Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of SIFCO Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for all of the Company’s operations in the United States ("U.S. ~~operations~~") and its non-operating subsidiaries. For these operations, all gains and losses from completed currency transactions are included in income. The functional currency for the Company's other non-U.S. subsidiaries is the Euro. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange for the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s fiscal ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the ~~United States ("~~U.S.~~").~~ The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

B. Accounting Policies

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company's fiscal ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

C. Net ~~Income/~~(Loss)/Income per Share

The Company’s net ~~income~~loss and ~~loss~~net income per basic share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. ~~Net income~~Due to the net loss in the current period, zero restricted and performance shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In the prior period, net income per diluted share reflects the effect of the Company's outstanding restricted shares and performance shares under the treasury method. ~~In the prior period, due to the net loss, 0 restricted shares are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.~~ The dilutive effect is as follows:

Three Months Ended
December 31,
2020 2019

Performance shares 38 0

D. ~~Impact of~~ Recently ~~Issued~~Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~June 2016,~~December 2019, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ~~ASU 2016-13,~~Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement~~Income Taxes (ASC 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which is intended to reduce complexity in the accounting for income taxes while maintaining or improving the usefulness of ~~Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" and subsequent updates.~~information provided to financial statement users. The guidance amends certain existing provisions under ASC 740 to address a number of distinct items. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition2019-12 effective October 1, 2021. Adoption of the ~~exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities~~amendments in this ASU did not have an impact to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. However, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, ~~"Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),"~~ which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered smaller reporting companies ("SRC"), as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Because SIFCO is considered a SRC, the Company does not need to implement ASU 2016-13 until October 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results ~~within the consolidated condensed statements~~ of operations and financial condition.

~~In December 2019, ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"~~ was issued to (i) reduce the complexity of the standard by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and (ii) improve consistency and simplify other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective beginning October 1, 2021. The Company continues to evaluate the effect adopting this ASU will have on the Company's results within the consolidated condensed statements of operations and financial condition.

2.Inventories

Inventories consist of:


		December 31, 2020		September 30, 2020			December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021
Raw materials and supplies	Raw materials and supplies	$	7,294	$	6,548	Raw materials and supplies	$	4,941	$	4,111

Total inventories	Total inventories	$	16,563	$	15,569	Total inventories	$	14,979	$	12,546

For a portion of the Company's inventory, cost is determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Approximately ~~48%~~44% and ~~47%~~39% of the Company’s inventories at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, use the LIFO method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs existing at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because the actual results may vary from these estimates, calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, and annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to adjustments based on the differences between the estimates and the actual results. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used for the remainder of the inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. If the FIFO method had been used for the inventories for which cost is determined using the LIFO method, inventories would have been ~~$8,414~~$9,386 and ~~$8,286~~$9,210 higher than reported at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Credit Agreement and Security Agreement ~~of 2018~~

The Company's asset-based Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), Security Agreement (“Security Agreement”) and Export Credit Agreement (the "Export Credit Agreement") are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 66.67% of the stock of its first-tier non-U.S. subsidiaries. The $35,000 Credit Agreement consists of (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing of $30,000, and (ii) a revolving commitment through the Export Credit Agreement of $5,000 which lends amounts to the Company on foreign receivables. The Credit Agreement also has an accordion feature, which allows the Company to increase maximum borrowings by up to $10,000 upon consent of the lender under the Credit Agreement (the "Lender") or upon additional lenders joining the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on August 6, 2021.

The Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of defaults. As set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") of 1.1:1.0 any time the availability is equal to or less than 12.5% of the revolving commitment. In the event of a default, the Company may not be able to access the revolver, which could impact the ability to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and invest in new business opportunities.default. The total collateral at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$26,724~~$23,328 and ~~$26,964,~~$25,370, respectively and the revolving commitment was $35,000 for both periods. Total availability at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$16,767~~$12,157 and ~~$13,284,~~$14,570, respectively, which exceed both the collateral and total commitment threshold. Since the availability was greater than the ~~12.5%~~10.0% of the revolving commitment as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020, the FCCR calculation was not~~2021, no covenant calculations were required.

~~Borrowings will bear interest at the Lender's established domestic rate or LIBOR, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Credit Agreement.~~

The revolver has a rate based on LIBOR plus ~~1.5%,~~2.25% spread, which was ~~1.7%~~2.3% at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75% spread, which was 1.8% at September 30, ~~2020, respectively, and the~~2021. The Export Credit Agreement as amended has a rate based on LIBOR plus ~~1.00%~~1.25% spread, which was ~~1.2%~~1.3% at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.25% spread, which was 1.3% at September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The Company also has a commitment fee of 0.25% under the Credit Agreement as amended to be incurred on the unused balance of the revolver.

The Company's Credit Agreement is set to mature in less than twelve months. As such, the Company’s plan is to refinance. However, there are no guarantees that the refinance will be with similar terms to the current Credit Agreement, and if the refinance does not occur, the Company would not be able to meet its debt obligations.

The Maniago, Italy ("Maniago") location obtained borrowings from 1 lender in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The loan was for $1,141 with repayment terms of six years. Under the terms of the borrowing, repayments are made quarterly in the amount of $56, beginning December 31, 2022.

The Company factors receivables from 1 of its customers. The Company accounts for the pledge of receivables under this agreement as short-term debt and continues to carry the receivables on its consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Debt issuance costs

The Company ~~incurred~~had debt issuance costs ~~as it pertains to the Credit Agreement in the amount~~ of ~~$212, and incurred additional costs in fiscal 2019 of $75 related to the First and Second Amendments,~~$86, which is included in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as a deferred charge in other current assets, net of amortization of ~~$229~~$24 and ~~$205~~$17 at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

~~Other~~

On April 10, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan to the Company was made through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association and the Company’s existing lender. The note has an aggregate principal amount of approximately $5,025, of which $261 was repaid in fiscal 2020 and has a two year term. The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 0.98%, which was deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owed from the Company, and/or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. The loan proceeds were received on April 10, 2020 and were used for payroll, interest on mortgage obligations, rents on leases and utility payments. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the PPP loan balance was $4,764.

PPP Loan recipients can apply for and potentially be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the Paycheck Protection Program. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. Although the Company intends to file for forgiveness, no assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part. As of December 31, 2020, the Company continues to wait for further guidance regarding application for the forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP loan.

6.~~Income Taxes~~

On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the "Appropriations Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Appropriations Act, among other things temporarily extends through December 31, 2025, certain expiring tax provisions. Additionally, the Appropriations Act enacts new provisions and extends certain provisions originated within the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"), enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, net operating loss carryback periods and temporarily increasing the amount of net operating losses that corporations can use to offset income, alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit refunds, modifications to the net

6.Income Taxes

For each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the effective tax rate it expects to be applicable for the full fiscal year for its operations. This estimated effective rate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The Company’s effective tax rate through the first three months of fiscal ~~2021~~2022 was ~~(43)%~~1.3%, compared with 7%(43)% for the same period of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in the effective rate was primarily attributable to ~~a discrete~~ tax ~~benefit recorded during the first three months of fiscal 2021 to adjust~~benefits from adjusting deferred taxes recorded in Italy ~~applied against year-to-date income. Additionally, the effective tax rate decreased as~~recognized on a ~~result of changes in jurisdictional mix of income~~discrete basis in fiscal 2021, ~~compared to the same period of~~which were non-recurring in fiscal ~~2020.~~2022. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to the valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets and income in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at different rates than the U.S. statutory tax rate. Recent positive evidence related to the potential or partial release of the Company's valuation allowance includes profitable U.S. results, however, there continues to be uncertainty as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. It is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence required to release all, or a portion of the valuation allowance in the U.S. will exist within the next 12 months.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Ireland, Italy, and various state and local jurisdictions.

7.Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. The components of net periodic benefit cost of the Company’s defined benefit plans are as follows:


		Three Months Ended December 31,						Three Months Ended December 31,
			2020		2019				2021		2020
Service cost	Service cost		$	26	$	85	Service cost		$	11	$	26
Interest cost	Interest cost		175		208		Interest cost		178		175
Expected return on plan assets	Expected return on plan assets		(355)		(376)		Expected return on plan assets		(340)		(355)

Amortization of net loss	Amortization of net loss		211		188		Amortization of net loss		119		211

Net periodic cost	Net periodic cost		$	57	$	105	Net periodic cost		$	(32)	$	57

During the three months ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company made $0 ~~and $188~~ in contributions ~~respectively,~~ to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company anticipates making ~~$296 additional~~$36 in cash contributions to fund its defined benefit pension plans for the balance of fiscal ~~2021~~2022 and will use carryover balances from previous periods that have been available for use as a credit to reduce the amount of cash contributions that the Company is required to make to certain defined benefit plans in fiscal ~~2021.~~2022. The Company's ability to elect to use such carryover balance will be determined based on the actual funded status of each defined benefit pension plan relative to the plan's minimum regulatory funding requirements. The Company does not anticipate making cash contributions above the minimum funding requirement to fund its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal ~~2021.~~2022.

8.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company ~~has awarded~~awards performance and restricted shares under the Company's 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2007 Plan") and the Company's 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of November 16, 2016) (as further amended, the "2016 Plan"). The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded by the Company under the 2016 Plan is 1,196 shares, less any shares previously awarded and subject to an adjustment for the forfeiture of any unvested shares. In addition, shares that may be awarded are subject to individual recipient award limitations. The shares awarded under the 2016 Plan may be made in multiple forms, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock, and performance related shares. Any such award is exercisable no later than ten years from the date of the grant.

The performance shares that have been awarded under both plans generally provide for the vesting of the Company’s common shares upon the Company achieving certain defined financial performance objectives during a period up to three years following the making of such award. The ultimate number of common shares of the Company that may be earned pursuant to an award ranges from a minimum of 0 shares to a maximum of 200% of the initial target number of performance shares awarded, depending on the level of the Company’s achievement of its financial performance objectives. Beginning in fiscal 2020, the maximum share that may be achieved was reduced to 150% of target.

With respect to such performance shares, compensation expense is being accrued based on the probability of meeting the performance target. The Company is currently recognizing compensation expense for one of its tranches of awards where it has concluded it is probable that the performance criteria for that award will be met, while the Company is not currently recognizing compensation expense for two tranches of awards where it had concluded that it is not probable that the performance criteria for those awards will be met. During each future reporting period, such expense may be subject to adjustment based upon the Company's financial performance, which impacts the number of common shares that it expects to vest upon the completion of the performance period. The performance shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. The vesting of such shares is determined atThrough the end of the ~~performance period.~~

~~The Company has awarded restricted shares to its directors, officers, and other employees~~first quarter of the Company. The restricted shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant, and such value was recorded as unearned compensation. The unearned compensation is being amortized ratably over the restricted stock vesting period of one year or three years.

~~In fiscal 2021,~~2022, the Company granted ~~120~~74 shares under the 2016 Plan to certain key employees. The awards were split into 2 tranches, 7144 performance shares and 4930 shares of time-based restricted shares, with a grant date fair value of ~~$3.74~~$8.00 per share. The awards vest over three years.

If all outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and vest at the target number of shares, there are approximately ~~572~~456 shares that remain available for award at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. If any of the outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and vest at greater than the target number of shares, up to a maximum of 200% or 150% of such target, then a fewer number of shares would be available for award.

Stock-based compensation under the 2016 Plan was ~~$143~~$161 and ~~$155~~$143 during the first three months of fiscal ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. As of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there was ~~$656~~$779 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance shares and restricted shares awarded under the 2016 Plan. The Company expects to recognize this cost over the next 1.6 years.

As referenced in Note 5, Debt, the PPP Loan application for forgiveness was in review with the SBA as of December 31, 2021. In ~~the normal course of business,~~January 2022, the Company ~~may be involved in ordinary, routine legal actions.~~was notified by the SBA that the full PPP Loan originating amount of $5,025 was forgiven. All accrued interest was forgiven and the amount previously repaid by the Company of $261 was reimbursed to the Company by its lender. The Company ~~cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related~~elected to ~~these matters; however, it does not believe any~~treat the PPP Loan as debt under FASB Topic 470. As such, matters are material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains various liability insurance coverages to protect its assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations; however, it is possible that the Company’s future operating results could be affected by future costs of litigation.

~~A subsidiary of~~ the Company ~~Quality Aluminum Forge, LLC ("Orange"), is currently a defendant~~will derecognize the liability in a lawsuit filed by Avco Corporation (“Avco”) in the Pennsylvania State Court, which was filed in August 2019, alleging that certain forged pistons delivered by the Orange plant failed to meet material specifications required by Avco. Avco also sued Arconic, Inc. (“Arconic”), which was the raw material supplier. No specific amount of damages was claimed by Avco and discovery has only recently begun. Orange disputes the allegations made by Avco and has made cross claims against Arconic. Previously, Orange was a defendant with respect to the same action in the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, which action was dismissed in connection with the movement of the matter to Pennsylvania State Court. Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes and other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these types of matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. Given the current status of this matter, the Company has not recorded a charge, as the Company has not deemed it probable and does not have a reasonable basis on which to establish an estimate.

The Company is a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, which was filed in August 2017, arising from employee wage-and-hour claims under California law for alleged meal period, rest break, hourly and overtime wage calculation, timely wage payment and necessary expenditure indemnification violations; failure to maintain required wage records and furnish accurate wage statements; and unfair competition. A settlement has been reached and the Company received preliminary court approval on July 13, 2020, following a brief delay caused by COVID-19 closures and restrictions. Class action notices were sent at the end of September and there were no objections to the settlement. On February 4, 2021, the court issued a tentative ruling to grant final approval. The final approval hearing is scheduled for April 16, 2021. The Company previously recorded an estimated loss of $315, which was determined to be an adequate reserve to cover the settlement.

During fiscal 2020, the Company received notice from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union that they were disclaiming all interest in representing certain hourly employees at the Company’s Cleveland facility. Subsequently, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Union filed a petition to represent this same group of hourly employees. A mail ballot election took place in June 2020 and the National Labor Relations Board certified the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers as the elected representative of the Company’s hourly production employees. The Company’s obligations will be more fully understood following the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the insurance claim related to the fire on December 26, 2018 at the Orange location was finalized with the Company's insurance carrier. The Company continues to work diligently to restore the final 2 of the 6 presses damaged in the fire, which both continue to be on track to be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal ~~2021; however, no assurances can be made that~~2022 when the ~~restoration will be completed within such timeframe.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain various forward-looking statements and includes assumptions concerning the Company’s operations, future results and prospects. The words "will," "may," "designed to," "outlook," "believes," "should," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," "estimates," "forecasts" and similar expressions identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risk and uncertainties. In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company provides this cautionary statement identifying important economic, political and technological factors, among others, the absence or effect of which could cause the actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions. Such factors include the following: (1) the impact on business conditions in general, and on the demand for product in the ~~A&E~~aerospace and energy (or "A&E") industries in particular, of the global economic outlook, including the continuation of military spending at or near current levels and the availability of capital and liquidity from banks, the financial markets and other providers of credit; (2) the future business environment, including capital and consumer spending; (3) competitive factors, including the ability to replace business that may be lost at comparable margins; (4) metals and commodities price increases and the Company’s ability to recover such price increases; (5) successful development and market introduction of new products and services; (6) continued reliance on consumer acceptance of regional and business aircraft powered by more fuel efficient turboprop engines; (7) continued reliance on military spending, in general, and/or several major customers, in particular, for revenues; (8) the impact on future contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans due to changes in actuarial assumptions, government regulations and the market value of plan assets; (9) stable governments, business conditions, laws, regulations and taxes in economies where business is conducted; (10) the ability to successfully integrate businesses that may be acquired into the Company’s operations; (11) cyber and other security threats or disruptions faced by us, our customers or our suppliers and other partners; (12) our exposure to additional risks as a result of our international business, including risks related to geopolitical and economic factors, suppliers, laws and regulations; (13) the ability to maintain a qualified workforce; (14) the adequacy and availability of our insurance coverage; (15) our ability to develop new products and technologies and maintain technologies, facilities, and equipment to win new competitions and meet the needs of our customers; (16) our ability to realize amounts in our backlog; (17) investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation and/or other legal proceedings; (18) extraordinary or force majeure events affecting the business or operations of our business; and (19) the impact of the novel COVID-19 pandemic and related impact on the global economy, which may exacerbate the above factors and/or impact our results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is engaged in the production of forgings and machined components primarily for the A&E markets. The processes and services provided by the Company include forging, heat-treating, machining, subassembly, and test. The Company operates under one business segment.

The Company endeavors to plan and evaluate its business operations while taking into consideration certain factors including the following: (i) the projected build rate for commercial, business and military aircraft, as well as the engines that power such aircraft; (ii) the projected maintenance, repair and overhaul schedules for commercial, business and military aircraft, as well as the engines that power such aircraft; and (iii) the projected build rate and repair for industrial turbines.

The Company operates within a cost structure that includes a significant fixed component. Therefore, higher net sales volumes are expected to result in greater operating income because such higher volumes allow the business operations to better leverage the fixed component of their respective cost structures. Conversely, the opposite effect is expected to occur at lower net sales and related production volumes.

A. Results of Operations

Overview

~~Fire Restoration~~

~~In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the insurance claim related to the fire on December 26, 2018 at the Orange location was finalized with the Company's insurance carrier.~~ The Company continues to work diligently to restore the final two of the six presses damaged in the fire, which both continue to be on track to be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021; however, no assurances can be made that the restoration will be completed within such timeframe. Restoration of the building structure is nearly complete.

Having finalized the claim with its insurance carrier, proceeds in the amount of $3.1 million was received in December 2020. The $3.1 million was recognized within the consolidated condensed statements of operations and the balance was separately designated to the landlord for the continued restoration of the damaged building as prescribed under the lease arrangement. The Company has business interruption insurance coverage, of which $0.5 million of the amount received was reflected within the cost of goods sold line within the consolidated condensed statement of operations.

~~For further detail of how the consolidated condensed statements of operations and balance sheets were impacted for the three months ended, refer to Note 10,~~ ~~Commitments and Contingencies.~~

The effects continue to evolve, including scope, severity and duration, as well as the potential of new outbreaks of the virus, the impact of new variants, actions to contain the continued spread or treat its impact, the effectiveness of the vaccine and vaccine rates, and governmental, business and other actions taken in response to the pandemic. The exact timing and pace of the recovery continues to be indeterminable as certain markets have reopened, some of which have since experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, and, throughout the course of time, new variants of COVID-19 have been identified and spread significantly, resulting in additional restrictions put in place by certain governments around the world.

Net sales for the first three months of fiscal ~~2021~~2022 decreased ~~$1.1~~$5.9 million to ~~$25.1~~$19.2 million, compared with ~~$26.2~~$25.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. In general, the production of the Company's products have lead times of varying lengths. The varying lead times, coupled with constraints caused by pressures in timely obtaining raw materials, have contributed to the decline of sales year over year, along with the current state of the commercial aerospace market, in particular, the wide body market. Rotorcraft sales decreased $4.2 million compared with the same period last year due to delays in receiving customer orders and a decrease in build rates. The energy components for power generation units decreased by $2.9 million due to variability in the steam turbine market that we serve. Commercial products and other revenue ~~decreased $4.3~~increased $1.1 million in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period in fiscal ~~2020,~~2021, primarily due to the timing of orders for the Hellfire II missile program. The energy components for power generation units increased by $3.8 million primarily due to customer order increases. Fixed wing aircraft sales decreased $1.5 million due to timing of customer orders and a decrease in build rates in certain commercial programs, partially offset by increased military programs. The increase in rotorcraft sales is primarily due to increased shipments relating to certain military programs.orders.

Commercial net sales were ~~42.9%~~43.4% of total net sales and military net sales were ~~57.1%~~56.6% of total net sales in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~38.9%~~42.9% and ~~61.1%~~57.1%, respectively, in the comparable period in fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. Military net sales decreased by ~~$1.7~~$3.4 million to ~~$14.3~~$10.9 million in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~$16.0~~$14.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2020,~~2021, primarily due to ~~the timing of~~delays in receiving customer orders ~~for the Hellfire II missile program.~~and ability to timely get material to

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold decreased by ~~$1.7~~$1.9 million, or ~~7.6%~~9.1%, to ~~$21.2~~$19.2 million, or ~~84.4%~~99.9% of net sales, during the first three months of fiscal ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~$22.9~~$21.1 million or ~~87.3%~~84.4% of net sales, in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease ~~was~~is primarily due ~~primarily~~ to ~~cost controlling measures~~lower volume and ~~the non-recurrence~~lower labor costs, partially offset by $1.2 million of ~~the one-time pension withdrawal liability charge of $0.8~~idle expense and $0.3 million ~~incurred~~ in ~~the prior year. Another contributing factor to the decrease was the Company received~~higher natural gas costs. Prior year included approximately $0.5 million in insurance recoveries related to business interruption ~~of $0.5 million, which partially mitigated~~from the ~~$0.4 million of unabsorbed costs incurred from its~~fire claim that occurred in December 2018 at the Orange, California ("Orange") location ~~due to reduced production.~~.

Gross Profit

Gross profit ~~increased $0.6~~decreased $3.9 million to a breakeven amount in the first three months of fiscal 2022, compared with $3.9 million of gross profit in the comparable period of fiscal 2021. Gross margin percent of sales was nominal during the first three months of fiscal ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~$3.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2020. Gross margin percent of sales was~~ 15.6% ~~during the first three months of fiscal 2021, compared with 12.7%~~ in the comparable period in fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in gross profit was primarily due to ~~the reduced cost of goods sold~~decreased volume and higher costs as ~~outlined~~described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were ~~$3.8~~$3.5 million, or ~~15.3%~~18.4% of net sales during the first three months of fiscal ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~$4.2~~$3.8 million, or ~~16.1%~~15.3% of net sales in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to ~~the continued cost reduction efforts by management~~$0.2 million in ~~response to COVID-19 and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on operations such as~~ lower ~~wages related to a first quarter furlough at one location and less travel expense, partially offset by higher legal and professional costs and~~ commissions.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles was ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2020.~~

~~Other/General~~

~~The Company recorded income before taxes of $2.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2021, compared with a loss before taxes of $1.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020.~~2021. Such decrease was primarily due to certain intangible assets which became fully amortized.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate through the first three months of fiscal ~~2021~~2022 was ~~(43)%~~1.3%, compared with 7%(43)% for the same period of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in the effective rate was primarily attributable to ~~a discrete~~ tax ~~benefit recorded during the first three months of fiscal 2021 to adjust~~benefits from adjusting deferred taxes recorded in Italy ~~applied against year-to-date income. Additionally, the effective tax rate decreased as~~recognized on a ~~result of changes in jurisdictional mix of income~~discrete basis in fiscal 2021, ~~compared with the same period of~~which were non-recurring in fiscal ~~2020.~~2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Presented below is certain financial information based on the Company's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. References to “EBITDA” mean earnings (losses) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and references to “Adjusted EBITDA” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance and liquidity, including the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and it uses EBITDA to evaluate prospective acquisitions. Although the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the reasons noted above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations. Therefore, reviewers of the Company’s financial information should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

•Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on indebtedness;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;

•The omission of the substantial amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; and

•Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of operations.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its businesses. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income (loss), net sales, and operating income (loss), to measure operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and neither should be considered as an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net ~~loss~~income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Historically, the~~The main sources of liquidity for the Company have been cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement. ~~However,~~We anticipate that cash provided by the cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, which primarily include operating expenses, including salaries and working capital requirements. The ongoing impact and magnitude of COVID-19 continues to remain uncertain (including the ~~COVID-19 pandemic (and~~pandemic's continued effects on the ~~rapidly changing U.S.~~global economy and ~~global~~potential for market ~~and economic conditions~~disruptions) due to the COVID-19 outbreak) remain uncertain, with the commercial aerospace market continuing to be impacted by the global disruption in travel and, further, the pandemic and responses to the continued spread of the pandemic causing continued interruptions to the business of our customers and suppliers, which in turn ~~is likely to~~can impact our business operations and results as well as our liquidity and capital resources. The Company's liquidity could be negatively affected by customers extending payment terms to the Company and/or the decrease in demand for our products as a result of the impact of ~~the~~ COVID-19 on the commercial airline industry. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the Company's operations continues to evolve, the Company and management will continue to assess and actively manage liquidity needs. See "Results of Operation" for further discussion of the impact of COVID-19.

Cash and cash equivalents was ~~$1.2~~$0.7 million at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million at September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. At December 31 ~~2020, $0.8 million~~2021, the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were in the possession of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Distributions from the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries to the Company may be subject to adverse tax consequences.

Operating Activities

The Company’s operating activities provided $1.2 million of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2022, generated primarily by accounts receivable collections, an increase in accounts payable due to increased raw material purchases and other non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization. Cash generation activities were partially offset by the net loss of $3.7 million and a $2.7 million increase in inventory to support sales in fiscal 2022.

The Company’s operating activities provided $3.1 million of cash in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021, compared with usage of~~2021. The cash ~~of $1.0 million~~provided by operating activities in the first three months of ~~fiscal 2020. The cash provided in~~ fiscal 2021 was primarily due to net income of ~~$2.9~~$3.0 million and $1.4 million decrease in net working capital, partially offset by $1.2 million in non-cash items, such as gain on insurance recovery, and deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity based compensation, and LIFO effect. The cash provided ~~from~~by working capital was primarily due to decrease in receivables due to customer collections and decreased accrued liabilities.

The Company’s operating activities used $1.0 million of cash in the first three months of fiscal 2020. The cash used by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to an increase in working capital of $1.4 million and net loss of $1.3 million, partially offset by $1.8 million of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization of $1.9 million, and other non-cash items, such as equity based compensation, deferred income taxes and LIFO effect. The use of cash

~~from working capital was primarily due to increase in inventories and payments to suppliers, partially offset by decreased receivables resulting from collections.~~

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities was $0.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2022, compared with $0.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2021, which includes $3.5 million of insurance recovery on the damaged property related to the fire at the Orange ~~location, compared with cash provided for investing activities of $1.2 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020.~~location. Capital expenditures were $3.7 million, of which $3.2 million related to the continued restoration of the Orange location as a result of the fire. In addition to the $3.7 million spent for capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal 2021, $1.6 million was committed for future capital expenditurescommitments as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021 were $1.0 million. The Company anticipates that the remaining total fiscal ~~2021~~2022 capital expenditures will be within the range of ~~$2.5~~$3.0 million to ~~$4.5~~$4.0 million ~~(exclusive of fire related expenditures)~~ and will relate principally to the further enhancement of production and product offering capabilities and drive operating cost reductions. Separate from the amounts given above, the Company anticipates incurring additional costs in fiscal 2021 of approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million in capital expenditures at the Orange location as the result of the fire and resulting damage that took place. These costs are expected to be offset by the insurance proceeds received.

Financing Activities

Cash used byfor financing activities was $0.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2022, compared with cash used for financing activities of $2.1 million in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021, compared~~2021.

As discussed in Note 5, Debt, the Company's Maniago location obtained new borrowings from a lender during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 for approximately $1.1 million with ~~cash~~a six year term. The proceeds of this loan are to be used ~~by financing activities of $0.2~~for working capital purposes. Short-term debt repayments were $1.5 million in the first three months of fiscal ~~2020.~~2022 compared with net short-term debt borrowings of $1.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 2021.

The Company had net ~~repayments from~~borrowings to the revolver under the Credit Agreement of $0.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2022 compared with net repayments of $3.7 million in the first three months of fiscal ~~2021 and net borrowings of $1.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020.~~2021.

Under the Company's Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to certain customary loan covenants regarding availability as discussed in Note 5, Debt. The availability at December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$16.8 million.~~$12.2 million, which was greater than the 10.0% of the

Revolving Commitment as of December 31, 2021. As such, no covenant calculation was required. If availability had fallen short, the Company would be required to meet the fixed charge coverage ratio ("FCCR") covenant, which must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. In the event of a default, we may not be able to access our revolver, which could impact the ability to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and invest in new business opportunities. ~~Because~~

As noted in Note 10, Subsequent Events, the ~~availability~~Company was ~~greater than the 12.5%~~notified that its application for forgiveness of the ~~Revolving Commitment as of December 31, 2020,~~$5.0 million PPP Loan was approved by the ~~FCCR calculation was not required.~~

The Company will derecognize the liability in the ~~U.S. or excessive aging~~second quarter of fiscal 2022 when the ~~underlying receivables as a result of~~loan is forgiven and the ~~impact of~~Company is legally released from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect the collateral capacity limitation of the availability under the Credit Agreement and could impact our ability to comply with covenants in our Credit Agreement.loan.

Future cash flows from the Company’s operations may be used to pay down amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement and its foreign related debts. The Company believes it has adequate cash/liquidity available to finance its operations from the combination of (i) the Company’s expected cash flows from operations and (ii) funds available under the Credit Agreement for its domestic locations. The Company was able to ~~defer payments for certain debt obligations~~obtain new financing at its Maniago location to provide Maniago with sufficient liquidity. The Company's current Credit Agreement is set to mature within the next twelve months. As such, the Company’s plan is to refinance. However, there are no guarantees that the refinance will be with similar terms to the current Credit Agreement, and if the refinance does not occur, the Company would not be able to meet its debt obligations.

Additionally, the credit and capital markets ~~has~~have seen significant ~~volatility.~~volatility during the course of the pandemic. Tightening of the credit market and standards, as well as capital market volatility, could negatively impact our ability to obtain additional debt financing on terms equivalent to our existing Credit Agreement, in the event the Company seeks additional liquidity sources as a result of the continued impact of COVID-19. Capital market uncertainty and volatility, together with the Company’s market capitalization and status as a smaller reporting company could also negatively impact our ability to obtain equity financing.

~~D. Impact of~~

C. Recently ~~Issued~~Adopted Accounting Standards

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "~~For recently adopted accounting standards refer to Note 1, ~~Financial Instruments~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - ~~Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~" and subsequent updates. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical

information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. However, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, ~~"Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),"~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards ~~which defers the effective date~~ for public filers that are considered smaller reporting companies ("SRC"), as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Because SIFCO is considered a SRC, the Company does not need to implement until October 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results within the consolidated condensed statements of operations and financial condition.further detail.

~~In December 2019, ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"~~ was issued to (i) reduce the complexity of the standard by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and (ii) improve consistency and simplify other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective beginning October 1, 2021. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the rules on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and disclosure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include components of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ~~not~~ effective, the information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as ~~a result of the continuing existence of the material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting described in Item 9A of the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.~~

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on aappropriate to allow timely ~~basis.~~

~~The following material weakness related to our control environment existed as of December 31, 2020.~~

•~~Insufficient review of specific controls associated with revenue, inventory and income taxes at the Maniago location.~~

The control environment deficiencies described above could have resulted in a failure to prevent or detect a material misstatement in our financial statements due to the omission of information or inappropriate conclusionsdecisions regarding ~~information~~ required to be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in the Company’s SEC reports. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

~~Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting~~

~~Management and the Company's Board of Directors are committed to improving the Company's overall system of internal controls over financial reporting.~~

~~To address the material weakness identified in our control environment, the Company is taking the following actions to remediate the material weakness:~~

•Using a risk-based approach, management will implement additional monitoring controls through increased oversight and training local management to execute additional controls in detecting material errors.

•External resources with specialized knowledge and expertise, where appropriate, will be engaged and utilized and additional review controls will be instituted to prevent and detect material errors on a timely basis.

With the oversight of senior management and the Company's Board of Directors, the Company continues to take steps and additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the identified material weakness, including but not limited to (i) engaging subject matter experts on an as need basis to assist management in generating accurate, transparent, and timely financial information, and (ii) continue to strengthen organizational structure including holding individuals accountable for their internal control responsibilities.

Although we continue to make meaningful progress on our remediation plan during fiscal year 2021, we cannot estimate how long it will take to complete the process or the costs of actions required. There is no assurance that the aforementioned plans will be sufficient and that additional steps may not be necessary.disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting ~~and other Remediation~~

No material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Items 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are not applicable or the answer to such items is negative; therefore, the items have been omitted and no reference is required in this Quarterly Report.

~~Item 1. Legal Proceedings~~

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in ordinary, routine legal actions. The Company cannot reasonably estimate future costs, if any, related to these matters and does not believe any such matters are material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains various liability insurance coverages to protect its assets from losses arising out of or involving activities associated with ongoing and normal business operations; however, it is possible that the Company’s future operating results could be affected by future costs of litigation. For a more information regarding our outstanding material legal proceedings, see Note 10, ~~Commitments and Contingencies~~.
