Disclaimer and Notice The statements in this presentation relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions of management which are believed to be reasonable at the time made, and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially based on factors including, but not limited to, the ability to comply with the terms of our credit facilities and other financing arrangements; the costs and availability of financing; the ability to maintain adequate liquidity; the ability to implement business strategies; availability, cost and price volatility of raw materials and utilities; supply/demand balances; industry production capacities and operating rates; uncertainties associated with the U.S. and worldwide economies; legal, tax and environmental proceedings; cyclical nature of the chemical and refining industries; operating interruptions; current and potential governmental regulatory actions; terrorist acts; international political unrest; competitive products and pricing; technological developments; risks of doing business outside of the U.S.; access to capital markets; and other risk factors. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in our registration statements, which are available at www.lyondellbasell.com on the Investor Relations page and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. This presentation makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles but believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the company's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. As a result of the company's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the application of fresh-start accounting, the company reported its second quarter financial information for a predecessor period ending on April 30, 2010, the date of emergence, and a successor period after such date in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of this presentation, we have presented "combined" results of operations for the second quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are the sum of (i) the predecessor period of April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 and (ii) the successor period of May 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the combined results are the sum of (i) the first quarter 2010 results of operations; (ii) the predecessor period of April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010; (iii) the successor period of May 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010; and (iv) the third quarter 2010 results of operations. The results of operations on the combined basis are non- GAAP because they combine two separate reporting entities. We have included the combined financial information because we believe it gives investors a better understanding of the year-over-year and sequential quarter comparisons. We also include certain other non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDAR, EBITDA, and net debt. While we believe that EBITDAR and EBITDA are measures commonly used by investors, EBITDAR and EBITDA, as presented herein, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way the measures are calculated. For purposes of this presentation, EBITDAR means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring costs, and EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In both cases, the measures include dividends from joint ventures and are adjusted for certain unusual or non-recurring items such as impairments, reorganization items and the effects of mark-to-market accounting on our warrants. EBITDAR and EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to profit or operating profit for any period as an indicator of our performance, or as alternatives to operating cash flows as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, we have used "EBITDA(R)" within this presentation to denote a combined period that used both EBITDAR and EBITDA. While we also believe that net debt is a measure commonly used by investors, net debt, as presented herein, may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies due to differences in the way the measure is calculated. For purposes of this presentation, net debt means short-term debt plus current maturities of long-term debt plus long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Prior to emergence from Chapter 11,we utilized a combination of First-In, First-Out and Last In-First Out inventory methods for financial reporting. For purposes of evaluating segment results, management reviewed operating results using current cost, which approximates LIFO. As supplementary information, and for our segment reporting, we also provide EBITDAR information on a current cost basis for periods prior to our emergence from Chapter 11. Since emergence from Chapter 11, we have utilized the LIFO inventory methodology and EBITDA information for periods after our emergence is on a LIFO basis The combined financial results and measures that are disclosed in this presentation, including EBITDAR, therefore, use both current cost and LIFO methodologies. Reference to reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures are provided at the end of this presentation. This presentation contains time sensitive information that is accurate only as of the time hereof. Information contained in this presentation is unaudited and is subject to change. We undertake no obligation to update the information presented herein except to the extent required by law.
