THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported second quarter 2014 results with revenues of $2,988 million and adjusted EBITDA of $363 million. 

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

"We saw strong earnings in the second quarter as a result of increased demand for key products such as MDI and amines and higher selling prices for many of our products. We also benefited from restructuring efforts in our Advanced Materials and Textile Effects businesses. These results are well in line with our earlier forecast of substantial earnings growth in the next two to three years.

We are working closely with the European Commission in its review of the proposed acquisition of Rockwood Holding's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses. We have proposed certain remedies we believe address the Commission's concerns and are confident that final approval will be secured by the end of the third quarter."
