Strategic Developments

Guidance and Outlook

For Q1 2026, Olin expects adjusted EBITDA to be lower than Q4 2025 due to continued seasonally weak demand, higher sequential raw materials cost including energy, and higher turnaround costs as the VCM turnaround starts.

For full-year 2026, the company expects capital spending of approximately $200 million, depreciation and amortization of approximately $475 million, and interest expense of $180-185 million. Restructuring costs are expected to be approximately $30 million, similar to 2025 levels.

Performance Summary

Olin reported a Q4 2025 net loss of $85.5 million with adjusted EBITDA of $67.7 million. Full-year 2025 net loss was $43.4 million with adjusted EBITDA of $651.8 million.
