Third Quarter 2021 Highlights- Net income of $390.7 million and record adjusted EBITDA of $707.0 million- ECU Profit Contribution Index improved by 16% compared to second quarter- Epoxy and Winchester achieved record quarterly segment earnings

CLAYTON, Mo., Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Third quarter 2021 reported net income was $390.7 million, or $2.38 per diluted share, which compares to third quarter 2020 reported net loss of $736.8 million, or $4.67 per diluted share. Third quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $707.0 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $145.2 million and restructuring charges of $3.6 million. Third quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA was $195.5 million. Sales in the third quarter 2021 were $2,340.1 million compared to $1,437.6 million in the third quarter 2020.

Scott Sutton, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Solid quarterly adjusted EBITDA was achieved despite production interruptions from hurricanes, raw material cost volatility, and supply-chain disruptions. Our third quarter performance continues to demonstrate the resilience of our unique winning model that adapts in real-time to prioritize ‘value first’ amid a backdrop of improving structural fundamentals. Olin drove sequential pricing improvement in the third quarter 2021 for chlorine, chlorine derivatives, including epoxy resins, and caustic soda. “We expect Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls fourth quarter segment results to increase sequentially, while the Epoxy and Winchester segment fourth quarter results are expected to seasonally decline from third quarter 2021 levels. Overall, we also expect fourth quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA to be comparable to or slightly lower than third quarter 2021 levels.”

SEGMENT REPORTING

Olin defines segment earnings as income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, goodwill impairment charges, other operating income (expense), non-operating pension income, other income, and income taxes.

EPOXY

Epoxy sales for the third quarter 2021 were $877.7 million compared to $476.1 million in the third quarter 2020. The increase in Epoxy sales was primarily due to higher pricing. Third quarter 2021 segment earnings were $215.2 million compared to $14.9 million in the third quarter 2020. The $200.3 million increase in Epoxy segment earnings was primarily due to higher product margins, as higher pricing was partially offset by higher benzene and propylene raw material costs. The segment earnings also reflected higher operating costs. Epoxy third quarter 2021 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $21.1 million compared to $23.9 million in the third quarter 2020.
