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 (“GAAP”), and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with information reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP 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 which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 or any interim period.

Principles of Consolidation

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

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 virus as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  The rapid spread of the virus, and the continuously evolving responses to combat it, have had a significant negative impact on the global economy and the Company’s business.  

COVID-19 related disruptions negatively impacted the Company’s financial and operating results in the second half of fiscal 2020 and the first half of fiscal 2021 and could continue to materially affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for an extended period of time.  In particular, the pandemic negatively impacted the aerospace supply chain which is currently absorbing significant downward adjustments to its forecasted demand. The Company has accepted, with select aerospace customers, requests to delay the shipment of orders and in some cases cancellations.  Markets other than aerospace have also been depressed with uncertainty and tight cash management impacting customer ordering patterns. The Company has taken significant actions to position itself to manage through the current market disruption caused by COVID-19.
