Insights

Financial Analyst

Huntsman's Q3 2024 results reveal concerning trends with a $33 million net loss compared to breakeven last year. Key metrics show deterioration: adjusted EBITDA declined 4% to $131 million, while adjusted EPS fell 33% to $0.10. The company faces headwinds in construction and industrial markets, with management describing conditions as "trough."

The balance sheet shows increasing leverage with net debt rising to $1.53 billion, though liquidity remains solid at $1.7 billion. Free cash flow declined to $93 million from $117 million year-over-year. The high effective tax rate of 115% and adjusted rate of 41% are concerning, well above management's long-term target of 22-24%.

Industry Analyst

The results highlight persistent weakness in Huntsman's core segments. Polyurethanes saw margin compression despite 5% higher volumes, while Performance Products and Advanced Materials both reported lower EBITDA. The company's heavy exposure to construction and transportation markets (75% of volumes) suggests continued near-term pressure given the high interest rate environment.

The $350 million bond issuance at 5.7% demonstrates market confidence but adds to interest expense. Management's focus on cost control and balance sheet management appears prudent given market conditions, though meaningful recovery likely depends on interest rate cuts and China stimulus taking effect.

• Third quarter 2024 adjusted net income attributable to Huntsman of $17 million compared to adjusted net income of $27 million in the prior year period; third quarter 2024 adjusted diluted income per share of $0.10 compared to adjusted diluted income per share of $0.15 in the prior year period.
• Third quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $131 million compared to $136 million in the prior year period.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported third quarter 2024 results with revenues of $1,540 million, net loss attributable to Huntsman of $33 million, adjusted net income attributable to Huntsman of $17 million and adjusted EBITDA of $131 million. 

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

"The third quarter was consistent with our outlook of a stable environment at trough conditions in our core construction and industrial markets. Total volumes for the Company did improve 5% in the quarter versus the prior year with stable margins sequentially. Construction and transportation account for approximately three quarters of our volumes and we expect near term trough conditions to persist through a seasonally lower fourth quarter. For the medium to long-term, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and ECB, combined with government stimulus in China, should have a positive impact across our global portfolio, primarily in construction. In the meantime, we are focused on what we control - improving our cost position and our balance sheet strength to maintain optionality to invest in our core businesses in a disciplined manner. We were pleased by the success of our strong bond offering in the third quarter which points to the long-term strength of our portfolio and anticipation of market improvements in the coming years."

Segment Analysis for 3Q24 Compared to 3Q23

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower MDI average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to improved demand and share gains in certain markets. 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 MDI average selling prices and lower equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China, partially offset by lower fixed costs and higher sales volumes.

Performance Products

The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to improved demand in fuels and lubes and coatings and adhesives markets. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressure. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower average selling prices and unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower fixed costs.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to unfavorable sales mix. Sales volumes increased in our aerospace and coatings markets driven by market recovery, partially offset by lower demand in our industrial market. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher fixed costs.

Corporate, LIFO and other

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other was a loss of $34 million as compared to a loss of $41 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from decreases in corporate overhead costs and unallocated foreign currency exchange losses, partially offset by an increase in LIFO valuation losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, our free cash flow from continuing operations was $93 million as compared to $117 million in the same period of 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $1.7 billion of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we spent $41 million on capital expenditures from continuing operations as compared to $50 million in the same period of 2023.  During 2024, we expect to spend between approximately $180 million to $190 million on capital expenditures.

Income Taxes

In the third quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was 115% and our adjusted effective tax rate was 41%. We expect our 2024 adjusted effective tax rate to be between approximately 30% to 34%. We expect our long-term adjusted effective tax rate to be between approximately 22% to 24%.

Footnotes
(1)	We use adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business and for planning and evaluating the performance of our business segments.  We provide adjusted net income (loss) because we feel it provides meaningful insight for the investment community into the performance of our business.  We believe that net income (loss) 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 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss).  Additional information with respect to our use of each of these financial measures follows:
	Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted income (loss) per share, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
	Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from net income (loss):  (a) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; (b) interest expense, net; (c) income taxes; (d) depreciation and amortization; (e) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (f) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs; and further adjusted for certain other items set forth in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA in Table 4 above.
	Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted income (loss) per share are computed by eliminating the after tax impact of the following items from net income (loss): (a) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; (b) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (c) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs; and further adjusted for certain other items set forth in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) in Table 4 above.  The income tax impacts, if any, of each adjusting item represent a ratable allocation of the total difference between the unadjusted tax expense and the total adjusted tax expense, computed without consideration of any adjusting items using a with and without approach.
	We may disclose forward-looking adjusted EBITDA 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, net, certain legal and other settlements and related expenses, gains 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 EBITDA represents the forecast net income on our underlying business operations but does not reflect any adjustments related to the items noted above that may occur and can cause our adjusted EBITDA to differ.
(2)	Management internally uses free cash flow measure: (a) to evaluate our liquidity, (b) evaluate strategic investments, (c) plan stock buyback and dividend levels and (d) evaluate our ability to incur and service debt. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is not a defined term under U.S. GAAP, and it should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures.
(3)	During the first quarter 2023, we completed the divestiture of our Textile Effects business, which is reported as discontinued operations on the income and cash flow statements.
(4)	We believe the adjusted effective tax rate 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. In our view, effective tax rate is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted effective tax rate. The reconciliation of historical adjusted effective tax rate and effective tax rate is set forth in Table 4 above. Please see the reconciliation of our net income to adjusted net income in Table 4 for details regarding the tax impacts of our non-GAAP adjustments.
	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, gains 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.
(5)	Net debt is a measure we use to monitor how much debt we have after taking into account our total cash. We use it as an indicator of our overall financial position, and calculate it by taking our total debt, including the current portion, and subtracting total cash.
(6)	Certain legal and other settlements and related expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes approximately $10 million related to the settlement of a claim in connection with a commercial dispute.
