Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported fourth quarter 2014 results with revenues of $2,951 million and adjusted EBITDA of $292 million. 

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

"2014 was a remarkable year for us; our differentiated businesses that include our MDI urethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects collectively increased their adjusted EBITDA by more than $200 million.  I am encouraged by the attractive growth profile of these businesses and expect them to perform even better in 2015. 

We have a number of initiatives underway that will improve the competitiveness and strength of our entire company.  We are investing in growth projects that we expect will add more than $200 million of annual EBITDA over the next few years.  We are aggressively taking action to deliver $130 million of synergies as we integrate the businesses we purchased from Rockwood this past October.  In addition, we recently took action to rationalize our European titanium dioxide capacity with expected EBITDA benefits of approximately $35 million.

Notwithstanding near term headwinds and shocks to the business landscape such as meaningful movements in foreign currency rates and lower priced oil, I believe we are well positioned to deliver increased earnings, an improvement in free cash flow and increased shareholder value over the next several years."

Segment Analysis for 4Q14 Compared to 4Q13

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower PO/MTBE average selling prices and the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies, partially offset by higher MDI local currency average selling prices and increased MDI sales volumes.  PO/MTBE average selling prices decreased following lower pricing for high octane gasoline.  MDI average selling prices increased in the Americas and Europe, partially offset by lower component pricing in China.  MDI sales volumes grew in the Americas and Asia and were essentially flat in Europe.  Adjusted EBITDA was essentially flat as higher MDI margins offset most of the $7 million negative impact from the stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices.  Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the sale of our European surfactants business in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by increased sales volumes in amines and maleic anhydride.  Average selling prices increased in response to higher raw materials costs and continued strong market conditions for amines, maleic anhydride and specialty surfactants, partially offset by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies.  The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and $5 million of inventory revaluation costs as a result of our successful efforts to reduce our investment in inventory.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices and improved sales mix.  Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of certain business and our restructuring efforts.  Average selling prices increased in all regions on a local currency basis and across most markets primarily due to certain price increase initiatives and our focus on higher value markets, partially offset by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies.  The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher contribution margins from our focus on higher value business and lower fixed costs.

Textile Effects

The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices.  Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business and destocking within the fibers and dyes supply chain.  Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs.  The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to $12 million of inventory revaluation costs as a result of our successful efforts to reduce our investment in inventory and higher raw material costs.

Pigments and Additives

Pro forma for the acquisition of Rockwood Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses, revenues decreased in our Pigments and Additives division for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices.  Sales volumes decreased primarily as a result of lower end use demand in Europe which is our largest market.  Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of high titanium dioxide industry inventory levels and the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies.  The decrease in pro forma adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins for titanium dioxide, whereas the combined adjusted EBITDA for additives was essentially flat.

Corporate, LIFO and Other

Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and Other increased by $2 million to a loss of $48 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to a loss of $50 million for the same period in 2013.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outstanding Debt

As of December 31, 2014, we had $1,601 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to $1,048 million at December 31, 2013.

In November 2014, we issued $400 million of 5.125% senior notes due 2022.  We used the proceeds to redeem all of our outstanding 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, pay associated accrued interest and for general corporate purposes.  We expect to save approximately $12 million in annual interest expense as a result of this refinancing.

On October 1, 2014, we successfully completed the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood for $1.04 billion in cash and subject to certain purchase price adjustments.  The acquisition was funded by a new $1.2 billion term loan due 2021.

Total capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $250 million and for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $601 million.  We expect to spend approximately $525 million on base capital expenditures in 2015, net of reimbursements.  In addition, in 2015 we expect to spend approximately $100 million combined on our new Chinese MDI facility, the completion of the Augusta, Georgia color pigments facility and replacement of Rockwood computer systems.

Now that we have completed the preliminary allocation of the purchase accounting for the Rockwood Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses, we expect our annual depreciation and amortization rate to be approximately $450 million.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended December 31, 2014 we recorded an income tax expense of $12 million and paid $9 million in cash for income taxes.  Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 were 34% and 30% respectively. 

We expect our long term adjusted effective tax rate to be approximately 30%.  We expect our 2015 adjusted effective tax rate to be slightly higher as a result of reduced earnings from our Pigments and Additives division which has a meaningful concentration of business in countries (primarily in Europe) where we have tax valuation allowances which prevent us from recording a tax benefit on pre-tax losses.

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 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:  (a) acquisition and integration expenses, purchase accounting adjustments; (b) loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; (c) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (d) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; (g) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (h) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and (i) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits).  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: (a) acquisition and integration expenses, purchase accounting adjustments; (b) impact of certain foreign tax credit elections; (c) loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; (d) loss (income) from discontinued operations; (e) discount amortization on settlement financing associated with the terminated merger; (f) loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets; (g) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (h) extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; (i) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (j) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses (gains); and (k) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits).   We do not adjust for changes in tax valuation allowances because we do not believe it provides more meaningful information than is provided under GAAP.  The reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders is set forth in Table 4 above.
