27. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated and commodity chemical products. We have four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects. We have organized our business and derived our operating segments around differences in product lines. 

 

The major products of each reportable operating segment are as follows:

 

Segment

    

Products

Polyurethanes

 

MDI, polyols, TPU and other polyurethane-related products

Performance Products

 

Specialty amines, ethyleneamines, maleic anhydride and technology licenses

Advanced Materials

 

Basic liquid and solid epoxy resins; specialty resin compounds; cross-linking, matting and curing agents; epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane-based formulations

Textile Effects

 

Textile chemicals and dyes

 

Sales between segments are generally recognized at external market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. We use adjusted EBITDA to measure the financial performance of our global business units and for reporting the results of our operating segments. This measure includes all operating items relating to the businesses. The adjusted EBITDA of operating segments excludes items that principally apply to our Company as a whole. The revenues and adjusted EBITDA for each of our reportable operating segments are as follows (dollars in millions):

We use segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of each segment’s profit or loss. We believe that segment adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects what the chief operating decision maker uses to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their financial performance. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income of Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and certain Corporate and other items, as well as eliminating the following adjustments: (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) merger costs; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) noncontrolling interest of discontinued operations; (e) fair value adjustments to Venator investment and related loss on disposal; (f) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (g) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (h) gain (loss) on sale of businesses/assets; (i) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (j) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (k) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (l) plant incident remediation costs; and (m) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition (costs) credits .
