Rhea-AI Summary

Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) reported a net loss of $120.1 million for Q2 2020, significantly worse than the $20.0 million loss in Q2 2019. Sales fell to $1,241.2 million from $1,592.9 million year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $71.5 million, down from $204.6 million in the previous year. The decline stemmed from a 27% drop in sales in the Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls and Epoxy businesses, attributed to weak customer demand and maintenance activities. However, the Winchester division saw a year-over-year earnings improvement, driven by elevated commercial ammunition demand. Olin plans refinancing and cost management measures to enhance liquidity and cash flow.
