CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

        For convenience in this report, the terms "Company," "our," "us" or "we" may be used to refer to Huntsman Corporation and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries and predecessors. In this report, "Huntsman International" refers to Huntsman International LLC (our 100% owned subsidiary) and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

        In this report, we may use, without definition, the common names of competitors or other industry participants. We may also use the common names or abbreviations for certain chemicals or products.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and Huntsman International's interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP") and in management's opinion reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for our Company and Huntsman International.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes and titanium dioxide.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces primarily inorganic chemical products. In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shutdown substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations.

1. GENERAL (Continued)

COMPANY

        Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small packaging company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

        Currently, we operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our 100% owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International's financial statements relate primarily to the following:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

        Our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Rockwood Acquisition

        On October 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. ("Rockwood"), which manufacture and market specialty titanium dioxide and performance additives products (the "Rockwood Acquisition"). We paid $1.04 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and assumed certain unfunded

pension liabilities in connection with the Rockwood Acquisition. The acquisition was financed using a bank term loan.

        The following businesses were acquired from Rockwood:

        The unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of the acquired businesses as of June 30, 2014 and the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in parent company equity of the acquired businesses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 can be found in our current report on Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2014.

        In connection with securing certain regulatory approvals required to complete the Rockwood Acquisition, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Ti02 product line used in printing inks to Henan Billions Chemicals Co., Ltd. The sale does not include any manufacturing assets. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Port Neches Manufacturing Disruption

        During the third quarter of 2014, we experienced an unplanned manufacturing disruption on a production unit at our facility in Port Neches, Texas for approximately three weeks. There were no injuries resulting from the equipment failure. The Port Neches facility manufactures methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), propylene oxide (PO) and propylene glycols (PG). The manufacturing disruption also impacted internal PO supply to downstream derivatives.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2014

        In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting

Date, requiring entities to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that exist at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year of adoption. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2014, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, resolving diversity in practice and clarifying the applicable guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or business within a foreign entity. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2014, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements as either a reduction to a deferred tax asset or as a liability to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this ASU do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2014, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption in Future Periods

        In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, changing the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhancing reporting requirements for discontinued operations. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity will be required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. Further, the amendments in this ASU will require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position.

amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively, and early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, providing guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

ROCKWOOD ACQUISITION

        On October 1, 2014, we completed the Rockwood Acquisition and paid $1.04 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and assumed certain unfunded pension liabilities in connection with the Rockwood Acquisition. For more information, see "Note 1. GeneralRecent DevelopmentsRockwood Acquisition." The majority of the acquired businesses will be integrated into our Pigments segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (unaudited).

        We have accounted for the Rockwood Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The

        The acquisition cost allocation is preliminary pending final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including final valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. For purposes of this preliminary allocation of fair value, we have assigned any excess of the acquisition cost of historical carrying values to property, plant and equipment and no amounts have been allocated to goodwill. It is possible that changes to this allocation could occur. The estimated pro forma revenues and earnings information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 has not been provided as that information is not yet available.

OXID ACQUISITION

        On August 29, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the chemical business of Oxid L.P. (the "Oxid Acquisition"), a privately-held manufacturer and marketer of specialty urethane polyols based in Houston, Texas. The acquisition cost of approximately $76 million consists of cash payments of approximately $66 million and contingent consideration of $10 million. The contingent consideration relates to an earn-out agreement which will be paid over two years if certain conditions are met. Related to this earn-out agreement, $6 million was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The acquired business has been integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant.

        We have accounted for the Oxid Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of

2014 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        In connection with a September 2014 announcement of a feasibility study into a MDI production expansion at our Geismar, Louisiana facility, we concluded that certain capitalized engineering costs associated with a previously planned MDI production expansion at our Rotterdam, The Netherlands facility were impaired and our Polyurethanes segment recorded a noncash impairment charge of $16 million during the third quarter of 2014.

        During 2013, our Performance Products segment initiated a restructuring program to refocus its surfactants business in Europe. In connection with this program, on June 25, 2014 we completed the sale of our European commodity surfactants business, including the ethoxylation facility in Lavera, France to Wilmar. In addition, Wilmar has entered into a multi-year arrangement to purchase certain sulphated surfactant products from our facilities in St. Mihiel, France and Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy. Additionally, we intend to cease production at our Patrica, Italy surfactants facility by late October 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded charges of $23 million primarily related to workforce reductions. We expect to complete this program by the end of 2015.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $12 million primarily related to workforce reductions with our global transformational change program designed to improve the segment's manufacturing efficiencies, enhance its commercial excellence and improve its long-term global competitiveness. We expect to incur charges related to this program through the first quarter of 2015.

        On September 27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness. In connection with this plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $9 million and an $8 million noncash charge for a pension settlement loss associated with this initiative. We expect to incur charges related to this program through 2015. In June 2014, we announced plans for the closure our Qingdao, China plant to be completed by December 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014,

we recorded charges of $6 million primarily related to workforce reductions related to this initiative. We expect to incur charges related to this program through the end of 2016.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our Corporate and other segment recorded charges of $11 million in association with a reorganization of our global information technology organization. We expect to incur charges related to this program through the end of 2015.

2013 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Polyurethanes segment recorded charges of $3 million and reversed charges of $7 million related to workforce reductions in association with our program to reduce annualized fixed costs. Our Polyurethanes segment also recorded pension-related settlement charges of $7 million related to this program.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Performance Products segment recorded charges of $12 million related primarily to workforce reductions in association with plans to refocus our surfactants business in Europe and $5 million primarily related to workforce reductions in our Australian operation.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $33 million primarily related to workforce reductions in association with our global transformational change program designed to improve the segment's manufacturing efficiencies, enhance commercial excellence and improve its long-term global competitiveness.

        On September 27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects business, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness. In connection with this plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $48 million as well as recorded a $6 million noncash charge for a pension settlement loss. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reversed charges of $8 million in relation to our consolidation of manufacturing activities and processes at our site in Basel, Switzerland.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, our Corporate and other segment recorded charges of $11 million primarily related to workforce reductions in association with a reorganization of our global information technology organization.

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

        Huntsman Corporation's direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of a guarantee of certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International). Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

        Certain of our subsidiaries are designated as nonguarantor subsidiaries and have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of September 30, 2014, our senior credit facilities ("Senior Credit Facilities") consisted of our revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"), our extended term loan B facility ("Extended Term

On October 1, 2014, Huntsman International entered into the thirteenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities ("the Credit Agreement"). The amendment increased revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million.

(2)
We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $17 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(3)
The applicable interest rate of the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of September 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balances under the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 3%.

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain of our foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"), and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendment to the Credit Agreement

        On October 15, 2013, Huntsman International entered into a tenth amendment to the Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things, permits us to incur a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (the "New Term Loan") and to increase our Revolving Facility. In August 2014, we entered into the eleventh and twelfth amendments, which modified the Credit Agreement to initially fund the New Term Loan into escrow and completed the increase of our Revolving Facility by $200 million.

        On October 1, 2014, the New Term Loan was used to fund the Rockwood Acquisition. See "Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Rockwood Acquisition." The New Term Loan matures on October 1, 2021 and will amortize in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan, payable quarterly commencing March 31, 2015. The New Term Loan bears interest at an interest rate margin of LIBOR plus 3.00% (subject to a 0.75% floor). The $1.2 billion New Term Loan will be recorded at a carrying value of $1,188 million as of October 1, 2014.

        On June 2, 2014, pursuant to an indenture entered into on December 23, 2013, Huntsman International issued €145 million (approximately $197 million) aggregate principal amount of additional 2021 Senior Notes. The additional notes are recorded at carrying value €150 million (approximately $190 million) as of September 30, 2014.

        The 2021 Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.125% per year payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year and are due on April 15, 2021. Huntsman International may redeem the 2021 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to January 15, 2021 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

        The 2021 Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Huntsman International and are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors. The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of nonguarantor subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2021 Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holder's notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        As of September 30, 2014, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $163 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. Arabian Amines Company is currently not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its loan commitments. We do not guarantee these loan commitments, and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations. Arabian Amines Company's noncompliance with its financial covenants does not affect any of our debt obligations. While the lenders under the loan commitments have agreed to certain modifications, we continue discussions with Arabian Amines Company's lenders and expect to resolve the noncompliance. As of September 30, 2014, the amounts outstanding under these loan commitments were classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of September 30, 2014, we have a loan of $807 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of September 30, 2014 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of September 30, 2014, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program ("U.S. A/R Program"), less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

        We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our U.S. A/R Program and our European accounts receivable securitization program ("European A/R Program" and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, "A/R Programs") and our notes. However, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with certain financial covenants contained under its loan commitments. See "—Variable Interest Entity Debt" above.

7. DEBT (Continued)

        Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

        Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the "Leverage Covenant") which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is calculated at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

        If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

        The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

        We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

        We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $175 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedge was less than $1 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded as other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedge was less than $1million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as

cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income. Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These derivative rate hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the fixed rate contracts as of September 30, 2014 was €12 million (approximately $15 million) and the notional amount of caps as of September 30, 2014 was €22 million (approximately $28 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedges was less than €1 million (less than approximately $1 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil and €1 million (approximately nil and $1 million), respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the hedges.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the swap as of September 30, 2014 was $28 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the swap was $3 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded additional (reduction of) interest expense of nil and ($1) million, respectively, due to changes in fair value of the swap. As of September 30, 2014, Arabian Amines Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its loan commitments. For more information, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Variable Interest Entity Debt."

        In conjunction with the issuance of our 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we made payments of $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties, and on maturity (March 15, 2015) we are required to pay €255 million to these counterparties and will receive $350 million from these counterparties. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of this swap was $30 million and was recorded in current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

        We finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

        Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

        We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of September 30, 2014, we have designated approximately €575 million (approximately $731 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $56 million and $62 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (unaudited). As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately €967 million (approximately $1,229 million) in net euro assets.

        The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1).

        The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2014 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
