In the fourth quarter of 2022, TimkenSteel entered into an agreement to sell the machinery and equipment used in the manufacturing of these specific products. TimkenSteel received down payments totaling $3.4 million, with $1.7 million received in 2022 and the remaining $1.7 million received in 2023. The Company utilizedfinal payment resulted in a gain on disposal of assets of $3.4 million in the practical expedient approach, based on amounts previously disclosed, to reclassify non-service componentssecond quarter of net periodic benefit cost from cost2023. The gain, which has been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, into other income (expense),Operations, was partially offset by asset write downs throughout 2023.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was calculated using forecasted multi-jurisdictional annual effective tax rates to determine a blended annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 28.3% and 26.5%, respectively, compared to a rate of (5.6)% and 3.1% for the prior year. The change was primarily related to higher federal and state taxes due to the reversal of the Company's full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2022, which offset the prior year utilization of loss carryforwards. Additionally, there are limitations on the tax deductibility of the first quarter of 2023 loss on extinguishment of debt on the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.
For the nine months ended September 30, 20172023, TimkenSteel made $17.0 million in U.S. federal payments, $3.4 million in state and local tax payments, and $1.2 million in foreign tax payments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, TimkenSteel made $2.0 million in U.S. federal payments, $2.2 million in state and local tax payments, and $0.2 million in foreign tax payments.
Note 8 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents calculated using the treasury stock method or if-converted method. For the Convertible Notes, the Company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Under the if-converted method, the Company adjusts net earnings to add back interest expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs) recognized on the Convertible Notes and includes the number of shares potentially issuable related to the Convertible Notes in the weighted average shares outstanding. Treasury shares are excluded from the denominator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Equity-based Awards
Common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards amounted to 3.4 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 0.3 million shares and 0.7 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, primarily related to options with exercise prices above the average market price of our common shares (i.e., “underwater” options), because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The difference between the remaining 3.1 million shares and 2.7 million shares assumed issued and the year1.0 million shares and 0.7 million shares assumed purchased with potential proceeds for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, operating losses generatedSeptember 30, 2023, respectively, were included in the U.S. resulted in a decreasedenominator of the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation.
Common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards amounted to 3.9 million shares and 4.1 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 1.1 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, primarily related to options with exercise prices above the average market price of our common shares (i.e., “underwater” options), because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Convertible Notes
Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the point that would resultconversion of outstanding Convertible Notes were included in a net U.S. deferred tax asset atthe computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of TimkenSteel’s recent operating performanceoutstanding Convertible Notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as these shares would be anti-dilutive. Additionally, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding Convertible Notes were included in the U.S. and current industry conditions, the Company assessed, based upon all available evidence, and concluded that it was more likely than not that it would not realize its U.S. deferred tax assets. As a result, in the fourth quartercomputation of 2016, the Company recorded full valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred tax asset of $15.6 million. Going forward, the need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will cause variability in the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company will maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries until sufficient positive evidence exists to conclude that a valuation allowance is not necessary. The increase in the effective tax ratediluted earnings (loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 as these shares would be dilutive.
In the first quarter of 2023, TimkenSteel repurchased $7.5 million of outstanding principal related to the Convertible Notes. There were no repurchases related to the Convertible Notes during the second or third quarters of 2023. These repurchases of Convertible Notes reduced weighted average diluted shares outstanding by approximately 1.0 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Refer to “Note 10 – Financing Arrangements” for additional information on the Convertible Notes.
During the first half of 2022, TimkenSteel repurchased $25.2 million of outstanding principal related to the Convertible Notes. There were no repurchases related to the Convertible Notes during the third quarter of 2022. These repurchases of Convertible Notes reduced weighted average diluted shares outstanding by 2.0 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Refer to “Note 10 – Financing Arrangements” for additional information on the Convertible Notes.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2025
The principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 upon issuance was $46.0 million. Transaction costs related to the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 incurred upon issuance were $1.5 million. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 mature on December 1, 2025. The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are convertible at the option of holders in certain circumstances and during certain periods into the Company’s common shares, cash, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election.
The Indenture for the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 provides that notes will become convertible during a quarter when the share price for 20 trading days during the final 30 trading days of the immediately preceding quarter was greater than 130% of the conversion price. This criterion was met during the third quarter of 2023 and as such the notes can be converted at the option of the holders beginning October 1 through December 31, 2023. Whether the notes will be convertible following such period will depend on if this criterion, or another conversion condition, is met in the future. As such, the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are classified as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023. This criterion was also met as of December 31, 2022. To date, no holders have elected to convert their notes during any optional conversion periods.
For details regarding all conversion mechanics and methods of settlement, refer to the Indenture for the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 filed as an exhibit to a discreteForm 8-K on December 15, 2020 and incorporated by reference in our most recent 10-K filing.

Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 was approximately $37.0 million and $53.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025, which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting guidance, is based on a valuation model primarily using observable market inputs and requires a recurring fair value measurement on a quarterly basis.
TimkenSteel’s Credit Facility is variable-rate debt. As such, any outstanding carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates. This valuation falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Interest income primarily relates to interest earned on cash invested in a money market fund and deposits with financial institutions. The carrying value, which approximates the fair value, of the Company’s money market investment was $96.2 million as of September 30, 2023. The money market fund is a cash equivalent and is included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fund consists of highly liquid investments with an average maturity of three months or less and falls within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting guidance. Additionally as of September 30, 2023, the Company had $118.5 million of cash held in other accounts which generate interest income at a rate similar to the money market fund.

Treasury Shares
On December 20, 2021, TimkenSteel announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common shares. The share repurchase program is intended to return capital to shareholders while also offsetting dilution from annual equity compensation awards. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any dollar amount or number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice. On November 2, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $75.0 million share repurchase program. This authorization reflects the continued confidence of the Board and senior leadership in the Company’s ability to generate sustainable through-cycle profitability while maintaining a strong balance sheet and cash flow.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $7.7 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $21.82 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $28.5 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $18.81 per share. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a balance of $44.5 million remaining on its authorized share repurchase program.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 1.3 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $19.7 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $15.72 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 1.9 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $32.4 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $17.42 per share.
In October 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $1.9 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $20.53 per share. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had $42.6 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program.
Note11-Retirement and Postretirement Plans
Plan Amendments and Updates
Bargaining Plan
On October 29, 2021, the United Steelworkers ("USW") Local 1123 voted to ratify a new four-year contract (the “Contract”). The Contract is in effect until September 27, 2025 and resulted in several changes to the Bargaining Plan which increased the pension liability by $14.2 million in 2021. These plan amendments were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in 2021 and began to be amortized as part of the pension net periodic benefit cost in the first quarter of 2017.2022. The primary change that drove the increase in the pension liability was the addition of a full lump sum form of payment for participants commencing benefits on or after January 1, 2022. In addition, the plan is now closed to new entrants effective January 1, 2022.
The timing and amount of future required pension contributions is significantly affected by asset returns and actuarial assumptions. Based on the results of the January 1, 2023 actuarial funding valuation, the company estimates required Bargaining Plan contributions of approximately $40 million in 2024. Required future pension contribution timing and amounts are subject to significant change based on future investment performance, Company estimates and actuarial assumptions, as well as current funding laws.
Salaried Plan
During the fourth quarter of 2021, termination of the Salaried Plan was approved by the TimkenSteel Board of Directors. Participants were notified in January 2022 and the plan was terminated effective March 31, 2022, subject to regulatory approval, which remains outstanding. The purchase of an irrevocable annuity contract from an insurance company is expected to occur in 2024, after which time the insurance company selected will be responsible for all participant benefit payments.

The Bargaining Plan, Salaried Plan, and Supplemental Plan have a provision that permits employees to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum upon retirement. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize settlements during the quarter in which it is projected that the costs of all settlements during the year will be greater than the sum of the service cost and interest cost components.
In the first quarter of 2023, the cumulative cost of all lump sum payments was projected to exceed the sum of the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the Salaried Plan. As a result, the Company completed a full remeasurement of its pension obligations and plan assets associated with the Salaried Plan during each quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed a full remeasurement of its pension obligations and plan assets associated with the Supplemental Plan. No remeasurement was made in the second and third quarters of 2022 related to the Supplemental Plan, as no further lump sum payments were made. The Salaried Plan's pension obligations and plan assets were remeasured during each quarter of 2022. We also completed a full remeasurement of the Bargaining Plan's pension obligations and plan assets during the second and third quarters of 2022.
Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023the Board of Directors granted 383,519 time-based restricted stock units and 211,639 performance-based restricted stock units, which relates to the annual grant to our employees and grants to the Board of Directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022the Board of Directors granted 339,453 time-based restricted stock units and 178,467 performance-based restricted stock units, which relates to the annual grant to our employees and Board of Directors.
Time-based restricted stock units are issued with the fair value equal to the closing market price of TimkenSteel common shares on the date of grant. These restricted stock units do not have any performance conditions for vesting. Expense is recognized over the service period, adjusted for any forfeitures that occur during the vesting period. The weighted average fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $18.51 per share.
Performance-based restricted stock units issued in 2023 vest based on achievement of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) metric. The TSR metric is considered a market condition, which requires TimkenSteel to reflect it in the fair value on grant date using an advanced option-pricing model. The fair value of each performance share was therefore determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model, a generally accepted lattice pricing model under ASC 718 – Stock-based Compensation. The Monte Carlo valuation model, among other factors, uses commonly-accepted economic theory underlying all valuation models, estimates fair value using simulations of future share prices based on stock price behavior and considers the correlation of peer company returns in determining fair value. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $23.13 per share.
TimkenSteel recognized stock-based compensation expense of $3.0 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.2 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Future stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested portion of all awards is approximately $15.1 million. The future expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods through 2026.

Note14–Contingencies
TimkenSteel has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business, such as environmental claims, product warranty claims, employee-related matters, and other litigation. Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires management’s estimate and judgment regarding risk exposure and ultimate liability or realization. These loss reserves are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made to reflect the most recent facts and circumstances. Accruals related to environmental claims represent management’s best estimate of the fees and costs associated with these claims. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of such claims, management believes that their ultimate dispositions should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. As of September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, TimkenSteel had a $0.7$0.9 million and $0.2a $1.1 million contingency reserve, respectively, related to loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
(dollars in millions, except per share data)
Business Overview
We manufacture alloy steel, as well as carbon and micro-alloy steel, with an annual melt capacity of approximately 2 million tons and shipment capacity of 1.5 million tons.using electric arc furnace ("EAF") technology. Our portfolio includes special bar quality (SBQ)(“SBQ”) bars, seamless mechanical tubing (tubes) and value-add solutions,(“tubes”), manufactured components such as precision steel components. In addition,components, and billets. Additionally, we supply machining and thermal treatment services, as well as manage raw material recycling programs, which are used internally as a feeder system for our melt operations.operations and allow us to sell scrap not used in our operations to third parties. Our products and servicessolutions are used in a diverse range of demanding applications in the following market sectors: oil and gas; oil country tubular goods (OCTG); automotive; industrial equipment; mining; construction; rail; aerospace and defense; heavy truck; agriculture; power generation; automotive; and power generation.
SBQ steel is made to restrictive chemical compositions and high internal purity levels and is used in critical mechanical applications. We make these products from nearly 100% recycled steel, using our expertise in raw materials to create customhigh-quality steel products with a competitive cost structure similar to that of a high-volume producer.products. We focus on creating tailored products and services for our customers’ most demanding applications.respective end-market sectors. Our engineers are experts in both materials and applications, so we can work closely with each customer to deliver flexible solutions related to our products as well as to their applications and supply chains. We believe our unique operating model and production assets give us a competitive advantage in our industry.
The SBQ barsbar, tube, and tubesbillet production processes take place at our Canton, Ohio manufacturing location. This location accounts for all of the SBQ bars, and seamless mechanical tubes and billets we produce and includes three manufacturing facilities: the Faircrest, Harrison, and Gambrinus facilities. Our value-add solutions production processes takeof manufactured components takes place at threetwo downstream manufacturing facilities: TimkenSteel Material Services (Houston, TX), Tryon Peak (Columbus, NC),North Carolina) and St. Clair (Eaton, OH)Ohio). Many of the production processes are integrated, and the manufacturing facilities produce products that are sold in all of our market sectors. As a result, investments in our facilities and resource allocation decisions affecting our operations are designed to benefit the overall business, not any specific aspect of the business.
During the second half of 2022, the Faircrest melt shop experienced unplanned operational downtime. TimkenSteel recognized insurance recoveries of $11.3 million related to the unplanned downtime in the first half of 2023, of which $9.8 million was recorded during the first quarter and $1.5 million was recorded in the second quarter. Additional amounts, if any, and timing of potential recoveries are uncertain at this time. Refer to “Note 6 - Other (Income) Expense, net” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. For further information related to previous insurance recoveries, refer to "Note 7 - Other (Income) Expense, net" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The collective bargaining agreement betweenlead time for our products varies based on product type and specifications. As of the date of this filing, our lead times for bar products currently extend to mid-December 2023 and tube product lead times extend into February 2024.
We conduct our business activities and report financial results as one business segment. The presentation of financial results as one reportable segment is consistent with the way we operate our business and is consistent with the manner in which the CODM evaluates performance and makes resource and operating decisions for the business as described above. Furthermore, the Company andnotes that monitoring financial results as one reportable segment helps the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 1123, which had an expiration date of September 25, 2017 has been extended, and we remain in discussionsCODM manage costs on a consolidated basis, consistent with USW representatives regarding a new collective bargaining agreement. We continue to operate uninterrupted under the terms of the existing collective bargaining agreement.
Impact of Raw Material Prices and LIFO
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to the volatility of the costs of our raw materials. For example, the impact of global conflicts could exacerbate inflationary pressures throughout the global economy and lead to potential market disruptions, such as significant volatility in commodity prices and supply chain disruptions. Although our business has not been materially impacted by current conflicts to date, it is difficult to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers, will be impacted in the future.
Whenever possible, we manage our exposure to commodity risks primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements that enable us to establish the purchase prices for certain inputs that are used in our manufacturing process. We also utilize a raw material and natural gas surcharge mechanism thatwhen pricing products to our customers.
There are two components of our raw material surcharge. One component is related to the scrap metal content in our finished product and is based on the published No. 1 busheling scrap index. The other component is related to alloy material content in our finished product and is based on published prices for nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, chromium, and manganese. The natural gas surcharge is only applicable when the price of natural gas exceeds a certain dollar amount per MMBtu.
Our surcharge mechanisms are designed to mitigate the impact of increases or decreases in raw material costs, although generally with a lag effect. This timing effect can result in raw material spread whereby costs can be over- or under-recovered in certain periods. While the
20
surcharge generally protects gross profit, it has the effect of diluting gross margin as a percent of sales.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
The charts below present net sales and shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $354.2 million, an increase of $37.4 million, or 11.8% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by favorable price/mix and higher volumes, partially offset by unfavorable surcharges. Favorable price/mix of $28.1 million was due to higher base prices across all end-market sectors. Higher volumes of 17.3 thousand ship tons resulted in a net sales increase of $22.7 million. The decrease in surcharges of $13.4 million was primarily due to a decrease in surcharge revenue per ton. Excluding surcharges, net sales increased $50.8 million or 23.4%. Shipments and net sales in the prior year were also negatively impacted by the availability of inventory as a result of unplanned melt shop downtime in the third quarter of 2022.
The charts below present net sales and shipments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $1,034.3 million, a decrease of $50.2 million, or 4.6% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net sales was driven by lower surcharges and volumes, partially offset by favorable price/mix. Lower market prices for scrap drove the unfavorable surcharges of $87.3 million, partially offset by higher alloy prices per ton. Lower volumes of 37.6 thousand ship tons resulted in a net sales decrease of $52.1 million, partially driven by the availability of finished

goods inventory for shipment. Favorable price/mix of our inventory utilizing$89.2 million was primarily due to higher base prices across all end-market sectors. Excluding surcharges, net sales increased $37.1 million or 5.1%.
Gross Profit
The chart below presents the LIFO inventory valuation method. Changesdrivers of the gross profit variance from the three months ended September 30, 2022 to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $45.4 million, or 810.7% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by favorable price/mix, lower manufacturing costs, higher volumes and favorable raw material spread. Favorable price/mix was due to higher base prices across all end-market sectors. Lower manufacturing costs were primarily driven by increased fixed cost leverage on higher production given the unplanned melt shop downtime in the third quarter of 2022. Raw material spread was favorable due to higher scrap and alloy prices.
22
The chart below presents the drivers of the gross profit variance from the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $1.9 million, or 1.3% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by higher manufacturing costs, lower volume and unfavorable raw material spread, partially offset by favorable price/mix. Higher plant spend resulted in unfavorable manufacturing costs. The industrial and mobile end-market sectors were unfavorably impacted by lower volume, partially offset by favorable price/mix. Raw material spread was unfavorable due to lower scrap prices, partially offset by higher alloy prices.
23
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The charts below present selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $4.3 million, or 26.5%, compared with the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher variable compensation expense and professional services, primarily driven by the ongoing information technology transformation project.
SG&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $5.5 million, or 9.8% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation and professional services, primarily driven by the ongoing information technology transformation project.
24
Interest (Income) Expense, net
Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, compared with net interest income of $0.2 million and net interest expense of $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The change was due to interest earned on cash invested in a money market fund and in other accounts which generate interest income at a rate similar to the money market fund during 2023, as well as a reduction in average outstanding borrowings compared to the same period in 2022. Refer to “Note 10 - Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Non-service related pension and other postretirement benefit income, for all years, consists primarily of the interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization components of net periodic cost.
The TimkenSteel Corporation Bargaining Unit Pension Plan ("Bargaining Plan"), the TimkenSteel Corporation Retirement Plan (“Salaried Plan”), and the Supplemental Pension Plan of TimkenSteel Corporation ("Supplemental Plan") each have a provision that permits employees to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum upon retirement. In the first quarter of 2023, the cumulative cost of raw materialsall lump sum payments was projected to exceed the sum of the service costs and production activities areinterest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the Salaried Plan. As a result, the Company completed a full remeasurement of its pension obligations and plan assets associated with the Salaried Plan during each quarter of 2023.
A gain of $1.0 million from the remeasurement of the Salaried Plan was recognized in cost of products soldfor the three months ended September 30, 2023. The gain for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a $6.5 million decrease in the current period even thoughliability mainly driven by an increase in the discount rate, partially offset by $5.5 million of investment losses on plan assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the loss of $1.7 million was primarily related to investment losses on plan assets of $5.6 million and lump sum basis losses of $1.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in the pension liability of $5.2 million due to an increase in the discount rate.
A net loss of $4.8 million from the remeasurement of these materialsbenefit plans was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This loss was due to $73.6 million of investment losses on plan assets and other costs may have been incurredlump sum basis losses, partially offset by a gain of $68.8 million primarily driven by a decrease in different periodsthe pension liability due to an increase in discount rate.
A net gain of $37.2 million from the remeasurement of these benefit plans was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This gain was driven by a $299.9 million decrease in the pension liability primarily due to an increase in discount rate, partially offset by a loss of $262.7 million driven by investment losses on plan assets and lump sum basis losses.

For more details on the aforementioned remeasurements, refer to “Note 11 - Retirement and Postretirement Plans.”
During the second half of 2022, the Faircrest melt shop experienced unplanned operational downtime. TimkenSteel recognized insurance recoveries of $11.3 million related to the unplanned downtime in the first half of 2023, of which $9.8 million was recorded during the first quarter and $1.5 million was recorded in the second quarter. Additional amounts, if any, and timing of potential recoveries are uncertain at significantly different valuesthis time. For further information related to previous insurance recoveries, refer to "Note 7 - Other (Income) Expense, net" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net Sales, Excluding Surcharges
The table above presentstables below present net sales by end-market sector, adjusted to exclude raw material surcharges, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP.GAAP”). We believe presenting net sales by end-market sector, both on a gross basis and on a per ton basis, adjusted to exclude raw material and natural gas surcharges, provides additional insight into key drivers of net sales such as base price and product mix.
When surcharges are included in a customer agreement and are applicable (i.e., reach the threshold amount), based on the terms outlined in the respective agreement, surcharges are then included as separate line items on a customer’s invoice. These additional surcharge line items adjust base prices to match cost fluctuations due to highermarket conditions. Each month, the company will post on the surcharges page of its external website, as well as our customer portal, the scrap, alloy, and natural gas surcharges that will be applied (as a separate line item) to invoices dated in the following month (based upon shipment volumes in the following month). All surcharges invoiced are included in GAAP net sales.

Convertible Notes
In May 2016, wethe Company issued $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2021, plus an additional $11.3 million principal amount to cover over-allotments.
In December 2020, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements with a limited number of holders of the Company’s then outstanding Convertible Senior Notes due 2021. Pursuant to the exchange agreements, the Company exchanged $46.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 for $46.0 million aggregate principal amount of its new Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.
The remaining Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 matured on June 1, 2021 and were settled with a combination of cash of $38.9 million and 0.1 million shares, as most noteholders exercised their conversion option prior to maturity. The final cash payment for interest was also made to noteholders on June 1, 2021 in the amount of $1.2 million.
The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 bear cash interest at a rate of 6.0% per year, payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1, beginning on DecemberJune 1, 2016.2021. The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 will mature on JuneDecember 1, 2021,2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The net proceeds received from the offering were $83.2amount of this exchange was $44.5 million, after deducting the initial underwriters’ discount and fees and paying other transaction costs.
The Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 are convertible at the offering expenses payable. We usedoption of holders in certain circumstances and during certain periods into the net proceeds to repayCompany’s common shares, cash, or a portioncombination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Indenture for the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 provides that notes will become convertible during a quarter when the share price for 20 trading days during the final 30 trading days of the amounts outstanding under our Amended Credit Agreement.
In the first quarter of 2023, TimkenSteel repurchased a total of $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025. Total cash paid to noteholders was $18.7 million. A loss on extinguishment of debt was recognized of $11.4 million, including a charge of $0.2 million for unamortized debt issuance costs related to the portion of debt extinguished, as well as the related transaction costs. There were no repurchases related to the Convertible Notes during the second or third quarters of 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the principal balance on the Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 is $13.3 million.
In the first half of 2022, TimkenSteel repurchased a total of $25.2 million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025. Total cash paid to noteholders was $67.6 million. A loss on extinguishment of debt was recognized of $43.0 million, including a charge of $0.6 million, for unamortized debt issuance costs related to the portion of debt extinguished, as well as the related transaction costs. There were no repurchases related to the Convertible Notes during the third quarter of 2022.
For additional details regarding the Convertible Notes please refer to “Note 14 - Financing Arrangements” in our then-existing revolving credit facility, due to a steeper-than-expected drop in industrial demand driven by depressed commodity prices. Accordingly,the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 21, 2015, we amended and restated our existing revolving credit facility, effectively converting it from a cash flow-based facility to an asset-based facility in order to eliminate various financial covenants that are customary in cash flow-based facilities, including the interest coverage ratio covenant.

(1) As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2021, TimkenSteel had less than $400 million in collateral assets to borrow against.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Amended Credit Agreement. We currently expect that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, expected cash flows from operations and borrowings available under the Amended Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet liquidity needs; however, these plans rely on certain underlying assumptions and estimates that may differ from actual results. Such assumptions include growing market demand and maintaining the benefits to our operating results and cash flows driven by the restructuring and cost reduction activities taken during 2015 that streamlined our organizational structure, lowered operating costs and increased liquidity.
To the extent our liquidity needs prove to be greater than expected or cash generated from operations areis less than anticipated, and cash on hand or credit availability is insufficient, we would seek additional financing to provide additional liquidity. We regularly evaluate our potential access to the equity and debt capital markets as sources of liquidity and we believe that additional financing would likely be available if necessary, although we can make no assurance as to the form or terms of any such financing.
We would also consider additional cost reductions and further reductions of capital expenditures. Regardless, we will continue to evaluate additional financing or may seekthe best use of our liquidity which would allow us to refinanceinvest in profitable growth, maintain a strong balance sheet, and return capital to shareholders. We are currently anticipating capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million in 2023.
Based on the results of the January 1, 2023 actuarial funding valuation, the company estimates required Bargaining Plan contributions of approximately $40 million in 2024.
In the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased a total of $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025. In addition to reducing outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement to provide us with additional flexibility and liquidity. Any additional financing beyond that incurred to refinance existing debt would increase our overall debt and could increasegenerating annual interest expense. For additional discussion regarding risk factors related to our business and our debt, see Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-Ksavings of $0.5 million, the repurchases of convertible notes reduced weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2016.
In the first half of 2022, we repurchased a total of $25.2 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Senior Notes Due 2025. In addition to reducing outstanding debt and generating annual interest savings of $1.5 million, the repurchases of convertible notes reduced weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2022 by 2.3 million shares and, on a go-forward basis, reduced diluted shares outstanding by 3.2 million shares.
For additional detailsthe three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.4 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $7.7 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $21.82 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $28.5 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $18.81 per share. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a balance of $44.5 million remaining on its authorized share repurchase program.
30
In October 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $1.9 million, which equates to an average repurchase price of $20.53 per share. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had $42.6 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
Due to a provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, the Company was able to defer the employer share of Social Security payroll taxes for a specified time during 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company deferred $6.4 million in cash payments and recorded reserves for such deferred payroll taxes in salaries, wages and benefits on the Amended Credit AgreementConsolidated Balance Sheets, to be paid in two equal installments. The first installment in the amount of $3.2 million was paid during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the Convertible Notes, please refer to Note 6 - Financing Arrangementssecond installment of $3.2 million was paid during the fourth quarter of 2022.
The CARES Act also provided for an employee retention credit (“Employee Retention Credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Company qualified for the tax credit in the Notessecond and third quarters of 2020 and accrued a benefit of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to Unauditedthe Employee Retention Credit in other (income) expense, net on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our borrowings include both fixed and variable-rate debt. The variablevariable-rate debt consists principally of borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement. We are exposed to the risk of rising interest rates to the extent we fund our operations with these variable-rate borrowings. As of September 30, 2017,2023, we have $164.4$13.1 million of aggregate debt outstanding. None of our outstanding debt as of which $95.2 million consists of debt withSeptember 30, 2023 has variable interest rates. Based on the amount of debt with variable-rate interest outstanding,rates, thus a 1% rise in interest rates would result in an increase innot impact our interest expense of approximately $1 million annually, with a corresponding increaseat this point in loss before income taxes of the same amount.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies may impact our earnings. Geographically, our sales are primarily made to customers in the United States. Currency fluctuations could impact us to the extent they impact the currency or the price of raw materials in foreign countries in which our competitors operate or have significant sales.
Commodity Price Risk
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations, primarily related to our purchases of raw materials and energy, principally scrap steel, other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, natural gas and electricity. Additionally, the global conflicts could also exacerbate inflationary pressures throughout the global economy and lead to potential market disruptions, such as significant volatility in commodity prices and supply chain disruptions. Although our business has not been materially impacted by current conflicts to date, it is difficult to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers, will be impacted in the future.
Whenever possible, we manage our exposure to commodity risks primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements that enable us to establish the purchase prices for certain inputs that are used in our manufacturing business. We utilize a raw material surcharge as a component of pricing steel to pass through the cost increases of scrap, alloys and other raw materials, as well as natural gas. From time to time, we may use derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to commodity price risk related to natural gas and electricity purchases.risk. In periods of stable demand for our products, the surcharge mechanism has worked effectively to reduce the normal time lag in passing through higher raw material costs so that we can maintain our gross margins. When demand and cost of raw materials isare lower, however, the surcharge impacts sales prices to a lesser extent.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
