in 2006 and 2007
Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported third quarter 2011 results with revenues of $2,976 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $345 million.
Peter R. Huntsman, our President and CEO, commented:
"Our third quarter was the strongest in our company's history. Our revenues, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are all stronger than a year ago as we appear to be heading towards a record year.
This past quarter we announced large restructuring plans to mitigate the impact of the strong Swiss Franc and to address the challenging business conditions of the global textile industry. We expect to record cash restructuring charges of approximately $135 million and expect annual benefits of approximately $90 million between our Textile Effects business and our Swiss based Advanced Materials divisions. We expect to see the impact of these changes beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
As satisfied as we feel about our strong quarter, we are still mindful of the sluggish global business conditions. As the economy gradually improves in the coming year, we fully expect stronger earnings from our business as many of our larger product lines are still quite some distance from their peak earnings potential. In short, I am quite pleased with our third quarter results, but expect stronger performance as the global economy returns to more stable growth."
Segment Analysis for 3Q11 Compared to 3Q10
Polyurethanes
The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices and higher MDI sales volumes. Average MDI selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs, improved demand and the strength of European currencies against the U.S. dollar. Average PO/MTBE selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs. MDI sales volumes increased primarily due to improved demand in the insulation, furniture and automotive sectors but were offset by lower PO/MTBE sales volumes. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to higher contribution margins partially offset by higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.
Performance Products
The increase in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to higher average selling prices. Average selling prices increased across almost all product groups primarily in response to higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes were essentially unchanged as the positive impact from the consolidation of our Sasol-Huntsman maleic anhydride joint venture during the second quarter 2011 was offset by lower sales volumes of amines and surfactants. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a planned maintenance outage at our Port Neches, TX facility which had an approximate $8 million negative impact.
Advanced Materials
The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to higher average selling prices partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes decreased in our base resins business partially offset by a modest increase in combined sales volumes in our core formulation systems and specialty components businesses. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins and approximately $7 million of negative foreign currency impact primarily due to the stronger Swiss franc on our manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.
Textile Effects
The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to lower sales volumes partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased due to lower demand. Average selling prices increased primarily due to the strength of major currencies against the U.S. dollar. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and approximately $10 million of negative foreign currency impact primarily due to the stronger Swiss franc on our manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.
Pigments
The increase in revenues in our Pigments division for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was due to higher average selling prices partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in all regions of the world primarily as a result of higher raw material costs and the strength of major European currencies against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower finished goods inventory available for sale and lower global demand. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA in our Pigments division was primarily due to higher contribution margins partially offset by lower sales volumes and higher manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs.
Corporate, LIFO and Other
Corporate, LIFO and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt and unallocated restructuring costs. Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and other decreased by $6 million to a loss of $50 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a loss of $44 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of a $7 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($8 million of loss in 2011 compared to $1 million loss in 2010).
Income Taxes
During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we recorded income tax expense of $55 million compared to $41 million in the same period in 2010. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately 38%. We have tax valuation allowances in countries such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom where our Textile Effects and Pigments businesses have meaningful operations. The increase in forecasted losses in Switzerland from our Textile Effects business during the third quarter, along with other changes in our geographic mix of income, had the effect of increasing our projected effective income tax rate for the year. We are required to adjust our third quarter year-to-date tax rate to our expected full year rate. This resulted in the recognition of more tax expense during the third quarter. We expect our long term effective income tax rate to be approximately 30 - 35% and expect the fourth quarter and full year 2011 adjusted tax rate to be slightly less than that. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we paid $49 million in cash for income taxes. We expect our cash tax rate to continue to be less than our effective income tax rate.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt
As of September 30, 2011, we had $1,024 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $1,434 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease from 2010 year end was primarily attributable to an increase in primary net working capital of $506 million.
During the third quarter of 2011, we redeemed approximately $111 million of our senior subordinated notes due 2015.
On November 1, 2011, we provided notice to redeem all of our remaining 6.875% senior subordinated euro notes due 2013 worth approximately $93 million.
Total capital expenditures, net of reimbursements for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $93 million compared to $54 million for the same period in 2010. We expect to spend approximately $350 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements, in 2011.
On August 5, 2011 we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million in shares of our common stock. During the third quarter of 2011, we acquired approximately four million shares of our outstanding common stock for approximately $50 million under the repurchase program.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating
performance of our business. We provide Adjusted net income
because we feel it provides meaningful insight for the
investment community into the performance of our business.
We believe that net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman
Corporation is the performance measure calculated and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") that is most directly
comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net
income. Additional information with respect to our use of
(1) each of these financial measures follows:
EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman
Corporation before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable
to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The
reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to
Huntsman Corporation is set forth in Table 5 above.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from
EBITDA: gains and losses from discontinued operations;
restructuring, impairment and plant closing (credits) costs;
income and expense associated with the terminated merger and
related litigation; acquisition related expenses; unallocated
foreign currency (gain) loss; certain legal and contract
settlements; losses from early extinguishment of debt; gain on
consolidation of a variable interest entity; extraordinary loss
(gain) on the acquisition of a business; and loss (gain) on
disposition of business/assets. The reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to EBITDA is set forth in Table 4 above.
Adjusted net income (loss) is computed by eliminating the after
tax impact of the following items from net income (loss)
attributable to Huntsman Corporation: loss (income) from
discontinued operations; restructuring, impairment and plant
closing (credits) costs; income and expense associated with the
terminated merger and related litigation; discount amortization
on settlement financing associated with the terminated merger;
acquisition related expenses; unallocated foreign currency (gain)
loss; certain legal and contract settlements; losses on the
early extinguishment of debt; gain on consolidation of a variable
interest entity; extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of
a business; and loss (gain) on disposition of business/assets.
The reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income
(loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders
is set forth in Table 4 above.
During the first quarter of 2010, we began reporting the (income)
loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the reporting
segment to which the subsidiary relates. Previously, (income)
loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was reported in our
Corporate and other segment. All relevant information for prior
periods has been reclassified to reflect these changes.
On November 5, 2007, we completed the sale of our U.S. base
chemicals business to Flint Hills Resources. During the
first quarter 2010 we closed our Australian styrenics
operations. Results from these businesses are treated as
(2) discontinued operations.
