Segment Analysis for 3Q15 Compared to 3Q14

Polyurethanes

The decrease in revenues in our Polyurethanes division for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to lower average selling prices partially offset by higher sales volumes. MDI average selling prices decreased in response to lower raw material costs and the currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies. PO/MTBE average selling prices decreased in-line with lower pricing for high octane gasoline. PO/MTBE sales volumes increased primarily as a result of not experiencing an unplanned manufacturing disruption at our Port Neches, Texas facility as we did in the third quarter 2014. MDI sales volumes decreased due to lower demand in the Asian and Americas regions partially offset by growth in the European region. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the foreign currency exchange impact of a stronger U.S. dollar against major European currencies and lower MDI sales volumes partially offset by higher MDI contribution margins.
