KOKOMO, IN, November 17, 2011 — Haynes International, Inc. (NASDAQ GM: HAYN) a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high-performance alloys, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and twelve months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share.
“Fiscal 2011 was marked by continuing quarter over quarter improvement in results compared to fiscal 2010. We generated net income of $31.1 million for the year, on net revenues of $542.9 million, a significant improvement over fiscal 2010, net income of $8.9 million and net revenues of $381.5 million,” said Mark Comerford, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Net revenues, volume and net income improved in each quarter, as demand in our end markets improved. We are encouraged by the positive trend in our end markets, most notably aerospace, and believe we are well-positioned to compete effectively in the coming year.”
Fiscal 2011 Results
Net Revenues. Net revenues were $542.9 million in fiscal 2011, an increase of 42.3% from $381.5 million in fiscal 2010, due to increases in volume and average selling price per pound. Volume was 23.6 million pounds in fiscal 2011, an increase of 32.6% from 17.8 million pounds in fiscal 2010. The total average selling price was $22.97 per pound in fiscal 2011, an increase of 7.3% from $21.41 per pound in fiscal 2010. Average selling price increased due to improved customer demand, improved product mix and rising raw material costs, while volume increased due to improved customer demand. The Company’s consolidated backlog was $273.4 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of 84.7% from $148.0 million at September 30, 2010. This increase reflects the combination of a 50.7% increase in backlog pounds and a 22.6% increase in backlog average selling price.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $449.1 million, or 82.7% of net revenues, in fiscal 2011 compared to $327.7 million, or 85.9% of net revenues, in fiscal 2010. Cost of sales in fiscal 2011 increased by $121.4 million as compared to fiscal 2010 due to higher volume, higher raw material costs and increased production staffing to meet increased demand.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $41.2 million for fiscal 2011, an increase of $5.7 million, or 16.2%, from $35.5 million in fiscal 2010 due to higher headcount and personnel costs and a higher level of business activity, resulting in increased administrative and sales and marketing expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 7.6% for fiscal 2011, compared to 9.3% for fiscal 2010, due to increased revenues.
Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $3.3 million, or 0.6% of revenue, for fiscal 2011, an increase of $0.4 million from $2.8 million, or 0.7% of net revenues, in fiscal 2010. The increase in cost between periods is due to expenses related to the commercialization of new alloys.
Operating Income. As a result of the above factors, operating income in fiscal 2011 was $49.3 million compared to operating income of $15.5 million in fiscal 2010.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $18.3 million in fiscal 2011, an increase of $11.6 million from an expense of $6.7 million in fiscal 2010, due primarily to higher pretax income generated in fiscal 2011. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 was 37.0%, compared to 43.1% in fiscal 2010. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, Indiana enacted a corporate income tax rate decrease from 8.5% to 6.5% to be phased in over a period of four years. Additional income tax expense of $0.7 million was recorded in the third quarter reflecting our estimate of the decrease in the deferred tax asset, due to the lower state income tax rate. The prior year effective tax rate of 43.1% was primarily due to the impact of fixed permanent items on lower pretax earnings.
Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income in fiscal 2011, including the one-time, non-cash tax charge of $0.7 million, was $31.1 million, an increase of $22.3 million from net income of $8.9 million in fiscal 2010. Net income excluding the one-time, non-cash tax charge was $31.9 million.
Backlog
Backlog dollars were $273.4 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of approximately 5.3% from $288.6 million at June 30, 2011. This decrease was the result of a decrease in backlog pounds of 12.7% partially offset by an 8.5% increase in the backlog average selling price.
The backlog dollars declined in the fourth quarter due to the combination of the highest shipment quarter of the fiscal year in conjunction with a reduced level of order entry in the fourth quarter as compared to the previous two quarters. This slow down in order entry was the result of the typical summer slowdown due to the reduced activity in Europe, which was exacerbated by the uncertain economic conditions during our fourth fiscal quarter, particularly associated with the European banks and their holdings of sovereign debt. However, the backlog continues to reflect a significant amount of higher value alloys and forms compared to previous quarters which is resulting in the continued increase in backlog average selling price.
Capital Spending
Capital spending in fiscal 2011 was $14.4 million. Significant projects in fiscal 2011 included upgrades to the Company’s four-high Steckel rolling mill including a charging crane, automatic gauge controls and installation of an edger. The target for capital spending in fiscal 2012 is approximately $27.1 million, which includes approximately $5.0 million for additional remelting capacity, approximately $5.0 million for continued four-high Steckel rolling mill upgrades, approximately $10.0 million over the course of fiscal 2012 and 2013 for restructuring of the Company’s service centers and spending for the upgrade of the Company’s information technology system of $9.1 million, also split approximately equally between fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013. The Company expects to spend approximately $20.0 million of the forecasted $27.1 million for fiscal 2012 on these items, with the remaining $7.0 million expected to be spent on a number of maintenance capital projects and upgrades.
Liquidity
During fiscal 2011, the Company’s primary sources of cash were cash on hand and cash from operations, as detailed below. At September 30, 2011, the Company had a zero balance on the revolver and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $60.1 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $64.0 million at September 30, 2010.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.6 million in fiscal 2011, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $19.0 million in fiscal 2010. Net income of $31.1 million in fiscal year 2011 was $22.2 million higher as compared to $8.9 million in fiscal 2010. At September 30, 2011, inventory balances (net of foreign currency adjustments) were approximately $17.9 million higher than at September 30, 2010. This increase in inventory was a result of higher manufacturing volumes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Cash used from an increase of accounts receivable was $24.8 million in fiscal 2011, as compared to $15.8 million for fiscal 2010, as a result of higher fourth quarter sales. Pension and postretirement benefits was a use of cash of $6.5 million in fiscal 2011. Cash of $18.0 million was generated from increased accounts payable due to higher purchases of raw materials. Net cash used in investing activities was $14.3 million in fiscal 2011, as a result of capital expenditure spending. Net cash used in financing activities was $9.3 million primarily due to the payment of $9.8 million in dividends to shareholders. As a result of the above, the cash balance decreased to $60.1 million at September 30, 2011, despite the growth in sales volumes.
The Company’s sources of cash for fiscal 2012 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and, if needed, borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility. The U.S. revolving credit facility provides borrowings in a maximum amount of $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. At September 30, 2011, the Company had cash of approximately $60.1 million, an outstanding balance of zero on the U.S. revolving credit facility and access to a total of approximately $120.0 million under the U.S. revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base and certain reserves. Management believes that the resources described above will be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures, payments to our pension plan and dividends over the next twelve months.
The Company’s primary uses of cash over the next twelve months are expected to consist of expenditures related to:
· Funding operations;
· Capital spending;
· Pension plan funding; and
· Dividends to stockholders.
Dividend Declared
On November 17, 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. This quarterly dividend amount of $0.22 per share represents a ten percent increase from previous quarterly per share dividend amounts. The dividend is payable December 15, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2011. The aggregate cash payout based on current shares outstanding will be approximately $2.7 million, or approximately $10.7 million on an annualized basis.
Outlook
As with past first quarter periods, the first quarter performance of fiscal 2012 is expected to be impacted by a reduced number of production and shipment days available due to holidays, vacations, maintenance projects and capital projects. The reduced number of production and ship days correspondingly reduces the level of net income that can be achieved. Management anticipates that pounds shipped in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 will be approximately 10% to 15% lower than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The reduction in volume as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, and the corresponding reduction in absorption of fixed costs and gross margin dollars, is expected to unfavorably impact net income in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012 by 10% to 20% as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Management also anticipates that net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 will improve from the first quarter to equal or possibly slightly exceed the net income of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
Management expects net income for fiscal 2012 to exceed the net income of fiscal 2011. However, due to the continued competitive environment and the current uncertainty of the economic environment, the amount of any improvement from fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2012 is uncertain.

Non-GAAP Measure
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures described below. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that non-GAAP reporting, giving effect to the adjustments shown in the reconciliation contained in the attached financial statements, provides meaningful information and therefore we use it to supplement our GAAP disclosures. These non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations and to provide an additional measure of performance.
In fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash tax charge to reduce its deferred tax asset due to an enacted state income tax rate reduction. This type of charge has not occurred frequently and is not expected to occur again in the foreseeable future. The Company believes that excluding this charge will provide investors with a basis to compare the Company’s core operating results in different periods without this variability.
