Description of Business

Haynes International, Inc. (“Haynes”, “the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is one of the world’s largest developers, producers, and distributors of technologically advanced high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys. The Company’s products, which are sold primarily into the aerospace, chemical processing and industrial gas turbine industries, 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 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 waste treatment. Haynes high-performance alloy sales in sheet, coil and plate forms, in the aggregate, represented approximately 64% of net product revenues in fiscal 2023. The Company also produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, which represented approximately 12% of fiscal 2023 net product revenues and in wire form, which represented approximately 6% of fiscal 2023 net product revenues, and in slab, bar and billet forms, which, in the aggregate, represented approximately 18% of fiscal 2023 net product revenues.

High-performance alloys are characterized by highly engineered, often proprietary, metallurgical formulations primarily of nickel, cobalt and other metals with complex physical properties. The complexity of the manufacturing process for high-performance alloys is reflected in the Company’s relatively high average selling price per pound, compared to the average selling price of other metals, such as carbon steel sheet, stainless steel sheet and aluminum. The high-performance alloy industry has significant barriers to entry such as the combination of (i) demanding end-user specifications, (ii) a multi-stage manufacturing process and (iii) the technical sales, marketing and manufacturing expertise required to develop and sell new applications.

COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 related disruptions negatively impacted the Company’s financial and operating results in fiscal 2021. In particular, the pandemic negatively impacted the aerospace supply chain; however, markets other than aerospace were also depressed during that time period.
