Huntsman ( (HUN) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Huntsman presented to its investors.
Huntsman Corporation is a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated and specialty chemicals, operating in over 60 facilities across 25 countries, serving a wide range of consumer and industrial markets.
In its first quarter of 2025, Huntsman reported a net loss of $5 million, a significant improvement from the $37 million loss in the same period last year. Despite this, the company faced an adjusted net loss of $19 million, with revenues slightly declining to $1.41 billion from $1.47 billion in the previous year.
Key financial metrics indicated a challenging quarter for Huntsman. The adjusted EBITDA decreased to $72 million from $81 million, and free cash flow from continuing operations showed a use of $107 million. The Polyurethanes segment saw a revenue decline due to lower selling prices, while the Performance Products and Advanced Materials segments faced challenges from reduced sales volumes and unfavorable sales mix.
Looking ahead, Huntsman remains focused on cost management and asset optimization, particularly in Europe and North America. The company is actively reviewing strategic options for its European maleic anhydride business and aims to protect its balance sheet while navigating uncertain market conditions.
