Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

To the Plan Administrator and Plan Participants of
Carpenter Technology 401(k) Retirement Plan



Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Carpenter Technology 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021


1.  Description of the Plan
 
The following description of the Carpenter Technology 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides general information.  A more complete description of the Plan's provisions can be found in the plan document, which is available to participants upon request from Carpenter Technology Corporation (the "Company" or the "Plan Sponsor").
 
General
The Plan is a profit-sharing and stock bonus plan which covers substantially all domestic non-union employees of the Company, as well as a certain population of union employees of the Company.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Contributions

 
Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of annual compensation on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, as defined by the plan document.  The combined contributions cannot exceed 100% of annual compensation on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis.  Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions, which are additional pre-tax contributions.  Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollover distributions from other qualified benefit plans.  Participant contributions to the Plan are recorded in the period that payroll deductions are made from the participants.  The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby all new eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. Automatically enrolled participants have their deferral rate set at 3% of eligible compensation (set at 4% of eligible compensation effective January 1, 2023). Deferrals will automatically increase by 1% annually and will continue to increase 1% annually until a maximum of 15%. The Company contributes an amount equal to 3% of each participant's base pay and a matching contribution of up to 6%, as defined by the plan document.  Participants direct the investment of all contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.  Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limitations.
 
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company's contribution on behalf of the participant, and an allocation of plan earnings or losses based on account balances, as defined by the plan document.  When applicable, participants are charged transaction fees. Participants invested in the Carpenter Technology Stock Fund are charged an administrative fee based on the fund balance.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.
 
Vesting
 
All contributions and plan earnings or losses thereon are immediately and fully vested and non-forfeitable.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2022 and 2021

Notes Receivable from Participants
 Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 minus the amount of the highest outstanding loan balance on any plan loan during the preceding twelve months, or 50% of their vested account balance minus the current outstanding balance on any other plan loan.  Terms range from one to five years for a general purpose loan, and one to ten years for a primary residence loan.  The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at rates that range from 4.25% to 8.00% at December 31, 2022, which represent the Prime Rate on the last business day of the month preceding the month in which the loan was distributed plus 1%.  Principal and interest are paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits
 
Benefits paid to participants include participant withdrawals and participant distributions.  Participant withdrawals are withdrawals taken while an active employee of the Company and include hardship withdrawals, non-hardship withdrawals, and withdrawals after age 59½.  Participant withdrawals are subject to certain restrictions as defined by the plan document.  Upon termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or other reasons, participants are eligible to receive a lump sum distribution.  A participant may elect to defer such distribution provided the account balance is at least $5,000.  A participant must take the first required minimum distribution ("RMD") for the year in which they turn age 72 (70½ if they reached 70½ before January 1, 2020) by December 31 of that year. The payment of benefits from the Carpenter Technology Stock Fund is made in shares of Carpenter Technology Corporation common stock or cash, at the participant's option.  All other payments of benefits are made in cash.

Subsequent Events
 
The Plan has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through June 27, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

The Secure 2.0 Act of 2022 was signed into law on December 29, 2022. This legislation includes a vast array of provisional changes to retirement plans, becoming effective in 2023 and beyond. Plan management is evaluating the impact of the adoption and implementation of this legislation on the Plan.

Transfers

The Plan had transfers in of $45,000 representing transfers to or from one or more other qualified benefit plans of the Plan Sponsor as a result of participant transfers between companies of the Plan Sponsor or other such events that may result in a change of plan eligibility.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Accounting
 
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual method of accounting.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
A portion of the Plan's assets are invested in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts through its investment in the Insight Investment Stable Value Fund within the Carpenter Technology Master Trust Fund ("Master Trust") and are reported at contract value. Contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Master Trust investment.

All other investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  See Note 3 for further discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income within the Master Trust is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net depreciation and interest in Master Trust income include the gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable from Participants
 
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Delinquent notes receivable are recorded as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
 
Administrative Expenses
 The Plan's assets are administered under a contract with The Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the "Trustee").  The Trustee invests funds received from contributions, investment sales, interest and dividend income and makes benefit payments to participants.  Transaction fees and certain administrative fees are paid by the participant.  The remaining administrative fees are netted against the investment income in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.  All other fees are paid by the Company and are excluded from these financial statements.
 
Payment of Benefits
    
 Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

3.  Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative guidance are described as follows:
 
Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Plan has the ability to access.
Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.  There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
 
Registered investment companies - Valued at closing price reported on the active market on which the individual funds are traded.  These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value ("NAV") and to transact at that price, and are considered to be actively traded.
 
Carpenter Technology Stock Fund held within the Master Trust - Valued at closing price of the Plan Sponsor's common stock as reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.
 
Short-term investment funds held within the Master Trust – Valued based on quoted market values reported on active markets on which the individual securities are traded.
Common collective trusts - Valued at the NAV of units of a collective trust. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value and is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities.

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observables and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

4.  Investment in the Master Trust
 
The Master Trust is comprised of two funds – the Carpenter Technology Stock Fund and the Insight Investment Stable Value Fund.
 
Carpenter Technology Stock Fund - The Carpenter Technology Stock Fund holds investments in the common stock of the Plan Sponsor. These investments are reported at fair value.
 
Insight Investment Stable Value Fund - This fund holds investments in a short-term investment fund which is reported at fair value, as well as investments held in fully benefit-responsive guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") which are reported at contract value. See Note 5 for further discussion of fully benefit-responsive GICs.

December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Master Trust, which is administered by the Trustee, holds the investments of these funds for the Plan Sponsor's participating plans, which include the Plan, the Amega West 401(k) Retirement Plan (through September 1, 2021), and the Latrobe Company 401(k) Retirement Plan. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of trust assets for investment and administrative purposes. Although the assets of each plan are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintains separate supporting records for the purpose of tracking the individual activity of each plan. The investments held in the Master Trust are accounted for at the plan level since the participating plans have a divided interest in assets held in the Master Trust.

The net assets of the Master Trust and the Plan's divided interest in the Master Trust as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

5.  Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts
 
The Insight Investment Stable Value Fund within the Master Trust holds a portfolio of synthetic GICs. The Plan owns the underlying assets of the synthetic GICs. These contracts meet the fully benefit-responsive investment contract criteria and therefore are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because this is the amount received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents contributions made under each contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

The synthetic GICs held by the Plan include wrapper contracts that provide a guarantee that the credit rate will not fall below 0%. Cash flow volatility (for example, timing of the benefit payments) as well as asset underperformance can be passed through to the Plan through adjustments to future contract crediting rates. Formulas are provided in each contract that adjust renewal crediting rates to recognize the difference between the fair value and the book value of the underlying assets. Crediting rates are reviewed periodically for resetting.

The Plan's ability to receive amounts due in accordance with fully benefit-responsive synthetic GICs is dependent on the third-party issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations. The issuer's ability to meet its contractual obligations may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments.

Certain events might limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the contract issuer. These events may be different under each contract. Examples of such events include the following: (1) the Plan's failure to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") or the failure of the trust to be tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the IRC, (2) premature termination of the contracts, (3) plan termination or merger into an unaffiliated plan, (4) changes to the Plan's prohibition on competing investment options, and (5) bankruptcy of the Plan Sponsor or other Plan Sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spinoffs of a subsidiary) that significantly affect the Plan's normal operations.

No events are probable of occurring that might limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the contract issuers and that also would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the participants.

In addition, certain events allow the issuer to terminate the contracts with the Plan and settle at an amount different from contract value. Those events may be different under each contract. Examples of such events include the following: (1) an uncured violation of the Plan's investment guidelines, (2) a breach of material obligation under the contract, (3) a material misrepresentation, and (4) a material amendment to the agreements without the consent of the issuer.

December 31, 2022 and 2021

6.   Related Party and Party-in-Interest Transactions
 
The Plan issues loans to participants, which are secured by the participants' account balances. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest. Fees paid by the Plan in 2022 for loan services totaled $24,000.

Certain of the Plan's investments are managed by the Trustee, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  Fees paid by the Plan in 2022 to the Trustee for investment management services related to these funds totaled $666,000.
 
The Carpenter Technology Stock Fund held in the Master Trust at December 31, 2022 is invested in shares of the Plan Sponsor, therefore these transactions qualify as related party and party-in-interest transactions.  Fees paid to the Trustee by the Plan in 2022 for investment management services related to this fund were $12,000.  In addition, total purchases and sales in 2022, at market value, were $7,051,000 and $8,775,000, respectively.  The Plan's interest in the Carpenter Technology Stock Fund included 497,836 and 539,361 of equivalent shares with a share price of $36.94 and $29.19 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Certain administrative functions of the Plan are performed by officers or employees of the Company.  No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan.
7.   Plan Termination
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of plan termination, participants will remain fully vested in their accounts.
8.   Tax Status
 
The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated November 7, 2017 that the Plan and related trust are designed in compliance with Section 401(a) of the IRC.  Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2022, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2019.

December 31, 2022 and 2021

9.   Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Plan had investments of $159,292,000 concentrated in two funds and $118,737,000 concentrated in one fund, respectively.
