Forward Guidance

Olin expects fourth quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA to be in the $200 million range, with Winchester segment results similar to third quarter 2023 levels. The 'value accelerator initiative' is expected to reduce fourth quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA outlook by approximately $100 million compared to previous expectations but should deliver an improved 2024 adjusted EBITDA compared to 2023.

  • Winchester segment fourth quarter results expected to be similar to third quarter 2023 levels.
  • Value accelerator initiative' should deliver an improved 2024 adjusted EBITDA compared to 2023.

  • Idled St. Gabriel, Louisiana, facility and largest chlor alkali plant at Freeport, Texas facility
  • Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls third quarter 2023 segment results were also negatively impacted by higher costs and reduced profit from lost sales associated with operating issues, related to the previous quarter’s maintenance turnaround at our vinyl chloride monomer plant at the Freeport, Texas facility.
