LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE: LYB) today announced net income for the third quarter 2018 of $1.1 billion, or $2.85 per share. Integration activities related to the acquisition of A. Schulman are on schedule and estimated to have generated $32 million in forward annual run-rate synergies. The quarter included $53 million of transaction and integration costs, which decreased earnings by $0.11 per share. Third quarter 2018 EBITDA was $1.7 billion.
"LyondellBasell's resilient global portfolio continued to deliver strong profitability, which generated third quarter EBITDA that exceeded last year's quarterly results in four segments. Our olefins and polyolefins business in the Americas achieved improvements in chain margins and volumes that overcame third quarter headwinds from rising feedstock costs and new supply to drive increased profitability for the segment. Robust global demand supported attractive margins and earnings for our Intermediates and Derivatives segment. In our Technology segment, increased licensing of LyondellBasell's polyolefins technologies generated EBITDA through the end of the third quarter that exceeded all previous full-year records while our focus on operational improvements at our refinery continued to yield meaningful results," said Bob Patel, LyondellBasell CEO.
"Our company surpassed significant milestones on our value-driven growth initiatives during the third quarter. In August, we completed the acquisition of A. Schulman, launched our new Advanced Polymer Solutions segment and advanced our organic growth program with the groundbreaking of our new propylene oxide plant," said Patel.
OUTLOOK
"LyondellBasell's feedstock flexibility and balanced portfolio of global businesses provides competitive advantage during these periods of increased volatility in energy, natural gas liquids pricing and global trade. We are well-positioned to capture value with expanded access to markets and increased synergies from the integration of A. Schulman and the formation of our new Advanced Polymer Solutions segment. During the fourth quarter, we will advance our U.S. growth projects and expect to drive further operational and business improvements in our Intermediates and Derivatives, Refining and Technology businesses," Patel said.
LYONDELLBASELL BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT
LyondellBasell manages operations through six operating segments: 1) Olefins and Polyolefins - Americas; 2) Olefins and Polyolefins - Europe, Asia and International; 3) Intermediates and Derivatives; 4) Advanced Polymer Solutions; 5) Refining; and 6) Technology. Third quarter results for our new Advanced Polymer Solutions segment represents a full quarter of results from the LyondellBasell polypropylene compounds, Catalloy and polybutene-1 businesses as well as results for the businesses acquired from A. Schulman beginning on August 21, 2018. Historical segment results for Olefins and Polyolefins - Americas and Olefins and Polyolefins - Europe, Asia and International were recast as a result of the shift of product lines to Advanced Polymer Solutions.

Compared with the prior period, olefins results increased by approximately $120 million. Ethylene margin improved as the ethylene price increased approximately 4 cents per pound. Polyethylene results declined approximately $80 million primarily due to a decrease of approximately 6 cents per pound in the polyethylene spread over ethylene.
Three months ended September 30, 2018 versus three months ended September 30, 2017 - EBITDA increased $113 million versus the third quarter 2017. Compared with the prior period, olefins results increased by approximately $30 million. Volume increased with the absence of third quarter 2017 Hurricane Harvey impacts partially offset by a decline in ethylene margin. Polyolefin results increased by approximately $100 million driven by spread improvements in polyethylene and polypropylene over monomer of approximately 6 cents per pound and 3 cents per pound, respectively. Joint venture equity income increased by $10 million.
