CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST), a leader in high-quality specialty steel, manufactured components and supply chain solutions, today reported third-quarter 2023 net sales of $354.2 million and net income of $24.8 million, or $0.51 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, third-quarter 2023 net income was $24.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $46.8 million.

This compares with sequential second-quarter 2023 net sales of $356.6 million and net income of $28.9 million, or $0.62 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, second-quarter 2023 net income was $27.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $50.5 million.

In the same quarter last year, net sales were $316.8 million with net loss of $13.3 million, or a loss of $0.29 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, third-quarter 2022 net loss was $4.1 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $10.8 million.

"In the third quarter, our unwavering commitment to safety and our focus on strengthening our culture and fostering teamwork across our commercial, supply chain and manufacturing organizations resulted in solid profitability while meeting the needs of our customers," stated Mike Williams, president and chief executive officer.

"The enhanced collaboration we've seen, both with United Steelworkers and our teams, is fueling our pursuit of manufacturing excellence and a deep-rooted culture of safety. We have made significant progress in our capital allocation strategy, continuing our share repurchases and reinvesting in our business. Despite recent market dynamics such as the automotive work stoppages, we remain confident in our ability to navigate market challenges while delivering sustainable profitability and positive operating cash flow throughout the cycles," said Williams.

THIRD-QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

• Net sales of $354.2 million decreased one percent compared with $356.6 million in the second quarter 2023. The decrease in net sales was primarily driven by a market decline in average raw material surcharge revenue per ton as a result of lower scrap and alloy prices as well as lower shipments, partially offset by higher base sales⁽¹⁾prices. Compared with the prior-year third quarter, the increase in net sales was driven primarily by higher base sales⁽¹⁾ prices and shipments, partially offset by a market decrease in surcharge revenue per ton.
• Ship tons of 175,800 decreased 1,700 tons sequentially, or one percent, driven by lower energy shipments, partially offset by higher industrial shipments. Compared with the prior-year third quarter, ship tons increased 11 percent as a result of higher shipments in industrial and mobile.
• Manufacturing costs increased by $6.1 million on a sequential basis as a result of planned annual shutdown maintenance completed in the third quarter. Melt utilization was 76 percent in the third quarter compared with 75 percent in the second quarter. Compared with the prior-year third quarter, manufacturing costs decreased $11.5 million, primarily driven by improved cost absorption given the 76 percent third-quarter melt utilization rate compared with 40 percent in the same quarter last year when the melt shop experienced unplanned downtime.

CASH, LIQUIDITY AND REPURCHASE ACTIVITY

As of September 30, 2023, the company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $225.4 million. In the third quarter, operating cash flow was $28.1 million, primarily driven by profitability. Additionally, the company invested $17.5 million in capital expenditures. Total liquidity⁽²⁾ was $519.1 million as of September 30, 2023.

In the third quarter, the company repurchased approximately 352,900 common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $7.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the company had $44.5 million remaining on its existing share repurchase program.

2023 OUTLOOK
Given the elements outlined in the outlook below, the company expects adjusted EBITDA to decline sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Commercial:

• Fourth quarter shipments are expected to be sequentially lower as a result of normal seasonality and potential volatility from the automotive work stoppages and restarts.
• Lead times for bar products currently extend to mid-December 2023 and tube product lead times extend into February 2024.
• Base price per ton is anticipated to remain strong in the fourth quarter.
• Surcharge revenue per ton is expected to be sequentially lower in the fourth quarter.

Operations:

• Planned annual shutdown maintenance was completed at the melt shop in October at a cost of approximately $7 million.
• Given the recently completed planned annual shutdown maintenance, the company expects a sequential decrease in the average melt utilization rate in the fourth quarter.

Cash and other matters:

• Operating cash flow is expected to be positive in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by anticipated profitability and working capital discipline.
• Planned capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $50 million in 2023, consistent with previous guidance.

(1) EBIT is defined as net income (loss) before interest (income) expense, net 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (1.7 million shares and 2.0 million shares, respectively) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (2.1 million shares and 2.0 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 $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

(3) Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (3.9 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (2.1 million shares) 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, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income was adjusted to add back $1.5 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share 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.

(1)  For the three months ended September 30, 2023, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (1.7 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (2.1 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, 2023 was 47.9 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 $0.2 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

(2) 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.

(3) Business transformation costs consist of items that are non-routine in nature. These costs are primarily related to professional service fees associated with strategic initiatives and organizational changes.

(4) For the three months ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2023, IT transformation costs were primarily related to professional service fees not eligible for capitalization that are associated specifically with an information technology application simplification and modernization project.

(5) During the second half of 2022, the Faircrest melt shop experienced unplanned operational downtime. TimkenSteel recognized an insurance recovery of $11.3 million related to the unplanned downtime in the first half of 2023, of which $9.8 million was recorded during the first quarter and $1.5 million was recorded in the second quarter.

(6) Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above.

(7) Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(8) For the three months ended June 30, 2023, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (1.7 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 June 30, 2023 was 47.3 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 $0.2 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

Reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss)⁽²⁾ to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share⁽²⁾ to GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share 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.

(1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (2.0 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 48.0 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) 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.

(3) Business transformation costs consist of items that are non-routine in nature. These costs are primarily related to professional service fees associated with organizational changes.

(4) For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, IT transformation costs were primarily related to professional service fees not eligible for capitalization that are associated specifically with an information technology application simplification and modernization project.

(5) During the second half of 2022, the Faircrest melt shop experienced unplanned operational downtime. TimkenSteel recognized an insurance recovery of $11.3 million related to the unplanned downtime in the first half of 2023, of which $9.8 million was recorded during the first quarter and $1.5 million was recorded in the second quarter.

(6) Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above.

(7) For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (3.9 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (2.1 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 52.3 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 $1.5 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

Reconciliation of Earnings (Loss) Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)⁽²⁾, Adjusted EBIT⁽⁴⁾, Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)⁽³⁾ and Adjusted EBITDA⁽⁵⁾ 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 net sales by end-market sector, adjusted to exclude surcharges, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe presenting net sales by end-market sector, both on a gross basis and on a per ton basis, adjusted to exclude raw material and natural gas surcharges, provides additional insight into key drivers of net sales such as base price and product mix. Due to the fact that the surcharge mechanism can introduce volatility to our net sales, net sales adjusted to exclude surcharges provides management and investors clarity of our core pricing and results. Presenting net sales by end-market sector, adjusted to exclude surcharges including on a per ton basis, allows management and investors to better analyze key market indicators and trends and allows for enhanced comparison between our end-market sectors.

When surcharges are included in a customer agreement and are applicable (i.e., reach the threshold amount), based on the terms outlined in the respective agreement, surcharges are then included as separate line items on a customer's invoice. These additional surcharge line items adjust base prices to match cost fluctuations due to market conditions. Each month, the company will post on the surcharges page of its external website, as well as our customer portal, the scrap, alloy, and natural gas surcharges that will be applied (as a separate line item) to invoices dated in the following month (based upon shipment volumes in the following month). All surcharges invoiced are included in GAAP net sales.
