Haynes International (NASDAQ: HAYN) reported its Q3 fiscal 2024 results, noting a net revenue increase to $153.9M from $152.5M in Q2 and $143.9M last year. Aerospace market sales reached a record $82.6M, accounting for nearly 54% of total revenue. However, gross profit decreased to $25.5M, with a 16.6% gross margin, down from 18.1% last year, affected by raw material headwinds.

Despite a reduction in net income to $8.1M ($0.63 per share) from $8.8M ($0.68 per share) the previous year, the company maintained strong operating cash flow of $52.5M, leading to a $24.2M credit facility paydown. The backlog decreased to $405.7M, a 13.3% decline year-over-year. Capital expenditures reached $17.2M in the first nine months, with a total of $22-26M expected for the year.

Haynes is also progressing with its merger with North American Stainless, expecting final clearances in Q4 2024. The board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share.

Haynes International (NASDAQ: HAYN) ha riportato i risultati del terzo trimestre fiscale 2024, evidenziando un aumento del fatturato netto a 153,9 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 152,5 milioni del secondo trimestre e ai 143,9 milioni dell'anno scorso.

Insights

Haynes International's Q3 FY2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture. While revenue increased 7% year-over-year to $153.9 million, net income declined slightly to $8.1 million ($0.63 per diluted share) from $8.8 million ($0.68 per diluted share) in Q3 FY2023. The decrease was primarily due to raw material headwinds and lower production volumes.

The company's focus on cash generation is noteworthy, with year-to-date operating cash flow of $52.5 million resulting in a $24.2 million reduction in credit facility borrowings. This trend is expected to continue in Q4, strengthening the company's balance sheet.

However, the 13.3% year-over-year decline in backlog to $405.7 million is concerning, signaling potential challenges in demand. The company attributes this to a temporary slowdown, particularly in the aerospace sector due to Boeing's reduced build rates.

The aerospace market remains a bright spot, with record quarterly revenue of $82.6 million, representing nearly 54% of total revenue. This demonstrates Haynes' strong position in a critical high-tech manufacturing sector.

Looking ahead, management expects Q4 performance to be similar to Q3, indicating continued headwinds in the near term. The pending merger with North American Stainless, expected to close in Q4 2024, could be a game-changer for the company's long-term prospects.

Haynes International's Q3 results underscore the company's strong position in the aerospace market, despite broader industry challenges. The record $82.6 million in aerospace revenue, accounting for nearly 54% of total sales, is particularly impressive given the current headwinds in the sector.

The 6.7% year-over-year increase in aerospace revenue, driven by both volume (3.7% increase) and pricing (2.9% increase), demonstrates Haynes' ability to capitalize on demand for high-performance alloys in aircraft manufacturing. The growth in sales of proprietary alloy Haynes® 282® and titanium tubular products is especially noteworthy, as these high-value materials are critical for next-generation aircraft engines and structures.

However, the reduction in backlog and management's comments about lower order entry levels due to Boeing's build rate slowdown are cause for concern. This reflects the broader challenges facing the commercial aerospace supply chain, as OEMs adjust production rates in response to ongoing issues with certain aircraft models and a gradual recovery in air travel demand.

The temporary nature of this slowdown, as emphasized by management, aligns with industry projections of a strong long-term outlook for commercial aerospace. Haynes' focus on cash generation and inventory reduction during this period could position the company well for the eventual upturn in demand.

The pending merger with North American Stainless could potentially enhance Haynes' capabilities and market position in aerospace alloys, although the full implications remain to be seen pending the deal's closure and integration.

Haynes International's Q3 FY2024 results offer insights into broader market trends across several key industrial sectors. The company's performance reflects both opportunities and challenges in high-performance alloy markets.

In the aerospace sector, Haynes' record revenue suggests continued strong demand for advanced materials in aircraft manufacturing, despite well-publicized challenges faced by major OEMs. This could indicate that the aerospace supply chain is still in a growth phase, possibly driven by the need to replace aging fleets and meet increasing air travel demand in certain regions.

The chemical processing industry (CPI) segment shows a more complex picture. While volumes increased by 13.4% year-over-year, average selling prices decreased by 19%, resulting in an overall revenue decline. This could reflect overcapacity in the sector or increased competition, forcing suppliers like Haynes to be more aggressive on pricing.

The industrial gas turbine (IGT) market shows promising growth, with a 14% year-over-year revenue increase driven by both volume and pricing improvements. This might indicate increasing investment in power generation infrastructure, possibly linked to global energy transition efforts.

The overall 13.3% year-over-year decline in backlog is a trend to watch closely. While management attributes this to temporary factors, it could also signal broader economic uncertainties affecting capital investments across Haynes' end markets.

Lastly, the company's focus on margin expansion and cash generation aligns with broader trends in the industrial sector, where companies are prioritizing operational efficiency and balance sheet strength in the face of economic uncertainties.

  • Clearance obtained from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) related to the planned merger with North American Stainless, Inc.  Company expects that the remaining required clearances from the U.K. and Austria will be obtained for an expected transaction close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024.
  • Net revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 increased to $153.9 million as compared to $152.5 million in the second quarter this year and $143.9 million in last year’s cyber-impacted third quarter. Revenue shipped into the aerospace market in the third quarter was a Company record at $82.6 million, which was nearly 54% of total revenue.
  • Gross margin for the third quarter of 16.6%, unfavorably impacted by raw material headwinds of $3.4 million, which was lower than the second quarter’s $5.3 million, but higher than last year’s third quarter headwind of $1.5 million.  Excluding this raw material headwind, adjusted gross margin was 18.8% of revenue. After 8 consecutive quarters of raw material neutral margins (adjusted for the cyber-incident) of approximately 21%, the third quarter was impacted by lower production volumes and reduced efficiency as a result of lower order entry levels and the Company’s inventory reduction and cash generation actions. 
  • Strong year to date operating cash flow of $52.5 million resulted in a credit facility pay down of $24.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, which both are expected to continue in the fourth quarter.
  • Third quarter net income of $8.1 million or $0.63 diluted earnings per share, compared to last year’s third quarter net income of $8.8 million, or $0.68 diluted earnings per share.  Reduction largely driven by change in raw material headwind and the lower mill production levels.
  • Backlog of $405.7 million as of June 30, 2024, down 13.3% year-over-year due to slowing demand in the Company’s markets, which is believed to be temporary.
  • Capital investment in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 of $17.2 million. Total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 estimated at $22 to $26 million.
  • U.S. Pension Plan achieved next funding milestone exceeding 97.0% estimated funded, prompting asset allocation change to 92.5% fixed income and 7.5% equity based on the customized liability driven investing strategy employed to protect the funding percentage.
  • Regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock declared.

KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haynes International, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: HAYN) (the “Company”), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high-performance alloys, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share.

“Our third-quarter revenue grew 7% year over year, with our sales into the aerospace market hitting a quarterly Company record at $82.6 million, approaching 54% of our total sales. In addition, our focus on generating cash and reducing the revolver balance has built momentum with over $52 million in cash flow from operations year-to-date resulting in debt reduction of over $24 million, which is expected to continue through our fourth quarter. We also continue to make progress with our proposed merger with North American Stainless, a subsidiary of Acerinox, receiving CFIUS approval on June 27, 2024. We continue to expect the transaction to close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024”, said Michael L. Shor, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look forward, we are now experiencing reduced order entry and production volumes primarily due to the Boeing build rate slowdown along with our actions to reduce inventory and generate cash. We believe our reduced order entry levels are temporary and we remain optimistic about the market fundamentals and long term demand outlook.” 

3rd Quarter Results

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $153.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $10.0 million or 7.0% from the same period of fiscal 2023 due to an increase in pounds sold of 0.3 million or 7.5%, and higher other revenue of $0.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in product average selling price per pound of $0.22 or 0.7%. The small decrease in product average selling price per pound largely reflected price decreases and other sales factors, primarily in the chemical processing market, of $1.05 and lower market prices of raw materials, which decreased product average selling price per pound by approximately $0.62 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by a favorable product mix towards proprietary alloys and titanium tubular products, which increased product average selling price per pound by approximately $1.45.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $128.4 million, or 83.4% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $117.8 million, or 81.9% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2023. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was higher than the third quarter of fiscal 2023 due to higher raw material prices included in cost of sales relative to the impact of raw material price adjustors in selling prices.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $25.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.5 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues declined by 150 basis points, primarily due to a $1.9 million higher estimated unfavorable impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $12.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $0.9 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. The small increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was largely driven by $0.6 million of costs incurred as a result of the proposed merger with Acerinox S.A., together with other additional increases of $1.2 million driven by inflation and higher recruiting costs, primarily offset by $0.9 of lower management incentive compensation expense.

Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $1.1 million, or 0.7% of net revenues, for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.7% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2023.

Operating Income. The above factors resulted in operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 of $11.7 million, compared to $13.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.

Nonoperating retirement benefit income. Nonoperating retirement benefit income was a benefit of $0.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to a benefit of $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2023. The higher nonoperating retirement benefit recorded was primarily driven by a decrease in the discount rate used in the actuarial valuation of the U.S. pension plan liability as of September 30, 2023, which resulted in higher amortization of actuarial gains in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by a higher interest cost component of nonoperating retirement benefit income in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $1.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $2.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2023 primarily driven by lower average borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $2.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million from expense of $2.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily driven by the decrease in income before income taxes of $0.9 million. Income tax expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as a percentage of income before income taxes was 22.8% as compared to 23.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $8.1 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from net income of $8.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.

Volumes and Pricing

Volume shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was 4.8 million pounds, which was 7.5% higher than the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and was 2.5% higher sequentially than the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Aerospace volume increased by 3.7% and the aerospace average selling price per pound increased by 2.9% during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to last year’s third quarter, resulting in a 6.7%, or $5.2 million, aerospace revenue increase compared to the prior year. The $82.6 million in quarterly aerospace revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was a company record. Increased sales of proprietary alloy Haynes® 282® and titanium tubular products contributed to the record revenue. Volumes in the chemical processing industry (CPI) increased by 13.4% year-over-year, which was more than offset by CPI average selling price decreasing 19.0% compared to the prior year. The net resulted in an 8.1%, or $1.4 million, CPI revenue decrease compared to the prior year third quarter. The Company has recently been more aggressive in the commodity CPI alloys as the aerospace market is expected to slow, temporarily, as a result of Boeing reducing their planned build rates. Industrial gas turbine (IGT) volumes increased by 7.8% compared to last year’s third quarter and IGT average selling price increased 5.8%, resulting in a 14.0%, or $3.9 million, IGT revenue increase compared to the prior year. Volume and sales growth in IGT was a result of the Company’s alloy and application development as well as excellent customer service. Other markets revenue increased by 11.3% compared to the third quarter of last year and other revenue increased by 11.6% compared to the third quarter of last year.

The Company has an ongoing strategy of expanding margins. This has been 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 its contract and non-contract business as market conditions allowed 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 third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $30.65, which was a 0.7% decrease over the third quarter of last year, primarily due to declining raw material adjustors, mostly offset by the noted price increases.

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 per quarter. 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 16.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 18.1% in the same period last year and 17.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. 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 that drove increased gross margins; however, in fiscal 2023 the raw material impact turned unfavorable primarily due to cobalt prices decreasing. The raw material impact continued to be unfavorable in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 due to nickel prices decreasing which lowered gross margins. The estimated impact from raw material volatility in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was a headwind of $3.4 million that compressed gross margin by an estimated 2.2%, compared to last year’s third quarter, which had a lower raw material impact of $1.5 million that compressed gross margin, by only 1.1%. The third quarter fiscal 2024 margins were also compressed due to lower production volumes from uncertainty in certain markets and the Company’s cash generation and inventory reduction actions.

Backlog

Backlog was $405.7 million on June 30, 2024, a decrease of $32.9 million, or 7.5% from the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and a decrease of $62.4 million, or 13.3% from the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023.  Backlog pounds decreased 5.2% during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 from the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024 to approximately 12.3 million pounds, predominately due to lower levels of order entry in the aerospace market as customers reduce inventory levels in response to lowered expectation of Boeing build rates, especially since current production lead times are lower than in the past few years. Additionally, the reduction in manufacturing lead-times has led to lower order entry rates relative to volume sold in the industrial gas turbine market during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which has resulted in a 5.0% drop in backlog pounds in this market during the quarter.

Capital Spending

Capital investment in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $17.2 million, and total planned capital spending for fiscal 2024 is expected to be between $22.0 million and $26.0 million.

Working Capital

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $432.2 million as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of $17.2 million, or 3.8%, from $449.4 million as of September 30, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from inventory decreasing by $25.8 million and accounts receivable decreasing by $1.8 million, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses decreasing by $10.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

Liquidity

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.8 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to $10.7 million as of September 30, 2023.  Additionally, the Company had $90.6 million of borrowings against the $200.0 million line of credit outstanding with remaining capacity available of $109.4 million as of June 30, 2024, putting total liquidity at $121.2 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $52.5 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023. This year-over-year change in operating cash flow was driven by a decrease in inventory of $27.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to an increase of $47.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2023, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to a decrease of $11.0 million during the same period of fiscal 2023, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $11.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to a decrease of $4.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2023 and decreased net income of $24.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $28.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities was $17.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, which was higher than net cash used in investing activities of $11.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2023, due to higher additions to property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was $34.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2024, a difference of $55.8 million from net cash provided by financing activities of $21.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2023. This difference was primarily driven by a net repayment of $24.2 million against the Company’s credit facilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to a net borrowing of $23.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. Additionally, there were no proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to $8.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the same period of fiscal 2023 and share repurchases were $0.6 million higher in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. Dividends paid of $8.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024 were higher than dividends paid of $8.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2023 and debt issuance costs of $1.4 million in fiscal 2023 did not recur in fiscal 2024.

Dividend Declared

On July 31, 2024, 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 on September 16, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2024. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Guidance

The Company expects fourth quarter revenue and earnings to be similar to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as a result of the unfavorable impact of lower production volumes primarily due to two factors – the Boeing build rate slowdown, and the Company’s significant inventory reduction initiatives.

(the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (and subject to the terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement) such subsidiary of Acerinox S.A. will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock in a transaction structured as a merger of an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Acerinox S.A. with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as a surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Acerinox S.A. is providing a full performance guaranty with respect to its subsidiaries’ obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company's common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of common stock (i) held by the Company as treasury stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) owned by such subsidiary of Acerinox S.A. or any of its subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time or (iii) owned by stockholders who have properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive $61.00 per share in cash, without interest thereon.

As a result of the Merger, the Company will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acerinox S.A. The completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's stockholders, which occurred on April 16, 2024, and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, which waiting period expired on March 18, 2024, and the clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which was obtained on June 27, 2024. The Company expects that the final two regulatory approvals, from the United Kingdom and Austria, will be positively resolved and the required clearances will be obtained for an expected closing of the merger in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 and Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross profit % – excluding the estimated impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2024 that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations. They can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and in identifying operating trends that would otherwise be masked or distorted by the items subject to adjustments. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as supplemental and in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of our results and to illustrate our results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross profit % – excluding estimated impacts of nickel and cobalt fluctuations to their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, accompanied by reasons why the Company believes the non-GAAP measures are important, are included in Schedules 6 and 7.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a Percentage of Net Revenues

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 and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues 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.

(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share data)
 

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

Management believes that Adjusted Gross profit margin and Adjusted Gross profit % – Excluding the estimated impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations provide 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 profit and gross profit % 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 the cost of nickel and cobalt flows to cost of sales including the impacts of the commodity price exposure of the Company’s scrap cycle. Management uses its results excluding these nickel and cobalt price impacts to evaluate its operating performance.
