CLAYTON, Mo., Oct. 27, 2025

Highlights

Third quarter 2025 net income of $42.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share
Quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $222.4 million

CLAYTON, Mo., Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Third quarter 2025 reported net income was $42.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, which compares to third quarter 2024 reported net loss of ($24.9) million, or ($0.21) per diluted share. Third quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $222.4 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $133.8 million, restructuring charges of $2.9 million, and environmental insurance recoveries of $1.0 million. Third quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA included a $32.0 million pretax benefit primarily related to the clean hydrogen production tax credit under Section 45V as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Third quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA was $160.3 million, which included $109.4 million of additional costs, unabsorbed fixed manufacturing costs, and reduced profit from lost sales associated with Hurricane Beryl. Sales in the third quarter 2025 were $1,713.2 million, compared to $1,589.5 million in the third quarter 2024.

Ken Lane, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the third quarter, Olin delivered on our sequentially higher earnings expectations, primarily driven by our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment. Although seasonal demand growth was limited within a persistently challenging market, Olin maintained its disciplined focus on preserving our Electrochemical Unit (ECU) values."

Lane continued, "In addition to ongoing, subdued global epoxy demand, headwinds persist from subsidized Asian material flowing into the United States and European epoxy markets. We continue to execute our strategy by capitalizing on our chlor alkali integration and expanding sales of our formulated solutions products.

"Our Winchester third quarter 2025 results fell short of expectations as commercial ammunition sales showed only slight seasonal improvement. Commercial retailers continue to have elevated inventories amid continued lower consumer sales. As expected, our defense business delivered sequentially improved results."

Commenting on Olin's outlook for the remainder of 2025, Lane continued, "The fourth quarter market environment is typically the weakest seasonal quarter for our businesses. As a result, we expect Olin's fourth quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $110 million to $130 million, which includes a $40 million penalty from planned inventory reductions, supporting our value-first commercial approach. We remain focused on our Optimize the Core strategic priorities: operating safely and reliably, progressing our Beyond250 structural cost reduction program, and maximizing cash generation. With the actions we are taking, we expect to end this year with net debt comparable with year-end 2024. Our Olin team continues to demonstrate the strength of our company in the face of a historically long industry trough."

SEGMENT REPORTING

Olin defines segment earnings as income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, other operating income (expense), non-operating pension income, other income, and income taxes, and includes the results of non-consolidated affiliates in segment results consistent with management's monitoring of the operating segments.

CHLOR ALKALI PRODUCTS AND VINYLS

Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls sales for the third quarter 2025 were $924.0 million, compared to $871.6 million in the third quarter 2024. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower pricing. Third quarter 2025 segment earnings were $127.6 million, compared to $45.3 million in the third quarter 2024. Third quarter 2025 segment earnings included a $32.0 million pretax benefit primarily related to the clean hydrogen production tax credit under Section 45V as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 resulting from the sale and use of hydrogen produced at certain of our chlor alkali plants. The third quarter 2024 segment earnings included $76.7 million in additional costs, unabsorbed fixed manufacturing costs, and reduced profit from lost sales associated with Hurricane Beryl. The remaining $26.4 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower ethylene dichloride (EDC) pricing, partially offset by higher caustic soda pricing and higher volumes, primarily EDC and caustic soda. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls third quarter 2025 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $109.0 million compared to $106.5 million in the third quarter 2024.

EPOXY

Epoxy sales for the third quarter 2025 were $349.6 million, compared to $285.1 million in the third quarter 2024. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher volumes, including the effect of lost sales from Hurricane Beryl in third quarter 2024. Third quarter 2025 segment loss was ($32.2) million, compared to segment loss of ($42.8) million in the third quarter 2024. The third quarter 2024 segment results included $32.7 million in additional costs, unabsorbed fixed manufacturing costs, and reduced profit from lost sales associated with Hurricane Beryl. The remaining $22.1 million decrease in segment results was due to higher operating costs, primarily from unabsorbed fixed costs incurred from planned inventory reductions, partially offset by improved volumes, as product margins were comparable year over year. Epoxy third quarter 2025 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $13.2 million compared to $13.7 million in the third quarter 2024.

WINCHESTER

Winchester sales for the third quarter 2025 were $439.6 million, compared to $432.8 million in the third quarter 2024. Sales were comparable as higher military sales and military project revenue were offset by lower commercial ammunition sales. Third quarter 2025 segment earnings were $19.3 million, compared to $53.4 million in the third quarter 2024. The $34.1 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower commercial ammunition pricing and shipments and higher raw material costs, including propellant and commodity metal costs. Winchester third quarter 2025 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $7.8 million compared to $8.5 million in the third quarter 2024.

CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS

Other corporate and unallocated costs in the third quarter of 2025 were comparable to the third quarter 2024 as higher incentive costs, including mark-to-market adjustments on stock-based compensation, were offset by a favorable impact from foreign currency.

LIQUIDITY AND SHARE REPURCHASES

The cash balance on September 30, 2025, was $140.3 million. Olin ended the third quarter 2025 with net debt of approximately $2.85 billion and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.7 times. On September 30, 2025, Olin had available liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion.

During third quarter 2025, approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock were repurchased at a cost of $10.1 million. On September 30, 2025, Olin had approximately $2.0 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Adjusted EBITDA (a)
Olin's definition of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net income (loss) plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization, interest expense (income), income tax provision (benefit), other expense (income), restructuring charges (income) and certain other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors as a supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis. The use of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to replace any measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are omitted from this release because Olin is unable to provide such reconciliations without the use of unreasonable efforts. This inability results from the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally and quantifying certain projected amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. In particular, sufficient information is not available to calculate certain adjustments required for such reconciliations, including interest expense (income), income tax provision (benefit), other expense (income) and restructuring charges (income). Because of our inability to calculate such adjustments, forward-looking net income guidance is also omitted from this release. We expect these adjustments to have a potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Olin Corporation
Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (a)
Olin's definition of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt at the end of any reporting period is defined as the sum of our current installments of long-term debt and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net income (loss) plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization, interest expense (income), income tax provision (benefit), other expense (income), restructuring charges (income) and certain other non-recurring items. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors as a measure of our ability to manage our indebtedness. The use of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to replace any measures of indebtedness or liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP and Net Debt or Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
