NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Note 1.Basis of Presentation

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with information reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 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, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2016 or any interim period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Note 2.New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of the update is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the methods of adoption allowed by the new standard and the effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330).  The objective of this update was to simplify the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.  The adoption of these changes is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest – Imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires entities to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  In August 2015, the FASB clarified ASU 2015-15 to address presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements.  This amendment allows for the reporting entity to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit agreement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement, including interim periods within that reporting period.  It is effective for fiscal 2017, including interim periods, and is not expected to result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In February, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  This new guidance will require that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term of more than twelve months, with the result being the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability.  The new lease accounting requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The objective of this update was to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  The new share-based compensation accounting requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.   The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4.Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, differing tax rates on foreign earnings and discrete tax items that impacted income tax expense in these periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 7.8% compared to 39.1% in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was 14.0% compared to 34.6% in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The lower effective tax rate for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2016 is primarily attributable to a research and development tax credit that was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, which decreased tax expense by approximately $800.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.  The objective of this update was to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company chose to adopt this standard change prospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

The Company contributed $4,500 to Company-sponsored domestic pension plans, $4,569 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $651 to the U.K. pension plan for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. The Company presently expects future contributions of $1,500 to its U.S. pension plan, $1,250 to its other post-retirement benefit plan, and $200 to the U.K. pension plan for the remainder of fiscal 2016.

 

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, commercial, employment and federal and/or state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative actions.  Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty; 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 is currently, and has in the past been, subject to claims involving personal injuries allegedly relating to its products and processes. For example, the Company is presently involved in two actions involving welding rod-related injuries, which were filed in California state court against numerous manufacturers, including the Company, in May 2006 and February 2007, respectively, alleging that the welding-related products of the defendant manufacturers harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of

8


 

welding fumes containing manganese. The Company is also involved in three actions related to asbestos in its facilities, which were filed in 2012 and 2014. The Company believes that it has defenses to these lawsuits and that, if the Company were to be found liable, the cases would not have a material effect on its financial position, 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. The Company also has a single post-closure permit applicable to both the North and South Landfills, which contains 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 additional area of concern and one additional solid waste management unit. The RFI commenced in fiscal 2008 and is ongoing. Based on preliminary results, the Company has determined that additional testing and further source remediation are necessary.

 

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 action by the Company could be required.

 

On August 3, 2012, the Company received an information request from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, relating to the Company’s compliance with laws relating to air quality. The Company responded to the request, and there has been no further action by the EPA.

 

As of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Company has accrued $749 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, of which $662 is included in long-term obligations as it is not due within one year.  Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the post-closure monitoring.

 

Expected expenditures for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) included in long-term obligations were as follows at June 30, 2016.

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 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 first priority security interest in its four-high Steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements. The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing). The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium hot-rolling conversion services to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the agreement. The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including liquidated damages of $25,000 and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages.  Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur.  Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract.  The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-

9


 

line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement.  If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

In the first nine months of fiscal 2016, the Company received advance payments of $16,069 related to special projects of which $4,818 was recognized as revenue upon shipment, during the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The remaining amount of $11,251 will be recognized as revenue when product ships to the customer.

 

Note 8.Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

 

The Company has goodwill, patents, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles.  As the patents and customer relationships have a definite life, they are amortized over lives ranging from two to sixteen years.  The company reviews patents and customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.   If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. 

 

Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), or more frequently if impairment indicators exist.  If the carrying value of a trademark exceeds its fair value (determined using an income approach, based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment.  The impairment test for goodwill is performed using a two-step approach.  The first step is the estimation of the fair value of the relevant reporting unit, which is compared to its carrying value.  No impairment was recognized in the period ended June 30, 2016 because the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit accounting for the Company’s goodwill (as described below) exceeded its carrying value. 

 

On January 7, 2015, the Company acquired the assets and operations of Leveltek Processing, LLC in LaPorte, Indiana for $14,600 in cash (See Note 14, Acquisition).  In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $4,789 and customer relationships intangible assets of $2,100.  As the customer relationships have a definite life, the Company amortizes them over a period of 16 years under an accelerated method and tests them for impairment at least annually as of August 31 (the annual impairment testing date).

Note 9.Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

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 grants of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to transfer restrictions, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may set vesting requirements based on the achievement of specific performance goals or the passage of time.  After November 24, 2015, the Company is no longer granting awards from this plan. 

 

Restricted shares are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the vesting date or if any applicable performance goals are 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 goals 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. 

 

On November 24, 2015, the Company granted 54,210 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The time-based shares of restricted stock granted to employees will vest on the third anniversary of their grant date if the recipient is still an employee of the Company on such date.  The performance-based shares will vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of their grant date provided that (a) the recipient is still an employee of the Company on such date and (b) the Company has met annual net income performance goals set by the Company’s Compensation Committee, provided that, if the Company has exceeded a total net income performance goal for the three year period, restricted shares that did not vest due to the Company’s failure to meet the annual net income performance goals will vest at the end of such three year period.  The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors will vest on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the date of grant or (b) the failure

12


 

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 grants was $37.75 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the applicable grant.

The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock at June 30, 2016 was $2,006, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.73 years. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased 7,661 shares of stock from employees at an average purchase price of $37.72 to satisfy required withholding taxes upon vesting of restricted stock-based compensation. 

 

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 first option plan was adopted in August 2004 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 331/3% per year over three years from the grant date. The amount of compensation cost recognized in the financial statements is measured based upon the grant date fair value.  After November 24, 2015, the Company is no longer granting awards from these plans.

 

The fair value of option grants is estimated as of the date of the grant. 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 expectations 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 the first quarter of fiscal 2016:

On November 24, 2015, the Company granted 79,800 options at an exercise price of $37.75, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock the day of the grant. During the first nine months of fiscal 2016, 10,000 options were exercised.

 

The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 was $136 and $127, respectively and for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016 was $398 and $387, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at June 30, 2016 was $891 to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.34 years.

2016 Incentive Compensation Plan

 

On March 1, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan which provides for grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, stock options and stock appreciation rights.  Up to 275,000 shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares may be granted in the aggregate under the plan.  Up to 425,000 stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted in the aggregate under the plan.  The plan provides for adjustment of the maximum number of awards to be granted under certain circumstances, including in the event of a merger, reorganization, stock split or similar recapitalization event.  Grants may be subject to performance goals or may be time-based.  Awards may be subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the end of the vesting period or if any applicable performance goals are not met.  The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether performance goals will be achieved.  The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goals will be achieved.  The fair value of the grants is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

 

Note 11.  Dividend

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend. The dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was paid June 15, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2016.  The dividend cash pay-out was $2,748 for the quarter based on the number of shares outstanding.

 

On August 4, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend is payable September 15, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2016.

Note 12.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value.

 

·

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

·

Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs  are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

·

Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value 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. Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents of $49,045 and $44,418 as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2016, respectively, are considered Level 1.

 

Note 13.  Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component

 

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

Note 14.  Acquisition

 

On January 7, 2015, the Company acquired the assets and operations of Leveltek Processing, LLC located in LaPorte, Indiana for $14,600 in cash.  The acquisition of the LaPorte assets provides the Company control of sheet stretching, leveling, slitting and cut-to-length operations that were previously outsourced functions. Acquisition costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were not significant. The acquired business is being operated by LaPorte Custom Metal Processing, LLC (LCMP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

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, gas turbine engines, and industrial heating and heat treatment 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. Management believes Haynes is one of the principal producers of high-performance alloy flat products in sheet, coil and plate forms, and sales of these forms, in the aggregate, represented approximately 60% of net product revenues in fiscal 2015. 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’s products are sold primarily through its direct sales organization, which includes 14 service and/or sales centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. All of these centers are Company operated.

 

Dividends Paid and Declared

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend was paid on June 15, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2016.  The dividend cash pay-out in the third quarter was approximately $2.7 million based on the number of shares outstanding and equal to approximately $11.0 million on an annualized basis.

 

On August 4, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend is payable September 15, 2016 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2016.

 

Capital Spending

 

The Company has made progress on the capital projects to increase sheet manufacturing capacity in the Kokomo operations in order to help keep pace with anticipated growth in the aerospace market. In order to respond to expected continued demand, total planned  capital expenditures of $30.0 million in fiscal 2016 include investments in the heat treating and cold rolling areas, where the

19


 

Company is currently constrained, of approximately $16.6 million and the manufacturing phase of the Company’s IT systems upgrade of approximately $1.7 million.  The remaining $11.7 million of planned spending throughout the Company’s manufacturing facilities is considered a maintenance level of spending. Capital investment in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $22.1 million

 

Volumes, Competition and Pricing

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company benefitted from increased volumes of project-oriented specialty application business utilizing proprietary alloys as compared to the lower levels in the first and second quarters.  These projects are included in results for the Company’s chemical processing market, where the average selling price per pound increased sequentially from $20.20 per pound in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 to $27.48 per pound in the third quarter.  Volumes of these specialty application projects are expected to continue at a similar level in the fourth quarter as well.  These specialty projects provide an offset to lower base-volume levels in certain of the Company’s markets with global macro-economic headwinds in the industrial sector.  The Company has experienced increased competition in certain markets as producers are dealing with lower utilization rates.  Management expects base-volumes and prices to continue to be challenged in the fourth quarter due to, among other factors, lowered demand, the continued strong dollar and uncertainties in the global macro-economic and political environment. 

 

The market price of nickel moderately increased over the third quarter of fiscal 2016 after being relatively stable over the second quarter of fiscal 2016.  However, the significant decline in market price over fiscal 2015 and the first quarter of fiscal 2016 continues to have an unfavorable impact on the Company’s financial results.  Falling nickel prices create compression on gross margins due to pressure on selling prices, combined with higher cost of sales, as the Company ships higher-cost inventory acquired in prior periods with higher nickel prices.  Compression was significant in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, but is expected to decrease in the fourth quarter.  The Company values inventory utilizing the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory costing methodology. In a period of decreasing raw material costs, the FIFO inventory valuation method normally results in higher costs of sales as compared to the last-in, first-out method. 

 

Set forth below are selected data relating to the Company’s net revenues, gross profit, backlog, the 30-day average nickel price per pound as reported by the London Metals Exchange and a breakdown of net revenues, shipments and average selling prices to the markets served by the Company for the periods shown. The data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and the remainder of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in this Form 10-Q.

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 nine 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.

 

Backlog was $187.2 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately $6.3 million, or 3.3%, from $193.5 million at March 31, 2016. The backlog dollars decreased during the third quarter of fiscal 2016 due to a 3.8% decrease in the average selling price per pound partially offset by a 0.5% increase in pounds.  The decrease in average selling price per pound reflects a change in product mix in the backlog.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $101.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 16.5% from $121.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2015.   Volume was 4.4 million pounds in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 8.5% from 4.8 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The decrease in volume is due to the lower level of overall activity and the impact of global economic concerns.  While specialty application project volumes in certain markets improved in the third quarter compared sequentially to the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016, the project orders shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015 decreased. The product-sales average selling price was $21.56 per pound in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 8.5% from $23.56 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The average selling price decreased as a result of lower raw material market prices, which represented approximately $1.11 per pound of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $1.27 of the decrease, partially offset by a $0.38 per pound increase due to changes in product mix.

Sales to the aerospace market were $47.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 16.7% from $56.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a 16.3% decrease in volume combined with a 0.5% decrease in average selling price per pound.  The decrease in volume reflects supply chain adjustments as the transition to new generation engines progresses. The average selling price per pound decrease reflects a change in market prices of raw material, which represented $1.29 of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented $0.95 of the decrease, partially offset by a change to a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $2.12.  The increase in the average selling price per pound due to a higher-value product mix appears to be partially driven by new generation jet engine production beginning to gain traction with higher-valued alloys that improve the Company’s product mix in this market.

 

Sales to the chemical processing market were $20.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 15.3% from $24.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a 12.6% decrease in volume combined with a 3.1% decrease in average selling price per pound.  Volumes decreased due to a lower level of overall activity in the chemical processing market.  While increased levels of project orders shipped in the third quarter compared sequentially to the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016, lower levels of project orders shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2015.  The average selling price per pound decrease reflects increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $3.73 of the decrease, and a change in market prices of raw materials, which represented approximately $1.11 of the decrease, partially offset by a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.96 due to a higher percentage of proprietary alloys sold in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

 

Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $16.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 8.5% from $17.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a decrease of 23.3% in average selling price per pound partially offset by an increase of 19.4% in volume.  Volumes increased due to a higher level of ingot orders shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period of fiscal 2015.  The decrease in average selling price primarily reflects a lower-value mix of product form (i.e. ingots), which represented approximately $2.75 of the decrease, a change in market prices of raw materials, which represented approximately $0.84 of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $0.41 of the decrease.

 

Sales to other markets were $10.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 25.6% from $14.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a 21.7% decrease in volume, combined with a 5.0% decrease in average selling price per pound.  The decrease in volume was primarily due to a lower amount of project business shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, which highlights the sporadic nature of these projects.   The decrease in average selling price reflects lower raw material market prices, which represented approximately $1.01 of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $0.97 of the decrease, partially offset by a change to a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.43.

 

Other Revenue.  Other revenue was $6.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 19.7% from $8.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. The decrease is due primarily to a decline in conversion sales due to the slower economic environment.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $88.0 million, or 86.9% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $97.1 million, or 80.1% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2015. Cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased by $9.1 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2015 primarily due to lower volumes and lower raw material costs.      

 

Gross Profit.  As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $13.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $10.9 million from the same period of fiscal 2015. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 13.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to 19.9% in the same period of fiscal 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to a less profitable mix of products sold in fiscal 2016 related to the lower specialty application projects and falling nickel prices.   Falling nickel prices created compression on gross margins due to pressure on selling prices from lower nickel prices, combined with higher cost of sales as the Company sells the higher-cost inventory melted in a prior period with higher nickel prices. 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.    Selling, general and administrative expense was $9.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $3.2 million from the same period of fiscal 2015.  This decrease is primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains of $0.9 million realized in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $1.3 million of foreign exchange losses realized in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, combined with a $0.7 million reduction from reduced management incentive compensation.  Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 9.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to 10.2% for the same period of fiscal 2015.

 

Research and Technical Expense.  Research and technical expense was $0.9 million, or 0.9% of revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to $0.9 million, or 0.7% of revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2015.

 

Operating Income.  As a result of the above factors, operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $3.1 million compared to operating income of $10.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2015.

23


 

 

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense was $0.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $4.0 million from an expense of $4.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was 7.8%, compared to 39.1% in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The lower effective tax rate this quarter was primarily attributable to the recognition of a research and development tax credit that had a $0.8 million benefit to income tax expense in the quarter      

 

Net Income.  As a result of the above factors, net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $2.8 million, a decrease of $3.8 million from net income of $6.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2015.

Net Revenues.  Net revenues were $298.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 19.4% from $370.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. Volume was 13.5 million pounds in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 11.3% from 15.2 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The decrease in volume is due to the lower level of project orders in chemical processing and other markets as well as adjustments in the inventory in the aerospace supply chain in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015.  The product-sales average selling price was $20.80 per pound in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 9.6% from $23.01 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The average selling price decreased as a

24


 

result of lower raw material market prices, which represented approximately $1.65 per pound of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $0.59 per pound of the decrease, partially offset by a change in product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.03. 

 

Sales to the aerospace market were $146.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 8.2% from $160.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a 7.4% decrease in volume combined with a 0.8% decrease in average selling price per pound.  The decrease in volume appears to reflect adjustments in the supply chain.  The average selling price per pound decrease reflects a change in market prices of raw material, which represented $1.71 of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented $0.22 of the decrease, partially offset by a change to a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.73.  The increase in the average selling price per pound due to a higher-value product mix, appears to be partially driven by new generation jet engine production beginning to gain traction with higher-valued alloys that improve the Company’s product mix in this market.

 

Sales to the chemical processing market were $49.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 45.0% from $90.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a 37.7% decrease in volume combined with an 11.7% decrease in average selling price per pound.  Volumes decreased due to a lower level of both base business and project orders shipped compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2015.  The lower level of project orders shipped in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period in fiscal 2015 highlights the sporadic nature of these projects.  The average selling price per pound decrease reflects increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $2.37 of the decrease, and a change in market prices of raw materials, which represented approximately $1.54 of the decrease, partially offset by a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.79 due to a higher amount of proprietary alloys sold in the first nine months of fiscal 2016.

 

Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $52.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 5.3% from $55.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a decrease of 19.0% in average selling price per pound partially offset by an increase of 16.9% in volume.  Volumes increased due to a higher level of ingot and plate orders shipped in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period of fiscal 2015.  The decrease in average selling price primarily reflects a change to a lower-value product mix, which represented approximately $1.21 of the decrease, lower market raw material prices, which represented approximately $1.60 of the decrease, and increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $0.33 of the decrease.

 

Sales to other markets were $32.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 27.9% from $45.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, due to a 30.7% decrease in volume partially offset by an increase of 4.1% in average selling price per pound.  The decrease in volume was primarily due to a lower amount of project business shipped in the first nine months of fiscal 2016.   The increase in average selling price reflects a higher-value product mix, which represented approximately $3.11 of the increase, partially offset by increased competition, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.26, and lower raw material market prices, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.70.

 

Other Revenue.  Other revenue was $17.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 12.1% from $19.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2015. The decrease is due primarily to a decline in conversion sales combined with adjustments to sales reserves. 

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $264.6 million, or 88.5% of net revenues, in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to $298.4 million, or 80.5% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2015. Cost of sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 decreased by $33.8 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2015 primarily due to lower volumes and raw material costs.   

 

Gross Profit.  As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $34.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $38.0 million from the same period of fiscal 2015. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue decreased to 11.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 as compared to 19.5% in the same period of fiscal 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to a less profitable mix of products sold in fiscal 2016 related to the lower specialty application projects and falling nickel prices.   Falling nickel prices created compression on gross margins due to pressure on selling prices from lower nickel prices, combined with higher cost of sales as the Company sells the higher-cost inventory melted in a prior period with higher nickel prices.  In addition, the falling nickel prices combined with compressing gross margins necessitated inventory valuation adjustments to adjust inventory to lower net realizable values.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  Selling, general and administrative expense was $29.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $2.8 million from the same period of fiscal 2015. The decrease in expense was primarily driven by changes in foreign exchange combined with lower management incentive compensation expense in fiscal 2016.  Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues increased to 9.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to 8.6% for the same period of fiscal 2015 primarily due to lower revenues.

 

25


 

Research and Technical Expense.  Research and technical expense was $2.7 million, or 0.9% of revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to $2.7 million, or 0.7% of revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2015.

 

Operating Income.  As a result of the above factors, operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $2.5 million compared to operating income of $37.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2015.

 

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense was $0.3 million in the first nine months fiscal 2016, a decrease of $12.8 million from an expense of $13.1 million the same period of fiscal 2015.  The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was 14.1%, compared to 34.6% in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The lower effective tax rate this year was primarily attributable to the recognition of a research and development tax credit that had a $0.8 million benefit to income tax expense in the third quarter. 

 

Net Income.  As a result of the above factors, net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $1.9 million, a decrease of $22.8 million from net income of $24.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2015.

 

Working Capital

 

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $269.7 million at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $7.8 million or 2.9% from $277.5 million at September 30, 2015. This decrease resulted primarily from accounts receivable decreasing $8.3 million, partially offset by accrued expenses decreasing $4.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2016.  Inventory decreased by $2.2 million due to lower business volumes and lower costs of inventory driven by falling commodity prices partially offset by longer production cycle times associated with the Company’s aerospace market business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Comparative cash flow analysis

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2016, the Company’s primary sources of cash were cash on-hand and cash provided by operating activities, as detailed below.  At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $44.4 million (excluding restricted cash of $9.2 million) compared to $49.0 million at September 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.9 million that was held by foreign subsidiaries in various currencies.

 

For the first nine months of fiscal 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $26.3 million compared to net cash provided by operations of $38.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2015.  Net income of $1.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to net income $24.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2015 was the primary driver for the change in addition to higher pension and post-retirement payments in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 of $9.8 million compared to $4.1 million over the same period of fiscal 2015.  Partially offsetting these items was cash generated from lower controllable working capital of $2.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to cash used from higher controllable working capital of $6.1 million over the same period of fiscal 2015, and income taxes payments of $0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to income tax payments of $12.2 million in the first nine-months of fiscal 2015.  Net cash used in investing activities was $22.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to $28.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2015.  The reduction in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the Company’s acquisition of Leveltek – LaPorte assets of $14.6 million in the first nine months of 2015, partially offset by higher additions to property, plant and equipment of $8.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 as a result of the Company’s investments in sheet manufacturing capacity.   Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 of $8.4 million included $8.2 million of dividend payments and approximately $0.3 million of stock re-purchases made to satisfy taxes in relation to the vesting of restricted stock granted to officers and other employees.

 

Future sources of liquidity

 

The Company’s sources of liquidity for the remainder of fiscal 2016 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on-hand and, if needed, borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility.  At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash of $44.4 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 a borrowing base formula and certain reserves that could limit the Company’s borrowing to approximately $105.0 million. 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

 

The Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with certain other lenders with an effective date of July 14, 2011. On July 7, 2016,

26


 

the Company amended the agreement to, among other things, extend the term through July 7, 2021 and reduce unused line fees and certain administrative fees. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement is $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. The Amended Agreement permits an increase in the maximum revolving loan amount from $120.0 million up to an aggregate amount of $170.0 million at the request of the borrowers. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either Wells Fargo’s “prime rate”, plus up to 0.75% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up to 2.0% per annum.  As of June 30, 2016, the U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of zero. In addition, the Company must pay monthly, in arrears, a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum (0.25% prior to the July 7, 2016 amendment) on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay 1.5% 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. The covenant pertaining to fixed charge coverage ratios is only effective in the event the amount of excess availability under the revolver is less than 10.0% of the maximum credit revolving loan amount (12.5% prior to the July 7, 2016 amendment). The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met (which do not apply in the case of dividends less than $20.0 million in the aggregate in a year and repurchases in connection with the vesting of shares of restricted stock). As of June 30, 2016, the most recent required measurement date under the Amended Agreement, management believes the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Amended Agreement. 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 the equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding the four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET’) to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement with TIMET (see discussion of TIMET at Note 7 in the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of a 65% equity interest in each of the Company’s direct 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;

 

·

Capital spending;

 

·

Dividends to stockholders; and

 

·

Pension and postretirement plan contributions.

Capital investment in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was $22.1 million, and the forecast for capital spending in fiscal 2016 is $30.0 million.  See “Capital Spending” in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of actual and planned capital spending.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at June 30, 2016. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that information since the end of fiscal 2015.

 

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As of June 30, 2016, there were no material changes in the market risks described in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

 

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, 2016.

 

Effective May 1, 2016 the Company implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP information technology solution for the Kokomo manufacturing and cost accounting functions. The implementation of these ERP modules resulted in material changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Therefore, modifications to the design and documentation of internal control processes and procedures relating to the new system to replace and supplement existing internal controls over financial reporting were made as appropriate. Evaluation of the operating effectiveness of these internal controls is ongoing and will be completed by the end of fiscal 2016. The system changes were undertaken to integrate systems and consolidate information, and were not undertaken in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

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