THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:HUN) today reported third quarter 2025 results with revenues of $1,460 million, net loss attributable to Huntsman of $25 million, adjusted net loss attributable to Huntsman of $5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $94 million. 

Peter R. Huntsman, Chairman, President, and CEO, commented:

"As we expected, third quarter fundamentals remained consistent with the first half of the year. Volumes improved compared to the prior year while pricing in some parts of the portfolio remained under pressure. Cash generation and cost control remain top priorities for our Company. Our current restructuring programs, that will likely exceed $100 million in savings, remain on track and are expected to be completed in 2026. Additionally, our cash generation over the past year has been strong despite lower levels of profitability, reflecting quick actions taken on working capital and capital expenditure control in an ever-challenging environment. After thorough deliberation, and reflecting the global economic conditions of our industry, our Board decided to reset the regular dividend to 35 cents a share annually, a reduction of 65%. The adjusted dividend payout will allow us to preserve our financial flexibility as we continue to navigate this extended cyclical trough, while also allowing the Company to keep a balanced capital allocation program including a competitive regular dividend. We would anticipate returning to a higher dividend payout as soon as conditions warrant."

Segment Analysis for 3Q25 Compared to 3Q24

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to less favorable supply and demand dynamics. Sales volumes increased primarily in the Americas and Asia regions. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the impacts of lower average selling prices, inventory reductions and lower equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China, partially offset by higher sales volumes, lower raw material costs and cost savings achieved from our cost optimization program.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the closure of our Moers, Germany maleic anhydride facility and overall softening market conditions. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressures. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and margins.

Advanced Materials

The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased primarily due to the positive impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes were essentially unchanged from the same period in 2024. Segment adjusted EBITDA was slightly lower primarily due to an unfavorable impact from inventory reductions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, our free cash flow from continuing operations was $157 million as compared to $93 million in the same period of 2024. As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $1.4 billion of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we spent $43 million on capital expenditures from continuing operations as compared to $41 million in the same period of 2024. During 2025, we expect to spend between approximately $170 million to $180 million on capital expenditures.

Income Taxes

In the third quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was -43% and our adjusted effective tax rate was 40%.
