Interim Financial Statements

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and Huntsman International’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements 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 (loss), 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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, 2025 for our Company and Huntsman International.

Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International Financial Statements

Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the condensed consolidated financial statements for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our condensed consolidated financial statements and Huntsman International’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate primarily to different capital structures.

​​

Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements 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.

 

Huntsman International declared and paid to us distributions in the form of certain affiliate accounts receivable during 2026 and 2025.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period presentation.

 

Recent Developments

 

Proposed Merger with Olin Corporation

 

On June 16, 2026, Huntsman and Olin announced the proposed combination of Huntsman and Olin in an all-stock merger of equals pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger entered into on June 15, 2026. Olin filed a registration statement on Form S-4/A, which the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective on July 13, 2026. Also on July 13, 2026, both Huntsman and Olin filed a joint proxy statement/prospectus. The merger agreement provides for, among other things, the merger of Huntsman and Olin, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein and contains certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the merger. If the merger is completed, for each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Huntsman owned by Huntsman stockholders immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Huntsman stockholders will be entitled to receive 0.5476 shares of Olin common stock, as further described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. Under the merger agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the merger, including restrictions on share repurchases and direct and subsidiary debt.

 

The merger is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval of our stockholders and Olin’s shareholders. Following the closing of the merger, it is expected that our stockholders will own approximately 45.5% of the combined company and Olin shareholders will own approximately 54.5% of the combined company. We have operated and, until the anticipated completion of the merger, will continue to operate independently of Olin. See “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” for certain risks related to the merger.
