NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with information reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC related to interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 or any interim period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haynes International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

 

Note 2.   New Accounting Pronouncements

 

No new accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company were issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Note 4.   Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and differing tax rates on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 28.1% compared to 34.8% in the same period of fiscal 2012.  This decrease is attributable to a change in law in the state of California related to apportionment.  This change resulted in an increase to the deferred tax asset which caused a favorable impact on the effective tax rate.

The Company contributed $3,750 to Company sponsored domestic pension plans, $1,129 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $242 to the U.K. pension plan for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The Company presently expects future contributions of $11,250 to its domestic pension plans, $3,871 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $728 to the U.K. pension plan for the remainder of fiscal 2013.

 

Note 6.   Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

 

The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, employment and intellectual property matters. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty; however, based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that such costs will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company is currently, and has in the past been, subject to claims involving personal injuries allegedly relating to its products. For example, the Company is presently involved in two actions involving welding rod-related injuries, which were filed in California state court against numerous manufacturers, including the Company, in May 2006 and February 2007, respectively, alleging that the welding-related products of the defendant manufacturers harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese. The Company believes that it has defenses to these allegations and that, if the Company were to be found liable, the cases would not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, to close and to provide post-closure monitoring and care for certain areas at the Kokomo facility previously used for the storage and disposal of wastes, some of which are classified as hazardous under applicable regulations. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1988 for the South Landfill at the Kokomo facility, and post-closure monitoring and care is ongoing there. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1999 for the North Landfill at the Kokomo facility, and post-closure monitoring and care are permitted and ongoing there. In fiscal 2007, IDEM issued a single post-closure permit applicable to both the North and South Landfills, which contains monitoring and post-closure care requirements. In addition, IDEM required that a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, Facility Investigation, or RFI, be conducted in order to further evaluate one area of concern and one solid waste management unit. The RFI commenced in fiscal 2008 and is ongoing.

 

The Company has also received permits from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, or NCDENR, to close and provide post-closure monitoring and care for the hazardous waste lagoon at its Mountain Home, North Carolina facility. The lagoon area has been closed and is currently undergoing post-closure monitoring and care. The Company is required to monitor groundwater and to continue post-closure maintenance of the former disposal areas at each site. As a result, the Company is aware of elevated levels of certain contaminants in the groundwater and additional corrective action by the Company could be required.

 

On August 3, 2012, the Company received an information request from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The information requested relates to the Company’s compliance with laws relating to air quality, and the Company has responded to the request and is awaiting further communication from the agency.

 

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Company has accrued $1,071 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities. Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the 30 year post-closure monitoring

period referred to above. At each fiscal year end, or earlier if necessary, the Company evaluates the accuracy of the estimates for these monitoring and maintenance costs for the upcoming fiscal year. The accrual was based upon the undiscounted amount of the obligation of $1,254 which was then discounted using an appropriate discount rate.

 

Note 7.   Deferred Revenue

 

On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a twenty-year agreement to provide conversion services to Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET”) for up to ten million pounds of titanium metal annually. TIMET paid the Company a $50,000 up-front fee and will also pay the Company for its processing services during the term of the agreement at prices established by the terms of the agreement.  TIMET may exercise an option to have ten million additional pounds  of titanium converted annually, provided that it offers to loan up to $12,000 to the Company for certain capital expenditures which may be required to expand capacity.  In addition to the volume commitment, the Company has granted TIMET a security interest in its four-high steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements.  The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing).  The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium conversion services to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the Conversion Services Agreement.  The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the upfront fee.  The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. The portion of the upfront fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Note 8.         Intangible Assets

 

The Company has patents, trademarks and other intangibles. As the patents have a definite life, they are amortized over lives ranging from two to fourteen years. The Company reviews patents for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a patent may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the patent asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

As the trademarks have an indefinite life, the Company tests them for impairment at least annually as of August 31 (the annual impairment testing date). If the carrying value exceeds the fair value (determined by calculating a fair value based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist, resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. No impairment was recognized in the years ended September 30, 2011 or 2012 because the fair value exceeded the carrying values. The Company also has non-compete agreements with remaining lives of 2 to 3 years.

 

Amortization of the patents, non-competes and other intangibles was $112 and $105 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Note 9.   Net Income Per Share

 

The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

 

Basic and diluted net income per share were computed as follows:

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Restricted Stock Plan

 

On February 23, 2009, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan that reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance.  Grants of restricted stock are rights to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee may set restrictions on certain grants based on the achievement of specific performance goals, and vesting of grants to participants may also be time-based.

 

Restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the end of the vesting

period or if the performance goal is not met, if applicable.  The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goal will be achieved. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The plan provides for the adjustment of the number of shares covered by an outstanding grant and the maximum number of shares of restricted stock that may be granted under the plan in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event.  Holders of outstanding shares of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of common stock.

 

On November 20, 2012,  November 26, 2012, and December 10, 2012, the Company granted 31,950, 3,000 and 1,100 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees will vest on the third anniversary of their grant date, provided that (a) the recipient is still an employee with the Company and (b) the Company has met a three year net income performance goal, if applicable. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors will vest on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of grant or (b) the failure of such non-employee director to be re-elected at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company as a result of such non-employee director being excluded from the nominations for any reason other than cause. The fair value of the grants were $47.96, $47.62 and $48.39, respectively, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the grant.

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has two stock option plans that authorize the granting of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and non-employee directors for the purchase of a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The original option plan was adopted in August 2004 pursuant to the plan of reorganization and provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In January 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a second option plan that provides for options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each plan provides for the adjustment of the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, options granted under the option plans are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest 33 1/3% per year over three years from the grant date.

 

The fair value of option grants was estimated as of the date of the grant. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates, expected forfeitures and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards. The expected forfeiture rate is based upon historical experience. The

dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant.  Valuation of future grants under the Black-Scholes model will include a dividend yield. The following assumptions were used for grants in the first quarter of fiscal 2012:

On November 20, 2012 and December 10, 2012, the Company granted 35,600 and 1,800 options, respectively, at an exercise price of $47.96 and $48.39, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock the day of the grant. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, options exercised were 30,545 options, and 5,801 options were forfeited/canceled.

 

The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 was $137 and $102, respectively.  The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2012 was $844, to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.98 years.

Note 11.  Dividend

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend. The dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was paid December 17, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 3, 2012.  The dividend cash pay-out was $2,710 for the quarter based on the number of shares outstanding.

 

10



 

On January 31, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend is payable March 15, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2013.

 

Note 12.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value.

 

·                                Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

·                                Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs  are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

·                                Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally-generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. A portion of the Company’s pension plan assets are in a common collective trust that is considered within Level 2.  To determine the fair value of these assets, the Company uses the quoted market prices of the underlying assets of the common collective trust.

 

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012:

Business Overview

 

Haynes International, Inc. (“Haynes” or “the Company”) is one of the world’s largest producers of high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company is focused on developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing technologically advanced, high-performance alloys, which are sold primarily in the aerospace, chemical processing and land-based gas turbine industries. The Company’s products consist of high-temperature resistant alloys, or HTA products, and corrosion-resistant alloys, or CRA products. HTA products are used by manufacturers of equipment that is subjected to extremely high temperatures, such as jet engines for the aerospace market, gas turbine engines used for power generation and waste incineration and industrial heating equipment. CRA products are used in applications that require resistance to very corrosive media found in chemical processing, power plant emissions control and hazardous waste treatment. Management believes Haynes is one of four principal producers of high-performance alloy products in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company also produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, and in slab, bar, billet and wire forms.

 

The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Arcadia, Louisiana; and Mountain Home, North Carolina. The Kokomo facility specializes in flat products, the Arcadia facility specializes in tubular products, and the Mountain Home facility specializes in wire products. The Company’s products are sold primarily through its direct sales organization, which includes 13 service and/or sales centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. All of these centers are Company-operated.

 

Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement in the Arcadia, Louisiana Operation

 

As of December 19, 2012 the eligible employees of the Arcadia, Louisiana manufacturing facility ratified and are now covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the United Steelworkers of America which will expire December 19, 2015.  The agreement includes an upfront payment of approximately three hundred thousand dollars, which was charged to expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Capital Spending

 

Management continues to believe in the long-term growth potential of the aerospace, land-based gas turbine and chemical processing markets. Therefore, the Company is continuing to implement the previously announced capital spending projects in line with plans to meet the expected long-term growth requirements of those target markets.  Capital spending in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was approximately $9.0 million and the forecasts for capital spending in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 are approximately $70.0 million and $39.0 million, respectively. The capital spending planned for fiscal 2013 of approximately $70.0 million includes $19.0 million for the Arcadia tubular project, $19.0 million for the Kokomo flat product project, $10.0 million for the processing and service center upgrades, $4.0 million for the information systems upgrade project and the remaining $18.0 million for additional enhancements and upgrades of current facilities and equipment.  The capital spending anticipated for fiscal 2014 of $39.0 million is expected to include $14.0 million to complete the Arcadia tubular project, $2.0 million to complete the Kokomo flat product project, $7.0 million to complete the processing center and service center upgrade, $2.0 million to complete the information system upgrade and the remaining $14.0 million for the continuing upgrade of existing equipment and facilities.

 

Capital spending in fiscal 2012 was $25.9 million, which included $15.2 million for ongoing projects such as upgrades to the Company’s four-high Steckel rolling mill, electro slag remelt operations, sheet finishing operations and research and development equipment. In addition, project spending for the information technology system upgrade, Arcadia tubular and Kokomo flat product projects in fiscal 2012 were $3.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

 

The actual and planned capital investments of approximately $135 million over the three year-period of fiscal 2012 through 2014 are expected to allow the Company to increase capacity, enhance product quality, reduce costs and improve working capital management. The Company anticipates that these significant investments will help the Company improve efficiency and meet expected long-term increasing customer demand for volume and quality improvements.

 

Dividends Paid and Declared

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend was paid December 17, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 3, 2012.  The dividend cash pay-out was approximately $2.7 million for the quarter based on the number of shares outstanding and equal to approximately $10.8 million on an annualized basis.

 

On January 31, 2013, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend is payable March 15, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2013.

In the first quarter of each fiscal year, the Company’s gross profit margin percentage is typically lower than the preceding quarter due to lower absorption of fixed manufacturing costs that do not decrease in proportion with decreased production levels. Production levels decrease in the first quarter due to the Company’s observance of seasonal holidays and planned equipment downtime for capital upgrades and maintenance projects.

 

For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, gross profit and net income were lower than anticipated primarily due to lower than anticipated net sales.  The lower net sales were a result of customers exercising increased caution in making purchases, which the Company attributes to ongoing uncertain economic conditions.  Gross profit margins and gross profit margin percentages declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 due to a combination of lower volumes across all markets and weaker pricing primarily in the commodity alloys.  In addition, from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 through the first quarter of fiscal 2013, service center transactional business volumes and prices declined due to increased competition and customers reducing inventory levels throughout the supply chain.

(1)             The Company defines backlog to include firm commitments from customers for delivery of product at established prices. Approximately 30% of the orders in the backlog at any given time include prices that are subject to adjustment based on changes in raw material costs. Historically, approximately 75% of the backlog orders have shipped within six months and approximately 90% have shipped within 12 months. The backlog figures do not reflect that portion of the business conducted at service and sales centers on a spot or “just-in-time” basis.

 

(2)             Represents the average price for a cash buyer as reported by the London Metals Exchange for the 30 days ending on the last day of the period presented.

 

Backlog was $211.7 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of approximately $11.1 million, or 5.0%, from $222.9 million at September 30, 2012. The backlog dollars declined during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a 5.5% decrease in backlog average selling price for the quarter, slightly offset by a small increase in backlog pounds.  The reduction in the backlog during the first quarter resulted from reduced order entry pricing and a slightly lower-valued mix of products in the backlog.  Order entry volumes were comparable to sales volumes in the first quarter, causing only a slight increase in backlog pounds.  The level of transactional business declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, after remaining relatively consistent through fiscal 2012.  Intermediate and large size, project-based orders continued at relatively low levels in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as experienced in fiscal 2012.

 

Management believes that the reduced level of both transactional and project-based orders has resulted from customers exercising caution in making purchases due to the current uncertain economic conditions associated with slow economic growth.  The backlog for the aerospace and land-based gas turbine markets declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Management believes the reduction is a result of customers adjusting their inventory levels within the supply chain.  In addition, backlog decreased in the “Other Markets” category as projects for flue-gas desulphurization were lower than anticipated due to economic and regulatory concerns, and in the oil and gas market, the company has not received additional orders for a specific project that is in production testing along with other materials.

Quarterly Performance

 

For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, net revenues decreased by $36.0 million from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, volume declined by 1.4 million pounds and net income decreased by $7.0 million during this period. Although a decline was anticipated in each of these categories from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, each category declined more than anticipated. The decline in earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was greater than previously expected due to lower than anticipated volume of pounds shipped combined with lower average selling prices per pound.

 

Outlook

 

Guidance

 

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 is expected to exceed the net income of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, but is expected to continue to be unfavorably impacted by the lower volumes and weaker pricing similar to that experienced during the first quarter. Due to the continued uncertainty of the economic environment, lack of visibility and continued lower level of order entry, management does not anticipate a recovery in the second quarter. However, certain macroeconomic trends may suggest a potential improvement in the second half of 2013.

 

Management expects net income for fiscal 2013 to be below net income of fiscal 2012. Due to the continued uncertainty of the economic environment, the amount of the decrease continues to be uncertain.

 

Working Capital

 

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $287.7 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $23.5 million or 7.6% from $311.2 million at September 30, 2012. This decrease of $23.5 million resulted primarily from accounts receivable decreasing from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. Inventory of finished goods increased during the quarter due to sales being lower than anticipated

 

16



 

and scrap inventory increased due to unfavorable scrap utilization due to lower levels of production and melting.  Working capital as a percentage of net revenues increased from the end of fiscal 2012 but is anticipated to improve with higher sales.

 

Competition and Pricing

 

The Company is experiencing increased price competition in the marketplace relative to fiscal 2012, particularly in commodity type alloys in mill-direct project business, from competitors that have the ability to produce both high-performance alloys and stainless steel flat products. This competition continues to require the Company to aggressively price project business orders in these markets, which has unfavorably impacted the Company’s gross profit margin and net income.  As mill-direct lead times are decreasing, downward pressure on prices for service center transactional business is also occurring.

 

If market conditions improve, pricing competition in the high-performance alloy industry may begin to ease in future quarters.  The Company continues to respond to this competition by increasing emphasis on service centers, offering value-added services, improving its cost structure and focusing on delivery times and reliability.

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $114.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 11.3% from $128.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.  Volume was 4.7 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 8.7% from 5.1 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2012.  The aggregate average selling price was $24.40 per pound in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 2.8% from $25.11 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2012.  Average selling price decreased due to lower raw material prices and increased competition especially in the commodity alloys, while volume decreased due to declining customer demand during uncertain economic conditions.  The Company’s consolidated backlog was $211.7 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of 5.0% from $222.9 million at September 30, 2012.  This decrease reflects a 5.5% decrease in backlog average selling price, slightly offset by a 0.6% increase in backlog pounds.

 

Sales to the aerospace market were $52.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 0.9% from $52.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2012, due to a 7.4% increase in volume offset by a 7.7% decrease in the average selling price per pound.  The increase in volume reflects the expected continued strength of the demand for these products as evidenced by the production schedules for new airplane builds.  The decrease in average selling price is due to lower raw material costs.

 

Sales to the chemical processing market were $26.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 11.5 % from $29.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2012, due to a 12.0% decrease in volume partially offset by a 0.7% increase in the average selling price per pound.  The decrease in volume is attributable to lower customer demand due to spending delays in the chemical processing industry.

 

Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $22.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 24.8% from $30.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2012, due to a decrease of 5.5% in the average selling price per pound combined with a 20.4% decrease in volume. The decrease in volume is due to lower levels of original equipment manufacturer activity and a lower level of maintenance spending by the Company’s customers. In addition, volumes decreased due to customers lowering inventory levels within the supply chain. The decrease in average selling price is due to increased competition, especially in commodity alloys.

 

Sales to “other markets” were $10.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 16.5% from $12.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2012, due to a 29.4% decrease in volume partially offset by an 18.2% increase in average selling price per pound.  The decrease in volume is due to certain project based orders being impacted by tax and fiscal policy.  The increase in the average selling price reflects a change to a higher value alloy mix shipped into the other markets category in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Other Revenue. Other revenue was $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of 30.9% from $3.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. The decrease is due to lower miscellaneous sales and increased reserves, partially offset by increased toll conversion sales.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $95.5 million, or 83.6% of net revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $105.4 million, or 81.8% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2012. Cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased by $9.8 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2012 primarily due to lower volumes,

 

18



 

partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.3 million (including payroll taxes) due to the upfront payment related to the ratification of the union agreement in Arcadia, Louisiana.

 

Gross Profit.      As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $18.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of $4.7 million from the same period of fiscal 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 16.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to 18.2% in the same period of fiscal 2012.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.   Selling, general and administrative expense was $9.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, flat from the same period of fiscal 2012.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 8.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 7.6% for the same period of fiscal 2012 due to decreased revenues.

 

Research and Technical Expense.   Research and technical expense was $0.9 million, or 0.8% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $0.8 million, or 0.6% of revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2012.

 

Operating Income.   As a result of the above factors, operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $8.1 million compared to operating income of $12.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.

 

Income Taxes.   Income taxes were an expense of $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of $2.2 million from an expense of $4.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was 28.1%, compared to 34.8% in the same period of fiscal 2012.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to a change in the California tax law that took effect in November, which increased the deferred tax asset and lowered tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 by $0.6 million.

 

Net Income.   As a result of the above factors, net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $5.8 million, a decrease of $2.6 million from net income of $8.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Comparative cash flow analysis

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity were cash on-hand and cash from operations, as detailed below.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $65.5 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $46.7 million at September 30, 2012.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.  Items contributing to the difference include cash provided by lower accounts receivable of $28.3 million which was $19.7 million higher than cash provided by accounts receivable in the same period of fiscal 2012, and cash used from inventory balances (net of foreign currency fluctuation) of $12.1 million was $7.5 million lower than cash used from inventory balances in the same period of fiscal 2012. Cash provided by operations was unfavorably impacted by net income of $5.8 million, compared to $8.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2012. Net cash used in investing activities was $9.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result of higher capital expenditures.  Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a $2.7 million dividend payment, consistent with the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

 

Future sources of liquidity

 

The Company’s sources of liquidity for fiscal 2013 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on-hand and, if needed, borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility.  The U.S. revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in a maximum amount of $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. At December 31, 2012, the Company had cash of $65.5 million, an outstanding balance of zero on the U.S. revolving credit facility and access to a total of approximately $120.0 million under the U.S. revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base and certain reserves. Management believes that the resources described above will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.

 

U.S. Revolving Credit Facility

 

The Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), successor by merger to Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central) (“Wachovia”), entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with certain other lenders thereto with an effective date of July 14, 2011. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement is $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain

 

19



 

reserves. The Amended Agreement permits an increase in the maximum revolving loan amount from $120.0 million up to an aggregate amount of $170.0 million at the request of the borrowers. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either Wells Fargo’s “prime rate”, plus up to 0.75% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up to 2.0% per annum.  As of December 31, 2012, the U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of zero. In addition, the Company must pay monthly in arrears a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay 1.5% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of all issued letters of credit, plus customary fees for issuance, amendments and processing. The Company is subject to certain covenants as to fixed charge coverage ratios and other customary covenants, including covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the granting of liens and the sale of assets. The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met. As of December 31, 2012, the most recent required measurement date under the Amended Agreement, the Company was in compliance with those covenants. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on July 14, 2016. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company, including the equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding the four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to Titanium Metals Corporation to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement with TIMET (see discussion of TIMET at Note 7). The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of a 65% equity interest in each of the Company’s direct foreign subsidiaries.

 

Future Uses of Liquidity

 

The Company’s primary uses of cash over the next twelve months are expected to consist of expenditures related to:

 

·                  Funding operations;

 

·                  Capital spending;

 

·                  Pension plan funding; and

 

·                  Dividends to stockholders.

 

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company had capital spending of $9.0 million, which is consistent with the $70.0 million of capital spending the Company previously forecasted for fiscal 2013.

(1)             Taxes are not included in the table.  As of December 31, 2012, $339 related to uncertain tax liability recorded in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, is excluded as it is not possible to determine in which period the tax liability might be paid out.

(2)             As of December 31, 2012, the revolver balance was zero, therefore no interest is due. However, the Company is obligated to the Bank for unused line fees and quarterly management fees.

(3)             The Company has a funding obligation to contribute $89,044 to the domestic pension plan and expects its U.K. subsidiary to contribute $970 to the U.K. pension plan. These payments will be tax deductible. All benefit payments under the domestic pension plan are provided by the plan and not the Company.

(4)             Represents expected post-retirement benefits only based upon anticipated timing of payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2012. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that information since the end of fiscal 2012.

 

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As of December 31, 2012, there were no material changes in the market risks described in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness and the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
