About Olin
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Olin is based in Clayton, Missouri and is incorporated in Virginia. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker OLN. The SEC classifies its business as chemicals & allied products. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $6.78bn and a net loss of $101.1m. At that date it held total assets of $7.33bn and shareholders' equity of $1.84bn. By business, Chlorine, chlorine derivatives and other products brought in 30.3% of revenue, followed by Caustic soda at 24.1% and Military and law enforcement(1) at 16.0%. By region, U.S. accounted for 67.6%, followed by Other foreign at 22.8% and Europe at 9.5%.
Chlorine is used as a raw material in the production of thousands of products, including vinyls, urethanes, epoxy, water treatment chemicals and a variety of other organic and inorganic chemicals. A significant portion of chlorine production is consumed in the manufacturing of vinyls intermediates, EDC and VCM, both of which our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment produces. A large portion of our EDC production is utilized in the production of VCM, but we are also one of the largest global participants in merchant EDC sales. In addition to marketing Olin produced EDC, we also purchase EDC for re-sale on a global basis. EDC and VCM are precursors for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a material used in applications such as vinyl siding, pipe, pipe fittings and automotive parts.
Our Chlor Alkali Products and Vinyls segment is one of the largest global marketers of caustic soda, including caustic soda produced by Olin, and globally produced material purchased by Olin for re-sale. The diversity of caustic soda sourcing allows us to cost effectively supply customers worldwide. Caustic soda has a wide variety of end-use applications, the largest of which includes water treatment, alumina, pulp and paper, urethanes, detergents and soaps and a variety of other organic and inorganic chemicals.
