KOKOMO, Ind., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haynes International, Inc. (NASDAQ GM: 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, 2022. In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share.

“Our core markets are growing and we’ve executed very well on our key initiatives. The result is a quarter that finished with a record backlog, double-digit revenue growth, 25.5% gross margin, rapidly increasing earnings, and an Adjusted EBITDA of $26 million,” said Michael L. Shor, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look forward, we are very encouraged by increasing demand across all of our major markets, including a record $100 million in aerospace order entry in our third quarter. This provides enthusiasm for our future, especially when combined with the bottom line impact of our ongoing relentless focus on innovation, high-value differentiated products and services, and our operational improvements.” 

3^rd Quarter Results

Net Revenues.   Net revenues were $130.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 47.7% from $88.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2021 due to increases in volume in key markets, combined with increases in average selling price per pound in all markets. Volume was 4.5 million pounds in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 21.7% from 3.7 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2021. The increase in pounds sold is due to the demand recovery and strong sales in the aerospace market, which increased by 58.2%, as well as the chemical processing market, which increased by 8.4% from the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The product average selling price was $27.23 per pound in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of 23.1% from $22.12 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2021. The increase in product average selling price per pound largely reflects higher market prices of raw materials, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $3.40 and price increases and other sales factors, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.03, along with a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.68.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $96.9 million, or 74.5% of net revenues, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $74.5 million, or 84.5% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2021. The 100 basis point decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to variable cost saving measures that enable the Company to minimize the increase in costs in periods of higher net revenues. Additionally, higher volumes sold during the quarter improved the utilization of fixed costs and eliminated the need for fixed costs to be directly expensed, as was the case in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, which had $2.0 million of costs directly expensed to Cost of Sales.

Gross Profit.   As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $33.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of $19.6 million from the same period of fiscal 2021. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased to 25.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to 15.5% in the same period of fiscal 2021. The third quarter of fiscal 2021 was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as volumes were significantly reduced.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense.   Selling, general and administrative expense was $11.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, an increase of $0.4 million, or 3.2%, from the same period of fiscal 2021. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 9.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 13.0% for the same period of fiscal 2021, largely driven by higher net revenues. Investments in consulting costs related to information system improvements as well as general inflation were the primary drivers of the increased expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, the Company increased its reserves on accounts receivable which also contributed to the increase in expense.

Research and Technical Expense.   Research and technical expense was $1.0 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $0.8 million, or 0.9% of net revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2021.

Operating Income/(Loss).   As a result of the above factors, including increased sales volume and higher pricing as well as improved gross profit, operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $20.4 million compared to $1.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2021.

Nonoperating retirement benefit expense.   Nonoperating retirement benefit expense was a benefit of $1.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to an expense of $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2021. The difference was primarily driven by a favorable actuarial valuation of the U.S. pension plan liability as of September 30, 2021 caused by a higher-than-expected return on plan assets coupled with a higher discount rate. The amortization of this favorable valuation is recorded as a benefit to nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income).

Income Taxes.   Income tax expense was $5.2 million, or 24.8% of income before income taxes, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $0.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2021 driven primarily by a difference in income (loss) before income taxes of $20.1 million.

Net Income/(Loss).   As a result of the above factors, net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $15.6 million, compared to $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2021.

Volumes and Pricing

Demand continues to improve and volumes continue to increase with 4.5 million pounds shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, representing a sequential increase of 4.7% and a year-over-year increase of 21.7%. Aerospace volumes were 2.1 million pounds in the quarter, representing a sequential increase of 18.5% and a year-over-year increase of 58.2%. This quarter’s aerospace volume was 83% of the pre-pandemic levels of the average fiscal 2019 volume (aerospace net sales were 95% of pre-pandemic 2019 average). The Company continues to expect to return to fiscal 2019 monthly run-rate shipment levels by the end of fiscal 2022. Chemical processing volume increased sequentially 1.4% and year-over-year 8.4% driven by continued recovery from the pandemic and higher capital spending in the chemical sector. Industrial gas turbine shipments decreased sequentially (23.0)%, after last quarter’s sequential increase of 77%, and a (5.0)% decrease year-over-year, due to timing of certain shipments. Other markets sequentially increased 75.0%, due to lower shipments into the flue-gas desulphurization market in the previous quarter, and year-over-year by 2.9%. Overall, volumes are expected to continue to increase with the extremely high level of incoming orders.

The Company has an ongoing strategy of increasing pricing and margins, recognizing the high-value, differentiated products and services it offers. The Company implemented multiple price increases for contract and non-contract business as market conditions improved and in response to higher inflation. Customer long-term agreements 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 2022 was $27.23, which increased 7.1% sequentially and 23.1% year-over-year due to the noted price increases, raw material adjustors as well as a higher value product mix.

Gross Profit Margin Trend Performance

This quarter showed significant profitability leverage with increasing volumes to 4.5 million pounds shipped, showing continued traction and momentum as volumes recover along with rising raw material tailwinds. Gross margins continued to increase with a 25.5% gross margin this quarter compared to 20.0% last quarter (a 550 basis point improvement) and 15.5% in the third quarter of last year (a 1,000 basis point improvement). The Company has implemented focus initiatives designed to increase pricing and reduce costs. These initiatives, combined with improved volumes compared to the same quarter last year, has driven growth in gross margins and profitability at a much lower volume breakeven point. The Company previously needed to sell more than five million pounds to be profitable. Recent quarters demonstrate the Company’s successful reduction of its breakeven point by roughly 25% with the current mix.

Backlog

The Company experienced continued high levels of order entry over the past quarter across each of its core markets totaling $181.5 million, led by aerospace, which had a $100.1 million order entry and a 1.6 book-to-bill ratio (customer orders divided by net revenues).  Backlog was a record $338.2 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $57.5 million, or 20.5%, from $280.7 million at March 31, 2022.  Backlog pounds at June 30, 2022 increased 13.8% during the third quarter to approximately 12.1 million pounds, which is the highest level of backlog pounds in the Company’s history.  The average selling price of products in the Company’s backlog increased to $27.89 per pound at June 30, 2022 from $26.35 per pound at March 30, 2022.

Capital Spending

During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, capital investment was $11.5 million, and total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2022 are expected to be approximately $15.0 million, which is lower than the previous estimate of $17.7 million due to equipment supply constraints. The Company does not expect any impact on operations as a result of these constraints.  

Pension and Postretirement Plans

The Company’s U.S. pension glide path strategy, adopted in fiscal 2021, is in place with changes to the asset allocation including a customized liability-driven investing strategy, which is intended to reduce interest rate and equity risks. The Company expects significantly reduced volatility going forward related to the pension funding percentage (the U.S. pension plan is currently approximately 92% funded) and reduced pension and postretirement expense ($6.0 million less in fiscal year 2021 vs. 2022). As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the U.S. net pension liability was approximately $20.7 million, a reduction of $85.1 million below the $105.8 million on the balance sheet at the beginning of fiscal 2021. Inclusive of the retiree healthcare liability and U.K. pension asset, the net liability decrease is $98.1 million since the beginning of fiscal year 2021.

Working Capital

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $339.3 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $100.7 million, or 42.2%, from $238.7 million at September 30, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from inventory increasing by $95.6 million and accounts receivable increasing by $21.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses increasing by $16.5 million during the same period. The Company continued to build work-in-process inventory during the nine-month period in response to the rapidly growing backlog.

Liquidity

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.4 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $47.7 million at September 30, 2021.  Additionally, the Company had $46.5 million of borrowings against the line of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $57.6 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $40.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021, a difference of $97.8 million. Cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was driven by an increase in inventory of $98.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to a decrease in inventory of $18.5 million during the same period of fiscal 2021, and an increase in accounts receivable of $24.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2021. This was partially offset by net income of $28.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to net loss of $(11.2) million during the same period of fiscal 2021.

Net cash used in investing activities was $11.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, which was higher than cash used in investing activities of $4.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2021 due to higher additions to property, plant and equipment. Capital spending in fiscal 2022 reflects a more normal level of investment, however, below the rate of depreciation, after lower than historical levels of investment in fiscal 2021.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $31.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, a difference of $41.3 million from cash used in financing activities of $9.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021. This difference was primarily driven by a net borrowing of $46.5 million against the revolving line of credit during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, partially offset by share repurchases of $6.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 as compared to $0.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2021. Dividends paid of $8.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 were comparable to same period of fiscal 2021.

Dividend Declared

On July 28, 2022, the Company announced that 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 September 15, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2022.

Guidance

The company intends to continue the ramp up of both production and sales levels in response to the record backlog growth.  We expect revenue and earnings in our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 to be slightly above the results from the third-quarter of fiscal year 2022.
