     “During the second quarter, we continued to demonstrate the earnings potential of our company as margins increased over already strong first-quarter levels,” said LyondellBasell Chief Executive Officer Jim Gallogly. “Our EBITDA of more than $1.5 billion brings our first half EBITDA to nearly $3 billion.”
     “In U.S. olefins, we continued to optimize plant operations across our assets, taking advantage of low-cost natural gas liquids while at the same time completing major maintenance activities at one of our Channelview olefins plants. Improved cracker and butadiene margins led to solid European olefins results,” added Gallogly. “Our Intermediates & Derivatives segment continued its strong, stable performance. Our Refining & Oxyfuels segment captured margin through improved operations and the purchase of advantaged crude oils for the Houston refinery while oxyfuels volumes increased and spreads widened during the summer driving season,” Gallogly said.
     “The Supervisory Board now consists of a majority of independent directors following the election of four new members in May. During the second quarter, in addition to repaying 10 percent of our 8 percent Notes, we also paid our first dividend to shareholders,” added Gallogly.
OUTLOOK
     “Following a very strong first half of the year, we remain positive about the balance of 2011,” commented Gallogly. “The Chinese polyolefins market is giving indications that it is recovering from its

soft patch and although U.S. and European polymer markets are still adjusting to this disruption, we are entering a period of significant industry maintenance. Since our key U.S. maintenance projects have been completed for the year, we should be the beneficiary of tightened supply/demand conditions and any opportunities that this may create,” continued Gallogly.
     “Most importantly, the fundamentals that created strong first-half results remain intact,” Gallogly said. “Specifically, we continue to benefit from the favorable ratio of U.S. natural gas prices to crude oil prices. The flexibility within our assets makes us particularly well suited to benefit from this environment. Additionally, our Houston refinery’s ability to process discounted heavy crude oils further enhances our favorable position. The benefits we capture in this environment are clearly visible in our first half results. These fundamentals are expected to continue into the foreseeable future.”
LYONDELLBASELL BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT
     LyondellBasell operates in five business segments: 1) Olefins & Polyolefins — Americas; 2) Olefins & Polyolefins — Europe, Asia, International; 3) Intermediates & Derivatives; 4) Refining & Oxyfuels; and 5) Technology.
Olefins & Polyolefins — Americas (O&P-Americas) — The primary products of this segment include ethylene and its co-products (propylene, butadiene and benzene), polyethylene, polypropylene and Catalloy process resins.

EBITDA

(a)   Operating income and EBITDA are calculated using the LIFO method of inventory accounting. See Table 8.
     Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 — O&P-Americas segment EBITDA increased $94 million versus the first quarter 2011. Olefins profitability improved approximately $130 million despite the approximately $75 million lost opportunity cost of the scheduled maintenance activity at one of our Channelview olefins plants and an approximately $25 million weather related lost opportunity cost at our Morris, Ill. facility. An ethylene sales price increase of approximately 9 cents per pound was partially offset by an approximately 2 cents per pound increase in the company’s average cost-of-ethylene-production metric. Higher monomer prices contributed to an approximately $50 million decline in polyethylene (PE) results as sales price increases lagged monomer price increases. Polypropylene (PP) profits for the second quarter 2011 increased approximately $10 million versus the first quarter 2011. Total polyolefins sales volumes were relatively unchanged from the prior period.

(a)   Operating income and EBITDA are calculated using the LIFO method of inventory accounting. See Table 8.
     Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 — O&P-EAI segment EBITDA increased $95 million versus the first quarter 2011 after excluding a second-quarter 2011 joint venture dividend decline of $91 million and approximately $60 million of accruals related to a proposed European staff reorganization and possible environmental remediation charges. Olefins results improved approximately $95 million from the first quarter 2011 due to significantly improved cracker and butadiene margins. Production volumes were relatively unchanged between the periods. Polyethylene results were approximately equal to the prior period while combined polypropylene and polypropylene compounds results improved approximately $10 million from the first quarter 2011.
Intermediates & Derivatives (I&D) — The primary products of this segment include propylene oxide (PO) and its co-products (styrene monomer, tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), isobutylene and tertiary butyl hydroperoxide), and derivatives (propylene glycol, propylene glycol ethers and butanediol); acetyls, and ethylene oxide and its derivatives.

     Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 — I&D segment EBITDA increased $44 million versus the first quarter 2011. Decreased sales volumes, as a result of the end of the aircraft deicer season, were primarily responsible for lower PO and PO derivatives results. Intermediates profitability increased versus the first quarter 2011 as increased acetyls and styrene margins and a $41 million gain on the sale of spent silver catalyst boosted results.

EBITDA

(a)   Operating income and EBITDA are calculated using the LIFO method of inventory accounting. See Table 8.
     Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 — Refining & Oxyfuels segment EBITDA increased $143 million versus the first quarter 2011. The Houston refinery financial performance improved approximately $135 million versus first quarter 2011. Crude oil throughput at the Houston refinery increased slightly to 263,000 barrels per day. Refining margins improved as the average industry benchmark margin increased approximately $2 per barrel during the quarter. Margins realized at the Houston refinery increased by more than the industry benchmark due to the purchase and processing of advantaged crudes and operating benefits stemming from the first-quarter completion of the fluid catalytic cracker turnaround. Absent from second quarter results is the $34 million first-quarter Houston refinery insurance settlement. At the Berre refinery, results declined approximately $10 million from first quarter 2011 due to low naphtha prices relative to gasoline and additional crude costs related to the Libyan political situation. Throughput was reduced due to poor economics. Oxyfuels results improved approximately $50 million compared to the first quarter 2011 due to seasonally higher volumes and margins.
Technology Segment — The principal products of the Technology segment include polyolefin catalysts and production process technology licenses and related services.

     Three months ended June 30, 2011 versus three months ended March 31, 2011 — Results declined compared to the prior quarter due to lower licensing income and a $16 million charge related to the closing of a U.S. research facility.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
     This release 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. 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.
We have included EBITDA in this press release, as we believe that EBITDA is a measure commonly used by investors. However, EBITDA, 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 release and our other disclosures, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and restructuring costs, as adjusted for other items management does not believe are indicative of the Company’s underlying results of operations, including but not limited to, impairment charges, reorganization items and the effect of mark-to-market accounting on our warrants, to the extent applicable, as shown in Table 9 at the end of this release. EBITDA also includes dividends from joint ventures. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to profit or operating profit for any period as an indicator of our performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.

     Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables at the end of this release.
OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURE PRESENTATION NOTES
          As a result of the Company’s reorganization proceedings and its emergence from Chapter 11, financial results are prepared and disclosed for a predecessor company for the time period before May 1, 2010, and the successor company for time periods after April 30, 2010, the date of emergence. For financial accounting purposes, the predecessor and successor companies are considered to be two separate entities. As a result of the reorganization and application of fresh-start accounting, the results of operations of the predecessor and successor companies may not be comparable.
