Forward guidance
In the fourth quarter, the company expects seasonally softer demand across most businesses. Higher feedstock costs, new industry capacity and the slow pace of Chinese demand growth continue to pressure global olefins and polyolefins margins. Oxyfuels and refining margins are expected to decrease following the conclusion of the summer driving season.
Tailwinds
- Implementation of LyondellBasell's long-term strategy remains our top priority.
- One year after launching our Value Enhancement Program, we are highly confident we will exceed our 2023 recurring annual EBITDA exit run-rate target of $200 million.
- The three pillars of our strategy reinforce each other.
- By stepping up our performance and culture with a pivot toward value creation, LyondellBasell will be able to grow and upgrade our core while building a profitable Circular and Low Carbon Solutions business.
- Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our unique advantages to position LyondellBasell for a sustainable future
