Decrease in revenues in Huntsman Textile Effects segment

He added, “Looking forward, I am optimistic that the economic recovery will continue. While we anticipate our fourth quarter earnings to be better than last year's results for the comparable quarter, we expect fourth quarter's earnings to be seasonally lower than those announced today.”

Textile Effects
The decrease in revenues in our Textile Effects segment for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was due to lower average selling prices and lower sales volumes.

Average selling prices decreased primarily as a result of the strength of the U.S. dollar against major European currencies, the Indian rupee, the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso. Sales volumes decreased primarily due to lower demand for apparel, home and specialty textile products in the Americas and Europe as well as mill closures in these regions as a result of the worldwide economic slowdown.

The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to the lower volumes partially offset by continued fixed cost reductions. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, our Textile Effects segment recorded restructuring and plant closing charges of $3 million and $2 million, respectively.
