Segment Analysis for 1Q18 Compared to 1Q17

Polyurethanes

The increase in revenues in our Polyurethanes segment for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared
to the same period of 2017 was due to higher average selling prices and higher sales volumes. MDI average
selling prices increased in response to continued strong market conditions. MTBE average selling prices
increased primarily as a result of higher pricing for high octane gasoline. MDI sales volumes increased due to
increased demand across most major markets. MTBE sales volumes increased due to increased demand for
MTBE. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher MDI margins as well as higher
MTBE margins.
