THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported second quarter 2026 results with revenues of $1,663 million, net loss attributable to Huntsman of $6 million, adjusted net income attributable to Huntsman of nil and adjusted EBITDA of $120 million. 

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

"We delivered a solid quarter, supported by higher volumes across all three segments and pricing actions that offset a significant increase in raw material costs. Improved industrial demand helped counter continued softness in construction. Rising and volatile energy and crude oil related costs, particularly in Europe, remain a headwind, and we will stay focused on additional price increases and cost-reduction initiatives to help offset these pressures.

Our planned merger of equals with Olin Corporation continues to progress at pace. The strong collaboration between our teams reinforces my confidence in our ability to deliver the synergy targets we have outlined. We also expect the combined company to benefit from vertical integration, greater scale, and a stronger financial profile, creating meaningful value for shareholders of both companies. The stockholder vote is scheduled for August 25, 2026, and we are excited about the future of OlinHuntsman."

Segment Analysis for 2Q26 Compared to 2Q25

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased across all three regions due to improved supply and demand dynamics. MDI sales volumes increased in the Americas and Europe regions. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher average selling prices, higher sales volumes, higher equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China and cost savings achieved from our cost optimization program, partially offset by higher raw materials costs.

Performance Products 

The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to higher sales volumes and slightly higher average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to favorable demand in our performance amines business. Average selling prices increased primarily due to higher raw materials costs. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and lower fixed costs achieved from our cost optimization program.

Advanced Materials 

The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily due to favorable sales mix and the positive impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes increased primarily in our aerospace, power and automotive markets. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins and higher sales volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, our free cash flow used was $90 million as compared to a source of cash of $55 million in the same period of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $0.9 billion of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity.
