THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported fourth quarter 2025 results with revenues of $1,355 million, net loss attributable to Huntsman of $96 million, adjusted net loss attributable to Huntsman of $63 million and adjusted EBITDA of $35 million. 

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

"During 2025, there was an exceptional amount of work accomplished by the Company in restructuring our business and generating cash despite the depressed level of earnings. We generated close to $300 million of cash flow from operations in 2025 and our 45% full year free cash flow conversion reflects timely, definitive decisions as we recognized the challenging market landscape early in the year. We remain confident that the economic cycle for chemicals will eventually improve in our core markets, though we recognize that meaningful changes may not occur in the immediate term. We are committed to maintaining a disciplined approach, prioritizing cash management, the balance sheet and controlling our fixed costs to ensure the Company is well-positioned when our markets improve."

Segment Analysis for 4Q25 Compared to 4Q24

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to less favorable supply and demand dynamics. Sales volumes increased in the Americas and Asia regions. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower MDI margins.

Performance Products

The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower average selling prices. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressures. Sales volumes were relatively stable. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower revenues and an unfavorable impact from reduced inventory, partially offset by lower fixed costs.

Advanced Materials

The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased in our infrastructure coatings and general industry segments due to soft demand. Average selling prices increased primarily due to the positive impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar. Segment adjusted EBITDA was slightly lower primarily due to decreased sales volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, our free cash flow from continuing operations was $20 million as compared to $108 million in the same period of 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.3 billion of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we spent $57 million on capital expenditures from continuing operations as compared to $51 million in the same period of 2024. During 2026, we expect similar capital expenditure levels as to the 2025 year.

Income Taxes

In the fourth quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was -1% and our adjusted effective tax rate was -14%.

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.

We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Management internally uses free cash flow measure to: (a) 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 (used in) 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.

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.

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.
