LyondellBasell Industries N.V. reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $125 million, down from $177 million a year earlier, as lower prices and volumes reduced profitability despite lower feedstock costs. Sales from continuing operations were $7,197 million, a 6% decline versus the prior-year quarter.
Income from continuing operations rose to $139 million from $23 million, helped by stronger margins in the Olefins & Polyolefins–Americas and Intermediates & Derivatives segments and the absence of prior-year shutdown and LIFO charges. Diluted earnings per share were $0.38, including a $(0.04) loss from discontinued operations tied to the refinery exit.
Operating cash flow was a $269 million use of cash, largely due to a $797 million increase in accounts receivable as prices rose, while capital expenditures totaled $269 million and common dividends paid were $224 million.
