Olin Reports $1.3 Million Q2 Net Loss Sales Hit $1.76 Billion Stock Buyback Continues

On July 28, Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced a Q2 2025 net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, reversing a $74.2 million profit from the same period last year. Despite the downturn, total sales climbed to $1.758 billion, up from $1.644 billion in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $176.1 million, well below last year’s $278.1 million.

The chlor-alkali and vinyls segment delivered $979.5 million in sales, driven by higher volumes, but segment earnings dropped to $64.9 million as lower EDC prices and increased maintenance costs weighed on performance. Company-wide, cash flow from operations reached $212.3 million, with a period-end cash balance of $223.8 million and net debt at $2.8 billion. The net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio stands at 3.9x.

Olin maintains $1.4 billion in available liquidity and repurchased 500,000 shares for $10.1 million this quarter—leaving $2 billion authorized for future buybacks. CEO Ken Lane reaffirmed a focus on strong cash generation and disciplined capital allocation, projecting Q3 adjusted EBITDA between $170 and $210 million.
