OLIN ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS
Clayton, MO, January 30, 2012 - Olin Corporation (NYSE: OLN) announced today that its fourth quarter 2011 net income was $18.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, which compares favorably to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $445.8 million, compared to $385.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Fourth quarter 2011 results included pretax restructuring charges of $4.1 million compared to fourth quarter 2010 restructuring charges of $34.2 million. These charges are primarily associated with the conversion of the Charleston, Tennessee Chlor Alkali plant from mercury cell to membrane technology and the relocation of the Winchester centerfire ammunition manufacturing operations from East Alton, Illinois to Oxford, Mississippi. Fourth quarter 2011 results also included $1.9 million of pretax insurance recoveries related to the Oxford, Mississippi and St. Gabriel, Louisiana facilities and $0.4 million of pretax recoveries of environmental costs incurred and expensed in prior periods. Fourth quarter 2010 results included a $1.4 million pretax recovery of a previously written off investment and a $1.6 million pretax recovery of environmental costs incurred and expensed in prior periods.
Joseph D. Rupp, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer said, “2011 was a successful year for Olin. Earnings in our Chlor Alkali business more than doubled compared to 2010, driven by improved pricing and a higher level of co-product sales. The Chlor Alkali business was also strengthened by the acquisition of PolyOne’s 50% interest in the SunBelt facility in the first quarter. Winchester’s earnings, while declining from the surge levels of 2009 and 2010, still represented the third most profitable year in its history. As a result of these performances, Olin generated the second highest level of EBITDA in its history.
“In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Chlor Alkali segment did experience weaker demand compared to both the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010 levels. We experienced weaker demand in most end use market segments and this resulted in a fourth quarter operating rate of 70%. Fourth quarter 2011 ECU netbacks, excluding SunBelt, improved approximately 13% compared to fourth quarter 2010 levels. These factors resulted in a year-over-year improvement in fourth quarter Chlor Alkali segment earnings of 38%. Winchester’s fourth quarter 2011 results declined compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 reflecting higher commodity and manufacturing costs. Fourth quarter 2011 restructuring charges exceeded our estimate due to an acceleration of the Winchester centerfire ammunition relocation project.
“First quarter 2012 net income is forecast to be in the $0.35 to $0.40 per diluted share range, reflecting some seasonal strengthening in both Chlor Alkali and Winchester, and approximately $2.5 million of pretax restructuring charges. Chlor Alkali earnings are forecast to improve compared to the first quarter of 2011, reflecting higher selling prices and the full quarter 100% ownership of SunBelt. Chlorine and caustic soda shipments are forecast to be similar to first quarter 2011 levels. In the first quarter of 2012 Winchester results are forecast to be in line with first quarter 2011 levels as lower commercial volumes and higher commodity costs offset improved pricing.”
SEGMENT REPORTING
We define segment earnings as income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, other income (expense), and income taxes and include the earnings of non-consolidated affiliates in segment results consistent with management’s monitoring of the operating segments.
CHLOR ALKALI PRODUCTS
Chlor Alkali product sales for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $323.3 million compared to $272.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 chlorine and caustic soda volumes declined 13% compared to the fourth quarter 2010 levels, and fourth quarter 2011 potassium hydroxide volumes declined 34% compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. These were partially offset by higher volumes of hydrochloric acid, which increased 13% during the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 bleach sales were comparable to fourth quarter 2010 levels. Freight costs included in the ECU netbacks in the fourth quarter of 2011 were 23% higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 Chlor Alkali segment earnings of $50.3 million increased compared to the $36.5 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2010, due to higher selling prices and the SunBelt acquisition.
WINCHESTER
Winchester fourth quarter 2011 sales were $122.5 million compared to $112.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in fourth quarter 2011 sales compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 reflects increased shipments to commercial, military and international customers, which more than offset a decline in shipments to law enforcement customers. Winchester’s fourth quarter 2011 segment earnings were $0.5 million compared to $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in segment earnings reflects the impact of a less favorable product mix, higher commodity metal costs, higher manufacturing costs, and costs associated with the relocation of the centerfire operations to Oxford, Mississippi, partially offset by higher selling prices.
CORPORATE AND OTHER COSTS
Pension income included in the fourth quarter 2011 Corporate and Other segment was $7.0 million compared to income of $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Fourth quarter charges to income for environmental investigatory and remedial activities were $5.0 million in 2011, which includes the $0.4 million of pretax recoveries for costs incurred and expensed in prior periods. Fourth quarter 2010 charges to income were less than $0.1 million for environmental investigatory and remedial activities and included $1.6 million of pretax recoveries for environmental costs incurred and expensed in prior periods. Without these recoveries, charges to income for environmental investigatory and remedial activities would have been $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. These charges relate primarily to remedial and investigatory activities associated with former waste sites and past operations.
Other corporate and unallocated costs in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased $3.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily due to higher asset retirement costs and increased salary and benefit costs, partially offset by lower legal and legal-related settlement expenses.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
During the fourth quarter of 2011, a pretax restructuring charge of $4.1 million was recorded. This charge was primarily related to costs associated with the Chlor Alkali mercury cell conversion project and employee and equipment relocation expenses incurred as part of the Winchester centerfire relocation project.
FINANCING
In December 2011, we repaid $75.0 million of bonds that were issued in 2001, and $12.2 million of SunBelt notes. Both were redeemed using cash. Also during December 2011, we drew the remaining $36.0 million of variable rate Go Zone bonds that were issued in 2010. The associated cash was classified as a restricted long-term asset. On December 31, 2011 there was a $51.7 million restricted cash balance that is required to be used to fund capital projects in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
DIVIDEND
On January 27, 2012, Olin’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.20 on each share of Olin common stock. The dividend is payable on March 9, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 10, 2012. This is the 341st consecutive quarterly dividend to be paid by the Company.

|
·
|
sensitivity to economic, business and market conditions in the United States and overseas, including economic instability or a downturn in the sectors served by us, such as ammunition, housing, vinyls, and pulp and paper, and the migration by United States customers to low-cost foreign locations;
|
|
·
|
the cyclical nature of our operating results, particularly declines in average selling prices in the chlor alkali industry and the supply/demand balance for our products, including the impact of excess industry capacity or an imbalance in demand for our chlor alkali products;
|
|
·
|
economic and industry downturns that result in diminished product demand and excess manufacturing capacity in any of our segments and that, in many cases, result in lower selling prices and profits;
|
|
·
|
costs and other expenditures in excess of those projected for environmental investigation and remediation or other legal proceedings;
|
|
·
|
unexpected litigation outcomes;
|
|

|
|
·
|
changes in legislation or government regulations or policies;
|
|
·
|
higher-than-expected raw material and energy, transportation, and/or logistics costs;
|
|
·
|
weak industry conditions could affect our ability to comply with the financial maintenance covenants in our senior revolving credit facility and certain tax-exempt bonds;
|
|
·
|
the effects of any declines in global equity markets on asset values and any declines in interest rates used to value the liabilities in our pension plan;
|
|
·
|
an increase in our indebtedness or higher-than-expected interest rates, affecting our ability to generate sufficient cash flow for debt service; and
|
|
·
|
adverse conditions in the credit and capital markets, limiting or preventing our ability to borrow or raise capital.
|
All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we consider immaterial could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements.
