Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) reported first quarter 2025 financial results with net income of $1.4 million ($0.01 per share), down significantly from $48.6 million ($0.40 per share) in Q1 2024. Quarterly adjusted EBITDA was $185.6 million, compared to $242.1 million in Q1 2024. Sales slightly increased to $1,644.2 million from $1,635.3 million year-over-year. The company's segments showed mixed performance: Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls saw higher volumes but lower pricing, Epoxy faced challenges from subsidized Asian competition, and Winchester experienced pressure from reduced consumer spending. Olin expects Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA between $170-210 million and projects cost savings of $50-70 million for the year. The company maintained a strong balance sheet with $174 million in cash and repurchased 0.7 million shares for $20.2 million during Q1.

Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) ha comunicato i risultati finanziari del primo trimestre 2025 con un utile netto di 1,4 milioni di dollari (0,01 dollari per azione), in calo significativo rispetto ai 48,6 milioni di dollari (0,40 dollari per azione) del primo trimestre 2024. L'EBITDA rettificato trimestrale è stato di 185,6 milioni di dollari, rispetto ai 242,1 milioni del primo trimestre 2024. Le vendite sono leggermente aumentate a 1.644,2 milioni di dollari dai 1.635,3 milioni dello stesso periodo dell'anno precedente. I segmenti aziendali hanno mostrato performance contrastanti: i prodotti cloro-alcali e vinili hanno registrato volumi maggiori ma prezzi più bassi, l'epossido ha affrontato difficoltà dovute alla concorrenza asiatica sovvenzionata, mentre Winchester ha subito pressioni a causa della riduzione della spesa dei consumatori. Olin prevede per il secondo trimestre 2025 un EBITDA rettificato compreso tra 170 e 210 milioni di dollari e stima risparmi sui costi tra 50 e 70 milioni per l'intero anno. L'azienda mantiene un bilancio solido con 174 milioni di dollari in contanti e ha riacquistato 0,7 milioni di azioni per un valore di 20,2 milioni di dollari durante il primo trimestre.

Olin Corporation(NYSE: OLN)는 2025년 1분기 재무 실적을 발표하며 순이익이 140만 달러(주당 0.01달러)로 2024년 1분기의 4,860만 달러(주당 0.40달러)에서 크게 감소했다고 밝혔습니다. 분기 조정 EBITDA는 1억 8,560만 달러로 2024년 1분기의 2억 4,210만 달러에 비해 감소했습니다. 매출은 전년 동기 대비 소폭 증가하여 16억 4,420만 달러를 기록했습니다. 회사의 사업 부문별 성과는 엇갈렸습니다: 염소알칼리 제품과 비닐은 판매량은 증가했으나 가격은 하락했고, 에폭시는 보조금을 받는 아시아 경쟁으로 어려움을 겪었으며, 윈체스터는 소비자 지출 감소로 압박을 받았습니다. Olin은 2025년 2분기 조정 EBITDA를 1억 7,000만~2억 1,000만 달러로 예상하며, 연간 비용 절감액을 5,000만~7,000만 달러로 전망합니다. 회사는 1억 7,400만 달러의 현금을 보유하며 1분기 동안 70만 주를 2,020만 달러에 자사주 매입했습니다.

Olin prévoit un EBITDA ajusté pour le deuxième trimestre 2025 compris entre 170 et 210 millions et anticipe des économies de coûts de 50 à 70 millions pour l'année.

Insights

Olin's Q1 2025 shows 97% net income collapse to $1.4M despite stable sales, with significant margin compression across segments.

Olin Corporation's Q1 2025 results reveal concerning financial deterioration with net income plummeting to just $1.4 million ($0.01 per share) from $48.6 million ($0.40 per share) in Q1 2024 – a dramatic 97% decline. This earnings collapse occurred despite a slight 0.5% year-over-year sales increase to $1.64 billion.

The adjusted EBITDA fell 23% to $185.6 million, indicating substantial margin compression. Cost of goods sold increased 4.7% despite flat revenue, suggesting significant input cost pressures. The segment breakdown reveals a complex picture:

  • Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls remained relatively stable with modest gains
  • Epoxy segment losses more than doubled to $28.4 million
  • Winchester ammunition profits collapsed 68% to $22.8 million despite only a 5% sales decline

The company's balance sheet shows a net debt of $2.9 billion and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.5x – potentially concerning given the earnings deterioration. Management has taken steps to enhance financial flexibility by extending debt maturities and refinancing $600 million in bonds.

Despite the earnings collapse, Olin maintained its $0.20 quarterly dividend and repurchased $20.2 million in shares. The company projects Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $170-$210 million, suggesting ongoing challenges with only marginal sequential improvement expected.

Olin faces segment divergence: stable chlor alkali amid supply constraints, deepening losses in epoxy from Asian competition, and ammunition margin collapse.

Olin's Q1 results illustrate the disparate conditions across chemical markets. The decision to delay maintenance turnarounds in the Chlor Alkali segment to support customers during tight supply conditions demonstrates strategic flexibility and customer focus. Management's reference to six quarters of stable ECU values suggests their disciplined volume approach is helping navigate what they describe as an "extended trough environment" in the chlor alkali sector.

The Epoxy business faces structural challenges beyond cyclical weakness. The segment's widening loss of $28.4 million (versus $11.8 million loss in Q1 2024) reflects intense pressure from what management explicitly calls "subsidized Asian competition." Their assertion that "antidumping initiatives have provided limited benefits" indicates regulatory remedies have been insufficient. The strategic pivot toward maximizing integration value with chlor alkali operations and growing formulated solutions addresses these competitive realities, but the transition remains challenging.

Winchester's performance deterioration is particularly striking. The 68% profit collapse on a 5% sales decline indicates severe margin compression. Management attributes this to "strains on consumer disposable income and customers continuing to work down elevated inventories." The seasonal improvement expected in Q2 will be bolstered by military sales rather than commercial recovery.

Management's increased cost-saving target of $50-70 million (up from previous guidance) and $25 million reduction in capital spending are appropriate defensive measures. Their statement that tariff impacts will be largely offset by opportunities suggests potential supply chain realignments that could benefit domestic production despite input cost pressures.

Highlights

  • First quarter 2025 net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share
  • Quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $185.6 million

CLAYTON, Mo., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. First quarter 2025 reported net income was $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, which compares to first quarter 2024 reported net income of $48.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. First quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $185.6 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $132.2 million and restructuring charges of $4.0 million. First quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA was $242.1 million. Sales in the first quarter 2025 were $1,644.2 million, compared to $1,635.3 million in the first quarter 2024.

Ken Lane, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the first quarter, our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls business realized higher chlorine demand than expected given spring maintenance and unplanned industry outages. As a result, we delayed our planned maintenance turnaround in favor of supporting under-supplied customers through a period of tight industry supply. We remain committed to our value-first commercial approach and view this as an encouraging proof point of our operating leverage, as demand recovers."

Lane continued, "Despite the uncertain economic environment, we remain focused on the things within our control. We now expect to deliver year-over-year cost savings of $50 to $70 million, an increase over our previous outlook. We have also lowered our annual capital spending estimate by approximately $25 million. In addition, to further enhance our strong investment grade balance sheet and increase our financial resilience, we extended the maturities of our senior bank credit agreement from 2027 to 2030. We issued $600 million of 2033 bonds, the proceeds of which were used to repay our 2025 and 2027 bonds.

"We expect the second quarter 2025 results from our Chemicals businesses to be similar to the first quarter 2025, despite the increased second quarter costs from the delayed first quarter planned maintenance turnaround. Our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls business expects performance to be supported by seasonal volume improvement and strengthening caustic soda values. Over the past six quarters, our chlor alkali business has delivered stable ECU values and volumes as we remain focused on disciplined execution through this extended trough environment.

"Global epoxy demand remains weak, and our U.S. and European Epoxy business continues to be significantly challenged by subsidized Asian competition, given antidumping initiatives have provided limited benefits. Our Epoxy business is focused on maximizing the chlor alkali integration value, continuing to reduce costs and growing the formulated solutions business.

"Winchester commercial sales remain pressured by strains on consumer disposable income and customers continuing to work down elevated inventories, with no indication of near-term relief. We expect second quarter 2025 Winchester results to improve sequentially as seasonal demand picks up and military sales and military project revenue improve.

"We expect the direct impact from current tariffs on Olin to not be significant, as headwinds are largely offset by the opportunities realized. Second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $170 million to $210 million. While there is increasing economic uncertainty, Olin remains committed to our value-first commercial approach and our disciplined capital allocation strategy as the pathway to long-term shareholder value creation," Lane concluded.

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.

CHLOR ALKALI PRODUCTS AND VINYLS

Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls sales for the first quarter 2025 were $924.5 million, compared to $884.6 million in the first quarter 2024. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher volumes. First quarter 2025 segment earnings were $78.3 million, compared to $76.6 million in the first quarter 2024. The $1.7 million increase in segment earnings was primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower pricing, primarily ethylene dichloride (EDC), and higher operating costs. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls first quarter 2025 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $107.2 million compared to $106.8 million in the first quarter 2024.

EPOXY

Epoxy sales for the first quarter 2025 were $331.7 million, compared to $341.3 million in the first quarter 2024. First quarter 2025 segment loss was ($28.4) million, compared to segment loss of ($11.8) million in the first quarter 2024. The $16.6 million decrease in segment results was primarily due to higher operating costs. Epoxy first quarter 2025 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $12.8 million compared to $13.5 million in the first quarter 2024.

WINCHESTER

Winchester sales for the first quarter 2025 were $388.0 million, compared to $409.4 million in the first quarter 2024. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower commercial ammunition sales, partially offset by higher military sales and military project revenue. First quarter 2025 segment earnings were $22.8 million, compared to $72.2 million in the first quarter 2024. The $49.4 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower commercial ammunition shipments and pricing and higher raw material costs, including propellant and commodity metal costs, partially offset by higher military shipments and military project revenue. Winchester first quarter 2025 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $9.5 million compared to $7.9 million in the first quarter 2024.

CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS

Other corporate and unallocated costs in the first quarter of 2025 decreased $5.8 million compared to the first quarter 2024 primarily due to lower incentive costs, including mark-to-market on stock-based compensation, and a favorable impact from foreign currency. 

LIQUIDITY AND SHARE REPURCHASES

The cash balance on March 31, 2025, was $174.0 million. Olin ended the first quarter 2025 with net debt of approximately $2.9 billion and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.5 times. On March 31, 2025, Olin had available liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion.

During first quarter 2025, approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock were repurchased at a cost of $20.2 million. On March 31, 2025, Olin had approximately $2.0 billion available under its share repurchase authorizations.

Olin Corporation
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 the Trailing Twelve Months 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.
