Increased Productivity Improvement Benefits Target from $40 million to $60 million
Expanded Recycling Services Platform with Acquisition of ScrapSource LLC
Schnitzer Board Declares Quarterly Dividend
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 5, 2023--Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCHN) today reported results for its first quarter of fiscal 2023 ended November 30, 2022.
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights
The Company's performance in the quarter reflected lower demand and lower average selling prices for recycled metals and finished steel products. Demand softened throughout the quarter, influenced by macro concerns, including slower growth, inflationary pressures, and steel inventory destocking. Lower prices led to tighter supply flows and compression of metal spreads. Ferrous and nonferrous sales volumes declined sequentially reflecting the impact of the disruptions in Everett and Oakland, the tighter supply flows and several ferrous shipments slipping into December. In the first quarter, the Company achieved nearly the full run rate of benefits from the $40 million of cost reduction and productivity initiatives previously announced in October, which mitigated the impact of inflation on operating costs and has increased the full-year target of productivity initiatives by $20 million.
During the quarter, the Company made progress on its strategic growth investments in advanced metal recovery technologies and began the commissioning of two primary nonferrous recovery systems in Massachusetts and California. In addition, on November 18, 2022, the Company purchased the operating assets of ScrapSource LLC, a recycling services business based in Dallas, Texas. ScrapSource provides metals recycling management services and solutions to over five hundred customers, representing manufacturers, fabrication facilities and service centers across North America. Combined with the Company's existing national accounts team, this acquisition is expected to significantly expand the Company's recycled services volumes and extend this business into additional regional markets across the U.S.
Tamara Lundgren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Although the past several months have been challenging as we faced weakening market conditions and short-term operational disruptions that are now resolved, we are continuing to progress our strategic initiatives centered on advanced metal recovery technologies, volume growth, and productivity improvements. Since the end of the quarter, we have seen a strengthening in selling prices and demand for recycled metals in both the export and domestic markets and we are expecting significant sequential improvements in our second quarter results.”
Ms. Lundgren continued, “Last month, we published our Fiscal 2022 Sustainability Report, Recycled Metals for a Low-Carbon Future. We made significant progress towards our People, Planet, and Profit goals, including achieving 100% net carbon-free electricity use across our operations for a second consecutive year and reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from recycling operations by 24% against a 2019 baseline. We also launched GRN Steel™, our line of net zero carbon emissions steel products. By supplying our global customers with high quality, low-carbon recycled metals that are critical to the production of sustainable products and infrastructure, we are continuing to deliver on our commitment to creating a more sustainable future.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Review and Analysis
Net loss per ferrous ton was $(21) and adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton was $10 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Sequential performance was impacted by lower average selling prices and sales volumes for recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals and finished steel products. Lower prices led to tighter supply flows and compression of metal spreads. Results reflected an estimated adverse impact of approximately $18 million or $21 per ferrous ton from the extended operational disruptions at the Everett and Oakland recycling facilities that were resolved in November. After delivering a nearly full run rate of benefits in the first quarter from the previously announced productivity initiatives targeting annual benefits of $40 million, the Company is expanding the scope of the initiatives by targeting an additional $20 million in cost reductions annually, which primarily focus on SG&A expense.
Ferrous and nonferrous sales volumes in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were down 33% and 12% sequentially, which included the impact on supply flows and sales volumes from the disruptions in Everett and Oakland and several ferrous shipments slipping into December. Average ferrous and nonferrous net selling prices were down sequentially 12% and 14%, respectively. Finished steel sales volumes were down 6% sequentially, and rolling mill utilization averaged 81% in the quarter. Average net selling prices for finished steel products were down 9% sequentially. The detriment from average inventory accounting was approximately $2 per ferrous ton.
The first quarter of fiscal 2023 had negative operating cash flow of $62 million, reflecting an increase in net working capital due to higher inventories due to the shipment delays and the annual payment of incentive compensation accrued in fiscal 2022. Total debt at the end of the quarter was $358 million, and debt, net of cash, was $354 million. Capital expenditures were $48 million in the quarter, including investments in advanced metal recovery technologies, maintaining the business and environmental projects. The sequential increase in debt also reflects a $25 million investment for the purchase of the assets of ScrapSource in November (for a reconciliation of adjusted results and debt, net of cash, to U.S. GAAP, see the table provided in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section). The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was a benefit of 26%. During the first quarter, the Company returned capital to shareholders through its 115th consecutive quarterly dividend.
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.1875 per common share, payable February 14, 2023 to shareholders of record on January 31, 2023. Schnitzer has paid a dividend every quarter since going public in November 1993.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains performance based on adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to SSI shareholders, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton, and adjusted selling, general, and administration expense which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these measures for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures adds a meaningful presentation of our results from business operations excluding adjustments for asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, legacy environmental matters (net of recoveries), business development costs not related to ongoing operations including pre-acquisition expenses, and the income tax benefit allocated to these adjustments, items which are not related to underlying business operational performance, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from business operations. We believe that presenting debt, net of cash is useful to investors as a measure of our leverage, as cash and cash equivalents can be used, among other things, to repay indebtedness. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, and often contain words such as “outlook,” “target,” “aim,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “assumes,” “estimates,” “evaluates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “opinions,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “future,” “forward,” “potential,” “probable,” and similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
We may make other forward-looking statements from time to time, including in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, presentations, and on public conference calls. All forward-looking statements we make are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Some of these risks and uncertainties are discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Examples of these risks include: potential environmental cleanup costs related to the Portland Harbor Superfund site or other locations; the impact of equipment upgrades, equipment failures, and facility damage on production; failure to realize or delays in realizing expected benefits from capital projects, including investments in processing and manufacturing technology improvements; the cyclicality and impact of general economic conditions; the impact of inflation, rising interest rates, and foreign currency fluctuations; changing conditions in global markets including the impact of sanctions and tariffs, quotas, and other trade actions and import restrictions; increases in the relative value of the U.S. dollar; economic and geopolitical instability including as a result of military conflict; volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for raw materials and other inputs we purchase; significant decreases in recycled metal prices; imbalances in supply and demand conditions in the global steel industry; difficulties associated with acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; supply chain disruptions; reliance on third-party shipping companies, including with respect to freight rates and the availability of transportation; the impact of goodwill impairment charges; the impact of long-lived asset and equity investment impairment charges; the impact of pandemics, epidemics, or other public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; inability to achieve or sustain the benefits from productivity, cost savings, and restructuring initiatives; inability to renew facility leases; customer fulfillment of their contractual obligations; potential limitations on our ability to access capital resources and existing credit facilities; restrictions on our business and financial covenants under the agreement governing our bank credit facilities; the impact of consolidation in the steel industry; product liability claims; the impact of legal proceedings and legal compliance; the adverse impact of climate change; the impact of not realizing deferred tax assets; the impact of tax increases and changes in tax rules; the impact of one or more cybersecurity incidents; translation risks associated with fluctuation in foreign exchange rates; inability to obtain or renew business licenses and permits; environmental compliance costs and potential environmental liabilities; increased environmental regulations and enforcement; compliance with climate change and greenhouse gas emission laws and regulations; the impact of labor shortages or increased labor costs; reliance on employees subject to collective bargaining agreements; and the impact of the underfunded status of multiemployer plans in which we participate.
