OLIN Corp

Cash Flow Data

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities decreased by $167.0 million from the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a larger increase in working capital compared with the prior year and a decrease in operating results. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, working capital increased $204.4 million compared to an increase of $89.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Receivables increased $98.2 million, primarily due to the timing of sales during the first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2025. Inventories increased $43.9 million which reflects normal seasonal growth. Income taxes payable, net of income taxes receivable, decreased by $34.0 million from December 31, 2024 primarily due to timing of international tax payments.

Investing Activities

Capital spending was $61.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $44.3 million for the comparable period in 2024. For the full year 2025, we expect our capital spending to be in the $200 million to $220 million range. Our capital spending forecast represents normal capital spending to maintain our current operating facilities. We expect 2025 depreciation and amortization expense to be in the $525 million range.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, payments under other long-term supply contracts were $28.5 million for energy modernization on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Our payments for this project were completed in the third quarter of 2024.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, activity of our outstanding debt included:

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid debt issuance costs of $12.0 million associated with the 2033 Notes and 2025 Senior Credit Facility.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 0.7 million and 2.0 million shares, respectively, of common stock were repurchased and retired at a total value of $20.2 million and $105.4 million, respectively.

We issued less than 0.1 million and 0.8 million shares representing stock options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with a total value of$1.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we withheld and paid$10.5 million for employee taxes on share-based payment arrangements.

The percent of total debt to total capitalization increased to 59.8% as of March 31, 2025 from 58.0% as of December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of a higher level of debt outstanding.

In the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. Dividends paid for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $23.0 million and $23.9 million, respectively. On May 1, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share on our common stock, payable on June 13, 2025, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2025.

The payment of cash dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be determined in light of then-current conditions, including our earnings, our operations, our financial condition, our capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. In the future, our Board of Directors may change our dividend policy, including the frequency or amount of any dividend, in light of then-existing conditions.

Liquidity and Other Financing Arrangements

Our principal sources of liquidity are from cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and borrowings under our 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and our 2024 Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined below). Additionally, we believe that we have access to the high-yield debt and equity markets.

On March 14, 2025, Olin issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due April 1, 2033 (2033 Notes), in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the 2033 Notes began accruing from March 14, 2025 and is paid semi-annually beginning on October 1, 2025.

On March 14, 2025, Olin entered into a $1,850.0 million senior credit facility (2025 Senior Credit Facility), which increased the borrowing limit of our existing $1,550.0 million senior credit facility (2022 Senior Credit Facility) by $300.0 million and extended the maturity date from October 11, 2027 to March 14, 2030. The 2025 Senior Credit Facility includes a term loan facility with aggregate commitments of $650.0 million (2025 Term Loan Facility) and a revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $1,200.0 million (2025 Revolving Credit Facility).

The 2025 Term Loan Facility replaced Olin’s existing $350.0 million term loan facility (2022 Term Loan Facility, and collectively with the new 2025 Term Loan Facility, the Term Loan Facilities). The 2025 Term Loan Facility requires principal amortization payments beginning on June 30, 2025 at a rate of 0.625% per quarter through March 31, 2027, increasing to 1.250% per quarter thereafter until maturity and was fully drawn on the closing date.

The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility replaced Olin’s existing $1,200.0 million revolving credit facility (2022 Revolving Credit Facility, and collectively with the new 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Facilities). The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility includes a $100.0 million letter of credit subfacility. At March 31, 2025, we had $1,124.6 million available under our 2025 Revolving Credit Facility because we had $75.0 million million borrowed under the facility and issued $0.4 million of letters of credit.

Proceeds from the 2033 Notes, together with borrowings under the 2025 Senior Credit Facility, were used to redeem the $108.6 million 2025 Notes, redeem the $500.0 million 2027 Notes, refinance the existing 2022 Senior Credit Facility, comprised of $505.0 million of borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility and $332.5 million of borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, and pay related fees and expenses.

We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions under all our outstanding credit agreements as of March 31, 2025, and no event of default had occurred that would permit the lenders under our outstanding credit agreements to accelerate the debt if not cured. In the future, our ability to generate sufficient operating cash flows, among other factors, will determine the amounts available to be borrowed under these facilities. As a result of our restrictive covenant related to the net leverage ratio, the maximum additional borrowings available to us could be limited in the future. The limitation, if an amendment or waiver from our lenders is not obtained, could restrict our ability to borrow the maximum amounts available under the 2025 Senior Revolving Credit Facility and the 2024 Receivables Financing Agreement (defined below). As of March 31, 2025, there were no covenants or other restrictions that limited our ability to borrow.

On November 20, 2024, we entered into a $500.0 million receivables financing agreement (2024 Receivables Financing Agreement) which increased the borrowing limit of our existing $425.0 million receivables financing agreement (2022 Receivables Financing Agreement) by $75.0 million and extended the maturity date from October 14, 2025 to November 19, 2027 (collectively, the “Receivables Financing Agreements”).

Under the Receivables Financing Agreements, our eligible trade receivables are used for collateralized borrowings and continue to be serviced by us. In addition, the Receivables Financing Agreement incorporates the net leverage ratio covenant that is contained in the 2025 Senior Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we had $461.0 million, $475.0 million and $332.4 million, respectively, drawn under the 2024 and 2022 Receivables Financing Agreements. As of March 31, 2025, $631.0 million of our trade receivables were pledged as collateral and we had $39.0 million of additional borrowing capacity under the 2024 Receivables Financing Agreement.

At March 31, 2025, we had total letters of credit of $161.5 million outstanding, of which $0.4 million were issued under our 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit were used to support certain long-term debt obligations, workers compensation insurance policies, plant closure and post-closure obligations, international payment obligations and international pension funding requirements.

Our current debt structure is used to fund our business operations. As of March 31, 2025, we had long-term borrowings, including the current installment, of $3,035.8 million, of which $1,271.9 million were at variable rates. Included within long-term borrowings on the condensed balance sheets were deferred debt issuance costs of $20.7 million as of March 31, 2025.

We believe, based on current and projected levels of cash flow from our operations, together with our cash and cash equivalents on hand and the availability to borrow under our 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and 2024 Receivables Financing Agreement, we have sufficient liquidity to meet our short-term and long-term needs, to make required payments of interest on our debt, fund our operating needs, working capital and our capital expenditure requirements, and comply with the financial ratios in our debt agreements.

On December 11, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program with a $1.3 billion authorization (the 2024 Repurchase Authorization). The Board of Directors previously authorized share repurchases with a $2.0 billion authorization on July 28, 2022 (the 2022 Repurchase Authorization). The 2024 Repurchase Authorization and 2022 Repurchase Authorization will terminate upon the purchase of $1.3 billion and $2.0 billion of common stock, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 0.7 million shares of common stock were repurchased and retired at a total value of $20.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, a cumulative total of 25.8 million shares were repurchased and retired at a total value of $1,321.1 million under the 2022 Repurchase Authorization program, and $1,978.9 million of common stock remained authorized to be repurchased under the 2022 and 2024 Repurchase Authorization programs.

We have registered an undetermined number of securities with the SEC, so that, from time-to-time we may issue debt securities, preferred stock and/or common stock and associated warrants in the public market under that registration statement.

Contractual Obligations

Purchasing commitments are utilized in our normal course of business for our projected needs.

These agreements are maintained through long-term cost based contracts that provide us with a reliable supply of key raw materials. There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than those which occur in the ordinary course of business.
