Cautionary Statement
2
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 business cyclicality of the chemical, polymers and refining industries; the availability, cost and price volatility of raw
materials and utilities, particularly the cost of oil, natural gas, and associated natural gas liquids; competitive product and pricing
pressures; labor conditions; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; operating interruptions (including leaks, explosions,
fires, weather-related incidents, mechanical failure, unscheduled downtime, supplier disruptions, labor shortages, strikes, work 
stoppages or other labor difficulties, transportation interruptions, spills and releases and other environmental risks); the
supply/demand balances for our and our joint ventures’ products, and the related effects of industry production capacities and
operating rates; our ability to achieve expected cost savings and other synergies; legal and environmental proceedings; tax rulings,
consequences or proceedings; technological developments, and our ability to develop new products and process technologies;
potential governmental regulatory actions; political unrest and terrorist acts; risks and uncertainties posed by international 
operations, including foreign currency fluctuations; and our ability to comply with debt covenants and service our debt.  Additional
factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the
“Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, 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.
The illustrative results or returns of growth projects are not in any way intended to be, nor should they be taken as, indicators or
guarantees of performance. The assumptions on which they are based are not projections and do not necessarily represent the
Company’s expectations and future performance. You should not rely on illustrated results or returns or these assumptions as 
being indicative of our future results or returns.
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

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.  We calculate EBITDA as income from continuing operations plus interest expense (net),
provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation & amortization. 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) and book capital are measures commonly used by investors,
free cash flow and book capital, as presented herein, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies due to differences in the way the measures are calculated. For purposes of this
presentation, free cash flow means net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and
book capital means total debt plus stockholders’ equity plus minority interests.
