PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: CRS) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2021. For the quarter, the Company reported a net loss of $29.4 million, or $0.61 loss per diluted share. Excluding the special item, adjusted loss per diluted share was $0.58 for the quarter.

“Demand continues to improve as the recovery takes hold across our end-use markets, with our backlog up 35 percent sequentially and 106 percent year-over-year,” said Tony R. Thene, President and CEO of Carpenter Technology. “We continue to see signs of the Aerospace recovery with lead times increasing despite any near-term uncertainties from the latest wave of COVID-19 cases. In addition, during the quarter, we signed several customer contracts with Aerospace customers that include favorable pricing and expanded share opportunities.”

“Our Performance Engineered Products segment finished ahead of our expectations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, driven primarily by strong demand in the Medical end-use market. Within the Specialty Alloys Operations segment, near-term operational headwinds impacted our performance in the current quarter including production employee COVID-19 isolations, supply chain disruptions, and hiring challenges in a difficult labor environment. In addition, the unplanned outage of the press at our Reading, PA facility limited our ability to meet our production targets in the quarter.”

“We believe the operational challenges are short term in nature and are focusing our efforts on increasing our production rates to keep pace with growing demand. We are on-track with repairs to the Reading press and expect to have it operational in the current quarter. Looking ahead, we believe that we are well positioned for growth given the increasing demand across our end-use markets, our strong customer relationships, and the role our critical solutions play in the supply chain.”

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $396.0 million, compared with $348.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, an increase of $47.2 million (or 14 percent), on a 9 percent increase in shipment volume. Net sales excluding surcharge were $314.9 million, an increase of $15.5 million (or 5 percent) from the same period a year ago. The results reflect higher shipments to the Medical, Transportation, Industrial and Consumer and Distribution end-use markets partially offset by lower shipments to the Aerospace and Defense and Energy end-use markets.

Operating loss was $31.5 million compared to operating loss of $89.0 million in the prior year period. The prior year period included a goodwill impairment charge of $52.8 million. The improved results reflect higher sales as well as the full recognition of various cost savings actions taken in fiscal year 2021.

COVID-19 related costs, the special item excluded from adjusted operating loss in the current quarter, totaled $1.7 million. The COVID-19 related costs consisted of direct incremental operating costs including outside services to execute enhanced cleaning protocols, additional personal protective equipment, isolation pay for production employees potentially exposed to COVID-19 and various operating supplies necessary to maintain the operations while keeping employees safe against possible exposure in the Company’s facilities. Special items in the prior year period included $3.9 million of COVID-19 related costs as well as a $52.8 million goodwill impairment charge.

Cash used for operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $89.2 million compared to cash provided from operating activities of $83.6 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in operating cash flow primarily reflects investments in working capital, most notably inventory. The Company expects the inventory build in the first half of the year to be temporary and anticipates that inventory will be reduced in the second half of fiscal year 2022. Free cash flow in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was negative $116.3 million, compared to positive $51.0 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to investments in working capital partially offset by lower capital expenditures in the current year quarter. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $19.1 million, compared to $26.6 million in the same quarter last year.

Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance, was $391.6 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. This consisted of $96.9 million of cash and $294.7 million of available borrowing under the Company’s credit facility.

The Company has two reportable segments, Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”) and Performance Engineered Products (“PEP”).

The SAO segment is comprised of Carpenter’s major premium alloy and stainless steel manufacturing operations. This includes operations performed at mills primarily in Reading and Latrobe, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas as well as South Carolina and Alabama.

The PEP segment is comprised of the Company’s differentiated operations. This segment includes the Dynamet titanium business, the Carpenter Additive business and the Latrobe and Mexico distribution businesses. The Amega West business was part of the PEP segment however the business was divested during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The businesses in the PEP segment are managed with an entrepreneurial structure to promote flexibility and agility to quickly respond to market dynamics. It is our belief this model will ultimately drive overall revenue and profit growth. The pounds sold data above for the PEP segment includes only the Dynamet and Additive businesses.

Corporate costs are comprised of executive and director compensation, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also included are items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other specifically identified income or expense items.

The service cost component of net pension (income) expense, which represents the estimated cost of future pension liabilities earned associated with active employees, is included in the operating results of the business segments. The residual net pension (income) expense is comprised of the expected return on plan assets, interest costs on the projected benefit obligations of the plans, and amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and is included in other (income) expense, net.

Management believes that removing the impact of raw material surcharge from operating margin provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. In addition, management believes that excluding the impact of special items from operating margin is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s board of directors and others.
