TimkenSteel Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollars in millions, except per share data)


Note1-Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by TimkenSteel Corporation (the Company or TimkenSteel) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. For further information, refer to TimkenSteel’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Customer Receivables

The Company’s accounts receivables arise from sales to customers across all end markets.  Historically, TimkenSteel’s allowance for doubtful accounts write-offs have been immaterial.  The allowance for doubtful account reserve has been established using qualitative and quantitative methods.  In general, account balances greater than one year of age or sent to third party collection are fully reserved.  Account balances for customers that are viewed as higher risk are also analyzed for a reserve.  In addition to these methods, the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2020 was adjusted for forward looking uncollectible balances, primarily in the energy and automotive end markets. The amount recorded was based on the Company’s assessment of the risk presented to customers in these end markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as geo-political factors facing the energy end market. At this time, the full impact of COVID-19 is difficult to predict due to uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and the timeline for economic activities to fully recover.

Change in Accounting Principle

During the fourth quarter of 2019, TimkenSteel elected to change its method for valuing its inventories that previously used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company believes that the FIFO method is preferable as it improves comparability with its peers, more closely resembles the physical flow of its inventory and aligns with how the Company internally manages the business. The effects of the change in accounting principle from LIFO to FIFO were retrospectively applied. As a result of the retrospective application of the change in accounting principle, certain financial statement line items in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were adjusted as necessary. For further information, refer to TimkenSteel’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The following tables reflect the impact to the financial statement line items as a result of the change in accounting principle for the prior periods presented in the accompanying financial statements (dollars in millions, except per share data):

Note2-Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted the following Accounting Standard Updates (ASU) in the first quarter of 2019,2020, all of which were effective as of January 1, 2019.2020, except ASU 2020-04, which became effective upon issuance on March 12, 2020. The adoption of these standards had nodid not have a material impact on the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements or the related Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Standards AdoptedDescription
ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment AccountingThe standard provides an expanded scope of Topic 718, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees.
ASU 2018-02, Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive IncomeThe standard permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings.
ASU 2017-11, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity; Derivatives and HedgingThe standard eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topics 842),” which requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on the balance sheet for not only finance (previously capital) leases but also operating leases. The standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective transition approach without adjusting comparative periods.
The Company elected certain of the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard as follows:
A package of practical expedients to not reassess:

Standards Adopted

Whether a contract is or contains a lease

Description

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

Lease classification

The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.

Initial direct costs
A practical expedient to not reassess certain land easements

The Company has implemented internal controls and lease accounting software to enable the quantification of the expected impact on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and to facilitate the calculations of the related accounting entries and disclosures. Adoption of the lease standard resulted in recognition of right-to-use assets and lease liabilities of $16.0 million as of January 1, 2019. Adoption of the lease standard had no impact on the Company’s debt-covenant compliance under its current agreements. Also, the standard did not materially affect the Company’s results of operations or its cash flows. Refer to “Note 11 - Leases” for additional information.

Note3-Revenue Recognition

TimkenSteel recognizes revenue from contracts at a point in time when it has satisfied its performance obligation and the customer obtains control of the goods, at the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for those goods. The Company receives and acknowledges purchase orders from its customers which define the quantity, pricing, payment and other applicable terms and conditions. In some cases, the Company receives a blanket purchase order from its customer, which includes pricing, payment and other terms and conditions. Quantities are defined at the time the customer issues periodic releases against the blanket purchase order. Certain contracts contain variable consideration, which primarily consists of rebates that are accounted for in net sales and accrued based on the estimated probability of the requirements being met. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales and related costs are included in costs of products sold in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note4-Restructuring Charges

During 2019 and the second quarterfirst half of 2019,2020, TimkenSteel made organizational changes to enhance profitable and sustainable growth. These company-wide actions included the restructuring of its commercialbusiness support functions, the reduction of management layers throughout the organization, the closure of the TimkenSteel Material Services (TMS) facility in Houston, Texas and technology organizationsother actions to drive innovation and focus onfurther improve the key growth areas identified byCompany’s overall cost structure. Through these restructuring efforts, to date the Company such as value-added components, energy products and government business. Given these and other restructuring efforts, the Company implementedhas eliminated approximately 55180 salaried position eliminationspositions and recognized restructuring charges of $3.6$9.5 million, primarily consisting of severance and employee-related benefits. Approximately 20 of these positions were eliminated in the first half of 2020. TimkenSteel recorded reserves for such restructuring charges as other current liabilities on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The reserve balance at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 is expected to be substantially used in the next sixtwelve months.

Note 5 - Disposition of Non-Core Assets

During the first quarter of 2020, management completed its previously announced plan to close the Company’s TMS facility in Houston, and initiated a plan to market and sell the assets at the facility.  Accelerated depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million was recorded in the first quarter to reduce the net book value of the machinery and equipment to its expected fair value.  Subsequent to the closure, certain assets were sold and a gain on sale of $1.0 million and $4.2 million was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.  At June 30, 2020, the remaining associated machinery and equipment, with a net book value of $2.1 million, was classified as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The land and buildings associated with TMS were not classified as held for sale, as they were not considered available for immediate sale in their present condition. While the Company began selling the inventory associated with TMS in the first quarter of 2020 at prices that were in line with the net realizable value of the inventory established in the fourth quarter of 2019, excess inventory related to our Energy end-market sector resulted in an additional reserve of approximately $3.1 million being recorded in the second quarter of 2020. The excess inventory is the result of continued weakness in this end-market sector, as well as recent closures of several distributors that were holding considerable amounts of similar inventory.

Non-service benefit income is derived from the Company’s pension and other postretirement plans. The Company’s expected return on assets has exceeded the interest cost component, resulting in income for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018.

2019.

The TimkenSteel Corporation Retirement Plan (Salaried Plan) has a provision that permits employees to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum. In the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, the cumulative cost of all lump sum payments was projected to exceed the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the Salaried Plan. As a result, the Company amended its postretirement benefit plan. This amendment reduced the postretirement liability and therefore required the Company to performcompleted a full remeasurement of its postretirementpension obligations and plan assets associated with the Salaried Plan as of AprilJune 30, 2019. The reduction2020 and March 31, 2020, which resulted in a non-cash (gain) loss from remeasurement of ($1.9) million and $7.6 million for the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) was recognized in Other Comprehensive Incomethree and subsequently amortized as an offset to postretirement benefit cost.six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. For more details on the remeasurement, refer to “Note 1311 - Retirement and Postretirement Plans.”

Note 6 7-Income Tax Provision

TimkenSteel’s provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the appropriate estimated annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items, including interest on prior-year tax liabilities, are recorded during the periods in which they occur.

Intraperiod tax allocation rules require the allocation of income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of comprehensive income. In periods in which the Company has a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of comprehensive income, the Company must consider that income in determining the amount of tax benefit that results from a loss in continuing operations and that will be allocated to continuing operations. As a result of the intraperiod tax allocation rules, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.2 million within other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

In light of TimkenSteel’s recent operating performance in the U.S. and current industry conditions, the Company assessed its U.S. deferred tax assets and concluded, based upon all available evidence, that it was more likely than not that it would not realize the assets. As a result, the Company maintains 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. 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 majority of TimkenSteel’s income taxes are derived from foreign operations.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, an economic stimulus package intended to provide support, principally in the form of tax benefits, to companies and individuals negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the majority of the provisions included in the CARES Act will not immediately benefit the Company from a cash tax perspective due to its significant net operating losses, the Company has taken advantage of the deferral of the employer share (6.2% of employee wages) of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise have been owed from the date of enactment of the legislation through December 31, 2020, as afforded by the Act. Through June 30, 2020, the Company has deferred $2.0 million in cash payments, and expects additional deferred cash payments of approximately $4 million to $5 million for the remainder of 2020, with total deferred amounts to be paid in 2 equal installments at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating its eligibility and potential benefit related to the Employee Retention Credit.

Note 78 - 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 discount) 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 stock is excluded from the denominator in calculating both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 2019 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 20182019 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with approximately 74% valued by the last in, first out (LIFO) method, and the remaining inventories, including manufacturing supplies inventory as well as international (outside the United States) inventories, valued by the first-in, first-out, average cost or specific identification methods.
An actual valuation of the inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
TimkenSteel projects its LIFO reserve will decrease for the year ending December 31, 2019 due to lower anticipated raw material costs, manufacturing costs and quantities.

Note 11 - Leases
The Company has operating leases for office space, warehouses, land, machinery and equipment, vehicles and certain information technology equipment. These leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to six years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for one or more years. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has no financing leases. The weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases as of September 30, 2019 was 2.8 years.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842, the Company combines lease and non-lease components. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company recorded lease cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as follows:

When available, the rate implicit in the lease is used to discount lease payments to present value; however, the Company’s leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments is estimated using market-based information available at lease commencement. The weighted average discount rate used to measure our operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 was 4.7%.

The initial value of the principal amount recorded as a liability at the date of issuance was $66.9 million, using an effective interest rate of 12.0%. The remaining $19.4 million of principal amount was allocated to the conversion feature and recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity at the date of issuance. This amount represents a discount to the debt to be amortized through interest expense using the effective interest method through the maturity of the Convertible Notes.

Transaction costs were allocated to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component of $2.4 million are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes, and transaction costs attributable to the equity component of $0.7 million are included in shareholders’ equity.
  The Convertible Notes mature on June 1, 2021, and accordingly are classified as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020.

Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $81.1$72.6 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The fair value of the Convertible Notes, which falls within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements, is based on the last price traded in September 2019.

June 2020.

TimkenSteel’s Credit Agreement is variable-rate debt. As such, the 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.

The Salaried Plan has a provision that permits employees to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum. In the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, the cumulative cost of all lump sum payments was projected to exceed the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the Salaried Plan. As a result, the Company amended its postretirement benefit plan relating to moving Medicare-eligible union retirees to an individual plan on a Medicare healthcare exchange. This amendment reduced the postretirement liability by $70.2 million. This amendment required the Company to performcompleted a full remeasurement of its postretirementpension obligations and plan assets associated with the Salaried Plan as of AprilJune 30, 2019.2020 and March 31, 2020, which resulted in a non-cash (gain) loss from remeasurement of ($1.9) million and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Board of Directors granted 931,244 time-vested restricted stock units, 143,280 performance-vested restricted stock units, and 511,020 stock options.  

Time-vested 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 should occur during the vesting period. The $70.2 million reductionweighted average fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $4.24 per share.The Board of Directors were granted their annual time-vested restricted stock units during the second quarter totalling 332,325 shares.

Performance-vested restricted stock units issued in 2020 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 APBO is recognizedfair 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 Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently amortized as an offset to postretirement benefit cost over a period of 12 years (average remaining service period). In addition to the reductiondetermining fair value. The weighted average fair value of the APBO,performance-vested restricted stock units granted during the Company recognized a net remeasurement loss of $4.4 millionsix months ended June 30, 2020 was $5.23 per share. There were 0 performance-vested restricted stock units granted in the second quarter of 2019 related2020.

Stock options are issued with an exercise price equal to the plan amendment.

TimkenSteel common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates assumptions regarding the expected volatility, the expected option life, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. The weighted average exercise price and weighted average fair value of the stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $5.26 per share and $2.23 per share, respectively. There were 0 stock option grants in the second quarter of 2020.

TimkenSteel recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million and $3.1 for the same periods in 2019, respectively. Future stock-based compensation expense regarding the unvested portion of all awards is approximately $6.7 million. The future expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods through 2024.

The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 for the pension and postretirement liability adjustment was included in other income, net in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount deferred to accumulated other comprehensive income in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was a result of a plan amendment to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan. These accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) components are components of net periodic benefit cost. See “Note 13 - Retirement and Postretirement Plans” for additional information.

Note 15 - 14Contingencies

TimkenSteel has a number of loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business, such as environmental claims, product warranty claims, and 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, TimkenSteel had a $1.4$1.3 million and a $1.5 million contingency reserve, respectively, related to loss exposures incurred in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(dollars in millions, except per share data)

Business Overview

TimkenSteel Corporation (we, us, our, the Company or Timkensteel) manufactures

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 approximately 1.5 million tons. Our portfolio includes special bar quality (SBQ) bars, seamless mechanical tubing (tubes), value-addvalue-added solutions such as precision steel components, and billets. In addition, we supply machining and thermal treatment services and manage raw material recycling programs, which are used as a feeder system for our melt operations. Our products and services are used in a diverse range of demanding applications in the following market categories:sectors: automotive; oil and gas; industrial equipment; mining; construction; rail; defense; heavy truck; agriculture; power generation; and oil country tubular goods (OCTG); automotive; industrial equipment; mining; construction; rail; aerospace and defense; heavy truck; agriculture; and power generation.

Based on our knowledge of the steel industry, we believe we are the only focused SBQ steel producer in North America and have the largest SBQ steel large bar (6-inch diameter and greater) production capacity among North American steel producers. In addition, we are the only steel manufacturer able to produce rolled SBQ steel large bars up to 16-inches in diameter. .

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 all100% recycled steel, using our expertise in raw materials to create custom steel products. We focus on creating tailored products and services for our customers’ most demanding applications. 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 bar, tube, and billet production processes take place at our Canton, Ohio manufacturing location. This location accounts for all of the SBQ bars, seamless mechanical tubes and billets we produce and includes three manufacturing facilities: the Faircrest, Harrison, and Gambrinus facilities. Our value-addvalue-added solutions production processes take place at threetwo downstream manufacturing facilities: TimkenSteel Material Services (Houston, Texas), Tryon Peak (Columbus, North Carolina), and St. Clair (Eaton, 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.

In the first quarter of 2020, we closed our TimkenSteel Material Services (TMS) facility in Houston, Texas. See “Note 5 - Disposition of Non-Core Assets” in the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates performance and makes resource and operating decisions for the business as described above. Furthermore, the Company notes that monitoring financial results as one reportable segment helps the CODM manage costs on a consolidated basis, consistent with the integrated nature of our operations.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Company, employees, customers and supply chain. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations and financial results is uncertain and ultimately will depend on, among many other factors, the duration of the pandemic, further Federal and State government actions and the speed of economic recovery. We estimate the primary impact on our second quarter of 2020 results was lost sales of approximately $120 million, as compared to expectations established prior to the onset of the pandemic. The negative impact on the remainder of the year and beyond remains unknown but at a minimum, we expect customer demand in the COVID-19 environment to continue to be lower in the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the prior year third quarter, resulting in periodic production outages as the Company continues to balance production schedules with demand.

In response to the significant reduction in customer demand resulting from the COVID-19 crisis, the Company has taken additional actions to further reduce operating expenses, conserve cash and maximize liquidity, such as:

Reduced interim CEO and senior executives’ base salaries by 20 percent and other executives’ base salaries by 10 percent, effective May 1;

Reduced cash retainer for its board of directors by 20 percent beginning with the second-quarter 2020, and reduced the value of the board’s annual equity grant by 20 percent;

Suspended company’s 401(k) plan matching contributions for salaried employees, effective June 1;

Implemented unpaid rolling furloughs for approximately 90 percent of salaried employees, with an average 5 weeks of unpaid furloughs per employee, beginning in early April and continuing through July; and

Deferred Social Security payroll tax remittance as permitted by the CARES Act.

In total, the Company’s COVID-19 related actions preserved approximately $7 million in cash and reduced administrative expenses by approximately $5 million during the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the Company took the following operational actions:

Aggressively reduced production schedules at all plants to align operations with customer demand, resulting in the temporary layoff of manufacturing employees;

16


Table of Contents

Reduced planned 2020 capital expenditures to $15 million to $20 million, a $10 million to $15 million reduction from the original guidance.

Despite the negative impact on our business, these actions resulted in the Company having total liquidity of $251.9 million as of June 30, 2020. We believe this level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the Company’s needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company will continue to take actions such as those taken during the second quarter in order to preserve liquidity for the duration of this pandemic.

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. 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 utilize a raw material surcharge mechanism when pricing products to our customers, which is 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 surcharge generally protects gross profit, it has the effect of diluting gross margin as a percent of sales in a rising cost environment.

We value a majority of our inventory utilizing the LIFO inventory valuation method. Changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of products sold in the current period even though these materials and other costs may have been incurred in different periods at significantly different values due to the length of time of our production cycle. In periods of rising inventories and deflating raw material prices, the likely result will be a positive impact to net income. Conversely, in periods of rising inventories and increasing raw materials prices, the likely result will be a negative impact to net income.

The majority of the Company’s income tax expense is derived from foreign operations. The Company remains in a full valuation for the U.S. jurisdiction for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. Intraperiod tax allocation rules require the Company to allocate our provision for income taxes between continuing operations2020 and other categories of comprehensive income. In periods in which the Company has a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of comprehensive income, the Company must consider that income in determining the amount of tax benefit that results from a loss in continuing operations and that will be allocated to continuing operations. As a result of the intraperiod tax allocation rules, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million within other comprehensive income.

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 Credit Agreement.credit agreement.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, taking into account our view of automotive, industrial, energy, and automotiveenergy market demands for our products, our forecast for the remainder of 2019 and our 2020 operating and long-range plan, we believe that our cash balance as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, projected cash generated from operations, and borrowings available under the Amended Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations, including servicing our debt obligations, for at least the next twelve monthsmonths.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations and throughfinancial results is uncertain and ultimately will depend on, among many other factors, the maturity dateduration of the pandemic, further Federal and State government actions and the speed of economic recovery. While the negative impact on our Amended Credit Agreement.

third quarter, remainder of the year and beyond remains unknown, at a minimum, we expect customer demand in the COVID-19 environment continue to be lower in the third quarter of 2020 in comparison to the prior year third quarter. To the extent our liquidity needs prove to be greater than expected or cash generated from operations is 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 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 restructuring, changes in working capital management and further reductions of capital expenditures. Regardless, we will continue to evaluate additional financing or may seek to refinance 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 increase interest expense.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, an economic stimulus package intended to provide support, principally in the form of tax benefits and additional liquidity, to companies and individuals negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the majority of the provisions included in the CARES Act did not immediately benefit the Company from a cash tax perspective due to its significant net operating losses, the Company has taken advantage of the deferral of the employer share (6.2% of employee wages) of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise have been owed from the date of enactment of the legislation through December 31, 2020, as afforded by the Act. Through June 30, 2020, the Company deferred approximately $2 million of payroll taxes as permitted by the CARES Act. Payroll tax deferrals in the second half of 2020 are expected to total $4 million to $5 million, all of which will be paid in two equal installments at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating its eligibility and potential benefit related to the Employee Retention Credit.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 was $24.3$79.9 million compared to net cash used of $28.4$17.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $52.7$97.5 million was primarily due to lower cash used formanagement actions to improve working capital as well as pension and postretirement benefit payments, partially offset by lower accrued liabilities, primarily due to lower variable compensation.

The improvement in cash used for working capital between periods was due to inventories and accounts receivable, partially offset by accounts payable. The decrease in cash used for inventory was driven by the impact of declining scrap prices combined with a lower quantity of inventory on hand during the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the opposite trend during the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash provided by accounts receivable was primarily due to declining salescustomer demand and production levels in the first nine monthshalf of 2019, which resulted in collections exceeding billings,2020 as compared to increasing sales in the same period in the prior year. The increase in cash used for accounts payable was driven by lower raw material purchases and declining scrap prices during the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the impact of increasing raw material purchases and scrap prices during the same period in the prior year.

Net cash used by investing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 20182020 was $21.7$1.2 million, and $16.7as compared to net cash used of $12.3 million respectively.for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Cash used forby investing activities in the first half of 2020 primarily relates to capital investments in our manufacturing facilities.

Our business requires capital investments to maintainthe maintenance of machinery and equipment at our plants, partially offset by proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipmentequipment.

The Company expects its capital expenditures to remain competitivebe between $15 million and ensure we can implement strategic initiatives. Our construction$20 million in progress balance2020, a reduction from the previous outlook of a maximum of $25 million (made up of approximately $26 million as of September 30, 2019 includes: (a) approximately $10$6 million relating to growth initiatives (e.g. new product offerings, additional capacity and new capabilities) and continuous improvement projects; and (b) approximately $16 million relating primarily to routine capital costs to maintain the reliability, integrity and safety of our manufacturing equipment and facilities. In the next one to three years, we expect to spend approximately $40 million to complete existing ongoing projects (made up of approximately $34 million relating to additional growth initiatives and approximately $6 millionremainder related to continuous improvement).

The Company has no material capital expenditure plans or commitments beyond 2020 at this time.

Financing activities

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our borrowings include both fixed and variable-rate debt. The variable debt consists principally of borrowings under our 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we have $187.4$141.0 million of aggregate debt outstanding, of which $110.0$60.0 million consists of debt with variable interest rates. Based on the amount of debt with variable-rate interest outstanding, a 1% rise in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of $1.1$0.6 million annually.

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. 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 financial instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to price risk related to natural gas and electricity purchases. 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 are 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

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

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. The discussion of such risks and uncertainties may be found under Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 filed with the SEC. There

Risks Related to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic could have been noa material, changesadverse impact on our operations and financial results including cash flows and liquidity.

We continue to suchclosely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Company, customers, employees and supply chain. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our operations and financial results is uncertain and ultimately will depend on, among many other factors, the duration of the pandemic, further Federal and State government actions and the speed of economic recovery. The negative impact on our third quarter of 2020, remainder of the year and beyond remains unknown.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also may impact other risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. This impact could be to cause previously disclosed risks to occur or to increase the severity of the negative affect inherent in those other risk factors.
