Rhea AI LYB FY2025 2026-10-03

LyondellBasell's 2025 figures show a cyclical business where weaker margins leave reinvestment and distributions competing for cash.

From FY2023 to FY2025, revenue fell while operating margin moved from 8.2% to -1.4%, showing that margin deterioration was not merely lower volume: less profit was extracted from each sale. In FY2025, operating cash flow of $2.3B exceeded the net loss of $738M, indicating the accounting loss did not equal a cash loss; capital spending then consumed most of that operating cash.

The financing cushion narrowed: debt-to-equity rose from 0.8x in FY2023 to 1.2x in FY2025 as equity fell, while the current ratio stayed near 1.8x. Short-term coverage remained stable, but the capital structure became more leveraged, leaving less equity beneath the debt.

Dividends of $1.8B exceeded free cash flow of $384M in FY2025, so distributions were not funded by that year's post-investment cash generation. SG&A stayed near $1.6B as sales contracted, making the cost base harder to absorb when gross margin compressed.

Financial Health Score 33/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of LyondellBasell Industries N.V.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. has an operating margin of -1.4%, meaning the company loses $1 on every $100 of revenue. This results in a profitability score of 42/100. This is down from 5.7% the prior year.

Growth

LyondellBasell Industries N.V.'s revenue declined 9.7% year-over-year, from $33.4B to $30.2B. This contraction results in a growth score of 16/100.

Leverage

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.20), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 6/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

LyondellBasell Industries N.V.'s current ratio of 1.77 indicates adequate short-term liquidity, earning a score of 52/100. The company can meet its near-term obligations, though with limited headroom.

Cash Flow

While LyondellBasell Industries N.V. generated $2.3B in operating cash flow, capex of $1.9B consumed most of it, leaving $384.0M in free cash flow. This results in a low score of 43/100, reflecting heavy capital investment rather than weak cash generation.

Returns

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. posts a -7.3% return on equity (ROE), meaning it loses $7 for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This results in a returns score of 41/100. This is down from 11.0% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.78

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. scores 1.78, below the 1.81 distress threshold. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.

Piotroski F-Score Weak

3/9

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. passes 3 of 9 financial strength tests. 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Mixed

N/A

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. reported a net loss of $738.0M while generating $2.3B in operating cash flow. Operations generated cash despite the loss, but with no positive earnings behind it, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Interest Coverage At Risk

N/A

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. reported an operating loss of $420.0M against $487.0M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.
