LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE: LYB) today announced earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter 2016 of approximately $1.0 billion, or $2.31 per share. Third quarter 2016 EBITDA was $1.6 billion.
"Third quarter earnings were $2.31 per share; remaining on a 2016 annual pace that exceeds $9.00 per share. During the quarter and throughout the year, the strong contribution from our European olefins and polyolefins business has demonstrated the geographic balance within our portfolio. This has been particularly significant as our North American olefins and polyolefins business results have been impacted by a heavy planned maintenance schedule. Both regions experienced continued strong polyolefin demand. Within our refining business, operating disruptions impacted third quarter results," said Bob Patel, LyondellBasell's CEO.
OUTLOOK
"During October, global olefin and polyolefin industry conditions have remained favorable. We anticipate that the winter months will bring some typical seasonal slowing in select business lines. The fourth quarter marks the completion of a period of significant planned maintenance and associated downtime in our olefin and polyolefin assets. During 2017, our planned maintenance schedule is much lighter than 2016, and we will be positioned to benefit from our investment in system upgrades, reliability and expansions," Patel said.
LYONDELLBASELL BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT
LyondellBasell manages operations through five operating segments: 1) Olefins & Polyolefins – Americas; 2) Olefins & Polyolefins – Europe, Asia and International (EAI); 3) Intermediates & Derivatives; 4) Refining; and 5) Technology.
The following comments and analysis represent underlying business activity and are exclusive of LCM inventory adjustments.
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.

Olefins also benefitted from increased volume due to the absence of second quarter maintenance. Combined polyolefin results declined $25 million primarily due to lower polyethylene margins.

Results for PO and PO derivatives declined by approximately $15 million primarily due to declining margins. Intermediate chemicals results declined by approximately $60 million, primarily due to a styrene margin decline of approximately 3 cents per pound. Lower ethanol, ethylene oxide, and ethylene glycol results also contributed. Oxyfuels were relatively unchanged with sales volume increases offset by lower margins. Equity income from joint ventures was relatively unchanged.
Three months ended September 30, 2016 versus three months ended September 30, 2015 – EBITDA decreased $202 million versus the third quarter 2015, excluding a favorable $46 million quarter to quarter variance as a result of an LCM inventory adjustment.

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, 2015, 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.
INFORMATION RELATED TO FINANCIAL 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. The non-GAAP measures we have presented include income from continuing operations excluding LCM, diluted earnings per share excluding LCM, EBITDA and EBITDA excluding LCM. LCM stands for "lower of cost or market," which is an accounting rule consistent with GAAP related to the valuation of inventory. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory valuation methodology, which means that the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at the earliest acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may be higher than the market value, which results in us writing down the value of inventory to market value in accordance with the LCM rule, consistent with GAAP. This adjustment is related to our use of LIFO accounting and the recent decline in pricing for many of our raw material and finished goods inventories. 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 and earnings and EBITDA excluding LCM, 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. 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 an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of our liquidity. We have also presented financial information herein exclusive of adjustments for LCM.
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
