NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with information reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC related to interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2019~~June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2020 or any interim period.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haynes International, Inc. and directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy and our business. Due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented a temporary shut-down of most of the Company’s production operations beginning the week of March 23, 2020, which impacted the last week of the second quarter. The shut-down continued into the third quarter with operations resuming in mid-April in certain areas on a voluntary basis. As a result of the rapidly changing business environment, unprecedented market volatility and heightened degree of uncertainty resulting form COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business and financial results. The Company believes that cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, and the entry into new financing arrangements prior to maturity of the current agreement in July 2021 will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This new guidance requires that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term of more than twelve months, with the result being the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability. The new lease accounting requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method, which did not require the Company to adjust comparative periods. The Company’s right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date in an amount that represents the present value of future lease payments. ROU assets are included in Other assets, and the related lease obligation is included in Operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of the standard had no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients included in this guidance which allowed it to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and, (iii) the initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company will recognize lease expense for operating leases in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also made a policy election to not recognize ROU asset 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 are reflected

Table of Contents

in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company has expanded the disclosure of operating leases included in Note 16.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 which had an impact of increasing accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing accumulated earnings by $13,283.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements on fair value statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on its disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Table of Contents~~

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The new current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses, and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3. Revenues from Contracts with Customers

Contract Balances

As of September 30, 2019 and ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, accounts receivable with customers were $77,420 and ~~$66,498,~~$52,887, respectively. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2019 and ~~December 31, 2019~~June 30, 2020 were ~~$441~~$441 and ~~$464,~~$602, respectively, and are presented within accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts on the consolidated balance sheet.��

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. As of September 30, 2019 and ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, no contract liabilities have been recorded except for $17,829 and ~~$17,204,~~$15,954, respectively, for the Titanium Metals Corporation agreement, as described in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 5. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended ~~December 31, 2018~~June 30, 2019 and ~~2019~~2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to state income taxes,differing tax rates on foreign earnings and discrete tax items that impacted income tax expense in these periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~December 31, 2018~~June 30, 2020 was ~~5.9%~~20.3% on ~~($1,704)~~$(10,158) of loss before income taxes ~~and 26.0%~~compared to 28.1% on income before income taxes of ~~$4,417~~$5,288 for the three months ended ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2019. Income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was unfavorably impacted by a valuation allowance in the amount of $980 on deferred tax assets related to tax credits that are not expected to be realized before expiration. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was 211.9% on $(244) of loss before income taxes compared to 34.1% on income before income taxes of $5,623 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019. Income tax expense in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2019 was unfavorably impacted by the forfeiture of unexercised stock options, which resulted in approximately $300 of additional tax expense.

~~Table~~On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. The CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including modifications to the rules limiting the deductibility of ~~Contents~~net operating losses (NOLs), expensing of qualified improvement property (OIP) and business interest in IRC Sections 172(a) and 163(j), respectively. The effects of the new legislation are recognized upon enactment, which (for U.S. federal legislation) is the date the President signs a bill into law. There was not significant impact to income tax expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 relating to the CARES Act.

Note 6. Pension and Post-retirement Benefits

Components of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2018~~June 30, 2019 and ~~2019~~2020 were as follows:

The Company expects to make contributions of ~~$4,500~~$1,500 to its U.S. pension plan, ~~$3,463~~$2,013 to its other post-retirement benefit plan and ~~$540~~$0 to the U.K. pension plan for the remainder of fiscal 2020.

Note 7. Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies

Legal

The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, commercial, employment and federal and/or state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative actions. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with

Table of Contents

any degree of certainty; however, based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that such costs will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, a customer based in the United Kingdom wrote to the Company making a claim in relation to certain product sold to that customer by the Company. This writing was followed up by claim correspondence infrom 2018 ~~and 2019.~~through early 2020. The Company has engaged its legal advisors in the United Kingdom to respond to the claim, and correspondence between the parties’ respective counsel remains ongoing. To date, the insurers have not accepted coverage responsibility for the claim but have agreed to fund expenses of legal counsel selected by the Company through the date of the determination regarding coverage. The Company intends to pursue such coverage as and if necessary while vigorously defending against the customer claim. Liability for the claim is disputed, and the amount of the claim, if any, remains unclear. Based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that the claim will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental

The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources to close and provide ~~post‑closure~~post-closure environmental monitoring and care for certain areas of its Kokomo, Indiana and Mountain Home, North Carolina facilities, respectively.

The Company is required to, among other things, monitor groundwater and to continue ~~post‑closure~~post-closure maintenance of the former disposal areas at each site. As a result, the Company is aware of elevated levels of certain contaminants in the groundwater, and additional testing and corrective action by the Company could be required. The Company is unable to estimate the costs of any further corrective action at these sites, or other sites, if required. In addition, the Company occasionally has regulatory violations that may be required to be reported at the state or federal level. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the costs of any future corrective action at these or any other current or former sites would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

As of September 30, 2019 and ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, the Company has accrued $606 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, of which $508 is included in long-term obligations as it is not due within one year. Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the post-closure monitoring.

~~Table of Contents~~

Expected maturities of post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) included in long-term obligations are as follows at ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020.

On February 11, 2016, the Company voluntarily reported to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality a leak that it discovered in one of its chemical cleaning operations at its Arcadia, Louisiana facility. As a result of the discovery, the Company is working with that department to determine the extent of the issue and appropriate remediation. Management does not currently expect that any remediation costs related to this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Note 8. Deferred Revenue

On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a twenty-year agreement to provide conversion services to Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) for up to ~~ten~~10 million pounds of titanium metal annually. TIMET paid the Company a $50,000 up-front fee and will also pay the Company for its processing services during the term of the agreement ~~(20 years)~~(20 years) at prices established by the terms of the agreement. TIMET may exercise an option to have ~~ten~~10 million additional pounds of titanium converted annually, provided that it offers to loan up to $12,000 to the Company for certain capital expenditures which may be required to expand capacity. In addition to the volume commitment, the Company has granted TIMET a first priority security interest in its four-high Steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements. The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing). The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium ~~hot-rolling~~hot-

Table of Contents

rolling conversion services to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the Conversion Services Agreement. The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including liquidated damages of $25,000 and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages. Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur. Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract. The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net

The Company has goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles. As the customer relationships have a definite life, they are amortized over ~~lives ranging from fifteen~~a life of sixteen years. The Company reviews customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value of a trademark exceeds its fair value (determined using an income approach, based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. The impairment test for goodwill is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment loss in the event that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value. Any goodwill impairment loss recognized would not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. NoNaN impairment has been recognized as of ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020.

During the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020, there were no0 changes in the carrying amount of goodwill.

~~Table of Contents~~

Amortization of customer relationships and other intangibles was ~~$105~~$50 and ~~$51~~$50 for the three-month periods ended ~~December 31, 2018~~June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively and $205 and $150 for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2019 ~~respectively~~and 2020, respectively.

Note 10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

~~Table of Contents~~

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share for the periods indicated:

Stock Options

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectations regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant. The following assumptions were used for grants during fiscal ~~years 2019 and~~year 2020:

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value.

●Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

●Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

15

Table of Contents

●Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally-generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is determined using Level 1 information. The Company had no Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2019 or ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020.

U.S. and international equities, fixed income and other investments held in the Company’s pension plan are held in mutual funds and common / collective funds which are valued using net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with guidance included in ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).

Note 14. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component

Comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) items, including pension, post-retirement and foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily caused by the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling, net of tax when applicable.

Note 16. Leases

Nature of the Leases

The Company has operating and financing leases for buildings, equipment (e.g. trucks and forklifts), vehicles, and computer equipment. Leasing arrangements require fixed payments and also include an amount that is probable will be owed under residual value guarantees, if applicable. Some lease payments also include payments related to purchase or termination options when the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option or is not reasonably certain not to exercise the option, respectively. The leases have remaining terms of one to 17 years.

For all leases with an initial expected term of more than 12 months, the Company recorded, at the adoption date of ASC 842 or lease commencement date for leases entered into after the adoption date, a lease liability, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or to control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The Company utilizes its collateralized incremental borrowing rate commensurate to the lease term as the discount rate for its leases, unless the Company can specifically determine the lessor’s implicit rate.

~~Table of Contents~~

Significant Judgments and Assumptions

Determination of Whether a Contract Contains a Lease

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. The contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company generally must also have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the property, plant, and equipment and have the right to direct its use.

Practical Expedients (Policy Elections)

The Company elected certain practical expedients and transition relief, including the short-term lease recognition exemption, which excludes leases with a term of 12 months or less from recognition on the balance sheet, recognizing lease components and ~~non-lease~~non-

Table of Contents

lease components together as a single lease component, and the transition relief package which, among other things, includes not reassessing the lease classification or whether a contract is or contains a lease.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s lease cost for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020.

Note 17. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce income statement volatility resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions. The Company has not designated the contracts as hedges, therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All of these contracts are designed to be settled within the same fiscal quarter they are entered into and, accordingly, as of ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, there were no contracts that remain unsettled. As a result, there was no impact to the balance sheet from those contracts as of September 30, 2019 or ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020. Foreign exchange hedging gains and losses are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations along with foreign currency transactional gains and losses as follows.

Business Overview

Haynes International, Inc. (“Haynes” or “the Company”) is one of the world’s largest producers of high-performance nickel and cobalt based alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company is focused on developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing technologically advanced, high-performance alloys, which are sold primarily in the aerospace, chemical processing and industrial gas turbine industries. The Company’s products consist of high-temperature resistant alloys, or HTA products, and corrosion-resistant alloys, or CRA products. HTA products are used by manufacturers of equipment that is subjected to extremely high temperatures, such as jet engines, gas turbine engines, and industrial heating and heat treatment equipment. CRA products are used in applications that require resistance to very corrosive media found in chemical processing, power plant emissions control and hazardous waste treatment. Management believes Haynes is one of the principal producers of high-performance alloy flat products in sheet, coil and plate forms, and sales of these forms, in the aggregate, represented approximately 58% of net product revenues in fiscal 2019. The Company also produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, and in slab, bar, billet and wire forms.

The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Arcadia, Louisiana; and Mountain Home, North Carolina. The Kokomo facility specializes in flat products, the Arcadia facility specializes in tubular products, and the Mountain Home facility specializes in wire products. The Company’s products are sold primarily through its direct sales organization, which includes 12 service and/or sales centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. All of these centers are Company operated.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic, and the continuously evolving responses to combat it, have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy and our business.

COVID-19 related disruptions continued to negatively impact the Company’s financial and operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. In particular, the aerospace supply chain is currently absorbing significant downward adjustments to its forecasted demand. With select aerospace customers, the Company has accepted order push outs and cancellations in some cases. Markets other than aerospace have also been depressed with uncertainty and tight cash management impacting customer ordering patterns. The Company has taken significant actions to position itself to manage through the current market disruption caused by COVID-19. There is no guarantee, however, that these measures will prove sufficient. These measures include:

Table of Contents

●

Implemented a 10% reduction in salaries of all members of the executive team and cash compensation of the Board of Directors. Discontinued monthly accruals for management incentive compensation.

●

A temporary shut-down of most of the Company’s production operations beginning the week of March 23, 2020, which impacted the last week of the second quarter and continued into the third quarter with operations resuming in mid-April in certain areas on a voluntary basis.

●

Furloughs implemented for certain production, maintenance and salaried employees. The primary objective is to attempt to minimize spending as sales volume declines

●

Eliminated approximately 60 salaried positions, implemented a global hiring freeze and eliminated annual merit increases for salaried employees.

●

Requiring most salaried employees to take one week of unpaid time off during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

●

Significant focus on reducing discretionary spending as well as reviewing and prioritizing capital expenditures.

●

Focused on reducing inventory to line up with sales volumes. This inventory reduction strategy has and is expected to continue to generate cash.

While the foregoing actions are expected to generate cost savings and cash benefits, the Company cannot determine what additional actions may be required. The Company’s business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that may change at any time and, therefore, actual cost savings and cash benefits, if any, may differ materially from what the Company anticipates.

Due to the current unprecedented market and economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, the extent of the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations cannot be reasonably estimated due to lower revenue leading to lower volumes and unfavorable fixed cost absorption. However, we expect our results from operations and cash flows for the remainder of fiscal 2020 to be adversely impacted by the pandemic. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II. Other Information for further information regarding the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, see Liquidity and Capital Resources below for certain actions taken by the Company in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dividends Paid and Declared

In the first, ~~quarter~~second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. The first quarter dividend was paid on December 16, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 2, ~~2019.~~2018, the second quarter dividend was paid on March 16, 2020 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 2, 2020 and the third quarter dividend was paid on June 15, 2020 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2020. The dividend cash ~~pay-out~~pay-outs in each of the first, ~~quarter was~~second and third quarters were approximately $2.8 million based on the number of shares ~~outstanding and equal to approximately $11.0 million on an annualized basis.~~outstanding.

Capital Spending

During the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020, capital investment was ~~$2.3~~$7.1 million, and total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2020 are expected to be ~~approximately $12.0 million.~~ between $9.0 and $10.0 million to allow for maintaining reliability within operations.

Volumes, Competition and Pricing

~~Overall shipments during~~Due to the ~~first~~widespread impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, demand for the Company’s products has been negatively impacted across all of the Company’s major end markets. Most significantly aerospace volumes have declined with announced reductions in commercial aerospace build schedules combined with a reduction in repair, maintenance & overhaul activity. The commercial airline industry has been dramatically impacted along with the corresponding aerospace supply chain. Complicating the demand situation includes: 1) The elevated amount of inventory throughout the aerospace supply chain, 2) The significant number of undelivered new planes already built (primarily Boeing 737 MAX), 3) The significant number of parked planes taken out of service, and 4) The cash

preservation mode occurring with many customers in the supply chain resulting in very conservative order entry trends. All of the major Company markets, not just aerospace, have been impacted by the last item noted. In addition, customers delaying capital expenditures in the chemical processing industry are being impacted by both economic condition uncertainty as well as low oil prices.

Last quarter, the Company estimated that overall volumes could be lower by 15-30% this quarter as compared to the second quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2020. Volume actually declined ~~from the prior quarter and prior year’s first quarter due to a number of factors. Volume shipped in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was 4.2 million pounds, which was~~ 1.2 million pounds, ~~lower~~or 26.7%, sequentially than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and 0.1 million pounds lower than last year’s first quarter, which was impacted by a planned equipment outage. Volume shipped into the aerospace market in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was 0.4 million pounds lower sequentially comparedfrom second to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 but higher than last year’s first quarter by 0.2 million pounds. Uncertainty is elevated in the aerospace market with the Boeing announcement that it has temporarily suspended production of the grounded 737 MAX and the corresponding impact in the aerospace supply chain. The Company has also seen adjustments in the ordering patterns for supply chains other than the Boeing 737 MAX. These headwinds are detrimental to current and near-term shipments into the aerospace market. The Company believes the demand drivers in the aerospace market are favorable long-term. Volume shipped into the chemical processing market in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was lower sequentially by 0.5 million pounds compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and lower than the firstthird quarter of fiscal year ~~2019 by 0.1~~2020 to 3.2 million pounds. This represented a 1.95 million pounds, ~~driven by lower base-business volumes which~~or 38.1%, decline from last year’s third quarter. Due to abnormally low levels of production during the current quarter, the Company ~~attributes to trade tariffs and global economic uncertainty. However, the lower base-business was slightly offset by higher specialty application projects. Pounds shipped in the first quarter~~directly expensed a portion of fiscal 2020 into the industrial gas turbine market were 0.1 million pounds lower sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 but slightly higher than last year’s first quarter. The primary industrial gas turbine market activity was attributable to a slight improvement in demand for large-frame turbines, while small/medium frame engine builds have slowed down primarily due to the oil and gas market. Volume shipped into the other markets category in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was lower sequentially by 0.1 million pounds compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and lower by 0.2 million pounds compared to last year’s first quarter, driven by a reduction in flue gas desulfurization shipments.fixed overhead costs.

The product average selling price per pound in the ~~first~~third quarter of fiscal 2020 was ~~$23.97,~~$24.41, which is higher sequentially compared to the ~~fourth~~second quarter of fiscal ~~2019~~2020 and higher than last year’s ~~first~~third quarter. The increase iswas primarily driven by favorable product mix and the impact of price increases. The Company continues to ~~emphasize~~pursue price increases in ~~our~~its high-value differentiated ~~products~~ products.

In the third quarter, the Company charged $5.9 million directly to ~~17.3% as compared~~cost of goods sold for excess fixed overhead incurred due to ~~16.4%~~abnormally low production levels that could not be capitalized into inventory. Further, third quarter charges to cost of goods sold were incurred due to additional inventory reserves and separation costs related to workforce reduction measures. Finally, additional margin compression occurred due to nickel prices dropping during the prior two quarters.

The ~~product-sales~~product average selling price was ~~$23.97~~$24.41 per pound in the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020, an increase of ~~1.9%~~5.0% from ~~$23.53~~$23.25 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase in average selling price ~~increased as a result of improved pricing and~~per pound largely reflects a higher value product mix ~~within the industrial gas turbine~~most notably in chemical processing and other markets as compared to the same period of ~~fiscal 2019, in the amount~~last year, and improved pricing, both of ~~approximately $0.45~~which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.45.

Partially offsetting this were lower shipments as the supply chain began to be impacted by the grounding, production slow-down and eventually temporary suspension of production ofcontinued issues with the Boeing 737 MAX. The airline industry and the commercial aerospace industry has been dramatically impacted by the pandemic. Demand has also been impacted by the elevated amount of inventory throughout the aerospace supply chain, the significant number of undelivered new planes already built (primarily the Boeing 737 MAX), and the significant number of planes taken out of service. The increase in average selling price per pound ~~decrease~~largely reflects a ~~lower~~higher value product mix, combined with price increases taken over the past year, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.03, partially offset by lower market prices of raw materials, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately ~~$0.76, partially offset by improved pricing of $0.38 and an increase in raw material market prices, which increased average selling price~~$0.24 per ~~pound by approximately $0.07.~~pound.

Sales to the chemical processing market were ~~$16.7~~$12.1 million in the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020, a decrease of ~~11.7%~~42.7% from ~~$18.9~~$21.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2019, due to a ~~12.2%~~48.7% decrease in ~~volume.

Other Revenue. Other revenue was ~~$7.3~~$3.2 million in the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~40.3%~~54.4% from ~~$5.2~~$7.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2019. The ~~increase~~decrease was due primarily to ~~increased~~decreased toll conversion ~~particularly in titanium.~~ and miscellaneous sales. Toll conversion sales decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was ~~$89.7~~$77.9 million, or ~~82.7%~~96.7% of net revenues, in the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to ~~$95.7~~$107.9 million, or ~~89.4%~~85.6% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2019. ~~This~~The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes ~~sold combined with continued traction in the Company’s cost reduction initiatives~~ and lower raw material ~~prices.~~ prices combined with the Company’s actions taken to lower costs in response to COVID-19. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company took safety measures to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19, those actions included plant shutdowns during the month of April as well as voluntary and involuntary layoffs. Forced temporary layoffs were also activated. In an additional effort to cut expenses, the Company reduced its salaried workforce as well and incurred approximately $0.4 million in severance expenses. However, despite these cost reduction measures, fixed costs did not decline in line with the current production volumes which required directly expensing a portion of these fixed costs in the amount of approximately $5.9 million. Also, the Company recorded certain inventory reserves to cost of goods sold during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Gross Profit. As a result of the above factors, gross profit was ~~$18.7~~$2.6 million for the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$7.4~~$15.5 million from the same period of fiscal 2019. Gross ~~profit~~margin as a percentage of net revenue ~~increased~~decreased to ~~17.3%~~3.3% in the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to ~~10.6%~~14.4% in the same period of fiscal ~~2019.

This percentage decrease was primarily ~~attributable~~due to ~~improved pricing~~the above-mentioned $5.9 million direct charge to cost of goods sold and cost saving initiatives. Fiscal 2019 was impacted by the temporary inefficiencies caused by the delayed start-up of cold-finish operations after the planned equipment upgrade in the first three months of fiscal 2019.period costs spread over lower volumes.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was ~~$11.5~~$9.8 million for the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$0.4~~$1.2 million from the same period of fiscal 2019. ~~This increase is primarily attributable to higher expense due to foreign exchange losses.~~ Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues increased to ~~10.6%~~12.2% for the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to ~~10.4%~~8.7% for the same period of fiscal 2019. Significant cost saving measures were undertaken during the quarter including such actions as: reduced executive salaries, reduced board fees, reduced travel and entertainment expenses, management incentive programs were not accrued for, temporary layoffs, as well as reduced salaried workforce, which incurred approximately $0.2 million in severance expenses.

Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $0.9 million, or ~~0.8%~~1.1% of net revenue, for the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $0.8 million, or ~~0.8%~~0.7% of net revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2019.

Operating Income/(Loss). As a result of the above factors, operating ~~income~~loss in the ~~first three months~~third quarter of fiscal 2020 was ~~$6.4~~($8.1) million compared to an operating ~~loss~~income of ~~$(0.6)~~$6.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2019.

Nonoperating retirement benefit expense. Nonoperating retirement benefit expense was $1.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase in expense was primarily driven by lower discount rates in the September 30, 2019 valuation which resulted in higher retirement liabilities and ultimately higher expense for the ~~first~~third quarter of fiscal 2020.

Income Taxes. Income tax benefit was $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, a difference of $3.5 million from expense of $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, driven by a difference in income before income taxes of $15.4 million, partially offset by a valuation allowance recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 of $980 that are not expected to be realized prior to expiration.

Net Income/(Loss). As a result of the above factors, net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was ($8.1) million, compared to net income of $3.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2019.

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $300.6 million in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 16.6% from $360.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2019. Volume was 11.7 million pounds in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 19.8% from 14.6 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2019. The decrease in volume was primarily caused by COVID-19, issues in the aerospace supply chain due to the 737 MAX and low oil prices, partially offset by increased volumes in the industrial gas turbine market. The product average selling price was $24.15 per pound in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, an increase of ~~$1.2~~3.2% from $23.41 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2019. The average selling price increased as a result of a higher value mix and improved pricing as compared to the same period of fiscal 2019, in the amount of approximately $0.90 per pound, partially offset by lower raw material market prices, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.16.

Sales to the aerospace market were $158.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 16.5% from $189.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2019, due to an 19.4%, or 1.5 million pound, decrease in volume, partially offset by a ~~benefit~~3.5%, or $0.88,

increase in average selling price per pound. The decrease in volume is primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but also related to the reduced demand in the supply chain for the Boeing 737 MAX. The average selling price per pound increase reflects a higher value product mix and improved pricing, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.99, partially offset by lower raw material market prices, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.11.

Sales to the chemical processing market were $44.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 27.8% from $61.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2019, due to a 31.4% decrease in volume, partially offset by a 5.3%, or $1.09, increase in average selling price per pound. Base-business volumes decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from the same period of fiscal 2019, primarily due to COVID-19 and low oil prices. The average selling price per pound reflects a higher-value product mix and improved pricing, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $1.19, partially offset by a lower market prices for raw materials, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.10.

Sales to the industrial gas turbine market were $44.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, an increase of 1.1% from $43.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2019, due to an increase in volume of 5.0%, partially offset by a decrease in average selling price per pound of 3.6%, or $0.64. The increase in volume is primarily attributable to the initial impact of the Company’s share gain initiative and a slight improvement in demand for large-frame turbines prior to COVID-19, while demand for small/medium frame engine builds has slowed down. The decrease in average selling price per pound primarily reflects declined pricing due to competition and other factors combined with lower market prices for raw materials, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.84, partially offset by a higher-value product mix, which increased the average selling price per pound by approximately $0.20.

Sales to other markets were $35.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 23.6% from $46.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2019, due to a 38.3% decrease in volume, partially offset by a 23.9% increase in average selling price per pound. The decrease in volume was primarily due to a decline in sales to the flue-gas desulfurization market. The increase in average selling price reflects a higher-value product mix, which increased average selling price per pound by approximately $7.71, partially offset by lower raw material market prices and increased competition and other factors, which decreased average selling price per pound by approximately $0.75.

Other Revenue. Other revenue was $17.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of 4.5% from $18.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2019. The ~~effective tax rate (ETR)~~decrease was due primarily to lower miscellaneous sales, increases in sales return reserves and lower levels of toll conversion.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $259.9 million, or 86.5% of net revenues, in the first ~~quarter~~nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to $316.4 million, or 87.7% of ~~26.0%~~net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes sold combined with lower raw material prices and the Company’s actions taken to lower costs in response to COVID-19. However, despite these cost reduction measures, fixed costs did not decline in line with the current production volumes which required directly expensing a portion of these fixed costs in the amount of approximately $7.4 million.

Gross Profit. As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $40.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $3.5 million from the same period of fiscal 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue increased to 13.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to 12.3% in the same period of fiscal 2019. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to improved pricing and cost saving initiatives. Fiscal 2019 was impacted by the temporary inefficiencies caused by the delayed start-up of cold-finish operations after the planned equipment upgrade in the first three months of fiscal 2019. The first nine months of fiscal 2020 was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $32.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $0.7 million from the same period of fiscal 2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to cost saving measures taken with COVID-19, including temporary layoffs and workforce reductions, partially offset by severance expense of $0.2 million and an increase in foreign exchange losses. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenues increased to 10.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to 9.1% for the same period of fiscal 2019.

Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $2.8 million, or 0.9% of net revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, compared to $2.5 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher ~~than~~salary expenses due to headcount increases in this area.

Operating Income/(Loss). As a result of the ~~ETR during~~above factors, operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $5.8 million compared to operating income of $8.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2019.

Nonoperating retirement benefit expense. Nonoperating retirement benefit expense was $5.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to $2.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase in expense was primarily driven by lower discount

rates in the September 30, 2019 valuation which resulted in higher retirement liabilities and ultimately higher expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $0.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $1.4 million from expense of $1.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2019, ~~due to the prior year forfeiture~~driven by a difference in income before income taxes of ~~stock options which had an adverse impact of $0.3~~$5.9 million as well asa valuation allowance recorded during the ~~first~~third quarter of fiscal ~~2019. This adverse impact lowered the ETR in a period which the Company had pre-tax losses.~~2020 of $980 that are not expected to be realized prior to expiration.

Net Income/(Loss). As a result of the above factors, net ~~income~~loss for the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020 was ~~$3.3~~$(0.8) million, a difference of ~~$4.9~~$4.5 million from a net ~~loss~~income of ~~$(1.6)~~$3.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2019.

Working Capital

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was ~~$290.2~~$278.5 million at ~~December 31, 2019, an increase~~June 30, 2020, a decrease of ~~$7.8~~$4.0 million, or ~~2.8%~~1.4%, from $282.5 million at September 30, 2019. ~~This increase~~The decrease resulted primarily from ~~inventory increasing $23.2~~accounts receivable decreasing $24.7 million, partially offset by accounts ~~receivable~~payable and accrued expenses decreasing by ~~$10.9~~$15.6 million and inventory increasing by $5.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. A strategic emphasis on reducing inventory has been implemented with the goal of generating cash. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020 inventory was reduced $16.5 million and ~~accounts payable and accrued expenses increasing~~cash was increased by ~~$4.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020.~~ $13.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Comparative cash flow analysis

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$33.6~~$65.5 million at June 30, 2020, inclusive of ~~$9.9~~$11.0 million that was held by foreign subsidiaries in various currencies, compared to $31.0 million at September 30, 2019. Additionally, ~~there were zero~~the Company has borrowings against ~~the~~its line of credit outstanding of $30.0 million as of ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2020, compared to zero borrowed as of September 30, 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020 was ~~$7.0~~$19.7 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of ~~$7.1~~$28.3 million in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2019, a decrease of ~~$0.1~~$8.6 million. Cash flow from operating activities in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020 was adversely impacted by ~~greater increases in inventory and lower income~~higher tax ~~refunds~~payments as compared to the same period of fiscal 2019, ~~partially offset by higher net income and greater decreases~~an increase in inventory as compared to a decrease in the same period of fiscal 2019, a decrease in accounts ~~receivable~~payable and accrued expenses as compared to an increase in the same period of fiscal 2019 and a net loss in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020, as compared to net income in the same period of fiscal 2019. These impacts were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, as compared to an increase in the same period of fiscal 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities was ~~$2.3~~$7.1 million in the first ~~three months of fiscal 2020 which was comparable to the same period of fiscal 2019.~~

~~Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million in the first three~~nine months of fiscal 2020 which was lower than cash used in ~~financing~~investing activities of $7.3 million during the same period of fiscal ~~2018 of $2.9~~2019 due to lower additions to property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $21.8 million ~~primarily as a result of, among other factors, proceeds received from~~in the ~~exercise of stock options during the three~~first nine months of fiscal 2020, asprimarily driven by the borrowing of $30.0 million against the revolving line of credit compared to cash used in financing activities of $(8.5) million during the same period of fiscal 2019. This source of cash was partially offset by cash used in financing activities of $(8.3) million primarily attributable to dividends paid, which amount was comparable to the same period of fiscal 2019. ~~Stock options were exercised by certain members of management just prior to their 10 year expiration dates.~~The Company did not receive any financial assistance from the government including any loan under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act.

Future sources of liquidity

The Company’s sources of liquidity for ~~fiscal 2020~~the next twelve months are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on hand and, if needed, additional borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility. At ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of ~~$33.6~~$65.5 million and an outstanding balance of ~~zero on the~~$30.0 million under its $120.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility ~~and~~with access to ~~a total of approximately $120.0~~an additional $90.0 million, ~~under the U.S. revolving credit facility,~~ subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. Management believes that the resources described above will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures, ~~regular~~any quarterly dividends as approved by the board and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.

The aforementioned Credit Facility matures in July 2021. The Company expects to enter into new financing arrangements to meet its obligations as they become due, which management believes is probable based on current discussions with lenders and assessment of the current lending environment. The Company believes that cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, and the entry into new financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued.

U.S. revolving credit facility

The Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with certain other lenders with an effective date of July 14, 2011. On July 7, 2016, the Company amended the agreement to, among other things, extend the term through July 7, 2021 and reduce unused line fees and certain administrative fees. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement is $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. The Amended Agreement permits an increase in the maximum revolving loan amount from $120.0 million up to an aggregate amount of $170.0 million at the request of the borrower. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either Wells Fargo’s “prime rate”, plus up0.00% to 0.75% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up1.5% to 2.0% per ~~annum.~~annum (depending on the amount borrowed). The Company is currently borrowing in the lowest point in the range. As of ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, the U.S. revolving credit facility had a ~~zero balance.~~

~~Table~~balance of ~~Contents~~

$30.0 million.

The Company must pay monthly, in arrears, a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay 1.5% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of all issued letters of credit, plus customary fees for issuance, amendments and processing.

The Company is subject to certain covenants as to fixed charge coverage ratios and other customary covenants, including covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the granting of liens and the sale of assets. The covenant pertaining to fixed charge coverage ratios is only effective in the event the amount of excess availability under the revolver is less than 10.0% of the maximum credit revolving loan amount. The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met (most of which do not apply in the case of regular quarterly dividends less than $20.0 million in the aggregate in a year and repurchases in connection with the vesting of shares of restricted stock). As of ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, the most recent required measurement date under the Amended Agreement, management believes the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Amended Agreement. The Company currently believes it is not at material risk of not meeting its financial covenants over the next twelve months. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company, including the equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding the four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET”) to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement with TIMET (see discussion of TIMET at Note 8 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report). The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of a 65% equity interest in each of the Company’s direct foreign subsidiaries.

Future uses of liquidity

The Company’s primary uses of cash over the next twelve months are expected to consist of expenditures related to:

●Funding operations;

●Capital spending;

●Dividends to stockholders; and

●Pension and postretirement plan contributions.

Capital investment in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020 was ~~$2.3~~$7.1 million, and the forecast for capital spending in fiscal 2020 is ~~approximately $12.0 million.~~between $9.0 and $10.0 million to allow for maintaining reliability within operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of that report. For the quarter ended ~~December 31, 2019~~June 30, 2020 included herein, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and ~~estimates.~~ estimates.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As of ~~December 31, 2019,~~June 30, 2020, there were no material changes in the market risks described in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

The Company has performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness and the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act ~~rules~~Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~December 31, 2019.~~June 30, 2020.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1a. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I Item IA of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, we are exposed to certain additional risks and uncertainties which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results as a result of the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

~~Item 2. Unregistered Sales~~

The risks described herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. New risk factors or risks that we currently deem immaterial emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact such risk factors might have on our business, financial condition and operating results, or the extent to which any such risk factor or combination of ~~Equity Securities~~risk factors may impact our business, financial condition and ~~Use~~operating results.

Our results of ~~Proceeds~~operations, financial condition and cash flows have and may continue to be adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

~~Set forth below is information regarding~~Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price have and may continue to be adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the ~~Company’s stock repurchases during~~recent outbreak of COVID-19 which has spread from China to many other countries, including the ~~period covered~~United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The outbreak has resulted in governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments, school closures, and other measures. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world have enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of COVID-19.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and preventive or protective actions taken by governmental authorities may continue to have a material adverse effect on our operations, supply chain, customers and transportation networks, including business shutdowns or disruptions. The extent to which COVID-19 may continue to adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable due to lower revenue leading to lower volumes and unfavorable fixed cost absorption, depending upon the severity and duration of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Future financial impact cannot be estimated reasonably at this ~~report, comprising shares repurchased~~time because of the factors above, but may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The aerospace market, our largest market, has been particularly hit hard by the ~~Company from employees~~addition of COVID-19 issues to ~~satisfy share-based compensation.~~the pre-existing issues with the Boeing 737MAX, and we cannot determine what further effect that exacerbating factor will have on the aerospace market. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. Our indebtedness may increase due to our need to increase borrowing to fund operations during a period of reduced revenue. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
