Cautionary Statement
2
The
statements
in
this
presentation
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.lyondellbasell.com on the Investor Relations
page and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
The illustrative results or returns of growth projects are not in any way intended to be, nor should they be taken as, indicators or
guarantees of performance. The assumptions on which they are based are not projections and do not necessarily represent the
Company’s expectations and future performance. You should not rely on illustrated results or returns or these assumptions as
being indicative of our future results or returns.
This presentation contains time sensitive information that is accurate only as of the date hereof.  Information contained in this

Information Related to Financial Measures
3
We have included EBITDA in this presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, as we believe that
EBITDA
is
a
measure
commonly
used
by
investors.
However,
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. See Table 8 of
our accompanying earnings release for reconciliations of EBITDA to net income.
While
we
also
believe
that
free
cash
flow
(FCF)
and
book
capital
are
measures
commonly
used
by
investors,
free
cash
flow
and
book
capital,
as
presented
herein,
may
not
be
comparable
to
similarly
titled
measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way the measures are calculated. For
purposes of this presentation, free cash flow means net cash provided by operating activities minus
capital
expenditures
and
book
capital
means
total
debt
plus
stockholders’
equity
plus
minority
interests.
