LyondellBasell Industries (NYSE: LYB) today announced net income for the second quarter 2019 of $1.0 billion, or $2.70 per share. Second quarter 2019 EBITDA was $1.6 billion. Integration activities related to the acquisition of A. Schulman are on schedule and expected to generate approximately $100 million in forward annual run-rate synergies as of the close of the second quarter.
"LyondellBasell's leading business portfolio, strong operations and advantaged assets delivered value in the second quarter by serving global consumer-driven demand for our products. Increased seasonal demand and reduced feedstock costs improved ethylene chain margins for both of our Olefins & Polyolefins segments. In our Intermediates & Derivatives segment, robust seasonal margins increased profitability from our Oxyfuels & Related Products business. Despite our Houston refinery operating at 97% of nameplate capacity, low discounts for heavy sour crude oil in the U.S. Gulf Coast market continued to pressure the profitability of our Refining segment," said Bob Patel, LyondellBasell CEO.
"In the second quarter we continued to advance our value-driven growth strategy. Our disciplined approach to capital deployment remains unchanged. We executed on this strategy in the second quarter by raising our dividend, moving forward on our projects to sustain and grow our assets, ending discussions regarding the potential acquisition of Braskem and launching a substantial share repurchase while maintaining our strong investment grade credit rating. The tender offer demonstrates our confidence in the value of our company and the outlook for our business," Patel said.
OUTLOOK
"In July, we continue to see resilient demand for the majority of our products with consumer-based demand driving stable volumes for our Olefins & Polyolefins segments. In North America, the majority of the ethylene crackers and polyethylene plants planned to start between 2016 and 2019 has been commissioned and more than 70% of the polyethylene capacity is now operational. We expect low-cost natural gas liquid feedstocks will continue to drive strong chain margin in our Olefins & Polyolefins Americas segment as well as our Oxyfuels and Related Products business. Looking beyond the quarter, we look forward to the start-up of our Hyperzone HDPE plant during the second half of this year," Patel said.
LYONDELLBASELL BUSINESS RESULTS DISCUSSION BY REPORTING SEGMENT
LyondellBasell manages operations through six operating segments: 1) Olefins and Polyolefins - Americas; 2) Olefins and Polyolefins - Europe, Asia and International; 3) Intermediates and Derivatives; 4) Advanced Polymer Solutions; 5) Refining; and 6) Technology. Results for our Advanced Polymer Solutions segment incorporates the businesses acquired from A. Schulman beginning on August 21, 2018. Historical segment results for Olefins and Polyolefins - Americas and Olefins and Polyolefins - Europe, Asia and International prior to the acquisition were recast as a result of the shift of polypropylene compounds, Catalloy and polybutene-1 product lines to Advanced Polymer Solutions.
Olefins & Polyolefins - Americas (O&P-Americas) - Our O&P-Americas segment produces and markets Olefins & Co-products, polyethylene and polypropylene.

Compared with the prior period, olefins results increased more than $150 million. Ethylene margin improved primarily due to decreased feedstock costs and increased co-product prices.
