CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST), a leader in high-quality specialty steel, manufactured components, and supply chain solutions, today reported fourth-quarter 2021 net sales of $338.3 million and net income of $57.1 million, or $1.07 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(1), fourth-quarter 2021 net income was $42.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $62.1 million.

Third-quarter 2021 net sales were $343.7 million with net income of $50.1 million, or $0.94 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(1), third-quarter 2021 net income was $55.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $72.0 million.

Fourth-quarter 2020 net sales were $211.2 million with a net loss of $12.8 million, or a loss of $0.28 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(1), fourth-quarter 2020 net income was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $20.7 million.

"I'd like to thank the TimkenSteel employees for their resiliency and drive during a transformative year. The demand environment in 2021 remained robust throughout the year and coupled with our efforts to improve commercial effectiveness, enhance manufacturing efficiency, and streamline business processes, we achieved strong profitability and significant operating cash flow," said Mike Williams, president and chief executive officer. "We are guided by a set of new strategic imperatives – centered around people, sustainable through-cycle profitability, process improvement, business development, and environmental, social and governance, which we believe will serve as a roadmap for 2022 and beyond."

FOURTH-QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

  • Net sales of $338.3 million decreased 2 percent compared with $343.7 million in the third-quarter of 2021, driven primarily by lower shipments partially offset by higher base sales prices and improved product mix. Compared with the prior-year fourth-quarter, net sales increased 60 percent driven by a significant increase in the average raw material surcharge per ton as a result of higher scrap and alloy prices, improved industrial and energy demand, and higher base sales prices.
  • Ship tons of 198,300 decreased by 14,400 tons sequentially, or 7 percent. As expected, the sequential decrease in shipments was primarily driven by lower available melt capacity in the fourth-quarter as a result of the annual Faircrest plant maintenance shutdown. Customer demand remained strong during the fourth-quarter with shipments to industrial, mobile and energy customers proportionally similar to third-quarter levels. Compared with the prior-year fourth-quarter, total ship tons increased 21 percent with significant increases in both industrial and energy shipments.
  • Manufacturing costs increased sequentially by $13.7 million primarily driven by decreased fixed cost leverage on lower production volume, as well as a labor agreement ratification employee cash bonus of $2.0 million. Melt utilization of 71 percent in the fourth-quarter was impacted by the planned annual Faircrest plant maintenance shutdown as well as unplanned downtime. Compared with the prior-year fourth-quarter, manufacturing costs were flat.
  • SG&A expense was $16.8 million, a $3.1 million decrease from the third-quarter of 2021 as a result of lower salary, benefits and variable compensation expense. Compared with the prior-year fourth-quarter, SG&A expense decreased by $1.8 million largely due to lower salaries and benefits expense as a result of employee restructuring actions.

FULL-YEAR 2021 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Net income for the full-year 2021 was $171.0 million, or $3.18 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $61.9 million, or a loss of $1.38 per diluted share, for the full-year 2020. On an adjusted basis(1), full-year 2021 net income was $172.7 million, or $3.21 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $245.9 million. In comparison to the full-year 2020 on an adjusted basis(1), the net loss was $42.0 million, or a loss of $0.93 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $38.0 million.

  • Net sales of $1.3 billion increased 54 percent compared with the prior year, driven largely by a significant increase in average raw material surcharge per ton as a result of higher scrap and alloy prices, as well as higher shipments across all end markets.
  • Ship tons were 818,600, an increase of 28 percent from the prior year as a result of an improved customer demand environment. Industrial shipments increased to 50 percent of the total company in 2021 in comparison to 42 percent in 2020 and 39 percent in 2019. The company estimates that the semiconductor chip shortage drove an approximate 45,000 ton decrease in mobile end market shipments in 2021.
  • Manufacturing costs improved by $74 million compared with 2020 primarily as a result of increased fixed cost leverage with melt utilization of 73 percent in 2021 compared with 37 percent in 2020. Additionally, manufacturing costs benefited in 2021 from ongoing cost reduction actions.
  • SG&A expense was $77.2 million compared with $76.7 million in the prior year. Excluding certain items(1), SG&A expense declined slightly compared with 2020 driven by continued cost control and savings from restructuring actions, partially offset by higher variable compensation expense.

CASH AND LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2021, the company's cash balance was a record $259.6 million, benefitting from significant operating cash flow of $90.7 million in the fourth-quarter of 2021. For the full-year 2021, operating cash flow was $196.9 million driven by strong profitability. Total liquidity(2) was a record $510.7 million as of December 31, 2021. In January of 2022, the company repurchased $5 million of its convertible notes at a cash cost of $12.4 million.

2022 OUTLOOK

Commercial:

  • Customer demand remains strong, as evidenced by a full order book in the first-half of 2022.
  • Ship tons in the first-quarter of 2022 are expected to be down slightly from the fourth-quarter of 2021.
  • Price agreement negotiations are nearly complete with customers and represent approximately 70 percent of the 2022 order book with a meaningful increase in base prices compared with 2021 average base prices.
  • Surcharge revenue per ton is expected to decline in the first-quarter of 2022 as a result of a lower No. 1 busheling scrap index compared with the fourth-quarter of 2021.
  • Periodic customer manufacturing outages due to supply chain disruption may continue to negatively impact mobile shipments.

Operations:

  • Melt utilization is expected to be at or above 80 percent during the first-quarter.
  • Inflationary pressure is anticipated on commodities and consumables.

Cash:

  • Operating cash flow is expected to be near breakeven in the first-quarter of 2022 primarily driven by higher working capital and the cash payment of approximately $19 million of variable compensation earned in 2021.
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $40 million in 2022.

(1) EBIT is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and income taxes. EBIT is an important financial measure used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting EBIT is useful to investors as this measure is representative of the company's performance.


(2) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (5.9 million shares and 7.4 million shares, respectively) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (2.0 million shares and 1.7 million shares, respectively) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. As such, net income was adjusted to add back $0.8 million and $4.1 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

(1) For the three months ended December 31, 2021, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (5.9 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (2.0 million shares) were included in the computation of as reported and as adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was 54.1 million shares. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. As such, net income was adjusted to add back $0.8 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).


(2) Business transformation costs consist of items that are non-routine in nature. For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, these costs are primarily related to professional service fees associated with organizational changes. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, these costs are primarily related to professional service fees associated with the disposition of non-core assets, as well as CEO transition fees.


(3) Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are defined as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively, excluding, as applicable, adjustments listed in the foregoing table. Other adjusted items referred to in the foregoing tables are also defined as the applicable item excluding any adjustments listed in the foregoing tables with respect to such item.


(4) Common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards for the three months ended December 31, 2020, were included in the computation of adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes were excluded, as they were anti-dilutive in the computation of adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was 45.6 million shares.


(5) For the three months ended September 30, 2021, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (5.9 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.8 million shares) were included in the computation of as reported and as adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 53.9 million shares. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. As such, net income was adjusted to add back $0.8 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).


(6) Loss on sale of non-core assets consists of losses incurred related to older excess assets sold via an auction process.

Reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss)(3) to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share(3) to GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and other adjusted items referred to below are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented. Management believes this data provides investors with additional useful information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of the company's financial performance.

Reconciliation of Earnings (Loss) Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)(1), Adjusted EBIT(3), Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)(2) and Adjusted EBITDA(4) to GAAP Net Income (Loss):

This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the company's performance. EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important financial measures used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company's performance. Management also believes that it is appropriate to compare GAAP net income (loss) to EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Base Sales by end market sector to GAAP Net Sales by end-market sector:

The tables below present base sales by end-market sector, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Base Sales by end-market sector are defined as net sales by end-market sector excluding raw material and natural gas surcharges. Base Sales by end-market sector are an important financial measure used in the management of the business. Management believes presenting base sales by end-market sector is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into key drivers of base sales such as base price and product mix.
