The Woodlands, TX - Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported fourth quarter 2012 results with revenues of $2,619 million and adjusted EBITDA of $233 million.
Peter R. Huntsman, our President and CEO, commented:
"Our 2012 adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 billion represents record earnings for our current configuration of businesses. I am very enthusiastic about the direction in which the company is headed. Within our largest division - Polyurethanes - our MDI business is growing at attractive rates, and future prospects are pointing towards tighter market conditions. In the fourth quarter, I was pleased to see that our smallest division - Textile Effects - recorded positive earnings as a result of our restructuring and cost cutting efforts. Our
Pigments division is going through a business cycle where we expect an improvement in earnings beginning in the second half of 2013.
We have put programs in place across our divisions that will enhance our future competitiveness and increase shareholder value. I expect the future annual benefits of these programs to be approximately $190 million when complete in the middle of 2014.
The company generated more than $200 million in cash from operations and repaid $50 million of term loans in the fourth quarter. We look forward to funding future growth opportunities with free cash flow generation and remain committed to reducing our overall debt."
Polyurethanes
The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against the euro. PO/MTBE average selling prices increased primarily due to favorable market conditions. MDI average selling prices increased in all regions partially offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against the euro. MDI sales volumes increased primarily due to strong demand globally for insulation and the housing & automotive recovery in North America, PO/MTBE volumes increased due to strong demand. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher volumes, higher contribution margins and lower fixed costs.
Performance Products
The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products division for the three months ended December 31,
2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower product availability of intermediates as we prepared for our first quarter 2013 maintenance and softer demand for European surfactants. Average selling prices declined due to lower raw material costs and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies, partially offset by an improvement in sales mix. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher contribution margins in our amines business as well as higher contribution margins in our maleic anhydride and North American intermediates businesses.
Advanced Materials
Revenues were essentially unchanged in our Advanced Materials division for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as higher sales volumes offset lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily due to stronger demand in the Americas, Asia Pacific and India
while sales volumes in Europe decreased due to planned manufacturing maintenance and lower demand in
the wind energy market. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive market pressure, lower raw material costs in most regions and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies.
- 2 -
The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower contribution margins partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative costs as a result of recent restructuring efforts.
On January 23, 2013 we announced a comprehensive restructuring program in our Advanced Materials division designed to improve efficiencies and increase its global competitiveness. We expect the program to be complete by the middle of 2014 with future annual benefits of approximately $70 million.
Textile Effects
The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects division for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased due to increased global market share and improved demand. The increase
in local currency average selling prices was offset by the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales volumes and lower
manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs as a result of our restructuring efforts.
Pigments
The decrease in revenues in our Pigments division for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower global demand and customer destocking. Average selling prices decreased due to lower global demand and the strength of the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower contribution margins.
Corporate, LIFO and Other
Adjusted EBITDA from Corporate, LIFO and Other decreased by $15 million to a loss of $49 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to a loss of $34 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of a $6 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense (income of nil in 2012 compared to $6 million of income in 2011) and increased corporate expenses.
As of December 31, 2012 we had $887 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity compared to
$1,043 million at December 31, 2011.
For the three months ended December 31, 2012 our primary net working capital decreased by $130 million and we generated $218 million in cash from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2012 our primary net working capital increased by $102 million and we generated $774 million in cash from operations.
On October 31, 2012 we repaid $50 million of our senior secured term loans due 2014.
On December 3, 2012 we used the proceeds of our recent 4.875% senior notes offering due 2020 to redeem
$400 million of 5.5% senior notes due 2016. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of approximately $77 million. The 5.5% senior notes were
favorably issued to us at less than market interest rates; accounting standards required us to record the notes
on our balance sheet at less than face value and amortize the difference over time up to the full face value of
$400 million. As a result, when we refinanced the notes we recognized an increase of recorded debt on our balance sheet of $73 million.
Total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $412 million. We expect to spend approximately $450 million on capital expenditures in 2013 which approximates our annual depreciation and amortization.
- 3 -
During the three months ended December 31, 2012 we recorded an income tax benefit of $17 million and paid
$71 million in cash for income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the three months ended
December 31, 2012 was approximately 26%.
During the year ended December 31, 2012 we recorded income tax expense of $169 million and paid $224 million in cash for income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately 30%.
We expect our full year 2013 adjusted effective tax rate to be approximately 35% primarily due to the effect of tax valuation allowances and expected regional mix of income. We expect our long term effective income tax rate to be approximately 30 - 35%.
We will hold a conference call to discuss our fourth quarter and full year 2012 financial results on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. ET.

(1) 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: EBITDA from discontinued operations; restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits); acquisition expenses; certain legal settlements and related expenses; loss on early extinguishment of debt; loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; and loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets. 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: loss (income) from discontinued operations; restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs (credits); discount amortization on settlement financing associated with the terminated merger; acquisition expenses; certain legal settlements and related expenses; loss on early extinguishment of debt; loss (gain) on initial consolidation of subsidiaries; extraordinary loss (gain) on the acquisition of a business; and loss (gain) on disposition of businesses/assets. 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.
(2) During the first quarter 2010 we closed our Australian styrenics operations, results from this business are treated as discontinued operations.
