Basis of Presentation
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. is a limited liability company (Naamloze Vennootschap) incorporated under Dutch law by deed of incorporation dated October 15, 2009. Unless otherwise indicated, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar words are used to refer to LyondellBasell Industries N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“LyondellBasell N.V.”). LyondellBasell N.V. is a worldwide manufacturer of chemicals and polymers, a refiner of crude oil, a producer of gasoline blending components and a developer and licensor of technologies for the production of polymers.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared from the books and records of LyondellBasell N.V. in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report.

These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. These statements contain some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Accounting and Reporting Changes
Recently Adopted Guidance
There were no new Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) adopted in the six months ended June 30, 2024 that had a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of June 30, 2024
Segment Disclosures
—In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
. The guidance improves the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors for additional detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the new guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax Disclosures
—In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 74): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.
The guidance requires companies to disclose certain specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet the quantitative threshold of 5% of the expected tax using the applicable statutory income tax rate. There is also a required disclosure to provide the net income taxes paid or received disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes with jurisdictions to be separately disclosed if the jurisdiction is 5% or more of the total net income taxes paid or received. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the new guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Long-Term Debt
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
—Our $
3,250
million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolving Credit Facility”), may be used for dollar and euro denominated borrowings. The facility also supports our commercial paper program, has a $
200
million sub-limit for dollar and euro denominated letters of credit and a $
1,000
million uncommitted accordion feature. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at either a base rate, secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) or EURIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin. Additional fees are incurred for the average daily unused commitments. At June 30, 2024, we had
no
borrowings or letters of credit outstanding and $
3,250
million of unused availability under this facility.
In July 2024, we amended our credit agreement to increase our senior unsecured revolving credit facility from $
3,250
million to $
3,750
million and extend the maturity to July 2029.
Guaranteed Notes due 2034
—In February 2024, LYB International Finance III, LLC (“LYB Finance III”), a wholly owned finance subsidiary of LyondellBasell Industries N.V., issued $
750
million of
5.5
% guaranteed notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”) at a discounted price of
99.2
%. Net proceeds after deducting original issuance discounts, underwriting fees and offering expenses totaled $
737
million. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2034 Notes to repay our
5.75
% senior notes due 2024 as discussed further below.
These unsecured notes, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by LyondellBasell Industries N.V., rank equally in right of payment to all of LYB Finance III’s and LyondellBasell Industries N.V.’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness that LYB Finance III or LyondellBasell Industries N.V. incurs. There are no significant restrictions that would impede LyondellBasell Industries N.V., as guarantor, from obtaining funds by dividend or loan from its subsidiaries.

LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
The indenture governing these notes contains limited covenants, including those restricting our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur indebtedness secured by significant property or by capital stock of subsidiaries that own significant property, enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions with respect to any significant property or enter into consolidations, mergers or sales of all or substantially all of our assets.
The 2034 Notes may be redeemed at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, prior to the scheduled maturity date, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (discounted at the treasury rate plus the applicable basis points) less interest accrued on the notes to be redeemed, and (ii)
100
% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. The 2034 Notes may also be redeemed at any time, on or after the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the notes at a redemption price equal to
100
% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. The notes are also redeemable upon certain tax events.
Senior Notes due 2024
—In March 2024, we repaid the $
775
million remaining outstanding principal of our
5.75
% senior notes due 2024.

million in addition to a $
300
million uncommitted accordion feature. In May 2024, we extended the term of the facility to June 2025. This facility provides liquidity through the sale or contribution of trade receivables by certain of our U.S. subsidiaries to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary on an ongoing basis and without recourse. We pay variable interest rates on our secured borrowings. Additional fees are incurred for the average daily unused commitments. This facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to $
200
million. At June 30, 2024, we had
no
borrowings or letters of credit outstanding and $
900
million unused availability under this facility.
Commercial Paper Program

Income Taxes
For interim tax reporting, we estimate an annual effective tax rate which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income. Tax effects of significant, unusual, or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. Our effective income tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates, changes in valuation allowances, changes in foreign exchange gains or losses, the amount of exempt income, changes in unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions and changes in tax laws.
Our exempt income primarily includes interest income, export incentives, and equity earnings of joint ventures. Interest income earned by certain of our subsidiaries through intercompany financings is taxed at rates substantially lower than the U.S. statutory rate. Export incentives relate to tax benefits derived from elections and structures available for U.S. exports. Equity earnings attributable to the earnings of our joint ventures, when paid through dividends to certain European subsidiaries, are exempt from all or portions of normal statutory income tax rates. We currently anticipate the favorable treatment for interest income, dividends, and export incentives to continue in the near term; however, this treatment is based on current law. The United Kingdom, as well as certain other jurisdictions in which we operate, enacted legislation implementing the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Pillar Two Model Rules effective as of January 1, 2024. We do not expect the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements to be material based on the legislation enacted at this stage.
18
Table of Contents
LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was
21.2
% compared to
20.8
% for the second quarter of 2023. The higher effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in exempt income of
4.1
% and the impact of changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates of
1.1
%. These increases were offset by a
4.8
% decrease in our effective income tax rate due to an audit settlement that occurred during the second quarter of 2023.
Our effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was
21.0
% compared to
22.9
% for the first six months of 2023. The lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was primarily due to the first quarter 2023 goodwill impairment, for which there was no tax benefit, of
2.8
%, an audit settlement during the second quarter 2023 of
2.4
%, and changes in foreign exchange gains or losses of
1.0
%. These decreases were partially offset by a
4.1
% increase in our effective income tax rate due to a decrease in exempt income.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
—We have various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and services incidental to the ordinary conduct of business, generally for quantities required for our businesses and at prevailing market prices. These commitments are designed to ensure sources of supply and are not expected to be in excess of normal requirements. Additionally, we have capital expenditure commitments, which we incur in our normal course of business.
Financial Assurance Instruments
—We have obtained letters of credit, performance and surety bonds and have issued financial and performance guarantees to support trade payables, potential liabilities and other obligations. Considering the frequency of claims made against the financial instruments we use to support our obligations, and the magnitude of those financial instruments in light of our current financial position, management does not expect that any claims against or draws on these instruments would have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We have not experienced any unmanageable difficulties in obtaining the required financial assurance instruments for our current operations.
Environmental Remediation
—Accrued liabilities for future environmental remediation costs at current and former plant sites and other remediation sites totaled $
142
million and $
124
million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the accrued liabilities for individual sites range from less than $
1
million to $
42
million. The remediation expenditures are expected to occur over a number of years and are not concentrated in any single year. In our opinion, it is reasonably possible that losses in excess of the liabilities recorded may have been incurred. However, we cannot estimate any amount or range of such possible additional losses. New information about sites, new technology or future developments, such as involvement in investigations by regulatory agencies, could require us to reassess our potential exposure related to environmental matters.
Indemnification
—We are parties to various indemnification arrangements, including arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions, divestitures and the formation and dissolution of joint ventures. Pursuant to these arrangements, we provide indemnification to and/or receive indemnification from other parties in connection with liabilities that may arise in connection with the transactions and in connection with activities prior to completion of the transactions. These indemnification arrangements typically include provisions pertaining to third-party claims relating to environmental and tax matters and various types of litigation. As of June 30, 2024, we had not accrued any significant amounts for our indemnification obligations, and we are not aware of other circumstances that would likely lead to significant future indemnification obligations. We cannot determine with certainty the potential amount of future payments under the indemnification arrangements until events arise that would trigger a liability under the arrangements.
As part of our technology licensing contracts, we give indemnifications to our licensees for liabilities arising from possible patent infringement claims with respect to certain proprietary licensed technologies. Such indemnifications have a stated maximum amount and generally cover a period of
5
to
10
years.
Legal Proceedings—
We are subject to various lawsuits and claims, including but not limited to, matters involving contract disputes, environmental damages, personal injury and property damage. We vigorously defend ourselves and prosecute these matters as appropriate.

Table of Contents
LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor legal proceedings in which we are a party. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial, mediation or other resolution. We regularly assess the adequacy of legal accruals based on our professional judgment, experience and the information available regarding our cases.
Based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against us will have a material adverse effect upon our operations, financial condition or Consolidated Financial Statements.

The timing and amount of these repurchases, which are determined based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors, may be executed from time to time through open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchased shares, which are recorded at cost, are classified as Treasury stock and may be retired or used for general corporate purposes, including for various employee benefit and compensation plans.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests
Our redeemable non-controlling interests relate to shares of cumulative perpetual special stock (“redeemable non-controlling interest stock”) issued by a consolidated subsidiary. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had
113,059
and
113,075
shares of redeemable non-controlling interest stock outstanding, respectively. These shares may be redeemed at any time at the discretion of the holders.
In February and May 2024, we paid cash dividends of $
15.00
per share to our redeemable non-controlling interest shareholders of record as of January 15, 2024 and April 15, 2024. These dividends totaled $
3
million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
11.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of certain stock option and other equity-based compensation awards. Our unvested restricted stock units contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are considered participating securities. We compute basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Our chief operating decision maker uses EBITDA as the primary measure for reviewing profitability of our segments, and therefore, we have presented EBITDA for all segments. We define EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
“Other” includes intersegment eliminations and items that are not directly related or allocated to business operations, such as foreign exchange gains or losses and components of pension and other postretirement benefit costs other than service costs. Sales between segments are made at prices approximating prevailing market prices.

Disposition of Ethylene Oxide & Derivatives (“EO&D”) Business—
In May 2024, we sold our U.S. Gulf Coast-based EO&D business along with the production facilities located in Bayport, TX. The EO&D business was included in our I&D segment. In connection with the sale, we received cash proceeds of $
700
million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $
293
million, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments.
Acquisition of Joint Venture—
In May 2024, we acquired a
35
% interest in Saudi Arabia-based National Petrochemical Industrial Company (“NATPET”) from Alujain Corporation for approximately $
500
million. The joint venture is enabled by our
Spheripol
polypropylene (“PP”) technology and positions us to expand our core PP business by gaining access to advantaged feedstocks. The joint venture has the capacity to produce
0.4
million tons of PP per year. We will market the majority of the off-take through our global sales team. The joint venture is included in our O&P-EAI segment and accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Total costs incurred since our decision to exit the refining business through June 30, 2024, were $

million. Our estimate of total exit costs, inclusive of costs incurred to date, ranges from $
560
million to $
1,000
million.
In subsequent periods, we expect to incur additional costs primarily consisting of accelerated amortization of operating lease assets of $
10
million to $
40
million, personnel costs of $
15
million to $
70
million and other charges of $
20
million to $
60
million.
In connection with the planned exit from the refinery business, we recorded liabilities for asset retirement obligations of $
264
million as of June 30, 2024. We estimate that the Houston refinery’s asset retirement obligations are in the range of $
150
million to $
450
million.

Segment Structure Changes and Related Goodwill Impairment—
Effective January 1, 2023, our
Catalloy
and polybutene-1 businesses were moved from our APS segment and reintegrated into our O&P-Americas and O&P-EAI segments. As a result of the reallocation of goodwill and the change in both fair value and carrying value among reporting units, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $
252
million in the first quarter of 2023 in our APS segment.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying notes elsewhere in this report. Unless otherwise indicated, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar words are used to refer to LyondellBasell Industries N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“LyondellBasell N.V.”).
OVERVIEW
Results for the second quarter of 2024 improved compared to the first quarter of 2024. Second quarter volumes benefited from increased production and improving seasonal demand. Our Olefins and Polyolefins-Americas (“O&P-Americas”) segment volumes increased while favorable ethane and natural gas costs continued to provide support for margins. Our Olefins and Polyolefins-Europe, Asia, International (“O&P-EAI”) segment benefited from polyethylene margin expansion with increased utilization of advantaged liquified petroleum gas (“LPG”) feedstocks in Europe. Our Intermediates & Derivatives (“I&D”) segment benefited from improved oxyfuels volumes driven by production from our newest propylene oxide/tertiary butyl alcohol (“PO/TBA”) plant in Houston, Texas. Intermediate chemical margins and volumes improved, largely due to higher production from our acetyls assets. Refining margins fell due to lower crack spreads.
Results for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 improved driven in part by the absence of a non-cash goodwill impairment recognized in our Advanced Polymer Solutions (“APS”) segment in the first quarter of 2023. Technology results improved as more contracts reached significant milestones. Results for our Refining segment decreased as margins declined. An increase in loss from equity investments drove the decrease in our O&P-EAI segment results. Our O&P-Americas segment results decreased as margins were compressed by higher monomer costs.
In May 2024, we divested our U.S. Gulf Coast-based Ethylene Oxide & Derivatives (“EO&D”) business for $700 million, while investing approximately $500 million to acquire a 35% interest in Saudi Arabia-based National Petrochemical Industrial Company (“NATPET”).
During the quarter, we announced a strategic review of some of our European assets to position the company for a more sustainable and circular future by strengthening profitability and competitive advantage in the region.
We remain committed to our balanced and disciplined capital allocation strategy. During the first six months of 2024 we generated $1,234 million in cash from operating activities, invested $967 million in capital expenditures and returned $921 million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
—Revenues increased by $633 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Higher volumes, driven by improved availability and demand, resulted in a 4% increase in revenues. Higher average sales prices for many of our products resulted in a 2% increase in revenues.
Revenues remained relatively unchanged in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. Higher volumes resulted in a 1% increase in revenues, which was partially offset by a 1% decrease in revenues due to lower average sales prices.
Cost of Sales
—Cost of sales increased by $385 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and by $179 million, or 1%, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily driven by higher feedstock and energy costs, including the impact of our commodity hedges.
Impairments
—During the first six months of 2023 we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $252 million in our APS segment after the effect of moving our
Catalloy
and polybutene-1 businesses from our APS segment and reintegrating them into our O&P-Americas and O&P-EAI segments.
SG&A Expenses
—Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $19 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and increased by $53 million, or 7%, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily attributable to changes in employee-related expenses.
Operating Income
—Operating income increased by $266 million, or 38%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Operating income in our I&D, O&P-Americas, O&P-EAI and APS segments increased by $180 million, $163 million, $41 million and $2 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in our Refining and Technology segments of $81 million and $37 million, respectively.
Operating income decreased by $50 million, or 3%, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. Operating income in our Refining, I&D, O&P-EAI and O&P-Americas segments decreased by $216 million, $77 million, $56 million and $20 million, respectively. The decreases were partially offset by increases in our APS and Technology segments of $266 million and $50 million, respectively.
Results for each of our business segments are discussed further in the “Segment Analysis” section below.
Gain on Sale of Business—
In the second quarter of 2024, we completed the sale of our EO&D business and associated production facilities located in Bayport, Texas and recognized a pre-tax gain of $293 million. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(Loss) Income from Equity Investments
—Loss from equity investments decreased by $8 million, or 30%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily driven by improved margins at our Asian joint ventures in our O&P-EAI segment.
Income from equity investments decreased by $51 million or 1020% in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. Approximately half of the decrease was driven by lower margins at our Mexico joint venture in our O&P-Americas segment. The remainder of the change is primarily driven by a one-time gain on sale of an asset recognized by one of our European joint ventures in our O&P-EAI segment in the first quarter of 2023.

Income Taxes
—Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 21.2% compared to 20.4% for the first quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, the impact of changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates and fluctuations in foreign exchange gains or losses increased our effective income tax rate by 2.0% and 0.9%, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the reduced relative impact of our tax rate drivers, primarily exempt income, due to increased earnings including the gain on the EO&D divestiture recognized in the second quarter of 2.1%.
Our effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was 21.0% compared to 22.9% for the first six months of 2023. The lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was primarily due to the first quarter 2023 goodwill impairment, for which there was no tax benefit, of 2.8%, an audit settlement during the second quarter 2023 of 2.4%, and changes in foreign exchange gains or losses of 1.0%. These decreases were partially offset by a 4.1% increase in our effective income tax rate due to a decrease in exempt income.
Comprehensive Income
—Comprehensive income increased by $516 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, and by $122 million in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily due to the increase in Net income. The components of Other comprehensive income (loss) are discussed below.
Financial derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, primarily our commodity swaps, led to an increase in Comprehensive income of $48 million and $43 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, respectively, reflecting commodity price volatility.
Defined pension and postretirement benefit plans remained relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023.
Foreign currency translations remained relatively unchanged in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Foreign currency translations decreased Comprehensive income by $132 million in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S dollar relative to the euro offset by the effective portion of our net investment hedges.

Segment Analysis
We use earnings from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as our measure of profitability for segment reporting purposes. This measure of segment operating results is used by our chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of and allocate resources to our operating segments. Intersegment eliminations and items that are not directly related or allocated to business operations, such as foreign exchange gains or losses and components of pension and other postretirement benefits other than service costs are included in “Other”. See the table below for a reconciliation of EBITDA to its nearest generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure.

Olefins and Polyolefins-Americas Segment
Overview
—EBITDA increased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to improved olefins results. EBITDA decreased in the first six months of 2024 relative to the first six months of 2023 driven by lower polymer margins.
Ethylene Raw Materials—
Ethylene and its co-products are produced from two major raw material groups:
•
natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), principally ethane and propane, the prices of which are generally affected by natural gas prices; and
•
crude oil-based liquids (“liquids” or “heavy liquids”), including naphtha, condensates and gas oils, the prices of which are generally related to crude oil prices.
We have flexibility to vary the raw material mix and process conditions in our U.S. olefins plants in order to maximize profitability as market prices fluctuate for both feedstocks and products. Although prices of crude-based liquids and natural gas liquids are generally related to crude oil and natural gas prices, during specific periods the relationships among these materials and benchmarks may vary significantly. In the second and first quarter of 2024, and the first six months of 2024 and 2023, approximately 70% to 80% of the raw materials used in our North American crackers was ethane.

Second quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2024
—Revenue increased by 5% as a result of higher ethylene average sales prices driven by an increase in demand. Lower co-product sales volumes driven by planned outages led to a 3% decrease in revenue.
First six months of 2024 versus first six months of 2023
—Higher average polypropylene sales prices resulted in a 5% increase in revenue.
EBITDA
—EBITDA increased by $149 million, or 29%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and decreased by $29 million, or 2%, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023.
Second quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2024
—Higher olefins results led to a 21% increase in EBITDA driven equally by higher volumes and margins resulting from the absence of planned and unplanned outages and higher ethylene prices, respectively. Higher polyolefins results led to a 7% increase in EBITDA primarily driven by an increase in margins due to increased polyethylene pricing despite higher ethylene costs and increased polypropylene spreads driven by lower propylene costs.

Table of Contents
First six months of 2024 versus first six months of 2023
—Lower polyolefins results led to a 6% decrease in EBITDA primarily driven by lower margins reflecting higher monomer costs. EBITDA decreased 2% due to lower income from equity investments reflecting lower polypropylene margins at our joint venture in Mexico. Higher olefins results led to a 9% increase in EBITDA primarily due to higher margins driven by higher average ethylene sales prices and lower feedstock and energy costs.
Olefins and Polyolefins-Europe, Asia, International Segment
Overview
—EBITDA increased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher olefins margins and improved results from our equity investments. EBITDA decreased in the first six months of 2024 relative to the first six months of 2023 primarily due to losses from equity investments.
Ethylene Raw Materials
—In Europe, naphtha is the primary raw material for our ethylene production and represented approximately 60% to 65% of the raw materials used in the second and first quarter of 2024, and in the first six months of 2024 and 2023.

Second quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of
2024—Higher olefins results led to a 264% increase in EBITDA primarily driven by higher margins as a result of higher ethylene prices and lower costs of ethylene production driven by an increased use of advantaged feedstocks. Improved results from our equity investments led to an increase in EBITDA of 100% mainly attributable to improved margins at our Asian joint ventures.
First six months of 2024 versus first six months of 2023
—Losses from our equity investments led to a decline in EBITDA of 19% primarily driven by the absence of a gain on sale of asset recognized by one of our joint ventures in Europe in the first quarter of 2023.

—Lower product prices led to a revenue decrease of 4% due to lower average sales prices reflecting lower margins on refined products. Sales volumes decreased resulting in a 1% decrease in revenue due to slightly lower operating rates.
EBITDA
—EBITDA decreased by $62 million, or 113%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and by $245 million, or 84%, in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023.
Second quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of
2024—Lower margins resulted in an EBITDA decrease of 178% in the second quarter of 2024 due to a decrease in the Maya 2-1-1 industry crack spread of approximately $4.57 per barrel to $29.13 per barrel and a decrease in byproduct margins partially offset by the impact of commodity hedges. Higher volumes, as a result of the absence of planned and unplanned downtime in the second quarter of 2024, resulted in a 76% increase in EBITDA.
First six months of 2024 versus first six months of 2023
—Lower margins resulted in a 114% decrease in EBITDA primarily due to a decrease in the Maya 2-1-1 industry crack spread of approximately $12.72 per barrel to $31.42 per barrel and lower by-product margins. A decrease in costs incurred related to our planned exit from the refining business in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 resulted in a 33% increase in EBITDA.

Operating Activities
—Cash
provided by
operating activities of
$1,234 million
in the first six months of 2024 primarily reflected earnings adjusted for non-cash items and cash used by the main components of working capital—Accounts receivable, Inventories, and Accounts payable.
In the first six months of 2024, the main components of working capital used $566 million of cash primarily driven by increases in Accounts receivable and Inventories partially offset by an increase in Accounts payable. The increase in Accounts receivable was primarily due to higher volumes sold coupled with timing of receipts. Our I&D and Refining segments built inventory to align with demand. The increase in Accounts payable was primarily driven by timing of payments and higher raw material costs for our Refining segment.
Cash
provided
by operating activities of $1,772 million in the first six months of 2023 primarily reflected earnings adjusted for non-cash items and cash used by the main components of working capital.
In the first six months of 2023, the main components of working capital used $605 million of cash driven primarily by increases in Inventories and Accounts receivable. The increase in Inventories was primarily due to inventory build associated with our PO/TBA plant as well as planned and unplanned outages. The increase in Accounts receivable was primarily driven by higher volumes and average sales prices in our O&P-EAI and I&D segments.
Investing Activities
—Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2024 totaled $967 million compared to $653 million in the first six months of 2023. During the first six months of 2024 and 2023, approximately 80% and 60% of the expenditures support sustaining maintenance, respectively, with the remaining expenditures supporting profit-generating growth projects. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2023 included spending for our PO/TBA plant. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding capital expenditures by segment.
In the second quarter of 2024 we sold our EO&D business for $700 million and invested approximately $500 million to acquire a 35% stake in the NATPET joint venture in Saudi Arabia. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Financing Activities
—We made dividend payments totaling $846 million and $797 million in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, we made payments of $75 million and $170 million to repurchase outstanding ordinary shares in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In February 2024, we issued $750 million of 5.5% guaranteed notes due 2034. In March 2024, we repaid the $775 million remaining of outstanding principal on our 5.75% senior notes due 2024.
In May 2023, we issued $500 million of 5.625% guaranteed notes due 2033. For additional detail regarding these debt transactions see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents
Through the repurchase and issuance of commercial paper instruments under our commercial paper program, we made net repayments of $200 million in the first six months of 2023.
In April 2024, foreign currency contracts with an aggregate notional value of €784 million expired. Upon settlement of these foreign currency contracts, which were designated as cash flow hedges, we paid €784 million ($835 million at the expiry spot rate) to our counterparties and received $849 million from our counterparties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We plan to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, dividends and other cash requirements with our current available liquidity and cash from operations, which could be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Debt repayment, and the purchase of shares under our share repurchase authorization, may be funded from cash and cash equivalents, cash from short-term investments, cash from operating activities, proceeds from the issuance of debt, or a combination thereof.
As part of our overall capital allocation strategy, we plan to provide returns to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. Barring any significant or unforeseen business challenges, mergers or acquisitions, over the long-term, we are targeting shareholder returns of 70% of free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We intend to continue to declare and pay quarterly dividends, with the goal of increasing the dividend over time, after giving consideration to our cash balances and expected results from operations. Our focus on funding our dividends while remaining committed to a strong investment grade balance sheet continues to be the foundation of our capital allocation strategy.
Cash and Liquid Investments
As of June 30, 2024, we had Cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,839 million, which includes $1,768 million in jurisdictions outside of the U.S., the majority of which is held within the European Union and the United Kingdom. There are currently no legal or economic restrictions that would materially impede our transfers of cash.
Credit Arrangements
At June 30, 2024, we had total debt, including current maturities, of $11,190 million. Additionally, we had $169 million of outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds issued under uncommitted credit facilities.
We had total unused availability under our credit facilities of $4,150 million at June 30, 2024, which included the following:
•
$3,250 million under our $3,250 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility, which backs our $2,500 million commercial paper program. Availability under this facility is net of outstanding borrowings, outstanding letters of credit provided under the facility and notes issued under our commercial paper program. At June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding commercial paper and no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under this facility; and
•
$900 million under our $900 million U.S. Receivables Facility. Availability under this facility is subject to a borrowing base of eligible receivables, which is reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, if any. At June 30, 2024, we had no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under this facility. In May 2024, we extended the term of the facility to June 2025 in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
At any time and from time to time, we may repay or redeem our outstanding debt, including purchases of our outstanding bonds in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or a combination thereof, in each case using cash and cash equivalents, cash from our short-term investments, cash from operating activities, proceeds from the issuance of debt or proceeds from asset divestitures. Any repayment or redemption of our debt will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. In connection with such repurchases or redemptions, we may incur cash and non-cash charges, which could be material in the period in which they are incurred.

Table of Contents
In July 2024, we amended our credit agreement to increase our senior unsecured revolving credit facility from $3,250 million to $3,750 million and extend the maturity to July 2029.
Share Repurchases
In May 2024, our shareholders approved a proposal to authorize us to repurchase up to 34.0 million ordinary shares, through November 24, 2025, which superseded any prior repurchase authorizations. Our share repurchase authorization does not have a stated dollar amount, and purchases may be made through open market purchases, private market transactions or other structured transactions. Repurchased shares could be retired or used for general corporate purposes, including for various employee benefit and compensation plans. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased is not necessarily an indication of the number of shares that will ultimately be purchased. In the first six months of 2024, we purchased approximately 0.8 million shares under our share repurchase authorizations for $75 million.
As of July 31, 2024, we had approximately 33.3 million shares remaining under the current authorization. The timing and amounts of additional shares repurchased, if any, will be determined based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors, including any additional authorizations approved by our shareholders. For additional information related to our share repurchase authorizations, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK
In the third quarter of 2024 we expect margins to continue to benefit from low costs for natural gas and natural gas liquids utilized in our North American and Middle East production relative to higher oil-based costs in other regions. With the summer driving season underway, oxyfuels margins are expected to remain above historical levels with high octane premiums. During the third quarter of 2024, we expect to operate our assets in line with market demand with average operating rates of 85% for our O&P-Americas assets, 80% for European O&P-EAI assets and 75% for I&D assets.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). You can identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and similar expressions.
We based forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections of our business and the industries in which we operate. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve assumptions about future events that, while made in good faith, may prove to be incorrect, and involve risks and uncertainties we cannot predict. Our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including the following:
•
the cost of raw materials represents a substantial portion of our operating expenses, and energy costs generally follow price trends of crude oil, natural gas liquids and/or natural gas; price volatility can significantly affect our results of operations and we may be unable to pass raw material and energy cost increases on to our customers due to the significant competition that we face, the commodity nature of our products and the time required to implement pricing changes;
•
our operations in the United States (“U.S.”) have benefited from low-cost natural gas and natural gas liquids; decreased availability of these materials (for example, from their export or regulations impacting hydraulic fracturing in the U.S.) could reduce the current benefits we receive;
•
if crude oil prices are low relative to U.S. natural gas prices, we could see less benefit from low-cost natural gas and natural gas liquids and it could have a negative effect on our results of operations;
•
industry production capacities and operating rates may lead to periods of oversupply and low profitability;
•
we may face unplanned operating interruptions (including leaks, explosions, fires, weather-related incidents, mechanical failures, unscheduled downtime, supplier disruptions, labor shortages, strikes, work stoppages or other labor difficulties, transportation interruptions, spills and releases and other environmental incidents) at any of our facilities, which would negatively impact our operating results;
•
changes in general economic, business, political and regulatory conditions in the countries or regions in which we operate could increase our costs, restrict our operations and reduce our operating results;
•
our ability to execute our organic growth plans may be negatively affected by our ability to complete projects on time and on budget;
•
the successful outcome of any strategic review of our assets, or our ability to acquire or dispose of product lines or businesses could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition;
•
uncertainties associated with worldwide economies could create reductions in demand and pricing, as well as increased counterparty risks, which could reduce liquidity or cause financial losses resulting from counterparty default;
•
the negative outcome of any legal, tax and environmental proceedings or changes in laws or regulations regarding legal, tax and environmental matters may increase our costs, reduce demand for our products, or otherwise limit our ability to achieve savings under current regulations;
•
any loss or non-renewal of favorable tax treatment under tax agreements or tax treaties, or changes in tax laws, regulations or treaties, may substantially increase our tax liabilities;
43
Table of Contents
•
we may be required to reduce production or idle certain facilities because of the cyclical and volatile nature of the supply-demand balance in the chemical and refining industries, which would negatively affect our operating results;
•
we rely on continuing technological innovation, and an inability to protect our technology, or others’ technological developments could negatively impact our competitive position;
•
we may be unable to continue operations until the shutdown of the Houston refinery within the expected timeframe or without incurring additional charges or expenses;
•
we have significant international operations, and fluctuations in exchange rates, valuations of currencies and our possible inability to access cash from operations in certain jurisdictions on a tax-efficient basis, if at all, could negatively affect our liquidity and our results of operations;
•
we are subject to the risks of doing business at a global level, including wars, terrorist activities, political and economic instability and disruptions and changes in governmental policies, which could cause increased expenses, decreased demand or prices for our products and/or disruptions in operations, all of which could reduce our operating results;
•
if we are unable to achieve our emission reduction, circularity, or other sustainability targets, it could result in reputational harm, changing investor sentiment regarding investment in our stock or a negative impact on our access to and cost of capital;
•
our ability to execute and achieve expected results of our value enhancement program;
•
if we are unable to comply with the terms of our credit facilities, indebtedness and other financing arrangements, those obligations could be accelerated, which we may not be able to repay; and
•
we may be unable to incur additional indebtedness or obtain financing on terms that we deem acceptable, including for refinancing of our current obligations; higher interest rates and costs of financing would increase our expenses.
Any of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. Our management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements or present or prior earnings levels.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section and any other cautionary statements that may accompany such forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements.
