CLAYTON, Mo., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Second quarter 2023 reported net income was $146.9 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, which compares to second quarter 2022 reported net income of $422.1 million, or $2.76 per diluted share. Second quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $351.1 million excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $136.8 million, gain on sale of our domestic private trucking fleet and operations of $27.0 million, and restructuring charges of $19.2 million. Second quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA was $727.3 million. Sales in the second quarter 2023 were $1,702.7 million compared to $2,616.1 million in the second quarter 2022.
Scott Sutton, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In this challenging demand environment, Olin's global team continues to prove our model's resilience and the ability to deliver significantly higher trough level adjusted EBITDA and corresponding cash flows. Our investment grade balance sheet and strong cash flow allow Olin to successfully maintain our commercial discipline and "value-first" approach, which will fuel an accelerated earnings recovery once demand improves. We continue to prioritize share repurchases from excess cash flow with approximately 5% of outstanding shares repurchased so far in 2023.
"In light of the difficult global economic environment and continued operating issues with the vinyl chloride monomer Freeport, Texas facility, we expect third quarter 2023 results from our Chemical businesses to be lower than second quarter 2023 levels. We expect our Winchester business third quarter 2023 results to increase sequentially from second quarter 2023 as we anticipate international and domestic military growth. Overall, we expect Olin's third quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA to be approximately 10% lower than second quarter 2023 levels. We expect full year adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $1.4 billion."
SEGMENT REPORTING
Olin defines segment earnings as income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, other operating income (expense), non-operating pension income, other income, and income taxes.
CHLOR ALKALI PRODUCTS AND VINYLS
In first quarter 2023, the Blue Water Alliance joint venture began operations and are consolidated in our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls sales for the second quarter 2023 were $1,002.3 million compared to $1,403.5 million in the second quarter 2022. The decrease in Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls sales was primarily due to 24% lower volumes partially offset by higher pricing. Second quarter 2023 segment earnings were $180.1 million compared to $346.5 million in the second quarter 2022. The $166.4 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower volumes partially offset by higher pricing across all products except vinyls intermediates, which declined. The Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls second quarter 2023 segment results were also negatively impacted by $78.9 million for the maintenance turnaround and subsequent operating issues with the vinyl chloride monomer plant at the Freeport, Texas facility resulting in higher costs and reduced profit from lost sales. Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls second quarter 2023 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $113.3 million compared to $120.4 million in the second quarter 2022.
EPOXY
Epoxy sales for the second quarter 2023 were $333.8 million compared to $772.7 million in the second quarter 2022. The decrease in Epoxy sales was primarily due to 24% lower resin and systems volumes and $206.9 million of lower cumene and bisphenol A sales. As part of the Epoxy business restructuring actions to right-size our global asset footprint to the most cost-effective asset base to support our strategic operating model, the Epoxy business ceased operations at our cumene facility in Terneuzen, Netherlands in first quarter 2023 and one of our bisphenol A production lines at our Stade, Germany facility in fourth quarter 2022. Second quarter 2023 segment loss was $0.5 million compared to segment earnings of $139.9 million in the second quarter 2022. The $140.4 million decrease in Epoxy segment earnings was primarily due to lower volumes and lower pricing, partially offset by lower raw material and operating costs, mainly decreased natural gas and electrical power costs. Epoxy second quarter 2023 results included depreciation and amortization expense of $15.2 million compared to $20.4 million in the second quarter 2022.
WINCHESTER
Winchester sales for the second quarter 2023 were $366.6 million compared to $439.9 million in the second quarter 2022. The decrease in Winchester sales was primarily due to lower commercial ammunition shipments, partially offset by higher domestic and international military sales. Second quarter 2023 segment earnings were $64.7 million compared to $119.3 million in the second quarter 2022. The $54.6 million decrease in segment earnings was primarily due to lower commercial ammunition shipments and pricing, and higher commodity and other materials costs, partially offset by higher military sales. Winchester second quarter 2023 included depreciation and amortization expense of $6.3 million compared to $5.9 million in the second quarter 2022.
CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS
Second quarter 2023 charges to income for environmental investigatory and remedial activities were $13.0 million compared to $5.0 million in the second quarter 2022. The second quarter 2023 increase in charges relate primarily to future remedial activities associated with past manufacturing operations.
Other corporate and unallocated costs in second quarter of 2023 decreased $12.6 million compared to second quarter 2022 primarily due to lower incentive costs and lower legal-related costs.
LIQUIDITY AND SHARE REPURCHASES
