LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    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. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. 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.
2.    Accounting and Reporting Changes
Recently Adopted Guidance
There were no new Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) adopted in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that had a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of March 31, 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.

The EO&D business had been identified as a non-core business within our Intermediates and Derivatives segment.

Long-Term Debt
Senior Revolving Credit Facility—Our $3,250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolving Credit Facility”), which expires in November 2026, 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 March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding and $3,250 million of unused availability under this facility.
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

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.
Short-Term Debt
U.S. Receivables Facility—Our U.S. Receivables Facility, which expires in June 2024, has a purchase limit of $900 million in addition to a $300 million uncommitted accordion feature. 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.

9.    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 be material based on the legislation enacted at this stage.
Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 20.4% compared to 26.0% for the first quarter of 2023. The lower effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the first quarter 2023 goodwill impairment, for which there was no tax benefit, of 6.6% coupled with a 2.1% decrease in our effective income tax rate related to changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates. These decreases were partially offset by a 3.0% increase in our effective income tax rate due to a decrease in exempt income.
10.    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 $141 million and $124 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, the accrued liabilities for individual sites range from less than $1 million to $43 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.

LYONDELLBASELL INDUSTRIES N.V.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

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 March 31, 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.
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.

13.    Segment and Related Information
Our operations are managed by senior executives who report to our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker. Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and our Chief Executive Officer uses the operating results of each of the operating segments for performance evaluation and resource allocation.
The activities of each of our segments from which they earn revenues and incur expenses are described below: 
•Olefins and Polyolefins-Americas (“O&P-Americas”). Our O&P-Americas segment produces and markets olefins and co-products, polyethylene and polypropylene.
•Olefins and Polyolefins-Europe, Asia, International (“O&P-EAI”). Our O&P-EAI segment produces and markets olefins and co-products, polyethylene and polypropylene.
•Intermediates and Derivatives (“I&D”). Our I&D segment produces and markets propylene oxide and its derivatives; oxyfuels and related products; and intermediate chemicals such as styrene monomer, acetyls, ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol.
•Advanced Polymer Solutions (“APS”). Our APS segment produces and markets compounding and solutions, such as polypropylene compounds, engineered plastics, masterbatches, engineered composites, colors and powders.
•Refining. Our Refining segment refines heavy, high-sulfur crude oils and other crude oils of varied types and sources available on the U.S. Gulf Coast into refined products, including gasoline and distillates.
•Technology. Our Technology segment develops and licenses chemical and polyolefin process technologies and manufactures and sells polyolefin catalysts.
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.

Refinery exit costs $ 36  $ 124  $ 557 
Total costs incurred since our decision to exit the refining business through March 31, 2024, were $557 million. Our estimate of total exit costs, inclusive of costs incurred to date, ranges from $560 million to $1,050 million.
In subsequent periods, we expect to incur additional costs primarily consisting of accelerated amortization of operating lease assets of $10 million to $50 million, personnel costs of $15 million to $90 million and other charges of $40 million to $90 million.
In connection with the planned exit from the refinery business, we recorded liabilities for asset retirement obligations of $262 million as of March 31, 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
In North America, lower costs for natural gas-based feedstocks and energy benefited olefins and polyolefins margins while regional demand for polyethylene improved. Our North American volumes were constrained by downtime in olefins, polyolefins, propylene oxide, oxyfuels and acetyls. In Europe, logistics disruptions in the Red Sea restricted competitive imports and led to increased volumes from our local assets for both our Olefins & Polyolefins Europe, Asia, International and Intermediates & Derivatives segments. Globally, tepid demand for durable goods continued to challenge volumes and margins for polypropylene and propylene oxide.
We remain committed to our balanced and disciplined capital allocation strategy. During the first quarter of 2024 we used $114 million of cash for operating activities, invested $483 million in capital expenditures and returned $408 million to shareholders through dividend payments. The use of cash for operating activities during the quarter was due to a build in working capital primarily driven by higher volumes and prices in most of our segments. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2024, we successfully issued $750 million of guaranteed notes to refinance our 2024 maturity at a lower rate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues—Revenues remained relatively unchanged in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Lower volumes driven by planned and unplanned outages resulted in a 3% decrease in revenues, which was partially offset by a 3% increase in revenues due to higher average sales prices.
Revenues decreased by $322 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Lower average sales prices for many of our products resulted in a 7% decrease in revenues. Higher volumes, driven by improved demand, resulted in a 3% increase in revenues. Favorable foreign exchange impacts resulted in a 1% increase in revenues.
Cost of Sales—Cost of sales decreased by $177 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and by $101 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by lower feedstock and energy costs, including the impact of our commodity hedges.
Impairments—During the fourth quarter of 2023 we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $241 million, primarily consisting of a non-cash impairment charge of $192 million related to our European PO Joint Venture in our I&D segment.
During the first quarter 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 into our O&P-Americas and O&P-EAI segments.
Operating Income—Operating income increased by $389 million, or 123%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Operating income in our I&D, O&P-EAI, Technology, Refining and APS segments increased by $242 million, $129 million, $40 million, $37 million and $30 million, respectively. These increases were offset by a decrease in our O&P-Americas segment of $88 million.
Operating income remained relatively unchanged in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Operating income in our APS and Technology segments increased by $260 million and $48 million, respectively. These increases were offset by decreases in our Refining, I&D, O&P-EAI and O&P-Americas segments of $162 million, $108 million, $32 million and $15 million, respectively.
Results for each of our business segments are discussed further in the “Segment Analysis” section below.
Income Taxes—Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 20.4% compared to -3.9% for the fourth quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the impact of impairments and a patent box ruling decreased our effective income tax rate by 15.1% and 7.0%, respectively. These movements were coupled with an increase in our effective income tax rate of 10.3% related to changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates partially offset by fluctuations in foreign exchange gains or losses of 5.9%.
Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 20.4% compared to 26.0% for the first quarter of 2023. The lower effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the first quarter 2023 goodwill impairment, for which there was no tax benefit, of 6.6%, coupled with a 2.1% decrease in our effective income tax rate related to changes in pre-tax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates. These decreases were partially offset by a 3.0% increase in our effective income tax rate due to a decrease in exempt income.

29

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income increased by $308 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to the increase in Net income. Comprehensive income decreased by $122 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to the net unfavorable impacts of unrealized changes in foreign currency translation adjustments. 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 $105 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 reflecting commodity pricing volatility. Financial derivatives designated as cash flow hedges remained relatively unchanged in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Defined pension and postretirement benefit plans led to an increase of Comprehensive income of $106 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, as the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected annual changes in actuarial assumptions. Defined pension and postretirement benefit plans remained relatively unchanged in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Foreign currency translations decreased Comprehensive income by $191 million and $119 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth and first quarter of 2023, respectively, 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 decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to the absence of a LIFO inventory valuation benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023. EBITDA decreased in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the first quarter of 2023 driven by lower income from equity investments and decreased 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. Ethane represented approximately 75% of the raw materials used in our North American crackers during the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 and, approximately 65% in the first quarter of 2023.
The following table sets forth selected financial information for the O&P-Americas segment including Income from equity investments, which is a component of EBITDA:

Revenue—Revenues for our O&P-Americas segment remained relatively unchanged in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and increased by $63 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—Revenue increased by 8% as a result of higher polymer average sales prices driven by supply disruptions caused by unusually cold temperatures in the Gulf Coast. Lower sales volume driven by planned and unplanned outages led to an 8% decrease in revenue.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Higher co-product and polyethylene volumes resulted in a 3% increase in revenue primarily driven by increased demand. Lower average polymer sales prices resulted in a 1% decrease in revenue.
EBITDA—EBITDA decreased by $83 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and by $20 million, or 4%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—During the fourth quarter of 2023 we recognized a $73 million LIFO inventory benefit. The absence of a similar benefit in the first quarter of 2024 resulted in a 12% decrease in EBITDA. Lower olefin results led to an 8% decrease in EBITDA due to lower volumes from planned and unplanned outages. Higher polymer results led to a 5% increase in EBITDA primarily driven by an increase in polyethylene margins due to higher average sales prices and lower ethylene costs.

33

First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Lower income from equity investments led to a 2% decrease in EBITDA mainly attributable to lower polypropylene margins at our joint venture in Mexico. Lower polymer results led to a 2% decrease in EBITDA primarily driven by lower margins.
Olefins and Polyolefins-Europe, Asia, International Segment
Overview—EBITDA increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, due to higher volumes and margins across most businesses. EBITDA decreased in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in income from equity investments and lower polymer margins.
Ethylene Raw Materials—In Europe, naphtha is the primary raw material for our ethylene production and represented approximately 65% to 70% of the raw materials used in the first quarter of 2024, and the fourth and first quarters of 2023.
The following table sets forth selected financial information for the O&P-EAI segment including (Loss) income from equity investments, which is a component of EBITDA:

Revenue—Revenues increased by $333 million, or 14%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and decreased by $147 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—Higher volumes resulted in a revenue increase of 11% primarily due to an increase in demand. Higher average sales prices resulted in a 2% increase in revenue reflecting increased demand from the impacts of the Red Sea logistics disruption which restricted competitive imports and increased restocking activities. Favorable foreign exchange impacts resulted in a revenue increase of 1%.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Lower average sales prices and volumes resulted in a decrease of 6% and 1%, respectively, due to lower demand. Favorable foreign exchange impacts resulted in a revenue increase of 2%.

EBITDA—EBITDA increased by $139 million, or 111%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and decreased by $63 million, or 82%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—During the fourth quarter of 2023 we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $38 million. The absence of a similar charge in the first quarter of 2024 resulted in a 30% increase in EBITDA. First quarter 2024 logistic disruptions in the Red Sea resulted in higher demand for our products. This drove a 54% increase in EBITDA in our polymer results and a 38% increase in olefins results primarily driven by higher volumes.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—A decrease in income from our equity investments led to a decline in EBITDA of 42% due to 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 polymer results led to a 27% decrease in EBITDA primarily driven by decreased margins resulting from lower product prices due to weak demand.

34

Intermediates and Derivatives Segment
Overview—During the fourth quarter of 2023 we recognized a non-cash impairment related to our European PO joint venture and LIFO inventory valuation charges. Similar charges were not recognized in the first quarter of 2024. EBITDA decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower results across most businesses.

First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—Sales volumes decreased due to unplanned downtime resulting in a 7% decrease in revenue. Higher average sales prices resulted in a 4% increase in revenue driven primarily by intermediate chemicals products resulting from tight market supply.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Lower average sales prices resulted in a 9% decrease in revenue driven by oxyfuels and related products as a result of lower gasoline premiums. Sales volumes increased resulting in a 4% increase in revenue due to additional PO/TBA capacity. Favorable foreign exchange impacts resulted in a revenue increase of 1%.
EBITDA—EBITDA increased by $239 million, or 327%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and decreased by $114 million, or 27%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge related to our equity investment in the European PO joint venture and LIFO inventory valuation charges of $192 million and $97 million, respectively. The absence of similar charges in the first quarter of 2024 resulted in an increase in EBITDA.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Intermediate chemicals results declined, resulting in a 10% decrease in EBITDA primarily driven by lower volumes from unplanned acetyls downtime. Propylene oxide and derivatives results drove a 9% decrease in EBITDA as lower demand pressured margins. Lower oxyfuels and related products results led to an EBITDA decrease of 3% driven primarily by lower margins due to lower blend premiums.

35

Advanced Polymer Solutions Segment
Overview—EBITDA increased in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher sales volumes. During the first quarter of 2023 we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $252 million, no similar charges were recognized during the first quarter of 2024.

First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—EBITDA increased primarily due to higher volumes as a result of seasonal demand.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—During the first quarter of 2023 we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $252 million 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. The absence of this impairment charge in the first quarter of 2024 was the primary driver for the improved EBITDA results.

36

Refining Segment
Overview—EBITDA increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the absence of a LIFO inventory valuation charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by a decrease in margins as the impact of commodity hedges more than offset improvement in Maya 2-1-1 margins. EBITDA decreased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower margins.

The following table sets forth selected financial information and heavy crude oil processing rates for the Refining segment and the U.S. refining market margins for the applicable periods. “Brent” is a light sweet crude oil and is one of the main benchmark prices for purchases of oil worldwide. “Maya” is a heavy sour crude oil grade produced in Mexico that is a relevant benchmark for heavy sour crude oils in the U.S. Gulf Coast market. References to industry benchmarks for refining market margins are to industry prices reported by Platts, a division of S&P Global.

Revenue—Revenues decreased by $310 million, or 13%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and by $100 million, or 5%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—Lower product prices led to a revenue decrease of 9% due to an average Brent crude oil price decrease of approximately $0.84 per barrel. Lower sales volumes due to planned and unplanned outages led to a 4% decline in revenue.
First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Lower product prices led to a revenue decrease of 8% due to lower average sales prices reflecting lower margins on refined products. Sales volumes were higher in the first quarter of 2024 as the first quarter of 2023 includes the effects of rebuilding inventory levels following the fourth quarter of 2022 unplanned downtime. This volume variance resulted in a 3% increase in revenue.
EBITDA—EBITDA increased by $45 million, or 450%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and decreased by $191 million, or 78%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.
First quarter of 2024 versus fourth quarter of 2023—During the fourth quarter of 2023 we recognized LIFO inventory charges of $42 million, no similar charges were recognized in the first quarter of 2024. Margin changes resulted in an EBITDA decrease of 60% in the first quarter of 2024. Despite an increase in the Maya 2-1-1 industry crack spread of approximately $7 per barrel to $34 per barrel in the first quarter, the mark-to-market impact of our commodity hedges offset this benefit. For additional information related to our financial instruments, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

37

First quarter of 2024 versus first quarter of 2023—Lower margins drove a 90% decrease in EBITDA primarily due to a decrease in the Maya 2-1-1 industry crack spread of approximately $15 per barrel driven by lower Maya crude differential resulting from a decrease in heavy crude supply. Lower volumes due to planned and unplanned downtime resulted in a 9% decrease in EBITDA. A decrease in costs incurred related to our planned exit from the refining business in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 resulted in a 22% increase in EBITDA.
Technology Segment
Overview—EBITDA increased in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024 relative to the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to licensing results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Operating, investing and financing activities of continuing operations, which are discussed below, are presented in the following table:
  Three Months Ended
March 31,
Millions of dollars 2024 2023
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ (114) $ 482 
Investing activities (510) (371)
Financing activities (412) (477)
Operating Activities—Cash used in operating activities of $114 million in the first quarter 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 quarter of 2024, the main components of working capital used $629 million of cash primarily driven by increases in Accounts receivable due to higher volumes and prices across most of our segments.
Cash provided by operating activities of $482 million in the first quarter of 2023 primarily reflected earnings adjusted for non-cash items and cash used by the main components of working capital.
In the first quarter of 2023, the main components of working capital used $558 million of cash driven primarily by increases in Accounts receivable and Inventories. The increase in Accounts receivable was primarily driven by higher volumes and average sales prices in our O&P-EAI, I&D and APS segments. The increase in Inventories was primarily due to inventory build associated with the timing of the start-up of our PO/TBA plant in Houston, TX as well as planned and unplanned outages.
Investing Activities—Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $483 million compared to $352 million in the first quarter of 2023. During the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, approximately 80% and 55% of the expenditures support sustaining maintenance, respectively, with the remaining expenditures supporting profit-generating growth projects. Capital expenditures in first quarter of 2023 included spending for our PO/TBA plant.
Financing Activities—We made dividend payments totaling $408 million and $389 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had no share repurchases in the first quarter of 2024 and we made payments of $70 million to repurchase outstanding ordinary shares in the first quarter of 2023.
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. For additional detail see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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.

39

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 March 31, 2024, we had Cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,314 million, which includes $1,524 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 March 31, 2024, we had total debt, including current maturities, of $11,194 million. Additionally, we had $143 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under this facility.
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.
Share Repurchases
In May 2023, our shareholders approved a proposal to authorize us to repurchase up to 34.0 million ordinary shares, through November 19, 2024, 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. There were no share repurchases during the first quarter of 2024.
As of April 24, 2024, we had approximately 33.1 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 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK
In the second quarter of 2024, we expect seasonal demand improvements across most of our segments. Low costs for natural gas and NGLs should continue to benefit margins for our North American and Middle East production relative to higher oil-based costs in most other regions. With the start of the summer driving season, oxyfuels and refining margins are expected to increase with higher gasoline crack spreads and lower butane costs. During the second 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 and O&P-EAI segments and 80% for our Intermediates & Derivatives segment. We continue to monitor targeted stimulus efforts and remain watchful for demand improvements in China.

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;
•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;

42

•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.

Our exposure to market and regulatory risks is described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our exposure to such risks has not changed materially in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
