Schnitzer Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Significantly Increased Earnings Per Share
Auto and Metals Recycling Division Reports Strongest Second Quarter Performance Since Fiscal 2012
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2017--Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCHN) today reported results for its second quarter ended February 28, 2017. The Company reported earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.40 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.37. These results are significantly improved from prior year second quarter results of a loss per share from continuing operations of $1.48 and an adjusted loss per share of $0.25, as well as first quarter of fiscal 2017 results of a loss per share from continuing operations of $0.05 and an adjusted loss per share of $0.03. For a reconciliation of the adjusted results to U.S. GAAP, see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provided after the financial statements in this document.
Auto and Metals Recycling (AMR) delivered its best second quarter and first half fiscal year performance in five years. AMR's operating income of $26 million for the second quarter, or operating income per ferrous ton of $31, was more than double compared to the first quarter and substantially higher than the prior year quarter, driven by a combination of higher selling prices, metal spread expansion, and sustained benefits from our cost savings and productivity initiatives. Stronger demand for recycled ferrous metals in both the export and domestic markets in the second quarter resulted in a sequential 27% increase in average ferrous net selling prices and 2% increase in sales volumes. For the first half of fiscal 2017 compared to the prior year first half, ferrous sales volumes increased 9% and nonferrous volumes increased 10%, reflecting improved global demand for recycled metals and supply conditions and our focus on growth.
In the Steel Manufacturing Business (SMB), operating performance for the second quarter was impacted by higher beginning inventory costs following the major equipment upgrade in the first quarter, increased raw material costs which rose faster than selling prices, and continued high levels of imports. These factors contributed to an operating loss of $2 million for the second quarter, an improvement of $1 million sequentially. Finished steel average selling prices increased 5% sequentially and 3% from the prior year quarter. Sales volumes were 5% higher sequentially and 4% lower from the prior year quarter.
"Our second quarter results benefited from improved export and domestic markets and from the operating leverage created within AMR as a result of our productivity initiatives, cost reductions, and internally generated operating synergies. These factors contributed to AMR’s strongest second quarter and half-year results in the last five years," commented Tamara Lundgren, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While SMB continued to face challenging market conditions due to a combination of pressure from lower priced imports and seasonally slower demand, we expect SMB to see benefits from recent productivity initiatives and the onset of seasonally stronger construction activity."

Volumes: Ferrous sales volumes in the second quarter were 16% higher versus the prior year quarter, primarily due to stronger export and domestic demand, improved supply conditions and increased selling activity. Compared to the first quarter, volumes were 2% higher. Nonferrous sales volumes decreased 1% versus the prior year second quarter and 10% sequentially primarily due to the timing of shipments. Export customers accounted for 64% of total ferrous sales volumes. Ferrous and nonferrous products were exported to 16 countries with Turkey, South Korea and Bangladesh the top export destinations for ferrous shipments.
Pricing: Average ferrous net selling prices increased 47% compared to the prior year second quarter and 27% sequentially reflecting improved global demand for recycled metals. Nonferrous prices increased 10% from the prior year quarter and 12% sequentially reflecting higher commodity prices globally.
Margins: Operating income of $26 million and $39 million represents the best second quarter and half-year performance, respectively, since fiscal 2012. Operating income per ferrous ton of $31 for the second quarter more than doubled compared to the first quarter due to a combination of strengthening market conditions in both the export and domestic markets, which resulted in higher selling prices and metal spread expansion, and sustained benefits from our cost savings and productivity initiatives. Compared to the prior year second quarter, substantially improved operating results reflected a combination of stronger market conditions, improved supply flows and the benefits of our cost savings and productivity initiatives which contributed $4 million, or $5 per ton, of the improvement. Second quarter operating results included an estimated favorable impact of $4 million, or $5 per ton, from average inventory accounting, which compares to an adverse impact of $2 million, or $2 per ton, in the first quarter and an adverse impact of $1 million, or $2 per ton, in the prior year second quarter. Prior year second quarter results were also adversely impacted by $27 million in non-cash goodwill and other asset impairment charges.

(3) | Rolling mill utilization for fiscal 2017 is based on effective annual production capacity under current conditions of 580 thousand tons of finished steel products, reflecting a decrease in the effective finished steel production capacity resulting from the decommissioning of the older rolling mill during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. | |
Sales Volumes: Finished steel sales volumes in the second quarter decreased 4% from the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting continued competition from low-priced imports. Sequentially, volumes increased 5% primarily due to customer re-stocking and a rising price environment.
Pricing: Average net sales prices for finished steel products increased 3% from the prior year quarter and 5% sequentially, primarily reflecting the impact of higher raw material prices.
Margins: Operating performance for the second quarter was a loss of $2 million, an improvement of $1 million sequentially. Benefits from sequentially higher sales volumes and selling prices were partially offset by higher beginning inventory costs following the equipment upgrade in the first quarter, higher raw material costs which increased more rapidly than average selling prices and the continued impact from a high level of imports. Compared to the prior year second quarter, the decrease in operating results was primarily due to the combination of lower sales volumes and raw material costs rising faster than finished steel selling prices.
Corporate Items
Corporate selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of $10 million was higher compared to the prior year second quarter and sequentially, primarily due to increased incentive compensation accruals resulting from improved financial performance and, to a lesser extent, increased professional services expense.
The Company continues to deliver on its targeted $30 million of annual cost savings and productivity measures announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company achieved approximately $6 million in consolidated incremental benefits compared to the prior year quarter, primarily in AMR with the balance in SMB and reduced corporate shared services costs. In total, the Company has delivered $27 million in program benefits and expects to deliver the remaining $3 million of annual benefits by the end of fiscal 2017.
In the second quarter, the rising price environment led to higher working capital which offset the benefits to cash flow of improved profitability, resulting in positive operating cash flow of under $1 million. Total debt at the end of the second quarter was $209 million and debt, net of cash was $200 million (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for reconciliation to U.S. GAAP). The Company returned capital to shareholders through its 92nd consecutive quarterly dividend.
The Company's effective tax rate was an expense of 5% in the second quarter which was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to the Company’s full valuation allowance positions partially offset by increases in deferred tax liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains performance based on adjusted income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to SSI and adjusted consolidated, AMR and SMB operating income (loss), which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of these measures for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that presenting adjusted non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful presentation of our results from business operations excluding adjustments for a goodwill impairment charge, other asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, recoveries related to the resale or modification of previously contracted shipments, and income tax expense (benefits) associated with these adjustments, items which are not related to underlying business operational performance, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from business operations. Adjusted operating results in fiscal 2015 excluded the impact from the resale or modification of the terms, each at significantly lower prices due to sharp declines in selling prices, of certain previously-contracted bulk shipments for delivery during fiscal 2015. Recoveries resulting from settlements with the original contract parties, which began in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, are reported within SG&A expense in the quarterly statements of operations and are also excluded, with associated income tax expense (benefits), from the non-GAAP financial measures. Further, management believes that debt, net of cash, is a useful measure for investors because, as cash and cash equivalents can be used, among other things, to repay indebtedness, netting this against total debt is a useful measure of our leverage. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
