Cautionary Statement
2
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 statements 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 the “Risk Factors” section of  
our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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.
This presentation contains time sensitive information that is accurate only as of the date hereof.   
Information contained in this presentation is unaudited and is subject to change.  We undertake no
obligation to update the information presented herein except as required by law.


Information Related to Financial Measures
3
We have included EBITDA in this presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, 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 presentation, EBITDA means net income before net interest
expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, reorganization items, income from equity
investments, income(loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, net income (loss) from discontinued
operations, plus joint venture dividends, as adjusted for other items management does not believe are
indicative of the Company’s underlying results of operations such as impairment charges, asset   
retirement obligations and the effect of mark-to-market accounting on our warrants. The specific items for
which EBITDA is adjusted in each applicable reporting period may only be relevant in certain periods and
are disclosed in the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures. 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.  See Table 9 of our accompanying
earnings release for reconciliations of EBITDA to net income.
 
While we also believe that free cash flow (FCF) measure is commonly used by investors, free cash flow, 
as presented herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies   
due to differences in the way the measure is calculated. For purposes of this presentation, free cash flow
means net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures.
