2 Fourth-Quarter 2010 Earnings Cautionary Statement The information in this presentation includes forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events, such as anticipated revenues, earnings, business strategies, competitive position or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward^looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to, availability, cost and price volatility of raw materials and utilities; supply/demand balances; industry production capacities and operating rates; uncertainties associated with 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; the ability to comply with the terms of our credit facilities and other financing arrangements; the ability to implement business strategies; and other factors affecting our business generally as set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found at www.lyondellbasell.com on the Investor Relations page and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

3 Fourth-Quarter 2010 Earnings Information Related to Financial Measures In this presentation, we have used non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company reports its financial information for a predecessor period ending on April 30, 2010, the date of emergence from chapter 11, and a successor period after such date in accordance with GAAP. We have presented "combined" results of operations for the full year 2010. Combined results of operations 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 comparisons. We also use EBITDA, EBITDAR and EBITDA(R), as well as those measures on an adjusted basis. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures are provided in Table 9 of our earnings release, available on our website at www.lyondellbasell.com/investorrelations. In our predecessor period, 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 predecessor periods. In our successor periods, 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 therefore use both current cost and LIFO methodologies.
