NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

        For convenience in this report, the terms "Company," "our," "us" or "we" may be used to refer to Huntsman Corporation and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries and predecessors. In this report, "Huntsman International" refers to Huntsman International LLC (our 100% owned subsidiary) and, unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

        In this report, we may use, without definition, the common names of competitors or other industry participants. We may also use the common names or abbreviations for certain chemicals or products.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and Huntsman International's interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP") and in management's opinion reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for our Company and Huntsman International.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes and titanium dioxide.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces inorganic chemical products. In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shutdown substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations.

COMPANY

        Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small packaging company.

(UNAUDITED) (Continued)

1. GENERAL (Continued)

Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

        Currently, we operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our 100% owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International's financial statements relate primarily to the following:

    purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the 2003 step-acquisition of Huntsman International Holdings LLC, the former parent company of Huntsman International that was merged into Huntsman International in 2005;

    the different capital structures; and

    a note payable from Huntsman International to us.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

        Our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide Acquisition

        On September 17, 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Rockwood Holdings, Inc. ("Rockwood"), which was amended on March 20, 2014. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, we will acquire Rockwood's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses for approximately $1.05 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and the assumption of certain unfunded pension liabilities estimated at $225 million as of June 30, 2013. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, and we continue to work with the European Commission in their review of the proposed acquisition of Rockwood's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide business. We have proposed certain remedies we believe address the Commission's concerns and are confident that final approval

will be secured by the end of the third quarter of 2014. To accommodate possible delays that may arise from the European Commission review, we have entered into an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement to extend its term to the end of October. This extension is conditioned on also extending the financing arrangements, which we are in the process of doing.

Restructuring of the European Surfactants Business

        In connection with the restructuring of our European surfactants business, on June 25, 2014 we completed the sale of our European commodity surfactants business, including the ethoxylation facility in Lavera, France, to Wilmar Europe Holdings B.V. ("Wilmar"). In connection with this sale, we recognized a gain of $2 million in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, Wilmar has entered into a multi-year arrangement to purchase certain sulphated surfactants products from our facilities in St. Mihiel, France and Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy. Additionally, we intend to cease production at our Patrica, Italy surfactants facility by October 2014.

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2014

        In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, requiring entities to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that exist at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year of adoption. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2014, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, resolving diversity in practice and clarifying the applicable guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or business within a foreign entity. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2014, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

Carryforward Exists, providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements as either a reduction to a deferred tax asset or as a liability to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this ASU do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2014, and the initial adoption of the amendments in this ASU did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption in Future Periods

        In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, changing the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhancing reporting requirements for discontinued operations. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity will be required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. Further, the amendments in this ASU will require an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption of the amendments in this ASU to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively, and early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this ASU on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

relates to an earn-out agreement which will be paid over two years if certain conditions are met. Related to this earn-out agreement, $6 million was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2014. The acquired business has been integrated into our Polyurethanes segment. Transaction costs charged to expense related to this acquisition were not significant.

        We have accounted for the Oxid Acquisition using the acquisition method. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Cash paid for acquisition

        For both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 11% of inventories were recorded using the LIFO cost method.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

        We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following four joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

    Rubicon LLC manufactures products for our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments. The structure of the joint venture is such that the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the joint venture to finance its activities without additional financial support. By virtue of the operating agreement with this joint venture, we purchase a majority of the output, absorb a majority of the operating costs and provide a majority of the additional funding.

    Pacific Iron Products Sdn Bhd manufactures products for our Pigments segment. In this joint venture we supply all the raw materials through a fixed cost supply contract, operate the manufacturing facility and market the products of the joint venture to customers. Through a fixed price raw materials supply contract with the joint venture we are exposed to the risk related to the fluctuation of raw material pricing.

    Arabian Amines Company manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. As required in the operating agreement governing this joint venture, we purchase all of Arabian Amines Company's production and sell it to our customers. Substantially all of the joint venture's activities are conducted on our behalf.

    Sasol-Huntsman is our 50%-owned joint venture with Sasol that owns and operates a maleic anhydride facility in Moers, Germany. This joint venture manufactures products for our Performance Products segment. The joint venture uses our technology and expertise, and we bear a disproportionate amount of risk of loss due to a related-party loan to Sasol-Huntsman for which we bear the default risk.

2014 RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        During 2013, our Performance Products segment initiated a restructuring program to refocus our surfactants business in Europe. In connection with this program, on June 25, 2014 we completed the sale of our European commodity surfactants business, including the ethoxylation facility in Lavera, France to Wilmar. In addition, Wilmar has entered into a multi-year arrangement to purchase certain sulphated surfactant products from our facilities in St. Mihiel, France and Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy. Additionally, we intend to cease production at our Patrica, Italy surfactants facility by October 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded charges of $23 million primarily related to workforce reductions, reversed reserves of $1 million that were no longer required and recorded a charge of $1 million for the impairment of long-lived assets relating to the sale of our Lavera, France manufacturing facility to Wilmar.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our Advanced Materials segment recorded charges of $9 million primarily related to workforce reductions with our global transformational change program designed to improve the segment's manufacturing efficiencies, enhance its commercial excellence and improve its long-term global competitiveness. Our Advanced Materials segment also reversed reserves of $4 million related to this initiative that were no longer required.

        On September 27, 2011, we announced plans to implement a significant restructuring of our Textile Effects segment, including the closure of our production facilities and business support offices in Basel, Switzerland, as part of an ongoing strategic program aimed at improving the Textile Effects segment's long-term global competitiveness. In connection with this plan, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, our Textile Effects segment recorded charges of $2 million for long-term contract termination costs, $4 million for decommissioning, $1 million for workforce reduction and $1 million in other restructuring costs associated with this initiative. Additionally, we reversed reserves of $2 million related to this initiative that were no longer required. In June 2014, we announced plans for the closure our Qingdao, China plant to be completed by December 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded charges of $5 million primarily related to workforce reductions related to this initiative. Additionally, we recorded charges of $1 million for long-term contract termination costs and $1 million for workforce reductions for other restructuring initiatives.

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

        Huntsman Corporation's direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of a guarantee of certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International). Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

        Certain of our subsidiaries are designated as nonguarantor subsidiaries and have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of June 30, 2014, our senior credit facilities ("Senior Credit Facilities") consisted of our revolving credit facility ("Revolving Facility"), our extended term loan B facility ("Extended Term

We have commitments with certain financial institutions to provide for a $200 million increase to our Revolving Facility ("Revolving Increase") to an aggregate Revolving Facility committed amount of $600 million upon completion of the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood.

(2)
We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $17 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(3)
The applicable interest rate of the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balances under the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 3%.

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and certain of our foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors"), and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendment to the Credit Agreement

        On October 15, 2013, Huntsman International entered into a tenth amendment to the agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement"). The amendment, among other things, permits us to incur a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (the "New Term Loan") and to increase our Revolving Facility.

        We have entered into commitments with certain financial institutions to provide for the New Term Loan and provide for $200 million of the Revolving Increase. We intend to use the net proceeds of the New Term Loan, when funded, to pay the cash consideration related to Huntsman International's acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood. If the acquisition is not consummated, we may use the net proceeds to refinance certain indebtedness of Huntsman International. These commitments will expire on September 17, 2014. We intend to make certain modifications to these financing arrangements that will effectively extend the expiration date to December 17, 2014.

The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of nonguarantor subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2021 Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holder's 2021 and 2020 Senior Notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        As of June 30, 2014, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $166 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. Arabian Amines Company is currently not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its loan commitments. We do not guarantee these loan commitments, and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations. Arabian Amines Company's noncompliance with its financial covenants does not affect any of our debt obligations. While the lenders under the loan commitments have agreed to certain modifications, we continue discussions with Arabian Amines Company's lenders and expect to resolve the noncompliance. As of June 30, 2014, the amounts outstanding under these loan commitments were classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of June 30, 2014, we have a loan of $807 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International (the "Intercompany Note"). The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of June 30, 2014 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of June 30, 2014, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. accounts receivable securitization program ("U.S. A/R Program"), less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

        We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our U.S. A/R Program and our European accounts receivable securitization program ("European A/R Program" and collectively with the U.S. A/R Program, "A/R Programs") and our notes. However, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with certain financial covenants contained under its loan commitments. See "—Variable Interest Entity Debt" above.

7. DEBT (Continued)

        Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

        Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to a single financial covenant (the "Leverage Covenant") which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is calculated at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

        If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

        The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

        We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

        All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other

comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

        We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $215 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedge was $1 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded as other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedge was $1 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income. Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of

June 30, 2014, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These derivative rate hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the hedges as of June 30, 2014 was €25 million (approximately $34 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedges was less than €1 million (less than approximately $1 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil and €1 million (approximately $1 million), respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the hedges.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities." The notional amount of the swap as of June 30, 2014 was $30 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the swap was $3 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded additional (reduction of) interest expense of nil each due to changes in fair value of the swap. As of June 30, 2014, Arabian Amines Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its loan commitments. For more information, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Variable Interest Entity Debt."

        In conjunction with the issuance of our 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we made payments of $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties, and on maturity (March 15, 2015) we are required to pay €255 million to these counterparties and will receive $350 million from these counterparties. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of this swap was $3 million and was recorded in current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        We finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

        Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

        We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of June 30, 2014, we have designated approximately €475 million (approximately $645 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $5 million and $6 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (unaudited). As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately €1,028 million (approximately $1,397 million) in net euro assets.

        The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level 1).

        The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2014 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 within the fair value hierarchy for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

        We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded charges of $6 million and $1 million, respectively, for the impairment of long-lived assets.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL MATTERS

Asbestos Litigation

        We have been named as a "premises defendant" in a number of asbestos exposure cases, typically claims by nonemployees of exposure to asbestos while at a facility. These complaints generally do not provide specific information about the amount of damages being sought, the time period in which the alleged injuries occurred or the alleged exposures giving rise to the asserted liability. This information, which would be central to any estimate of probable loss, generally must be obtained through legal discovery.

        Where a claimant's alleged exposure occurred prior to our ownership of the relevant "premises," the prior owners generally have contractually agreed to retain liability for, and to indemnify us against, asbestos exposure claims. This indemnification is not subject to any time or dollar amount limitations. Upon service of a complaint in one of these cases, we tender it to the prior owner. The prior owner accepts responsibility for the conduct of the defense of the cases and payment of any amounts due to the claimants. In our twenty-year experience with tendering these cases, we have not made any payment with respect to any tendered asbestos cases. We believe that the prior owners have the intention and ability to continue to honor their indemnity obligations, although we cannot assure you that they will continue to do so or that we will not be liable for these cases if they do not.

Although the indemnifying party informs us when tendered cases have been resolved, it generally does not inform us of the settlement amounts relating to such cases, if any. The indemnifying party has informed us that it typically manages our defense together with the defense of other entities in such cases and resolves claims involving multiple defendants simultaneously, and that it considers the allocation of settlement amounts, if any, among defendants to be confidential and proprietary. Consequently, we are not able to provide the number of cases resolved with payment by the indemnifying party or the amount of such payments.

        We have never made any payments with respect to these cases. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accrued liability of approximately $10 million relating to these cases and a corresponding receivable of approximately $10 million relating to our indemnity protection with respect to these cases. We cannot assure you that our liability will not exceed our accruals or that our liability associated with these cases would not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; accordingly, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of loss in excess of our accruals. Additional asbestos exposure claims may be made against us in the future, and such claims could be material. However, because we are not able to estimate the amount or range of losses associated with such claims, we have made no accruals with respect to unasserted asbestos exposure claims as of June 30, 2014.

        Certain cases in which we are a premises defendant are not subject to indemnification by prior owners or operators. However, we may be entitled to insurance or other recoveries in some of these cases. The following table presents for the periods indicated certain information about these cases.

        We paid gross settlement costs for asbestos exposure cases that are not subject to indemnification of $414,000 and nil for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accrual of $141,000 relating to these cases. We cannot assure you that our liability will not exceed our accruals or that our liability associated with these cases would not be material to our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; accordingly, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of loss in excess of our accruals. Additional asbestos exposure claims may be made against us in the future, and such claims could be material. However, because we are not able to estimate the amount or range of losses associated with such claims, we have made no accruals with respect to unasserted asbestos exposure claims as of June 30, 2014.

Antitrust Matters

        We have been named as a defendant in consolidated class action civil antitrust suits filed on February 9 and 12, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland alleging that we and our co-defendants and other asserted co-conspirators conspired to fix prices of titanium dioxide sold in the U.S. between at least March 1, 2002 and the present. The other defendants named in this matter are DuPont, Kronos and Cristal (formerly Millennium). On August 28, 2012, the court certified a class consisting of all U.S. customers who purchased titanium dioxide directly from the defendants (the "Direct Purchasers") since February 1, 2003. We and all other defendants settled the Direct Purchasers litigation and the court approved the settlement on December 13, 2013. We have paid the settlement in an amount immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        On November 22, 2013, we were named as a defendant in a civil antitrust suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota brought by a Direct Purchaser who opted out of the Direct Purchasers class litigation (the "Opt Out Litigation"). On April 21, 2014, the court severed the claims against us from the other defendants and ordered our case transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. It is possible that additional claims will be filed by other Direct Purchasers who opted out of the class litigation.

        We have also been named as a defendant in a class action civil antitrust suit filed on March 15, 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by the purchasers of products made from titanium dioxide (the "Indirect Purchasers") making essentially the same allegations as the Direct Purchasers. The Opt-Out Litigation and Indirect Purchasers plaintiffs seek to recover injunctive

relief, treble damages or the maximum damages allowed by state law, costs of suit and attorneys' fees. We are not aware of any illegal conduct by us or any of our employees. Nevertheless, we have incurred costs relating to these claims and could incur additional costs in amounts which in the aggregate could be material to us. Because of the overall complexity of these cases, we are unable to reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss associated with these claims and we have made no accruals with respect to these claims.

Product Delivery Claim

        We have been notified by a customer of potential claims related to our allegedly delivering a different product than it had ordered. Our customer claims that it was unaware that the different product had been delivered until after it had been used to manufacture materials which were subsequently sold. Originally, the customer stated that it had been notified of claims of up to an aggregate of €153 million (approximately $208 million) relating to this matter and believed that we may be responsible for all or a portion of these potential claims. Our customer has since resolved some of these claims and the aggregate amount of the current claims is now approximately €113 million (approximately $154 million). Based on the facts currently available to us, we believe that we are insured for any liability we may ultimately have in excess of $10 million. However, no assurance can be given regarding our ultimate liability or costs. We believe our range of possible loss in this matter is between €0 and €113 million, and we have made no accrual with respect to this matter.

Indemnification Matters

        On July 3, 2012, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, or the banks, demanded that we indemnify them for claims brought by certain MatlinPatterson entities that were formerly our stockholders ("MatlinPatterson") in litigation filed June 19, 2012 in the 9th District Court in Montgomery County, Texas (the "Texas Litigation"). The banks assert that they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Agreement of Compromise and Settlement between the banks and our Company, dated June 22, 2009, wherein the banks and our Company settled claims that we brought relating to the failed merger with Hexion. MatlinPatterson claims that the banks knowingly made materially false representations about the nature of the financing for the acquisition of our Company by Hexion and that they suffered substantial losses to their 19 million shares of our common stock as a result of the banks' misrepresentations. MatlinPatterson is asserting statutory fraud, common law fraud and aiding and abetting statutory fraud and are seeking actual damages, exemplary damages, costs and attorney's fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On December 21, 2012, the court dismissed the Texas Litigation, a decision which was affirmed by the Ninth Court of Appeals of Texas on May 15, 2014. A subsequent motion for rehearing by MatlinPatterson was denied by the same appellate court on June 12, 2014. A petition for discretionary review in the Texas Supreme Court was filed on July 28, 2014.

        On July 14, 2014, the banks demanded that we indemnify them for claims brought by certain former Company stockholders in litigation filed June 14, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (the "Wisconsin Litigation"). The stockholders have made essentially the same allegations as MatlinPatterson made in the Texas Litigation and, additionally, have named

Apollo Global Management LLC and Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. as defendants. The plaintiffs in the Wisconsin Litigation assert claims for misrepresentation and conspiracy to defraud. We denied the banks' indemnification demand for both the Texas and Wisconsin Litigation.

Other Proceedings

        We are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various environmental, products liability and other laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS

General

        We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and international laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to operational and process safety, pollution, protection of the environment, product management and distribution, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances, revocation. Actual or alleged violations of safety laws, environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations or product distribution, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, as well as, under some environmental laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or require us to modify our facilities or operations. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities.

Environmental, Health and Safety Systems

        We are committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety ("EHS") legal requirements, and we have developed policies and management systems that are intended to identify the multitude of EHS legal requirements applicable to our operations, enhance compliance with applicable legal requirements, improve the safety of our employees, contractors, community neighbors and customers and minimize the production and emission of wastes and other pollutants. Although EHS legal requirements are constantly changing and are frequently difficult to comply with, these EHS management systems are designed to assist us in our compliance goals while also fostering efficiency and improvement and reducing overall risk to us.

EHS Capital Expenditures

        We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. For the six months ended

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

June 30, 2014 and 2013, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $37 million and $35 million, respectively. Because capital expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, our capital expenditures for EHS matters have varied significantly from year to year and we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts we may spend related to EHS and other applicable laws.

Remediation Liabilities

        We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liability to investigate and clean up waste or contamination at our current or former facilities or facilities operated by third parties at which we may have disposed of waste or other materials. Similarly, we may incur costs for the cleanup of waste that was disposed of prior to the purchase of our businesses. Under some circumstances, the scope of our liability may extend to damages to natural resources.

        Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar state laws, a current or former owner or operator of real property in the U.S. may be liable for remediation costs regardless of whether the release or disposal of hazardous substances was in compliance with law at the time it occurred, and a current owner or operator may be liable regardless of whether it owned or operated the facility at the time of the release. Outside the U.S., analogous contaminated property laws, such as those in effect in France and Australia, can hold past owners and/or operators liable for remediation at former facilities. Currently, there are approximately 10 former facilities or third-party sites in the U.S. for which we have been notified of potential claims against us for cleanup liabilities, including, but not limited to, sites listed under CERCLA. Based on current information and past experiences at other CERCLA sites, we do not expect these third-party claims to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        One of these sites, the North Maybe Canyon Mine site, involves a former phosphorous mine near Soda Springs, Idaho, which is believed to have been operated by several companies, including a predecessor company to us. In 2004, the U.S. Forest Service notified us that we are a CERCLA potentially responsible party ("PRP") for contamination originating from the site. In February 2010, we and Wells Cargo (another PRP) agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study of a portion of the site and are currently engaged in that process. At this time, we are unable to reasonably estimate our potential liabilities at this site.

        In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") in the U.S. and similar state laws, we may be required to remediate contamination originating from our properties as a condition to our hazardous waste permit. Some of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on- site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater or surface contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, our Port Neches, Texas, and Geismar, Louisiana, facilities are the subject of ongoing remediation requirements imposed under RCRA. Similar laws exist in a number of locations in which we currently operate, or previously operated, manufacturing facilities, such as Australia, India, France, Hungary and Italy.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

        By letter dated March 7, 2006, our former Base Chemicals and Polymers facility in West Footscray, Australia was issued a cleanup notice by the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria ("EPA Victoria") due to concerns about soil and groundwater contamination emanating from the site. On August 23, 2010, EPA Victoria revoked a second cleanup notice and issued a revised notice that included a requirement for financial assurance for the remediation. We have reached agreement with the authority that a mortgage on the land will be held by the authority as financial surety during the period covered by the current cleanup notice, which ends on July 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accrued liability of approximately $24 million related to estimated environmental remediation costs at this site. We can provide no assurance that the authority will not seek to institute additional requirements for the site or that additional costs will not be required for the cleanup.

        In many cases, our potential liability arising from historical contamination is based on operations and other events occurring prior to our ownership of a business or specific facility. In these situations, we frequently obtained an indemnity agreement from the prior owner addressing remediation liabilities arising from pre-closing conditions. We have successfully exercised our rights under these contractual covenants for a number of sites and, where applicable, mitigated our ultimate remediation liability. We cannot assure you, however, that the liabilities for all such matters subject to indemnity will be honored by the prior owner or that our existing indemnities will be sufficient to cover our liabilities for such matters.

        Based on available information and the indemnification rights we believe are likely to be available, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material effect on our financial statements. However, if such indemnities are not honored or do not fully cover the costs of investigation and remediation or we are required to contribute to such costs, then such expenditures may have a material effect on our financial statements. At the current time, we are unable to estimate the total cost, exclusive of indemnification benefits, to remediate any of the known contamination sites.

Environmental Reserves

        We have accrued liabilities relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and closure costs and known penalties. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our liability estimates are calculated using present value techniques as appropriate and are based upon requirements placed upon us by regulators, available facts, existing technology and past experience. The environmental liabilities do not include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. We had accrued $28 million and $27 million for environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of these amounts, $3 million and $5 million were classified as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and $25 million and $22 million were classified as other noncurrent liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. In certain cases, our remediation liabilities may be payable over periods of up to 30 years. We may incur losses for environmental remediation in excess of the amounts accrued; however, we are not able to estimate the amount or range of such potential excess.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

        The European Union regulatory framework for chemicals, called "REACH," became effective in 2007 and is designed to be phased in gradually over 11 years. As a REACH-regulated company that manufactures in or imports more than one metric ton per year of a chemical substance into the European Economic Area, we were required to pre-register with the European Chemicals Agency such chemical substances and isolated intermediates to take advantage of the 11 year phase-in period. To meet our compliance obligations, a cross-business REACH team was established, through which we were able to fulfill all required pre-registrations, our first phase registrations by the November 30, 2010 deadline and our second phase registrations by the May 31, 2013 deadline. While we continue our registration efforts to meet the next registration deadline of May 31, 2018, our REACH implementation team is now strategically focused on the evaluation and authorization phases of the REACH process, directing its efforts to address "Substances of Very High Concern" and evaluating potential business implications. Where warranted, evaluation of substitute chemicals will be an important element of our ongoing manufacturing sustainability efforts. As a chemical manufacturer with global operations, we are also actively monitoring and addressing analogous regulatory regimes being considered or implemented outside of the European Union, such as in Korea and Taiwan.

        Although the total long-term cost for REACH compliance is unknown at this time, we spent approximately $4 million, $8 million and $5 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to meet the initial REACH requirements. We cannot provide assurance that these recent expenditures are indicative of future amounts that we may be required to spend for REACH compliance.

GREENHOUSE GAS REGULATION

        Globally, our operations are increasingly subject to regulations that seek to reduce emissions of "greenhouse gases" ("GHGs"), such as carbon dioxide and methane, which may be contributing to changes in the Earth's climate. At the Durban negotiations of the Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol in 2012, a limited group of nations, including the European Union, agreed to a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty that provides for reductions in GHG emissions. More significantly, the European Union GHG Emissions Trading System, established pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol to reduce GHG emissions in the European Union, continues in its third phase. The European Union parliament continues with a process to formalized "backloading"—the withholding of GHG allowances to prop up carbon prices. In addition, the European Union has recently announced its intentions to cut GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2040 and impose a 27% renewable energy requirement at the European Union level. In the U.S., California has commenced the first compliance period of its cap-and-trade program. In June 2013, China implemented its first pilot carbon emissions exchange in Shenzhen, China. Pilot carbon emissions schemes have also begun in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Tianjin. Further expansion of China's regional cap-and-trade is planned, and ultimately it is expected that these regional systems will form the backbone of a national cap-and-trade program. As these programs have not been fully implemented and have experienced significant price volatility on low early trading volumes, we are unable at this time to determine their impact on our operations.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS (Continued)

        Federal climate change legislation in the U.S. appears unlikely in the near-term. As a result, domestic efforts to curb GHG emissions will continue to be led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (the "EPA's") GHG regulations and the efforts of states. To the extent that our domestic operations are subject to the EPA's GHG regulations, we may face increased capital and operating costs associated with new or expanded facilities. Significant expansions of our existing facilities or construction of new facilities may be subject to the Clean Air Act's (the "CAA") Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements under the EPA's GHG "Tailoring Rule." Some of our facilities are also subject to the EPA's Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases rule, and any further regulation may increase our operational costs.

        Under a consent decree with states and environmental groups, the EPA is due to propose new source performance standards for GHG emissions from refineries. These standards could significantly increase the costs of constructing or adding capacity to refineries and may ultimately increase the costs or decrease the supply of refined products. Either of these events could have an adverse effect on our business.

        We are already managing and reporting GHG emissions, to varying degrees, as required by law for our sites in locations subject to Kyoto Protocol obligations and/or European Union emissions trading scheme requirements. Although these sites are subject to existing GHG legislation, few have experienced or anticipate significant cost increases as a result of these programs, although it is possible that GHG emission restrictions may increase over time. Potential consequences of such restrictions include capital requirements to modify assets to meet GHG emission restrictions and/or increases in energy costs above the level of general inflation, as well as direct compliance costs. Currently, however, it is not possible to estimate the likely financial impact of potential future regulation on any of our sites.

        Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any of those effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

PORT NECHES FLARING MATTER

        As part of the EPA's national enforcement initiative on flaring operations and by letter dated October 12, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") notified us that we were in violation of the CAA based on our response to a 2010 CAA Section 114 Information Request. The EPA has used the enforcement initiative to bring similar actions against refiners and other chemical manufacturers. Specifically, the EPA alleged violations at our Port Neches, Texas facility from 2007-2012 for flare operations not consistent with good pollution control practice and not in compliance with certain flare-related regulations. As a result of these findings, the EPA referred this matter to the DOJ. We provided a formal response to the DOJ and the EPA with a supplemental data submission on April 29, 2013. We have been engaged in discussions with the DOJ and the EPA regarding these alleged violations. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood or magnitude of potential penalty or injunctive relief that may be incurred in resolving this matter.

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

        Under the Huntsman Corporation Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), a plan approved by stockholders, we may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance awards and other stock-based awards to our employees, directors and consultants and to employees and consultants of our subsidiaries, provided that incentive stock options may be granted solely to employees. The terms of the grants are fixed at the grant date. As of June 30, 2014, we were authorized to grant up to 37.2 million shares under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2014, we had 9 million shares remaining under the Stock Incentive Plan available for grant. Option awards have a maximum contractual term of 10 years and generally must have an exercise price at least equal to the market price of our common stock on the date the option award is granted. Stock-based awards generally vest over a three-year period.

        The compensation cost from continuing operations under the Stock Incentive Plan for our Company and Huntsman International were as follows (dollars in millions):

Huntsman International compensation cost

    8     6     15     13  

        The total income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for us and Huntsman International for stock-based compensation arrangements was $3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

STOCK OPTIONS

        The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock through the grant date. The expected term of options granted was estimated based on the contractual term of the instruments and employees' expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time

That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years.

        The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $8 million and $10 million, respectively.

NONVESTED SHARES

        Nonvested shares granted under the Stock Incentive Plan consist of restricted stock, which is accounted for as an equity award, and phantom stock, which is accounted for as a liability award

As of June 30, 2014, a total of 388,299 restricted stock units were vested but not yet issued, of which 44,534 vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014. These shares have not been reflected as vested shares in this table because, in accordance with the restricted stock unit agreements, shares of common stock are not issued for vested restricted stock units until termination of employment.

        As of June 30, 2014, there was $33 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. The value of share awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $19 million and $17 million, respectively.

16. INCOME TAXES

        We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances are reviewed on an individual tax jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets. These conclusions require significant judgment. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider the cyclicality of businesses and cumulative income or losses during the applicable period. Cumulative losses incurred over the applicable period limits our ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for the future. Changes in expected future income in applicable jurisdictions could affect the realization of deferred tax assets in those jurisdictions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, on a discrete basis, we released a valuation allowance of $11 million and $2 million, respectively, on certain net deferred tax assets in Luxembourg as a result of significant changes in estimated future taxable income resulting from increased intercompany debt and, therefore, increased interest income in Luxembourg. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we

released a valuation allowance of $1 million on certain net deferred tax assets in Italy as a result of the restructuring of our European surfactants business which caused our tax expense to be $5 million lower than it would have been because we are also able to record a tax benefit for losses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our US tax position changed and allowed us to release the valuation allowance on $8 million of US foreign tax credits.

        During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, for unrecognized tax benefits that impact tax expense, we recorded a net increase in unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding income tax expense of $4 million and $2 million, respectively. Additional decreases in unrecognized tax benefits were offset by cash settlements or increase in net deferred tax assets and, therefore, did not affect income tax expense.

Huntsman Corporation

        We recorded income tax expense of $79 million and $24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. Notably, we continue to earn a significant portion of our pre-tax income in the United States with an approximate 35% federal and state blended effective tax rate.

Huntsman International

        Huntsman International recorded income tax expense of $80 million and $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. Notably, we continue to earn a significant portion of our pre-tax income in the United States with an approximate 35% federal and state blended effective tax rate.

17. NET INCOME PER SHARE

        Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and is computed by dividing net income available to Huntsman Corporation common stockholders 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.

        Additional stock-based awards of 1.1 million and 7.8 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and additional stock-based awards of 1.1 million and 7.4 million weighted average equivalent shares of stock were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. However, these stock-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

18. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

        We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flows from the manufacture and sale of a wide variety of differentiated chemical products. We have reported our operations through five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        With respect to Huntsman Corporation, certain information set forth in this report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Huntsman International is a limited liability company, and, pursuant to Section 21E(b)(2)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements is inapplicable to it. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "should," "anticipates," or "intends" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

        All forward-looking statements, including without limitation management's examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

OVERVIEW

Business

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes and titanium dioxide. We had revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of $5,743 million and $5,532 million, respectively.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces inorganic chemical products.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide Acquisition

        On September 17, 2013, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Rockwood, which was amended on March 20, 2014. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, we will acquire Rockwood's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses for approximately $1.05 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and the assumption of certain unfunded pension liabilities estimated at $225 million as of June 30, 2013. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, and we continue to work with the European Commission in their review of the proposed acquisition of Rockwood's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide business. We have proposed certain remedies we believe address the Commission's concerns and are confident that final approval will be secured by the end of the third quarter of 2014. To accommodate possible delays that may arise from the European Commission review, we have entered into an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement to extend its term to the end of October. This extension is conditioned on also extending the financing arrangements, which we are in the process of doing.

Restructuring of the European Surfactants Business

        In connection with the restructuring of our European surfactants business, on June 25, 2014 we completed the sale of our European commodity surfactants business, including the ethoxylation facility in Lavera, France, to Wilmar. In connection with this sale, we recognized a gain of $2 million in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, Wilmar has entered into a multi-year arrangement to purchase certain sulphated surfactants products from our facilities in St. Mihiel, France and Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy. Additionally, we intend to cease production at our Patrica, Italy surfactants facility by October 2014.

OUTLOOK

        We are seeing strong earnings growth across our business. Notably, demand for key products such as MDI and amines is growing and selling prices are improving for many of our products. The benefits of our restructuring efforts are most evident in the improved earnings of our Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments. We believe we are well positioned to experience accelerated growth across our business segments over the next two to three years.

Polyurethanes:

    MDI demand strong in U.S. and Asia, modest in Europe

    Improving sales price leverage

    High raw material costs, notably benzene

Performance Products:

    Benefits of European surfactants restructuring expected in 2015

    Improving amines sales volumes and margins

    U.S. Gulf Coast raw material cost advantage

Advanced Materials:

    Strong aerospace market

    Weak base liquid resin epoxy market

Table of Contents

    Third quarter 2014 seasonal slowdown in Europe

Textile Effects:

    Selective growth above underlying market demand

    Progressive environmental regulations impacting raw materials costs

Pigments:

    Favorable ilmenite raw material advantage versus traditional chloride ores

    Improving sales prices

    Strategic acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood

        We expect to spend approximately $500 million in 2014 on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements, for growth initiatives and maintenance, excluding any amounts associated with the planned acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood.

        We expect our full year 2014 adjusted effective tax rate to be in the low thirties, excluding the impact of the planned acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood. We expect our adjusted long term effective tax rate to be approximately 30%.

NM—Not Meaningful

(1)
Our management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess financial performance. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is computed by eliminating the following from EBITDA: (a) acquisition expenses and integration costs; (b) EBITDA from discontinued operations; (c) gain on disposition of businesses/assets; (d) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (e) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (f) amortization of pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (g) restructuring, impairment, plant closing and transition costs.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. There are material limitations associated with our use of these measures because they do not reflect overall financial performance, including the effects of interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management compensates for the limitations of these measures by using them as a supplement to GAAP results.

(2)
Adjusted net income is computed by eliminating the after-tax amounts related to the following from net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation or Huntsman International, as appropriate: (a) acquisition expenses and integration costs; (b) loss from discontinued operations; (c) discount amortization on settlement financing; (d) gain on disposition of businesses/assets; (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (f) certain legal settlements and related expenses; (g) amortization of

    pension and postretirement actuarial losses; and (h) restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. 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 do not adjust for changes in tax valuation allowances because we do not believe it provides more meaningful information than is provided under GAAP. Basic adjusted income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. 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.

Includes cost associated with the transition of our Textile Effects segment's production from Basel, Switzerland to a tolling facility. These transition costs were included in cost of sales on our condensed consolidated statement of operations (unaudited).

Adjusted net income and adjusted income per share amounts are presented solely as supplemental information.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

        For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation was $119 million on revenues of $2,988 million, compared with net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation of $47 million on revenues of $2,830 million for the same period of 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net income attributable to Huntsman International was $120 million on revenues of $2,988 million, compared with net income attributable to Huntsman International of $49 million on revenues of $2,830 million for the same period of 2013. The increase of $72 million in net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increase of $71 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International was the result of the following items:

    Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $158 million, or 6%, as compared with the 2013 period. The increase was due principally to higher average selling prices in all our segments, except for our Pigments segment, and higher sales volumes in our Polyurethanes and Pigments segments. See "—Segment Analysis" below.

    Our gross profit and the gross profit of Huntsman International for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $54 million and $50 million, or 12% and 11%, respectively, as compared with the 2013 period. The increase resulted from higher gross margins in all our segments, except for our Pigments segment. See "—Segment Analysis" below.

    Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $5 million, or 2%, as compared with the 2013 period, primarily related to a decrease in legal settlement costs and lower foreign currency losses, partially offset by higher acquisition and integration related costs.

    Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $13 million from $29 million in the 2013 period. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

    Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $1 million as compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to increased pre-tax income. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was 26%, which is lower than our effective tax rate of 45% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to various valuation allowance releases in 2014 as well as our Textile Effects segment's restructuring charges in 2013 which received little tax benefit. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. For further information concerning taxes, see "Note 16. Income Taxes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Polyurethanes

        The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher sales volumes. MDI sales volumes increased as a result of improved demand in all regions and across most major markets. PO/MTBE sales volumes decreased as a result of a manufacturing disruption at our Port Neches, Texas facility, which resulted in lower EBITDA of approximately $10 million. MDI average selling prices increased in the Americas and European regions, offset by lower component pricing in China. PO/MTBE average selling prices increased primarily due to favorable market conditions. The increase in segment EBITDA was due to higher MDI sales volumes and margins.

Performance Products

        The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs and strong market conditions for amines, maleic anhydride and specialty surfactants. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the impact of scheduled maintenance, partially offset by increased sales volumes in amines and maleic anhydride. The increase in segment EBITDA was

77


Table of Contents

primarily due to higher margins and lower restructuring charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Performance Products segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing (credits) costs of $(1) million and $2 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). In addition, we recorded a gain on the sale of our European commodity surfactants business of $2 million during the second quarter of 2014.

Advanced Materials

        The increase in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and favorable sales mix, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in all regions and across most markets primarily due to certain price increase initiatives and higher value sales markets. Sales volumes decreased in our base resins business primarily due to our restructuring efforts. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we closed two of our base resins production units as we focus on higher value markets, such as aerospace, transportation and industrial and coatings and construction. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins, lower manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs as a result of our restructuring efforts and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $1 million and $6 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Textile Effects

        The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins, lower manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs as a result of our restructuring efforts and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs of $7 million and $10 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Pigments

        The increase in revenues in our Pigments segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased primarily as a result of higher end-use demand, particularly in Europe. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of high industry inventory levels, partially offset by the strength of the euro against the U.S. dollar. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins and higher acquisition expenses and integration costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Pigments segment recorded acquisition expenses and integration costs of $6 million and nil, respectively. For more information concerning acquisition expenses and integration costs, see "Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide Acquisition" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Pigments segment recorded

restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of nil and $3 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Corporate and other

        Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign 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, benzene sales and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation increased by $11 million to a loss of $50 million from a loss of $61 million for the same period in 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International increased by $11 million to a loss of $51 million from a loss of $62 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from a decrease in legal settlements of $5 million (nil in 2014 compared to $5 million of expense in 2013), a $3 million decrease in loss from benzene sales ($1 million loss in 2014 compared to $4 million loss in 2013), a decrease in unallocated foreign exchange loss of $3 million (nil in 2014 compared to $3 million loss in 2013) and a $3 million decrease in restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs ($5 million of expense in 2014 compared to $8 million of expense in 2013). For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The increase in EBITDA was partially offset by a $4 million decrease in LIFO inventory valuation income (nil in 2014 compared to $4 million income in 2013).

Discontinued Operations

        The operating results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics businesses are classified as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, the revenues of these businesses are excluded from revenues for all periods presented. The EBITDA of these former businesses are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The loss from discontinued operations represents the operating results, legal costs, restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and gain (loss) on disposal with respect to our former businesses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

        For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation was $173 million on revenues of $5,743 million, compared with net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation of $23 million on revenues of $5,532 million for the same period of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income attributable to Huntsman International was $177 million on revenues of $5,743 million, compared with net income attributable to Huntsman International of $26 million on revenues of $5,532 million for the same period of 2013. The increase of $150 million in net income attributable to Huntsman Corporation and the increase of $151 million in net income attributable to Huntsman International was the result of the following items:

    Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $211 million, or 4%, as compared with the 2013 period. The increase was due principally to higher average selling prices in our Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments and higher sales volumes in our Polyurethanes, Performance Products and Pigments segments. See "—Segment Analysis" below.

    Our gross profit and the gross profit of Huntsman International for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $155 million and $152 million, respectively, or 19% each, as compared with the 2013 period. The increase resulted from higher gross margins in all our

79


Table of Contents

      segments, except for our Polyurethanes and Pigments segments. See "—Segment Analysis" below.

    Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $1 million, or 0%, as compared with the 2013 period, primarily related to higher acquisition and integration related costs, partially offset by lower legal settlement costs and lower foreign currency losses.

    Restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $52 million from $73 million in the 2013 period. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

    Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to nil from $35 million in the 2013 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $35 million primarily from the repurchase of the remainder of our 2016 Senior Notes. For more information, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

    Our income tax expense increased and the income tax expense of Huntsman International increased by $55 million and $54 million, respectively, as compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to increased pre-tax income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our effective tax rate was 29%, which is lower than our effective tax rate of 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to various valuation allowance releases in 2014, as well as our Textile Effects segment's restructuring charges in 2013 which received little tax benefit. Our tax expense is significantly affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, as impacted by the presence of valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. For further information concerning taxes, see "Note 16. Income Taxes" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Polyurethanes

        The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower average selling prices. Sales volumes increased as a result of an increase in MDI sales volumes due to improved demand in all regions and across most major markets, partially offset by a decrease in PO/MTBE sales volumes primarily as a result of a manufacturing disruption at our Port Neches, Texas facility, which resulted in lower EBITDA of approximately $10 million. Average selling prices decreased as a result of a decrease in PO/MTBE average selling prices, primarily due to less favorable market conditions. The decrease in average selling prices was partially offset by an increase in MDI average selling prices in the Americas and European regions, partially offset by lower component pricing in China. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to increased MDI earnings, partially offset by lower PO/MTBE earnings.

Performance Products

        The increase in revenues in our Performance Products segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. Average selling prices increased in response to higher raw material costs and strong market conditions for amines, maleic anhydride and specialty surfactants. Sales volumes increased due to a lower level of scheduled maintenance outage at our major production facilities in Port Neches, Texas during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013, as well as improved demand for amines and maleic anhydride. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to the impact of our scheduled maintenance in the first quarter of 2013, estimated at $55 million, and increased margins in amines and maleic anhydride, partially offset by higher restructuring charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Performance Products segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $23 million and $4 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Advanced Materials

        The decrease in revenues in our Advanced Materials segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by

Table of Contents

higher average selling prices and favorable sales mix. Sales volumes decreased in our base resins business primarily due to our restructuring efforts. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we closed two of our base resins production units as we focus on higher value markets, such as aerospace, transportation and industrial and coatings and construction markets. Average selling prices increased in all regions and across most markets primarily due to certain price increase initiatives and higher value sales. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins, lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and lower selling, general and administrative costs as a result of recent restructuring efforts. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Advanced Materials segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $5 million and $27 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Textile Effects

        The increase in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. Average selling prices increased primarily in response to higher raw material costs. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to the de-selection of lower value business. The increase in segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher margins, lower manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs as a result of our restructuring efforts and lower restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring, impairment and plant closing and transition costs of $14 million and $32 million, respectively. For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Pigments

        The decrease in revenues in our Pigments segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 was primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes. Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of high industry inventory levels, partially offset by the strength of the euro against the U.S. dollar. Sales volumes increased primarily as a result of higher end-use demand, particularly in Europe. The decrease in segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower margins and higher acquisition expenses and integration costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our Pigments segment recorded acquisition expenses and integration costs of $12 million and $1 million, respectively. For more information concerning acquisition expenses and integration costs, see "Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide Acquisition" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Corporate and other

        Corporate and other includes unallocated corporate overhead, unallocated foreign 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, benzene sales and gains and losses on the disposition of corporate assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman Corporation increased by $47 million to a loss of $94 million from a loss of $141 million for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, EBITDA from Corporate and other for Huntsman International increased by $46 million to a loss of $95 million from a loss of $141 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in EBITDA from Corporate and other resulted primarily from a decrease in loss on early

Table of Contents

extinguishment of debt of $35 million (nil in 2014 compared to $35 million loss in 2013). For more information concerning the loss on early extinguishment of debt, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The increase in EBITDA also resulted from a $10 million increase in income from benzene sales ($4 million gain in 2014 compared to $6 million loss in 2013), a decrease in legal settlements of $5 million (nil in 2014 compared to $5 million of expense in 2013), a decrease in unallocated foreign exchange loss of $2 million (nil in 2014 compared to $2 million loss in 2013) and a $2 million decrease in restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs ($6 million expense in 2014 compared to $8 million expense in 2013). For more information concerning restructuring activities, see "Note 6. Restructuring Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The increase in EBITDA was partially offset by a $4 million increase in LIFO inventory valuation expense ($5 million of expense in 2014 compared to $1 million of expense in 2013).

Discontinued Operations

        The operating results of our former polymers, base chemicals and Australian styrenics businesses are classified as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, the revenues of these businesses are excluded from revenues for all periods presented. The EBITDA of these former businesses are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The loss from discontinued operations represents the operating results, legal costs, restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs and gain (loss) on disposal with respect to our former businesses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The following is a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources and does not include separate information with respect to Huntsman International in accordance with General Instructions H(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-Q.

Cash

        Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $17 million and $2 million, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the same period in 2013 was primarily attributable to a $176 million unfavorable variance in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared with the same period of 2013, offset in part by an increase in operating income as described in "—Results of Operations" above.

        Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $202 million and $182 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid $214 million and $181 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we made investments in Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. of $17 million and $20 million, respectively, and in Nanjing Jinling Huntsman New Materials Co., Ltd of $12 million in each period, and we received dividends from Louisiana Pigment Company, L.P. of $30 million and $34 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid nil and $7 million, respectively, for the acquisition of businesses and received $14 million and $2 million, respectively, from the sale of businesses and assets.

        Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $103 million and $(27) million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to higher net borrowings during the 2014 period as compared to the 2013.

        Our working capital increased by $304 million as a result of the net impact of the following significant changes:

    The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $117 million resulted from the matters identified on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (unaudited).

    Accounts and notes receivable increased by $295 million mainly due to higher sales in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of 2013.

    Inventories increased by $106 million mainly due to higher inventory levels primarily in our Polyurethanes and Performance Products segments resulting from higher benzene and raw material costs, anticipation of higher seasonal demand in the third quarter of 2014 and anticipated scheduled maintenance outages at certain manufacturing facilities during the third quarter of 2014.

    The increase in accounts payable of $49 million was primarily due to higher purchases to support the higher inventory balance.

    The decrease in accrued liabilities of $44 million was primarily due to decreases in accrued taxes, other than income taxes, of $14 million, accrued payroll of $17 million and accrued rebates of $26 million, partially offset by an increase in debt issuance costs of $21 million related to our anticipated acquisition of Rockwood.

DIRECT AND SUBSIDIARY DEBT

        Huntsman Corporation's direct debt and guarantee obligations consist of a guarantee of certain indebtedness incurred from time to time to finance certain insurance premiums. Substantially all of our other debt, including the facilities described below, has been incurred by our subsidiaries (primarily Huntsman International). Huntsman Corporation is not a guarantor of such subsidiary debt.

        Certain of our subsidiaries are designated as nonguarantor subsidiaries and have third-party debt agreements. These debt agreements contain certain restrictions with regard to dividends, distributions, loans or advances. In certain circumstances, the consent of a third party would be required prior to the transfer of any cash or assets from these subsidiaries to us.

Senior Credit Facilities

        As of June 30, 2014, our Senior Credit Facilities consisted of our Revolving Facility, our Extended Term Loan B, our Extended Term Loan B—Series 2 and our Term Loan C as follows (dollars in millions):

(1)
We have commitments with certain financial institutions to provide for a $200 million increase to our Revolving Increase to an aggregate Revolving Facility committed amount of $600 million upon completion of the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood.

(2)
We had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; we had approximately $17 million (U.S. dollar equivalents) of letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(3)
The applicable interest rate of the Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain secured leverage ratio thresholds. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balances under the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 3%.

        Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by our Guarantors, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our domestic property, plant and equipment, the stock of all of our material domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries, and pledges of intercompany notes between certain of our subsidiaries.

Amendment to the Credit Agreement

        On October 15, 2013, Huntsman International entered into a tenth amendment to the agreement governing the Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things, permits us to incur the New Term Loan and to increase our Revolving Facility.

        We have entered into commitments with certain financial institutions to provide for the New Term Loan and provide for $200 million of the Revolving Increase. We intend to use the net proceeds of the New Term Loan, when funded, to pay the cash consideration related to Huntsman International's acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood. If the acquisition is not consummated, we may use the net proceeds to refinance certain indebtedness of Huntsman International. These commitments will expire on September 17, 2014. We intend to make certain modifications to these financing arrangements that will effectively extend the expiration date to December 17, 2014.

        The New Term Loan will mature on the seventh anniversary of the date such New Term Loan is funded and will amortize in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan, payable quarterly commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ended after the date the New Term Loan is funded. The Revolving Increase will mature on the same date as the Revolving Facility.

2020 Senior Notes

  November 2020     4.875 % $650 ($647 carrying value)

Senior Subordinated Notes

  March 2021     8.625 % $530 ($540 carrying value)

        On June 2, 2014, pursuant to an indenture entered into on December 23, 2013, Huntsman International issued €145 million (approximately $197 million) aggregate principal amount of additional 2021 Senior Notes. The notes are recorded at carrying value €150 million (approximately $204 million) as of June 30, 2014.

        The 2021 Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.125% per year payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year and are due on April 15, 2021. Huntsman International may redeem the 2021 Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to January 15, 2021 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest.

        The 2021 Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Huntsman International and are guaranteed on a general unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors. The indentures impose certain limitations on the ability of Huntsman International and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, incur indebtedness of nonguarantor subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, holders of the 2021 Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes will have the right to require that Huntsman International purchase all or a portion of such holder's 2021 and 2020 Senior Notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Redemption of Notes and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

        We did not redeem or repurchase any of our notes during the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we redeemed or repurchased the following notes (monetary amounts in millions):

Variable Interest Entity Debt

        As of June 30, 2014, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, had $166 million outstanding under its loan commitments and debt financing arrangements. Arabian Amines Company is currently not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its loan commitments. We do not guarantee these loan commitments, and Arabian Amines Company is not a guarantor of any of our other debt obligations. Arabian Amines Company's noncompliance with its financial covenants does not affect any of our debt obligations. While the lenders under the loan commitments have agreed to certain modifications, we continue discussions with Arabian Amines Company's lenders and expect to resolve the noncompliance. As of June 30, 2014, the amounts

87


Table of Contents

outstanding under these loan commitments were classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

Note Payable from Huntsman International to Huntsman Corporation

        As of June 30, 2014, we have a loan of $807 million to our subsidiary, Huntsman International. The Intercompany Note is unsecured and $100 million of the outstanding amount is classified as current as of June 30, 2014 on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). As of June 30, 2014, under the terms of the Intercompany Note, Huntsman International promises to pay us interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum based on the previous monthly average borrowing rate obtained under our U.S. A/R Program, less 10 basis points (provided that the rate shall not exceed an amount that is 25 basis points less than the monthly average borrowing rate obtained for the U.S. LIBOR-based borrowings under our Revolving Facility).

COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS

        We believe that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the agreements governing our material debt instruments, including our Senior Credit Facilities, our A/R Programs and our notes. However, Arabian Amines Company, our consolidated 50%-owned joint venture, is currently not in compliance with certain financial covenants contained under its loan commitments. See "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Variable Interest Entity Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        Our material financing arrangements contain certain covenants with which we must comply. A failure to comply with a covenant could result in a default under a financing arrangement unless we obtained an appropriate waiver or forbearance (as to which we can provide no assurance). A default under these material financing arrangements generally allows debt holders the option to declare the underlying debt obligations immediately due and payable. Furthermore, certain of our material financing arrangements contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions under which a failure to comply with the covenants in one financing arrangement may result in an event of default under another financing arrangement.

        Our Senior Credit Facilities are subject to the Leverage Covenant which applies only to the Revolving Facility and is calculated at the Huntsman International level. The Leverage Covenant is applicable only if borrowings, letters of credit or guarantees are outstanding under the Revolving Facility (cash collateralized letters of credit or guarantees are not deemed outstanding). The Leverage Covenant is a net senior secured leverage ratio covenant which requires that Huntsman International's ratio of senior secured debt to EBITDA (as defined in the applicable agreement) is not more than 3.75 to 1.

        If in the future Huntsman International fails to comply with the Leverage Covenant, then we may not have access to liquidity under our Revolving Facility. If Huntsman International failed to comply with the Leverage Covenant at a time when we had uncollateralized loans or letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility, Huntsman International would be in default under the Senior Credit Facilities, and, unless Huntsman International obtained a waiver or forbearance with respect to such default (as to which we can provide no assurance), Huntsman International could be required to pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full, and we may not have further access to such facilities.

        The agreements governing our A/R Programs also contain certain receivable performance metrics. Any material failure to meet the applicable A/R Programs' metrics in the future could lead to an early termination event under the A/R Programs, which could require us to cease our use of such facilities, prohibiting us from additional borrowings against our receivables or, at the discretion of the lenders, requiring that we repay the A/R Programs in full. An early termination event under the A/R Programs would also constitute an event of default under our Senior Credit Facilities, which could require us to

88


Table of Contents

pay off the balance of the Senior Credit Facilities in full and could result in the loss of our Senior Credit Facilities.

SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY

        We depend upon our cash, credit facilities, A/R Programs and other debt instruments to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of June 30, 2014, we had $1,072 million of combined cash and unused borrowing capacity, consisting of $412 million in cash and restricted cash, $383 million in availability under our Revolving Facility, and $277 million in availability under our A/R Programs. Our liquidity can be significantly impacted by various factors. The following matters had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on our liquidity:

    Cash invested in our accounts receivable and inventory, net of accounts payable, increased by approximately $315 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (unaudited). We expect volatility in our working capital components to continue.

    During 2014, we expect to spend approximately $500 million on capital expenditures, net of reimbursements, excluding any amounts associated with the planned acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood. Our future expenditures include certain EHS maintenance and upgrades; periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities; expansions of our existing facilities or construction of new facilities; certain cost reduction projects; and certain information technology expenditures. We expect to fund this spending with cash provided by operations.

    During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made contributions to our pension and postretirement benefit plans of $60 million. During 2014, we expect to contribute an additional amount of approximately $76 million to these plans.

    We are also involved in a number of cost reduction programs for which we have established restructuring accruals. As of June 30, 2014, we had $115 million of accrued restructuring costs from continuing operations, and we expect to incur and pay additional restructuring and plant closing costs of up to approximately $39 million.

    On September 17, 2013, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with Rockwood, which was amended on March 20, 2014. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, we will acquire Rockwood's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses for approximately $1.05 billion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and the assumption of certain unfunded pension liabilities estimated at $225 million as of June 30, 2013. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, and we continue to work with the European Commission in their review of the proposed acquisition of Rockwood's Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide business. We have proposed certain remedies we believe address the Commission's concerns and are confident that final approval will be secured by the end of the third quarter of 2014. To accommodate possible delays that may arise from the European Commission review, we have entered into an amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement to extend its term to the end of October. This extension is conditioned on also extending the financing arrangements, which we are in the process of doing. See "Note 1. General—Recent Developments—Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide Acquisition" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). In connection with the acquisition, we have entered into financing commitments with certain financial institutions to provide a $1.2 billion New Term Loan and a $200 million Revolving Increase under our existing Senior Credit Facilities. These commitments will expire on September 17, 2014. See "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

Table of Contents

        As of June 30, 2014, we had $257 million classified as current portion of debt, including debt at our variable interest entities of $180 million, a borrowing facility and short term debt in China for Huntsman Polyurethanes Shanghai Ltd. (our consolidated splitting joint venture with Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Company, Ltd) totaling $33 million, our scheduled Senior Credit Facilities amortization payments totaling $14 million and certain other short-term facilities and scheduled amortization payments totaling $30 million. Although we cannot provide assurances, we intend to renew or extend the majority of these short-term facilities in the current period.

        As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $250 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash held by our foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities. Additionally, we have material intercompany debt obligations owed to us by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. We intend to use cash held in our foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations. Nevertheless, we could repatriate cash as dividends or as repayments of intercompany debt. If foreign cash were repatriated as dividends, the dividends could be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes without any offsetting foreign tax credit relief. At present, we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash in our U.S. operations, together with the payments of intercompany debt, if necessary, to meet our cash needs in the U.S and we do not expect to repatriate cash to the U.S. as dividends. Cash held by certain foreign subsidiaries, including our variable interest entities, may also be subject to legal restrictions, including those arising from the interests of our partners, which could limit the amounts available for repatriation.

RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND PLANT CLOSING COSTS

        Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments are involved in cost reduction programs that are expected to reduce costs in these businesses by approximately $240 million. These cost savings are expected to be achieved through the beginning of 2015. For further discussion of these plans and the costs involved, see "Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity pricing risks. From time to time, we enter into transactions, including transactions involving derivative instruments, to manage certain of these exposures.

        All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are recorded on our balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged items are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, to the extent effective, and will be recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent applicable, we perform effectiveness assessments in order to use hedge accounting at each reporting period. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

        We also hedge our net investment in certain European operations. Changes in the fair value of the hedge in the net investment of certain European operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

        Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our revenues and expenses are denominated in various foreign currencies. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Where practicable, we generally net multicurrency cash balances among our subsidiaries to help reduce exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Certain other exposures may be managed from time to time through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (generally with maturities of one year or less). We do not hedge our foreign currency exposures in a manner that would eliminate the effect of changes in exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $215 million in notional amount (in U.S. dollar equivalents) outstanding in forward foreign currency contracts.

        On December 9, 2009, we entered into a five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded in other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.6% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedge was $1 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On January 19, 2010, we entered into an additional five-year interest rate contract to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities. The notional value of the contract is $50 million, and it has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swap was recorded as other comprehensive loss. We will pay a fixed 2.8% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedge was $1 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        On September 1, 2011, we entered into a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in December 2014 with maturity in April 2017 and a $50 million forward interest rate contract that will begin in January 2015 with maturity in April 2017. These two forward contracts are to hedge the variability caused by monthly changes in cash flow due to associated changes in LIBOR under our Senior Credit Facilities once our existing interest rate hedges mature. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income. Both interest rate contracts will pay a fixed 2.5% on the hedge and receive the one-month LIBOR rate once the contracts begin in 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of

June 30, 2014, the combined fair value of these two hedges was $3 million and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        In 2009, Sasol-Huntsman entered into derivative transactions to hedge the variable interest rate associated with its local credit facility. These derivative rate hedges include a floating to fixed interest rate contract providing Sasol-Huntsman with EURIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 3.62% and a cap for future periods with a strike price of 3.62%. In connection with the consolidation of Sasol-Huntsman as of April 1, 2011, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the hedges as of June 30, 2014 was €25 million (approximately $34 million) and the derivative transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the hedges was less than €1 million (less than approximately $1 million) and was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a reduction of interest expense of nil and €1 million (approximately $1 million), respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the hedges.

        Beginning in 2009, Arabian Amines Company entered into a 12-year floating to fixed interest rate contract providing for a receipt of LIBOR interest payments for a fixed payment of 5.02%. In connection with the consolidation of Arabian Amines Company as of July 1, 2010, the interest rate contract is now included in our consolidated results. See "Note 5. Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). The notional amount of the swap as of June 30, 2014 was $30 million, and the interest rate contract is not designated as a cash flow hedge. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the swap was $3 million and was recorded in current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded additional (reduction of) interest expense of nil each due to changes in fair value of the swap. As of June 30, 2014, Arabian Amines Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under its loan commitments. For more information, see "Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt—Variable Interest Entity Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited).

        In conjunction with the issuance of our 8.625% senior subordinated notes due 2020, we entered into cross-currency interest rate contracts with three counterparties. On March 17, 2010, we made payments of $350 million to these counterparties and received €255 million from these counterparties, and on maturity (March 15, 2015) we are required to pay €255 million to these counterparties and will receive $350 million from these counterparties. On March 15 and September 15 of each year, we will receive U.S. dollar interest payments of approximately $15 million (equivalent to an annual rate of 8.625%) and make interest payments of approximately €11 million (equivalent to an annual rate of approximately 8.41%). This swap is designated as a hedge of net investment for financial reporting purposes. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of this swap was $3 million and was recorded in current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited).

        We finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans that are, in many cases, denominated in currencies other than the entities' functional currency. We manage the net foreign currency exposure created by this debt through various means, including cross-currency swaps, the designation of certain intercompany loans as permanent loans because they are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future and the designation of certain debt and swaps as net investment hedges.

        Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are not designated as permanent loans are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are designated as permanent loans are recorded in other comprehensive income. From time to time, we review such designation of intercompany loans.

        We review our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt and derivative instruments to determine the appropriate amounts designated as hedges. As of June 30, 2014, we have designated approximately €475 million (approximately $645 million) of euro-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate contracts as a hedge of our net investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the amount of gain recognized on the hedge of our net investment was $5 million and $6 million, respectively, and was recorded in other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (unaudited). As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately €1,028 million (approximately $1,397 million) in net euro assets.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        No changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). However, we can only give reasonable assurance that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Ineffective internal controls over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.
