“We finished the fiscal year with a solid fourth quarter in a challenging environment,” said William A. Wulfsohn, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our intense focus on continuous improvement allowed us to offset SAO variable production inflation on a cost per ton basis for the fourth consecutive year. Also, a great team effort in the continued integration of the Latrobe operation, which exceeded our targeted deal synergies by almost two times, helped contribute to the quarterly performance.
“In fiscal 2013 we took actions to further strengthen the foundation of Carpenter to better support future growth. We made significant investments that should enable us to grow profitably and, in the recently completed quarter, took steps to better align our cost structure with current market conditions which included a 3 percent reduction in our salaried workforce. Additionally, we enhanced our liquidity by driving positive free cash flow in the quarter and by expanding our revolving credit facility from $350 million to $500 million. We also improved our pension funded status and thus anticipate that only minimal contributions to our pension plans will be required over the next few years.
“We enter fiscal 2014 optimistic about the year, although shorter lead times and low nickel prices provide less visibility about underlying demand,” Wulfsohn said. “We do anticipate that our first quarter will experience a seasonal earnings decline similar to last year. Additionally, our first quarter will be impacted by a planned major outage and continued supply chain adjustments. However, we have seen an increase in order activity and expect to see demand improvement in our business as the year progresses.”

Net Sales and Operating Income
Net sales, excluding surcharge, increased by $25.4 million or 5 percent from the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The higher sales were primarily driven by increased shipments of nickel-based alloy materials used in aerospace engines and other aerospace applications. Additionally, continued market penetration of nickel based alloys used in completion equipment for the oil and gas market added to the sales increase.
In aggregate, year-over-year sales declined by $10.1 million or 2 percent. The lower level of sales was partly attributable to a reduction in demand from economically sensitive markets. In particular, sales to the transportation, industrial and consumer markets declined $8.2 million or 6 percent. Additionally, sales to the medical market declined by $7.7 million, or 23 percent, primarily due to supply chain adjustments.
Operating income, excluding pension earnings, interest, and deferrals (EID) increased by $12.4 million or 20 percent from the sequential quarter. In addition to higher shipments, operating income reflected above plan synergies that were achieved from the Latrobe integration and improved manufacturing efficiencies at our Specialty Alloys manufacturing operations.
Operating income excluding pension EID increased $2.6 million or 4 percent from the fourth quarter a year ago. The quarter a year ago included acquisition related expenses of $8.7 million for inventory fair value adjustments. The quarter a year ago benefitted from robust demand

from the consumer, industrial and transportation markets and higher operating income from the Precision Engineered Products segment.
Cash Flow
Cash flow from operations was $183.5 million which was used to finance $113.4 million of capital spending, largely related to the Athens facility construction. Free cash flow was $61.3 million in the current quarter driven by strong earnings and inventory management.
Free cash flow also reflected a required cash pension contribution of $1.6 million. The Company decided not to make additional discretionary contributions to the pension plan in the fourth quarter in light of a rise in interest rates which drove the improvement in the plan’s funded status.
Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance, increased to $750.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter. The ending cash balance of $257.5 million was $46.5 million higher than the prior year end, and the revolver capacity was increased from $350 million to $500 million.

Aerospace and Defense
· Commercial aerospace build rates remain strong; outlook positive
· Shorter lead times allowing distributors to delay purchases to take advantage of falling nickel prices
· Demand growth for proprietary materials for structural applications
Energy
· Growth in ultra-premium materials for Oil & Gas completions due primarily to share gain
· Drilling alloys impacted by destocking and low growth in North American rig count
· Gas turbine orders remain sluggish
Medical
· Supply chain inventory adjustments impacted the fourth quarter
· Expect modest resumption of demand as OEM inventories reach low levels
Page 5 of 8
Transportation
· Demand for North American auto offset by continued weakness in Europe and for heavy duty equipment
· Demand growth for materials used in new fuel delivery systems offset by softer demand for materials used in valves, exhaust and other automotive components
Industrial and Consumer
· Strong demand for materials used in sporting goods and fittings applications more than offset by reduced demand for industrial valve materials
· Softer demand within distribution channels
Special Items in the Quarter
There were two offsetting special items in the quarter that resulted in no impact to reported earnings per share. The first item was restructuring charges related primarily to the reduction in salaried workforce. The second item was the tax impact associated with the change in assumption regarding discretionary pension contributions.

The Company has three reportable segments, Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”), Latrobe, and Performance Engineered Products (“PEP”). During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company moved the Specialty Steel Supply business acquired in connection with the Latrobe Acquisition from the Latrobe segment to the Performance Engineered Products segment.
The SAO segment is comprised of Carpenter’s major premium alloy and stainless steel manufacturing operations. This includes operations performed at mills primarily in Reading, Pennsylvania and the surrounding area, South Carolina, and the new premium products manufacturing facility being built in Limestone County, Alabama.
The Latrobe segment is comprised of the operations of the Latrobe business acquired effective February 29, 2012 (the “Latrobe Acquisition”). The Latrobe segment provides management with the focus and visibility into the business performance of these newly acquired operations. The Latrobe segment also includes the results of Carpenter’s distribution business in Mexico, which is being managed together with the Latrobe’s distribution business. In fiscal year 2014 the Company plans to report Latrobe Manufacturing in the SAO Segment while the Latrobe Distribution business will be reported in the PEP Segment.
The PEP segment is comprised of Carpenter’s differentiated operations.

Management believes that removing the impacts of raw material surcharges from operating margin provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period. Management believes that excluding the impact of pension earnings, interest and deferrals, which may be volatile due to changes in the financial markets, is helpful in analyzing the true operating performance of the Company.
Management believes that removing the impacts of costs associated with the special items (i.) restructuring related costs, (ii.) an inventory reduction initiative costs aimed at identifying opportunities to reduce inventory levels and improve inventory turnover across the mill operations, (iii.) Latrobe acquisition related costs (from transaction), and (vi.) Latrobe acquisition inventory fair value cost adjustments are helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these costs are expected to be nonrecurring in nature.
(A) For purposes of providing earnings and guidance for fiscal year 2013, the Company excluded $11.6 of Latrobe acquisition inventory fair value adjustments from adjusted operating income for fiscal year 2012.
