Operating income for the first half rose to $1,782 million from $399 million as margins improved across segments, supported by industry supply constraints linked to the conflict in the Middle East. This was partly offset by a $734 million pre-tax loss on the divestiture of select European olefins and polyolefins assets, which included a $310 million cash contribution at closing.
Cash generation improved significantly: cash provided by operating activities was $483 million in the first six months of 2026 versus a use of $228 million in 2025. The company spent $539 million on capital projects and paid $448 million in common dividends ($1.38 per share). Total debt including current maturities was $12,910 million with $4,450 million of unused committed credit capacity and no borrowings under its $3,750 million revolving credit facility.
LyondellBasell Industries N.V. reported second quarter 2026 sales and other operating revenues of $9,177 million, net income of $559 million and diluted EPS of $1.71. EBITDA was $1,252 million, or $2,127 million excluding identified items. Net income excluding identified items was $1,401 million, or $4.30 per diluted share.
Results reflected stronger margins across segments in supply‑constrained markets and high operating rates, especially in Olefins & Polyolefins–Americas, where EBITDA reached $1,183 million. The quarter included $842 million of identified items, net of tax, mainly a $734 million loss on sale from divestiture of select European assets and a $74 million impairment related to a plastic waste sorting facility.
LyondellBasell generated $752 million of cash from operating activities, spent $270 million on capital expenditures, paid $224 million in dividends and ended the quarter with $2,630 million in cash and cash equivalents and total liquidity of $7,090 million. Management highlighted completion of four European asset divestitures, ongoing execution of a Cash Improvement Plan targeting $500 million incremental cash by the end of 2026, and expects third quarter operating rates of 85% for North American O&P, 70% for European O&P and 85% for Intermediates & Derivatives amid continued geopolitical‑driven market volatility.
