"We are pleased to deliver a second consecutive quarter of record earnings, and our best quarter ever. During the third quarter we achieved diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.46 and, for the first time, EBITDA exceeded $2 billion. Our Olefins and Polyolefins- Americas segment generated EBITDA in excess of $1.1 billion during the quarter. A tight U.S. ethylene market helped drive the record earnings," said Jim Gallogly, LyondellBasell Chief Executive Officer.
"In addition to our strong earnings, we continue to return cash to our shareholders. During the quarter, dividends and share repurchases totaled $1.6 billion. We repurchased approximately 12 million shares during the third quarter, and approximately 46 million shares year to date. Since the first share repurchase program was started in May 2013, we have repurchased approximately 73 million shares, or approximately 13 percent of the shares outstanding," continued Gallogly.
"Industry fundamentals remained strong during the quarter, and we continue to make progress on our investment program. Late in the quarter we initiated production from the 800 million pound per year La Porte ethylene expansion. This is the first of multiple ethylene expansions by the company, putting us well ahead of new greenfield plants pursued by others in the industry. In addition, we announced the development of two new growth projects, a further expansion of our Channelview olefins complex and a new U.S. Gulf Coast PO/TBA plant. Both projects take advantage of the favorable environment for North American raw materials, and the PO/TBA plant leverages our proprietary technology. These projects demonstrate that LyondellBasell has continued organic growth opportunities," Gallogly added.
OUTLOOK
"Despite declines in crude oil prices, U.S. industry fundamentals remained favorable through the first weeks of October. Domestic ethylene and polyolefins pricing remained strong, and we continued to benefit from favorable NGL pricing. Our fourth quarter results should be favorably impacted by the new La Porte ethylene capacity. Additionally, our refinery should begin receiving shipments of Canadian crude from the Flanagan South pipeline. However, we historically experience margin compression in products such as oxyfuels in winter months and slower polyolefin demand around the holiday season. Recent crude oil price declines are expected to ultimately impact domestic margins but today's tight market conditions may delay the timing of potential declines. We are watching to see how this develops. Given favorable NGL prices, our domestic assets remain significantly advantaged," Gallogly noted.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended June 30, 2014 – The segment achieved record EBITDA results in the third quarter of 2014. EBITDA increased $179 million versus the second quarter 2014. Third quarter results include a $45 million non-cash LCM charge generated from a decline in inventory valuation. Compared to the prior period, olefins results increased approximately $220 million. This increase was largely driven by an increase in the average ethylene price of approximately eight cents per pound during the period. Third quarter ethylene sales volumes increased despite being negatively impacted by the delayed restart of the La Porte olefins plant. Combined polyolefin results decreased by approximately $40 million from the second quarter 2014. Strong demand was offset by a decrease in the ethylene to polyethylene price spread of seven cents per pound. Joint venture equity income was stable quarter on quarter.
Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended September 30, 2013 – EBITDA increased $316 million versus the third quarter 2013. The third quarter 2014 included a $45 million non-cash LCM charge. Olefins results increased approximately $260 million compared to the prior year period. Margins benefited from lower NGL costs and an approximately nine cents per pound higher average price of ethylene compared to the prior year period. Ethylene demand improved primarily from increased internal polyethylene production. Polyethylene results increased by approximately $35 million as volume improved by approximately 15 percent. Polypropylene results increased by approximately $10 million primarily from higher margins. Joint venture equity income decreased by $1 million.
Olefins and Polyolefins - Europe, Asia, International (O) – The primary products of this segment include ethylene and its co-products (propylene and butadiene), polyethylene, polypropylene, global polypropylene compounds, Catalloy process resins and polybutene-1 resins.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended June 30, 2014 – EBITDA increased $24 million versus the second quarter 2014. Olefins results increased by approximately $35 million primarily due to lower production costs. Approximately 55 percent of our ethylene production was sourced from advantaged raw materials. Ethylene operating rates were 95 percent during the third quarter. Combined polyolefin results increased by approximately $15 million. Combined polypropylene compounds and polybutene-1 results declined approximately $15 million as volume declined approximately 6 percent from lower seasonal demand. Equity income from joint ventures decreased by $7 million from the second quarter 2014 primarily as a result of planned and unplanned maintenance.
Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended September 30, 2013 – EBITDA increased $139 million versus the third quarter 2013. Olefins results increased by approximately $85 million primarily as a result of higher margins from processing advantaged feedstocks, lower naphtha, higher operating rates, and improved co-product values. Combined polyolefin results increased approximately $50 million primarily as a result of higher margins. Polypropylene compounds and polybutene-1 results decreased by approximately $10 million from the prior year period. Equity income from joint ventures increased $8 million from the third quarter 2013.
Intermediates and Derivatives (I) – 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 (acetic acid, vinyl acetate monomer and methanol), ethylene oxide and its derivatives, and oxyfuels.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended June 30, 2014 – EBITDA decreased $47 million versus the second quarter 2014. Results for PO and PO derivatives increased by approximately $25 million. Increased PO volumes and higher PO derivative margins drove the increase. Intermediate chemicals results decreased by approximately $50 million. Lower styrene results and unplanned outages at our ethylene oxide and methanol plants were responsible for the decline. Oxyfuels results declined by approximately $20 million due to lower sales volumes. Equity income from joint ventures increased by $3 million.
Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended September 30, 2013 – EBITDA decreased $44 million compared to the third quarter 2013. Results for PO and PO derivatives increased by approximately $30 million as a result of higher volumes and better pricing as a result of tight PO supply. Intermediate chemicals results were lower by approximately $55 million despite higher methanol volume. Styrene raw material margins declined approximately 13 cents per pound from strong third quarter 2013 margins. Oxyfuels results decreased by approximately $30 million. Equity income from joint ventures decreased $4 million from the third quarter 2013.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended June 30, 2014 – EBITDA decreased $27 million versus the second quarter 2014. The refinery processed 264,000 barrels per day, up 7,000 barrels per day from the prior quarter. Compared to the prior quarter, the Maya 2-1-1 benchmark crack spread declined by $2.66 per barrel, averaging $24.35 per barrel. The corresponding Houston refinery spread experienced a smaller decline due primarily to favorable crude purchases relative to Maya. Hydrodesulfurization unit maintenance lowered finished product yields resulting in lower margins. The cost of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) to meet U.S. renewable fuel standards was relatively unchanged versus the second quarter 2014.
Three months ended September 30, 2014 versus three months ended September 30, 2013 – EBITDA increased $102 million versus the third quarter 2013. The refinery processed 14,000 barrels per day more than the prior year period. Compared to the third quarter 2013, the Maya 2-1-1 benchmark spread increased $1.13 per barrel. The refinery also benefited from better margins on secondary products, such as propylene, naphtha, and NGLs. The cost of RINs decreased by approximately $10 million compared to the same quarter last year.
Technology – The principal products of the Technology segment include polyolefin catalysts and production process technology licenses and related services.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements in this release and the related teleconference 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; our ability to successfully execute projects and growth strategies; 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, 2013, which can be found at www.lyb.com on the Investor Relations page and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This release makes reference to certain "non-GAAP" financial measures, such as EBITDA, 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, such as EBITDA, 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.
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 alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.
Quantitative reconciliations of EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, are provided in Table 8 at the end of this release.
OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURE PRESENTATION NOTES
This release contains time sensitive information that is accurate only as of the time hereof. Information contained in this release is unaudited and subject to change. LyondellBasell undertakes no obligation to update the information presented herein except to the extent required by law.
