THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported third quarter 2013 results with revenues of $2,842 million and adjusted EBITDA of $376 million.

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

Our third quarter results were very strong, excluding results from our Pigments business our earnings improved compared to the previous year and quarter. Earnings within our Pigments business have been improving throughout the year and we are encouraged by industry trends. Earnings improved across all of our businesses compared to last quarter.

During the quarter, we announced an agreement with Rockwood Holdings to acquire their Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses. We expect to pursue a public offering of our new combined Pigments business to allow greater investor focus and appreciation for our differentiated businesses. With improving market conditions and pro forma synergies in excess of $130 million we believe this acquisition will add significant shareholder value. We also closed on an acquisition within our Polyurethanes division which strengthens our downstream and specialty capabilities. Both of these transactions are immediately accretive to our earnings.

We recently announced additional restructuring, specifically within our Performance Products business. The future EBITDA benefit of our companywide restructuring efforts is expected to be approximately $140 million; in addition to the approximate $100 million we have already achieved. I am encouraged by our third quarter results and am optimistic about our future prospects.
