Olin Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results
Nine-month operating cash flow fell to $69.7 million from $153.0 million, while Olin restored normal operations at its vinyl chloride monomer assets.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Olin (NYSE: OLN) reported third-quarter 2026 net income attributable to Olin of $14.4 million, down from the prior-year quarter.
Diluted earnings fell to $0.13 from $0.37, while sales rose to $1,747.7 million from $1,713.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and specified adjustments, declined to $191.4 million from $222.4 million. Lower Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls earnings outweighed improvements in Epoxy and Winchester.
Olin expects fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $80 million to $100 million and its proposed all-stock Huntsman merger to close in first-quarter 2027. Both companies' shareholders approved the deal, but regulatory approvals remain pending. September-end net debt was approximately $2.8 billion, with approximately $1.3 billion of available liquidity.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those matters expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The payment of cash dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be determined in light of then-current conditions, including our earnings, our operations, our financial conditions, our capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. In the future, our Board of Directors may change our dividend policy, including the frequency or amount of any dividend, in light of then-existing conditions.
The risks, uncertainties and assumptions involved in our forward-looking statements, many of which are discussed in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports furnished or filed with the SEC, include, but are not limited to, the following:
Business, Industry and Operational Risks
- sensitivity to economic, business and market conditions in
the United States and overseas, including economic instability or a downturn in the sectors served by us; - declines in average selling prices for our products and the supply/demand balance for our products, including the impact of excess industry capacity or an imbalance in demand for our chlor alkali products;
- unsuccessful execution of our operating model, which prioritizes Electrochemical Unit (ECU) margins over sales volumes;
- failure to control costs and inflation impacts or failure to achieve targeted cost reductions;
- availability of and/or higher-than-expected costs of raw material, energy, transportation, and/or logistics;
- our reliance on a limited number of suppliers for specified feedstock and services and our reliance on third-party transportation;
- the occurrence of unexpected manufacturing interruptions and outages, including those occurring as a result of labor disruptions and production hazards;
- exposure to physical risks associated with climate-related events or increased severity and frequency of severe weather events;
- the failure or an interruption, including cyber-attacks, of our information technology systems;
- risks associated with our international sales and operations, including economic, political or regulatory changes;
- weak industry conditions affecting our ability to comply with the financial maintenance covenants in our debt agreements;
- our indebtedness and debt service obligations;
- failure to identify, attract, develop, retain and motivate qualified employees throughout the organization and ability to manage executive officer and other key senior management transitions;
- adverse conditions in the credit and capital markets, limiting or preventing our ability to borrow or raise capital;
- our inability to complete future acquisitions or joint venture transactions or successfully integrate them into our business;
- the effects of any declines in global equity markets on asset values and any declines in interest rates or other significant assumptions used to value the liabilities in, and funding of, our pension plans;
- our long-range plan assumptions not being realized, causing a non-cash impairment charge of long-lived assets;
Legal, Environmental and Regulatory Risks
- changes in, or failure to comply with, legislation or government regulations or policies, including changes regarding our ability to manufacture or use certain products and changes within the international markets in which we operate;
- new regulations or public policy changes regarding the transportation of hazardous chemicals and the security of chemical manufacturing facilities;
- unexpected outcomes from legal or regulatory claims and proceedings;
- costs and other expenditures in excess of those projected for environmental investigation and remediation or other legal proceedings;
- various risks associated with our
Lake City U.S. Army Ammunition Plant contract and performance under other governmental contracts;
Risks Relating to the Proposed Merger with Huntsman
- factors relating to the satisfaction of the conditions to, and timely completion of, the proposed Merger with Huntsman, including required regulatory approvals;
- the possibility that the proposed Merger may not be completed on the anticipated terms, timing, or at all, including the possibility of circumstances that would require us to pay a termination fee;
- the possibility that the expected strategic benefits, cost savings, operational efficiencies and synergies of the proposed Merger may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
- the effect of the proposed Merger on relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and other business partners and adverse effects on our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, maintain commercial relationships and execute our business strategy;
- the diversion of management attention from day-to-day operations and other strategic opportunities;
- transaction, advisory, legal, accounting, consulting, regulatory, retention, integration planning costs and other costs associated with the proposed Merger;
- the Merger Agreement contains customary covenants that restrict our ability to undertake certain actions without Huntsman's consent prior to closing, which may limit operational flexibility and the ability to pursue certain business opportunities during the pendency of the Merger; and
- the risk of litigation, regulatory proceedings relating to the proposed Merger, or the imposition of conditions, limitations, divestiture requirements or other remedies by governmental authorities.
All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we consider immaterial could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements.

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. |

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. |

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were Olin's third-quarter 2026 earnings and sales?
Olin earned $0.13 per diluted share on sales of $1,747.7 million. Net income attributable to Olin was $14.4 million, compared with $42.8 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was $191.4 million, versus $222.4 million in third-quarter 2025.
When does Olin expect its Huntsman merger to close?
Olin expects the proposed all-stock merger with Huntsman to close in first-quarter 2027, subject to remaining regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Shareholders of both companies approved the transaction, and the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period expired.
Why did Olin's Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls earnings decline in third-quarter 2026?
Lower tax-related benefits and Freeport vinyl chloride monomer operating issues reduced earnings. The segment's pretax benefit, primarily related to clean hydrogen production tax credits, fell to $5.0 million from $32.0 million. Freeport issues caused $32.1 million in higher costs and reduced profit from lost sales, partly offset by higher pricing.
