"In early 2023, we expect our chemical businesses to continue to be tested by European and North American epoxy demand weakness and vinyls intermediate demand weakness, aggravated by elevated levels of Chinese exports caused by lingering weak Chinese domestic demand. Our chemical businesses expect to continue at reduced operating rates as we refrain from selling incremental volume into poor-quality markets. We expect the first quarter 2023 results from our Chemical businesses to be slightly lower than fourth quarter 2022 levels. We expect our Winchester business first quarter 2023 results to increase sequentially from fourth quarter 2022 but to be lower than first quarter 2022 levels due to lower commercial ammunition shipments. Overall, we expect Olin's first quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA to decline slightly from fourth quarter 2022 levels."
