3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ~~- Adopted in current fiscal year~~

~~In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")~~At this time there are no issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year, and recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new standard also simplifies the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax lawspronouncements, adopted or ~~rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up~~pending adoption, in the basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter ofcurrent fiscal year 2022. As a result, the Company recorded tax benefits on its year-to-date net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 in excess of its forecasted total tax benefits for the full fiscal year. Adoption of the other provisions in ASU 2019-12 did notthat would materially impact the ~~consolidated financial statements.~~

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending adoption~~

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The amendments in ASU 2021-10 require the following annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy: information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions; the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item; significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. ASU 2021-10 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2021-10 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.company.

4.3. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts. The Company applies the five-step model in the FASB's guidance, which requires the Company to: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a customer purchase order or contract are satisfied. This occurs when control of the goods and services has transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product. Consignment transactions are arrangements where the Company transfers product to a customer location but retains ownership and control of such product until it is used by the customer. Revenue for consignment arrangements is recognized upon usage by the customer. Service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

CARPENTER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Each customer purchase order or contract for goods transferred has a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized at a point in time. The standard terms and conditions of a customer purchase order include general rights of return and product warranty provisions related to nonconforming product. Depending on the circumstances, the product is either replaced or a quality adjustment is issued. Such warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation.

Each customer purchase order or contract sets forth the transaction price for the products and services purchased under that arrangement. Some customer arrangements include variable consideration, such as volume rebates, which generally depend upon the Company's customers meeting specified performance criteria, such as a purchasing level over a period of time. The Company exercises judgment to estimate the most likely amount of variable consideration at each reporting date.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for its product. The standard payment terms are 30 days. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient that permits a Company to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities to fulfill the Company's promise to transfer the goods are included in revenues and costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of goods are classified as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping terms may vary for products shipped outside the United States depending on the mode of transportation, the country where the material is shipped and any agreements made with the customers.

Contract liabilities are recognized when the Company has received consideration from a customer to transfer goods or services at a future point in time when the Company performs under the purchase order or contract. Contract liabilities were ~~$14.0~~$15.4 million and ~~$8.6~~$14.4 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has elected to use the practical expedient that permits the omission of disclosure for remaining performance obligations which are expected to be satisfied in one year or less.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company operates in 2two business segments, Specialty Alloys Operations ("SAO") and Performance Engineered Products ("PEP"). Revenue is disaggregated within these 2two business segments by diversified end-use markets and by geographical location. Comparative information of the Company's overall revenues by end-use markets and geography for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

6.4. Loss per Common Share

The Company calculates basic and diluted loss per share using the two class method. Under the two class method, losses are allocated to common stock and participating securities (non-vested restricted shares and units that receive non-forfeitable dividends) according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings. The losses available to each class of stock are divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period in each class. Diluted loss per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company incurred a net loss and accordingly excluded all potentially dilutive securities from the determination of diluted loss per share as their impact was anti-dilutive.

The calculations of basic and diluted loss per common share for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

If, by November 30, 2022, the Company's ~~outstanding~~ $300.0 million 4.45% Senior Notes due in March 2023 ~~are~~were not redeemed, repurchased or refinanced with indebtedness having a maturity date of October 1, 2024 or later, all indebtedness under the Credit Facility ~~will be~~would have been due. The springing maturity clause has been ~~fulfilled~~satisfied with the issuance of the 2030 Notes and subsequent payment in full of the 4.45% Senior Notes, as discussed above. The Credit Facility contains a revolving credit commitment amount of $300.0 million, subject to the Company's right, from time to time, to request an increase of the commitment to $500.0 million in the aggregate; and provides for the issuance of letters of credit subject to a $40.0 million sub-limit. The Company has the right to terminate or reduce the commitments under the Credit Facility, and, subject to certain lender approvals, to join subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers.

On February 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its ~~secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").~~Credit Facility. The Amendment revised the interest coverage ratio covenant under the Credit Facility so the first test date iswas June 30, 2022, and ~~to require~~required a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2022 (calculated for the two fiscal quarters then ended), 3.00 to 1.00 at September 30, 2022 (calculated for the three fiscal quarters then ended) and 3.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2022 and thereafter (calculated for the four fiscal quarters then ended). The Amendment ~~also revised the minimum available liquidity covenant under the Credit Facility so that it applies through June 30, 2022 and~~ revised the restricted period under the Credit Facility, during which the Company iswas prohibited from incurring any secured debt other than purchase money financing for new equipment and iswas subject to additional restrictions on its ability to make dividends or distributions or to make certain ~~investments, to expire~~investments. The restricted period expired on September 30, 2022.

Interest on the borrowings under the Credit Facility accrues at variable rates, based upon a "Eurocurrency Rate" or a defined "Base Rate". Both are determined based upon the credit rating of the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt (the "Debt Rating"). The applicable margin to be added to Eurocurrency Rate ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% (2.00% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022), and for Base Rate-determined loans, from 0.25% to 1.25% (1.00% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022). The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.275% to 0.375% (0.35% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022), determined based upon the Debt Rating, of the unused portion of the $300.0 million commitment under the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company must pay certain letter of credit fees, ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% (2.00% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022), with respect to letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. The Company has the right to voluntarily prepay and re-borrow loans and to terminate or reduce the commitments under the facility.

The Company is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, which, among other things, require the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio is defined in the Credit Facility as, for any period, the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash net pension expense ("EBITDA") to consolidated interest expense for such period. The interest coverage covenant iswas waived until the quarter ended June 30, 2022 at which time it ~~will~~was required to be 2.00 to 1.00 and then 3.00 to 1.00 at September 30, ~~2022, and then 3.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2022, and thereafter.~~2022. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a debt to capital ratio of less than 55 percent. The debt to capital ratio is defined in the Credit Facility as the ratio of consolidated indebtedness, as defined therein, to consolidated capitalization, as defined therein. During the period in which the interest coverage covenant is waived, the Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a minimum available liquidity of $150.0 million for certain periods, which is defined in the Credit Facility as aggregate amount of loans available to be drawn under the credit facility plus non-restricted cash and cash equivalents, as defined therein. In addition, the Company is also subject to an asset coverage ratio minimum of 1.10 to 1.00. The asset coverage ratio is defined in the Credit Facility as eligible receivables and inventory, as defined therein, to outstanding loans and obligations, as defined therein. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Facility.

~~11.~~9. Contingencies and Commitments

Environmental

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations relating to pollution, protection of public health and the environment, natural resource damages and occupational safety and health. Although compliance with these laws and regulations may affect the costs of the Company's operations, compliance costs to date have not been material. The Company has environmental remediation liabilities at some of its owned operating facilities and has been designated as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to certain third party Superfund waste-disposal sites and other third party-owned sites. The Company accrues amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent management's best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable future costs related to environmental remediation. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the Company increased the liability for a company-owned former operating site by ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million. The liabilities recorded for environmental remediation costs at Superfund sites, other third party-owned sites and Carpenter-owned current or former operating facilities remaining at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$16.2~~$18.4 million and ~~$16.0~~$18.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company has been notified that it may be a PRP with respect to other Superfund sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against the Company. Neither the exact amount of remediation costs nor the final method of their allocation among all designated PRPs at these Superfund sites have been determined. Accordingly, at this time ~~the Company~~we cannot reasonably estimate expected costs for such matters. The liability for future environmental remediation costs that can be reasonably estimated is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis. The Company accrues amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent management's best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable future costs related to environmental remediation.

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are inherently imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of currently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the PRPs. Based upon information currently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, such costs could be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

Other

The Company is defending various routine claims and legal actions that are incidental to its business and common to its operations, including those pertaining to product claims, commercial disputes, patent infringement, employment actions, employee benefits, compliance with domestic and foreign laws, personal injury claims and tax issues. Like many other manufacturing companies in recent years, the Company, from time to time, has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to chemicals and substances in the workplace such as asbestos. The Company provides for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company's future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing (both as to recording future charges to operations and cash expenditures) of the resolution of such matters. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of these matters, management believes that the total liability from these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations will not be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

~~12.~~10. Leases

The Company records right-of-use ~~"ROU"~~("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for several types of operating leases, including land and buildings, equipment (e.g. trucks and forklifts), vehicles and computer equipment. On the lease commencement date, the Company measures and records a ROU asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease (or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate). Operating leases are included in other assets, accrued liabilities (current) and other liabilities (long-term) on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company recognizes lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less for all asset classes. Leases with the option to extend their term or terminate early are reflected in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Some leasing arrangements require variable payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons, such as insurance and tax payments. The variable lease payments are not presented as part of the ROU asset or lease liability. Income from subleased properties is recognized and presented as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company's lease cost for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021:

~~13.~~11. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 refers to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 refers to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Currently, the Company does not use Level 1 and 3 inputs.

The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:


~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022	Fair Value Measurements Using Input Type

($ in millions)	Level 2
Assets:

The Company's derivative financial instruments consist of commodity forward contracts and foreign currency forward ~~contracts and interest rate swaps.~~contracts. These instruments are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize information related to commodity prices and foreign exchange ~~rates and interest~~ rates published by third party leading financial news and data providers. This is observable data; however, the valuation of these instruments is not based on actual transactions for the same instruments and, as such, they are classified as Level 2. The Company's use of derivatives and hedging policies are more fully discussed in Note ~~14.~~12 Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments not listed in the table below approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the financial statements were as follows:

The fair values of long-term debt as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were determined by using current interest rates for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company's existing debt arrangements and accordingly would be classified as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount of company-owned life insurance as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 reflects cash surrender values based upon the market values of underlying securities, using Level 2 inputs, net of any outstanding policy loans. The carrying value associated with the cash surrender value of these policies is recorded in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

~~14.~~12. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company from time to time uses commodity forwards, interest rate swaps, forward interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards to manage risks generally associated with commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency rate fluctuations. The following explains the various types of derivatives and includes a summary of the impact the derivative instruments had on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Cash Flow Hedging — Commodity forward contracts: The Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of a portion of anticipated future purchases of certain critical raw materials and energy to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with volatile commodity prices. The commodity forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") and reclassified to cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the Company had forward contracts to purchase ~~6.9~~5.2 million pounds of certain raw materials with settlement dates through May 2025.

Cash Flow Hedging — Forward interest rate swaps: Historically, the Company has entered into forward interest rate swap contracts to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with fixed interest debt expected to be issued. The forward interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. The qualifying hedge contracts were marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses were included in AOCI and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affected earnings or it became probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur. Upon the issuance of the fixed rate debt, the forward interest rate swap contracts were terminated. The realized gains at the time the interest rate swap contracts were terminated ~~are being~~were amortized over the term of the underlying debt. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, net gains related to the previously terminated contracts of ~~$0.1~~$0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to interest expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, net gains related to the previously terminated contracts of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to interest expense.expense.

Cash Flow Hedging — Foreign currency forward contracts: ~~The~~From time-to-time, the Company uses ~~from time-to-time,~~ foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated future sales denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Euro in order to offset the effect of changes in exchange rates. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to net sales in the period during which the transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to protect certain short-term positions denominated in foreign currencies against the effect of changes in exchange rates. These positions do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly are marked-to-market at each reporting date through charges to other expense (income) ~~expense,~~, net. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forwards not designated as hedging instruments and the charges to income for changes in fair value for these contracts were not material.

~~Fair Value Hedging — Interest rate swaps:~~ The Company uses interest rate swaps to achieve a level of floating rate debt relative to fixed rate debt where appropriate. The Company has designated fixed to floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of these instruments are immediately recorded in earnings. The mark-to-market values of both the fair value hedging instruments and the underlying debt obligations are recorded as equal and offsetting gains and losses in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2020, all interest rate swaps were terminated in connection with the prepayment of Notes due July 2021. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the total notional amount of floating interest rate contracts was $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were no interest rate swaps and 0 gains or losses recorded to interest expense. For the nine months ended months March 31, 2022 and 2021, net gains of $0.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were recorded as a decrease to interest expense. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, there were $2.3 million of gains recorded as a decrease to debt extinguishment losses.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Substantially all of the derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, or similar agreements with each counterparty, which provide for the option to settle contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day and in the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event. The Company presents the outstanding derivative contracts on a net basis by counterparty in the consolidated balance sheets. If the Company had chosen to present the derivative contracts on a gross basis, the total asset derivatives would have ~~remained the same at $55.3~~been $17.5 million and total liability derivatives would have ~~remained the same at $0.1~~been $7.5 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

~~NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

According to the provisions of the Company's derivative arrangements, in the event that the fair value of outstanding derivative positions with certain counterparties exceeds certain thresholds, the Company may be required to issue cash collateral to the counterparties. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had no cash collateral held by counterparties.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on its derivative instruments as well as credit or performance risk with respect to its customer commitments to perform. Although nonperformance is possible, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of the parties. In addition, various master netting arrangements are in place with counterparties to facilitate settlements of gains and losses on these contracts.

Cash Flow and Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings or it becomes probable the forecasted transactions will not occur. The following is a summary of the ~~gains (losses) related~~losses to cash flow hedges recognized during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021:

~~16.~~14. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pre-tax income, or loss, of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, the Company’s tax expense or benefit can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits, and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, deferred taxes were determined by the year-to-date tax benefit with current taxes accounting for the remaining tax benefit recorded in the period. Income tax benefit was ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million, or ~~9.6~~11.5 percent of pre-tax loss for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, as compared with income tax benefit of ~~$16.7~~$10.4 million, or ~~29.2~~41.3 percent of pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $16.8 million or 24.5 percent of pre-tax loss as compared with $46.4 million or 21.2 percent of pre-tax loss for the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, includes the unfavorable impact of losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Also included is a discrete tax charge of $0.6 million for the impact of a state tax legislative change and a discrete tax benefit of $0.3 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Income tax benefit for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 included discrete tax benefits of $2.2 million associated with pension settlement charges, $1.8 million for the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges and $0.8 million as a result of changes in the Company’s prior year tax positions. Additionally, the anticipated benefit for the carryback of the fiscal year 2021 net operating loss to fiscal years with higher tax rates was included in the tax calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Also included were the unfavorable impacts of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Excluding the discrete tax impacts of the pension settlement charges, restructuring and asset impairment charges and changes in the Company’s prior year tax positions, the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 would have been 29.3 percent.

Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, includes the unfavorable impact of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, included the unfavorable impacts of a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized as well as discrete tax benefits of $2.2 million associated with pension settlement charges, $2.0 million associated with the debt extinguishment losses, net, $4.2 million for the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges and $0.8 million as a result of changes in the Company's prior year tax positions. Additionally, the anticipated benefit for the carryback of the fiscal year 2021 net operating loss to fiscal years with higher tax rates was included in the tax calculation for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Also included was a tax charge of $1.2 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Excluding the discrete tax impacts of the $52.8 million non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, pension settlement charges, debt extinguishment losses, net and restructuring and asset impairment charges and changes in the Company's prior year tax positions, the tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, would have been 28.2 percent.

~~CARPENTER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION~~

~~NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company changed its assertion regarding undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries. The Company now asserts that substantially all future undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries will not be considered indefinitely reinvested. The potential tax implications from the distribution of these future earnings are expected to be limited to withholding taxes in certain jurisdictions and are not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

The ~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security~~Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the ~~"CARES Act"~~"IRA") was enacted on ~~March 27, 2020.~~August 16, 2022. The ~~CARES~~IRA includes climate and energy provisions, extends the Affordable Care Act ~~established new~~subsidies, increases Internal Revenue Enforcement funding and allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. The IRA creates a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax on profits of corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the tax year exceeds $1.0 billion and is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA also creates an excise tax of 1 percent on stock repurchases by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for repurchases after December 31, 2022. The provisions ~~including but not limited to, expanded deduction~~ of certain qualified capital expenditures, delayed payment of certain employment taxes, expanded use of net operating losses, reduced limitations on deductions of interest expense and extension of funding for defined benefit plans. The net operating loss provision is expected to provide incremental tax benefits of approximately $7.0 million due to the ~~higher tax rates in the expanded carryback period. The other provisions in the CARES Act~~IRA are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

~~17.~~15. Business Segments

The Company has 2two reportable segments, ~~SAO~~Specialty Alloys Operations ("SAO") and ~~PEP.~~Performance Engineered Products ("PEP").

The SAO segment is comprised of the Company's major premium alloy and stainless steel manufacturing operations. This includes operations performed at mills primarily in Reading and Latrobe, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas as well as South Carolina and Alabama. The combined assets of the SAO operations are managed in an integrated manner to optimize efficiency and profitability across the total system.

The PEP segment is comprised of the Company's differentiated operations. This segment includes the Dynamet titanium business, the Carpenter Additive business and the Latrobe and Mexico distribution businesses. ~~The Amega West business was part of the PEP segment however it was sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.~~ The businesses in the PEP segment are managed with an entrepreneurial structure to promote flexibility and agility to quickly respond to market dynamics.

The Company's executive management evaluates the performance of these operating segments based on sales, operating income and cash flow generation. Segment operating results exclude general corporate costs, which are comprised of executive and director compensation and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, such as restructuring charges and other specifically-identified income or expense items.

On a consolidated basis, no single customer accounted for 10 percent or more of net sales for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. On a consolidated basis, no single customer accounted for 10 percent or more of accounts receivable outstanding at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Background and General

We are a producer and distributor of premium specialty alloys, including titanium alloys, powder metals, stainless steels, alloy steels and tool steels. We are a recognized leader in high-performance specialty alloy-based materials and process solutions for critical applications in the aerospace, defense, medical, transportation, energy, industrial and consumer markets. We have evolved to become a pioneer in premium specialty alloys, including titanium, nickel, and cobalt, as well as alloys specifically engineered for additive manufacturing ("AM") processes and soft magnetics applications. We have expanded our AM capabilities to provide a complete "end-to-end" solution to accelerate materials innovation and streamline parts production. We primarily process basic raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, titanium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, iron scrap and other metal alloying elements through various melting, hot forming and cold working facilities to produce finished products in the form of billet, bar, rod, wire and narrow strip in many sizes and finishes. We also produce certain metal powders and parts. Our sales are distributed directly from our production plants and distribution network as well as through independent distributors. Unlike many other specialty steel producers, we operate our own worldwide network of service and distribution centers. These service centers, located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia allow us to work more closely with customers and to offer various just-in-time stocking programs.

As part of our overall business strategy, we have sought out and considered opportunities related to strategic acquisitions and joint collaborations as well as possible business unit dispositions aimed at broadening our offering to the marketplace. We have participated with other companies to explore potential terms and structures of such opportunities and expect that we will continue to evaluate these opportunities.

Our discussions below in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in Item 7 of our ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K. Our discussions here focus on our results during or as of the ~~three and nine-month periods~~three-month period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and the comparable ~~periods~~period of fiscal year ~~2021,~~2022, and to the extent applicable, on material changes from information discussed in the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K and other important intervening developments or information that we have reported on Form 8-K. These discussions should be read in conjunction with the ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K for detailed background information and with any such intervening Form 8-K.

Impact of Raw Material Prices and Product Mix

We value most of our inventory utilizing the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventory costing method. Under the LIFO inventory costing method, changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of sales in the current period even though these materials may potentially have been acquired at significantly different values due to the length of time from the acquisition of the raw materials to the sale of the processed finished goods to the customers. In a period of rising raw material costs, the LIFO inventory valuation normally results in higher cost of sales. Conversely, in a period of decreasing raw material costs, the LIFO inventory valuation normally results in lower cost of sales.

The volatility of the costs of raw materials has impacted our operations over the past several years. We, and others in our industry, generally have been able to pass cost increases on major raw materials through to our customers using surcharges that are structured to recover increases in raw material costs. Generally, the formula used to calculate a surcharge is based on published prices of the respective raw materials for the previous month which correlates to the prices we pay for our raw material purchases. However, a portion of our surcharges to customers may be calculated using a different surcharge formula or may be based on the raw material prices at the time of order, which creates a lag between surcharge revenue and corresponding raw material costs recognized in cost of sales. The surcharge mechanism protects our net income on such sales except for the lag effect discussed above. However, surcharges have had a dilutive effect on our gross margin and operating margin percentages as described later in this report.

Approximately 2540 percent of our net sales are sales to customers under firm price sales arrangements. Firm price sales arrangements involve a risk of profit margin fluctuations, particularly when raw material prices are volatile. In order to reduce the risk of fluctuating profit margins on these sales, we enter into commodity forward contracts to purchase certain critical raw materials necessary to produce the related products sold. Firm price sales arrangements generally include certain annual purchasing commitments and consumption schedules agreed to by the customers at selling prices based on raw material prices at the time the arrangements are established. If a customer fails to meet the volume commitments (or the consumption schedule deviates from the agreed-upon terms of the firm price sales arrangements), we may need to absorb the gains or losses associated with the commodity forward contracts on a temporary basis. Gains or losses associated with commodity forward contracts are reclassified to earnings/loss when earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Because we value most of our inventory under the LIFO costing methodology, changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of sales in the current period attempting to match the most recently incurred costs with revenues. Gains or losses on the commodity forward contracts are reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income together with the actual purchase price of the underlying commodities when the underlying commodities are purchased and recorded in inventory. To the extent that the total purchase price of the commodities, inclusive of the gains or losses on the commodity forward contracts, are higher or lower relative to the beginning of year costs, our cost of goods sold reflects such amounts. Accordingly, the gains and/or losses associated with commodity forward contracts may not impact the same period that the firm price sales arrangements revenue is recognized, and comparisons of gross profit from period to period may be impacted. These firm price sales arrangements are expected to continue as we look to strengthen our long-term customer relationships by expanding, renewing and in certain cases extending to a longer-term, our customer long-term arrangements.

We produce hundreds of grades of materials with a wide range of pricing and profit levels depending on the grade. In addition, our product mix within a period is subject to the fluctuating order patterns of our customers as well as decisions we may make on participation in certain products based on available capacity, including the impacts of capacity commitments we may have under existing customer agreements. While we expect to see positive contribution from a more favorable product mix in our margin performance over time, the impact by period may fluctuate and period-to-period comparisons may vary.

Net Pension Benefit

Net pension benefit, as we define it below, includes the net periodic benefit costs related to both our pension and other postretirement plans. The net periodic benefit costs are determined annually based on beginning of year balances and are recorded ratably throughout the fiscal year, unless a significant remeasurement event occurs. We currently expect the total net pension ~~income~~expense for fiscal year ~~2022~~2023 will be ~~$7.3~~$19.6 million as compared with total net pension ~~expense~~income of ~~$24.6~~$7.3 million in fiscal year ~~2021, which included settlement charges of $11.4 million, recorded within other (income) expense, net.~~

In March 2021, we evaluated the need for settlement accounting under ASC 715-30-35-82 based on the higher than normal lump-sum payments made during fiscal year 2021 in our largest defined benefit plan. We determined that it was probable the lump-sum payments would exceed the threshold of service cost and interest cost components and settlement accounting was required. We recorded a settlement charge of $8.9 million in the prior year quarter ended March 31, 2021.2022.

The following is the net pension expense (income) ~~expense~~ for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

Results of Operations — Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 vs. Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we reported net loss of ~~$7.5~~$6.9 million, or ~~$0.16~~$0.14 loss per diluted share. ~~Excluding special items, namely COVID-19 costs and the reversal of a contingent liability associated with a historical acquisition, adjusted loss per diluted share was $0.20 in the current quarter.~~ This compares with net loss for the same period a year earlier of ~~$40.5~~$14.8 million, or ~~$0.84~~$0.31 loss per diluted share. ~~Excluding~~There were no reported special items for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. COVID-19 related costs negatively impacted operating results by $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding these costs, adjusted loss per diluted share was ~~$0.54 in~~$0.28 for the ~~same~~ quarter ~~last year.~~ended September 30, 2021. The results for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 reflect improving demand patterns, higher prices and improving mix with 3935 percent increased sales compared to the prior year quarter. Partially offsetting the improved demand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, were near-term operational challenges resulting from the Reading press outage and labor shortages as well as the ongoing inflationary pressures on operating costs related to critical production supplies, freight and labor.

COVID-19 related costs negatively impacted operating results by approximately $2.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.7 million in the same period a year ago. The COVID-19 costs principally consist

Table of direct incremental operating costs including outside services to execute enhanced cleaning protocols, additional personal protective equipment, isolation pay for production employees potentially exposed to COVID-19 and various operating supplies necessary to maintain the operations while keeping employees safe against possible exposure in our facilities. The current period results reflect the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a non-cash benefit of $4.7 million from the reversal of a contingent liability associated with a historical acquisition for which the time period expired. The liability was recorded as part of the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") approval of the Latrobe acquisition in fiscal year 2012. As required for the FTC approval, we entered into a consent decree to transfer assets and technical knowledge to Eramet S.A. and its subsidiaries, Aubert & Duval and Brown Europe, which would allow them to become a second manufacturer of two specific alloys in order to provide customers with a supply alternative in the marketplace.

The three months ended March 31, 2021, included negative impacts from targeted inventory reductions and inventory write-downs and restructuring and asset impairment charges of $7.6 million related to ongoing actions to reduce cost and narrow focus in our Additive reporting unit.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 were ~~$489.0~~$522.9 million, which was a 3935 percent increase over the same period a year ago. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 2420 percent on a 323 percent increase in shipment volume from the same period a year ago. The results reflect higher demand in all end-use markets except Transportation during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

Sales outside the United States increased 3844 percent from the same period a year ago to ~~$176.3~~$203.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. The increase is driven primarily by ~~stronger~~higher demand in ~~all regions~~the Aerospace and ~~all~~Defense end-use ~~markets.~~market in the European and South America regions. A portion of our sales outside the United States are denominated in foreign currencies.

During the third quarter ended March 31, 2021, restructuring actions were executed within the Additive business in the PEP segment. This included $4.9 million of non-cash impairment charges primarily related to certain long-lived assets, certain definite lived intangible assets and operating lease agreements. We also recognized $0.6 million of charges primarily related to various personnel-related costs for severance payments, medical coverage and related items partially offset by proceeds of $0.5 million from the sale of certain production equipment from an idled powder production facility. Additionally as part of these restructuring actions, $2.6 million of inventory write-downs were recorded in cost of sales in the prior year quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The following presents our operating income (loss) and operating margin, in each case excluding the impact of surcharge revenue on net sales and special items. We present and discuss these financial measures because management believes removing these items provides a more consistent and meaningful basis for comparing ongoing results of operations from period to period. See the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of these financial measures.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 was ~~$11.2~~$12.6 million compared with ~~$8.9~~$10.2 million in the same period a year ago. Capitalized interest reduced interest expense by ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and ~~$1.2~~$0.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. The higher interest expense is largely due to higher interest costs on debt that was refinanced.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit was ~~$0.8~~$0.9 million, or ~~9.6~~11.5 percent of pre-tax loss for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, as compared with ~~$16.7~~$10.4 million, or ~~29.2~~41.3 percent of pre-tax loss in the same quarter a year ago. Income tax benefit for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 includes the unfavorable impact of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Also included is a discrete tax charge of $0.6 million for the impact of a state tax legislative change and a discrete tax benefit of $0.3 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Income tax benefit for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 included discrete tax benefits of $2.2 million associated with pension settlement charges, $1.8 million for the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges and $0.8 million as a result of changes in our prior year tax positions. Additionally, the anticipated benefit for the carryback of the fiscal year 2021 net operating loss to fiscal years with higher tax rates was included in the tax calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Also included are the unfavorable impacts of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Excluding the discrete tax impacts of the pension settlement charges, restructuring and asset impairment charges and changes in our prior year tax positions, the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 would have been 29.3 percent.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we changed our assertion regarding undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries. We now assert that substantially all future undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries will not be considered indefinitely reinvested. The potential tax implications from the distribution of these future earnings are expected to be limited to withholding taxes in certain jurisdictions and are not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

~~Specialty Alloys Operations Segment~~

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 for the SAO segment increased 40 percent to $418.0 million, as compared with $299.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding surcharge revenue, net sales for the current quarter increased 22 percent on 34 percent higher shipment volume from a year ago. The SAO segment results reflect higher sales in all end-use markets, with the largest growth in the Medical and Industrial and Consumer end-use markets, compared to the prior year same quarter.

Operating income for the SAO segment was $5.8 million or 1.4 percent of net sales (1.9 percent of net sales excluding surcharge revenue) in the recent third quarter, as compared with operating loss of $9.9 million or negative 3.3 percent of net sales (negative 4.0 percent of net sales excluding surcharge revenue) in the same quarter a year ago. The operating income reflects higher sales in all end-use markets partially offset by higher operating costs due to increases in production staff as well as inflationary pressures in critical operating supplies and other areas, such as freight, in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The prior year period included negative impacts on operating results from targeted inventory reductions. The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 include $1.8 million of expenses due to COVID-19 compared to $2.1 million during the prior year period.

~~Performance Engineered Products Segment~~

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 for the PEP segment increased 35 percent to $88.4 million, as compared with $65.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. Excluding surcharge revenue, net sales for the current quarter of $86.4 million increased from $64.9 million a year ago. The results reflect improving demand in all end-use markets except Transportation which was flat compared to the prior year period.

Operating income for the PEP segment was $4.2 million or 4.8 percent of net sales in the current third quarter, compared with operating loss of $3.3 million or negative 5.0 percent of net sales in the same quarter a year ago. The improved results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 reflect higher sales in key end-use markets and cost savings in the current year quarter from the restructuring actions taken in fiscal year 2021. The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 include $0.2 million of expenses due to COVID-19 compared to $0.6 million during the prior year period.

~~Results of Operations — Nine Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. Nine Months Ended March 31, 2021~~

~~Net Sales~~

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were $1,272.6 million, which was a 21 percent increase over the same period a year ago. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 10 percent on 12 percent higher shipment volume from the same period a year ago. The results reflect the impact of stronger product demand for materials used in all end-use markets.

Geographically, sales in the United States increased 24 percent from the same period a year ago to $813.7 million. The increase is driven by higher demand in all end-use markets. Sales outside the United States increased 16 percent from the same period a year ago to $458.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to stronger product demand in all end-use markets in Asia Pacific and for Aerospace and Defense and Distribution materials in Mexico. These increases were partially offset by lower demand in the European region in the Aerospace and Defense and Energy end-use markets. A portion of our sales outside the United States are denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in a $0.3 million increase in sales during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Net sales outside the United States represented 36 percent and 38 percent of total net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Total net sales excluding surcharge revenue $ 996.9 $ 904.7 $ 92.2 10 %

Sales to the Aerospace and Defense end-use market increased 6 percent from the same period a year ago to $540.7 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales decreased 3 percent from the same period a year ago on flat shipment volume. The current year results reflect near-term operational challenges associated with the Reading press outage and labor shortages. Also the prior year results reflected higher shipments related to orders placed prior to the pandemic but were processed and shipped in early fiscal year 2022.

Medical end-use market sales increased 44 percent from the same period a year ago to $144.0 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 37 percent on 40 percent higher shipment volume from the same period a year ago. The current year results reflect the medical supply chain replenishing inventory levels and higher patient confidence for elective medical procedures.

Transportation end-use market sales increased 29 percent from the same period a year ago to $126.2 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 17 percent on 20 percent higher shipment volume from the same period a year ago. The results reflect higher demand for light-duty vehicles and specialty transportation materials slightly offset by lower demand in medium and heavy-duty vehicles resulting from chip shortages compared to the prior year period.

Sales to the Energy end-use market of $80.0 million reflect a 14 percent increase from the same period a year ago. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales decreased 3 percent from a year ago. The results reflect increasing global rig counts and higher oil prices benefiting the oil and gas sub-market partially offset by lower sales for power generation materials compared to the prior year period. The prior year results also include the Amega West business which was divested on September 30, 2020.

~~Table of Contents~~

Industrial and Consumer end-use market sales increased 41 percent from the same period a year ago to $291.3 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 23 percent on a 22 percent increase in shipment volume. The results reflect the impact of stronger demand for materials used across all Consumer and Industrial sub-markets.

~~Gross Profit~~

Our gross profit in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 increased $55.5 million to $77.8 million, or 6.1 percent of net sales as compared with $22.3 million, or 2.1 percent of net sales in the same period a year ago. Excluding the impact of surcharge revenue and inventory write-downs from restructuring, our gross margin in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was 7.8 percent as compared to 2.8 percent in the same period a year ago. The results for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 reflect the impact of higher volumes across most end-use markets partially offset by the ongoing inflationary pressures on operating costs related to critical production supplies, freight and labor compared to the same period a year ago. The prior year nine months ended March 31, 2021 included the impact of targeted inventory reductions taken to generate cash flow which resulted in negative impacts to gross profit and inventory write-downs from restructuring of $2.6 million.

While the surcharge generally protects the absolute gross profit dollars, it does have a dilutive effect on gross margin as a percent of sales. The following represents a summary of the dilutive impact of the surcharge on gross margin for the comparative nine-month periods. See the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of these financial measures.

Gross margin 6.1 % 2.1 %
Gross margin excluding surcharge revenue and inventory write-downs from restructuring 7.8 % 2.8 %

~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $127.3 million were 10.0 percent of net sales (12.8 percent of net sales excluding surcharge) for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 as compared with $132.3 million or 12.6 percent of net sales (14.6 percent of net sales excluding surcharge) in the same period a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 include a non-cash benefit of $4.7 million from the reversal of a contingent liability associated with a historical acquisition for which the time period expired. The nine months ended March 31, 2021 included costs related to the implementation of an ERP system that was placed in service during the third quarter of fiscal year 2021.

~~Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges~~

~~Restructuring and asset impairment charges for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.0 million as compared with $15.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.~~

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, restructuring activities were executed to consolidate certain operations within the Additive business in the PEP segment. This included $13.6 million of non-cash impairment charges primarily related to certain long-lived assets and certain definite lived intangible assets. We also recognized $1.9 million of charges primarily related to various personnel-related costs for severance payments, medical coverage and related items partially offset by proceeds of $0.5 million from the sale of certain production equipment from an idled powder production facility. Additionally, as part of these restructuring actions, $2.6 million of inventory write-downs were recorded in cost of sales in the same period a year ago.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Goodwill Impairment Charge~~

In preparing the financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we identified an impairment triggering event related to the Additive reporting unit within the PEP segment. This reporting unit had experienced slower than expected growth due to customers shifting their near-term focus away from this emerging area as a result of the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we also made strategic decisions to reduce resources allocated to the Additive reporting unit to concentrate on the essential manufacturing business. In light of these decisions and market conditions, the pace of growth in the future projections for the Additive reporting unit were lowered. As a result, during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an impairment charge of $52.8 million, which represented the entire balance of goodwill for this reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

~~Operating Loss~~

Our operating loss in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $49.5 million, or negative 3.9 percent of net sales, as compared with operating loss of $177.8 million, or negative 16.9 percent of net sales in the same period a year ago. Excluding surcharge revenue and special items, operating margin was negative 4.9 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and negative 10.3 percent for the same period a year ago. The operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 reflect higher sales in all end-use markets compared to the prior year period as well as the full recognition of various cost saving actions taken in fiscal year 2021 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. Negatively impacting results for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 were near-term operational challenges resulting from the Reading press outage, labor shortages and supply chain disruptions as well as the ongoing inflationary pressures on operating costs related to critical production supplies, freight and labor. The prior year nine months ended March 31, 2021 included the impact of targeted inventory reductions taken to generate cash flow which resulted in negative impacts to gross profit, inventory write-downs from restructuring of $2.6 million, $15.0 million of restructuring and asset impairment charges and a $52.8 million goodwill impairment charge.

The following presents our operating loss and operating margin, in each case excluding the impact of surcharge revenue on net sales and special items. We present and discuss these financial measures because management believes removing these items provides a more consistent and meaningful basis for comparing ongoing results of operations from period to period. See the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of these financial measures.

~~Interest Expense, Net and Debt Extinguishment Losses, Net~~

Interest expense, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $31.5 million compared with $23.5 million in the same period a year ago. Capitalized interest reduced interest expense by $0.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and $6.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. We have historically used interest rate swaps to achieve a level of floating rate debt to fixed rate debt where appropriate. The interest rate swaps were terminated in fiscal year 2021 in connection with the prepayment of related Notes due July 2021. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 includes no gains or losses from interest rate swaps compared with gains of $0.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Debt extinguishment losses, net for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 include $10.5 million of debt prepayment costs on the Notes due July 2021 offset by gains of $2.3 million on the related interest rate swaps that were terminated in connection with the prepayment.

~~Other (Income) Expense, Net~~

Other income, net was $12.5 million for the recent nine months ended March 31, 2022 compared to other expense, net of $9.4 million in the same period a year ago. The nine months ended March 31, 2022 includes income from pension earnings, interest and deferrals from favorable returns on plan assets compared to expense in the prior year. The nine months ended March 31, 2021 includes greater expense due to pension settlement charges of $8.9 million.

~~Income Taxes~~

Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $16.8 million, or 24.5 percent of pre-tax loss as compared with $46.4 million or 21.2 percent of pre-tax loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 includes the unfavorable impact of losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Income tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 included the unfavorable impacts of a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized as well as discrete tax benefits of $2.2 million associated with pension settlement charges, $2.0 million associated with the debt extinguishment losses, net, $4.2 million for the impact of restructuring and asset impairment charges and $0.8 million as a result of changes in our prior year tax positions. Additionally, the anticipated benefit for the carryback of the fiscal year 2021 net operating loss to fiscal years with higher tax rates was included in the tax calculation for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Also included is a tax charge of $1.2 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Excluding the discrete tax impacts of the $52.8 million non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, pension settlement charges, debt extinguishment losses, net and restructuring and asset impairment charges and changes in our prior year tax positions, the tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 would have been 28.2 percent.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act established new provisions, including but not limited to, expanded deduction of certain qualified capital expenditures, delayed payment of certain employment taxes, expanded use of net operating losses, reduced limitations on deductions of interest expense and extension of funding for defined benefit plans. The net operating loss provision is expected to provide incremental tax benefits of approximately $7.0 million due to the higher tax rates in the expanded carryback period. The other provisions in the CARES Act are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The free cash flow results in the current period ended March 31, 2022 reflect lower capital spending levels as compared to the prior year period as certain large projects were completed in fiscal year 2021. The prior period results also included $20.0 million of proceeds related to the sale of our Amega West business.

Capital expenditures for property, plant, equipment and software were ~~$58.5~~$13.5 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 as compared to ~~$78.5~~$14.4 million for the same period a year ago. In fiscal year ~~2022,~~2023, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately ~~$90~~$100 million. ~~However, we are monitoring the impact of labor shortages and supply chain disruptions on the timing of our anticipated projects for the balance of the fiscal year.~~

Dividends during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 were ~~$29.4~~$9.8 million and ~~$29.3~~$9.8 million, respectively, and were paid at the same quarterly rate of $0.20 per share of common stock in both periods.

We have demonstrated the ability to generate cash to meet our needs through cash flows from operations, management of working capital and the ability to access capital markets to supplement internally generated funds. We target minimum liquidity of $150 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents added to available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility.

On March 26, 2021, we entered into our $300.0 million secured revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facility amended and restated our previous revolving credit facility, dated March 31, 2017, which had been set to expire in March ~~2022~~2022. The Credit Facility extends the maturity to March 31, 2024, subject to a springing maturity of November 30, 2022. If, by November 30, 2022, our ~~outstanding~~ $300.0 million 4.45% Senior Notes due in March 2023 ~~are~~were not redeemed, repurchased or refinanced with indebtedness having a maturity date of October 1, 2024 or later, all indebtedness under the Credit Facility will be due. The springing maturity clause has been ~~fulfilled~~satisfied with the issuance of the 2030 Notes and subsequent payment in full of the 4.45% Senior Notes, as discussed in Note ~~10,~~8 Debt. The Credit Facility contains a revolving credit commitment amount of $300.0 million, subject to our right, from time to time, to request an increase of the commitment to $500.0 million in the aggregate; and provides for the issuance of letters of credit subject to a $40.0 million sub-limit. We have the right to voluntarily prepay and re-borrow loans, to terminate or reduce the commitments under the Credit Facility, and, subject to certain lender approvals, to join subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers.

On February 14, 2022, we entered into ~~an amendment (the “Amendment”)~~the Amendment to ~~our secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).~~the Credit Facility. The Amendment revised the interest coverage ratio covenant under the Credit Facility so that the first test date iswas June 30, 2022, and ~~to require~~required a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2022 (calculated for the two fiscal quarters then ended), 3.00 to 1.00 at September 30, 2022 (calculated for the three fiscal quarters then ended) and 3.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2022 and thereafter (calculated for the four fiscal quarters then ended). The Amendment ~~also revised the minimum available liquidity covenant under the Credit Facility so that it applies through June 30, 2022 and~~ revised the restricted period under the Credit Facility, during which we ~~are~~were prohibited from incurring any secured debt other than purchase money financing for new equipment and ~~are~~were subject to additional restrictions on its ability to make dividends or distributions or to make certain ~~investments, to expire~~investments. This expired on September 30, 2022.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we had ~~$5.8~~$1.8 million of issued letters of credit and no short-term borrowings under the Credit Facility. The balance of the Credit Facility, ~~$294.2~~$298.2 million, remains available to us. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the borrowing rate for the Credit Facility was ~~2.45%~~5.12%.

We believe that our total liquidity of ~~$688.1~~$350.8 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, which includes total cash and cash equivalents of ~~$393.9~~$52.6 million and available borrowing capacity of ~~$294.2~~$298.2 million under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our cash needs over the foreseeable future including the repayment in full, that was made in April 2022, of the $300.0 million in principal of our 4.45% senior unsecured notes due March 2023, including any interest and premium due thereon.future.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we made no pension contributions ~~of $0.2 million~~ to our qualified defined benefit pension plans. We currently do not expect to contribute ~~additional amounts~~ to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of fiscal year ~~2022.~~2023.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately ~~$35.4~~$17.9 million held at various foreign subsidiaries. Our global deployment considers, among other things, geographic location of our subsidiaries’ cash balances, the locations of our anticipated liquidity needs, and the cost to access international cash balances, as necessary. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we repatriated no cash ~~of approximately $14.1 million~~ from foreign ~~jurisdictions that resulted in minimal tax cost.~~jurisdictions. From time to time, we may make short-term intercompany borrowings against our cash held outside the United States in order to reduce or eliminate any required borrowing under our Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

We are subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, which, among other things, require the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio is defined in the Credit Facility as, for any period, the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash net pension expense ("EBITDA") to consolidated interest expense for such period. The interest coverage covenant iswas waived until the quarter ended June 30, 2022 at which time it ~~will~~was required to be 2.00 to 1.00, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 it ~~will be~~is 3.00 to 1.00 and then 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter. The Credit Facility also requires us to maintain a debt to capital ratio of less than 55 percent. The debt to capital ratio is defined in the Credit Facility as the ratio of consolidated indebtedness, as defined therein, to consolidated capitalization, as defined therein. During the period in which the interest coverage covenant is waived the Credit Facility requires that we maintain a minimum available liquidity of $150 million which is defined in the Credit Facility as the aggregate amount of loans available to be drawn under the facility plus non-restricted cash and cash equivalents as defined therein. In addition, we are subject to an asset coverage ratio minimum of 1.10 to 1.00. The asset coverage ratio is defined in the Credit Facility as eligible receivables and inventory, as defined therein, to outstanding loans and obligations, as defined therein. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Facility.

The following table shows our actual ratio performance with respect to the financial covenants as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022:

Covenant

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following provides additional information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in this report. Our definitions and calculations of these items may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies.

Net Sales and Gross Margin Excluding Surcharge Revenue and Special Items

This report includes discussions of net sales as adjusted to exclude the impact of raw material surcharge and special items and the resulting impact on gross margins, which represent financial measures that have not been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). We present and discuss these financial measures because management believes removing the impact of raw material surcharge from net sales provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period for the reasons discussed earlier in this report. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, our board of directors and others. See our earlier discussion of "Gross Profit" for a reconciliation of net sales and gross margin, excluding surcharge revenue, to net sales as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net sales and gross margin excluding surcharge revenue is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net sales and gross margin calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted Operating Margin Excluding Surcharge Revenue and Special Items

This report includes discussions of operating margin as adjusted to exclude the impact of raw material surcharge revenue and special items which represent financial measures that have not been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We present and discuss this financial measure because management believes removing the impact of raw material surcharge from net sales provides a more consistent and meaningful basis for comparing results of operations from period to period for the reasons discussed earlier in this report. In addition, management believes that excluding special items from operating margin is helpful in analyzing our operating performance, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, our board of directors and others. See our earlier discussion of operating income (loss) for a reconciliation of operating income (loss) and operating margin excluding surcharge revenue and special items to operating income (loss) and operating margin determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operating margin excluding surcharge revenue and special items is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating margin calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Management believes that the presentation of loss per share adjusted to exclude special items is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, our board of directors and others.

Management believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition because it is a measure of cash generated which management evaluates for alternative uses. It is management's current intention to use excess cash to fund investments in capital equipment, acquisition opportunities and consistent dividend payments. Free cash flow is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, cash flows calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Contingencies

Environmental

We are subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations relating to pollution, protection of public health and the environment, natural resource damages and occupational safety and health. Although compliance with these laws and regulations may affect the costs of our operations, compliance costs to date have not been material. We have environmental remediation liabilities at some of our owned operating facilities and have been designated as a PRP with respect to certain third party Superfund waste-disposal sites and other third party-owned sites. We accrue amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent our best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable future costs related to environmental remediation. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, the Company increased the liability for a Company-owned former operating site by ~~$0.2~~$0.1 million. The liabilities recorded for environmental remediation costs at Superfund sites, other third party-owned sites and Carpenter-owned current or former operating facilities remaining at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~$16.2~~$18.4 million and ~~$16.0~~$18.3 million, respectively. Additionally, we have been notified that we may be a PRP with respect to other Superfund sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against us. Neither the exact amount of remediation costs nor the final method of their allocation among all designated PRPs at these Superfund sites have been determined. Accordingly, at this time, we cannot reasonably estimate expected costs for such matters. The liability for future environmental remediation costs that can be reasonably estimated is evaluated on a quarterly basis.

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are inherently imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of currently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the PRPs. Based upon information currently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, such costs could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

~~Table of Contents~~

Other

We are defending various routine claims and legal actions that are incidental to our business, and that are common to our operations, including those pertaining to product claims, commercial disputes, patent infringement, employment actions, employee benefits, compliance with domestic and foreign laws, personal injury claims and tax issues. Like many other manufacturing companies in recent years we, from time to time, have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to chemicals and substances in the workplace such as asbestos. We provide for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing (both as to recording future charges to operations and cash expenditures) of the resolution of such matters. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of these matters, we believe that the total liability from these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations will not be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of other significant accounting policies is discussed in our ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 thereto.

Table of Contents

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment and written down to fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired assets over the fair value of the assets based upon estimated future discounted cash flows. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment by individual business unit. Changes in estimated cash flows could have a significant impact on whether or not an asset is impaired and the amount of the impairment.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested at least annually for impairment as of June ~~30,~~1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, any impairment loss is measured by the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The discounted cash flow analysis for each reporting unit tested requires significant estimates and assumptions related to cash flow forecasts, discount rates, terminal values and income tax rates. The cash flow forecasts include significant judgments and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, which include perpetual growth rates, gross margin and weighted average cost of capital. The cash flow forecasts are developed based on assumptions about each reporting unit's markets, product offerings, pricing, capital expenditure and working capital requirements as well as cost performance.

The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow are estimated based on a market participant's perspective of each reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital. The terminal value, which represents the value attributed to the reporting unit beyond the forecast period, is estimated using a perpetuity growth rate assumption. The income tax rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis represent estimates of the long-term statutory income tax rates for each reporting unit based on the jurisdictions in which the reporting units operate.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we have three reporting units with goodwill recorded. Goodwill associated with the SAO reporting unit as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 was $195.5 million and represents approximately 81 percent of our total goodwill. The remaining goodwill is associated with the PEP segment, which includes two reporting units, Dynamet and Latrobe Distribution, with goodwill recorded as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 of $31.9 million and $14.0 million, respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

Goodwill associated with the SAO reporting unit is tested at the SAO segment level. The fair value is estimated using a weighting of discounted cash flows and the use of market multiples valuation techniques. As of June ~~30, 2021,~~1, 2022, the fair value of the SAO reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately ~~26.3~~38.2 percent. The discounted cash flows analysis for the SAO reporting unit includes assumptions related to our ability to increase volume, improve mix, expand product offerings and continue to implement opportunities to reduce costs over the next several years. For purposes of the discounted cash flow analysis for SAO's fair value, a weighted average cost capital of ~~9.0~~9.5 percent and a terminal growth rate assumption of ~~3.0~~2.5 percent were used. If the long-term growth rate for this reporting unit had been hypothetically reduced by 0.5 percent at June ~~30, 2021,~~1, 2022, the SAO reporting unit would have a fair value that exceeded the carrying value by approximately ~~22.0~~34.5 percent.

The estimate of fair value requires significant judgment. We based our fair value estimates on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including estimates of future growth rates and operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate and the competitive environment for our business units. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset testing as of the time of testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business projections, competitive environments or anticipated growth rates are not correct, we may be required to record goodwill and/or intangible asset impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present before our next annual evaluation. We continuously monitor for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value of the reporting units. Given the ongoing uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to evaluate the impact on the reporting units as adverse changes to these assumptions could result in future impairments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We use derivative financial instruments to reduce certain types of financial risk. Firm price sales arrangements involve a risk of profit margin fluctuations particularly as raw material prices have been volatile. As discussed in Note 1412 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "Financial Statements", in order to reduce the risk of fluctuating profit margins on these sales, we enter into commodity forward contracts to purchase certain critical raw materials necessary to produce the products sold under the firm price sales arrangements. If a customer fails to perform its obligations under the firm price sales arrangements, we may realize losses as a result of the related commodity forward contracts. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we had approximately ~~$46.9~~$1.8 million of net deferred gains related to commodity forward contracts to purchase certain raw materials. A large portion of this balance is related to commodity forward contracts to support firm price sales arrangements associated with many customers. However, approximately 199 percent of these contracts relate to commodity forward contracts entered into to support sales under firm price sales arrangements with one customer in addition to the credit already extended to this customer in connection with outstanding trade receivables. Our customers have historically performed under these arrangements, and we believe that they will honor such obligations in the future.

We are actively involved in managing risks associated with energy resources. Risk containment strategies include interaction with primary and secondary energy suppliers as well as obtaining adequate insurance coverage to compensate us for potential business interruption related to lack of availability of energy resources. In addition, we have used forwards and options to fix the price of a portion of our anticipated future purchases of certain energy requirements to protect against the impact of significant increases in energy costs. We also use surcharge mechanisms to offset a portion of these charges where appropriate.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could subject us to risk of losses on anticipated future cash flows from our international operations or customers. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge certain foreign exchange risks.

WeWhen appropriate, we use interest rate swaps to achieve a level of floating rate debt relative to fixed rate ~~debt where appropriate.~~debt. Historically, we have entered into forward interest rate swap contracts to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with fixed interest debt expected to be issued.

All hedging strategies are reviewed and approved by senior financial management before being implemented. Senior financial management has established policies regarding the use of derivative instruments that prohibit the use of speculative or leveraged derivatives. Market valuations are performed at least quarterly to monitor the effectiveness of our risk management programs.

Based on the current funding level, the benchmark allocation policy for the Company's largest pension plan assets is to have approximately 75 percent in return seeking assets and 25 percent in ~~liability matching~~liability-hedging assets. Return seeking assets include ~~domestic and international~~global equities, ~~real assets and~~ diversified credit ~~strategies. Liability matching~~and real assets. Liability-hedging assets include ~~long duration~~ bond ~~funds.~~funds and cash. When the funding level of the plan reaches 95 percent and improves to fully or over-funded status in increments of 5 percent, assets will be shifted from return seeking to liability-hedging assets in accordance with the glidepath policy outlined in the pension plan’s Investment Policy Statement.

The status of our financial instruments as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 is provided in Note 1412 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Assuming either of the following occurred on ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, (a) an instantaneous 10 percent decrease in the price of raw materials and energy for which we have commodity forward contracts, or (b) a 10 percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies for which foreign exchange forward contracts existed, our results of operations would not have been materially affected in either scenario.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a—15(e) and 15d—15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 were effective in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Pending legal proceedings involve ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we do not believe would have a material adverse effect on our business regardless of their outcome. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contingencies."

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have evaluated the risks associated with our business and operations and determined that those risk factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of our ~~2021~~2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the amended risk set forth below, adequately disclose the material risks that we face.

A portion of our workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements and union attempts to organize our other employees may cause work interruptions or stoppages.

Approximately 165 production employees at our Dynamet business unit located in Washington, Pennsylvania are covered by a collective bargaining agreement which expires November 1, 2022. Negotiations with union representatives are currently in process. Approximately 401 production employees at our Latrobe business unit located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania are covered by a collective bargaining agreement which expires August 1, 2023. In July 2020, a union election was held involving 62 employees at our Franklin, Pennsylvania location and a majority of the employees voted for union representation. Negotiations with union representatives for an initial agreement are currently in process for this facility. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in concluding collective bargaining agreements with the unions to replace those that expire which could result in work interruptions and stoppages. From time to time, the employees at our manufacturing facility in Reading, Pennsylvania, participate in election campaigns or union organizing attempts. There is no guarantee that future organization attempts will not result in union representation.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no reportable purchases during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, however employees surrendered ~~3,702~~87,266 shares to the Company, at an average purchase price of ~~$39.00,~~$36.87, during such quarter for the payment of the minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock and the exercise of options. We do not consider this a share buyback program.
