Volumes, Competition and Pricing
Due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, demand for the Company’s products has been negatively impacted across all of the Company’s major end markets. Most significantly aerospace volumes have declined with announced reductions in commercial aerospace build schedules combined with a reduction in repair, maintenance & overhaul activity. The commercial airline industry has been dramatically impacted along with the corresponding aerospace supply chain. Complicating the demand situation includes: 1) The elevated amount of inventory throughout the aerospace supply chain, 2) The significant number of undelivered new planes already built (primarily Boeing 737 MAX), 3) The significant number of parked planes taken out of service, and 4) The cash preservation mode occurring with many customers in the supply chain resulting in very conservative order entry trends. All of the major Company markets, not just aerospace, have been impacted by the last item noted. In addition, customers delaying capital expenditures in the chemical processing industry are being impacted by both economic condition uncertainty as well as low oil prices.
Last quarter, the Company estimated that overall volumes could be lower by 15

Guidance
The Company continues to see elevated uncertainty across all its markets especially in the aerospace market with announced reductions in commercial aerospace build schedules combined with higher inventory levels in the supply chain. The Company expects revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 to be comparable to the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and the Company expects to continue to generate cash from cost reduction initiatives along with inventory reduction. Earnings for the fourth quarter cannot be reliably estimated during this time of unprecedented market and economic conditions caused by COVID-19. Further adverse market conditions may result in additional charges to earnings in future periods, including expenses for unfavorable fixed cost absorption, impairment charges, and valuation reserves on inventory or taxes.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic, and the continuously evolving responses to combat it, have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy and our business.
COVID-19 related disruptions continued to negatively impact the Company’s financial and operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. In particular, the aerospace supply chain is currently absorbing significant downward adjustments to its forecasted demand. Markets other than aerospace have also been depressed with uncertainty and tight cash management impacting customer ordering patterns. The Company has taken significant actions to position itself to manage through the current market disruption caused by COVID-19. These measures include:
- Implemented a
10% reduction in salaries of all members of the executive team and cash compensation of the Board of Directors. Discontinued monthly accruals for management incentive compensation.
- A temporary shut-down of most of the Company’s production operations beginning the week of March 23, 2020, which impacted the last week of the second quarter and continued into the third quarter with operations resuming in mid-April in certain areas on a voluntary basis.
- Furloughs implemented for certain production, maintenance and salaried employees. The primary objective is to minimize spending as sales volume declines
- Eliminated approximately 60 salaried positions, implemented a global hiring freeze and eliminated annual merit increases for salaried employees.
- Requiring most salaried employees to take one week of unpaid time off during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
- Significant focus on reducing discretionary spending as well as reviewing and prioritizing capital expenditures.
- Focused on reducing inventory to line up with sales volumes. This inventory reduction strategy has and is expected to continue to generate cash.
The foregoing actions are expected to generate cost savings and cash benefits.
