PR Newswire (US) Complementary upstream and downstream capabilities to enhance integration and enable the combined company to better create value across cycles, products and regions $400+ million of identified and actionable cost synergies and integration benefits Enhanced financial profile and cost position expected to provide greater performance through the cycle, cash flow generation and growth optionality Ken Lane to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Peter Huntsman to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined company Joint investor call and webcast scheduled for June 16, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern TimeCLAYTON, Missouri and THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) and Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger of equals to create a leading North American chemicals company. The transaction is expected to generate significant value for shareholders of both companies, with more than $400 million in total identified cost synergies and integration benefits. The combined organization, which will be renamed OlinHuntsman Corporation ("OlinHuntsman") following the close of the transaction, will benefit from enhanced scale, scope and expanded chlorine optionality, enabling it to create value across markets and cycles. The vertical integration of Olin and Huntsman's highly complementary upstream and downstream businesses brings together cost-advantaged North American assets and feedstocks with differentiated formulations and high-value advanced materials. From its global manufacturing platform, OlinHuntsman will deliver to diverse and growing end markets including automotive, construction and infrastructure, and industrial applications. OlinHuntsman will have a structurally lower cost position and an expanded ability to convert advantaged Electrochemical Units production into downstream materials, unlocking more opportunities to grow."This combination provides a compelling opportunity for Olin and Huntsman to create a more resilient and value-focused chemicals company anchored in North America," said Ken Lane, President and Chief Executive Officer of Olin. "Huntsman has built an impressive portfolio of polyurethane systems, formulation technologies and advanced materials serving technical, application-driven end markets. By integrating those capabilities with Olin's world-scale chemicals assets and operations and identified synergies and benefits, we will create an industry leader with greater flexibility to serve customers across the value chain, generate stronger cash flow across the cycle and pursue opportunities that neither business could fully capture on its own. I'm excited by the opportunity to lead OlinHuntsman and deliver long-term value for our shareholders, customers, employees and communities.""As our industry continues to globalize, we compete more today against countries, than companies, trade policies and global supply chains than ever before," said Peter Huntsman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Huntsman. "The opportunities this merger creates enable us to generate greater value for our shareholders, deliver exceptional service and products for our customers and provide greater stability and opportunities for our associates. This merger of equals takes two great companies and creates a much stronger global leader."Strategic and Financial RationaleCreates a $12B+ North American Chemicals Leader. Together Olin and Huntsman would have 2025 revenue of approximately $12.5 billion on a combined company basis. Complementary portfolios and enhanced geographic footprint, including a significant presence in the U.S. Gulf Coast, will position OlinHuntsman to capitalize on regional sector dynamics. This, along with its presence in Europe and Asia, will enable it to better serve customers across key markets. Olin's ammunition business, Winchester, will continue to operate as a key business within the combined company, growing its industry-leading brand and deepening its long-term relationships with sporting, law enforcement and military customers.Vertical Integration Improves Cost Position. The transaction will combine Olin's manufacturing and feedstock capabilities, including chlorine and caustic soda, with Huntsman's downstream products and formulation expertise. This platform will enable OlinHuntsman to grow with customers at multiple points in the value chain, utilize lower-cost producer economics to drive value globally and improve margins and cash flow through a more efficient operating model.$400M+ Cost Synergies and Integration Benefits. Olin and Huntsman have identified more than $300 million of cost synergies and integration benefits, with the vast majority realized within 24 months and all expected by the end of year three. These synergies will be driven by purchasing and raw material integration, optimization of operations and SG&A savings. The companies have also identified an additional $100 million of raw material integration benefits starting in 2031. In addition to the $400M+ synergies, OlinHuntsman expects to realize approximately $125 million of cash tax benefits through the acceleration of Net Operating Losses.Enhanced Scale and Disciplined Capital Allocation Drive Shareholder Value. The all-stock merger of equals structure will preserve balance sheet strength, and the combination is expected to improve earnings and cash flow generation through the cycle. OlinHuntsman will prioritize disciplined capital allocation focused on deploying maintenance capital to support safe and reliable operations, a stable dividend policy, near-term deleveraging and the deployment of future excess cash toward shareholder returns and high-return organic and inorganic growth projects.Leadership, Governance and HeadquartersThe combined company will benefit from a highly experienced management team and Board of Directors, drawing from both organizations. Upon closing of the transaction, current Olin President and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Lane, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of OlinHuntsman. Current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Huntsman, Peter Huntsman, will serve as non-executive Chairman of OlinHuntsman's Board of Directors. Current Huntsman Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Phil Lister, will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the combined company.OlinHuntsman's Board of Directors will consist of ten members, with equal representation from Olin and Huntsman, including Peter Huntsman and Ken Lane.To underscore the commitment to deliver on the identified synergies, Todd Slater, current Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Olin, will serve as Chief Integration Officer of OlinHuntsman, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. A Strategic Integration Committee of OlinHuntsman's Board of Directors will oversee the integration and synergy realization.Upon closing of the transaction, OlinHuntsman will be headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas.Transaction DetailsUnder the terms of the agreement, Huntsman shareholders will receive 0.5476 shares in Olin for every one (1) share of Huntsman. Upon completion of the transaction, Olin shareholders will own approximately 54.5% and Huntsman shareholders will own approximately 45.5% of the combined company.Peter Huntsman further stated, "Ken and I agreed to use an at-the-market exchange ratio using volume-weighted average prices over the trailing 30 days, measured as of the close of June 12, 2026. This delivers a premium to Huntsman's shareholders relative to the historical averages while reflecting current market conditions. It is also equitable for Olin's shareholders, smoothing out share price movements from last week's trading. Looking ahead, our shared focus is on capturing the significant long-term value this transaction creates for both sets of shareholders."The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of Olin's shareholders and Huntsman's shareholders.AdvisorsLazard is serving as financial advisor to Olin, and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and Sidley Austin LLP are serving as legal counsel.Citi and Morgan Stanley & Co.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today reported first quarter 2026 results with revenues of $1,420 million, net loss attributable to Huntsman of $53 million, adjusted net loss attributable to Huntsman of $35 million and adjusted EBITDA of $73 million. Peter R. Huntsman, Chairman, President, and CEO, commented:"The first two months of the first quarter progressed as expected with some early trends of year-on-year volume improvement. In March, the onset of the war in the Middle East introduced significant volatility with a sharp rise in feedstock costs, particularly benzene and European natural gas. We immediately increased prices across all products and regions to ensure margins were protected. Despite the conflict, we did see year on year volume growth of 4% in Polyurethanes including some improvement in Europe, and our Advanced Materials revenues grew over 10% as sales into Aerospace increased. While conditions remain highly unpredictable, we are concentrating on margin improvement, cost reduction and cash flow generation. Looking ahead to the second quarter of 2026, we anticipate a step up in profitability, with an increase in volumes combined with margin expansion resulting from our worldwide pricing initiatives."Segment Analysis for 1Q26 Compared to 1Q25PolyurethanesThe increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily in the Americas and Europe regions. MDI average selling prices decreased primarily due to less favorable supply and demand dynamics, partially offset by the positive impact of major foreign currency exchange rate movements against the U.S. dollar. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins, partially offset by higher sales volumes, higher equity earnings from our minority-owned joint venture in China and cost savings achieved from our cost optimization program.Performance Products The decrease in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower average selling  prices. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the closure of our Moers, Germany maleic anhydride facility announced in May 2025 and lower demand. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to competitive pressures. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower sales volumes and margins, partially due to shipment disruptions throughout March 2026 at our consolidated joint venture in Saudi Arabia.Advanced Materials The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended March 31, 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 sales volumes.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesDuring the three months ended March 31, 2026, our free cash flow used was $91 million as compared to a use of $107 million in the same period of 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $0.9 billion of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity.During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we spent $38 million on capital expenditures as compared to $36 million in the same period of 2025.

See end of press release for footnote explanations. 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)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.

(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.

(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.

(5)Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.About Huntsman:

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 4Q24PolyurethanesThe 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 ResourcesDuring 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 TaxesIn the fourth quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was -1% and our adjusted effective tax rate was -14%.Earnings Conference Call InformationWe will hold a conference call to discuss our fourth quarter 2025 financial results on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET.Webcast link: https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=IMeg0PNWParticipant dial-in numbers:

 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)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.

(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.

(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.About Huntsman:

Original: Huntsman Announces Fourth Quarter 2025 Earnings

Not that I'm aware of.

Thanks Chuck,

Are there other investor boards where more discussion of HUN is happening.

I do believe that once carbon nanotubes are readily available the use of the technology will grow dramatically. I know HUN is into other products, but I believe that CNT will dominate once people realize how many ways it can be used.

Gary

You are correct. It's not new news though

A stock advisory newsletter was disussing a Texas based company working in Carbon Nanotubes, I didn't pay for the name, but it sounded like it could be HUN.

Anyone here still following it. I do believe CNT's are the future if volume can be produced, and cost brought down, that was what the author was suggesting. CNT's could greatly reduce energy demands for thing like AI. If HUN has that technology, this company could grow dramatically in the future.

Anyone still invested in it here.

Huntsman Corp $HUN fundamental analysis highlights stock's 8% undervalued b4 earnings Wednesday:

Intrinsic Value Source

I sure did guess a good entry point wrong on this one, will buy some more just not sure at what level. Div yield is now 6.2%

Added 1000 at $9.20 Happy to collect 5.5% divs while I wait.

WHY CANT THIS GO UP FOR ONCE.

Picked up 1000 this morning at $10.19

Sold $10.39 quick $775 maybe buy in again next week.

Added here today...will add more on weakness. Been waiting to add on this one for awhile.

Added 500 more $9.70 will keep adding if it keeps dropping.

HUN on sale today on earnings warning, started a position with 1000 shares at $9.95

3 years of gains gone in less then 2 months!!!!!! and management does not seem interested!!!!!

Not much support in this company, management is inept (IMO)and the stock price has been tanking! Wondering if we see a low of $10.00/share within the next few months.

Curious to see who sold out about 10 min after opening? Insiders? This company is run by banchies!

2 years of gains in less then a month! The market is rigged!

Nothing new to add, agree with you that it has potential.

I have been a shareholder for 5 years now. A good solid company with good management. I find it frustrating that a years worth of gains are gone in 3 days. All I can offer is too follow what the big funds are doing.

Probably big hedge funds dumping to drive down the price so that they can pick up cheap shares in the new year. The stock market is so corrupt! One day analysts are pumping a stock up and the next day they are downgrading!

Any info on this HUN?





IMO, I think it is a solid company and did some services for them recently:)


Eagle1

HUN = Huntsman International! Wow, what a dip.


Any thoughts from anyone on this?


Please advise...

Thank You!


Eagle1

TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huntsman reports higher eps then forecasted and the stock sinks! Who's in control of the market? Hedge funds? Who it is, is rigging the market!

Huntsman reports good # and premarket we are down!

Rigged is an understatement...lol

Too much artificial support by the feds imo.

Back to 20.00 very soon. 2 years to get to $29 and three weeks to fall to $20. The stock market is rigged!

My prediction came through, just 8 months late...lol

lol, at least we're moving in the right direction.

Not quite but a good guess, if you said by the end of the year?

Hard to believe that one months of gains are gone in two days. This stock market is so corrupt!

That would be nice.

Look for them to increase the dividend next quarter.

Gl

Same here

hope so...

steady horse, worth the dividend.

gl

$20 really soon, then $25 by end of summer imo.

Agreed, still heading North IMO.

great dividend buy and solid 3 months!


gl

Dow is down, and HUN is up.....go figure!


gl

Dow's up and Hun's down. This stock is disconnected from the overall market.
