OLIN ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights
•Fourth quarter 2020 net loss of $33.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $246.2 million
•ECU Profit Contribution Index improved by 6% in fourth quarter compared to third quarter
•Winchester achieved record quarterly segment earnings
Clayton, MO, January 28, 2021 – Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020.
Fourth quarter 2020 reported net loss was $33.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, which compares to fourth quarter 2019 reported net loss of $77.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA of $246.2 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $143.3 million, information technology integration costs of $13.3 million, and restructuring charges and other non-recurring costs of $4.7 million. Fourth quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA was $173.2 million. Sales in the fourth quarter 2020 were $1,654.1 million compared to $1,387.1 million in the fourth quarter 2019.
Scott Sutton, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am proud of the Olin team for their success in implementing our unique winning model and leading by prioritizing ‘value first’ across the ECU (Electrochemical Unit), even in a sub-optimal market configuration for Olin. As predicted, we increased the ECU Profit Contribution Index (ECU PCI) in the face of softening caustic values. Olin drove sequential pricing improvement in the fourth quarter 2020 for chlorine and almost all chlorine derivatives, including epoxy resins. Our Winchester business delivered the strongest quarterly earnings in its history due to outstanding execution by the team, with even higher performance expected in 2021.
“Looking ahead to first quarter 2021 in our Chemicals businesses, and particularly in Epoxy, we expect our winning model to push the ECU PCI higher, with Olin’s recent price increase announcements for chlorine, epichlorohydrin, epoxy resins, bleach, ethylene dichloride and chlorinated organics forecast to positively contribute. We expect some volume offsets as Olin continues to selectively sell less into poor quality markets, as we remain disciplined in our approach to caustic soda. Additionally, productivity actions are expected to
favorably contribute to first quarter 2021 results. Overall, we expect first quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA to improve sequentially from fourth quarter 2020.”
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.
CHLOR ALKALI PRODUCTS AND VINYLS
Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls sales for the fourth quarter 2020 were $793.7 million compared to $762.4 million in the fourth quarter 2019. Fourth quarter 2020 segment earnings were $57.0 million compared to $32.9 million in the fourth quarter 2019. The increases in the fourth quarter sales and segment earnings compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 were primarily due to higher ECU pricing, mainly ethylene dichloride and chlorine, partially offset by lower volumes. The segment earnings also improved due to lower raw material and operating costs. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls fourth quarter 2020 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $112.3 million compared to $109.6 million in the fourth quarter 2019.
EPOXY
Epoxy sales for the fourth quarter 2020 were $519.8 million compared to $470.0 million in the fourth quarter 2019. The increase in Epoxy sales was primarily due to higher wind energy volumes and higher aromatics volumes. The fourth quarter 2020 segment earnings were $27.2 million compared to $15.3 million in the fourth quarter 2019. The increase in Epoxy segment earnings was due to higher product margins, primarily due to lower benzene and propylene raw material costs, and lower operating costs. Epoxy fourth quarter 2020 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $23.7 million compared to $20.9 million in the fourth quarter 2019.
WINCHESTER
On October 1st, Winchester began operating the Lake City U.S. Army Ammunition Plant (Lake City). Winchester sales for the fourth quarter 2020 were $340.6 million compared to $154.7 million in the fourth quarter 2019. Fourth quarter 2020 segment earnings were $44.8 million compared to $7.0 million in the fourth quarter 2019. The increase in fourth quarter sales and segment earnings was primarily due to higher commercial and military sales, which included ammunition produced at Lake City, and higher commercial ammunition pricing. Winchester fourth quarter 2020 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $5.4 million compared to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter 2019.
CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS
Other corporate and unallocated costs in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased $3.6 million compared to the fourth quarter 2019, as higher stock-based compensation costs, which includes mark-to-market adjustments, were partially offset by lower salary and benefit costs and lower costs associated with the implementation of new enterprise resource planning, manufacturing, and engineering systems, and the related infrastructure costs, which was completed in late-2020.
CASH AND LIQUIDITY
The cash balance on December 31, 2020 was $189.7 million. Working capital decreased by $141.6 million in 2020, which included an approximately $67 million investment in working capital to support the Lake City operations. Olin ended 2020 with net debt of $3,674.1 million and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5.8 times. Through a combination of improved adjusted EBITDA, disciplined capital spending and debt reduction, Olin expects its net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio to improve to the 3 times range within the next 12 months.
On January 15, 2021, Olin redeemed the remaining $120 million of outstanding 9.75% senior notes due October 15, 2023 for a redemption price in cash of 102.438% of the principal amount (representing an aggregate redemption premium of approximately $3.0 million). Olin funded the redemption using cash generated from operations.

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 expense (benefit), other expense (income), restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges 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.

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 expense (benefit), other expense (income), restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges 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.
