KOKOMO, IN, May 4, 2023 – Haynes International, Inc. (NASDAQ GM: HAYN) (the “Company”), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high-performance alloys, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share.

“Demand for our high value differentiated products and services remains very strong. Year-on-year, revenue increased 30.5% with strong gains in each of our end markets. Our robust order entry drove our backlog to a company record of $447 million, up over 59% from last year”, said Michael L. Shor, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The combination of improved product mix, volume increases, unique products and services, and continued focus on variable cost reduction led to the fourth consecutive quarter of gross margins of at least 21%, excluding the estimated impact of raw material swings.”

2^nd Quarter Results

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $152.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of 30.5% from the same period of fiscal 2022 due to increases in volume in aerospace, industrial gas turbine and other markets, combined with increases in average selling price per pound in each of our markets. The increase in pounds sold is due to strong sales in the aerospace market, as well as our other markets, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022, partially offset by lower pounds sold in the chemical processing market. The increase in product average selling price per pound largely reflects price increases and other sales factors, which increased the product average selling price per pound by approximately $4.70. It also includes a favorable product mix, which increased product average selling price per pound by approximately $1.02,

‌

partially offset by slightly lower market prices of raw materials, which decreased product average selling price per pound by approximately $0.04

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $121.9 million, or 79.8% of net revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $93.6 million, or 80.0% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2022.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $30.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of $7.5 million from the same period of fiscal 2022. Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased compared to the same quarter of the prior year as a result of variable cost saving measures and a higher utilization of fixed costs driven from greater volumes shipped, which was partially offset by higher raw material prices included in cost of sales relative to the impact of raw material price adjustors in selling prices. Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 benefited from lower raw material prices included in cost of sales relative to the impact of raw material price adjustors in selling prices, which increased gross profit.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $12.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of $0.9 million, or 7.8%, from the same period of fiscal 2022. The decrease as a percent of net revenues from 10.1% to 8.3% for selling, general and administrative expense was largely driven by higher net revenues. The higher spend in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022 is a result of higher spending on outside costs related to information systems in addition to a $0.3 million loss incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 due to an uncollectible receivable from one customer. This higher spend was partially offset by lower management incentive compensation costs of $0.2 million and lower exchange rate losses of $0.2 million.

Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $1.0 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $0.9 million, or 0.8% of net revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2022.

Operating Income. The above factors, including increased sales volume, higher pricing as well as continued variable cost reductions, has led to improved operating income. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $17.1 million compared to $10.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2022.

Nonoperating retirement benefit expense. Nonoperating retirement benefit expense was a benefit of $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a benefit of $1.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2022. The lower benefit recorded in nonoperating retirement benefit was primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate used in the actuarial valuation of the U.S. pension plan liability as of September 30, 2022 which resulted in a higher interest cost component of nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income) in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Partially offsetting the higher interest cost was the amortization of the actuarial gains of the U.S. pension plan liability in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $3.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, a difference of $0.5 million from expense of $2.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2022, driven primarily by a difference in income before income taxes of $4.4 million. The second quarter of fiscal 2023 benefited from a discrete tax benefit of approximately $0.3 million that was related to restricted stock vestings and option exercises that occurred during the quarter. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 21.0% as compared to 24.7% during the same period of fiscal 2022.

Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $12.3 million, compared to $8.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2022.

Volumes and Pricing

Volume shipped in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 4.7 million pounds which is 7.6% higher than the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Aerospace volume increased 9.6% along with a 14.8% increase in aerospace average selling price, resulting in a 25.9% or $13.7 million aerospace revenue increase compared to the prior year. The volume increase was primarily driven by the single-aisle commercial aircraft recovery. Volumes in the chemical processing industry (CPI) decreased by 2.9%. However, CPI average selling price increased 28.9%, which resulted in a 25.2% or $5.8 million CPI revenue increase compared to the prior year. Industrial gas turbine (IGT) volumes were up 1.0% along with a 29.5% increase in the IGT average selling price, which resulted in a 30.8% or $7.6 million IGT revenue increase compared to the prior year. Other markets revenue increased 79.9%, and other revenue increased by 12.7%.

‌

The Company has an ongoing strategy of increasing margins. This is achieved by reducing processing costs as well as increasing pricing for the high-value, differentiated products and services it offers. The Company implemented multiple price increases for contract and non-contract business as market conditions improved and in response to higher inflation. Customer long-term agreements typically have adjustors for specific raw material prices and for changes in the producer price index to help cover general inflationary items. The product average selling price per pound in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $31.11, which is a 22.3% increase year-over-year, primarily due to the noted price increases and raw material adjustors.

Gross Profit Margin Trend Performance

The Company has made a significant strategic effort to improve gross margins over the past few years. As a result of this strategy, the Company reduced the volume breakeven point by over 25%. The Company previously struggled to be profitable at roughly 5.0 million pounds. With the current product mix, the Company can generate profits at lower volumes as first demonstrated in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, producing a positive net income at only 3.7 million pounds shipped.

Gross profit margin was 20.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 20.0% in the same period last year and 17.4% in first quarter of fiscal 2023. Volatility of raw materials, specifically nickel and cobalt, have impacted gross margins. During fiscal 2022 this impact was favorable due to rising raw material prices which increased gross margins; however, in the first and second quarter of fiscal 2023 this impact was unfavorable due to decreasing raw material prices which lowered gross margins. The estimated impact from raw material volatility in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was a headwind of $5.6 million compressing gross margin percentage by approximately 4.2%. Similarly, the estimated impact from raw material volatility in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was a headwind of $1.7 million that compressed gross margin percentage by approximately 1.1%. This compares to the previous year’s estimated impact in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 that was a favorable tailwind of approximately $2.6 million which increased gross margin percentage by approximately 2.2%.

Backlog

The Company experienced continued high levels of order entry over the past quarter. The Company established a record backlog of $446.7 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $38.6 million, or 9.4% from the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and an increase of $166.1 million, or 59.2%, from the same period of last year. In addition, the backlog has increased for 23 consecutive months. Backlog pounds increased 3.9% during the second quarter to approximately 14.1 million pounds and has increased by 33.1% from the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The growth was predominately in the aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets.

Capital Spending

During the first six months of fiscal 2023, capital investment was $7.3 million, and total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2023 are expected to be between $18.0 million and $22.0 million.

Working Capital

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $427.9 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $49.6 million, or 13.1%, from $378.3 million as of September 30, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from inventory increasing by $39.9 million, accounts payable and accrued expenses decreasing by $4.9 million and accounts receivable increasing by $4.8 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023.

Liquidity

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.9 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $8.4 million as of September 30, 2022. Additionally, the Company had $108.0 million of borrowings against the $160.0 million line of credit outstanding with remaining capacity available of $52.0 million as of March 31, 2023, putting total liquidity at $68.9 million.

Net cash used in operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2023 was $19.7 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $36.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in cash used in operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2023 was driven by an increase in accounts receivable of $1.1 million as compared to an increase of $17.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2022, an increase in inventory of $34.4 million as compared to an increase of $44.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2022 and net income of $20.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to net income of $13.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2022. This was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to an increase of $0.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2022, a difference of $9.5 million.

‌

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023, which was comparable to investing activities of $7.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2022 due to lower additions to property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $34.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023, an increase of $25.4 million from cash provided by financing activities of $9.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022. This difference was primarily driven by a net borrowing of $33.3 million against the revolving line of credit during the first six months of fiscal 2023 compared to a net borrowing of $21.5 million during the same period of fiscal 2022. Additionally, the Company had proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $8.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to proceeds from exercise of stock options of $0.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2022 and lower share repurchases of $0.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023 as compared to $6.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2022. Dividends paid of $5.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023 were comparable to same period of fiscal 2022.

Dividend Declared

On May 4, 2023, 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 June 15, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2023. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Guidance

Given the strength of the Company’s record backlog, along with the workforce additions and work-in-process inventory investments, the Company expects revenue and earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to be higher than the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Further, the Company continues to expect the full year fiscal 2023 to be 15-20% higher than fiscal 2022 for both revenue and earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA as reported herein refers to a financial measure that excludes from consolidated operating income (loss) non-cash charges for depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a relevant indicator of the Company’s value by eliminating the impact of financing and other non-cash impacts of past investments. Management uses its results excluding these non-cash amounts to evaluate its operating performance.

Adjusted Gross Profit Margin – Excluding estimated impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations

Management believes that Gross profit margin – Excluding estimated impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations provides a relevant indicator of the Company’s profitability by eliminating the impact of fluctuating impacts of nickel and cobalt prices which can compress or expand gross profit margin. The estimated gross margin impact from nickel and cobalt price fluctuations is derived from a model developed by the Company to measure how the price changes flow through net revenues and cost of sales. This model incorporates flow across each different type of pricing mechanism and the timing of how cost of nickel and cobalt flow to cost of sales including the impacts of the commodity price exposure of our scrap cycle. Management uses its results excluding these nickel and cobalt impacts to evaluate its operating performance.
