Sale of India-Based Do-It-Yourself Consumer Adhesives Business
OnNovember 3, 2020 , we completed the sale of theIndia -based DIY business to Pidilite Industries Ltd. and received cash of approximately$257 million . Under the terms of the agreement, we may receive up to approximately$28 million of additional cash under an earnout provision if the business achieves within 18 months certain sales revenue targets in line with the DIY business' 2019 performance. The performance criteria of the earnout provision were satisfied in the second quarter of 2021, and we received the full payment of$28 million . As a result, we recognized an additional pretax gain of$28 million in the second quarter, which was recorded in gain on sale ofIndia -based DIY business in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. 38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Non-GAAP Financial Measures Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. These non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of certain income and expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating results. Adjusted EBITDA Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income ofHuntsman Corporation orHuntsman 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) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (f) (gain) loss on sale of businesses/assets; (g) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation (credits) costs; (i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j) plant incident remediation costs; and (k) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition (credits) costs. We believe that net income ofHuntsman Corporation orHuntsman International , as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance withU.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA. We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in assessing the businesses' ongoing financial performance and 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. However, this measure should not be considered in isolation or viewed as a substitute for net income ofHuntsman Corporation orHuntsman International , as appropriate, or other measures of performance determined in accordance withU.S. GAAP. Moreover, adjusted EBITDA as used herein is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. Our management believes this measure is useful to compare general operating performance from period to period and to make certain related management decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of different companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be highly dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Therefore, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. In addition, the tax positions of companies can vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the various jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and tax expense can vary considerably among companies. Finally, companies employ productive assets of different ages and utilize different methods of acquiring and depreciating such assets. This can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies. Nevertheless, our management recognizes that there are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company as compared to net income ofHuntsman Corporation orHuntsman International , as appropriate, which reflects overall financial performance. For example, we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Our management compensates for the limitations of using adjusted EBITDA by using this measure to supplementU.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business rather thanU.S. GAAP results alone. 44
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents Adjusted Net Income Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net (loss) income attributable toHuntsman Corporation : (a) business acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting inventory adjustments; (b) income from discontinued operations; (c) fair value adjustments to Venator investment; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal and other settlements and related expenses; (f) (gain) loss on sale of businesses/assets; (g) income from transition services arrangements related to the sale of our Chemical Intermediates Businesses to Indorama; (h) certain nonrecurring information technology project implementation costs; (i) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; (j) plant incident remediation (credits) costs; and (k) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. Basic adjusted net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted diluted net income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding as dilutive securities. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information. We believe adjusted net income is useful to investors in assessing the businesses' ongoing financial performance and 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. Free Cash Flow We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Management internally uses a free cash flow measure: (a) to evaluate our liquidity, (b) evaluate strategic investments, (c) plan stock buyback and dividend levels and (d) evaluate our ability to incur and service debt. Starting with the quarter endedMarch 31, 2020 , we updated our definition of free cash flow to a presentation more consistent with today's market standard of net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is not a defined term underU.S. GAAP, and it should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
We believe that the effective tax rate ofHuntsman Corporation orHuntsman International , as appropriate, is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance withU.S. GAAP that is most directly comparable to adjusted effective tax rate. We believe our 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. We do not provide reconciliations for adjusted effective tax rate on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as business acquisition and integration expenses, merger costs, certain legal and other settlements and related costs, gains on sale of businesses/assets and amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, is out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. 45

Table of Contents Polyurethanes The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was largely due to higher MDI average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased mostly inChina andEurope . Sales volumes increased primarily due to stronger demand in relation to the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown, partially offset by the scheduled turnaround at ourRotterdam, Netherlands facility. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins resulting from higher MDI pricing and higher sales volumes as well as stronger earnings from our PO/MTBE joint venture inChina , partially offset by higher raw material costs. Performance Products The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily due to stronger demand in relation to the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown as well as in response to an increase in raw material costs. Sales volumes also increased primarily due to stronger demand. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to increased revenue and margins, partially offset by increased fixed costs. Advanced Materials The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, higher average selling prices and the favorable net impact of the CVC Thermoset Specialties Acquisition, the Gabriel Acquisition and the sale of theIndia -based DIY business. See "Note 3. Business Combinations and Acquisitions" and "Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions" to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Excluding our recent acquisitions and divestiture and with the exception of our global aerospace business, sales volumes increased across all of our specialty markets, primarily in relation to the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown. Average selling prices increased largely due to the impact of a weakerU.S. dollar against major international currencies and in response to higher raw material costs. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and the benefit from our recent acquisitions. Textile Effects The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to increased demand resulting from the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown, particularly inAsia . The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales revenues. Corporate and other Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign currency exchange gains and losses, LIFO inventory valuation reserve adjustments, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unallocated restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs, nonoperating income and expense and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets.

Table of Contents Polyurethanes The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was largely due to higher MDI average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices increased mostly inChina andEurope . Sales volumes increased primarily due to stronger demand in relation to the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown, partially offset by the scheduled turnaround at ourRotterdam, Netherlands facility. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins resulting from higher MDI pricing and higher sales volumes as well as stronger earnings from our PO/MTBE joint venture inChina , partially offset by higher raw material costs Performance Products The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes.

See "Note 3. Business Combinations and Acquisitions" and "Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions" to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Excluding our recent acquisitions and divestiture and with the exception of our global aerospace business, sales volumes increased across all markets, primarily in relation to the ongoing recovery from the global economic slowdown.

We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue. ? During 2021, we expect to spend approximately$355 million to
capital expenditures with cash provided by operations.
? During the six months ended
pension and postretirement benefit plans of
expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately
these plans. Long-Term Liquidity
? On

? During 2020, management implemented cost realignment and synergy plans. In
connection with these plans, we expect to achieve annualized cost savings
and synergy benefits of more than
associated net cash restructuring and integration costs of approximately
$100 million . See "Note 7. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Cost" to our condensed consolidated financial statements. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had$44 million classified as current portion of debt, including debt at our variable interest entities of$41 million and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling$3 million . We intend to renew, repay or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the next twelve months. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had approximately$338 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends, which dividends would generally not be subject toU.S. taxation as a result of theU.S. Tax Reform Act. However, such repatriation may potentially be subject to certain foreign withholding taxes. 54
