Olin Announces First Quarter 2026 Results
Highlights
•First quarter 2026 net loss of ($83.0) million, or ($0.73) per diluted share
•Quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $86.2 million
Clayton, MO, May 7, 2026 – Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. First quarter 2026 reported net loss was ($83.0) million, or ($0.73) per diluted share, which compares to first quarter 2025 reported net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. First quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $86.2 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $117.2 million, restructuring charges of $9.1 million and legacy litigation charges of $36.1 million. First quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $185.6 million. Sales in the first quarter 2026 were $1,583.0 million, compared to $1,644.2 million in the first quarter 2025.
Ken Lane, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the first quarter, the Olin team delivered sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA. Our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls business benefited from favorable operating cost performance driven by our Beyond250 structural cost actions and lower than expected planned maintenance turnaround expenses. Our Epoxy business returned to positive adjusted EBITDA underpinned by growth in its European business, supported by structurally improved costs at our Stade, Germany facility. Winchester’s sequential improvement was driven by actions taken late last year to accelerate channel inventory destocking, as well as improving demand and pricing measures implemented to offset commodity metals and raw materials cost inflation.
“Late in the first quarter, the Iran conflict began to impact trade flows and to increase raw material and feedstock costs. As global supply shortages persist into the second quarter and potentially beyond, our advantaged North American asset base positions us to reliably serve our customers.
“Looking ahead, our Chemicals businesses are expected to deliver sequential earnings improvement driven by seasonally stronger demand and improved pricing, particularly for ethylene dichloride, caustic soda, and epoxy resins. In our Winchester business, improving commercial and military demand are expected to support sequential earnings growth. Overall, second quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA is forecast to be in the range of $160 million to $200 million,” 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 2026 were $756.9 million, compared to $924.5 million in the first quarter 2025. The decrease in sales was due to lower volumes, primarily resulting from lower trading volumes associated with Blue Water Alliance, and lower pricing. The Blue Water Alliance joint venture concluded operations at the end of 2025. First quarter 2026 segment loss was ($44.5) million, compared to segment earnings of $78.3 million in the first quarter 2025. The $122.8 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower pricing and volumes, higher raw material costs, primarily natural gas and electrical power costs, and higher planned maintenance turnaround expenses, partially offset by lower operating costs. Segment results included $36.1 million in legacy litigation costs. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls first quarter 2026 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $93.2 million compared to $107.2 million in the first quarter 2025.
EPOXY
Epoxy sales for the first quarter 2026 were $355.6 million, compared to $331.7 million in the first quarter 2025. First quarter 2026 segment loss was ($2.9) million, compared to segment loss of ($28.4) million in the first quarter 2025. The $25.5 million increase in segment results was primarily due to lower operating costs and higher volumes. Product margins were slightly lower year over year. Epoxy first quarter 2026 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $11.9 million compared to $12.8 million in the first quarter 2025.
WINCHESTER
Winchester sales for the first quarter 2026 were $470.5 million, compared to $388.0 million in the first quarter 2025. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher military project revenue and military sales, and higher commercial ammunition sales. First quarter 2026 segment earnings were $15.2 million, compared to $22.8 million in the first quarter 2025. The $7.6 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to higher raw
material costs, primarily commodity metal costs, and higher operating costs, partially offset by higher commercial ammunition pricing and higher military project revenue. Winchester first quarter 2026 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $8.9 million compared to $9.5 million in the first quarter 2025.
CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS
Other corporate and unallocated costs in the first quarter of 2026 increased $13.2 million compared to the first quarter 2025 primarily due to higher incentive costs, primarily mark-to-market on stock-based compensation, and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency.
LIQUIDITY AND DIVIDENDS
The cash balance on March 31, 2026, was $192.2 million. Olin ended the first quarter 2026 with net debt of approximately $2.8 billion and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.1 times. On March 31, 2026, Olin had available liquidity of approximately $1.3 billion, including unrestricted access to the undrawn portion of its revolving credit facility. Working capital increased $56.8 million in the first quarter 2026 due to normal seasonality tempered by a disciplined cash management approach.
On April 29, 2026, Olin’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.20 on each share of Olin common stock. The dividend is payable on June 12, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2026. This will be the 398th consecutive quarterly dividend to be paid by the Company.
CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION
Olin senior management will host a conference call to discuss first quarter 2026 financial results at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, May 8, 2026.

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.
