 "We had record earnings this quarter of        $2.22 per share, while our EBITDA approached $2 billion. Importantly,        every segment contributed to this achievement. Of particular note was        the strength in our Olefins and Polyolefins- Americas segment which        generated nearly $1 billion of EBITDA even while we were performing        significant scheduled maintenance at our La Porte ethylene site. In        addition to the strong quarterly earnings, we repurchased approximately        19 million of our shares during the second quarter, completing the        initial 10 percent share repurchase authorization. We also initiated        repurchases under the second 10 percent authorization," said Jim        Gallogly, LyondellBasell Chief Executive Officer.
 
 "As encouraging        as these results are, we did not fully deliver on our reliability        expectations, and the quarterly earnings could have been better.        Specifically, we were late in completing our La Porte ethylene        turnaround in part due to a mechanical issue with a compressor. Both        supplier upsets and mechanical issues impacted our Intermediates and        Derivatives business as well. Despite these temporary setbacks, our        commitment to Operational Excellence continues to be the foundation of        our success," Gallogly said.
 
 "Industry fundamentals remain        strong, and we continue to execute on our investment program. During the        third quarter we expect to begin production from the 800 million pound        per year La Porte ethylene expansion. This is the first of three        ethylene expansions and continues to put us well ahead of new greenfield        plants pursued by others in the industry," Gallogly added.
 
 OUTLOOK
 
 "During        the first weeks of the third quarter, industry conditions have been        similar to the second quarter environment. U.S. oil, natural gas, and        natural gas liquids production remain strong. Together these support        margins in our Olefins and Polyolefins -- Americas, Intermediates and        Derivatives, and Refining segments. However, our results in the next        quarter will be negatively impacted by the delayed start-up of our La        Porte ethylene plant," Gallogly noted.
 
 LYONDELLBASELL        BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT
 
 LyondellBasell        manages operations through five operating segments: 1) Olefins and        Polyolefins -- Americas; 2) Olefins and Polyolefins -- Europe, Asia and        International (EAI); 3) Intermediates and Derivatives; 4) Refining; and        5) Technology.
 
 Olefins and 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.
 
 Table 2 -        O&P--Americas Financial Overview        ------------------------------------------------------ -------- --------        Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ----------------------------- June        30, March 31, June 30, June 30, ------------------ Millions of U.S.        dollars 2014 2014 2013 2014 2013 ----------------------- --------        --------- -------- -------- -------- Operating income $898 $656 $872        $1,554 $1,693 ----------------------- -------- --------- --------        -------- -------- EBITDA 978 736 951 1,714 1,849 -----------------------        -------- --------- -------- -------- --------
 
 Three months ended        June 30, 2014 versus three months ended March 31, 2014 -- The segment        achieved record EBITDA results in the second quarter of 2014. EBITDA        increased $242 million versus the first quarter 2014. Compared to the        prior period, olefins results increased approximately $220 million. The        first quarter was negatively impacted by ethylene purchases and        inventory build in preparation for the second quarter La Porte plant        turnaround. The second quarter was also negatively impacted, but to a        lesser extent, by the delayed restart of the La Porte olefin plant and        the subsequent purchase of ethylene. This impacted results by        approximately $50 million. Olefins benefited in the second quarter from        lower NGL costs and improved co-product values. Combined polyolefin        results increased by approximately $20 million from the first quarter        2014 driven by higher polyethylene margins. The ethylene to polyethylene        price spread increased 2 cents per pound. Joint venture equity income        increased by $2 million.
 
 Three months ended June 30, 2014 versus        three months ended June 30, 2013 -- EBITDA increased $27 million versus        the second quarter 2013. Olefins results declined approximately $130        million compared to the prior year period. Olefins sales and production        volumes declined. However, margins benefited from lower NGL costs and        higher co-product values. The price of ethylene decreased by        approximately 2 cents per pound compared to the prior year period.        Polyethylene results increased by approximately $150 million as the        ethylene to polyethylene price spread improved by 10 cents per pound and        sales volumes increased approximately 4 percent versus the prior year        period. Polypropylene results increased by approximately $15 million due        to slightly higher margins. Joint venture equity income decreased by $2        million.
 
 Olefins and Polyolefins - Europe, Asia, International        (O&P-EAI) -- 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.
 
 Table 3 - O&P--EAI Financial Overview        ------------------------------------------------------ -------- --------        Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ----------------------------- June        30, March 31, June 30, June 30, ------------------ Millions of U.S.        dollars 2014 2014 2013 2014 2013 ----------------------- --------        --------- -------- -------- -------- Operating income $190 $225 $189        $415 $282 ----------------------- -------- --------- -------- --------        -------- EBITDA 319 356 295 675 520 ----------------------- --------        --------- -------- -------- --------
 
 Three months        ended June 30, 2014 versus three months ended March 31, 2014 -- EBITDA        decreased $37 million versus the first quarter 2014. Excluding the        benefits of a $52 million environmental settlement in the first quarter,        EBITDA increased by $15 million. Olefins results increased modestly.        Naphtha cost increases and a decline in the price of ethylene of        approximately 2 cents per pound were more than offset by increased        co-product prices and from cracking more advantaged feedstocks.        Approximately 55 percent of our ethylene production was sourced from        advantaged raw materials. Combined polyolefin results increased from        higher volumes. Combined polypropylene compounds and polybutene-1        results were unchanged. Equity income from joint ventures increased by        $9 million from the first quarter 2014.
 
 Three months ended June        30, 2014 versus three months ended June 30, 2013 -- EBITDA increased $24        million versus the second quarter 2013. Olefins results declined by        approximately $20 million as a result of margins that were lower by        approximately 3 cents per pound. This was partially mitigated by higher        operating rates and from higher butadiene volumes following a 2013        expansion project. Combined polyolefin results increased primarily as a        result of higher polyethylene and polypropylene margins of approximately        1 cent per pound. Polypropylene compounds and polybutene-1 results        decreased by approximately $10 million from the prior year period as a        result of lower polypropylene compound margins. Equity income from joint        ventures increased $32 million from the second quarter 2013.
 
 Intermediates        and Derivatives (I&D) -- 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 June 30, 2014 versus three months ended March 31, 2014 --        EBITDA increased $55 million versus the first quarter 2014. Results for        PO and PO derivatives decreased by approximately $20 million. Seasonally        lower sales of propylene glycol sold into aircraft deicing were offset        by higher sales of propylene oxide. Solvent margins declined.        Intermediate chemicals results increased by approximately $10 million as        styrene and ethylene glycol volumes improved. Additionally, acetic acid,        vinyl acetate, and styrene margins improved but lower margins from        methanol and ethylene glycol pricing partially offset the benefit.        Oxyfuels results improved by approximately $70 million due to seasonal        increases in both volume and margin. Equity income from joint ventures        decreased by $4 million.
 
 Three months ended June 30, 2014 versus        three months ended June 30, 2013 -- EBITDA increased $92 million        compared to the second quarter 2013. Results for PO and PO derivatives        increased by approximately $25 million primarily due to higher volumes.        Intermediate chemicals results were higher by approximately $60 million        due to higher methanol and styrene volumes, and higher methanol and        vinyl acetate margins. Oxyfuels results increased by approximately $10        million. Equity income from joint ventures decreased by $5 million from        the second quarter in 2013.
 
 Refining -- The primary products of        this segment include gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, jet fuel, and        petrochemical raw materials.

 Three months ended June 30, 2014        versus three months ended March 31, 2014 -- EBITDA increased $8 million        versus the first quarter 2014. The refinery processed 257,000 barrels        per day, up 10,000 barrels per day from the prior quarter. Compared to        the prior quarter, the Maya 2-1-1 benchmark crack spread declined by        $1.25 per barrel, averaging $27.01 per barrel. The corresponding Houston        refinery spread was relatively unchanged. The cost of Renewable        Identification Numbers (RINs) to meet U.S. renewable fuel standards was        relatively unchanged versus the first quarter 2014.
 
 Three months        ended June 30, 2014 versus three months ended June 30, 2013 -- EBITDA        increased $117 million versus the second quarter 2013. The refinery        processed 257,000 barrels per day, down 8,000 barrels per day from the        prior year period. Compared to the second quarter 2013, the Maya 2-1-1        benchmark spread increased $5.43 per barrel, and we benefited from        improved yields and higher margins on secondary products. The cost of        RINs decreased by approximately $20 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.

 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.
