"I'd like to thank the employees of TimkenSteel who worked tirelessly throughout 2020, under challenging conditions, to support our customers' needs while making significant progress on improving our cost structure and processes. These actions are helping to transform our company and will better position us to leverage improving end markets as we enter 2021," said Mike Williams, president and chief executive officer. "In 2020, the TimkenSteel team delivered improved adjusted EBITDA(2) and strong operating cash flow while, most importantly, achieving excellent safety performance.
"Our 2021 priorities are clear – improve our commercial effectiveness, enhance manufacturing efficiencies, and streamline business processes while continuing to take out unnecessary costs. We remain deeply focused on creating value for our shareholders through improved profitability and an intense focus on cash," stated Williams.
FOURTH QUARTER OF 2020 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
- Net sales of
$211.2 million increased 3 percent compared with$205.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, driven primarily by a continued rebound in automotive demand. Compared with the prior-year quarter, net sales declined 7 percent largely driven by lower ship tons. - Ship tons of 164,000 increased 6 percent sequentially as a result of higher automotive and industrial shipments. When compared with the prior-year quarter, ship tons declined 9 percent due to lower industrial, energy and OCTG billet demand, partially offset by higher automotive shipments.
- Manufacturing costs improved sequentially as a result of higher melt utilization and the timing of the planned annual maintenance shutdown that occurred in the third quarter of 2020. Compared with the prior-year quarter, manufacturing costs improved due to higher melt utilization and the impact of systemic cost reduction actions.
- SG&A expense was
$18.6 million , a 4 percent increase from the third quarter of 2020 as a result of higher variable compensation expense. Excluding certain items(2), SG&A expense improved 11 percent from the prior year period as a result of savings from employee restructuring actions.

FULL-YEAR 2020 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
- Net sales of
$830.7 million declined 31 percent compared with the prior year, driven largely by the negative impact on customer demand from the COVID-19 pandemic and a weak energy market. Additionally, the average raw material surcharge per ton decreased 25 percent as a result of lower scrap and alloy prices, which was slightly offset by positive mix in the industrial end market. - Ship tons were 640,400, a decrease of 29 percent from the prior year given the lower demand environment in 2020.
- Manufacturing costs were favorable compared with 2019 primarily as a result of significant cost reduction actions, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of weak demand on production levels and lower melt utilization.
- SG&A expense was
$76.7 million compared with$91.8 million in the prior year. Excluding certain items(2), SG&A expense declined$9.8 million or 11 percent as a result of cost reduction actions partially offset by higher variable compensation expense.
MANUFACTURING ASSET OPTIMIZATION
Throughout 2020, the company operated its manufacturing assets as demand required. In particular, the Harrison melt and casting assets operated at an average utilization rate of less than 25 percent in 2020. To improve the company's manufacturing efficiency and utilization, we plan to indefinitely idle the Harrison melt and casting assets late in the first quarter of 2021 and perform all melting and casting activities at our Faircrest location, also located in Canton, Ohio. We are working collaboratively with our employees, suppliers, and a number of customers to ensure a well-organized and efficient transition. The company's rolling and finishing operations at Harrison will not be impacted by this action. Annual cash savings from the indefinite idling of Harrison's melt and casting shop are expected to be in the range of
CASH AND LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 2020, the company's cash balance totaled
OUTLOOK
Given the extent and uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and TimkenSteel's customers, the company is not providing quantitative earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2021. We are, however, encouraged by recent improvements in automotive and industrial end market demand.
From a cash sources and uses perspective, the company expects:
- Cash from operating activities to be a use of cash in the first quarter of 2021 given improving demand and the rise in raw material prices.
- Capital expenditures to be approximately
$20 million in 2021. - Required pension contributions to be modest at
$1 million to$2 million in 2021.
