Olin (OLN) scores 76 of 100 for earnings quality, grade B: rank 150 of 1027 companies and 18 of 82 in materials. It loses the most points on Piotroski F-score 4 of 9, accruals of -7.7% of assets, lower than 76% of companies (profit backed by cash), Montier C-score 1 of 5 checks failed. It earns full or near-full marks for discretionary accruals of -0.5% of assets (modified Jones), smaller than most, profit about as variable as cash flow (smoothness 1.01).

How the score is built
Eight published measures, each scored against the whole universe or on its own scale and weighted: accruals 20, discretionary accruals 10, Beneish M 15, Dechow F 15, Montier C 15, Piotroski F 10, the non-GAAP gap 10, smoothness 5. A measure that cannot be computed (Beneish for a bank, say) drops out and the rest is rescaled, so every company is scored on what applies to it.

Computed from the companies’ own XBRL filings (latest fiscal year) by published formulas; a statistical screen, not an audit or an accusation. A low score means the reported profit shows more of the markers of managed or low-quality earnings than its peers. Not investment advice.
