Haynes International, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 09 5 2024 15:05:34 America/Chicago
- Second quarter net revenues of $152.5 million with improving production momentum after last quarter’s three week unplanned outage at the 4-high hot rolling mill in the Kokomo plant. This compares to $147.4 million in the first quarter this year and $152.8 million in last year’s second quarter.
- Solid revenue growth in our core aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets this quarter compared to last year, largely offset by reductions in chemical processing and other markets
- Gross margin for the second quarter of 17.7% of revenue, unfavorably impacted by a raw material headwind of $5.3 million, similar to the first quarter, but higher than last year’s second quarter headwind of $1.7 million. Excluding this raw material headwind, adjusted gross margin was 21.2% of revenue compared to last year’s 21.3% adjusted gross margin.
- Second quarter net income of $8.6 million, or $0.66 diluted earnings per share, compared to last year’s second quarter net income of $12.3 million, or $0.96 diluted earnings per share. Reduction largely driven by change in raw material headwind and the remaining volume impacts of the hot mill unplanned outage from the first quarter.
- Backlog of $438.6 million as of March 31, 2024, down 1.8% year-over-year with growth in aerospace that was more than offset by reductions in chemical processing and other markets.
- Capital investment in the first six months of fiscal 2024 of $10.9 million. Total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 estimated at $22 to $28 million.
- Regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock declared.
KOKOMO, Ind., May 09, 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 second quarter ended March 31, 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 ongoing focus on the aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets resulted in the two being over 83% of volume shipped this quarter. In addition, we continue to gain production momentum after last quarter’s unplanned three-week outage at our Kokomo hot rolling mill, with product flow through our Kokomo facility improving. Significant raw material headwinds persisted through the quarter, but are expected to begin to ease,” said Michael L. Shor, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make progress towards our proposed merger with North American Stainless, a subsidiary of Acerinox, as our shareholders approved the transaction at our special meeting of shareholders held on April 16th. In addition, the regulatory process is proceeding and we continue to expect to complete the merger in the third calendar quarter.”
2nd Quarter Results
Net Revenues. Net revenues were $152.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million or 0.2% from the same period of fiscal 2023 due to a decrease in pounds sold of 0.03 million or 0.6% and a decrease in product average selling price per pound of $0.06 or 0.2%, partially offset by higher other revenue of $0.8 million. The small decrease in product average selling price per pound largely reflected lower market prices of raw materials, which decreased product average selling price per pound by approximately $2.53 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by a favorable product mix, which increased product average selling price per pound by approximately $1.43 and price increases and other pricing factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.04.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $125.4 million, or 82.3% of net revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $121.9 million, or 79.8% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2023. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was higher than the second 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 $27.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $3.9 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues declined by 250 basis points, primarily due to an estimated $5.3 million unfavorable impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to an estimated $1.7 million unfavorable impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $13.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $0.7 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was largely driven by $0.5 million of costs incurred as a result of the proposed merger with Acerinox S.A. and $0.2 million of losses on the disposal of capital equipment.
Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $1.1 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Operating Income. The above factors resulted in operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $12.6 million, compared to $17.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income). Nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income) was a benefit of $0.5 million in the second 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 second quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by a higher interest cost component of nonoperating retirement benefit income in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $1.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2023 primarily driven by higher average borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility and higher interest rates.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $2.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.8 million from expense of $3.3 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 $4.6 million. Income tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 as a percentage of income before income taxes was 22.8% as compared to 21.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $8.6 million, a decrease of $3.8 million from net income of $12.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Volumes and Pricing
Volume shipped in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was 4.6 million pounds, which was 0.6% lower than the second quarter of fiscal 2023 and was 1.9% lower sequentially than the first quarter of fiscal 2024. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we had an unplanned three-week outage at our 4-high hot rolling mill which delayed production and impacted shipments during the second quarter of fiscal 2024; however, a significant portion of the delayed shipments are expected to be made up in the second half of fiscal 2024.
Aerospace volume increased by 8.9% and the aerospace average selling price per pound increased by 6.3% during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to last year’s second quarter, resulting in a 15.8%, or $10.5 million, aerospace revenue increase compared to the prior year. Single-aisle commercial aircraft demand remains strong. Industrial gas turbine (IGT) volumes increased by 19.5% compared to last year’s second quarter; however, IGT average selling price decreased 8.2%, resulting in a 9.8%, or $3.2 million, IGT revenue increase compared to the prior year. Volume and sales growth in IGT was a result of solid customer demand and the Company’s market share growth strategy. The combined shipped pounds of aerospace and IGT exceeded 83% of the total pounds shipped for the quarter. Volumes in the chemical processing industry (CPI) decreased by 41.8% year-over-year, partially offset by CPI average selling price increasing 6.1%. The net resulted in a 38.2%, or $10.9 million, CPI revenue decrease compared to the prior year. Other markets revenue decreased 22.0%; however, other revenue increased by 10.2%. The revenue decreases in CPI and Other Markets were due to mix management actions related to low-margin commoditized products as well as the three-week 4-high mill outage during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 which adversely impacted product available to sell in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
The Company has an ongoing strategy of increasing 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 improved 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 second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $31.05, which was a 4.1% increase over the first quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily due to the noted price increases, raw material adjustors and product mix changes.
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 17.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 20.2% in the same period last year and 16.8% in the first 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 and second quarters of fiscal 2024 due to nickel prices decreasing which lowered gross margins. The estimated impact from raw material volatility in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was a headwind of $5.3 million that compressed gross margin by an estimated 3.5%, compared to last year’s second quarter which had a lower raw material impact of $1.7 million that compressed gross margin by only 1.1%. Gross profit margin, excluding the impact of raw material prices was very similar in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to last year’s second quarter.
Backlog
Backlog was $438.6 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 2.3% from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and a decrease of $8.1 million, or 1.8% from the same period of fiscal 2023. Backlog pounds decreased 5.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to approximately 13.0 million pounds, predominantly due to reduced production lead times on certain products thereby reducing the amount of orders needing to be placed further out in the year.
Capital Spending
Capital investment in the first six months of fiscal 2024 was $10.9 million, and total planned capital spending for fiscal 2024 is expected to be between $22.0 million and $28.0 million.
Working Capital
Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $444.1 million as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 1.2%, from $449.4 million as of September 30, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from inventory decreasing by $7.0 million and accounts receivable decreasing by $5.6 million, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses decreasing by $7.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024.
Liquidity
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.5 million as of March 31, 2024 compared to $10.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company had $103.2 million of borrowings against the $200.0 million line of credit outstanding with remaining capacity available of $96.8 million as of March 31, 2024, putting total liquidity at $108.3 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2024 was $30.0 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $19.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2023. This year-over-year change in operating cash flow was driven by a decrease in inventory of $8.8 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to an increase of $34.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2023, a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.6 million as compared to an increase of $1.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2023 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to a decrease of $8.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2023, partially offset by decreased net income of $16.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $20.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Net cash used in investing activities was $10.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024, which was higher than net cash used in investing activities of $7.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2023 due to higher additions to property, plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $18.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024, a difference of $53.1 million from cash provided by financing activities of $34.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2023. This difference was primarily driven by a net repayment of $11.6 million against the Company’s credit facilities during the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to a net borrowing of $33.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. Additionally, there were no proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the first six 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 six months of fiscal 2024 compared to the same period of fiscal 2023. Dividends paid of $5.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 were higher than dividends paid of $5.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2023.
Dividend Declared
On May 1, 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 June 14, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2024. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Guidance
The significant raw material headwind encountered in the second quarter is expected to persist in the third quarter, but at a lower level, as inventory containing a higher cost of nickel is sold. Based on continued production momentum and the strength of both our aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets, the Company believes that revenue and earnings are expected to be higher in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Proposed Merger Transaction with Acerinox S.A.
On February 5, 2024, the Company entered into a merger agreement with a subsidiary of Acerinox S.A. (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 was adopted on April 16, 2024, and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, which expired on March 18, 2024, and the receipt of regulatory clearances pursuant to certain other antitrust and foreign investment laws applicable to the Merger.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE - ADJUSTED GROSS PROFIT MARGIN – EXCLUDING THE ESTIMATED IMPACTS OF NICKEL AND COBALT FLUCTUATIONS
(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.
