NOTES TO 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 and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with information reflected in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, 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, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 or any other interim period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Note 2.   New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), which was primarily codified into Topic 805 (Business Combinations) in the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC.  This guidance requires that the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition including the issuance of equity securities be determined on the acquisition date; requires that all assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, contingent consideration, contingencies, and in-process research and development costs of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date; requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred; requires that restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date; and requires that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. This guidance also expands disclosures related to business combinations and will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, except that business combinations consummated prior to the effective date must apply SFAS 141(R) income tax requirements immediately upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) related to future acquisitions, if any, on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which is primarily codified into Topic 250 (Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) in the ASC. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R), and other U.S. GAAP. This FSP was effective for the Company on October 1, 2009 and it had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, which was primarily codified into Topic 715 (Compensation Retirement Benefits) in the ASC. The guidance requires disclosures of the objectives of postretirement benefit plan assets, investment policies and strategies, categories of plan assets, fair value measurements of plan assets, and significant concentrations of risk. This guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt this guidance October 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is expected to increase the Company’s disclosures, but it is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4.   Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, differing tax rates on foreign earnings and the impact of permanent items with a pretax loss in fiscal 2009. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 44.4% compared to 38.5% in the same period of fiscal 2009. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was 45.6% compared to 13.1% in the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a change in the state apportionment factor, which lowered the blended state tax rate resulting in an unfavorable reduction of our deferred tax asset.

The Company contributed $10,675 to Company sponsored domestic pension plans, $3,564 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $701 to the U.K. pension plan for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The Company presently expects future contributions of $3,525 to its domestic pension plans, $1,236 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $259 to the U.K. pension plan for the remainder of fiscal 2010. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 requires funding over a seven-year period to achieve 100% funded status.

Note 6. Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

 

The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental and intellectual property matters. Future expenditures for environmental, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty; however, based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that such costs will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company believes that any and all claims arising out of conduct or activities that occurred prior to March 29, 2004 are subject to dismissal. On March 29, 2004, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On August 16, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order Under 11 U.S.C. 1129(a) and (b) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3020 Confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Haynes International, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession as Further Modified (the “Confirmation Order”). The Confirmation Order and related Chapter 11 Plan, among other things, provide for the release and discharge of prepetition claims and causes of action. The Confirmation Order further provides for an injunction against the commencement of any actions with respect to claims held prior to the Effective Date of the Plan. The Effective Date occurred on August 31, 2004. When appropriate, the Company pursues the dismissal of lawsuits premised upon claims or causes of action discharged in the Confirmation Order and related Chapter 11 Plan. The success of this strategy is dependent upon a number of factors, including the respective court’s interpretation of the Confirmation Order and the unique circumstances of each case.

 

The Company is currently, and has in the past, been subject to claims involving personal injuries allegedly relating to its products. For example, the Company is presently involved in two actions involving welding rod-related injuries, filed against numerous manufacturers, including the Company, in December 2008 in the Federal MDL Court in Ohio and in California State Court in February 2007, respectively, alleging that the welding-related products of the defendant manufacturers harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese.  The Company believes that it has defenses to these allegations, and that if the Company were found liable, the cases would not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In addition to these cases, the Company has in the past been named a defendant in several other lawsuits, including 53 filed in the state of California, alleging that its welding-related products harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese. The Company has since been voluntarily dismissed from all of these lawsuits on the basis of the release and discharge of claims contained in the Confirmation Order. While the Company contests such lawsuits vigorously, there are several risks and uncertainties that may affect its liability for claims relating to exposure to welding fumes and manganese. For instance, in recent cases, at least two courts (in cases not involving Haynes) have refused to dismiss claims relating to inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese based upon a bankruptcy discharge order. Although the Company believes the facts of these cases are distinguishable from the facts of its cases, there can be no assurance that any or all claims against the Company will be dismissed based upon the Confirmation Order, particularly claims premised, in part or in full, upon actual or alleged exposure on or after the date of the Confirmation Order. It is also possible that the Company will be named in additional suits alleging welding-rod injuries. Should such litigation occur, although the Company may have applicable insurance, it is possible that the aggregate claims for damages, if the Company is found liable, could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, to close and to provide post-closure monitoring and care for certain areas at the Kokomo facility previously used for the storage and disposal of wastes, some of which are classified as hazardous under applicable regulations. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1988 for the South Landfill at the Kokomo facility and post-closure monitoring and care is ongoing there. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1999 for the North Landfill at the Kokomo facility and post-closure monitoring and care are permitted and ongoing there.  In fiscal 2007, IDEM issued a single post-closure permit applicable to both the North and South Landfills, which contain monitoring and post-closure care requirements.  In addition, IDEM required that a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, Facility Investigation, or RFI, be conducted in order to further evaluate one area of concern and one solid waste management unit.  The RFI commenced in fiscal 2008 and is ongoing.

The Company has also received permits from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, or NCDENR, to close and provide post-closure monitoring and care for the hazardous waste lagoon at its Mountain Home, North Carolina facility. The lagoon area has been closed and is currently undergoing post-closure monitoring and care. The Company is required to 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 corrective actions by the Company could be required.

 

As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the Company has accrued $1,516 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities. In accordance with Statement of Position 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities, which was primarily codified into Topic 410-30 (Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations) in the ASC, 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 30 year post-closure monitoring period referred to above. At each fiscal year-end, or earlier if necessary, the Company evaluates the accuracy of the estimates for these monitoring and maintenance costs for the upcoming fiscal year. The accrual was based upon the undiscounted amount of the obligation of $2,123 which was then discounted using an appropriate discount rate. The cost associated with closing the sites has been incurred in financial periods prior to those presented, with the remaining cost to be incurred in future periods related solely to post-closure monitoring and maintenance. Based on historical experience, the Company estimates that the cost of post-closure monitoring and maintenance will approximate $134 per year over the remaining obligation period.

 

Note 7.   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 ten million additional 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 security interest on 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 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 the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the upfront fee.  The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. The portion of the upfront fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.  Taxes were paid on the up-front fee primarily in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

Note 8.          Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Goodwill was created primarily as a result of the Company’s reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and fresh start accounting. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) which was primarily codified into Topic 350 (Intangibles - Goodwill and Other) in the ASC. Pursuant to SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and the value of goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, impairment of goodwill may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of goodwill impairment.  The Company estimated fair value using a combination of a market value approach using quoted market prices and an income approach using discounted cash flow projections.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company determined that the weakening of the U.S. economy and the global credit crisis resulted in a reduction of the Company’s market capitalization below its total stockholder’s equity value for a sustained period of time, which is an indication that goodwill may be impaired.  As a result, the Company performed an interim step one goodwill impairment analysis as of February 28, 2009 which indicated impairment.  In connection with the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of that goodwill and determined that the carrying value of the Company’s one reporting unit exceeded its fair value.  As a result, the Company recorded a

non-cash charge of $43,737 for goodwill impairment in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, which was primarily non-deductible for tax purposes.

 

The Company also has patents, trademarks and other intangibles. As the patents have a definite life, they are amortized over lives ranging from two to fourteen years. As the trademarks have an indefinite life, the Company tests them for impairment at least annually. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value (determined by calculating a fair value 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 Company has non-compete agreements with lives of 5 to 7 years. Amortization of the patents, non-competes and other intangibles was $766 and $419 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Anti-dilutive shares with respect to outstanding stock options have been properly excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share.  Restricted stock with performance goals issued to certain key employees is not included in the computation as the performance goal is deemed not yet achieved.  Restricted stock issued to non-employee directors and certain key employees with no performance goal is included in the computation only when the Company has net income.

 

Note 10.  Stock-Based Compensation

 

Restricted Stock Plan

 

On February 23, 2009, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan that reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance.  Grants of restricted stock are rights to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee may set restrictions on certain grants based on the achievement of specific performance goals and vesting of grants to participants will also be time-based.

 

Restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the vesting period or if the performance goal is not met, if applicable.  The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goal will be achieved. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The plan provides for the adjustment of the number of shares covered by an outstanding grant and the maximum number of shares for which restricted stock may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event.  Outstanding shares of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of common stock.

 

On January 8, 2010, the Company granted 46,000 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees will vest on the third anniversary of their grant date, provided that (a) the recipient is still an employee with the Company and (b) for a portion of the grant, the Company has met a three year net income performance goal. The shares of restricted stock granted to

directors will vest on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of grant or (b) the failure of such non-employee director to be re-elected at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company as a result of such non-employee director being excluded from the nominations for any reason other than cause. The fair value of the grant was $34.00 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of the grant.

 

The stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was $77 and $162, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was $77 and $354, respectively.

The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2010 was $1,522 to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.43 years.

 

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has two stock option plans that authorize the granting of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and non-employee directors for the purchase of a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The original option plan was adopted in August 2004 pursuant to the plan of reorganization and provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In January 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a second option plan that provides for options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each plan provides for the adjustment of the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, options granted under the option plans are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest 33 1/3% per year over three years from the grant date.

 

The fair value of option grants was estimated as of the date of the grant pursuant to FASB No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which was primarily codified into Topic 718 (Compensation — Stock Compensation) in the ASC. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates, expected forfeitures 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 expected forfeiture rate is based upon historical experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant.  Valuation of future grants under the Black-Scholes model will include a dividend yield. The following assumptions were used for grants in fiscal year 2010:

On January 8, 2010, the Company granted 37,000 options to certain employees at an exercise price of $34.00 per share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock the day of the grant. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, no options were exercised.

 

The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was $330 and $234, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 was $917 and $788, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2010 was $1,252 to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 0.67 years.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend was paid June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2010. The dividend cash pay-out was $2,429 for the quarter based on shares outstanding. Dividends paid year-to-date for fiscal 2010 are $7,278.

 

The Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable September 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2010.

 

Note 12.  Commodity Contracts

 

On June 11, 2009, to mitigate the volatility of the natural gas markets, the Company entered into a commodity swap-cash settlement agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank.  The Company agreed to a fixed natural gas price on a total of 300,000 MMBTU, at a settlement rate of 50,000 MMBTU per month for a period spanning October 2009 to March 2010.  As of June 30, 2010, 300,000 MMBTU had been settled for a net realized hedging loss of $269.

Note 13.  Fair Value Measurements

 

On October 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157,  Fair Value Measurements , as amended by FSP FAS 157-3, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which was primarily codified into FASB ASC 820-10 (Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) in the ASC.  This standard applies to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually beginning October 1, 2009.  FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

FASB ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions that other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FASB ASC 820-10 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

·

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 and classifies such items within Level 1. 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. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued.

 

Pursuant to this guidance, the Company measures and reports the commodity swap-cash settlement agreement for natural gas (refer to Note 12 for more information) at fair value.

 

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities (cash equivalents and commodity contracts) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010:

Business Overview

 

Haynes International, Inc. (“Haynes” or “the Company”) is one of the world’s largest producers of high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company is focused on developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing technologically advanced, high-performance alloys, which are sold primarily in the aerospace, chemical processing and land-based gas turbine industries. The Company’s products 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 waste incineration, 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 hazardous waste treatment.  The Company believes it is one of four principal producers of high-performance alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company also produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, and in slab, bar, billet and wire forms.

 

The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Arcadia, Louisiana; and Mountain Home, North Carolina. The Kokomo facility specializes in flat products, the Arcadia facility specializes in tubular products and the Mountain Home facility specializes in wire products.  The Company markets its products primarily through its direct sales organization, which includes 12 service and/or sales centers in the United States, Europe, Asia and India. All of these centers are company-operated.

 

Subsequent Event

 

On July 1, 2010, the Company announced that the membership of the United Steelworkers Local 2958 (USW) ratified an agreement covering approximately 485 employees at the Company’s Kokomo, Indiana plant and the Lebanon, Indiana service center.  The new three-year agreement includes a lump sum payout of four thousand dollars for covered employees and wage increases of 0.0%, 2.0% and 2.0% in 2010, 2011 and 2012.  This agreement succeeds an existing agreement that expired June 30, 2010.  The one-time lump sum payment total of $2.1 million

(including employer taxes) was paid in July 2010 and will be expensed on a straight-line basis over the three-year life of the contract as the payment allows for a lower wage increase over the term of the agreement.

 

Dividend

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend was paid June 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2010. The dividend cash pay-out was $2.4 million for the quarter based on shares outstanding. Dividends paid year-to-date for fiscal 2010 are $7.3 million.

 

On August 5, 2010, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable September 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2010. The aggregate cash payout based on current shares outstanding will be approximately $2.4 million, or approximately $9.7 million on an annualized basis.

 

Outlook

 

General

 

Management expects that net revenues and volume in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and first quarter of fiscal 2011 will at least equal and possibly improve from the levels of the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  Market demand and the mix of products being sold have improved since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Improved market demand is primarily reflected by transactional service center business, where volume and pricing have improved throughout fiscal 2010, contributing to better than anticipated results. Although uncertainty in the marketplace continues, the Company’s backlog is showing signs that our end markets, particularly the aerospace market, are improving.

 

Management also expects that net income for the next two fiscal quarters will at least equal and possibly exceed that of the third fiscal quarter of 2010. Although volumes have improved, results for each quarter will continue to be unfavorably impacted by reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing costs due to less than optimal volumes.  In addition, the market environment continues to place downward pressure on prices. The unfavorable effect of both these items should have less of an impact on the Company’s operating results if the business environment continues to improve.

 

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, increased during fiscal 2010. Accounts receivable increased during fiscal 2010 due to increased sales while days sales outstanding remained flat. Management anticipates that accounts receivable at fiscal year-end will be approximately equal to the current balance as net revenues are also expected to remain at least flat between quarters. Inventory increased significantly during the fiscal year primarily due to staging of work-in-process inventory for initiation of the inventory pull process, staging of inventory as safety stock for customers in the event of a work stoppage associated with the collective bargaining agreement negotiation, and increased sales volumes. The process of reducing inventory started in July and management expects that by the end of fiscal 2010, inventory will be reduced by approximately $30.0 million.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from the beginning of the year to equal $55.7 million at June 30, 2010 due to the increased inventory requirements and is anticipated, in conjunction with the inventory reduction, to approximate a balance of $40.0 million by the end of fiscal 2010. As a result of the above, and the net effect of other sources and uses of cash, management anticipates that the cash balance at June 30, 2010 of $58.6 million will increase to approximately $73.0 million by the end of fiscal 2010.

 

Backlog

 

Increasing order entry activity contributed to improvement in backlog at June 30, 2010 as compared to March 31, 2010.  Backlog dollars were $130.9 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of approximately 5.1% from $124.6 million at March 31, 2010.  This increase is the result of a 7.5% increase in backlog average selling price, which was partially offset by a 2.2% decline in backlog pounds.  Management expects the backlog dollars and pounds to

increase modestly through the next two fiscal quarters.

 

Competition and Pricing

 

Although volumes and product pricing increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company continued to experience intense price competition in the marketplace, particularly in mill direct project business. This competition continues to require the Company to aggressively price project business orders, which has unfavorably impacted the Company’s gross profit margin and net income. However, the impact of the price competition was less severe in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 than in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2010, which is reflected as improved product pricing in the third quarter.

 

Average selling price has increased 5.6% since the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase reflects both a higher priced mix of alloys and forms and a modest improvement in demand in the Company’s end markets.  Current selling prices continue to be impacted by both the competitive environment and the volatility of raw material in the market place, which will continue to temper attempts to increase prices. If market conditions continue to improve, pricing competition in the high-performance alloy industry may begin to ease further in future quarters.  The Company continues to respond to this competition by increasing emphasis on service centers, offering value-added services, improving its cost structure, and focusing on delivery-times and reliability.

The continued improvement in gross profit margin and gross profit margin percentage is primarily due to a combination of rising volume, improved product mix, improved cost structure of the Company and a modestly improving market environment.  Service center transactional business volumes and prices have improved, particularly in the aerospace market, due to significant destocking by the Company’s customers during the last two years. The Company’s sales to the land-based gas turbine market appear to be strengthening, with backlog for this market increasing by 22.5% since September 30, 2009. Increased activity in the repair and maintenance business drove the Company’s revenues from sales to the chemical processing market to this highest level since the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Pounds shipped to the market in the third quarter reached the highest level of any quarter in fiscal 2009 and 2010. The “Other” market category year-over-year activity for revenues and volume is essentially equal to the comparable period of the last fiscal year.

 

Since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, cost of goods sold per pound has improved as a result of (i) a significant reduction in the amount of higher cost raw material from inventory, which impacted cost of goods sold in fiscal 2009, (ii) manufacturing staffing reductions started in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 which continued through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, (iii) operating efficiencies attributable to equipment upgrades, particularly in the sheet finishing operations and (iv) continued implementation of lean manufacturing techniques.  In summary, the modest improvement in market conditions in our markets and improved cost structure have resulted in an improving gross profit margin since the third quarter of fiscal 2009.

(1)             The Company defines backlog to include firm commitments from customers for delivery of product at established prices. Approximately 30% of the orders in the backlog at any given time include prices that are subject to adjustment based on changes in raw material costs. Historically, approximately 75% of the backlog orders have shipped within six months and approximately 90% have shipped within 12 months. The backlog figures do not reflect that portion of the business conducted at service and sales centers on a spot or “just-in-time” basis.

(2)             Represents the average price for a cash buyer as reported by the London Metals Exchange for the 30 days ending on the last day of the period presented.

Net revenues were $101.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 3.0% from $98.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to an increase in volume partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price per pound.  Volume was 4.7 million pounds in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 7.9% from 4.4 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2009.  The aggregate average selling price was $21.44 per pound in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 4.5% from $22.45 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2009.  As discussed above under “Outlook”, competition in the Company’s primary markets continued to unfavorably impact the average selling price in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company’s consolidated backlog was $130.9 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of 5.1% from $124.6 million at March 31, 2010. This increase reflects the combination of a 7.5% increase in backlog average selling price partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in backlog pounds.

 

Sales to the aerospace market were $36.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 5.1% from $35.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a 14.0% increase in volume, which was partially offset by a 7.8% decrease in the average selling price per pound. Volume was impacted by increased market demand as a result of the aero engine supply chain beginning to restock inventories. The average selling price per pound decreased due to a product mix change.

 

Sales to the chemical processing market were $27.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 1.9% from $26.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a 27.4% increase in volume offset by a 20.0% decrease in average selling price.  Volume was affected by an increase in major plant retrofits and increased maintenance and repair work. However, major plant retrofits are typically competitively bid, which often results in a lower average selling price than transactional business.

 

Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $18.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 16.6% from $22.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a decrease of 21.3% in volume partially offset by a 5.9% increase in the average selling price per pound. The decrease in volume is due to reduced activity by original equipment manufacturers. The average selling price per pound increased due to a product mix change.

 

Sales to other markets were $15.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 34.8% from $11.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a 3.6% increase in average selling price per pound, combined with a 30.1% increase in volume.  These increases are due to increased sales into the energy market, particularly solar and nuclear, which typically have higher average selling prices due to alloy mix and value added work.

 

Other Revenue. Other revenue was $3.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 11.1% from $2.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in revenue is due to higher scrap and miscellaneous sales.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $84.4 million, or 83.4% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $106.5 million, or 108.3% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2009. Cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased by $22.1 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009 due to lower raw material costs, reduced manufacturing expense, workforce reductions and a modest amount of improved absorption due to improved sheet volume.  Offsetting the decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period of fiscal 2009 was increased price competition, which negatively impacted net revenue.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $9.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7.3%, from $8.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due primarily to the increased business activity causing commissions and sales expenses to increase.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 9.4% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 9.0% for the same period of fiscal 2009.

 

Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $0.6 million, or 0.6% of revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $0.1 million from $0.8 million, or 0.8% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to the reductions in workforce during the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009.

 

Operating Income (Loss). As a result of the above factors, operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $6.7 million compared to an operating loss of $(17.8) million in the same period of fiscal 2009.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes were an expense of $3.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $9.9 million from a benefit of $6.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2009,  primarily due to pretax income.

Table of Contents

 

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 44.4%, compared to 38.5% in the same period of fiscal 2009 primarily due to a change in the state apportionment factor, which lowered the blended state tax rate resulting in an unfavorable reduction of our deferred tax asset.

 

Net Income (Loss). As a result of the above factors, net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.7 million, an increase of $14.7 million from a net loss of $(10.9) million in the same period of fiscal 2009.

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $276.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 21.6% from $353.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to decreases in volume and average selling price per pound.  Volume was 13.1 million pounds in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 10.3% from 14.5 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2009.  The aggregate average selling price was $21.21 per pound in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 12.6% from $24.27 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2009.  As discussed above under “Outlook”, increased competition and weakness in customer demand unfavorably impacted both average selling price and volume in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 in the Company’s markets as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2009. The Company’s consolidated backlog was $130.9 million at June 30, 2010, an increase of 22.7% from $106.7 million at September 30, 2009.  This increase reflects a 24.9% increase in backlog pounds partially offset by a 1.8% decrease in backlog average selling price.

 

Sales to the aerospace market were $98.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 24.1% from $129.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a 16.0% decrease in the average selling price per pound combined with a 9.6% decrease in volume. Pricing and volume decreased due to reduced market demand in fiscal 2010 as reflected in the reduction in air traffic and leaning out of the aero engine supply chain earlier in fiscal 2010.

 

Sales to the chemical processing market were $66.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 20.5% from $83.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a 24.0% decrease in the average selling price per pound partially offset by a 4.5% increase in volume. Volume increased along with the improvement in the overall economy. Average selling price per pound decreased due to continued price competition.

 

Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $53.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 35.6% from $82.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a decrease of 11.5% in the average selling price per pound combined with a 27.2% decrease in volume. The decrease in both volume and

average selling price is due to reduced activity by original equipment manufacturers and increased price competition.

 

Sales to other markets were $48.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 0.4% from $48.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a 3.4% decrease in average selling price per pound partially offset by a 3.1% increase in volume.  The decline in average selling price reflects the economic slowdown and the continued competition in many of these markets.

 

Other Revenue. Other revenue was $10.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, an increase of 25.0% from $8.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase is due primarily to higher scrap and miscellaneous sales.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $243.0 million, or 87.8% of net revenues, in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to $335.5 million, or 95.0% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2009. Cost of sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 decreased by $92.5 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009 due to lower volume, lower raw material costs, reduced manufacturing expense and workforce reductions.  This decrease was partially offset by reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing costs caused by lower production volumes, particularly that of sheet product.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $25.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 7.5%, from $27.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due primarily to lower business activity causing commissions and sales expenses to decline and significant workforce reductions in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 9.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to 7.9% for the same period of fiscal 2009 due primarily to reduced revenues.

 

Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $2.0 million, or 0.7% of revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $0.4 million from $2.4 million, or 0.7% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to the reductions in workforce during the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009.

 

Impairment of Goodwill.  An impairment charge of $43.7 million was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 due to weakening of the U.S. economy and the global credit crisis resulting in a reduction of the Company’s market capitalization below its total stockholders’ equity value for a sustained period of time.  Please see Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information

 

Operating Income (Loss). As a result of the above factors, operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $6.2 million compared to operating loss of $(56.3) million in the same period of fiscal 2009.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes was an expense of $2.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, from a benefit of $(7.5) million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to the Company generating pretax income rather than pretax loss.  The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was 45.6%, compared to 13.1% in the same period of fiscal 2009. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a change in the state apportionment factor, which lowered the blended state tax rate resulting in an unfavorable reduction of our deferred tax asset. In addition, the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge lowered the effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

 

Net Income (Loss). As a result of the above factors, net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $3.4 million, an increase of $52.7 million from a net loss of $(49.3) million in the same period of fiscal 2009.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Comparative cash flow analysis

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, the Company’s primary sources of cash were cash from operations and cash on-hand.  At June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $58.6 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $105.1 million at September 30, 2009.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $29.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $97.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2009.  Several items contributed to the difference.  Cash used by increased inventory balances (net of foreign currency fluctuation) of $54.9 million

Table of Contents

 

was $159.4 million higher than cash provided by decreased inventory balances in the same period of fiscal 2009.  Cash used by increased accounts receivable of $7.8 million was $52.4 million higher than cash provided by accounts receivable in the same period of fiscal 2009.  Offsetting the above items, cash generated from accounts payable and accrued expenses of $17.5 million was $34.9 million higher than cash used in the same period of fiscal 2009 and cash generated from income taxes of $9.6 million was $39.1 million higher than cash used by income taxes in the same period of fiscal 2009.  Net cash used in investing activities was $9.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 compared to $7.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 due to higher capital expenditures.  Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 included $7.3 million in dividend payments compared to zero in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.

 

Future sources of liquidity

 

The Company’s sources of cash for fiscal 2010 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations and cash on-hand.  In addition, the U.S. revolving credit facility provides borrowings in a maximum amount of $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. At June 30, 2010, the Company had cash of approximately $58.6 million, an outstanding balance of zero on the U.S. revolving credit facility and access to a total of approximately $120.0 million under the U.S. revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base and certain reserves. Management believes that the resources described above will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.

 

U.S. revolving credit facility:   Haynes and Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central) (“Wachovia”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with an effective date of November 18, 2008, which amended and restated the revolving credit facility between Haynes and Wachovia dated August 31, 2004. Among other items, the Amended Agreement extends the maturity date of the U.S. revolving credit facility to September 30, 2011, increases the margin included in the interest rate from 1.5% per annum to 2.25% per annum for LIBOR borrowings, permits the Company to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met, and eliminates the EBITDA covenant. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement continues to be $120.0 million. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either Wachovia Bank, National Association’s “prime rate,” plus up to 2.25% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up to 3.0% per annum.  As of June 30, 2010, the U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of zero. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2010 it bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.00%.  In addition, the Company must pay monthly in arrears a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment.  For letters of credit, the Company must pay 2.5% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of all issued letters of credit, plus 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 and permits the Company to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain metrics are met.  As of June 30, 2010, the most recent required measurement date under the Amended Agreement, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.  The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on September 30, 2011. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company, including equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding its four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to TIMET. The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of 65% of the equity interests in each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

 

Future uses of liquidity

 

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

 

·                  funding operations;

·                  pension plan funding;

·                  capital spending; and

·                  dividends to stockholders.

 

24



Table of Contents

 

In fiscal 2010, capital spending is targeted at approximately $15.0 million with approximately $9.4 million spent in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.  The focus of the capital spending in fiscal 2010 is on recurring equipment requirements of approximately $9.0 million and approximately $6.0 million on the upgrade of the four-high Steckel rolling mill.  In February 2010, the Company announced plans to spend approximately $85.0 million over the next five years on capital projects which focus on improving the capability of the Company’s production assets. Included in the $85.0 million total spending is approximately $10.0 million to be spent in fiscal 2011 to restructure, consolidate and enhance capabilities at its service center operations to improve the return on assets invested in the service centers.  Additionally, the Company plans to spend approximately $30.0 million (or $6.0 million per year) on upgrades to its four-high Steckel rolling mill and supporting equipment, and approximately $25.0 million (or $5.0 million per year) on other equipment purchases and upgrades.  These projects are expected to improve quality, reduce operating costs, improve delivery performance and decrease cycle time.  The Company anticipates that it will continue to spend approximately $4.0 million per year on routine capital maintenance projects over the same five-year period.  Management does not anticipate prolonged equipment outages as a result of upgrades in fiscal 2010.

(1)             Taxes are not included in the table.  The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on October 1, 2007.  As of June 30, 2010, the non-current income taxes payable was $292.  It is not possible to determine in which period the tax liability might be paid out.

(2)             The Company has a funding obligation to contribute $66,045 to the domestic pension plan arising from the Pension Protection Act of 2006. These payments will be tax deductible. All benefit payments under the domestic pension plan are provided by the plan and not the Company. The Company expects its U.K. subsidiary to contribute $960 to the U.K. Pension Plan.

(3)             Represents expected post-retirement benefits only based upon anticipated timing of payments.

(4)             Pursuant to an escrow agreement, as of April 11, 2005, the Company established an escrow account to satisfy its obligation to make payments under a non-compete agreement entered into as part of the Branford Acquisition. This amount is reported as restricted cash.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets which was primarily codified into Topic 715 (Compensation Retirement Benefits) in the ASC.  The guidance requires disclosures of the objectives of postretirement benefit plan assets, investment policies and strategies, categories of plan assets, fair value measurements of plan assets, and significant concentrations of risk.  This guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective October 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is expected to increase our disclosures, but it is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Overview

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, income taxes, asset impairments, retirement benefits, matters related to product liability lawsuits and environmental matters. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, pension asset mix and, in some cases, actuarial techniques, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of this process form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company routinely reevaluates these significant factors and makes adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has identified certain critical accounting policies, which are described below. The following listing of policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Company’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when collectability is reasonably assured and when title passes to the customer which is generally at the time of shipment (F.O.B. shipping point or at a foreign port for certain export customers). Allowances for sales returns are recorded as a component of net revenues in the periods in which the related sales are recognized. Management determines this allowance based on historical experience.  Should returns increase above historical experience, additional allowances may be required.

 

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

 

The Company has defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering most of its current and former employees. Significant elements in determining the assets or liabilities and related income or expense for these plans are the expected return on plan assets (if any), the discount rate used to value future payment streams, expected trends in health care costs, and other actuarial assumptions. Annually, the Company evaluates the significant assumptions to be used to value its pension and postretirement plan assets and liabilities based on current market conditions and expectations of future costs. If actual results are less favorable than those projected by management, additional expense may be required in future periods.

 

The Company believes the expected rate of return on plan assets of 8.5% is a reasonable assumption on a long-term perspective based on its asset allocation of 58.0% equity, 41.0% fixed income and 1.0% other. The Company’s assumption for expected rate of return for plan assets for equity, fixed income, and real estate/other are 10.25%, 5.5% and 8.5%, respectively. This position is supported through a review of investment criteria, and consideration of historical returns over a several year period.

 

In the short-term, substantial decreases in plan assets will result in higher plan funding contribution levels and higher pension expenses.  A decrease of 25 basis points in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would result in an increase in annual pension expense of about $0.3 million.  To the extent that the actual return on plan assets during the year exceeds or falls short of the assumed long-term rate of return, an asset gain or loss

is created.  Gains and losses are generally amortized over a 7-year period.  As an example, each $1.0 million in asset loss created by unfavorable investment performance results in seven annual payments (contributions) of approximately $0.2 million depending upon the precise effective interest rate in the valuation and the timing of the contribution.

 

Salaried employees hired after December 31, 2005 and hourly employees hired after June 30, 2007 are not covered by the pension plan; however, they are eligible for an enhanced matching program of the defined contribution plan (401(k)). Effective December 31, 2007, the U.S. pension plan was amended to freeze benefits for all non-union employees in the U.S.  Effective September 30, 2009, the U.K. pension plan was amended to freeze benefits for fourteen members of the plan.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future 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. Assumptions and estimates with respect to estimated future cash flows used in the evaluation are subject to a high degree of judgment and complexity.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Restricted Stock Plan

 

On February 23, 2009, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan that reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance.  Grants of restricted stock are rights to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals and vesting of grants to participants will also be time-based.

 

Restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the vesting period or if the performance goal is not met.  The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goal will be achieved. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The plan provides for the adjustment of the number of shares covered by an outstanding grant and the maximum number of shares for which restricted stock may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event.

 

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has two stock option plans that authorize the granting of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and non-employee directors for the purchase of a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The original option plan was adopted in August 2004 pursuant to the plan of reorganization and provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In January 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a second option plan that provides for options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each plan provides for the adjustment of the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, options granted under the option plans are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest 33 1/3% per year over three years from the grant date.

 

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which was primarily codified into Topic 718 (Compensation — Stock Compensation) in the ASC.  The statement requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. This statement applies to all awards granted after the effective date and to modifications, repurchases or cancellations of existing awards. Additionally, under the modified prospective method of adoption, the Company recognizes compensation expense for the portion of outstanding awards on the adoption date for

which the requisite service period has not yet been rendered based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The amount of compensation cost is measured based upon the grant date fair value. The fair value of the option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions on dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, expected volatilities, expected forfeiture rate, and expected lives of the options.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”), which was primarily codified into Topic 740 (Income Taxes) in the ASC, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. This guidance also requires deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of whether or not a valuation allowance is needed is based upon an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence. In its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance, the Company assesses prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The ultimate amount of deferred tax assets realized could be different from those recorded, as influenced by potential changes in enacted tax laws and the availability of future taxable income.

 

On October 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes which was primarily codified into Topic 740-10 (Income Taxes - Overall) in the ASC.  This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return.  It also provides guidance related to reversal of tax positions, balance sheet classification, interest and penalties, interim period accounting, disclosure and transition.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and the price of nickel and natural gas.

 

Changes in interest rates affect the Company’s interest expense on variable rate debt. Interest charged on the Company’s credit facility is subject to a floating interest rate.  The Company’s outstanding variable rate debt was zero at June 30, 2009 and 2010.  The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to hedge the effects of changes in interest rates.

 

The foreign currency exchange risk exists primarily because the foreign subsidiaries maintain receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than their functional currency or the U.S. dollar. The foreign subsidiaries manage their own foreign currency exchange risk. The U.S. operations transact their foreign sales in U.S. dollars, thereby avoiding fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Any currency exchange rate exposure aggregating more than $500,000 requires approval from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company is not currently party to any currency contracts.

 

Fluctuations in the price of nickel, the Company’s most significant raw material, subject the Company to commodity price risk. The Company manages its exposure to this market risk through internally established policies and procedures, including negotiating raw material escalators within product sales agreements, and continually monitoring and revising customer quote amounts to reflect the fluctuations in market prices for nickel. The Company does not presently use derivative instruments to manage this market risk, but may in the future. The Company monitors its underlying market risk exposure from a rapid change in nickel prices on an ongoing basis and believes that it can modify or adapt its strategies as necessary. The Company periodically purchases raw material forward with certain suppliers. However, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to successfully offset a rapid increase in the cost of raw material in the future.

 

On June 11, 2009, to mitigate the volatility of the natural gas markets, the Company entered into a commodity swap-cash settlement agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank.  The Company agreed to a fixed natural gas price on a total of 300,000 MMBTU, at a settlement rate of 50,000 MMBTU per month for a period spanning October 2009

to March 2010.  As of June 30, 2010, 300,000 MMBTU had been settled for a net realized hedging loss of $0.3 million.  The Company is not currently a party to any commodity swap — cash settlement agreements.

 

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, 2010 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
