LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE:LYB) Faces Financial Challenges Despite Strong Market Presence

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE:LYB) reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.88, missing the estimated $1.98.
The company’s revenue for the quarter was $10.32 billion, slightly below the expected $10.60 billion.
Despite the earnings miss, LYB’s sales performance was bolstered by higher polyethylene margins in North America.

LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE:LYB) is a leading global chemical company known for its production of plastics, chemicals, and refining products. The company operates in over 100 countries and is a major player in the petrochemical industry, competing with other industry giants like Dow Inc. and BASF. Despite its strong market presence, LYB’s recent financial performance has shown some challenges.

On November 1, 2024, LYB reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.88, missing the estimated $1.98. This shortfall is more pronounced when compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.03 per share. The company’s revenue for the quarter was $10.32 billion, slightly below the expected $10.60 billion. This represents a decrease from the $10.6 billion reported in the same quarter last year.

Despite the earnings miss, LYB’s sales performance was bolstered by higher polyethylene margins in North America. This improvement was driven by favorable ethane and natural gas costs, along with increased polyethylene prices. The company’s EBITDA for the quarter was $1.2 billion, down from $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023. LYB generated $670 million in cash from operating activities, returning $479 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

LYB’s net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $573 million, increasing to $617 million when excluding identified items. The company’s diluted EPS was $1.75, or $1.88 excluding identified items. LYB’s financial performance reflects adjustments for various identified items, including refinery exit costs and impairments. The company continues to focus on creating long-term value and advancing its sustainability goals.

In terms of sustainability, LYB has made significant progress by starting the construction of the MoReTec-1 catalytic advanced recycling facility in Germany and surpassing its 2030 renewable electricity target. The company’s financial metrics, such as a P/E ratio of 12.18 and a price-to-sales ratio of 0.68, indicate a relatively low market valuation compared to its revenue. LYB’s debt-to-equity ratio of 0.83 and current ratio of 2.10 suggest a moderate level of debt and a strong ability to cover short-term liabilities.
