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 (“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, 2021 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 nine months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 or any other 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.

Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).  This new update provides optional expedients to ease the potential burden of accounting for the effects of reference rate reform as it pertains to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued.  These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to modifications made or relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the pronouncement.  

Note 3.  Revenues from Contracts with Customers

Contract Balances

As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, accounts receivable with customers were $58,517 and $80,301, respectively. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 were $553 and $739, respectively, and are presented within accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Contract liabilities are recognized when the Company has received consideration from a customer to transfer goods or services at a future point in time when the Company performs under the purchase order or contract.  As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, no contract liabilities have been recorded except for $12,829 and $10,954, respectively, for the Titanium Metals Corporation agreement, as described in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and $1,060 and $630, respectively, for accrued product returns.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is disaggregated by end-use markets.  The following table includes a breakdown of net revenues to the markets served by the Company for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022.

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2021		2022		2021		2022

Total product revenue		82,504		123,670		226,712		328,971
Other revenue		5,639		6,495		15,671		17,680
Net revenues	$	88,143	$	130,165	$	242,383	$	346,651

Note 4.  Inventories

The following is a summary of the major classes of inventories:

	September 30,		June 30,
	2021		2022
Raw Materials	$	22,711	$	26,819
Work-in-process		138,609		231,864
Finished Goods		85,797		83,939
Other		1,378		1,466
	$	248,495	$	344,088

Note 5.  Income Taxes

Income tax (benefit) expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to state income taxes, differing tax rates on foreign earnings and discrete tax items that impacted income tax expense (benefit) in these periods.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 24.8% on $20,757 of income before income taxes compared to 39.6% on income before income taxes of $699 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was 25.0% on $38,330 of income before income taxes compared to 19.1% on loss before income taxes of $(13,885) for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.  Income tax expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the lower stock price at the time of vesting of restricted stock as compared to the price when the stock was granted, which resulted in the Company not being able to fully utilize the deferred tax assets attributable to those shares.  The unfavorable tax expense resulted in a lower effective tax in a period in which the Company incurred a loss before income taxes.

Note 6.  Pension and Post-retirement Benefits

Components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Nine Months Ended June 30,
	Pension Benefits				Other Benefits				Pension Benefits				Other Benefits

Interest cost		1,808		1,923		572		559		5,424		5,769		1,718		1,677

Amortizations		1,956		51		—		(60)		5,868		153		—		(180)

The Company contributed $4,500 to Company-sponsored U.S. pension plans and $2,018 to its other post-retirement benefit plans for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The Company expects to make contributions of $1,500 to its U.S. pension plan and $1,441 to its other post-retirement benefit plan for the remainder of fiscal 2022.  Additional contributions may be made to the U.S. pension plan as part of the Company’s capital allocation strategy, however, the amounts and timing have not yet been determined.  

Note 7.  Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

Legal

The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, commercial, asbestos, employment and federal and/or state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative actions. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.

Environmental

The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources to close and provide post-closure environmental monitoring and care for certain areas of its Kokomo, Indiana and Mountain Home, North Carolina facilities, respectively.  

The Company is required to, among other things, 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 testing and corrective action by the Company could be required.  The Company is unable to estimate the costs of any further corrective action at these sites, if required. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the costs of any future corrective action at these or any other current or former sites would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued $566 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, of which $496 is included in long-term obligations as it is not due within one year.  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 post-closure monitoring.

9

Expected maturities of post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) included in long-term obligations are as follows at June 30, 2022.

Note 8.  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 (20 years) at prices established by the terms of the agreement. TIMET may exercise an option to have up to an additional ten million 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 first priority 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 hot-rolling 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 liquidated damages of $25,000 and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages. Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur. Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract.  The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 9.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

The Company has goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles.  Customer relationships have a definite life and are amortized over a period of fifteen years.  The Company reviews customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted 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.  

Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), and more frequently if impairment indicators exist.  If the carrying value of a trademark exceeds its fair value (determined using an income approach, 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.  The impairment test for goodwill is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment loss in the event that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value.  Any goodwill impairment loss recognized would not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  No impairment has been recognized as of June 30, 2022.  

During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, there were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill.

Amortization of customer relationships and other intangibles was $119 and $225 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $350 and $547 for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.  The following represents a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

Note 10.  Net Income (Loss) 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.  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.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

Stock Options

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates 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 dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectations regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant.   The following assumptions were used for grants during fiscal year 2022:

	Fair		Dividend		Risk-free		Expected		Expected
Grant Date	Value		Yield		Interest Rate		Volatility		Life
November 23, 2021	$	15.02	2.00	%	1.22	%	45	%	5	years

The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 was $301 and $231, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 was $882 and $768, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2022 was $886, to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.23 years.

Note 12.  Dividend

In the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, the Company declared and paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The first quarter dividend was paid on December 15, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2021, the second quarter dividend was paid on March 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2022 and the third quarter dividend was paid on June 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2022.  The dividend cash pay-outs were $2,811, $2,776 and $2,742 for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, respectively.

On July 28, 2022, 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 September 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2022.

Note 13.  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. 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.  The valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued.

Fixed income securities are held as individual bonds and are valued as either level 1 assets as they are quoted in active markets or level 2 assets.  U.S and International equities, and Other Investments held in the Company’s pension plan are held as individual bonds or in mutual funds and common / collective funds which are valued using net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund.  The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding.  These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with guidance included in ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).

Note 14.  Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component

Comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) items, including pension, post-retirement and foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily caused by the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling, net of tax when applicable.

Recent geopolitical events with the Russian invasion of Ukraine have prompted economic sanctions on Russia.  Prior to the war in Ukraine, the Company sourced approximately 95% of its nickel requirements from Canada with the remaining 5% from Russia.  In reaction to the Russian invasion into the Ukraine, the Company has ceased all future purchases of nickel from Russia as well as other

17

raw materials such as chrome.  At this time, the Company believes it has secured sufficient supply of raw materials from sources outside of Russia to meet its nickel requirements.

COVID-19 Pandemic

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.  The Company returned to profitability in the third quarter of  fiscal 2021 and has continued to expand profitability in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first nine months of fiscal 2022.  The Company expects continued increase in volume and profitability primarily driven by the expected continued recovery of the aerospace market.  The aerospace supply chain in particular was negatively impacted by the pandemic. Based upon published projections of aircraft engine builds, the Company currently expects monthly aerospace revenues to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of fiscal 2022.

Dividends Paid and Declared

In the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2022, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The first quarter dividend was paid on December 15, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2021, the second quarter dividend was paid on March 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2022 and the third quarter dividend was paid on June 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2022.  The total dividend cash pay-outs in each of the first, second and third quarters were approximately $2.8 million based on the number of shares outstanding.

On July 28, 2022, 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 September 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2022.  Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  

Capital Spending

During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, capital investment was $11.5 million, and total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2022 are expected to be approximately $15.0 million, which is lower than the previous estimate of $17.7 million due to equipment supply constraints. The Company does not expect any impact on operations as a result of these constraints.

Pension and Postretirement Plans

The Company’s U.S. pension glide path strategy, adopted in fiscal 2021, is in place with changes to the asset allocation including a customized liability-driven investing strategy, which is intended to reduce interest rate and equity risks. The Company expects significantly reduced volatility going forward related to the pension funding percentage (the U.S. pension plan is currently approximately 92% funded) and reduced pension and postretirement expense ($6.0 million less in fiscal year 2021 vs. 2022). As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the U.S. net pension liability was approximately $20.7 million, a reduction of $85.1 million below the $105.8 million on the balance sheet at the beginning of fiscal 2021. Inclusive of the retiree healthcare liability and U.K. pension asset, the net liability decrease is $98.1 million since the beginning of fiscal year 2021.

Volume and Pricing

Demand continues to improve and volumes continue to increase with 4.5 million pounds shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, representing a sequential increase of 4.7% and a year-over-year increase of 21.7%.  Aerospace volumes were 2.1 million pounds in the quarter, representing a sequential increase of 18.5% and a year-over-year increase of 58.2%.  This quarter’s aerospace volume was 83% of the pre-pandemic levels of the average fiscal 2019 volume (aerospace net sales were 95% of pre-pandemic 2019 average).  The Company continues to expect to return to fiscal 2019 monthly run-rate shipment levels by the end of fiscal 2022.  Chemical processing volume increased sequentially 1.4% and year-over-year 8.4% driven by continued recovery from the pandemic and higher capital spending in the chemical sector.  Industrial gas turbine shipments decreased sequentially (23.0)%, after last quarter’s sequential increase of 77%, and a (5.0)% decrease year-over-year, due to timing of certain shipments. Other markets sequentially increased 75.0%, due to lower shipments into the flue-gas desulphurization market in the previous quarter, and year-over-year by 2.9%.  Overall, volumes are expected to continue to increase with the extremely high level of incoming orders.  

The Company has an ongoing strategy of increasing pricing and margins, recognizing the high-value, differentiated products and services it offers. The Company implemented multiple price increases for contract and non-contract business as market conditions improved and in response to higher inflation.  Customer long-term agreements have adjustors for specific raw material prices and for changes in the producer price index to help cover general inflationary items.  The product average selling price per pound in the third

18

quarter of fiscal 2022 was $27.23, which increased 7.1% sequentially and 23.1% year-over-year due to the noted price increases, raw material adjustors as well as a higher value product mix.  

Set forth below are selected data relating to the Company’s net revenues, gross profit, backlog, the 30-day average nickel price per pound as reported by the London Metals Exchange and a breakdown of net revenues, shipments and average selling prices to the markets served by the Company for the periods shown.

This quarter showed significant profitability leverage with increasing volumes to 4.5 million pounds shipped, showing continued traction and momentum as volumes recover along with rising raw material tailwinds. Gross margins continued to increase with a 25.5% gross margin this quarter compared to 20.0% last quarter (a 550 basis point improvement) and 15.5% in the third quarter of last year (a 1,000 basis point improvement). The Company has implemented focus initiatives designed to increase pricing and reduce costs. These initiatives, combined with improved volumes compared to the same quarter last year, has driven growth in gross margins and profitability at a much lower volume breakeven point. The Company previously needed to sell more than five million pounds to be profitable. Recent quarters demonstrate the Company’s successful reduction of its breakeven point by roughly 25% with the current mix.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $130.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 47.7% from the same period of fiscal 2021 due to increases in volume in key markets, combined with increases in average selling price per pound in all markets.  The 21.7% increase in pounds sold is due to the demand recovery and strong sales in the aerospace market, which increased by 58.2%, as well as the chemical processing market, which increased by 8.4% from the third quarter of fiscal 2021.  The product average selling price was $27.23 per pound in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 23.1% from the same period of fiscal 2021.   The increase in product average selling price per pound largely reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.40 and price increases and other sales factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.03, along with a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.68.

The aerospace market has experienced increased demand as inventory throughout the aerospace supply chain continues to be replenished in response to the expected increase in engine build rates. Additionally, demand in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was depressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, that decreased demand for air travel resulting in decreased demand for new planes and maintenance parts. The increase in average selling price per pound largely reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.36 and price increases and other pricing factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.97, partially offset by a lower-value product mix, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.93.

Volume to the chemical processing market was higher as industrial activity increased with economies continuing to reopen from pandemic shutdowns as well as increases in oil prices resulting in expanded capital expenditures in the sector.  The increase in average selling price per pound reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.26 and price increases and other sales factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.69 per pound, along with a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.56.

The decrease in volume in the industrial gas turbine market is largely attributable to the timing of some lower-valued shipments that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 which resulted in a lower volume available to ship in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.  The increase in average selling price per pound reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.57 and price increases and other sales factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.44 per pound,  along with higher-value product mix which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $2.45.

The average selling price per pound increase to other markets reflects higher market prices of raw materials and other pricing factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.43 and $1.51, respectively, partially offset by a lower-value product mix, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.97.  

Other Revenue.  The increase in other revenue was due primarily to increased sales of scrap material.  

Cost of Sales. The 10.0% decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to variable cost saving measures that enable the Company to minimize the increase in costs in periods of higher net revenues.  Additionally, higher volumes sold during the quarter improved the utilization of fixed costs and eliminated the need for fixed costs to be directly expensed, as was the case in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, which had $2.0 million of costs directly expensed to Cost of Sales.  

Gross Profit.  As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $33.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of $19.6 million from the same period of fiscal 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased to 25.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to 15.5% in the same period of fiscal 2021.  The third quarter of fiscal 2021 was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as volumes were significantly reduced.  

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 9.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 13.0% for the same period of fiscal 2021, largely driven by higher net revenues.  Investments in consulting costs related to information system improvements as well as general inflation were the primary drivers of the increased expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.  Additionally, the Company increased its reserves on accounts receivable which also contributed to the increase in expense.  

Nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income).  The difference in nonoperating retirement benefit expense was primarily driven by a favorable actuarial valuation of the U.S. pension plan liability as of September 30, 2021 caused by a higher-than-expected return on plan assets coupled with a higher discount rate.  The amortization of this favorable valuation is recorded as a benefit to nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income).

Income Taxes. The increase in income tax expense was driven primarily by a difference in income (loss) before income taxes of $20.1 million.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $346.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, an increase of 43.0% from $242.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2021 due primarily to volume increases in key markets and average selling price per pound increases in all markets.  The 27.0% increase in pounds sold is due to the demand recovery and strong sales in the aerospace market, which increased by 69.3%, as well as the chemical processing and industrial gas turbine markets, which increased by 21.4% and 9.8%, respectively, from the first nine months of fiscal 2021.  The product average selling price was $25.79 per pound in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, an increase of 14.3% in the same period of fiscal 2021.   The increase in product average selling price per pound largely reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.31, partially offset by a lower-value product mix, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.09.

23

The aerospace market has experienced increased demand as inventory throughout the aerospace supply chain continues to be replenished in response to the expected increase in engine build rates. Additionally, demand in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was depressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, that decreased demand for air travel resulting in decreased demand for new planes and maintenance parts.  The increase in average selling price per pound largely reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.15 partially offset with a lower-value product mix, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.17.  

Volume to the chemical processing market was higher as industrial activity increased with economies continuing to reopen from pandemic shutdowns as well as increases in oil prices resulting in expanded capital expenditures in the sector.  The increase in average selling price per pound reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.27, partially offset by a lower-value product mix, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.51.

The higher volume to the industrial gas turbine market was a result of overall increased demand in the market as well as timing of deliveries to one of the Company’s larger customers.  The increase in average selling price per pound reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.39, partially offset by a lower-value product mix, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.24.

The decrease in volume to other markets was primarily attributable to lower shipments into the flue-gas desulphurization market which also contributed to an improved product mix.  The average selling price per pound increase reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $4.03 as well as a higher-value product mix and other pricing factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.53.  

Other Revenue.   The 12.8% increase in other revenue was primarily due to increased sales of scrap material.  

Cost of Sales.   The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to variable cost saving measures that enable the Company minimize the increase in costs in periods of higher net revenues.  Additionally, higher volumes sold during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 eliminated the need for fixed costs be directly expensed, as was the case first nine months of fiscal 2021, which had $10.7 million of costs directly expensed to cost of sales.    

Gross Profit.   As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $74.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, an increase of $51.4 million from the same period of fiscal 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased to 21.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 as compared to 9.5% in the same period of fiscal 2021 which continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 10.1 % for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to 13.4% for the same period of fiscal 2021, largely driven by a 43.0% increase in net revenues.  Higher foreign exchange losses as well as general inflation were the primary drivers of the increased expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2022.  Additionally, some temporary cost containment initiatives that were in place during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, were subsequently ended, which contributed to the higher expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2021.  

Nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income).  The $4.3 million difference in nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income) was primarily driven by a favorable actuarial valuation of the U.S. pension plan liability as of September 30, 2021 caused by a higher-than-expected return on plan assets coupled with a higher discount rate.  The amortization of this favorable valuation is recorded as a benefit to nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income).

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense was $9.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, a $12.2 million difference from an income tax benefit of $2.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2021, driven primarily by a difference in income (loss) before income taxes of $52.2 million.

Working Capital

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $339.3 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $100.7 million, or 42.2%, from $238.7 million at September 30, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from inventory increasing by $95.6 million and accounts receivable increasing by $21.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses increasing by $16.5 million during the same period.  The Company continued to build work-in-process inventory during the nine-month period in response to the rapidly growing backlog.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Comparative cash flow analysis

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.4 million at June 30, 2022, inclusive of $9.1 million that was held by foreign subsidiaries in various currencies, compared to $47.7 million at September 30, 2021.  Additionally, the Company had $46.5 million of borrowings against the line of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $57.6 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $40.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, a difference of $97.8 million.  Cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was driven by an increase in inventory of $98.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to a decrease in inventory of $18.5 million during the same period of fiscal 2021, and an increase in accounts receivable of $24.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2021. This was partially offset by net income of $28.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to net loss of $(11.2) million during the same period of fiscal 2021.  

Net cash used in investing activities was $11.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, which was higher than cash used in investing activities of $4.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2021 due to higher additions to property, plant and equipment.  Capital spending in fiscal 2022 reflects a more normal level of investment, however, below the rate of depreciation, after lower than historical levels of investment in fiscal 2021.  

Net cash provided by financing activities was $31.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, a difference of $41.3 million from cash used in financing activities of $9.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021.  This difference was primarily driven by a net borrowing of $46.5 million against the revolving line of credit during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, partially offset by share repurchases of $6.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to $0.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2021.  Dividends paid of $8.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 were comparable to same period of fiscal 2021.  

U.S. revolving credit facility

On October 19, 2020, the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and related Pledge and Security Agreement with certain other lenders (the “Security Agreement”, and, together with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Documents”).  The Credit Documents, which have a three-year term expiring in October 2023, replaced the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements, dated as of July 14, 2011, as amended, previously entered into between the Company, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and certain other lenders.  The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans in the maximum amount of $100.0 million, subject to a borrowing base and certain reserves. The Credit Agreement permits an increase in the maximum revolving loan amount from $100.0 million up to an aggregate amount of $170.0 million at the request of the borrower if certain conditions are met. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either JPMorgan’s “prime rate”, plus 1.25% - 1.75% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus 2.25% - 2.75% per annum (with a LIBOR floor of 0.5%).  As of June 30, 2022, the Credit Agreement had a $46.5 million balance.  

The Company must pay monthly, in arrears, a commitment fee of 0.425% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum as well as 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 covenant pertaining to fixed charge coverage ratios is only effective in the event the amount of excess availability under the revolver is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the maximum credit revolving loan amount and (ii) $12.5 million. The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met.  The Company may pay quarterly cash dividends up to $3.5 million per fiscal quarter so long as the Company is not in default under the Credit Documents.  As of June 30, 2022, the most recent required measurement date under the Credit Agreement, management believes the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. The Company currently believes it is not at material risk of not meeting its financial covenants over the next twelve months.

25

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement 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 (“TIMET”) to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement with TIMET (see discussion of TIMET at Note 8 in the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).  Borrowings under the Credit Documents are also secured by a pledge of a 100% equity interest in each of the Company’s direct foreign subsidiaries.

Future uses of liquidity

The Company’s sources of liquidity for the next twelve months are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on-hand and borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $9.4 million, an outstanding balance of $46.5 million on the U.S. revolving credit facility (described above) and total remaining borrowing availability against the revolving credit facility of approximately $53.5 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves.  Management believes that the resources described above will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures, any regular quarterly dividends declared and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.

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

● Funding operations;

● Capital spending;

● Dividends to stockholders; and

● Pension and postretirement plan contributions.

The Company expects to fund these uses of cash with existing cash on-hand, cash generated from net income over the next twelve months and additional borrowings from the revolving credit facility.  

Capital investment in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $11.5 million, and total forecasted capital spending in fiscal 2022 is expected to be $15.0 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 June 30, 2022. 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, 2021 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. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates.  

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of June 30, 2022, 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, 2021.

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 June 30, 2022.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of certain legal proceedings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 which risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

The risks described herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face.  New risk factors or risks that we currently deem immaterial emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact such risk factors might have on our business, financial condition and operating results, or the extent to which any such risk factor or combination of risk factors may impact our business, financial condition and operating results.  

Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine and the international community’s response have created substantial political and economic disruption, uncertainty and risk.

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions, increased cyber-attacks and social unrest in certain regions in which we operate. Although we do not have operations in Russia or Ukraine, we are continuing to monitor the situation and assessing its potential impact on our business.

Income Taxes

Note 5.  Income Taxes

Income tax (benefit) expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to state income taxes, differing tax rates on foreign earnings and discrete tax items that impacted income tax expense (benefit) in these periods.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 24.8% on $20,757 of income before income taxes compared to 39.6% on income before income taxes of $699 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was 25.0% on $38,330 of income before income taxes compared to 19.1% on loss before income taxes of $(13,885) for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.  Income tax expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was unfavorably impacted by the lower stock price at the time of vesting of restricted stock as compared to the price when the stock was granted, which resulted in the Company not being able to fully utilize the deferred tax assets attributable to those shares.  The unfavorable tax expense resulted in a lower effective tax in a period in which the Company incurred a loss before income taxes.

Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

Note 7.  Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

Legal

The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, commercial, asbestos, employment and federal and/or state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative actions. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.

Environmental

The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources to close and provide post-closure environmental monitoring and care for certain areas of its Kokomo, Indiana and Mountain Home, North Carolina facilities, respectively.  

The Company is required to, among other things, 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 testing and corrective action by the Company could be required.  The Company is unable to estimate the costs of any further corrective action at these sites, if required. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the costs of any future corrective action at these or any other current or former sites would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued $566 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, of which $496 is included in long-term obligations as it is not due within one year.  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 post-closure monitoring.

Expected maturities of post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) included in long-term obligations are as follows at June 30, 2022.

Deferred Revenue

Note 8.  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 (20 years) at prices established by the terms of the agreement. TIMET may exercise an option to have up to an additional ten million 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 first priority 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 hot-rolling 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 liquidated damages of $25,000 and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages. Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur. Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract.  The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

Note 9.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

The Company has goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles.  Customer relationships have a definite life and are amortized over a period of fifteen years.  The Company reviews customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted 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.  

Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), and more frequently if impairment indicators exist.  If the carrying value of a trademark exceeds its fair value (determined using an income approach, 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.  The impairment test for goodwill is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment loss in the event that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value.  Any goodwill impairment loss recognized would not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  No impairment has been recognized as of June 30, 2022.  

During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, there were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill.  

Amortization of customer relationships and other intangibles was $119 and $225 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $350 and $547 for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.  The following represents a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Note 10.  Net Income (Loss) 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.  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.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

Stock Options

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates 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 dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectations regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant.   The following assumptions were used for grants during fiscal year 2022:

	Fair		Dividend		Risk-free		Expected		Expected
Grant Date	Value		Yield		Interest Rate		Volatility		Life
November 23, 2021	$	15.02	2.00	%	1.22	%	45	%	5	years

The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 was $301 and $231, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 was $882 and $768, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2022 was $886, to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.23 years.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 13.  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. 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.  The valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued.

Fixed income securities are held as individual bonds and are valued as either level 1 assets as they are quoted in active markets or level 2 assets.  U.S and International equities, and Other Investments held in the Company’s pension plan are held as individual bonds or in mutual funds and common / collective funds which are valued using net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund.  The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding.  These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with guidance included in ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).
