Olin has also announced strategic initiatives, such as the 'value accelerator initiative' aimed at improving the Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment. This included reducing operational rates at key facilities to influence market conditions favorably. The company's financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected these strategic moves, with reported net income of $52.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $210.1 million. Olin's Winchester segment saw growth in sales and earnings due to higher commercial ammunition shipments and military sales, bolstered further by the acquisition of White Flyer targets.
