liability, intellectual property and environmental claims. It is possible that judgments could be rendered against us in these cases or others for which we could be uninsured or not covered by indemnity, or which may be beyond the amounts that we currently have reserved or anticipate incurring for such matters. Over the past few years, antitrust claims have been made against chemical companies. In this type of litigation, the plaintiffs generally seek injunctive relief, treble damages or the maximum damages allowed by state law, costs of suit and attorneys’ fees, which may result in significant liabilities. An adverse outcome in any antitrust claim could be material and significantly impact our operations, financial condition, liquidity and business reputation.

We may have difficulties integrating acquired businesses and as a result, our business, results of operations and/or financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We have completed a number of acquisitions, and we expect to continue to acquire additional businesses and enter into joint ventures as part of our business strategy. Growth through acquisitions and joint ventures involves risks, including:

● inability to efficiently operate new businesses or to integrate acquired businesses and products;

● inability to accurately predict delays in realizing the costs and benefits of acquisitions, partnerships, or joint ventures;

● unexpected losses of customers or suppliers of an acquired or existing business;

● difficulties in retaining key employees of acquired businesses;

● difficulties in realizing projected synergies; and

● exposure to unanticipated liabilities, including unexpected environmental exposures, product liability or illegal activities conducted by an acquired company or a joint venture partner.

Our inability to address these risks could cause us to fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions or joint ventures and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

Our business is exposed to risks associated with the creditworthiness of our suppliers, customers and business partners and the industries in which our suppliers, customers and business partners participate are cyclical in nature, both of which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is exposed to risks associated with the creditworthiness of our key suppliers, customers and business partners and reductions in demand for our customers’ products. During periods of economic disruption, more of our customers than normal may experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcies, restructurings and liquidations, which could affect our business by reducing sales, increasing our risk in extending trade credit to customers and reducing our profitability. A significant adverse change in a customer relationship or in a customer’s financial position could cause us to limit or discontinue business with that customer, require us to assume more credit risk relating to that customer’s receivables or limit our ability to collect accounts receivable from that customer.

Our business is dependent on our intellectual property; if our intellectual property rights cannot be enforced or our trade secrets become known to our competitors, our ability to compete may be adversely affected.

Proprietary protection of our processes, apparatuses and other technology is important to our business. While a presumption of validity exists with respect to patents issued to us in the U.S., there can be no assurance that any of our patents will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. Furthermore, if any pending patent application filed by us does not result in an issued patent, or if patents are issued to us, but such patents do not provide meaningful protection of our intellectual property, then our ability to compete may be adversely affected. Additionally, our competitors or other third parties may obtain patents that restrict or preclude our ability to lawfully produce or sell our products in a competitive manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

We also rely upon unpatented proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. While it is our policy to enter into agreements imposing confidentiality obligations upon our employees and third parties to protect our intellectual property, these confidentiality obligations may be breached, may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, or adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized access, use or disclosure of our trade secrets and know-how. In addition, others could obtain knowledge of our trade secrets through independent development or other access by legal means.

We may have to rely on judicial enforcement of our patents and other proprietary rights. We may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights from misappropriation or infringement in countries where effective patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws and judicial systems may be unavailable, or may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as U.S. law.

The failure of our patents or confidentiality agreements to protect our processes, apparatuses, technology, trade secrets or proprietary know-how or the failure of adequate legal remedies for related actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Conflicts, military actions, terrorist attacks, political events, public health crises, changes in regulatory regimes and general instability, along with increased security regulations related to our industry, could adversely affect our business.

Conflicts, military actions, terrorist attacks, political events and public health crises have precipitated economic instability and turmoil in international commerce and the global economy. The uncertainty and economic disruption resulting from hostilities, military action or acts of terrorism may impact any or all of our facilities and operations or those of our suppliers or customers. Accordingly, any conflict, military action or terrorist attack that impacts us or any of our suppliers or customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Furthermore, instability and turmoil, particularly in energy-producing nations, may result in raw material cost increases.

Changes in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently develop and sell products, could adversely affect our business. For example, a number of governments have proposed or instituted regulations attempting to increase the security of chemical plants and the transportation of hazardous chemicals, and in certain regions, putting pressure on manufacturing industries, which could result in higher operating costs and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

17

Our pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations are currently underfunded, and under certain circumstances we may have to significantly increase the level of cash funding to some or all of these plans, which would reduce the cash available for our business. 

We have unfunded and underfunded obligations under some of our domestic and foreign pension and postretirement benefit plans. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets, the level of certain market interest rates and the discount rates used to determine pension obligations. Unfavorable returns on the plan assets or unfavorable changes in applicable laws or regulations could materially change the timing and amount of required plan funding, which would reduce the cash available for our business. In addition, a decrease in the discount rate used to determine pension obligations could result in an increase in the valuation of pension obligations, which could affect the reported funding status of our pension plans and future contributions, as well as the periodic pension cost in subsequent fiscal years.

With respect to our domestic pension and postretirement benefit plans, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) has the authority to terminate an underfunded tax-qualified pension plan under limited circumstances in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In the event our tax-qualified pension plans are terminated by the PBGC, we could be liable to the PBGC for the entire amount of the underfunding. With respect to our foreign pension and postretirement benefit plans, the effects of underfunding depend on the country in which the pension and postretirement benefit plan is established. For example, in the U.K. and Germany semi-public pension protection programs have the authority in certain circumstances to assume responsibility for underfunded pension schemes, including the right to recover the amount of the underfunding from us.

RISKS RELATED TO REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION

We are subject to many EHS regulations that may result in unanticipated costs or liabilities, which could reduce our profitability. 

We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to pollution, protection of the environment and human health and safety, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. Actual or alleged violations of EHS laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations and substantial civil or criminal sanctions and under certain EHS laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability.

Many of our products and operations are subject to the chemical control laws of the countries in which they are located. These laws include the regulation of chemical substances and inventories under the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”) in the U.S. and the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (“REACH”) and the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of substances and mixtures (“CLP”) regulations in Europe. Analogous regulatory regimes exist in other parts of the world, including China, South Korea and Taiwan. In addition, a number of countries where we operate, including the U.K., have adopted rules to conform chemical labeling in accordance with a globally harmonized system. Many of these foreign regulatory regimes are in the process of a multi-year implementation period for these rules.

Additional new laws and regulations may be enacted or adopted by various regulatory agencies globally. For example, TSCA reform legislation was enacted in June 2016, and the EPA has begun the process of issuing new chemical control regulations. EPA issued several final rules in 2017 and 2018 under the revised TSCA related to existing chemicals, including the following: (i) a rule to establish EPA’s process and criteria for identifying chemicals for risk evaluation; (ii) a rule to establish EPA’s process for evaluating high priority chemicals and their uses to determine whether or not they present an unreasonable risk to health or the environment; and (iii) a rule to require industry reporting of chemicals manufactured or processed in the U.S. over the past 10 years. In April 2020, EPA finalized revisions to its Chemical Data Reporting rule under TSCA, which changes reporting requirements. The EPA has also released its framework for approving new chemicals and new uses of existing chemicals. Under the framework, a new chemical or use presents an unreasonable risk if it exceeds established standards. Such a finding could result in either the issuance of rules restricting the use of the chemical being evaluated or in the need for additional testing. The costs of compliance with any new laws or regulations cannot be estimated until the way they will be implemented has been more precisely defined.

Furthermore, governmental, regulatory and societal demands for increasing levels of product safety and environmental protection could result in increased pressure for more stringent regulatory control with respect to the chemical industry. In addition, these concerns could influence public perceptions regarding our products and operations, the viability of certain products, our reputation, the cost to comply with regulations, and the ability to attract and retain employees. Moreover, changes in EHS regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or require us to modify our facilities or operations. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities, which could reduce our profitability. For example, several of our products are being evaluated under REACH and CLP regulations and actions thereunder could negatively impact sales.

We could incur significant expenditures in order to comply with existing or future EHS laws. Capital expenditures and costs relating to EHS matters will be subject to evolving regulatory requirements and will depend on the timing of the promulgation and enforcement of specific standards which impose requirements on our operations. Capital expenditures and costs beyond those currently anticipated may therefore be required under existing or future EHS laws.

Furthermore, we may be liable for the costs of investigating and cleaning up environmental contamination on or from our properties or at off-site locations where we disposed of or arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous materials, or from disposal activities that pre-dated our purchase of our businesses. We may therefore incur additional costs and expenditures beyond those currently anticipated to address all such known and unknown situations under existing and future EHS laws.

18

Regulatory requirements to reduce GHG or other emissions could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. 

Our operations are increasingly subject to regulations that seek to reduce emissions of GHGs, such as carbon dioxide, methane and ethylene oxide, among others, which may be contributing to changes in the Earth’s climate or potentially impacting health and welfare. There are existing efforts to address such emissions at the international, national, and regional levels. For example, the Paris Agreement, which entered into force in November 2016, resulted in voluntary commitments by numerous countries to reduce their GHG emissions. The U.S. rejoined the Paris Agreement on February 19, 2021. In addition, in September 2021, U.S. President Biden publicly announced the Global Methane Pledge, a pact that aims to reduce global methane emissions at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030. Since its formal launch at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), over 100 countries have joined the Global Methane Pledge. The EU also regulates GHGs under the EU ETS and China has established its own nationwide GHG cap and trade program.

In the U.S., the Biden Administration has proposed new rules to address power plant GHG emissions pursuant to the CAA. These rules, if adopted, would impose stringent performance standards on new power plants fueled by natural gas and strict limits on GHG emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired generators, including those powered by natural gas, coal, and oil. Unless and until this proposal is finalized, however, the final scope of any U.S. regulation of GHG emissions will be uncertain. These rules and agreements may affect the long-term price and supply of electricity and natural gas and demand for products that contribute to energy efficiency and renewable energy. These various regulations and agreements also may result in increased costs to purchase energy, additional capital costs for installation or modification of associated equipment, and additional costs associated directly with such emissions (such as cap and trade systems or carbon taxes), which are primarily related to energy use. Likewise, there are efforts aimed at curbing other risks associated with emissions or exposures to other substances, which could have similar impacts. Compliance with these regulations and any more stringent restrictions in the future may increase our operational costs.

In addition, most scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, floods and other climatic events. If any such effects were to occur in areas where we or our clients operate, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

RISKS RELATED TO INDEBTEDNESS

Changes in our credit ratings could increase our borrowing costs or negatively impact our ability to access debt capital markets.

We rely on access to the debt capital markets and other short-term borrowings to finance our operations. The major rating agencies routinely evaluate our credit profile and assign debt ratings. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, which include weighing our financial strength versus business, industry and financial risk. A decrease in the ratings assigned to us by ratings agencies may negatively impact our access to the debt capital markets and increase our borrowing costs. The addition of more debt to our capital structure could also impact our credit ratings. Failure to maintain an investment grade rating would adversely affect our borrowing costs and could adversely affect our access to the debt capital markets. Any limitation on our ability to continue to raise money in the debt capital markets could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Further, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or maintain access to adequate external financing, including from significant disruptions in the global credit markets, our operations and opportunities for growth would be negatively impacted, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

Certain provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage a takeover attempt, which may reduce or eliminate the likelihood of a change of control transaction and, therefore, limit your ability to sell our common stock at a price higher than the current market value.

Certain provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as certain provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our Company, even if some of our stockholders were to consider such a change of control to be beneficial. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. Therefore, our Board of Directors could elect to issue preferred stock that has special voting or other rights that could make it even more difficult for a third party to acquire us, which may reduce or eliminate your ability to sell our common stock at a price higher than the current market value.

We have purchased, and may continue to purchase, a portion of our equity and debt securities, which could impact the market for our equity and debt securities and likely would negatively affect our liquidity.

We may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem our equity and debt securities in open market purchases, accelerated repurchase programs, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, partial or full calls for redemption or otherwise. Any such repurchases or redemptions and the timing and amount thereof would depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Such transactions could negatively affect our liquidity.

We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our stock price to have unanticipated movements.

We provide from time to time guidance regarding our expected financial performance. Correctly identifying key factors affecting business conditions and predicting future events is inherently an uncertain process, and our guidance may not ultimately be accurate. Our guidance is based on certain assumptions, such as those relating to anticipated sales volumes, average selling prices, raw material costs and anticipated cost reductions. If our guidance varies from actual results, the market value of our common stock could have unanticipated movements.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We recognize the importance of developing, implementing and maintaining cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems, shield our operational technologies in our manufacturing plants and protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our data.

We have a qualitative cybersecurity risk management program within our Enterprise Information Security function to promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management for our information technology and operational technology. This program supports cybersecurity considerations as part of our decision-making processes. Our Enterprise Information Security team works closely with our global information technology organization (“Global IT”), operational technology teams and business units to continuously evaluate and address cybersecurity risks in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs. We are aligned with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, against which we periodically assess our readiness.

Recognizing the complexity and evolving nature of cybersecurity threats, we engage with a range of external experts, including cybersecurity assessors, consultants and auditors, in evaluating and testing our cybersecurity posture. These partnerships enable us to leverage specialized knowledge and insights in the development of our cybersecurity program consistent with industry best practices. Our collaboration with these third parties includes regular audits, threat assessments and consultation on security enhancements.

Because we are aware of the risks associated with third parties, we have implemented a third-party security risk management program to oversee and manage these risks. We conduct security assessments of third-party providers contracted by Global IT before engagement and maintain ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with our cybersecurity standards. The program includes tools and services, which continuously monitor third parties for potential security concerns, data leaks and cyber posture, as well as periodic renewals of due diligence commensurate with their risk. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents originating from these third parties.

As of the date hereof, we have not identified any cybersecurity threats or previous cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, despite our efforts, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that we have not experienced undetected cybersecurity incidents. For additional information about these risks, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Cybersecurity Governance

The Board of Directors is aware of the importance of managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats. The Board of Directors has established oversight mechanisms for effective governance in managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats, because they recognize the significance of these threats to our operational integrity and stakeholder confidence.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the Board of Directors’ oversight of cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee is composed of board members with diverse expertise including, cyber operations, risk management, technology and finance, equipping them to oversee cybersecurity risks effectively. The Audit Committee reviews our cybersecurity programs and the effectiveness of its risk management strategies. This review helps management identify areas for improvement and align our cybersecurity program with the overall risk management framework.

The Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) plays a pivotal role in informing the Audit Committee on cybersecurity risks. The CIO provides briefings to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. These briefings encompass a broad range of topics, including:

● current cybersecurity landscape and emerging threats;

● status of ongoing cybersecurity initiatives and strategies;

● incident reports and learnings from any cybersecurity events; and

● compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.

In addition to our scheduled meetings, select members of the Audit Committee and CIO maintain an ongoing dialogue regarding potential cybersecurity threats and mitigation strategies and updates to our cybersecurity posture. The Audit Committee oversees strategic decisions related to our cybersecurity program, offering guidance and approving investments in major initiatives. This ongoing oversight enables cybersecurity considerations to be integrated into our broader strategic planning objectives.

Reporting to our CIO, our cybersecurity function is led by our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). The CISO manages a team of cybersecurity professionals and third-party support functions with broad experience and expertise, including in cybersecurity threat assessments and detection, mitigation technologies, cybersecurity training, incident response, cyber forensics, insider threats and regulatory compliance.

Our CISO and CIO are regularly informed about the latest developments in cybersecurity, including potential threats and innovative risk management techniques, for the effective prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The CISO implements and oversees processes for the regular monitoring of our information systems. This includes the deployment of security measures and regular system audits to identify potential vulnerabilities. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we have an incident response plan that includes immediate actions to contain and eradicate the threat, mitigate the impact, and long-term strategies for remediation and prevention of future incidents.

The CIO regularly informs the Chief Executive Officer and management regarding cybersecurity risks and incidents, so they are kept abreast of the cybersecurity posture and potential risks. Significant cybersecurity matters and strategic risk management decisions are reported to the Audit Committee.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

Texas Emissions Enforcement

On July 26, 2021, the Attorney General of the State of Texas filed a civil suit in the District Court of Travis County, Texas seeking civil penalties and attorney’s fees for alleged violations of the Texas Clean Air Act, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulations and facility permit terms. The complaint alleged multiple unauthorized emissions events and reporting discrepancies that occurred between December 2016 and June 2019 at our former manufacturing facility in Port Neches, Texas. While the state initially sought monetary relief between $250,000 and $1 million, additional allegations were added, which may result in a penalty in the upper range or higher. We completed the sale of our former Port Neches, Texas facility to Indorama Ventures Holdings L.P. on January 3, 2020. We believe that we are contractually indemnified for any defense costs and potential liability that may result from this action.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related U.S. GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain income and expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. 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) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (f) costs (income) associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (g) gain on sale of businesses/assets; (h) income from transition services arrangements; (i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (k) plant incident remediation credits; and (l) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. Starting in 2021, we began to include income and costs associated with the arbitration award we won in October 2021 in excess of $600 million against Albemarle Corporation (“Albemarle”) for fraud and breach of contract (the “Albemarle Settlement”), net in our adjustments since such income and costs represents a one-time legal settlement and does not reflect our ongoing financial performance. We believe that net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing the businesses’ ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, or other measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. Our management believes this measure is useful to compare general operating performance from period to period and to make certain related management decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expense can vary considerably among companies. Finally, companies employ productive assets of different ages and utilize different methods of acquiring and depreciating such assets. This can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.

Nevertheless, our management recognizes that there are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company as compared to net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, which reflects overall financial performance. For example, we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Our management compensates for the limitations of using adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather than U.S. GAAP results alone.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) income from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (f) costs (income) associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (g) gain on sale of businesses/assets; (h) income from transition services arrangements associated with the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (i) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (k) plant incident remediation credits; (l) establishment of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowance; and (m) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. Basic adjusted net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted diluted net income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information.

We believe adjusted net income is useful to investors in assessing the businesses’ ongoing financial performance and provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that management believes are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends.

Free Cash Flow

We believe free cash flow from continuing operations is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Management internally uses a free cash flow measure: (a) to evaluate our liquidity, (b) evaluate strategic investments, (c) plan dividend and stock buyback levels and (d) evaluate our ability to incur and service debt. 

29

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate 

We believe that the effective tax rate of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted effective tax rate. We believe our adjusted effective tax rate provides improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items, such as, business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, certain legal and other settlements and related expenses, gains on sale of businesses/assets and certain tax only items, such as certain changes in valuation allowances that we believe are not indicative of the businesses’ operational profitability and that may obscure underlying business results and trends.

Our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate is calculated based on our forecast effective tax rate, and the range of our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate equals the range of our forecast effective tax rate. We disclose forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate because we cannot adequately forecast certain items and events that may or may not impact us in the near future, such as business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments, certain legal and other settlements and related expenses, gain on sale of businesses/assets and certain tax only items, including tax law changes not yet enacted. Each of such adjustment has not yet occurred, is out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. In our view, our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate represents the forecast effective tax rate on our underlying business operations but does not reflect any adjustments related to the items noted above that may occur and can cause our effective tax rate to differ.

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022

For the year ended December 31, 2023, loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation was $17 million as compared with income of $448 million in the 2022 period. For the year ended December 31, 2023, loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman International was $15 million, as compared with income of $449 million in the 2022 period. The decreases noted above were the result of the following items:

● Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $1,912 million, or 24%, as compared with the 2022 period. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes in all our segments and lower average selling prices in all our segments, except for our Advanced Materials segment. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

● Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $640 million, or 41%, as compared with the 2022 period. The decrease resulted primarily from lower gross profits in all our segments. See “—Segment Analysis” below.

● Our operating expenses, net and the operating expenses, net of Huntsman International for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $16 million and $17 million, respectively, or 2% for both, as compared with the 2022 period, primarily related to the negative impact of translating foreign currency amounts to the U.S. dollar and an increase in other operating expenses, partially offset by decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

● Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $68 million, or 79%, as compared with the 2022 period. For more information on restructuring activities, see “Note 12. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs” to our consolidated financial statements.

● Equity in income of investment in unconsolidated affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased to $83 million from $67 million in the 2022 period, primarily related to an increase in income at our PO/MTBE joint venture with China, in which we hold a 49% interest.

● We recorded a loss of $5 million in fair value adjustments to our investment in Venator for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a loss of $12 million in the 2022 period. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator” to our consolidated financial statements.

● Our other income, net for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2 million as compared with $35 million in the 2022 period, and the other income, net of Huntsman International for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2 million as compared with $34 million in the 2022 period, primarily related to an increase in certain periodic pension costs, partially offset by a decrease in certain legal related expenses.

● Our income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to $64 million from $186 million in the 2022 period. The income tax expense of Huntsman International for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to $65 million from $188 million in the 2022 period. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes. Our income tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate along with the impact of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. For more information concerning income taxes, see “Note 19. Income Taxes” to our consolidated financial statements.

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to lower sales volumes, lower MDI average selling prices and the net negative impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand, primarily in the Americas. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to less favorable supply and demand dynamics. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes, lower MDI margins, the net negative impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar and a gain from an insurance settlement received in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by higher equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China and cost savings from our cost optimization programs.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased in all regions primarily due to slowing construction activity and reduced demand in coatings and adhesives, agriculture, lubes and other industrial markets. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to decreased sales volumes and lower average selling prices, partially offset by reduced fixed costs.

Advanced Materials 

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for 2023 compared to 2022 was primarily due to lower sales volumes while average selling prices remained stable. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to reduced customer demand in our infrastructure markets and the deselection of lower margin business. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes.

Corporate and other

Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign currency exchange gains and losses, last-in first-out (“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. For 2023, adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation increased by $12 million to a loss of $163 million from a loss of $175 million for 2022. For 2023, adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International increased by $12 million to a loss of $160 million from a loss of $172 million for 2022. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from an increase in LIFO valuation gains and a decrease in corporate overhead costs and minority interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in unallocated foreign currency exchange gains.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2021

For a comparison of both our results of operations and segment analysis for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, see “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following is a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources and generally does not include separate information with respect to Huntsman International in accordance with General Instruction I of Form 10-K.

Cash Flows For Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022

 Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for 2023 and 2022 was $251 million and $892 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during 2023 compared with 2022 was primarily attributable to decreased operating income as described in “—Results of Operations” above as well as a net cash outflow of $95 million related to changes in operating assets and liabilities for 2023 as compared with 2022.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations for 2023 and 2022 was $309 million and $(260) million, respectively. During 2023 and 2022, we paid $230 million and $272 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. During 2023, we received $544 million for the sale of businesses, net, primarily related to net proceeds of $530 million from the sale of our Textile Effects Business. See “See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business” to our consolidated financial statements. 

Net cash used in financing activities for 2023 and 2022 was $620 million and $994 million, respectively. During 2023 and 2022, we paid $349 million and $1,005 million for repurchases of our common stock, respectively. During 2023, we repaid $51 million against the outstanding balances under our 2022 $1.2 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“2022 Revolving Credit Facility”) and our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program (“U.S. A/R Program”) and European accounts receivable securitization program (“EU A/R Program” and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, “A/R Programs”). During 2022, we had net borrowings of $219 million under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. 

Free cash flow from continuing operations for 2023 and 2022 were proceeds of cash of $21 million and $620 million, respectively. The decrease in free cash flow from continuing operations was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, partially offset by a decrease in cash used for capital expenditures during 2023 as compared with 2022.

Cash Flows For Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2021

For a comparison of our cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, see “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.

(1) Total assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2022 are classified as current because we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business on February 28, 2023. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Discontinued Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business” to our consolidated financial statements. 

Our working capital decreased by $302 million as a result of the net impact of the following significant changes:

● The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $114 million resulted from the matters identified on our consolidated statements of cash flows. See also “—Cash Flows Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022.”

● Accounts and notes receivable, net decreased by $81 million primarily due to lower revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

● Inventories decreased by $128 million primarily due to lower inventory costs and volumes.

● Other current assets decreased by $36 million primarily due to amortization of deferred charges related to insurance premiums and a decrease in current income taxes receivable.

● Accounts payable decreased by $242 million primarily due to lower inventory purchases.

● Accrued liabilities decreased by $34 million primarily due to a decrease in accrued compensation costs and accrued restructuring costs.

● Current portion of debt decreased by $54 million primarily due to the repayment in full of the outstanding balance under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.

Short-Term Liquidity

We depend upon our cash, our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, our A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of December 31, 2023, we had $1,738 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $540 million in cash, $1,196 million in availability under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and $2 million in availability under our A/R Programs. Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters are expected to have a significant impact on our liquidity:

● During 2024, we expect to spend approximately $200 million on capital expenditures. Our future expenditures include certain environmental, health and safety upgrades; expansions and upgrades of our existing manufacturing and other facilities; construction of new facilities; certain cost reduction projects, including those described below; and certain information technology expenditures. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash provided by operations. 

● During 2024, we expect to make contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans of approximately $34 million.

● As of December 31, 2023, we have approximately $547 million remaining under the authorization of our existing share repurchase program. Repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.

● On January 31, 2024, we completed the planned separation and acquisition of assets of SLIC, our manufacturing joint venture with BASF and three Chinese chemical companies. The final purchase price of the acquired assets will be determined based on an asset valuation, which we currently expect to be completed in the first quarter of 2024. The acquisition of the assets were funded in part with HPS issuing a note payable at closing of approximately $230 million, which is subject to change pending the final valuation. As of January 31, 2024, we made a cash payment of approximately $26 million against the note payable. The remainder of the note payable will be paid off in cash in future quarters. The future proceeds of the acquisition received by SLIC will be distributed back to the respective joint venture partners upon liquidation of the joint venture. We anticipate that the liquidation will occur by mid-2025.

● On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a purchase price of $593 million, which included estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. The final purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments, which are anticipated to be complete in the first quarter of 2024. During 2023, we have paid cash taxes of approximately $23 million, and we expect to pay additional cash taxes of approximately $15 million. See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Discontinued Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business” to our consolidated financial statements.

● During 2020 and 2021, management implemented cost realignment and synergy plans and, in November 2022, committed to further plans to realign our cost structure with additional restructuring in Europe, including exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with these plans, we have achieved combined annualized cost savings and synergy benefits in excess of $280 million. Associated with these plans, we expect total cash costs of approximately $285 million (including approximately $56 million of capital expenditures) through 2025, of which we have spent approximately $230 million through 2023 (including approximately $34 million of capital expenditures). Of the remaining cash costs, the majority will be payments related to our restructuring in Europe, primarily for personnel who have exited as of the end of 2023 as well as capital expenditures related to our research and development footprint, which is included in our overall future capital expenditures projections.

Long-Term Liquidity

	●	On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.
`	●	On April 29, 2022, a New Orleans jury awarded us approximately $94 million in our long-running court battle against Praxair/Linde, one of the industrial gas suppliers to our Geismar, Louisiana MDI manufacturing site. The case was filed after Praxair refused to properly maintain its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gas needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After adding mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest to the award, we expect damages to exceed $125 million before deducting for taxes and legal fees. The award is subject to a pending appeal, and if affirmed, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $50 million to $60 million. We have not yet recognized the award in our consolidated statements of operations.
	●	On May 20, 2022, Huntsman International entered into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings will bear interest at the rates specified in the credit agreement governing the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, which will vary based on the type of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. Under the credit agreement, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee rates are also subject to adjustments based on the Company’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to annual percentage reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity and annual percentage reduction in water consumption intensity. Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the credit agreement will mature in May 2027. Huntsman International may increase the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility commitments up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. See “Note 14. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Revolving Credit Facility” to our consolidated financial statements.
	●	On February 16, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share cash dividend on our common stock. This represents an approximate 5% increase from the previous dividend.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $12 million classified as current portion of debt, including debt at our variable interest entities of  $9 million and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $3 million. We intend to renew, repay or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the next twelve months.

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $529 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. With the exception of certain amounts that we expect to repatriate in the foreseeable future, we intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate additional cash as dividends and the repatriation of cash as a dividend would generally not be subject to U.S. taxation. However, such repatriation may potentially be subject to limited foreign withholding taxes.

For more information regarding our debt, see “Note 14. Debt” to our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that involve a significant level of estimation and uncertainty and are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and/or results of operations. Summarized below are our critical accounting estimates.

Income Taxes 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized; valuation allowances are recorded to offset deferred tax assets unlikely to be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed each period on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider cumulative income or losses during the applicable three-year period. Cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period limits our ability to consider other evidence, such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in applicable jurisdictions affect our assessment of the realization of deferred tax assets. Our judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by factors outside of business results, including the costs and risks associated with any tax planning strategy associated with utilizing a deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2023, we had total valuation allowances of $221 million, which represents an increase of $52 million from the prior year, and we have a recognized a net deferred tax liability of $131 million. See “Note 19. Income Taxes” to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our deferred tax assets and valuation allowances.

Employee Benefit Programs 

We sponsor several contributory and non-contributory defined benefit plans, covering employees primarily in the U.S., the U.K., the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, but also covering employees in a number of other countries. We fund the material plans through trust arrangements (or local equivalents) where the assets are held separately from us. We also sponsor unfunded postretirement plans which provide medical and, in some cases, life insurance benefits covering certain employees in the U.S. and Canada. Amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements are recorded based upon actuarial valuations performed by various independent actuaries. Inherent in these valuations are numerous assumptions regarding expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates, compensation increases, mortality rates and health care cost trends. Each of these critical estimates are subject to uncertainty and are assessed by us using historical data, as well as projections of future conditions. These assumptions and changes during the period are described in “Note 18. Employee Benefit Plans” to our consolidated financial statements.

We retain third party actuaries to assist us with judgments necessary to make assumptions on which our employee pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and expenses are based. The effect of a 1% change in three key assumptions is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

	Statement of			Balance sheet
Assumptions	operations(1)			impact(2)
Discount rate

(2) Estimated (decrease) increase on December 31, 2023 pension and postretirement liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive loss

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures. We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For more information on interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk and commodity prices risk, see “Note 15. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control framework and processes for our Company and Huntsman International are designed to provide reasonable assurance to management, Huntsman International’s Board of Managers and our Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting for our Company and Huntsman International includes those policies and procedures that:

● pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company and Huntsman International;

● provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company and Huntsman International are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of our Company and Huntsman International; 

● provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; and

● provide reasonable assurance as to the detection of fraud.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changing conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our Company and Huntsman International and concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, such internal control is effective. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, with direct access to our Board of Directors through our Audit Committee, have audited our consolidated financial statements prepared by our Company and have issued an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting for our Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Huntsman Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Huntsman Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company and our report dated February 22, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Huntsman Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Huntsman Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index on page F-1 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 22, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Income Taxes—Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets—Refer to Notes 2 and 19 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or asset are expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company files tax returns in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax laws and regulations. Valuation allowances are evaluated on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers cumulative income or losses during the applicable three-year period. Cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period limits the Company’s ability to consider other evidence such as projections for the future. Changes in expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in applicable jurisdictions affect the Company’s assessment of the realization of deferred tax assets. The Company’s judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by factors outside of business results, including the costs and risks associated with any tax planning strategy associated with utilizing a deferred tax asset. The Company’s valuation allowances as of December 31, 2023, were $221 million.

We identified management’s determination that it is not more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to realize some of its deferred tax assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments and estimates management makes related to future taxable income. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our income tax specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future taxable income.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to estimated future taxable income and the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized included the following, among others:

• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation allowance for income taxes, including management’s controls over the estimates of future taxable income and the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

• With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we considered (1) the appropriateness of qualifying tax planning strategies, including that they were prudent, feasible and would more likely than not result in the realization of deferred tax assets and (2) the following sources of management’s estimated future taxable income:

– Estimates of future taxable income

– Future reversals of existing temporary differences

– Taxable income in historical periods (where carryback is permitted under the tax law)

• We tested the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future taxable income by comparing the estimates to:

– Historical taxable income

– Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors

– Forecasted information included in Company press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports for the Company and certain of its peer companies

• We evaluated whether the taxable income in prior carryback years was of the appropriate character and available under the tax law.

• We evaluated the reasonableness of the methods, assumptions, and judgments used by management to determine whether a valuation allowance was necessary.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members and Board of Managers of Huntsman International LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Huntsman International LLC and subsidiaries (“Huntsman International”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Huntsman International as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of Huntsman International’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Huntsman International’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Huntsman International in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Huntsman International is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Huntsman International’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Managers and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Income Taxes—Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets—Refer to Notes 2 and 19 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Huntsman International recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or asset are expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Huntsman International files tax returns in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax laws and regulations. Valuation allowances are evaluated on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, Huntsman International considers cumulative income or losses during the applicable three-year period. Cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period limits Huntsman International’s ability to consider other evidence such as projections for the future. Changes in expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in applicable jurisdictions affect Huntsman International’s assessment of the realization of deferred tax assets. Huntsman International’s judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by factors outside of business results, including the costs and risks associated with any tax planning strategy associated with utilizing a deferred tax asset. Huntsman International’s valuation allowances as of December 31, 2023, were $221 million.

We identified management’s determination that it is not more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to realize some of its deferred tax assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments and estimates management makes related to future taxable income. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our income tax specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future taxable income.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to estimated future taxable income and the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized included the following, among others:

• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation allowance for income taxes, including management’s controls over the estimates of future taxable income and the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

• With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we considered (1) the appropriateness of qualifying tax planning strategies, including that they were prudent, feasible and would more likely than not result in the realization of deferred tax assets and (2) the following sources of management’s estimated future taxable income:

– Estimates of future taxable income

– Future reversals of existing temporary differences

– Taxable income in historical periods (where carryback is permitted under the tax law)

• We tested the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future taxable income by comparing the estimates to:

– Historical taxable income

– Internal communications to management and the Board of Managers

– Forecasted information included in Huntsman International’s press releases as well as in analyst and industry reports for Huntsman International and certain of its peer companies

• We evaluated whether the taxable income in prior carryback years was of the appropriate character and available under the tax law.

• We evaluated the reasonableness of the methods, assumptions, and judgments used by management to determine whether a valuation allowance was necessary.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

Description of Business

We are a global manufacturer of diversified organic chemical products. We operate in three segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. Our products comprise many different chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a wide range of consumers that consist primarily of industrial and building product manufacturers. Our products are used in a broad range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, coatings and construction, construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, insulation, packaging, power generation and refining. Many of our products offer effects such as premium insulation in homes and buildings and the light weighting of airplanes and automobiles that help conserve energy. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, maleic anhydride and epoxy-based polymer formulations. 

Our company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses, which were founded by Jon M. Huntsman. Mr. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small polystyrene plastics packaging company. Since then, we have transformed through a series of acquisitions and divestitures and now own a global portfolio of businesses with a primary focus on improving energy efficiency. On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a purchase price of $593 million, which includes estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. The final purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Upon the completion of the sale, we received net proceeds of $530 million, determined as the purchase price less $5 million for certain costs paid by Archroma on our behalf, $30 million of estimated net working capital adjustments and $28 million of cash that will be reimbursed to us as part of the final post-closing adjustments anticipated in the first quarter of 2024. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions— Discontinued Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business.” We operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International Financial Statements

Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the consolidated financial statements for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our consolidated financial statements and Huntsman International’s consolidated financial statements relate primarily to different capital structures and purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the 2003 step-acquisition of Huntsman International Holdings LLC, the former parent company of Huntsman International that was merged into Huntsman International in 2005.

Huntsman International declared and paid to us a distribution in the form of certain affiliate accounts receivable in the fourth quarter of  2022 and during 2023.

Recent Developments 

Dividend Increase

On February 16, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share cash dividend on our common stock. This represents an approximate 5% increase from the previous dividend.

Separation and Acquisition of Assets of SLIC Joint Venture

On January 31, 2024, we completed the planned separation and acquisition of assets of SLIC, our manufacturing joint venture with BASF and three Chinese chemical companies. The final purchase price of the acquired assets will be determined based on an asset valuation, which we currently expect to be completed in the first quarter of 2024. The acquisition of the assets were funded in part with HPS issuing a note payable at closing of approximately $230 million, which is subject to change pending the final valuation. As of January 31, 2024, we made a cash payment of approximately $26 million against the note payable. The remainder of the note payable will be paid off in cash in future quarters. The future proceeds of the acquisition received by SLIC will be distributed back to the respective joint venture partners upon liquidation of the joint venture. We anticipate that the liquidation will occur by mid-2025.

Amendments to Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.

Other Significant Development During 2023

On September 19, 2023, we entered into a share purchase agreement to sell our polyurethanes business in Russia and Belarus. The transaction is subject to government approvals in several jurisdictions in addition to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The timing and final completion of the transaction are uncertain as the requirements to obtain approval of the transaction have been evolving, and we expect the approval process will continue to be subject to unanticipated changes and delays. 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets and all amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is based upon current and anticipated undiscounted cash flows, and we recognize an impairment when such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between carrying value and fair value. Fair value is generally estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved or selling price of assets held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash in checking accounts and cash in short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

Cost of Goods Sold

We classify the costs of manufacturing and distributing our products as cost of goods sold. Manufacturing costs include variable costs, primarily raw materials and energy, and fixed expenses directly associated with production. Manufacturing costs also include, among other things, plant site operating costs and overhead (including depreciation), production planning and logistics costs, repair and maintenance costs, plant site purchasing costs, and engineering and technical support costs. Distribution, freight and warehousing costs are also included in cost of goods sold.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain international operations are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent effective. The effectiveness of a cash flow hedging relationship is established at the inception of the hedge, and after inception we perform effectiveness assessments at least every three months. A derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is determined to be effective if the change in value of the hedge divided by the change in value of the hedged item is within a range of 80% to 125%. Hedge ineffectiveness in a cash flow hedge occurs only if the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative hedging instrument exceeds the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the hedged transaction. For a derivative that does not qualify or has not been designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental related restoration and remediation costs are recorded as liabilities when site restoration and environmental remediation and clean-up obligations are either known or considered probable and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. Other environmental expenditures that are principally maintenance or preventative in nature are recorded when expended and incurred and are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. See “Note 21. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters.”

Equity Method Investments

We account for our equity investments where we own a non-controlling interest, but exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, our original cost of the investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the equity investee and reduced by dividends and distributions of capital received, unless the fair value option is elected, in which case the investment balance is marked to fair value each reporting period and the impact of changes in fair value of the equity investment are reported in earnings.

. 

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of our operating subsidiaries outside of the U.S., unless they are operating in highly inflationary economic environments, consider the functional currency to be the currency of the economic environment in which they operate. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at a weighted average rate for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded to equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

If a subsidiary operates in an economic environment that is considered to be highly inflationary (100% cumulative inflation over a three-year period), the U.S. dollar is considered to be the functional currency and gains and losses from remeasurement to the U.S. dollar from the local currency are included in the statement of operations. Where a subsidiary’s operations are effectively run, managed, financed and contracted in U.S. dollars, such as certain finance subsidiaries outside of the U.S., the U.S. dollar is considered to be the functional currency.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations and were a loss of $13 million, a gain of $18 million and a gain of $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. We are required to determine if an income tax position meets the criteria of more likely than not to be realized based on the merits of the position under tax law, in order to recognize an income tax benefit. This requires us to make significant judgments regarding the merits of income tax positions and the application of income tax law. Additionally, if a tax position meets the recognition criteria of more likely than not we are required to make judgments and apply assumptions to measure the amount of the tax benefits to recognize. These judgments are based on the probability of the amount of tax benefits that would be realized if the tax position was challenged by the taxing authorities. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As a consequence, changes in assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements. See “Note 19. Income Taxes.”

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets are stated at cost (fair value at the time of acquisition) and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the life of the related agreement as follows:

	In years
Patents and technology	5 - 30
Trademarks	9 - 30
Licenses and other agreements	5 - 15
Other intangibles	5 - 20

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to any method of amortization, but is tested for impairment annually (at the beginning of the third quarter) and when events and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. When the fair value is less than the carrying value of the related reporting unit, we are required to reduce the amount of goodwill through a charge to earnings. Fair value is estimated using the market approach, as well as the income approach based on discounted cash flow projections. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing.

During 2023 and 2022, goodwill increased by approximately $3 million and decreased by approximately $9 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using average cost, LIFO and first-in first-out methods for different components of inventory.

F- 15

 

Leases

The determination of whether a contract is or contains a lease is performed at the lease inception date. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using incremental borrowing rates as the implicit rates are not readily determinable for our leases. The incremental borrowing rates are determined on a collateralized basis and vary from lease to lease depending on the country where the leased asset exists and the term of the lease arrangement. We combine lease components with non-lease components and account for them as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets, except for leases of manufacturing and research facilities and administrative offices. For these assets, non-lease components are separated from lease components and accounted for as normal operating expenses. See “Note 9. Leases.”

Legal Costs

We expense legal costs, including those legal costs incurred in connection with a loss contingency, as incurred.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Huntsman Corporation

Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as potential dilutive securities. Diluted income per share is computed using the treasury stock method for all stock-based awards. In periods with reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation, all stock-based awards are generally deemed anti-dilutive and would be excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income regardless of whether there is income or loss from discontinued operations and net income.

Basic and diluted income per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023			2022		2021
Numerator:
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation	$	(17	)	$	448	$	996
Net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation	$	101		$	460	$	1,045
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		177.4			201.0		219.2
Dilutive shares:
Stock-based awards		—			2.0		2.2
Total weighted average shares outstanding, including dilutive shares		177.4			203.0		221.4

Additional stock-based awards of 3.1 million, 1.1 million and 1.1 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the respective periods mentioned because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were 1.3 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock included in the total anti-dilutive weighted average equivalent shares of stock noted above as a result of the reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation.

Other Noncurrent Assets

Periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities (a “turnaround”) are accounted for on the deferral basis by capitalizing the costs of the turnaround and amortizing the costs over the estimated period until the next turnaround.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease term as follows:

	In years
Buildings	10 - 40
Plant and equipment	3 - 30
Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements	5 - 20

Interest expense capitalized as part of plant and equipment was $6 million, $7 million and $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Normal maintenance and repairs of plant and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized, and the assets replaced, if any, are retired.

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all of our revenue through product sales in the open market and long-term supply agreements in which revenue is recognized at a point in time. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services, if any, promised in our contracts and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. In substantially all cases, a contract has a single performance obligation to deliver a promised good to the customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, we consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. We have elected to account for all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs. We have also elected to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset that we would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize is based upon the terms stated in the sales contract, which may contain variable consideration such as discounts or rebates. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct product based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order or in the sales contract is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. In order to estimate the applicable variable consideration, we use historical and current trend information to estimate the amount of discounts or rebates to which customers are likely to be entitled. Historically, actual discount or rebate adjustments relative to those estimated and included when determining the transaction price have not materially differed. Payment terms vary but are generally less than one year. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. In the normal course of business, we do not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. We establish provisions for estimated returns based on an analysis of historical experience. See “Note 17. Revenue Recognition.”

Securitization of Accounts Receivable

Under our A/R Programs, we grant an undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to the special purpose entities (“SPE”) in the U.S. and EU. This undivided interest serves as security for the issuance of debt. The A/R Programs provide for financing in U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds. The amounts outstanding under our A/R Programs are accounted for as secured borrowings. See “Note 14. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—A/R Programs.”

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. See “Note 23. Stock-Based Compensation Plan.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Standards Adopted During 2023

There were no accounting standards that we adopted during 2023. 

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption In Future Periods 

The following relevant accounting standards become effective subsequent to fiscal year 2023, and we are currently evaluating the impact of the future adoption of these accounting standards on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures:

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS 

Acquisition of GABRIEL Performance Products

On January 15, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Gabriel Performance Products, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer of specialty additives and epoxy curing agents for the coatings, adhesives, sealants and composite end-markets (the “Gabriel Acquisition”), from funds affiliated with Audax Private Equity in an all-cash transaction of approximately $251 million. The purchase price was funded from available liquidity, and the acquired business has been integrated into our Advanced Materials segment. Transaction costs related to this acquisition were approximately $2 million in 2021 and were recorded in other operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations.

We accounted for the Gabriel Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash paid for the Gabriel Acquisition	$	251
Cash	$	9
Accounts receivable		13
Inventories		23
Property, plant and equipment		50
Intangible assets		96
Goodwill		87
Accounts payable		(7	)
Accrued liabilities		(3	)
Deferred income taxes		(17	)
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	251

The valuation was finalized during the first quarter of 2022. Intangible assets acquired included in this allocation consist of trademarks, technology and trade secrets, which are being amortized over a period of 15 years. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to projected future profitable growth in our Advanced Materials specialty portfolio and synergies. We acquired approximately $94 million of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes.

PRO FORMA INFORMATION FOR ACQUISITIONS

If the Gabriel Acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2021, the following estimated pro forma revenues from continuing operations, net income and net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International would have been reported (dollars in millions):

	Pro forma (unaudited)
	Year ended
	December 31, 2021
Revenues	$	7,674
Net income		1,092
Net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation		1,033

	Pro forma (unaudited)

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND BUSINESS DISPOSITIONS

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Sale of Textile Effects Business

On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a purchase price of $593 million, which includes estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. The final purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Upon the completion of the sale, we received net proceeds of $530 million, determined as the purchase price less $5 million for certain costs paid by Archroma on our behalf, $30 million of estimated net working capital adjustments and $28 million of cash that will be reimbursed to us as part of the final post-closing adjustments anticipated in the first quarter of 2024. In connection with the sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $154 million in 2023. During 2023, we have paid cash taxes of approximately $23 million, and we expect to pay additional cash taxes of approximately $15 million. 

The following table reconciles the carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to total assets and liabilities of discontinued operations that are classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets (dollars in millions):

Sale of India-Based Do-It-Yourself Consumer Adhesives Business

On November 3, 2020, we completed the sale of the India-based do-it-yourself (“DIY”) business to Pidilite Industries Ltd. and received cash of approximately $257 million. In the second quarter of 2021, we received the full payment of $28 million pursuant to an earnout provision based on the DIY business’s achievement of certain sales revenue targets in line with its 2019 performance. As a result, we recognized an additional pretax gain of $28 million in the second quarter of 2021, which was recorded in gain on sale of India-based DIY business in our consolidated statements of operations.

Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator

On December 23, 2020, we completed the sale of approximately 42.4 million ordinary shares of Venator Materials PLC (“Venator”). Concurrent with the sale of ordinary shares, we entered into an option agreement, pursuant to which we granted an option to funds advised by SK Capital Partners, LP to purchase the remaining approximate 9.7 million ordinary shares we held in Venator at $2.15 per share. The option expired on June 23, 2023; however, prior to its expiration, we recorded this option at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. We account for our remaining ownership interest in Venator as an investment in equity securities that are marked to fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net losses of $5 million, $12 million and $28 million, respectively, to record our investment in Venator and related option at fair value. These net losses were recorded in “Fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net” in our consolidated statements of operations.

8. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

● Rubicon is our 50%-owned joint venture with Lanxess that manufactures products for our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments. The structure of the joint venture is such that the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint venture to finance its activities without additional financial support. By virtue of the operating agreement with this joint venture, we purchase a majority of the output, absorb a majority of the operating costs and provide a majority of the additional funding.

● AAC is our 50%-owned joint venture with the Zamil Group that manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. As required in the operating agreement governing this joint venture, we purchase all of AAC’s production and sell it to our customers. Substantially all of the joint venture’s activities are conducted on our behalf.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no changes in our variable interest entities.

Creditors of our variable interest entities have no recourse to our general credit. See “Note 14. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt.” As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities at December 31, 2023, the joint ventures’ assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of our variable interest entities’ assets and liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in millions):

9. LEASES

We primarily lease manufacturing and research facilities, administrative offices, land, tanks, railcars and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases have remaining lives from one month to 34 years. Certain lease agreements include one or more options to renew, at our discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by approximately one year to 30 years or more. Renewal and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise have been included in the calculation of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. None of our lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

The components of operating lease expense, cash flows and supplemental noncash information from continuing operations are as follows (dollars in millions):

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we implemented a restructuring program to further realign our cost structure with additional restructuring in Europe. This program is associated with all of our segments and includes exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to workforce reductions and accelerated depreciation, partially offset by adjustments to restructuring reserves that are no longer required for certain workforce reductions. We recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to record further restructuring expenses of approximately $4 million through the first half of 2025.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, our Corporate function implemented a restructuring program to optimize our global approach to leveraging shared services capabilities. During the second quarter of 2022, this program was further expanded to include additional geographies. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we evaluated current developments of this program and related anticipated cash costs, and we recorded a net restructuring credit of approximately $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily to adjust restructuring reserves that are no longer required for certain workforce reductions. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded approximately $15 million and $16 million, respectively, of net restructuring costs, primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to record further restructuring expenses of approximately $1 million through the first half of 2024.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, our Polyurethanes segment implemented a restructuring program to optimize its downstream footprint. During the second quarter of 2022, this optimization program was further expanded to include the entire Polyurethanes business. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $4 million, $10 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2023 and 2022, this net expense primarily related to workforce reductions. During 2021, this net expense primarily related to workforce reductions and accelerated depreciation, partially offset by a gain on the sale of assets of approximately $3 million. We do not expect to record further significant restructuring expenses.

F- 24

 

Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, our Advanced Materials segment implemented restructuring programs in connection with our 2020 acquisition of CVC Thermoset Specialties, the alignment of the segment’s commercial organization and optimization of the segment’s manufacturing processes. In connection with these restructuring programs, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $4 million, $8 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to a site closure and accelerated depreciation. We expect to record further restructuring expenses of approximately $1 million through the first half of 2024.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, our Corporate function implemented restructuring programs to optimize our global approaches to leveraging managed services in various information technology functions and to align and optimize our supply chain and EHS processes and systems. In connection with these restructuring programs, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily related to workforce reductions.

Direct and Subsidiary Debt

Substantially all of our debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International); Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

Certain of our subsidiaries have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Debt Issuance Costs

We record debt issuance costs related to a debt liability on the balance sheets as a reduction in the face amount of that debt liability. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount of debt issuance costs directly reducing the debt liability was $7 million and $8 million, respectively. We record the amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 20, 2022, Huntsman International entered into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings will bear interest at the rates specified in the credit agreement governing the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, which will vary based on the type of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. Under the credit agreement, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee rates are also subject to adjustments based on the Company’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to annual percentage reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity and annual percentage reduction in water consumption intensity. Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the credit agreement will mature in May 2027. Huntsman International may increase the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility commitments up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with entering into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, Huntsman International terminated all commitments and repaid all obligations under its 2018 $1.2 billion senior unsecured credit facility.

The following table presents certain amounts under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023 (monetary amounts in millions):

						Unamortized
						discounts and
	Committed		Principal			debt issuance		Carrying
Facility	amount		outstanding			costs		value		Interest rate(2)	Maturity
2023 Revolving Credit Facility	$	1,200	$	—	(1)	$	—	$	—	Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.525%	May 2027

(1)	On December 31, 2023, we had an additional $4 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.
(2)	Interest rates on borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility vary based on the type of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. The representative interest rate as of December 31, 2023 was 1.525% above Term SOFR.

A/R Programs

Our A/R Programs are structured so that we transfer certain of our trade receivables to the U.S. special purpose entity (“U.S. SPE”) and the European special purpose entity (“EU SPE”) in transactions intended to be true sales or true contributions. The receivables collateralize debt incurred by the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE.

On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.

Information regarding our A/R Programs as of December 31, 2023 was as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

		Maximum funding		Amount
Facility	Maturity	availability(1)		outstanding			Interest rate(2)
U.S. A/R Program	July 2024	$	150	$	110	(3)	Applicable rate plus 0.90%
EU A/R Program	July 2024	€	100	€	53		Applicable rate plus 1.30%
		(or approximately $111)		(or approximately $59)

(1) The amount of actual availability under our A/R Programs may be lower based on the level of eligible receivables sold, changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred, as defined in the applicable agreements.

(2) The applicable rate for our U.S. A/R Program is defined by the lender as Term SOFR. The applicable rate for our EU A/R Program is either Term SOFR, EURIBOR or SONIA (Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate). 

(3) As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $6 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $224 million and $272 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

Senior Notes

As of December 31, 2023, we had outstanding the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

						Unamortized
						premiums,
						discounts
						and debt
Notes	Maturity	Interest rate			Amount outstanding	issuance costs
2025 Senior Notes	April 2025		4.25	%	€300 (€299 carrying value ($332))	$	1
2029 Senior Notes	February 2029		4.50	%	$750 ($742 carrying value)		8
2031 Senior Notes	June 2031		2.95	%	$400 ($397 carrying value)		3

The 2025, 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Huntsman International. The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties, consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease and sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2025, 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holders’ notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.25% per year, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, and are due on April 1, 2025. Huntsman International may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to January 1, 2025 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a ‘‘make-whole’’ premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.50% per year, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, and will mature on May 1, 2029. Huntsman International may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to February 1, 2029 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. Huntsman International may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, on or after February 1, 2029 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2031 Senior Notes bear interest at 2.95% per year, payable semi‑annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and will mature on June 15, 2031. Huntsman International may redeem the 2031 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to March 15, 2031 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make‑whole” premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. Huntsman International may redeem the 2031 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after March 15, 2031 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. ​

On May 26, 2021, Huntsman International completed a $400 million offering of its 2031 Senior Notes. On June 23, 2021, Huntsman International applied the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, to redeem in full $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due 2022 and to pay accrued but unpaid interest of approximately $2 million. In addition, we paid redemption premiums and related fees and expenses of approximately $25 million and recognized a corresponding loss on early extinguishment of debt of $26 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

As of December 31, 2023, AAC, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $26 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. As of December 31, 2023, we have $9 million classified as current debt and $17 million as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. We do not guarantee these loan commitments, and AAC is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations.

Compliance With Covenants

Our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant regarding the leverage ratio of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility also contains other customary covenants and events of default for credit facilities of this type. Upon an event of default that is not cured or waived within any applicable cure periods, in addition to other remedies that may be available to the lenders, the obligations under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated.

The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs’ metrics could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, which could require us to pay off the balance of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility in full and could result in the loss of our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. 

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants governing our material debt instruments, including our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, our A/R Programs and our notes.

Maturities

The scheduled maturities of our debt (excluding debt to affiliates) by year as of December 31, 2023 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Year ending December 31,

15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures. We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in other accumulated comprehensive income (loss).

Interest Rate Risks

Through our borrowing activities, we are exposed to interest rate risk. Such risk arises due to the structure of our debt portfolio, including the mix of fixed and floating interest rates. Actions taken to reduce interest rate risk include managing the mix and rate characteristics of various interest-bearing liabilities, as well as entering into interest rate derivative instruments.

From time to time, we may purchase interest rate swaps and/or other derivative instruments to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating-rate exposures. Under interest rate swaps, we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. 

During 2023, there were no other reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings. The actual amount that will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months may vary from this amount due to changing market conditions. We would be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty to our derivative financial instruments. We anticipate, however, that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Market risk arises from changes in interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various currencies. We enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of three months or less). We do not hedge our currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had approximately $322 million and $315 million, respectively, notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in foreign currency contracts with a term of approximately one month related to continuing operations.

A portion of our debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2023, we have designated approximately €45 million (approximately $50 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amounts recognized on the hedge of our net investment were a loss of $8 million, a loss of $10 million and a loss of $11 million, respectively, and were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Commodity Prices Risk 

Inherent in our business is exposure to price changes for several commodities. However, our exposure to changing commodity prices is somewhat limited since the majority of our raw materials are acquired at posted or market related prices, and sales prices for many of our finished products are at market related prices which are largely set on a monthly or quarterly basis in line with industry practice. Consequently, we may choose to partially hedge our commodity exposures from time to time.

16. FAIR VALUE

The fair values of our financial instruments were as follows (dollars in millions):

	December 31, 2023						December 31, 2022
	Carrying			Estimated			Carrying			Estimated
	value			fair value			value			fair value
Non-qualified employee benefit plan investments	$	15		$	15		$	15		$	15
Investment in Venator		—			—			5			5
Long-term debt (including current portion)		(1,688	)		(1,613	)		(1,737	)		(1,578	)

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The fair values of our senior notes are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded in an active market (Level 1), and the fair values of all our other outstanding debt are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2). Our investment in Venator is marked to fair value, which is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2023, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we held no instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and there were no gains or losses (realized or unrealized) included in earnings for instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

18. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 

Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefit

We provide a trusteed, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) that covers the majority of our U.S. employees. Effective July 1, 2004, the Plan formula for employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement was converted to a cash balance design. For represented employees, participation in the cash balance design was subject to the terms of negotiated contracts. For participating employees, benefits accrued under the prior formula were converted to opening cash balance accounts. The cash balance benefit formula provides annual pay credits from 6% to 12% of eligible pay, depending on age and service, plus accrued interest. 

Beginning July 1, 2014, the Huntsman Defined Benefit Pension Plan was closed to new non-union entrants and as of April 1, 2015, it was closed to new union entrants. In addition, as of January 1, 2015, Rubicon closed its defined benefit plan to new entrants. Following the closure of these plans, new hires have been provided with a defined contribution plan with a non-discretionary employer contribution of 6% of pay and a company match of up to 4% of pay, for a total company contribution of up to 10% of pay. We also sponsor unfunded postretirement benefit plans other than pensions, which provide medical and life insurance benefits. Effective August 1, 2015, the postretirement benefit plans were closed to new entrants.

Our postretirement benefit plans provide access to two fully insured Medicare Part D plans including prescription drug benefits affected by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”). We cannot determine whether the medical benefits provided by our postretirement benefit plans are actuarially equivalent to those provided by the Act. We do not collect a subsidy and our net periodic postretirement benefits cost, and related benefit obligation, do not reflect an amount associated with the subsidy. We do not subsidize the premium cost of these plans; the premiums are entirely paid by the retirees.

We sponsor defined benefit plans in a number of countries outside of the U.S. The availability of these plans and their specific design provisions are consistent with local competitive practices and regulations.

The following table sets forth the funded status of the plans for us and Huntsman International and the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in millions):

During 2023, our overall net unfunded liability in our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans decreased, primarily due to favorable investment returns, partially offset by a decrease in discount rates. Our overall net unfunded liability in our non-U.S. pension plans increased, primarily due to a decrease in discount rates in most countries with significant impacts from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K., partially offset by favorable foreign currency movements on assets and favorable investment returns, primarily from the Netherlands and the U.K.

During 2022, the overall decreases in our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations were primarily due to increases in discount rates. The overall decrease in our non-U.S. pension plan obligation was primarily due to increases in discount rates in most countries with significant impacts from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K., as well as unfavorable investment returns compared to expectations, primarily from the Netherlands and the U.K.

Our investment strategy with respect to pension assets is to pursue an investment plan that, over the long term, is expected to protect the funded status of the plan, enhance the real purchasing power of plan assets and not threaten the plan’s ability to meet currently committed obligations. Additionally, our investment strategy is to achieve returns on plan assets, subject to a prudent level of portfolio risk. Plan assets are invested in a broad range of investments. These investments are diversified in terms of domestic and international equities, both growth and value funds, including small, mid and large capitalization equities; short-term and long-term debt securities; real estate; and cash and cash equivalents. The investments are further diversified within each asset category. The portfolio diversification provides protection against a single investment or asset category having a disproportionate impact on the aggregate performance of the plan assets.

F- 34

 

Our pension plan assets are managed by outside investment managers. The investment managers value our plan assets using quoted market prices, other observable inputs or unobservable inputs. For certain assets, the investment managers obtain third-party appraisals at least annually, which use valuation techniques and inputs specific to the applicable property, market or geographic location. During 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 assets.

We have established target allocations for each asset category. Our pension plan assets are periodically rebalanced based upon our target allocations.

The fair value of plan assets for the pension plans was $2,270 million and $2,127 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following plan assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in millions):

Based upon historical returns, the expectations of our investment committee and outside advisors, the expected long-term rate of return on the pension assets is estimated to be between 4.8% and 7.52%. The asset allocation for our pension plans at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the target allocation for 2024, by asset category, are as follows:

	Target

Equity securities in our pension plans did not include any direct investments in equity securities of our Company or our affiliates at the end of 2023.

Defined Contribution Plans

We have defined contribution plans in a variety of global locations. Our total combined expense for our defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $27 million, $29 million and $24 million, respectively, primarily related to our U.S. plans.

In the U.S., we had a money purchase pension plan that covered substantially all of our domestic employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2004. Employer contributions were made based on a percentage of employees’ earnings (ranging up to 8%). During 2014, we closed this plan to non-union participants, and in 2015, we closed this plan to union associates. We continue to provide equivalent benefits to those who were covered under this plan into their salary deferral account.

We have a salary deferral plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. Plan participants may elect to make voluntary contributions to this plan up to a specified amount of their compensation. We contribute an amount equal to the participant’s contribution, not to exceed 4% of the participant’s compensation. For new hires who are not eligible for the cash balance plan, and associates who were covered by the money purchase pension plan prior to its closure, we contribute an additional amount into their salary deferral accounts, not to exceed 6% of the participant’s compensation.

SUPPLEMENTAL SALARY DEFFERAL PLAN AND SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

The Huntsman Supplemental Savings Plan (the “SSP”) is a non-qualified plan covering key management employees and allows participants to defer amounts that would otherwise be paid as compensation. The participant can defer up to 75% of their salary and bonus each year. This plan also provides benefits that would be provided under the Huntsman Salary Deferral Plan if that plan were not subject to legal limits on the amount of contributions that can be allocated to an individual in a single year. The SSP was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005 to allow eligible executive employees to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Assets of these plans are included in other noncurrent assets and as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $51 million and $41 million, respectively. During each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we expensed approximately $1 million as contributions to the SSP.

The Huntsman Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is an unfunded non-qualified pension plan established to provide certain executive employees with benefits that could not be provided, due to legal limitations, under the Huntsman Defined Benefit Pension Plan, a qualified defined benefit pension plan, and the Huntsman Money Purchase Pension Plan, a qualified money purchase pension plan.

Stock-Based Incentive Plan

On May 5, 2016, our stockholders approved a new Huntsman Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Stock Incentive Plan”), which reserved 8.2 million shares for issuance. The Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Prior Plan”), remains in effect for outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Prior Plan, but no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plan. Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants under both the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan are fixed at the grant date. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 6 million shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. See “Note 23. Stock-Based Compensation Plan.”

International Plans

International employees are covered by various post-employment arrangements consistent with local practices and regulations. Such obligations are included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

During 2023, the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax income (primarily our operations in China (25% statutory rate), Germany (30% statutory rate) and Luxembourg (25% statutory rate)) was offset by the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax losses (primarily our operations in the Netherlands (25.8% statutory rate)), resulting with no difference as compared to the 21% U.S. statutory rate reflected in the reconciliation above. During 2022 and 2021, the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax income (in 2022 and 2021, primarily our operations in China (25% statutory rate), Germany (30% statutory rate) and Luxembourg (25% statutory rate)) was higher than the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax losses, resulting in a net expense of $8 million and $16 million, respectively, as compared to the 21% U.S. statutory rate reflected in the reconciliation above.

During 2021, Albemarle agreed to waive any appeal in connection with an arbitration award we won and pay us $665 million (approximately $465 million, net of related legal fees). Of the $465 million income recorded, $237 million was capital gain for tax purposes. The realization of capital gains allowed us to release the valuation allowance of $237 million ($57 million tax-effected) related to the capital loss carryover and tax basis in our Venator investment, as further discussed below.

Under the U.S. Tax Reform Act’s global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provision, our non-U.S. operations are generally subject to U.S. tax. We have elected to treat the GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred. The stated purpose of the GILTI rules is to generate additional U.S. tax related to income in non-U.S. jurisdictions which incur less than a blended 13.125% non-U.S. tax rate. Our non-U.S. income is subject to a blended rate greater than 13.125%; however, in practice, the GILTI regulations result in additional tax liability as a result of expense allocations which limit our ability to utilize foreign tax credits against the GILTI inclusion. For 2023, 2022 and 2021, we have incurred a tax expense of $3 million, tax expense of $3 million and tax benefit of $4 million, respectively, resulting from these expense allocations, net of other U.S. taxation on foreign operations. Our results for 2021 included a $15 million benefit from the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) provisions of the U.S. Tax Reform Act.

We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed each period on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider cumulative income or losses during the applicable three-year period. Cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period limits our ability to consider other evidence such as our projections for the future. Our judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by factors outside of business results, including the costs and risks associated with any tax planning associated with utilizing a deferred tax asset.

As a result of income tax accounting guidance to use a three-year cumulative loss and with the negative economic impacts of recent events, including economic challenges in Europe, we established a $14 million valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset in the United Kingdom as of December 31, 2023 and a $49 million valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset in the Netherlands as of December 31, 2022.

We have gross net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $884 million ($223 million tax-effected) in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. While the majority of the non-U.S. NOLs have no expiration date, $42 million ($7 million tax-effected) have a limited life (of which $2 million are subject to a valuation allowance), of which none are scheduled to expire in 2024. We had no NOLs expire unused in 2023. 

We have gross U.S. federal NOLs of $31 million ($6 million tax-effected), which were primarily acquired through acquisitions subject to tax change of control limitations. We expect to be able to utilize all of these NOLs, and therefore they are not subject to a valuation allowance.

Included in the $884 million of gross non-U.S. NOLs is $256 million ($64 million tax-effected) attributable to our Luxembourg entities. As of December 31, 2023, due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the benefits of these losses, there is a valuation allowance of $22 million against these net tax-effected NOLs of $64 million.

We have $14 million tax effected federal and state capital loss carryovers, all of which are subject to a valuation allowance. Capital loss carryovers may only be utilized against capital gains and have a 5-year carryforward period, generally expiring at the end of 2028. 

During 2021, we recognized $237 million ($57 million tax-effected) of capital gain from the Albemarle Settlement, of which we utilized $28 million tax-effected of U.S. capital loss carryovers (which were subject to a valuation allowance) and released $29 million tax-effected valuation allowance against the tax basis greater than book basis in our Venator investment that will now be realizable. During 2023, our remaining interest in Venator became worthless as a result of its bankruptcy and we realized a tax capital loss from our tax basis in our Venator investment. The related $29 million tax-effected capital losses are carried back to 2021, since now realized. All of our excess capital losses remain subject to a full valuation allowance.

Uncertainties regarding expected future income in certain jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions and result in additional valuation allowances in future periods, or, in the case of unexpected pre-tax earnings, the release of valuation allowances in future periods.

The following is a summary of changes in the valuation allowance (dollars in millions):

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits (not including interest and penalties) which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $5 million and $7 million, respectively. During 2023, we recorded a $32 million decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits related to the timing of tax losses on our Venator investment. This decrease was offset by a decrease in net deferred tax assets and, therefore, did not affect income tax expense. 

On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma. Due to the sale of these legal entities, our unrecognized tax benefits (and associated interest and penalties) transferred to Archroma with no corresponding income tax benefit for the reduction since we have provided indemnification for pre-acquisition income taxes. 

During 2023, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (federal and various states), Germany, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. During 2022, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (federal and various states), China and Japan. During 2021, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (federal and various states), Germany, Taiwan and Thailand. 

During 2023, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax benefit (not including interest and penalties) of $1 million. During 2022, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense (not including interest and penalties) of $3 million. During 2021, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense (not including interest and penalties) of $3 million. 

We recognized accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense as provided below (dollars in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Interest included in tax expense	$	3	$	3	$	1

	December 31,
	2023		2022
Accrued liability for interest	$	6	$	8

We conduct business globally, and as a result, we file income tax returns in U.S. federal, various U.S. state and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions:

Tax jurisdiction	Open tax years
Belgium	2020 and later
China	2013 and later
Germany	2016 and later
Hong Kong	2018 and later
India	2006 and later
Italy	2018 and later
Mexico	2022 and later
Switzerland	2017 and later
The Netherlands	2020 and later
United Kingdom	2020 and later
United States federal	2017 and later

Certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities and the amounts ultimately agreed upon in resolution of the issues raised may differ materially from the amounts accrued.

We estimate that it is reasonably possible that certain of our unrecognized tax benefits could change within 12 months of the reporting date with a resulting decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits within a reasonably possible range of $1 million to $2 million. For the 12-month period from the reporting date, we would expect that a decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits would result in a $1 million benefit to our income tax expense.

In connection with the provisions of U.S. Tax Reform, all non-U.S. earnings have generally been subject to U.S. tax and may be repatriated without incurring additional U.S. tax liability. Such repatriation may potentially be subject to limited foreign withholding taxes. We intend to continue to invest most of these earnings indefinitely within the local countries and do not expect to incur any significant additional taxes. There are certain countries where we do intend to repatriate some of our earnings, and we have accrued all withholding taxes for such amounts.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

We have various purchase commitments extending through 2030 for materials, supplies and services entered into in the ordinary course of business. Included in the purchase commitments table below are contracts which require minimum volume purchases that extend beyond one year or are renewable annually and have been renewed in 2023. Certain contracts allow for changes in minimum required purchase volumes in the event of a temporary or permanent shutdown of a facility. To the extent the contract requires a minimum notice period, such notice period has been included in the table below. The contractual purchase prices for substantially all of these contracts are variable based upon market prices, subject to annual negotiations. We have estimated our contractual obligations by using the terms of our current pricing for each contract. We also have a limited number of contracts which require a minimum payment even if no volume is purchased. We believe that all of our purchase obligations will be utilized in our normal operations. We made minimum payments of $4 million, $3 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, under such take or pay contracts without taking the product.

Total purchase commitments as of December 31, 2023 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Year ending December 31,
2024	$	2,109
2025		1,507
2026		1,085

Legal Matters

On April 29, 2022, a New Orleans jury awarded us approximately $94 million in our long-running court battle against Praxair/Linde, one of the industrial gas suppliers to our Geismar, Louisiana MDI manufacturing site. The case was filed after Praxair refused to properly maintain its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gas needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After adding mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest to the award, we expect damages to exceed $125 million before deducting for taxes and legal fees. The award is subject to a pending appeal, and if affirmed, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $50 million to $60 million. We have not yet recognized the award in our consolidated statements of operations and the timing of the resolution of this matter is unknown.

We are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various environmental, products liability and other laws. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

21. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHS Capital Expenditures

We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $30 million, $44 million and $36 million, respectively. Because capital expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, our capital expenditures for EHS matters have varied significantly from year to year and we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts we may spend related to EHS and other applicable laws.

Environmental Reserves

We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are calculated using present value techniques as appropriate and are based upon requirements placed upon us by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $5 million for environmental liabilities for both  December 31, 2023 and 2022. Of these amounts, $2 million and $1 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3 million and $4 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of  December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

Environmental Matters

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, a current or former owner or operator of real property in the U.S. may be liable for remediation costs regardless of whether the release or disposal of hazardous substances was in compliance with law at the time it occurred, and a current owner or operator may be liable regardless of whether it owned or operated the facility at the time of the release. Outside the U.S., analogous contaminated property laws can hold past owners and/or operators liable for remediation at former facilities. Currently, there are approximately six former facilities or third-party sites in the U.S. for which we have been notified of potential claims against us for cleanup liabilities, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect these third-party claims to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties. Similar laws exist in a number of non-U.S. locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our Geismar, Louisiana facility is the subject of ongoing remediation requirements imposed under RCRA.

22. HUNTSMAN CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

On October 26, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program of $1 billion. In conjunction with the inception of this plan, we retired our prior share repurchase program. On March 25, 2022, our Board of Directors increased the authorization of our existing share repurchase program from $1 billion to $2 billion. The share repurchase program is supported by our free cash flow generation. Repurchases may be made in the open market, including through accelerated share repurchase programs, or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 13,093,375 shares of our common stock for approximately $350 million, including commissions, under this share repurchase program. 

Dividends on Common Stock

The following tables represent dividends on common stock for our Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in millions, except per share payment amounts):

	Per share		Dividends

December 31, 2022		0.2125		40

23. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants under both the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan are fixed at the grant date. Initially, there were approximately 8.2 million shares available for issuance under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. However, the number of shares available for issuance may be adjusted to include any shares surrendered, exchanged, forfeited or settled in cash pursuant to the Prior Plan. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 6 million shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Outstanding stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period. 

The compensation cost under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan for our Company and Huntsman International were as follows (dollars in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Huntsman Corporation compensation cost	$	28	$	29	$	30
Huntsman International compensation cost		27		27		29

The total income tax benefit recognized in the statement of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements was $3 million, $8 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted averages of the assumptions utilized for all stock options granted during the year. During both of the years ended  December 31, 2023 and 2022, no stock options were granted.

	Year ended December 31,
	2021
Dividend yield		2.3	%
Expected volatility		53.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.7	%
Expected life of stock options granted during the period (in years)		5.9

A summary of stock option activity under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan as of December 31, 2023 and changes during the year then ended is presented below:

						Weighted
				Weighted		average
				average		remaining		Aggregate
				exercise		contractual		intrinsic
Option awards	Shares			price		term		value
	(in thousands)					(years)		(in millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2023		3,413		$	21.93
Exercised		(467	)		20.09
Forfeited		(56	)		30.44
Outstanding at December 31, 2023		2,890			22.06		3.7	$	12
Exercisable at December 31, 2023		2,818			21.90		3.6		12

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during 2021 was $11.48 per option. As of December 31, 2023, there was less than $1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.2 years.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $3 million, $12 million and $13 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $5 million, $6 million and $10 million, respectively. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was approximately nil, $2 million and $2 million, respectively.

Nonvested Shares

Nonvested shares granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan consist of restricted stock and performance share unit awards, which are accounted for as equity awards, and phantom stock, which is accounted for as a liability award because it can be settled in either stock or cash. The fair value of each restricted stock and phantom stock award is estimated to be the closing stock price of Huntsman’s stock on the date of grant.

We grant two types of performance share unit awards. For one type of performance share unit award, the performance criteria are total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the three-year performance periods. The fair value of each performance share unit award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 37.6%, 43.5% and 44.9%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 4.38%, 1.67% and 0.2%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a three-year performance period.

During the first quarter of 2022, we issued a second type of performance award, which also includes a market condition. The performance criteria are our corporate free cash flow achieved relative to targets set by management, modified for the total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the two-year performance period. The fair value of each performance share unit award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 37.9% and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.43%. For the performance share unit awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a two-year performance period. No performance share unit awards of this type were granted during the year ended December 31, 2023.

A summary of the status of our nonvested shares as of December 31, 2023 and changes during the year then ended is presented below:

	Equity awards						Liability awards
					Weighted					Weighted
					average					average
					grant-date					grant-date
	Shares				fair value		Shares			fair value

Nonvested at December 31, 2023		1,923				38.71		181			32.75

(1) As of December 31, 2023, a total of 115,685 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 9,400 vested during 2023. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

(2) A total of 264,624 performance share unit awards are reflected in the vested shares in this table, which represents the target number of performance share unit awards for this grant and were included in the balance at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, an additional 132,314 performance share unit awards with a grant date fair value of $22.85 were issued related to this vest due to the target performance criteria being exceeded.

As of December 31, 2023, there was $31 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. The value of share awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $28 million, $31 million and $18 million, respectively.

26. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION 

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of diversified organic chemical products. We have three operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. 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, polyols, TPU and other polyurethane-related products
Performance Products	Performance amines, ethyleneamines and maleic anhydride
Advanced Materials	Technologically-advanced epoxy, phenoxy, acrylic, polyurethane and acrylonitrile-butadiene-based polymer formulations; high performance thermoset resins, curing agents, toughening agents, and carbon nanomaterials

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 following schedule includes revenues and adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments (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 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 and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (c) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (d) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (e) (costs) income associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (f) gain on sale of businesses/assets; (g) income from transition services arrangements; (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j) plant incident remediation credits; (k) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs; and (l) income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

(2) Corporate and other costs, net includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, nonoperating income and expense and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.

(3) Includes costs associated with transition activities relating primarily to our Corporate program to optimize our global approach to leverage shared services capabilities and managed services in various information technology functions.

PART 2 THE FACILITY

2. THE FACILITY

2.1 Facility

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Funding Agent, on behalf of its Lender Group, agrees to make available to the Company a committed revolving loan facility, in an amount not exceeding its Commitment, less its Allocated Share of any LC Exposure outstanding. Each Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms and conditions herein, to issue Letters of Credit in an amount not to exceed the LC Sub-Limit in the aggregate.

(b)    Subject to the foregoing and to the limitations set forth herein, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow the Loans hereunder.

5

2.3 Amount and currency of Loans

(a)    Each borrowing of Loans hereunder (each a “Borrowing”) shall be in a minimum principal amount equal to such amount as will ensure that:

(i)    the aggregate amount advanced by the Lenders in respect of such Borrowing would not be less than $100,000 (provided that such subsequent minimum amount will not apply to the extent that at the time of any Borrowing hereunder the aggregate amount available to be drawn from the Lenders as provided in this Agreement is less than such minimum amount at such time); and

(ii)    in respect of each Loan, the amount advanced by the Lenders in the aggregate would be an integral multiple of $100,000.

(b)    The amount of a Borrowing made on any Borrowing Date shall be less than or equal to the then-applicable Maximum Available Borrowing.

(c)      Each Loan made by the Lenders hereunder shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars.

2.4 Letters of Credit

(a)    General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Period other than the last thirty (30) days prior to the earliest Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension), a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section 2.4), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, such information as is required under Section 3.1 in connection with a Loan, and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. Together with each such request, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) an original or a copy of a written report setting forth a calculation of the Percentage Factor as of the date of the requested issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable and (ii) an executed copy of a Letter of Credit Request Agreement substantially in the form of Schedule 13 to this Agreement to the extent not previously delivered. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit, which application shall be for informational purposes only and shall not alter the Issuing Bank’s obligations hereunder. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sub-Limit on such date, (ii) the total Percentage Factor shall not exceed 100%, (iii) each of the requirements of Section 6.2 shall be satisfied and (iv) in the event that the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 4.4 with respect to some but not all of the Lender Groups, the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit with expiry dates after the termination date of the Commitment of any Nonrenewing Lender Group will not exceed the portion of the Aggregate Commitment attributable to the aggregate Commitments of all Lender Groups that are not Nonrenewing Lender Groups. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. dollars and have an initial stated amount of at least $50,000. The applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Company a copy of, and give the Administrative Agent reasonably prompt notice of the amount of, each Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), and the Administrative Agent, in turn, shall give reasonably prompt notice of the amount thereof to each other Issuing Bank and the Funding Agents. For purposes of determining the stated amount of a Letter of Credit at any time hereunder, such amount shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount (including any automatic increases provided by its terms) of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

6

(c)  Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the earliest Scheduled Commitment Termination Date; provided that, to the extent any Letter of Credit is cash collateralized in an amount equal to 100% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof, including any customary presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to Letters of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be permitted to expire after the earliest Scheduled Commitment Termination Date with the cash collateral to be provided and established on such Scheduled Commitment Termination Date.

(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank, the Funding Agents or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Funding Agent, and each Funding Agent, on the behalf of its Lender Group, hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to the related Lender Group’s Allocated Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Funding Agent hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, the related Lender Group’s Allocated Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Funding Agent acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations on behalf of its Lender Group pursuant to this paragraph in respect of any LC Disbursement is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

7

(e)    Reimbursement. The Company agrees that if an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying, or causing to be paid, to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice; provided that the Company shall conclusively be deemed, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, to have requested that such payment be financed with a Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Funding Agent of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and the Funding Agents’ related Lender Group’s Allocated Share thereof. The Funding Agents shall provide a copy of such notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Funding Agent shall pay or shall cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent its related Lender Group’s Allocated Share of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 3 with respect to Loans made by such Lender Group (and Section 3 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Committed Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lender Groups. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this clause (e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that each related Lender Group has made payments pursuant to this clause (e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to the applicable Funding Agents for the benefit of such Lender Groups and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender Group pursuant to this clause (e) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in this clause (e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder. None of the Secured Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

8

(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not affect any rights or obligations or create any liabilities.

(h)    Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the applicable Interest Rate otherwise applicable to Loans, payable when the reimbursement of such LC Disbursement is payable; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.4 (whether because of the failure to satisfy any condition set forth herein or otherwise), then the Default Rate of interest shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this clause (h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Funding Agent, on behalf of its Lender Group, pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.4 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Funding Agent for distribution to its Lender Group to the extent of such payment.

(i)    Cash Collateralization. The Company agrees that as and to the extent any Letter of Credit is required to be cash collateralized under this Agreement, the Company shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, in an account with the Collateral Agent with regard to such Letter of Credit, in the name of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to 100% of the portion of outstanding LC Exposure relating to such Letters of Credit as collateral security for the payment of all the obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. In addition, the Company in its sole discretion shall be permitted to cash collateralize any Letter of Credit by depositing in an account with the Issuing Bank an amount in cash equal to 100% of the portion of outstanding LC Exposure relating to such Letters of Credit as collateral security for the payment of all the obligations relating to such Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent, in the case of any required Letter of Credit, or the Issuing Bank, in the case of any discretionary Letter of Credit, shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over any such account. Promptly following the termination of any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall cause the funds constituting cash collateral in respect of such Letter of Credit to be released to the Company.

9

3. BORROWING PROCEDURES

3.1 Borrowing Request

(a)    The Company shall request a Borrowing hereunder by submitting to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) a written notice, substantially in the form of Schedule 2 (each, a “Borrowing Request”) on any Business Day that shall be received by the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Business Day (it being understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) (the date of a Borrowing being referred to herein as a “Borrowing Date”). Promptly after its receipt thereof, each Funding Agent shall submit a copy of each Borrowing Request to the Lenders in its Lender Group.

(b)     Each Borrowing Request shall:

(i)   specify the desired amounts for the requested Loans;

(ii)   specify the desired Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii)  [reserved]specify whether such Loan shall accrue interest by  reference to Alternate Base Rate;

(iv)    certify that, after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing, the Maximum Available Borrowing will not be exceeded on such Borrowing Date; and

(v)  during any Non-Pro Rata Funding Period, confirm the Lender Group expected to fund the requested Loans;

(c)     Unless specified otherwise under the Borrowing Request and subject to Section 8.1, each Loan under a Borrowing shall accrue interest by reference to Daily 1M SOFR.

(d)     (c) Only one Borrowing may be requested in each Borrowing Request.

(e)     (d) Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Company.

10

(f)    (e) Borrowings shall be made subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.2.

3.2 Lenders’ Commitment

(a)    Each Loan requested by, or on behalf of, the Company in a Borrowing Request shall be made by the Lender Groups as follows:

(i)    during any Pro Rata Funding Period, in an amount equal to such Lender Group’s Pro Rata Share of each Loan requested; and

(ii)    during any Non-Pro Rata Funding Period, (A) first, so long as the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by the Lender Group specified by the Company in the Borrowing Request (the “Funding Lender Group”) as of the proposed Borrowing Date is less than the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders in such Lender Group, the Funding Lender Group shall make Loans in the amount of each Loan requested until the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by the Funding Lender Group is equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders in such Lender Group, and (B) second, if the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by the Funding Lender Group after giving effect to clause (A) above is equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders in such Funding Lender Group, the other Lender Group (the “Non-Funding Lender Group”) shall make Loans in the amount of each Loan requested until the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by the Non-Funding Lender Group is equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders in the Non-Funding Lender Group.

The Conduit Lender, if any, in each such Lender Group may fund, and if not, the Committed Lenders members of such Lender Group shall fund, such Loan in the amounts set forth above.

(b)    The obligations of any Committed Lender to make Loans hereunder are several from the obligations of any other Committed Lenders. The failure of any Committed Lender to make Loans hereunder shall not release the obligations of any other Committed Lender to make Loans hereunder, but no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make any Loan hereunder.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) a Conduit Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Loan under any circumstances and (ii) a Committed Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Loan:

(i)    at any time on or after the Facility Termination Date;

(ii)    at any time a Facility Event has occurred and is continuing or would arise as a consequence of making such Loan; or

(iii)    if, after funding such Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by such Committed Lender would exceed such Committed Lender’s Available Commitment.

(d)    On each Non-Pro Rata Funding Period Termination Date, the Lender Groups shall make such assignments of Loans among themselves as of such date so that, after giving effect to such assignments of such Loans, each Lender Group is holding its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Principal Balance of Loans outstanding.

11

3.3 Disbursement of Funds

On each Borrowing Date, each Lender Group shall remit an amount equal to its share of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.2(a) to be made on such Borrowing Date, as determined above, to the Company Receipts Account (or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent in writing) in immediately available funds.

4. REPAYMENT;, CHANGES TO COMMITMENTS; PREPAYMENT

4.1 Repayment of Loans

(a)    The Company shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Loan and shall terminate or cash collateralize, in accordance with Section 2.4(i), each outstanding Letter of Credit on the Maturity Date.

(b)    If all or part of an existing Loan made to the Company is to be repaid from the proceeds of all or part of a new Loan to be made to the Company, the amount to be repaid by the Company shall be set off against the amount to be advanced by the Lenders in relation to the new Loan and the party or parties to whom the smaller amount is to be paid shall pay to the other party or parties a sum equal to the difference between the two amounts.

4.2    Payment and Prepayment of Loans; Cash Collateral in Respect of the Letters of Credit

Prior to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.1 above, the Company:

(a)     shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to  Section 21.4, repay the amount of the Loans to the extent so accelerated;

(b)    shall, if on any date the Percentage Factor exceeds 100%, make a prepayment of the Loans or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(i) on such date in an amount sufficient to cause the Percentage Factor to be less than or equal to 100%;

(c)    shall, if on any date the Aggregate Principal Balance exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, make a prepayment of the Loans or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(i) on such date in an amount sufficient to cause the Aggregate Principal Balance to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitment, such prepayment or cash collateralization to be made solely out of Collections available for such purpose pursuant to Section 17 or 18, as applicable; and

(d)    from and after the Facility Termination Date, shall repay the Loans out of Collections available for such purpose pursuant to Section 18.

12

The Company may, at its option, prepay on any Business Day all or any portion of the Loans upon prior written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall (i) specify the aggregate amount of (x) the cash collateral to be provided in respect of the Letters of Credit or (y) prepayment to be made on the Loans and the Loans or Letters of Credit to which such prepayment or cash collateral is to be applied and (ii) specify the Business Day on which the Company will make such prepayment. If a prepayment is made, the amount available in respect of each such prepayment shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

(i)    first, if the Percentage Factor exceeds 100%, to the Lenders in each Lender Group, pro rata in accordance with the aggregate Principal Balance of the outstanding Loans made by each Lender Group, in the amount needed to reduce the Percentage Factor to 100%;

(ii)    second, if a Nonrenewing Lender Group has outstanding Loans, such prepayment shall be made to the Lenders in each Nonrenewing Lender Group until the aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans of such Nonrenewing Lender Group are reduced to zero; and

(iii)    third, to the Lenders in each Lender Group, pro rata in accordance with the aggregate Principal Balance of the outstanding Loans made by each Lender Group.

Each prepayment of the Loans (whether optional or mandatory) must be accompanied by a payment of amounts due hereunder in respect of such prepayment; provided, however, that all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid shall be payable on the next occurring Interest Payment Date.

7.1 Calculation of Interest

(a)    On or before the date that is three (3) Business Days immediately before each Interest Payment Date (or such lesser number of days as may be indicated in a circumstance where the Interest Payment Date falls less than three (3) Business Days from a funding date for a Loan), each Funding Agent shall furnish the Administrative Agent and the Master Servicer with an invoice (addressed to the Company) setting forth the amount of the accrued and unpaid Interest on each Loan funded by the Lender in such Funding Agent’s Lender Group for the relevant Interest Period together with the aggregate amount due to it for each such Interest Period.

Where:

“AM” = the applicable Applicable Margin for each day in the Interest Period;

“LC” = is the difference of (A) the aggregate LC Exposure maintained by that Lender minus (B) the aggregate LC Disbursements maintained by that Lender; and

“DCC” = 1/360.

7.2 Payment of Interest

The Company shall pay each Lender (or the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) accrued (but unpaid) Interest on each Loan on the next Interest Payment Date that occurs after the Borrowing Date relating to such Loan.

8. CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

8.1      Market disruptionDaily 1M SOFR Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting

If the Administrative Agent determines, or, if any Lender notifies its Funding Agent that it has determined, that funding its Loans at LMIR would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Loans at LMIR are not available or (ii) LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost of funding or maintaining a Loan at LMIR, then, the applicable Funding Agent shall suspend the availability of LMIR and the lower of (x) the actual cost of funds applicable to such Lender or (y) the Alternate Base Rate, shall apply to any of the applicable Lender Group’s Loans accruing Interest at LMIR.

(a)     Unascertainable; Increased Costs. If, on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period:

(i)     the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Daily 1M SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or

(ii)     any Lender determines that for any reason that Daily 1M SOFR for any requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such Lender’s Loans, and such Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent;

22

8.2 Benchmark Replacement Setting

(a) Announcements Related to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR (the “IBA”) and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor for the IBA, announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings (collectively, the “Cessation Announcements”). The parties hereto acknowledge that, as a result of the Cessation Announcements, a Benchmark Transition Event occurred on March 5, 2021 with respect to USD LIBOR under clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of Benchmark Transition Event below; provided however, no related Benchmark Replacement Date occurred as of such date.

Then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 8.1(c).

(b)     Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined that the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan accruing interest by reference to Daily 1M SOFR has been made unlawful, by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Requirement of Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 8.1(c).

(c)    Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 8.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Company thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 8.1(b), such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Company.

Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Company to select, convert to or renew a Loan accruing interest by reference to Daily 1M SOFR shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Rate or the applicable Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Company, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.

If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 8.1(a), (A) if the Company has delivered a Borrowing Request for an affected Loan that has not yet been made, the Company may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Loan (to the extent of the affected Loans) or, failing that, such Borrowing Request shall be deemed to request an Alternate Base Rate Loan, (B) any outstanding affected Loans shall be deemed to have been converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 8.1(b) above, the Company shall, subject to the Company’s indemnification obligations under  Section 14, as to any Loan of the Lender to which Daily 1M SOFR applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or prepay such Loan. Absent due notice from the Company of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan upon such specified date.

23

24

(iii)   (e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (iA) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (AI) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (BII) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be no longer representative, then [the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (iiB) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (iA) above either (AI) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (BII) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will no longernot be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor][NTD: not sure how this language applies given that our interest rate is LMIR (daily floating rate based on one-month LIBOR].

(i)    deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the related Funding Agent two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY, or successor applicable form and such other forms, certificates and documentation as may be necessary or appropriate to establish, in each case, that it is entitled to receive payments from the Company without a deduction for U.S. federal withholding tax or with a deduction at a reduced rate.

(a)     specifically requires the explicit instructions of the Administrative Agent; or

(b)     specifically provides that it be taken by the Collateral Agent alone or without any explicit instructions of the Administrative Agent,

then the Collateral Agent may (and shall, to the extent required hereunder) take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders or all the Funding Agents.

37.17 Successors and Assigns

(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b)    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (any such assignee shall be referred to herein as “Acquiring Lender”) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that:

(i)    the amount of the Commitment of an assigning Committed Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Commitment Transfer Supplement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment);

102

(ii)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent a transfer agreement, substantially in the form of Schedule 5 (each, a “Commitment Transfer Supplement”), together with, in the case of any assignment to a Person other than an Eligible Assignee (excluding clause (B) of the definition thereof), a processing and recordation fee payable to the Administrative Agent of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee; and

(iii)    the Acquiring Lender, if it shall not already be a Lender or Liquidity Provider, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent an administrative questionnaire, substantially in the form of Schedule 4 (each, an “Administrative Questionnaire”);

and, provided, further, that any Conduit Lender may assign all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to its Liquidity Provider or a Conduit Assignee of such Lender, which Conduit Assignee is rated at least “A-1” by S&P and at least “P-1” by Moody’s, without consent. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 37.17(e), from and after the effective date of such transfer (A) the Acquiring Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9, 12, 14 and 37.12, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c)    By executing and delivering a Commitment Transfer Supplement, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Acquiring Lender thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and Loans being assigned, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Commitment Transfer Supplement;

(ii)    except as set forth in sub-clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the financial condition of any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Company or the performance or observance by any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Company of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto;

103

(iii)    such Acquiring Lender represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Commitment Transfer Supplement;

(iv)    such Acquiring Lender confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitment Transfer Supplement;

(v)    such Acquiring Lender will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, the Collateral Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(vi)    such Acquiring Lender appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and its related Funding Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and its related Funding Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

(vii)    such Acquiring Lender agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender, and the Commitments of each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register as provided in this Section 37.17(d) shall be conclusive and the Company, the Master Servicer, the Lenders, the Registrar, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Collateral Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In determining whether the holders of the requisite Loans or Commitments have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, any Loans or Commitments owned by the Company, the Master Servicer, the Servicer Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Collateral Agent shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only as Loans of Commitments which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by an assigning Lender, and an Acquiring Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the Acquiring Lender (unless the Acquiring Lender shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 37.17(b) above, (i) the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent shall accept such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) the related Funding Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Lender, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Collateral Agent. No assignment shall be effective unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 37.17(e).

104

(f)    Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (the “Participants”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment); provided, however, that:

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;

(ii)    such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(iii)    the Participants shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 9, 12, and 14, and shall be required to provide the tax forms and certifications described in Section 11.2(d), (e) and (f), to the same extent as if they were Lenders; provided that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than a Lender, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation sold by such Lender to such Participant had no sale occurred;

(iv)    the Company, the Master Servicer, the other Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce its rights under this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans or increasing or extending the Commitments); and

(v)    the sum of the aggregate amount of any Commitment plus the portion of the Principal Balance subject to such participation shall not be less than

$10,000,000.

(g)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 37.17, disclose to the Acquiring Lender or Participant or proposed Acquiring Lender or Participant any information relating to any Originator, the Master Servicer, or the Company furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such entities.

(h)    Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement other than to an Affiliate thereof without the prior written consent of the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

105

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, no transfer or assignment of any interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would result in a prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406 of ERISA or cause the Collateral to be regarded as “plan assets” pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101.

(j)    No provision of the Transaction Documents shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Lender to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of their respective Principal Balance. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender may, in one or a series of transactions, transfer all or any portion of its Principal Balance, and its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to a Conduit Assignee.

(k)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loan and its rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents

(i) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, European Central Bank, Bank of England, or other central bank or (ii) in the case of a Conduit Lender to a collateral agent or a security trustee to secure obligations of such Conduit Lender under its Commercial Paper program and this Section 37.17(k) shall not prohibit or otherwise limit any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(l)    The Company and the Master Servicer agree to assist each Lender, upon its reasonable request, in syndicating its respective Commitments hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder, including making management and representatives of the Master Servicer and the Company reasonably available to participate in informational meetings with potential assignees.

(m)    Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and each Participant’s interest in the Loans and Commitments (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments and Loans) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment or Loan is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

37.18 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts and delivered via fax, e-mail or other electronic means, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

106

37.19 Adjustments; Setoff

(a)    If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive in respect of its Principal Balance any distribution of any amount, including interest or other fees, or any interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such distribution (if any) received by any other Lender in respect of such other Lender’s Principal Balance, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Master Servicer and the Company agree that each Lender so purchasing a Loan (or interest therein) may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder to setoff and appropriate and apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Company. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c)    If and to the extent, but without double counting, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (the “Recipients”) shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor or to any other Person any amount received from the Company under this Agreement, such amount shall be deemed not to have been received by the relevant Recipient but rather to have been retained by the Company and, accordingly, such Recipient shall have a claim against the Company for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

37.20 Limitation of Payments by the Company

The Company’s obligations under Sections 10, 12 and 14 shall be limited to the funds available to the Company which have been properly distributed to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent nor any Lender nor any other Secured Party shall have any actionable claim against the Company for failure to satisfy such obligation because it does not have funds available therefor from amounts properly distributed.

37.21 No Bankruptcy Petition; No Recourse

(a)    The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Lender, the Master Servicer and the Collateral Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Company, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.

107

(b)    Notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein contained, the sole remedy of the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, the Master Servicer, the Collateral Agent, each Lender or any other Person in respect of any obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement of the Company under or related to this Agreement shall be against the assets of the Company, subject to the payment priorities contained in Sections 17 and 18. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent, nor any Lender, nor the Collateral Agent, nor the Master Servicer, nor any other Person shall have any claim against the Company to the extent that such assets are insufficient to meet any such obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement (the difference being referred to herein as “shortfall”) and all claims in respect of the shortfall shall be extinguished. A director, member, independent manager, managing member, officer or employee, as applicable, of the Company shall not have liability for any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any Transaction Document.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each Lender (other than in the case of a Conduit Lender with respect to itself), the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent each hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date which is one year (or, if longer, such preference period as is then applicable) and one day after the latest of (i) the last day of the Amortization Period, (ii) the date on which all Secured Obligations are repaid in full, and (iii) the date on which all outstanding Commercial Paper of each Lender is paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 37.21 (c)), each of the parties hereto hereby agrees with each Conduit Lender that it shall not (i) take, assist or join any corporate action or other steps or legal proceedings for the winding-up, dissolution, examinership or organisation or for the appointment of a receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, trustee, liquidator, examiner, sequestrator or similar officer such Conduit Lender or of any or all its revenues and assets; or (ii) have any right to take any steps for the purpose of obtaining payment of any amounts payable to it under this Agreement by such Conduit Lender and shall not take any steps to recover any debts whatsoever owing to it by such Conduit Lender.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 37.21 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

37.22 Limited Recourse

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each of the parties hereto agrees that the respective obligations of each Conduit Lender under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are solely the corporate obligations of such Conduit Lender and, in the case of obligations of each Conduit Lender other than Commercial Paper, shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to such Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party against such Conduit Lender shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper of such Conduit Lender

108

(b)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 37.22 (a)), each party hereto agrees and acknowledges with each Conduit Lender that (i) it will only have recourse in respect of any amount, claim or obligation due or owing to it by such Conduit Lender (the applicable “Claims”) to the extent of available funds pursuant to and in accordance with the priority of allocation established in such Conduit Lender’s conduit program documents; (ii) following the application of funds following enforcement of the security interests created under such Conduit Lender conduit program documents, subject to and in accordance with such conduit program documents, such Conduit Lender will have no assets available for payment of its obligations thereunder and under this Agreement other than as provided for pursuant to the such conduit program documents, and that any Claims will accordingly be extinguished to the extent of any shortfall; and (iii) the obligations of such Conduit Lender under its conduit program documents and this agreement, in each case, will not be obligations or responsibilities of, or guaranteed by, any other person or entity.

(c)    The provisions of this Section 37.22 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

37.23 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

37.24 Consent to Jurisdiction

(a)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b)    Each of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Collateral Agent and the Originators consent to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 37.16. Nothing in this Section 37.24 shall affect the right of any Lender, the Collateral Agent, any Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

109

(c)    With respect to service of process in the United States, the Master Servicer and each Originator hereby appoint Corporation Service Company as their respective agent for service of process in the United States.

None of the parties shall disclose to any Person any information of a confidential nature of or relating to either the Contributor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, any Funding Agent or the Company, which such party may have obtained as a result of the Transaction (the “Confidential Information”).

(iii) to the extent that the recipient needs to disclose the same for the exercise, protection or enforcement of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Documents or any Contract or against any Obligor or for the purpose of discharging its duties or obligations under or in connection with the Transaction Documents in each case to such persons as require to be informed of such information for such purposes;

(iv) to the extent that the recipient is required to disclose the same pursuant to any requirement of law or any regulatory direction with which the recipient is accustomed or obliged to comply;

Each such prepayment shall be made ratably among the Lenders based on the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of the Loans held by each. Each prepayment of the Loans (whether optional or mandatory) must be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid Interest on the amount prepaid and any other amounts (including amounts payable under Section 10) due hereunder in respect of such prepayment.

(A) the Applicable Margin; and

(B) the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by the Reporting Time for that Loan, to be that which expresses as a percentage per annum its Cost of Funds relating to its participation in that Loan;

(i) deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY, or successor applicable form and such other forms, certificates and documentation as may be necessary or appropriate to establish, in each case, that it is entitled to receive payments from the Company without a deduction for U.S. federal withholding tax or with a deduction at a reduced rate. In the case of a Lender that provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, such Lender shall either (i) claim the benefit of a treaty that provides for a complete exemption from United States withholding tax for payments of interest or (ii) claim the benefit of the U.S. "portfolio interest exemption" by also providing a certification that is not a "bank" making a loan under this Agreement in the ordinary course of its business within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or a person related to the Company in a manner described in Sections 871(h)(3)(B), 881(c)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. If a Lender that provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E is unable to claim a complete exemption from the United States withholding tax because of a change in law after the date such Lender became a party to this Supplement, such Lender will be treated as satisfying the requirements of this Section 11.2(d), as the case may be;

(ii) deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (A) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent and (C) at the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, the Company, the Collateral Agent or the related Funding Agent; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the related Funding Agent;

unless any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to, and is in effect on, the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender (or its Funding Agent) so advises the Company and the related Funding Agent. Each Lender shall certify to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent at the time it first becomes a Lender, and thereafter to the extent provided by law, (i) all such forms are true and complete, (ii) that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (iii) that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 36.17 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer and the related Funding Agent all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section; provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased and such Lender shall provide such forms to the Company with a duly executed Form W-8IMY and withholding statement. If the Company, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has not received the forms set forth in Section 11.2(d), the Company shall withhold taxes from such payment at the applicable statutory rate and shall not be obliged to make increased payments under Section 11.2 until such forms or other documents are delivered.

- 26 -

(e) Each Lender that is a United States Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Company, the Collateral Agent and the related Funding Agent two duly completed copies of the United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor applicable form.

(f) The Company is not required to make any payment under Section 11.2(c) to the extent (a) such payment would be due as the result of the relevant Funding Agent, Lender or Participant not providing the forms required by Section 11.2(d)(i), or 11.2(d)(ii) or (b) such payment is in respect of a FATCA Deduction and would be due as a result of the relevant Funding Agent, Lender or Participant failing to comply with its reporting obligations under FATCA, unless in either case such failure is a result of a change after the date it became a Lender or a Participant under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any Requirement of Law or any published practice or concession of any relevant Taxation Authority.

(g) If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Company shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(h) Within thirty (30) days after making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Company shall deliver to each Funding Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender entitled to that payment that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant Taxation Authority.

(c) Sub-clause (a) above shall not oblige any Facility Indemnified Party to do anything, and sub-clause (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other party to this Agreement to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i) any law or regulation;

(ii) any fiduciary duty; or

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a party to this Agreement fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with sub-clause (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where sub-clause (c) above applies), then such party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

11.4 Tax indemnity

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 11.2; or

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 11.2 but was not so compensated solely because the exclusion in Section 11.2(f) applied.

(c) A Facility Indemnified Party making, or intending to make a claim under clause (a) above shall promptly notify the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

(b) that Facility Indemnified Party has obtained, utilized or retained that Tax Credit,

the Facility Indemnified Party shall pay an amount to the Company which that Facility Indemnified Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Company.

Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 36.17(e), from and after the applicable Transfer Effective Date (A) the Acquiring Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Commitment Transfer Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to Commitment Transfer Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9, 10, 12, 14 and 36.12, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

- 106 -

(c) By executing and delivering a Commitment Transfer Agreement, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Acquiring Lender thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and Loans being assigned, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Commitment Transfer Agreement;

(ii) except as set forth in sub-clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or the financial condition of any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Company or the performance or observance by any Originator, the Master Servicer or the Company of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto;

(iii) such Acquiring Lender represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Commitment Transfer Agreement;

(iv) such Acquiring Lender confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitment Transfer Agreement;

(v) such Acquiring Lender will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, the Collateral Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

- 107 -

(vi) such Acquiring Lender appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and its related Funding Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and its related Funding Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

(vii) such Acquiring Lender agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America a copy of each Commitment Transfer Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender, and the Commitments of each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register as provided in this Section 36.17(c) shall be conclusive and the Company, the Master Servicer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Collateral Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In determining whether the holders of the requisite Loans or Commitments have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, any Loans or Commitments owned by the Company, the Master Servicer, the Servicer Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Collateral Agent shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only as Loans of Commitments which a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Master Servicer, any Originator, the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Commitment Transfer Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and a Acquiring Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the Acquiring Lender (unless the Acquiring Lender shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 36.17(b) above, (i) the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent shall accept such Commitment Transfer Agreement, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) the related Funding Agent shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Lender, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Collateral Agent. No assignment shall be effective unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 36.17(e).

(f) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (the "Participants") in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment); provided, however, that:

- 108 -

(i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;

(iii) the Participants shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 9, 10 and 12, 14, and shall be required to provide the tax forms and certifications described in 11.2 and 11.3, to the same extent as if they were Lenders; provided that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than a Lender, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation sold by such Lender to such Participant had no sale occurred;

(iv) the Company, the Master Servicer, the other Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce its rights under this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans or increasing or extending the Commitments);

(v) the sum of the aggregate amount of any Commitment plus the portion of the Principal Balance subject to such participation shall not be less than €10,000,000; and

(vi) such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 36.17, disclose to the Acquiring Lender or Participant or proposed Acquiring Lender or Participant any information relating to any Originator, the Master Servicer, or the Company furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such entities.

- 109 -

(h) Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder other than to an Affiliate thereof without the prior written consent of the Funding Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, no transfer or assignment of any interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would result in a prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 406 of ERISA or cause the Collateral to be regarded as "plan assets" pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101.

(j) No provision of the Transaction Documents shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Lender to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of their respective Principal Balance. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender may, in one or a series of transactions, transfer all or any portion of its Principal Balance, and its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to a Conduit Assignee or Affiliate Assignee.

(k) Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loan and its rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, European Central Bank, Bank of England or other central bank and this Section 36.17(k) shall not prohibit or otherwise limit to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(l) The Company and the Master Servicer agree to assist each Lender, upon its reasonable request, in syndicating its respective Commitments hereunder or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder, including making management and representatives of the Master Servicer and the Company reasonably available to participate in informational meetings with potential assignees.

36.18 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

- 110 -

36.19 Adjustments; Setoff

(a) If any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive in respect of its Principal Balance any distribution of any amount, including interest or other fees, or any interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such distribution (if any) received by any other Lender in respect of such other Lender's Principal Balance, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender's Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Master Servicer and the Company agree that each Lender so purchasing a Loan (or interest therein) may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder to setoff and appropriate and apply against any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Company. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agents after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) If and to the extent, but without double counting, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (the "Recipients") shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor or to any other Person any amount received from the Company under this Agreement, such amount shall be deemed not to have been received by the relevant Recipient but rather to have been retained by the Company and, accordingly, such Recipient shall have a claim against the Company for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

36.20 Limitation of Payments by the Company

The Company's obligations under Sections 10, 11, 12 and 14 shall be limited to the funds available to the Company which have been properly distributed to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent nor any Lender nor any other Secured Party shall have any actionable claim against the Company for failure to satisfy such obligation because it does not have funds available therefor from amounts properly distributed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of the Company and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee or agent of or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Company of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for this Agreement.

36.21 No Bankruptcy Petition; No Recourse

(a) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Lender, the Master Servicer and the Collateral Agent hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Company, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, examinership, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.

(b) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere herein contained, the sole remedy of the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, the Master Servicer, the Collateral Agent and each Lender or any other person in respect of any obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement of the Company under or related to this Agreement shall be against the assets of the Company, subject to the payment priorities contained in Sections 17 and 18. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Funding Agent, nor any Lender, nor the Collateral Agent, nor the Master Servicer, nor any other person shall have any claim against the Company to the extent that such assets are insufficient to meet any such obligation, covenant, representation, warranty or agreement (the difference being referred to herein as "shortfall") and all claims in respect of the shortfall shall be extinguished. A director, member, independent manager, managing member, officer or employee, as applicable, of the Company shall not have liability for any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any Transaction Document.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each Lender (other than in the case of a Conduit Lender with respect to itself), the Company, the Master Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent each hereby covenant and agree that prior to the date which is one year (or, if longer, such preference period as is then applicable) and one day after the latest of (i) the last day of the Amortization Period, (ii) the date on which all Secured Obligations are repaid in full, and (iii) the date on which all outstanding Commercial Paper of each Lender is paid in full, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, examinership, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceedings under any Applicable Insolvency Laws.

- 112 -

(d) The provisions of this Section 36.21 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

36.22 Limited Recourse

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each of the parties hereto agrees that the respective obligations of each Conduit Lender under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are solely the corporate obligations of such Conduit Lender and, in the case of obligations of each Conduit Lender other than Commercial Paper, shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to such Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit Lender but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party against such Conduit Lender shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper of such Conduit Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee or agent of such Conduit Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, any Manager or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of such Conduit Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee or agent of any Conduit Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, any Manager or any of their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by such Conduit Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or omissions made by them.

(c) The provisions of this Section 36.22 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

- 113 -

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 36.22 (a)), each party hereto agrees and acknowledges with Regency Assets DAC ("Regency") that (i) it will only have recourse in respect of any amount, claim or obligation due or owing to it by Regency (the “Claims”) to the extent of available funds pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Management Agreement and subject to the proviso in such section, which shall be applied, subject to and in accordance with the terms thereof and after all other prior ranking claims in respect thereof have been satisfied and discharged in full; (ii) following the application of funds following enforcement of the security interests created under the Regency Security Documents, subject to and in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Management Agreement, Regency will have no assets available for payment of its obligations under the Regency Security Documents and this Agreement other than as provided for pursuant to the Management Agreement, and that any Claims will accordingly be extinguished to the extent of any shortfall; and (iii) the obligations of Regency under the Regency Security Documents, the Management Agreement and this Agreement will not be obligations or responsibilities of, or guaranteed by, any other person or entity.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

- 114 -

(b) The obligations of each party hereto in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing under this Agreement (the "Applicable Creditor") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due under this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, each party hereto agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

Exhibit 97

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION

CLAWBACK POLICY

PURPOSE

Huntsman Corporation (the “Company”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces the Company’s pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has therefore adopted this policy, which provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws (this “Policy”). This Policy is designed to comply with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the rules promulgated thereunder, and the listing standards of the national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

ADMINISTRATION

This Policy shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). Any determinations made by the Compensation Committee shall be final and binding on all affected individuals.

COVERED EXECUTIVES

This Policy applies to the Company’s current and former executive officers (as determined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder, and the listing standards of the national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed) and such other senior executives or employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to this Policy by the Compensation Committee (collectively, the “Covered Executives”). This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives.

RECOUPMENT; ACCOUNTING RESTATEMENT

In the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement (i) to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or (ii) that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (each an “Accounting Restatement”), the Compensation Committee will reasonably promptly require reimbursement or forfeiture of the Overpayment (as defined below) received by any Covered Executive (x) after beginning service as a Covered Executive, (y) who served as a Covered Executive at any time during the performance period for the applicable Incentive-Based Compensation (as defined below), and (z) during the three (3) completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three (3) completed fiscal years.

INCENTIVE-BASED COMPENSATION

For purposes of this Policy, “Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure, including, but not limited to: (i) non-equity incentive plan awards that are earned solely or in part by satisfying a financial reporting measure performance goal; (ii) bonuses paid from a bonus pool, where the size of the pool is determined solely or in part by satisfying a financial reporting measure performance goal; (iii) other cash awards based on satisfaction of a financial reporting measure performance goal; (iv) restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance share units that are granted or vest solely or in part based on satisfaction of a financial reporting measure performance goal; and (v) proceeds from the sale of shares acquired through an incentive plan that were granted or vested solely or in part based on satisfaction of a financial reporting measure performance goal.

Compensation that would not be considered Incentive-Based Compensation includes, but is not limited to: (i) salaries; (ii) bonuses paid solely based on satisfaction of subjective standards, such as demonstrating leadership, and/or completion of a specified employment period; (iii) non-equity incentive plan awards earned solely based on satisfaction of strategic or operational measures; (iv) wholly time-based equity awards; and (v) discretionary bonuses or other compensation that is not paid from a bonus pool that is determined by satisfying a financial reporting measure performance goal.

A financial reporting measure is: (i) any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing financial statements, or any measure derived wholly or in part from such measure, such as revenues, EBITDA, or net income or (ii) stock price and total shareholder return. Financial reporting measures include, but are not limited to: revenues; net income; operating income; profitability of one or more reportable segments; financial ratios (e.g., accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover rates); net assets or net asset value per share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations; liquidity measures (e.g., working capital, operating cash flow); return measures (e.g., return on invested capital, return on assets); earnings measures (e.g., earnings per share); sales per square foot or same store sales, where sales is subject to an accounting restatement; revenue per user, or average revenue per user, where revenue is subject to an accounting restatement; cost per employee, where cost is subject to an accounting restatement; any of such financial reporting measures relative to a peer group, where the Company’s financial reporting measure is subject to an accounting restatement; and tax basis income.

OVERPAYMENT: AMOUNT SUBJECT TO RECOVERY

The amount to be recovered will be the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation received that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts, and must be computed without regard to any taxes paid (the “Overpayment”). Incentive-Based Compensation is deemed “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the financial reporting measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the vesting, payment or grant of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

2

For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of erroneously awarded compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the Accounting Restatement, the amount must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received, and the Company must maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

METHOD OF RECOUPMENT

The Compensation Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the method or methods for recouping any Overpayment hereunder which may include, without limitation:

● requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive-Based Compensation previously paid;

● seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards granted as Incentive-Based Compensation;

● offsetting any or all of the Overpayment from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered Executive;

● cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and/or

● taking any other remedial or recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

LIMITATION ON RECOVERY; NO ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS

The right to recovery will be limited to Overpayments received during the three (3) completed fiscal years prior to the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three (3) completed fiscal years. In no event shall the Company be required to award Covered Executives an additional payment if the restated or accurate financial results would have resulted in a higher Incentive-Based Compensation payment.

NO INDEMNIFICATION

The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any incorrectly awarded Incentive-Based Compensation.

INTERPRETATION

The Compensation Committee is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. It is intended that this Policy be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules or standards adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

3

EFFECTIVE DATE

This Policy shall be effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”) and shall apply to Incentive-Based Compensation (including Incentive-Based Compensation granted pursuant to arrangements existing prior to the Effective Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Policy shall only apply to Incentive-Based Compensation received (as determined pursuant to this Policy) on or after the effective date of Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

The Board may amend this Policy from time to time in its discretion. The Board may terminate this Policy at any time.

OTHER RECOUPMENT RIGHTS

The Board intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. The Compensation Committee may require that any employment or service agreement, cash-based bonus plan or program, equity award agreement, or similar agreement entered into on or after the adoption of this Policy shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Executive to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, cash-based bonus plan or program, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.

IMPRACTICABILITY

The Compensation Committee shall recover any Overpayment in accordance with this Policy except to the extent that the Compensation Committee determines such recovery would be impracticable because:

(A) The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered;

(B) Recovery would violate home country law of the Company where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; or

(C) Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.

SUCCESSORS

This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.

1. GENERAL

Description of Business

We are a global manufacturer of diversified organic chemical products. We operate in three segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. Our products comprise many different chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a wide range of consumers that consist primarily of industrial and building product manufacturers. Our products are used in a broad range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, coatings and construction, construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, insulation, packaging, power generation and refining. Many of our products offer effects such as premium insulation in homes and buildings and the light weighting of airplanes and automobiles that help conserve energy. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, maleic anhydride and epoxy-based polymer formulations. 

Our company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses, which were founded by Jon M. Huntsman. Mr. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small polystyrene plastics packaging company. Since then, we have transformed through a series of acquisitions and divestitures and now own a global portfolio of businesses with a primary focus on improving energy efficiency. On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a purchase price of $593 million, which includes estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. The final purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Upon the completion of the sale, we received net proceeds of $530 million, determined as the purchase price less $5 million for certain costs paid by Archroma on our behalf, $30 million of estimated net working capital adjustments and $28 million of cash that will be reimbursed to us as part of the final post-closing adjustments anticipated in the first quarter of 2024. For more information, see “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions— Discontinued Operations—Sale of Textile Effects Business.” We operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International Financial Statements

Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the consolidated financial statements for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our consolidated financial statements and Huntsman International’s consolidated financial statements relate primarily to different capital structures and purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the 2003 step-acquisition of Huntsman International Holdings LLC, the former parent company of Huntsman International that was merged into Huntsman International in 2005.

Huntsman International declared and paid to us a distribution in the form of certain affiliate accounts receivable in the fourth quarter of  2022 and during 2023.

Recent Developments 

Dividend Increase

On February 16, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share cash dividend on our common stock. This represents an approximate 5% increase from the previous dividend.

Separation and Acquisition of Assets of SLIC Joint Venture

On January 31, 2024, we completed the planned separation and acquisition of assets of SLIC, our manufacturing joint venture with BASF and three Chinese chemical companies. The final purchase price of the acquired assets will be determined based on an asset valuation, which we currently expect to be completed in the first quarter of 2024. The acquisition of the assets were funded in part with HPS issuing a note payable at closing of approximately $230 million, which is subject to change pending the final valuation. As of January 31, 2024, we made a cash payment of approximately $26 million against the note payable. The remainder of the note payable will be paid off in cash in future quarters. The future proceeds of the acquisition received by SLIC will be distributed back to the respective joint venture partners upon liquidation of the joint venture. We anticipate that the liquidation will occur by mid-2025.

Amendments to Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.

Other Significant Development During 2023

On September 19, 2023, we entered into a share purchase agreement to sell our polyurethanes business in Russia and Belarus. The transaction is subject to government approvals in several jurisdictions in addition to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The timing and final completion of the transaction are uncertain as the requirements to obtain approval of the transaction have been evolving, and we expect the approval process will continue to be subject to unanticipated changes and delays.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets and all amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is based upon current and anticipated undiscounted cash flows, and we recognize an impairment when such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between carrying value and fair value. Fair value is generally estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved or selling price of assets held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash in checking accounts and cash in short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

Cost of Goods Sold

We classify the costs of manufacturing and distributing our products as cost of goods sold. Manufacturing costs include variable costs, primarily raw materials and energy, and fixed expenses directly associated with production. Manufacturing costs also include, among other things, plant site operating costs and overhead (including depreciation), production planning and logistics costs, repair and maintenance costs, plant site purchasing costs, and engineering and technical support costs. Distribution, freight and warehousing costs are also included in cost of goods sold.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain international operations are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent effective. The effectiveness of a cash flow hedging relationship is established at the inception of the hedge, and after inception we perform effectiveness assessments at least every three months. A derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is determined to be effective if the change in value of the hedge divided by the change in value of the hedged item is within a range of 80% to 125%. Hedge ineffectiveness in a cash flow hedge occurs only if the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative hedging instrument exceeds the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the hedged transaction. For a derivative that does not qualify or has not been designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental related restoration and remediation costs are recorded as liabilities when site restoration and environmental remediation and clean-up obligations are either known or considered probable and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. Other environmental expenditures that are principally maintenance or preventative in nature are recorded when expended and incurred and are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. See “Note 21. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters.”

Equity Method Investments

We account for our equity investments where we own a non-controlling interest, but exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, our original cost of the investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the equity investee and reduced by dividends and distributions of capital received, unless the fair value option is elected, in which case the investment balance is marked to fair value each reporting period and the impact of changes in fair value of the equity investment are reported in earnings.

. 

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of our operating subsidiaries outside of the U.S., unless they are operating in highly inflationary economic environments, consider the functional currency to be the currency of the economic environment in which they operate. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at a weighted average rate for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded to equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

If a subsidiary operates in an economic environment that is considered to be highly inflationary (100% cumulative inflation over a three-year period), the U.S. dollar is considered to be the functional currency and gains and losses from remeasurement to the U.S. dollar from the local currency are included in the statement of operations. Where a subsidiary’s operations are effectively run, managed, financed and contracted in U.S. dollars, such as certain finance subsidiaries outside of the U.S., the U.S. dollar is considered to be the functional currency.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations and were a loss of $13 million, a gain of $18 million and a gain of $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. We are required to determine if an income tax position meets the criteria of more likely than not to be realized based on the merits of the position under tax law, in order to recognize an income tax benefit. This requires us to make significant judgments regarding the merits of income tax positions and the application of income tax law. Additionally, if a tax position meets the recognition criteria of more likely than not we are required to make judgments and apply assumptions to measure the amount of the tax benefits to recognize. These judgments are based on the probability of the amount of tax benefits that would be realized if the tax position was challenged by the taxing authorities. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As a consequence, changes in assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements. See “Note 19. Income Taxes.”

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets are stated at cost (fair value at the time of acquisition) and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the life of the related agreement as follows:

	In years
Patents and technology	5 - 30
Trademarks	9 - 30
Licenses and other agreements	5 - 15
Other intangibles	5 - 20

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to any method of amortization, but is tested for impairment annually (at the beginning of the third quarter) and when events and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. When the fair value is less than the carrying value of the related reporting unit, we are required to reduce the amount of goodwill through a charge to earnings. Fair value is estimated using the market approach, as well as the income approach based on discounted cash flow projections. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing.

During 2023 and 2022, goodwill increased by approximately $3 million and decreased by approximately $9 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using average cost, LIFO and first-in first-out methods for different components of inventory.

Leases

The determination of whether a contract is or contains a lease is performed at the lease inception date. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using incremental borrowing rates as the implicit rates are not readily determinable for our leases. The incremental borrowing rates are determined on a collateralized basis and vary from lease to lease depending on the country where the leased asset exists and the term of the lease arrangement. We combine lease components with non-lease components and account for them as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets, except for leases of manufacturing and research facilities and administrative offices. For these assets, non-lease components are separated from lease components and accounted for as normal operating expenses. See “Note 9. Leases.”

Legal Costs

We expense legal costs, including those legal costs incurred in connection with a loss contingency, as incurred.

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Huntsman Corporation

Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as potential dilutive securities. Diluted income per share is computed using the treasury stock method for all stock-based awards. In periods with reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation, all stock-based awards are generally deemed anti-dilutive and would be excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income regardless of whether there is income or loss from discontinued operations and net income.

Basic and diluted income per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023			2022		2021
Numerator:
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation	$	(17	)	$	448	$	996
Net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation	$	101		$	460	$	1,045
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		177.4			201.0		219.2
Dilutive shares:
Stock-based awards		—			2.0		2.2

Additional stock-based awards of 3.1 million, 1.1 million and 1.1 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the respective periods mentioned because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were 1.3 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock included in the total anti-dilutive weighted average equivalent shares of stock noted above as a result of the reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation.

Other Noncurrent Assets

Periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities (a “turnaround”) are accounted for on the deferral basis by capitalizing the costs of the turnaround and amortizing the costs over the estimated period until the next turnaround.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease term as follows:

	In years
Buildings	10 - 40
Plant and equipment	3 - 30
Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements	5 - 20

Interest expense capitalized as part of plant and equipment was $6 million, $7 million and $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Normal maintenance and repairs of plant and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized, and the assets replaced, if any, are retired.

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all of our revenue through product sales in the open market and long-term supply agreements in which revenue is recognized at a point in time. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services, if any, promised in our contracts and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. In substantially all cases, a contract has a single performance obligation to deliver a promised good to the customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, we consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. We have elected to account for all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs. We have also elected to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset that we would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize is based upon the terms stated in the sales contract, which may contain variable consideration such as discounts or rebates. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct product based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order or in the sales contract is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. In order to estimate the applicable variable consideration, we use historical and current trend information to estimate the amount of discounts or rebates to which customers are likely to be entitled. Historically, actual discount or rebate adjustments relative to those estimated and included when determining the transaction price have not materially differed. Payment terms vary but are generally less than one year. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. In the normal course of business, we do not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. We establish provisions for estimated returns based on an analysis of historical experience. See “Note 17. Revenue Recognition.”

Securitization of Accounts Receivable

Under our A/R Programs, we grant an undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to the special purpose entities (“SPE”) in the U.S. and EU. This undivided interest serves as security for the issuance of debt. The A/R Programs provide for financing in U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds. The amounts outstanding under our A/R Programs are accounted for as secured borrowings. See “Note 14. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—A/R Programs.”

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. See “Note 23. Stock-Based Compensation Plan.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS 

Acquisition of GABRIEL Performance Products

On January 15, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Gabriel Performance Products, a North American specialty chemical manufacturer of specialty additives and epoxy curing agents for the coatings, adhesives, sealants and composite end-markets (the “Gabriel Acquisition”), from funds affiliated with Audax Private Equity in an all-cash transaction of approximately $251 million. The purchase price was funded from available liquidity, and the acquired business has been integrated into our Advanced Materials segment. Transaction costs related to this acquisition were approximately $2 million in 2021 and were recorded in other operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations.

We accounted for the Gabriel Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash paid for the Gabriel Acquisition	$	251
Cash	$	9
Accounts receivable		13
Inventories		23
Property, plant and equipment		50
Intangible assets		96
Goodwill		87
Accounts payable		(7	)
Accrued liabilities		(3	)
Deferred income taxes		(17	)
Total fair value of net assets acquired	$	251

The valuation was finalized during the first quarter of 2022. Intangible assets acquired included in this allocation consist of trademarks, technology and trade secrets, which are being amortized over a period of 15 years. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to projected future profitable growth in our Advanced Materials specialty portfolio and synergies. We acquired approximately $94 million of goodwill that will be deductible for income tax purposes.

PRO FORMA INFORMATION FOR ACQUISITIONS

If the Gabriel Acquisition were to have occurred on January 1, 2021, the following estimated pro forma revenues from continuing operations, net income and net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International would have been reported (dollars in millions):

Sale of Textile Effects Business

On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma for a purchase price of $593 million, which includes estimated adjustments to the purchase price for working capital plus the assumption of underfunded pension liabilities. The final purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Upon the completion of the sale, we received net proceeds of $530 million, determined as the purchase price less $5 million for certain costs paid by Archroma on our behalf, $30 million of estimated net working capital adjustments and $28 million of cash that will be reimbursed to us as part of the final post-closing adjustments anticipated in the first quarter of 2024. In connection with the sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $154 million in 2023. During 2023, we have paid cash taxes of approximately $23 million, and we expect to pay additional cash taxes of approximately $15 million.

Sale of India-Based Do-It-Yourself Consumer Adhesives Business

On November 3, 2020, we completed the sale of the India-based do-it-yourself (“DIY”) business to Pidilite Industries Ltd. and received cash of approximately $257 million. In the second quarter of 2021, we received the full payment of $28 million pursuant to an earnout provision based on the DIY business’s achievement of certain sales revenue targets in line with its 2019 performance. As a result, we recognized an additional pretax gain of $28 million in the second quarter of 2021, which was recorded in gain on sale of India-based DIY business in our consolidated statements of operations.

Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator

On December 23, 2020, we completed the sale of approximately 42.4 million ordinary shares of Venator Materials PLC (“Venator”). Concurrent with the sale of ordinary shares, we entered into an option agreement, pursuant to which we granted an option to funds advised by SK Capital Partners, LP to purchase the remaining approximate 9.7 million ordinary shares we held in Venator at $2.15 per share. The option expired on June 23, 2023; however, prior to its expiration, we recorded this option at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. We account for our remaining ownership interest in Venator as an investment in equity securities that are marked to fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net losses of $5 million, $12 million and $28 million, respectively, to record our investment in Venator and related option at fair value. These net losses were recorded in “Fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net” in our consolidated statements of operations.

RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, we implemented a restructuring program to further realign our cost structure with additional restructuring in Europe. This program is associated with all of our segments and includes exiting and consolidating certain facilities, workforce relocation to lower cost locations and further personnel rationalization. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to workforce reductions and accelerated depreciation, partially offset by adjustments to restructuring reserves that are no longer required for certain workforce reductions. We recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to record further restructuring expenses of approximately $4 million through the first half of 2025.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, our Corporate function implemented a restructuring program to optimize our global approach to leveraging shared services capabilities. During the second quarter of 2022, this program was further expanded to include additional geographies. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we evaluated current developments of this program and related anticipated cash costs, and we recorded a net restructuring credit of approximately $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily to adjust restructuring reserves that are no longer required for certain workforce reductions. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded approximately $15 million and $16 million, respectively, of net restructuring costs, primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to record further restructuring expenses of approximately $1 million through the first half of 2024.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, our Polyurethanes segment implemented a restructuring program to optimize its downstream footprint. During the second quarter of 2022, this optimization program was further expanded to include the entire Polyurethanes business. In connection with this restructuring program, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $4 million, $10 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2023 and 2022, this net expense primarily related to workforce reductions. During 2021, this net expense primarily related to workforce reductions and accelerated depreciation, partially offset by a gain on the sale of assets of approximately $3 million. We do not expect to record further significant restructuring expenses.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, our Advanced Materials segment implemented restructuring programs in connection with our 2020 acquisition of CVC Thermoset Specialties, the alignment of the segment’s commercial organization and optimization of the segment’s manufacturing processes. In connection with these restructuring programs, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $4 million, $8 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily related to a site closure and accelerated depreciation. We expect to record further restructuring expenses of approximately $1 million through the first half of 2024.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, our Corporate function implemented restructuring programs to optimize our global approaches to leveraging managed services in various information technology functions and to align and optimize our supply chain and EHS processes and systems. In connection with these restructuring programs, we recorded net restructuring expense of approximately $19 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily related to workforce reductions.

Direct and Subsidiary Debt

Substantially all of our debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International); Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

Certain of our subsidiaries have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Debt Issuance Costs

We record debt issuance costs related to a debt liability on the balance sheets as a reduction in the face amount of that debt liability. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount of debt issuance costs directly reducing the debt liability was $7 million and $8 million, respectively. We record the amortization of debt issuance costs as interest expense.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 20, 2022, Huntsman International entered into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings will bear interest at the rates specified in the credit agreement governing the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, which will vary based on the type of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. Under the credit agreement, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee rates are also subject to adjustments based on the Company’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to annual percentage reduction in operational greenhouse gas emissions intensity and annual percentage reduction in water consumption intensity. Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the credit agreement will mature in May 2027. Huntsman International may increase the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility commitments up to an additional $500 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with entering into the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, Huntsman International terminated all commitments and repaid all obligations under its 2018 $1.2 billion senior unsecured credit facility.

The following table presents certain amounts under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023 (monetary amounts in millions):

						Unamortized
						discounts and
	Committed		Principal			debt issuance		Carrying
Facility	amount		outstanding			costs		value		Interest rate(2)	Maturity
2023 Revolving Credit Facility	$	1,200	$	—	(1)	$	—	$	—	Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.525%	May 2027

(1)	On December 31, 2023, we had an additional $4 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility.
(2)	Interest rates on borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility vary based on the type of loan and Huntsman International’s debt ratings. The representative interest rate as of December 31, 2023 was 1.525% above Term SOFR.

A/R Programs

Our A/R Programs are structured so that we transfer certain of our trade receivables to the U.S. special purpose entity (“U.S. SPE”) and the European special purpose entity (“EU SPE”) in transactions intended to be true sales or true contributions. The receivables collateralize debt incurred by the U.S. SPE and the EU SPE.

On January 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our U.S. A/R Program that extended the scheduled maturity date of our U.S. A/R Program from July 2024 to January 2027. In addition, on January 31, 2024, we entered into an amendment to our EU A/R Program, effective as of February 15, 2024, that extended the scheduled maturity date of our EU A/R Program from July 2024 to July 2027. Aside from the extended maturity dates, these amendments to our A/R Programs secured substantially similar terms as those in the prior agreements.

Information regarding our A/R Programs as of December 31, 2023 was as follows (monetary amounts in millions):

		Maximum funding		Amount
Facility	Maturity	availability(1)		outstanding			Interest rate(2)
U.S. A/R Program	July 2024	$	150	$	110	(3)	Applicable rate plus 0.90%
EU A/R Program	July 2024	€	100	€	53		Applicable rate plus 1.30%
		(or approximately $111)		(or approximately $59)

(1) The amount of actual availability under our A/R Programs may be lower based on the level of eligible receivables sold, changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred, as defined in the applicable agreements.

(2) The applicable rate for our U.S. A/R Program is defined by the lender as Term SOFR. The applicable rate for our EU A/R Program is either Term SOFR, EURIBOR or SONIA (Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate). 

(3) As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $6 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit issued and outstanding under our U.S. A/R Program.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $224 million and $272 million, respectively, of accounts receivable were pledged as collateral under our A/R Programs.

Senior Notes

As of December 31, 2023, we had outstanding the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

						Unamortized
						premiums,
						discounts
						and debt
Notes	Maturity	Interest rate			Amount outstanding	issuance costs
2025 Senior Notes	April 2025		4.25	%	€300 (€299 carrying value ($332))	$	1
2029 Senior Notes	February 2029		4.50	%	$750 ($742 carrying value)		8
2031 Senior Notes	June 2031		2.95	%	$400 ($397 carrying value)		3

The 2025, 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Huntsman International. The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties, consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease and sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2025, 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holders’ notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The 2025 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.25% per year, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, and are due on April 1, 2025. Huntsman International may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to January 1, 2025 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a ‘‘make-whole’’ premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.50% per year, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, and will mature on May 1, 2029. Huntsman International may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to February 1, 2029 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. Huntsman International may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes at any time, in whole or from time to time in part, on or after February 1, 2029 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2031 Senior Notes bear interest at 2.95% per year, payable semi‑annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and will mature on June 15, 2031. Huntsman International may redeem the 2031 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to March 15, 2031 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make‑whole” premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. Huntsman International may redeem the 2031 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after March 15, 2031 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. ​

On May 26, 2021, Huntsman International completed a $400 million offering of its 2031 Senior Notes. On June 23, 2021, Huntsman International applied the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, to redeem in full $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due 2022 and to pay accrued but unpaid interest of approximately $2 million. In addition, we paid redemption premiums and related fees and expenses of approximately $25 million and recognized a corresponding loss on early extinguishment of debt of $26 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

As of December 31, 2023, AAC, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $26 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. As of December 31, 2023, we have $9 million classified as current debt and $17 million as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. We do not guarantee these loan commitments, and AAC is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations.

Compliance With Covenants

Our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant regarding the leverage ratio of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility also contains other customary covenants and events of default for credit facilities of this type. Upon an event of default that is not cured or waived within any applicable cure periods, in addition to other remedies that may be available to the lenders, the obligations under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated.

The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs’ metrics could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, which could require us to pay off the balance of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility in full and could result in the loss of our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. 

We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants governing our material debt instruments, including our 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, our A/R Programs and our notes.

Maturities

The scheduled maturities of our debt (excluding debt to affiliates) by year as of December 31, 2023 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Note 15 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

Notes to Financial Statements

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures. We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in other accumulated comprehensive income (loss).

Interest Rate Risks

Through our borrowing activities, we are exposed to interest rate risk. Such risk arises due to the structure of our debt portfolio, including the mix of fixed and floating interest rates. Actions taken to reduce interest rate risk include managing the mix and rate characteristics of various interest-bearing liabilities, as well as entering into interest rate derivative instruments.

From time to time, we may purchase interest rate swaps and/or other derivative instruments to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our floating-rate exposures. Under interest rate swaps, we agree with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. 

During 2023, there were no other reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings. The actual amount that will be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months may vary from this amount due to changing market conditions. We would be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty to our derivative financial instruments. We anticipate, however, that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Market risk arises from changes in interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various currencies. We enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of three months or less). We do not hedge our currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had approximately $322 million and $315 million, respectively, notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in foreign currency contracts with a term of approximately one month related to continuing operations.

A portion of our debt is denominated in euros. We also finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of December 31, 2023, we have designated approximately €45 million (approximately $50 million) of euro-denominated debt as a hedge of our net investment. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amounts recognized on the hedge of our net investment were a loss of $8 million, a loss of $10 million and a loss of $11 million, respectively, and were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Commodity Prices Risk 

Inherent in our business is exposure to price changes for several commodities. However, our exposure to changing commodity prices is somewhat limited since the majority of our raw materials are acquired at posted or market related prices, and sales prices for many of our finished products are at market related prices which are largely set on a monthly or quarterly basis in line with industry practice. Consequently, we may choose to partially hedge our commodity exposures from time to time.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The fair values of our senior notes are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded in an active market (Level 1), and the fair values of all our other outstanding debt are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2). Our investment in Venator is marked to fair value, which is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2023, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we held no instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and there were no gains or losses (realized or unrealized) included in earnings for instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans

Retirement Benefits [Text Block]

18. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 

Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefit

We provide a trusteed, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) that covers the majority of our U.S. employees. Effective July 1, 2004, the Plan formula for employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement was converted to a cash balance design. For represented employees, participation in the cash balance design was subject to the terms of negotiated contracts. For participating employees, benefits accrued under the prior formula were converted to opening cash balance accounts. The cash balance benefit formula provides annual pay credits from 6% to 12% of eligible pay, depending on age and service, plus accrued interest. 

Beginning July 1, 2014, the Huntsman Defined Benefit Pension Plan was closed to new non-union entrants and as of April 1, 2015, it was closed to new union entrants. In addition, as of January 1, 2015, Rubicon closed its defined benefit plan to new entrants. Following the closure of these plans, new hires have been provided with a defined contribution plan with a non-discretionary employer contribution of 6% of pay and a company match of up to 4% of pay, for a total company contribution of up to 10% of pay. We also sponsor unfunded postretirement benefit plans other than pensions, which provide medical and life insurance benefits. Effective August 1, 2015, the postretirement benefit plans were closed to new entrants.

Our postretirement benefit plans provide access to two fully insured Medicare Part D plans including prescription drug benefits affected by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”). We cannot determine whether the medical benefits provided by our postretirement benefit plans are actuarially equivalent to those provided by the Act. We do not collect a subsidy and our net periodic postretirement benefits cost, and related benefit obligation, do not reflect an amount associated with the subsidy. We do not subsidize the premium cost of these plans; the premiums are entirely paid by the retirees.

We sponsor defined benefit plans in a number of countries outside of the U.S. The availability of these plans and their specific design provisions are consistent with local competitive practices and regulations.

The following table sets forth the funded status of the plans for us and Huntsman International and the amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in millions):

	Defined benefit plans												Other postretirement benefit plans

During 2023, our overall net unfunded liability in our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans decreased, primarily due to favorable investment returns, partially offset by a decrease in discount rates. Our overall net unfunded liability in our non-U.S. pension plans increased, primarily due to a decrease in discount rates in most countries with significant impacts from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K., partially offset by favorable foreign currency movements on assets and favorable investment returns, primarily from the Netherlands and the U.K.

During 2022, the overall decreases in our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations were primarily due to increases in discount rates. The overall decrease in our non-U.S. pension plan obligation was primarily due to increases in discount rates in most countries with significant impacts from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K., as well as unfavorable investment returns compared to expectations, primarily from the Netherlands and the U.K.

Components of net periodic benefit (credit) cost for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (dollars in millions):

At  December 31, 2023 and 2022, the healthcare trend rate used to measure the expected increase of the cost of benefits was assumed to be 6.5% and 6.75%, respectively, decreasing to 5.0% in 2029 and thereafter.

The projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the defined benefit plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (dollars in millions):

	U.S. plans				Non-U.S. plans

Our investment strategy with respect to pension assets is to pursue an investment plan that, over the long term, is expected to protect the funded status of the plan, enhance the real purchasing power of plan assets and not threaten the plan’s ability to meet currently committed obligations. Additionally, our investment strategy is to achieve returns on plan assets, subject to a prudent level of portfolio risk. Plan assets are invested in a broad range of investments. These investments are diversified in terms of domestic and international equities, both growth and value funds, including small, mid and large capitalization equities; short-term and long-term debt securities; real estate; and cash and cash equivalents. The investments are further diversified within each asset category. The portfolio diversification provides protection against a single investment or asset category having a disproportionate impact on the aggregate performance of the plan assets.

Our pension plan assets are managed by outside investment managers. The investment managers value our plan assets using quoted market prices, other observable inputs or unobservable inputs. For certain assets, the investment managers obtain third-party appraisals at least annually, which use valuation techniques and inputs specific to the applicable property, market or geographic location. During 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 assets.

We have established target allocations for each asset category. Our pension plan assets are periodically rebalanced based upon our target allocations.

The fair value of plan assets for the pension plans was $2,270 million and $2,127 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following plan assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in millions):

Based upon historical returns, the expectations of our investment committee and outside advisors, the expected long-term rate of return on the pension assets is estimated to be between 4.8% and 7.52%. The asset allocation for our pension plans at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the target allocation for 2024, by asset category, are as follows:

	Target

Equity securities in our pension plans did not include any direct investments in equity securities of our Company or our affiliates at the end of 2023.

Defined Contribution Plans

We have defined contribution plans in a variety of global locations. Our total combined expense for our defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $27 million, $29 million and $24 million, respectively, primarily related to our U.S. plans.

In the U.S., we had a money purchase pension plan that covered substantially all of our domestic employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2004. Employer contributions were made based on a percentage of employees’ earnings (ranging up to 8%). During 2014, we closed this plan to non-union participants, and in 2015, we closed this plan to union associates. We continue to provide equivalent benefits to those who were covered under this plan into their salary deferral account.

We have a salary deferral plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. Plan participants may elect to make voluntary contributions to this plan up to a specified amount of their compensation. We contribute an amount equal to the participant’s contribution, not to exceed 4% of the participant’s compensation. For new hires who are not eligible for the cash balance plan, and associates who were covered by the money purchase pension plan prior to its closure, we contribute an additional amount into their salary deferral accounts, not to exceed 6% of the participant’s compensation.

SUPPLEMENTAL SALARY DEFFERAL PLAN AND SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

The Huntsman Supplemental Savings Plan (the “SSP”) is a non-qualified plan covering key management employees and allows participants to defer amounts that would otherwise be paid as compensation. The participant can defer up to 75% of their salary and bonus each year. This plan also provides benefits that would be provided under the Huntsman Salary Deferral Plan if that plan were not subject to legal limits on the amount of contributions that can be allocated to an individual in a single year. The SSP was amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005 to allow eligible executive employees to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Assets of these plans are included in other noncurrent assets and as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $51 million and $41 million, respectively. During each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we expensed approximately $1 million as contributions to the SSP.

The Huntsman Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is an unfunded non-qualified pension plan established to provide certain executive employees with benefits that could not be provided, due to legal limitations, under the Huntsman Defined Benefit Pension Plan, a qualified defined benefit pension plan, and the Huntsman Money Purchase Pension Plan, a qualified money purchase pension plan.

Stock-Based Incentive Plan

On May 5, 2016, our stockholders approved a new Huntsman Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Stock Incentive Plan”), which reserved 8.2 million shares for issuance. The Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Prior Plan”), remains in effect for outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Prior Plan, but no further awards may be granted under the Prior Plan. Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants under both the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan are fixed at the grant date. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 6 million shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. See “Note 23. Stock-Based Compensation Plan.”

International Plans

International employees are covered by various post-employment arrangements consistent with local practices and regulations. Such obligations are included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

During 2023, the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax income (primarily our operations in China (25% statutory rate), Germany (30% statutory rate) and Luxembourg (25% statutory rate)) was offset by the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax losses (primarily our operations in the Netherlands (25.8% statutory rate)), resulting with no difference as compared to the 21% U.S. statutory rate reflected in the reconciliation above. During 2022 and 2021, the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax income (in 2022 and 2021, primarily our operations in China (25% statutory rate), Germany (30% statutory rate) and Luxembourg (25% statutory rate)) was higher than the weighted average statutory rate for countries with pre-tax losses, resulting in a net expense of $8 million and $16 million, respectively, as compared to the 21% U.S. statutory rate reflected in the reconciliation above.

During 2021, Albemarle agreed to waive any appeal in connection with an arbitration award we won and pay us $665 million (approximately $465 million, net of related legal fees). Of the $465 million income recorded, $237 million was capital gain for tax purposes. The realization of capital gains allowed us to release the valuation allowance of $237 million ($57 million tax-effected) related to the capital loss carryover and tax basis in our Venator investment, as further discussed below.

Under the U.S. Tax Reform Act’s global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provision, our non-U.S. operations are generally subject to U.S. tax. We have elected to treat the GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred. The stated purpose of the GILTI rules is to generate additional U.S. tax related to income in non-U.S. jurisdictions which incur less than a blended 13.125% non-U.S. tax rate. Our non-U.S. income is subject to a blended rate greater than 13.125%; however, in practice, the GILTI regulations result in additional tax liability as a result of expense allocations which limit our ability to utilize foreign tax credits against the GILTI inclusion. For 2023, 2022 and 2021, we have incurred a tax expense of $3 million, tax expense of $3 million and tax benefit of $4 million, respectively, resulting from these expense allocations, net of other U.S. taxation on foreign operations. Our results for 2021 included a $15 million benefit from the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) provisions of the U.S. Tax Reform Act.

We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed each period on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider cumulative income or losses during the applicable three-year period. Cumulative losses incurred over the three-year period limits our ability to consider other evidence such as our projections for the future. Our judgments regarding valuation allowances are also influenced by factors outside of business results, including the costs and risks associated with any tax planning associated with utilizing a deferred tax asset.

As a result of income tax accounting guidance to use a three-year cumulative loss and with the negative economic impacts of recent events, including economic challenges in Europe, we established a $14 million valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset in the United Kingdom as of December 31, 2023 and a $49 million valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset in the Netherlands as of December 31, 2022.

We have gross net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $884 million ($223 million tax-effected) in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. While the majority of the non-U.S. NOLs have no expiration date, $42 million ($7 million tax-effected) have a limited life (of which $2 million are subject to a valuation allowance), of which none are scheduled to expire in 2024. We had no NOLs expire unused in 2023. 

We have gross U.S. federal NOLs of $31 million ($6 million tax-effected), which were primarily acquired through acquisitions subject to tax change of control limitations. We expect to be able to utilize all of these NOLs, and therefore they are not subject to a valuation allowance.

Included in the $884 million of gross non-U.S. NOLs is $256 million ($64 million tax-effected) attributable to our Luxembourg entities. As of December 31, 2023, due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the benefits of these losses, there is a valuation allowance of $22 million against these net tax-effected NOLs of $64 million.

We have $14 million tax effected federal and state capital loss carryovers, all of which are subject to a valuation allowance. Capital loss carryovers may only be utilized against capital gains and have a 5-year carryforward period, generally expiring at the end of 2028. 

During 2021, we recognized $237 million ($57 million tax-effected) of capital gain from the Albemarle Settlement, of which we utilized $28 million tax-effected of U.S. capital loss carryovers (which were subject to a valuation allowance) and released $29 million tax-effected valuation allowance against the tax basis greater than book basis in our Venator investment that will now be realizable. During 2023, our remaining interest in Venator became worthless as a result of its bankruptcy and we realized a tax capital loss from our tax basis in our Venator investment. The related $29 million tax-effected capital losses are carried back to 2021, since now realized. All of our excess capital losses remain subject to a full valuation allowance.

Uncertainties regarding expected future income in certain jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions and result in additional valuation allowances in future periods, or, in the case of unexpected pre-tax earnings, the release of valuation allowances in future periods.

The following is a summary of changes in the valuation allowance (dollars in millions):

Huntsman Corporation

	2023			2022			2021

The following is a reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits (dollars in millions):

	2023			2022
Unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1	$	57		$	48
Gross increases and decreases—tax positions taken during a prior period		(50	)		6
Gross increases and decreases—tax positions taken during the current period		—			4
Reductions resulting from the lapse of statues of limitations		(2	)		—
Foreign currency movements		—			(1	)
Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31	$	5		$	57

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits (not including interest and penalties) which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $5 million and $7 million, respectively. During 2023, we recorded a $32 million decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits related to the timing of tax losses on our Venator investment. This decrease was offset by a decrease in net deferred tax assets and, therefore, did not affect income tax expense. 

On February 28, 2023, we completed the sale of our Textile Effects Business to Archroma. Due to the sale of these legal entities, our unrecognized tax benefits (and associated interest and penalties) transferred to Archroma with no corresponding income tax benefit for the reduction since we have provided indemnification for pre-acquisition income taxes. 

During 2023, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (federal and various states), Germany, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. During 2022, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (federal and various states), China and Japan. During 2021, we concluded and settled tax examinations in the U.S. (federal and various states), Germany, Taiwan and Thailand. 

During 2023, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax benefit (not including interest and penalties) of $1 million. During 2022, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense (not including interest and penalties) of $3 million. During 2021, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense (not including interest and penalties) of $3 million. 

We recognized accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense as provided below (dollars in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Interest included in tax expense	$	3	$	3	$	1

	December 31,
	2023		2022
Accrued liability for interest	$	6	$	8

We conduct business globally, and as a result, we file income tax returns in U.S. federal, various U.S. state and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions:

Tax jurisdiction	Open tax years
Belgium	2020 and later
China	2013 and later
Germany	2016 and later
Hong Kong	2018 and later
India	2006 and later
Italy	2018 and later
Mexico	2022 and later
Switzerland	2017 and later
The Netherlands	2020 and later
United Kingdom	2020 and later
United States federal	2017 and later

Certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities and the amounts ultimately agreed upon in resolution of the issues raised may differ materially from the amounts accrued.

We estimate that it is reasonably possible that certain of our unrecognized tax benefits could change within 12 months of the reporting date with a resulting decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits within a reasonably possible range of $1 million to $2 million. For the 12-month period from the reporting date, we would expect that a decrease in our unrecognized tax benefits would result in a $1 million benefit to our income tax expense.

In connection with the provisions of U.S. Tax Reform, all non-U.S. earnings have generally been subject to U.S. tax and may be repatriated without incurring additional U.S. tax liability. Such repatriation may potentially be subject to limited foreign withholding taxes. We intend to continue to invest most of these earnings indefinitely within the local countries and do not expect to incur any significant additional taxes. There are certain countries where we do intend to repatriate some of our earnings, and we have accrued all withholding taxes for such amounts.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

We have various purchase commitments extending through 2030 for materials, supplies and services entered into in the ordinary course of business. Included in the purchase commitments table below are contracts which require minimum volume purchases that extend beyond one year or are renewable annually and have been renewed in 2023. Certain contracts allow for changes in minimum required purchase volumes in the event of a temporary or permanent shutdown of a facility. To the extent the contract requires a minimum notice period, such notice period has been included in the table below. The contractual purchase prices for substantially all of these contracts are variable based upon market prices, subject to annual negotiations. We have estimated our contractual obligations by using the terms of our current pricing for each contract. We also have a limited number of contracts which require a minimum payment even if no volume is purchased. We believe that all of our purchase obligations will be utilized in our normal operations. We made minimum payments of $4 million, $3 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, under such take or pay contracts without taking the product.

Total purchase commitments as of December 31, 2023 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Legal Matters

On April 29, 2022, a New Orleans jury awarded us approximately $94 million in our long-running court battle against Praxair/Linde, one of the industrial gas suppliers to our Geismar, Louisiana MDI manufacturing site. The case was filed after Praxair refused to properly maintain its own Geismar facility and then repeatedly failed to supply our requirements for industrial gas needed to manufacture MDI under long-term supply contracts that expired in 2013. After adding mandatory pre-judgment and post-judgment interest to the award, we expect damages to exceed $125 million before deducting for taxes and legal fees. The award is subject to a pending appeal, and if affirmed, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $50 million to $60 million. We have not yet recognized the award in our consolidated statements of operations and the timing of the resolution of this matter is unknown.

We are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various environmental, products liability and other laws. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

21. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

EHS Capital Expenditures

We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $30 million, $44 million and $36 million, respectively. Because capital expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, our capital expenditures for EHS matters have varied significantly from year to year and we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts we may spend related to EHS and other applicable laws.

Environmental Reserves

We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are calculated using present value techniques as appropriate and are based upon requirements placed upon us by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $5 million for environmental liabilities for both  December 31, 2023 and 2022. Of these amounts, $2 million and $1 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3 million and $4 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of  December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

Environmental Matters

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and similar state laws, a current or former owner or operator of real property in the U.S. may be liable for remediation costs regardless of whether the release or disposal of hazardous substances was in compliance with law at the time it occurred, and a current owner or operator may be liable regardless of whether it owned or operated the facility at the time of the release. Outside the U.S., analogous contaminated property laws can hold past owners and/or operators liable for remediation at former facilities. Currently, there are approximately six former facilities or third-party sites in the U.S. for which we have been notified of potential claims against us for cleanup liabilities, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect these third-party claims to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties. Similar laws exist in a number of non-U.S. locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our Geismar, Louisiana facility is the subject of ongoing remediation requirements imposed under RCRA.

Share Repurchase Program

On October 26, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program of $1 billion. In conjunction with the inception of this plan, we retired our prior share repurchase program. On March 25, 2022, our Board of Directors increased the authorization of our existing share repurchase program from $1 billion to $2 billion. The share repurchase program is supported by our free cash flow generation. Repurchases may be made in the open market, including through accelerated share repurchase programs, or in privately negotiated transactions, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. Shares of common stock acquired through the repurchase program are held in treasury at cost. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 13,093,375 shares of our common stock for approximately $350 million, including commissions, under this share repurchase program.

Notes to Financial Statements

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

23. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance share units and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants under both the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan are fixed at the grant date. Initially, there were approximately 8.2 million shares available for issuance under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. However, the number of shares available for issuance may be adjusted to include any shares surrendered, exchanged, forfeited or settled in cash pursuant to the Prior Plan. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 6 million shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Outstanding stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period. 

The compensation cost under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan for our Company and Huntsman International were as follows (dollars in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Huntsman Corporation compensation cost	$	28	$	29	$	30
Huntsman International compensation cost		27		27		29

The total income tax benefit recognized in the statement of operations for stock-based compensation arrangements was $3 million, $8 million and $3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions noted below represent the weighted averages of the assumptions utilized for all stock options granted during the year. During both of the years ended  December 31, 2023 and 2022, no stock options were granted.

	Year ended December 31,
	2021
Dividend yield		2.3	%
Expected volatility		53.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.7	%
Expected life of stock options granted during the period (in years)		5.9

A summary of stock option activity under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan as of December 31, 2023 and changes during the year then ended is presented below:

						Weighted
				Weighted		average
				average		remaining		Aggregate
				exercise		contractual		intrinsic
Option awards	Shares			price		term		value
	(in thousands)					(years)		(in millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2023		3,413		$	21.93
Exercised		(467	)		20.09
Forfeited		(56	)		30.44
Outstanding at December 31, 2023		2,890			22.06		3.7	$	12
Exercisable at December 31, 2023		2,818			21.90		3.6		12

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during 2021 was $11.48 per option. As of December 31, 2023, there was less than $1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option arrangements granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.2 years.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $3 million, $12 million and $13 million, respectively. Cash received from stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $5 million, $6 million and $10 million, respectively. The cash tax benefit from stock options exercised during each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was approximately nil, $2 million and $2 million, respectively.

Nonvested Shares

Nonvested shares granted under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan consist of restricted stock and performance share unit awards, which are accounted for as equity awards, and phantom stock, which is accounted for as a liability award because it can be settled in either stock or cash. The fair value of each restricted stock and phantom stock award is estimated to be the closing stock price of Huntsman’s stock on the date of grant.

We grant two types of performance share unit awards. For one type of performance share unit award, the performance criteria are total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the three-year performance periods. The fair value of each performance share unit award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 37.6%, 43.5% and 44.9%, respectively, and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 4.38%, 1.67% and 0.2%, respectively. For the performance share unit awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a three-year performance period.

During the first quarter of 2022, we issued a second type of performance award, which also includes a market condition. The performance criteria are our corporate free cash flow achieved relative to targets set by management, modified for the total stockholder return of our common stock relative to the total stockholder return of a specified industry peer group for the two-year performance period. The fair value of each performance share unit award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses various assumptions, including an expected volatility rate and a risk-free interest rate. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the weighted-average expected volatility rate was 37.9% and the weighted average risk-free interest rate was 1.43%. For the performance share unit awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, the number of shares earned varies based upon the Company achieving certain performance criteria over a two-year performance period. No performance share unit awards of this type were granted during the year ended December 31, 2023.

A summary of the status of our nonvested shares as of December 31, 2023 and changes during the year then ended is presented below:

	Equity awards						Liability awards
					Weighted					Weighted
					average					average
					grant-date					grant-date
	Shares				fair value		Shares			fair value
	(in thousands)						(in thousands)
Nonvested at January 1, 2023		1,802			$	35.15		257		$	31.61

Nonvested at December 31, 2023		1,923				38.71		181			32.75

(1) As of December 31, 2023, a total of 115,685 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 9,400 vested during 2023. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

(2) A total of 264,624 performance share unit awards are reflected in the vested shares in this table, which represents the target number of performance share unit awards for this grant and were included in the balance at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, an additional 132,314 performance share unit awards with a grant date fair value of $22.85 were issued related to this vest due to the target performance criteria being exceeded.

As of December 31, 2023, there was $31 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and the Prior Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. The value of share awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $28 million, $31 million and $18 million, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

26. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION 

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of diversified organic chemical products. We have three operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Advanced Materials. 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, polyols, TPU and other polyurethane-related products
Performance Products	Performance amines, ethyleneamines and maleic anhydride
Advanced Materials	Technologically-advanced epoxy, phenoxy, acrylic, polyurethane and acrylonitrile-butadiene-based polymer formulations; high performance thermoset resins, curing agents, toughening agents, and carbon nanomaterials

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 following schedule includes revenues and adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments (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 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 and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) fair value adjustments to Venator investment, net; (c) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (d) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (e) (costs) income associated with the Albemarle Settlement, net; (f) gain on sale of businesses/assets; (g) income from transition services arrangements; (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j) plant incident remediation credits; (k) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs; and (l) income from discontinued operations, net of tax.

(2) Corporate and other costs, net includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, nonoperating income and expense and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.

(3) Includes costs associated with transition activities relating primarily to our Corporate program to optimize our global approach to leverage shared services capabilities and managed services in various information technology functions.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets and all amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is based upon current and anticipated undiscounted cash flows, and we recognize an impairment when such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between carrying value and fair value. Fair value is generally estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved or selling price of assets held for sale.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash in checking accounts and cash in short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

Cost of Goods and Service [Policy Text Block]

Cost of Goods Sold

We classify the costs of manufacturing and distributing our products as cost of goods sold. Manufacturing costs include variable costs, primarily raw materials and energy, and fixed expenses directly associated with production. Manufacturing costs also include, among other things, plant site operating costs and overhead (including depreciation), production planning and logistics costs, repair and maintenance costs, plant site purchasing costs, and engineering and technical support costs. Distribution, freight and warehousing costs are also included in cost of goods sold.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain international operations are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), to the extent effective. The effectiveness of a cash flow hedging relationship is established at the inception of the hedge, and after inception we perform effectiveness assessments at least every three months. A derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is determined to be effective if the change in value of the hedge divided by the change in value of the hedged item is within a range of 80% to 125%. Hedge ineffectiveness in a cash flow hedge occurs only if the cumulative gain or loss on the derivative hedging instrument exceeds the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the hedged transaction. For a derivative that does not qualify or has not been designated as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Environmental Cost, Expense Policy [Policy Text Block]

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental related restoration and remediation costs are recorded as liabilities when site restoration and environmental remediation and clean-up obligations are either known or considered probable and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. Other environmental expenditures that are principally maintenance or preventative in nature are recorded when expended and incurred and are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. See “Note 21. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters.”

Equity Method Investments [Policy Text Block]

Equity Method Investments

We account for our equity investments where we own a non-controlling interest, but exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, our original cost of the investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the equity investee and reduced by dividends and distributions of capital received, unless the fair value option is elected, in which case the investment balance is marked to fair value each reporting period and the impact of changes in fair value of the equity investment are reported in earnings.

. 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of our operating subsidiaries outside of the U.S., unless they are operating in highly inflationary economic environments, consider the functional currency to be the currency of the economic environment in which they operate. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at a weighted average rate for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded to equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

If a subsidiary operates in an economic environment that is considered to be highly inflationary (100% cumulative inflation over a three-year period), the U.S. dollar is considered to be the functional currency and gains and losses from remeasurement to the U.S. dollar from the local currency are included in the statement of operations. Where a subsidiary’s operations are effectively run, managed, financed and contracted in U.S. dollars, such as certain finance subsidiaries outside of the U.S., the U.S. dollar is considered to be the functional currency.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other operating income, net in our consolidated statements of operations and were a loss of $13 million, a gain of $18 million and a gain of $9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on a tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets for each jurisdiction. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. We are required to determine if an income tax position meets the criteria of more likely than not to be realized based on the merits of the position under tax law, in order to recognize an income tax benefit. This requires us to make significant judgments regarding the merits of income tax positions and the application of income tax law. Additionally, if a tax position meets the recognition criteria of more likely than not we are required to make judgments and apply assumptions to measure the amount of the tax benefits to recognize. These judgments are based on the probability of the amount of tax benefits that would be realized if the tax position was challenged by the taxing authorities. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As a consequence, changes in assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements. See “Note 19. Income Taxes.”

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets are stated at cost (fair value at the time of acquisition) and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the life of the related agreement as follows:

	In years
Patents and technology	5 - 30
Trademarks	9 - 30
Licenses and other agreements	5 - 15
Other intangibles	5 - 20

Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not subject to any method of amortization, but is tested for impairment annually (at the beginning of the third quarter) and when events and circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. When the fair value is less than the carrying value of the related reporting unit, we are required to reduce the amount of goodwill through a charge to earnings. Fair value is estimated using the market approach, as well as the income approach based on discounted cash flow projections. Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing.

During 2023 and 2022, goodwill increased by approximately $3 million and decreased by approximately $9 million, respectively, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using average cost, LIFO and first-in first-out methods for different components of inventory.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Leases

The determination of whether a contract is or contains a lease is performed at the lease inception date. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, using incremental borrowing rates as the implicit rates are not readily determinable for our leases. The incremental borrowing rates are determined on a collateralized basis and vary from lease to lease depending on the country where the leased asset exists and the term of the lease arrangement. We combine lease components with non-lease components and account for them as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets, except for leases of manufacturing and research facilities and administrative offices. For these assets, non-lease components are separated from lease components and accounted for as normal operating expenses. See “Note 9. Leases.”

Legal Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Legal Costs

We expense legal costs, including those legal costs incurred in connection with a loss contingency, as incurred.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Net Income Per Share Attributable to Huntsman Corporation

Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as potential dilutive securities. Diluted income per share is computed using the treasury stock method for all stock-based awards. In periods with reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation, all stock-based awards are generally deemed anti-dilutive and would be excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income regardless of whether there is income or loss from discontinued operations and net income.

Basic and diluted income per share is determined using the following information (in millions):

	Year ended December 31,
	2023			2022		2021
Numerator:
(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation	$	(17	)	$	448	$	996
Net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation	$	101		$	460	$	1,045
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding		177.4			201.0		219.2
Dilutive shares:
Stock-based awards		—			2.0		2.2
Total weighted average shares outstanding, including dilutive shares		177.4			203.0		221.4

Additional stock-based awards of 3.1 million, 1.1 million and 1.1 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the respective periods mentioned because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were 1.3 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock included in the total anti-dilutive weighted average equivalent shares of stock noted above as a result of the reported loss from continuing operations attributable to Huntsman Corporation.

Other Noncurrent Assets [Policy Text Block]

Other Noncurrent Assets

Periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities (a “turnaround”) are accounted for on the deferral basis by capitalizing the costs of the turnaround and amortizing the costs over the estimated period until the next turnaround.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease term as follows:

	In years
Buildings	10 - 40
Plant and equipment	3 - 30
Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements	5 - 20

Interest expense capitalized as part of plant and equipment was $6 million, $7 million and $11 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Normal maintenance and repairs of plant and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized, and the assets replaced, if any, are retired.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

We generate substantially all of our revenue through product sales in the open market and long-term supply agreements in which revenue is recognized at a point in time. At contract inception, we assess the goods and services, if any, promised in our contracts and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. In substantially all cases, a contract has a single performance obligation to deliver a promised good to the customer. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, we consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. We have elected to account for all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs. We have also elected to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset that we would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize is based upon the terms stated in the sales contract, which may contain variable consideration such as discounts or rebates. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct product based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order or in the sales contract is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. In order to estimate the applicable variable consideration, we use historical and current trend information to estimate the amount of discounts or rebates to which customers are likely to be entitled. Historically, actual discount or rebate adjustments relative to those estimated and included when determining the transaction price have not materially differed. Payment terms vary but are generally less than one year. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. In the normal course of business, we do not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. We establish provisions for estimated returns based on an analysis of historical experience. See “Note 17. Revenue Recognition.”

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Securitization of Accounts Receivable

Under our A/R Programs, we grant an undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables to the special purpose entities (“SPE”) in the U.S. and EU. This undivided interest serves as security for the issuance of debt. The A/R Programs provide for financing in U.S. dollars, euros and British pounds. The amounts outstanding under our A/R Programs are accounted for as secured borrowings. See “Note 14. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—A/R Programs.”

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost, net of estimated forfeitures, will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. See “Note 23. Stock-Based Compensation Plan.”

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
