Olin Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Olin (OLN) reported a third quarter 2024 net loss of ($24.9) million, or ($0.21) per diluted share, compared to net income of $104.1 million in Q3 2023. Q3 2024 sales decreased to $1,589.5 million from $1,671.4 million year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $160.3 million, down from $314.8 million in Q3 2023.

Hurricane Beryl significantly impacted operations, resulting in an estimated $135 million total headwind for 2024. Winchester segment experienced weaker commercial ammunition sales due to lower retail demand and high channel inventories. The company expects Q4 2024 adjusted EBITDA to be between $170-200 million.

Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results paint a challenging picture for Olin, with a significant swing from $104.1 million profit in Q3 2023 to a $24.9 million loss in Q3 2024. The primary headwind was Hurricane Beryl, causing a substantial $135 million impact across 2024. Adjusted EBITDA declined 49% year-over-year to $160.3 million.

The Chlor Alkali segment faced pressure from both hurricane impacts and lower caustic soda pricing, while Winchester's performance deteriorated due to weakening commercial ammunition demand and inventory destocking. The company's net debt position of $2.7 billion and 3.0x leverage ratio warrant attention, though $1.0 billion in available liquidity provides some flexibility.

Management's Q4 guidance of $170-200 million in adjusted EBITDA suggests continued challenges, with seasonal weakness and ongoing hurricane recovery impacting performance.

Industry Analyst

The results reveal broader industry dynamics affecting Olin's segments. In chemicals, while global caustic soda demand shows gradual improvement, pricing remains pressured. The hurricane disruption masks underlying market conditions, but the anticipated seasonal decline in Q4 suggests persistent challenges.

The Winchester segment's performance highlights a notable shift in ammunition markets. Despite 35% sequential growth in military shipments, the commercial side faces headwinds from retail inventory corrections and reduced consumer demand. This divergence between military and commercial markets could persist into 2024, impacting segment profitability.

Highlights

• Third quarter 2024 net loss of ($24.9) million, or ($0.21) per diluted share
• Quarterly adjusted EBITDA of $160.3 million

CLAYTON, Mo., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Third quarter 2024 reported net loss was ($24.9) million, or ($0.21) per diluted share, which compares to third quarter 2023 reported net income of $104.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted share. Third quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $160.3 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $130.2 million and restructuring charges of $7.9 million. Third quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA was $314.8 million. Sales in the third quarter 2024 were $1,589.5 million, compared to $1,671.4 million in the third quarter 2023.

Ken Lane, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the third quarter, our Olin team worked tirelessly to recover from the effects of Hurricane Beryl. However, despite the team's hard work, persistent operating limitations related to the hurricane necessitated an additional outage, which we commenced in late September and successfully completed this month. This downtime added $9.4 million to the originally estimated third quarter Hurricane Beryl impact of $100 million and we anticipate a residual fourth quarter impact of approximately $25 million on our Chemicals businesses. Overall, Hurricane Beryl is expected to result in an approximately $135 million headwind in 2024. Our Freeport, Texas assets are now returning to normal operations. Excluding the Hurricane Beryl impact, our Chemicals businesses' performance in the third quarter 2024 was slightly better than we anticipated."

Lane continued, "Winchester's third quarter results fell short of our expectations, due to weaker commercial ammunition sales, as our retail customers experienced lower sales and elevated channel inventories with slowing rates of replenishment. Winchester's third quarter military shipments and project revenue increased 35% sequentially. We expect Winchester's fourth quarter 2024 segment results to trend sequentially lower, as we enter the seasonally weakest quarter of commercial ammunition demand coupled with our retail customers continuing to reduce their elevated inventory levels."

Commenting on the overall outlook, Lane continued, "We are encouraged to see global caustic soda demand continue to slowly improve albeit with seasonally lower demand expected during the fourth quarter. Excluding the Hurricane Beryl impact, we anticipate our Chemical businesses' fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA to seasonally decline from third quarter 2024. Based on our current outlook, we expect Olin's fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $170 to $200 million. Olin remains disciplined in our value-focused commercial model and our capital allocation strategy, which continues to drive cash flows and enables our priority to return cash to shareholders." 

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 third quarter 2024 were $871.6 million, compared to $969.6 million in the third quarter 2023. Third quarter 2024 segment earnings were $45.3 million, compared to $172.3 million in the third quarter 2023. The third quarter included $76.7 million of additional costs, unabsorbed fixed manufacturing costs, and reduced profit from lost sales associated with Hurricane Beryl. The remaining $50.3 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower pricing, primarily caustic soda. The third quarter 2023 segment results were negatively impacted by a maintenance turnaround and subsequent operating issues with the vinyl chloride monomer plant at the Freeport, Texas facility resulting in higher costs and reduced profit from lost sales. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls third quarter 2024 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $106.5 million compared to $107.6 million in the third quarter 2023.

EPOXY

Epoxy sales for the third quarter 2024 were $285.1 million, compared to $321.6 million in the third quarter 2023. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower volumes, including the effect of lost sales from Hurricane Beryl. Third quarter 2024 segment loss was ($42.8) million, compared to segment loss of ($28.8) million in the third quarter 2023. The third quarter included $32.7 million of additional costs, unabsorbed fixed manufacturing costs, and reduced profit from lost sales associated with Hurricane Beryl. The remaining $18.7 million increase in segment results was primarily due to lower raw material and operating costs. Epoxy third quarter 2024 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $13.7 million compared to $14.7 million in the third quarter 2023.

WINCHESTER

In fourth quarter 2023, Olin completed the acquisition of the White Flyer business, which was included in the Winchester segment. White Flyer designs, manufactures and sells recreational trap, skeet, international and sporting clay targets. Winchester sales for the third quarter 2024 were $432.8 million, compared to $380.2 million in the third quarter 2023. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher international military sales, military project revenue, and White Flyer sales, partially offset by lower commercial ammunition sales. Third quarter 2024 segment earnings were $53.4 million, compared to $64.5 million in the third quarter 2023. The $11.1 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower commercial ammunition shipments and higher propellant costs, partially offset by White Flyer earnings and higher military shipments and military project revenue. Winchester third quarter 2024 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $8.5 million compared to $6.6 million in the third quarter 2023.

CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS

Other corporate and unallocated costs in the third quarter of 2024 increased $3.0 million compared to third quarter 2023 primarily due to higher stock-based compensation, including mark-to-market, and higher legal-related costs.

LIQUIDITY AND SHARE REPURCHASES

The cash balance on September 30, 2024, was $225.9 million. Olin ended the third quarter 2024 with net debt of approximately $2.7 billion and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.0 times. On September 30, 2024, Olin had approximately $1.0 billion of available liquidity.

During third quarter 2024, approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock were repurchased at a cost of $45.4 million. On September 30, 2024, Olin had approximately $0.7 billion available under its share repurchase authorization.

Olin Corporation
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.

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.
