1. Accounting Policies
-------------------
The interim consolidated financial statements of Quanex Corporation and
subsidiaries are unaudited, but include all adjustments which the Company
deems necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results
of operations. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the full year. All significant
accounting policies conform to those previously set forth in the Company's
fiscal 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference.
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements to conform to 1995 classifications.

======= =======
With respect to inventories valued using the LIFO method, replacement cost
exceeded the LIFO value by approximately $23 million at July 31, 1995, and
$15 million at October 31, 1994.
3. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements
-----------------------------------------
On June 30, 1995, the Company exercised its right under the terms of its
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to exchange such stock
for an aggregate of $86,250,000 of its 6.88% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due June 30, 2007 ("Debentures"). Interest is payable
semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The Debentures are
subject to mandatory annual sinking fund payments sufficient to redeem 25% of
the Debentures issued on each of June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006, to retire a
total of 50% of the Debentures before maturity. The Debentures are
subordinate to all senior indebtedness of the Company and are convertible, at
the option of the holder, into shares of the Company's common stock at a
conversion price of $31.50 per share.
At July 31, 1995, the Company had $65.5 million in Senior Notes ("Senior
Notes"). The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.77% per annum,
payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes require annual repayments of $20.8
million beginning on August 23, 1995, with a final payment of $3.0 million on
August 23, 1998. In December 1994, the Company acquired $59.5 million
principal amount of the Senior Notes for a purchase price equal to 105% of
the principal amount plus accrued interest. The Company recorded an
extraordinary charge of $2.0 million ($3.5 million before tax) in the first
quarter of 1995 related to the call premium and write-off of deferred debt
issuance costs for the Senior Notes that were repurchased.
At July 31, 1995, the Company had $10.0 million outstanding under its
unsecured $48 million Revolving Credit and Letter of Credit Agreement ("Bank
Agreement"). The Bank Agreement consists of a revolving line of credit
("Revolver"), renewable annually, which expires March 31, 1999, and up to $20
million for standby letters of credit, limited to the undrawn amount
available under the Revolver. All borrowings under the Revolver bear
interest, at the option of the Company, at either floating prime or a reserve
adjusted Eurodollar rate.
All of the above agreements contain customary affirmative and negative
covenants which the Company must meet. As of July 31, 1995, the Company was
in compliance with all of the covenants.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company classifies its operations into four business segments: hot
rolled steel bars, cold finished steel bars, steel tubes and aluminum products.
The Company's products are marketed to the industrial machinery and capital
equipment industries, the transportation industry, the energy processing
industry and the home building and remodeling industries.
The Company's results for the three and nine months ended July 31,
1995, reflected a significant increase in revenues and income from the
comparable periods in 1994. Although all of the Company's business segments
recorded greater revenue and income in the three and nine months ended July 31,
1995, over prior periods, the most significant gains were recognized in the
Company's aluminum products and hot rolled steel bar businesses. The aluminum
products business improved from operating income of $5.0 million and $3.2
million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1994, respectively, to
operating income of $6.3 million and $15.7 million for the three and nine months
ended July 31, 1995, respectively. The hot rolled steel bar business improved
from operating income of $7.7 million and $22.1 million for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 1994, respectively, to operating income of $12.0 million
and $29.0 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1995,
respectively.
The improved results for the first three quarters of fiscal 1995
reflected more favorable market conditions in all segments due primarily to a
stronger domestic economy, improved margins resulting from favorable pricing
trends, greater market penetration for certain of the Company's manufactured
products and the cost reduction programs initiated in earlier years and
continuing to the present. The improved results also reflected the benefits
realized from the Company's capital improvement programs, which have allowed the
Company to increase capacity, improve quality and manage manufacturing costs.
The improvements in each of the Company's businesses resulted in the
Company reporting operating income for the three and nine months ended July 31,
1995, of $19.0 million and $46.6 million, respectively, as compared to $12.1
million and $25.7 million, respectively, for the same periods of fiscal 1994.
Income before extraordinary charge for the three and nine months ended July 31,
1995, was $9.6 million and $24.1 million, respectively, as compared to $5.8
million and $11.3 million, respectively, for the same periods of fiscal 1994.
The nine months ended July 31, 1995, included a $2.0 million ($3.5 million
before tax) extraordinary charge for early extinguishment of debt relating to
the acquisition by the Company of $59.5 million principal amount of its 10.77%
Senior Notes for a purchase price equal to 105% of the principal amount plus
accrued interest.
The Company expects that fiscal year 1995 revenues in the Company's
hot rolled steel bar business and aluminum products business will exceed 1994
results due to increased capacity levels and favorable business conditions
experienced during the first three quarters of fiscal 1995. Domestic and global
market factors, however, will continue to impact the Company and any slowdown in
the U.S. economy could affect demand and pricing for many of the Company's
products. The Company currently expects that business conditions will remain
favorable in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company, however, is
operating at near capacity in both its hot rolled steel and cold finished steel
bars segments. Continued improved financial results will be dependent upon,
among other things, whether the strong economic conditions experienced in the
first three quarters of fiscal 1995 can be sustained.

Consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended July 31,
1995, were $228.2 million and $662.4 million, respectively, representing
increases of $47.1 million, or 26%, and $159.6 million, or 32%, respectively,
when compared to the same periods last year. These increases were due to
significantly higher volume in the aluminum products business, additional volume
related to greater production capacity as compared to last year, improvements in
the economy and increases in demand combined with higher average selling prices.
Net sales from the Company's hot rolled steel bar business for the
three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, were $73.2 million and $207.1
million, respectively, representing increases of $13.4 million, or 22%, and
$26.3 million, or 15%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last
year. These increases were attributable to improvements in volume for the three
and nine months ended July 31, 1995, as compared to the same periods of fiscal
1994, of 11% and 5%, respectively, combined with increases in average selling
prices of 11% and 9%, respectively. Volume increases were partly due to the
additional capacity provided as a result of the capital improvements completed
in March 1995. The hot rolled steel bar business also continued to benefit from
strength in the durable goods markets.
Net sales from the Company's cold finished steel bar business for the
three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, were $41.2 million and $134.2
million, respectively, representing increases of $947 thousand, or 2%, and $13.5
million, or 11%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year.
Volume for the quarter ending July 31, 1995, was relatively flat at
(7)
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)
44.1 thousand tons as compared to 45.8 thousand tons for the same period last
year. Volume for the nine months ending July 31, 1995, increased 4% over the
same period in fiscal 1994. Average selling prices during the three and nine
months ending July 31, 1995, increased 7% and 6%, respectively, over the three
and nine months ending July 31, 1994.
Net sales from the Company's steel tube business for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 1995, were $27.5 million and $87.8 million, respectively,
representing increases of $2.8 million, or 11%, and $10.9 million, or 14%,
respectively, when compared to the same periods last year. These increases in
sales resulted principally from improvements in volume for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 1995, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 1994, of
8% and 17%, respectively. The Company's steel tube business was adversely
affected in fiscal 1994, and to a lesser degree in fiscal 1995, by downward
pricing pressure from imports on certain products and a general weakness in this
segment's primary markets, which include power generation and the petrochemical
and refining industries. In June 1994, the Company filed petitions alleging that
imports of carbon and alloy seamless pipe up to 4.5 inches in diameter from four
countries were being dumped or subsidized. In August 1994, the International
Trade Commission (the "ITC") made an affirmative preliminary determination that
imports of small-diameter pipe from these countries were causing injury to the
U.S. industry and in January 1995, dumping bonds were imposed on imports of
these products by these countries. In July 1995, the ITC made a final
determination that imports of small diameter seamless carbon and alloy standard,
line and pressure pipe from four countries had caused injury to the U.S.
industry. This final ruling results in the ongoing enforcement of dumping
margins imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Net sales from the Company's aluminum products business for the three
and nine months ended July 31, 1995, were $89.3 million and $243.5 million,
respectively, representing increases of $30.3 million, or 51%, and $108.4
million, or 80%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year.
These increases were attributable to increases in volume for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 1995, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 1994, of
36% and 63%, respectively, due to improved demand and market share and increases
in average selling prices of 11% in both the three and nine month periods.
Results were affected by aluminum price increases, which generally increased by
more than the Company's average selling price because of a change in product
mix. Lower priced mill finished sheet was a higher percentage of total sales in
the first three quarters of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same periods of last
year. First and second quarter results for 1994 were adversely affected by the
fire at the Company's Lincolnshire plant.
Consolidated operating income for the three and nine months ended July
31, 1995, was $19.0 million and $46.6 million, respectively, representing
increases of $6.9 million, or 57%, and $20.9 million, or 82%, respectively, when
compared to the same periods last year. These increases were principally due to
higher net sales.
Operating income from the Company's hot rolled steel bar business for
the three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, was $12.0 million and $29.0
million, respectively, representing increases of $4.3 million, or 55%, and $6.9
million, or 31%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year.
These increases were principally due to higher volume, net sales and improved
margins.
(8)
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)
Operating income from the Company's cold finished steel bar business
for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, was $2.7 million and $9.4
million, respectively, representing increases of $538 thousand, or 25%, and $3.0
million, or 47%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year.
These increases were principally due to higher net sales and improved margins.
Operating income from the Company's steel tube business for the three
and nine months ended July 31, 1995, was $1.2 million and $6.1 million,
respectively, representing increases of $157 thousand, or 15%, and $1.9 million,
or 46%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year. These
increases were principally due to higher volume and net sales.
Operating income from the Company's aluminum products business for the
three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, was $6.3 million and $15.7 million,
respectively, representing increases of $1.3 million, or 26%, and $12.5 million,
or 386%, respectively, when compared to the same periods last year. These
increases were principally due to higher volume and net sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were flat for the quarter
ending July 31, 1995, when compared to the same prior year quarter,
notwithstanding a 26% increase in net sales. Fiscal year-to-date selling,
general and administrative expenses have increased by $3.4 million, or 10%, as
compared to the same periods of 1994. However, as a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as compared to the same
periods last year.
Interest expense decreased by $962 thousand and $2.8 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, as compared to
the same periods of 1994 primarily as a result of the early extinguishment of a
portion of the Company's senior debt late in the first fiscal quarter of 1995.
Interest expense will increase following the Company's exchange of its 6.88%
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") for its
6.88% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due June 30, 2007 ("6.88% Debentures")
on June 30, 1995. Although this exchange will reduce net income through interest
charges, net income attributable to common shareholders will benefit from the
resulting tax savings.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine
months ended July 31, 1995, was $8.6 million and $18.1 million, respectively, as
compared to $4.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, for the comparable 1994
periods. Preferred dividends reduced net income attributable to common
shareholders by $990 thousand and $4.0 million ,respectively, for the three and
nine month periods ended July 31, 1995, as compared to $1.5 million and $4.5
million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1994.
The improvement in net income attributable to common shareholders was primarily
attributable to improved operating income.
Included in the nine months ended July 31, 1995, was an extraordinary
charge of $2.0 million relating to early extinguishment of debt. Included in
"Other, net" for the nine months ended July 31, 1995, was a $1.1 million pretax
gain related to a life insurance policy on a deceased former officer. Included
in "Other, net" for the nine months ended July 31, 1994, was a $1.7 million
pretax charge related to certain financing contracts, partially offset by $1.0
million of income relating to partial reimbursement of a business interruption
loss for the fire that occurred at the Company's Lincolnshire facility in August
1993. Also, included in "Other, net" was investment income of $416 thousand and
$336 thousand for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1995, respectively,
as compared to $677 thousand and $2.2 million,
(9)
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)
respectively, for the comparable 1994 periods. The decreases were due to
decreases in cash available for investment and losses on sales of short-term
investments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of funds are cash on hand, cash flow
from operations, and, if needed, borrowings under a $48 million unsecured
revolving credit facility with a group of banks (the "Bank Agreement"). All
borrowings under the Bank Agreement bear interest, at the option of the Company,
at either floating prime or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate. The Bank
Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and requirements
to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, as defined. The Bank
Agreement limits the payment of dividends and certain restricted investments.
The Bank Agreement was amended in December 1994 to extend the maturity of the
facility to March 31, 1999. At July 31, 1995, there were $10.0 million of
outstanding borrowings and $2.1 million of outstanding letters of credit under
the Bank Agreement.
On June 30, 1995, the Company exercised its right under the terms of
its Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to exchange such stock
for an aggregate of $86,250,000 of its 6.88% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
due June 30, 2007 ("Debentures"). Interest is payable semi-annually on June 30
and December 31 of each year. The Debentures are subject to mandatory annual
sinking fund payments sufficient to redeem 25% of the Debentures issued on each
of June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006, to retire a total of 50% of the Debentures
before maturity. The Debentures are subordinate to all senior indebtedness of
the Company and are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the
Company's common stock at a conversion price of $31.50 per share.
At July 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding $65.5 million in Senior
Notes ("Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are unsecured and bear interest at the
rate of 10.77% per annum, payable semi-annually. The Senior Notes require annual
repayments of $20.8 million beginning on August 23, 1995, with a final payment
of $3.0 million on August 23, 1998. In December 1994, the Company acquired $59.5
million principal amount of the Senior Notes for a purchase price equal to 105%
of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The acquisition was funded with
the Company's available cash, proceeds from the sale of its short-term
investments and $10 million in borrowings under the Bank Agreement. The Senior
Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as
requirements to maintain a minimum capital base, as defined. In addition, the
Senior Notes limit the payment of dividends and certain restricted investments.
At July 31, 1995, the Company had commitments of $10 million for the
purchase or construction of capital assets. The Company's $52 million (not
including approximately $9 million in capitalized interest) Phase II MacSteel
expansion project and $8 million Nichols-Homeshield annealing expansion were
both completed in March 1995.
In management's opinion, the Company currently has sufficient funds and
adequate financial sources available to meet its anticipated liquidity needs
including required payments on the Senior Notes and the Debentures. Management
believes that cash flow from operations, cash balances and available borrowings
will be sufficient for the foreseeable future to finance anticipated capital
expenditures, debt service requirements and dividends.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended July
31, 1995, was $38.2 million. This represents an increase of $17.4 million as
compared to the comparable 1994 period. This increase was primarily attributable
to improved income before depreciation and amortization expense. Working capital
increases were $3.0 million less during the nine months ended July 31, 1995, as
compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1994.
Investment Activities
Net cash provided by investment activities during the nine months ended
July 31, 1995, was $32.3 million as compared to net cash used by investment
activities of $22.9 million for the nine months ended July 31, 1994. The
increase in cash provided by investment activities was principally due to
decreases in short-term investments to fund the Company's acquisition of its
Senior Notes. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended July 31, 1995, were
$21.1 million as compared to $30.2 million for the same 1994 period. Cash used
by investing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 1994, includes $6.4
million of proceeds from the sale of the Company's Viking Metallurgical
Corporation subsidiary. The Company estimates that fiscal year 1995 capital
expenditures will approximate $30 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended July
31, 1995, was $58.8 million, principally consisting of $59.5 million for the
early extinguishment of long-term debt, $5.9 million in common dividends and
$4.5 million in preferred dividends. These uses of cash were partly offset by
notes payable borrowings of $10.0 million.
