US: Revenue from Huntsman’s Polyurethane division rose by 35% year-on-year to US$1.39bn in 2021 from US$1.03bn in 2020. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 8% to US$218m from US$201m. The group said that price increases offset higher raw material and logistic costs. Overall group revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased by 40% to US$8.45bn and 107% to US$1.34bn respectively.
"We concluded 2021 with the best year in our history with our current portfolio of businesses. The transformation of our portfolio has enabled our company to generate not only our highest ever adjusted EBITDA margins but consistent profit margins quarter on quarter throughout 2021, a hallmark of a more differentiated chemical business,” said chairman, president and chief executive officer Peter R Huntsman.
Huntsman produces a range of chemicals including polyisocyanurate (PIR) and polyurethane (PUR) building insulation products.
