Peter R. Huntsman, Chairman, President, and CEO, commented: "The second quarter played out largely as expected as lower global construction and industrial activity pressured our volumes. The seasonal uplift in construction demand we typically experience in the second quarter was muted in 2025 and we do not believe that these trends will change in a meaningful way in the third quarter. With our current returns, we have taken decisive actions to reduce costs and restructure, including the closure of our European Maleic Anhydride facility in Moers, Germany as well as other downstream facilities in both Europe and North America. The restructuring that we started at the end of 2024 has expanded in 2025 and will ultimately reduce our global workforce by nearly 10%, with our European region experiencing the largest reduction. Through our cash management activities, we generated positive cash flow during the second quarter. As we have stated in the past, protecting the balance sheet remains a priority in addition to focusing on cash generation as we navigate the Company through the current environment." Segment Analysis for 2Q25 Compared to 2Q24 Polyurethanes The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to less favorable supply and demand dynamics. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand in construction-related markets and the scheduled turnaround at our Rotterdam, the Netherlands manufacturing facility during the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the impacts of lower average selling prices, lower sales volumes, inventory reductions and lower equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China, partially offset by lower raw materials costs and lower fixed costs. Performance Products The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower sales volumes. Average selling prices remained relatively flat as a decrease in selling prices was mostly offset by favorable sales mix. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower operating rates at our Moers, Germany facility and softer market conditions, partially offset by share gains. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales revenue and an unfavorable impact from inventory reductions, partially offset by lower variable direct costs and lower other fixed costs. Advanced Materials The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 was primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by the positive impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to reduced demand in our coatings and aerospace markets. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the three months ended June 30, 2025, our free cash flow from continuing operations was $55 million as compared to $5 million in the same period of 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $1.3 billion of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we spent $37 million on capital expenditures from continuing operations as compared to $50 million in the same period of 2024. During 2025, we expect to spend between approximately $180 million to $190 million on capital expenditures. Income Taxes In the second quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was -5% and our adjusted effective tax rate was not meaningful.

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. (2) Management internally uses 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. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by 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. (3) 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. Our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate is calculated based on our forecast effective tax rate, and the range of our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate equals the range of our forecast effective tax rate. We disclose forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate 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, certain legal and other settlements and related expenses, gains on sale of businesses/assets and certain tax only items, including the future year effects of tax law changes not yet enacted. Each of such adjustments has not yet occurred, is out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. In our view, our forward-looking adjusted effective tax rate represents the forecast effective tax rate on our underlying business operations but does not reflect any adjustments related to the items noted above that may occur and can cause our effective tax rate to differ. (4) 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.
