Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies
Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies	Note 7. Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies ​ Legal ​ The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, commercial, asbestos, employment and federal and/or state Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative actions. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. Environmental The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources to close and provide post-closure environmental monitoring and care for certain areas of its Kokomo, Indiana and Mountain Home, North Carolina facilities, respectively. The Company is required to, among other things, monitor groundwater and to continue post-closure maintenance of the former disposal areas at each site. As a result, the Company is aware of elevated levels of certain contaminants in the groundwater, and additional testing and corrective action by the Company could be required. The Company is unable to estimate the costs of any further corrective action at these sites, if required. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the costs of any future corrective action at these or any other current or former sites would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company had accrued $566 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities, of which $496 is included in long-term obligations as it is not due within one year. Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the post-closure monitoring. Expected maturities of post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) included in long-term obligations are as follows at June 30, 2022. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Expected maturities of post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities (discounted) ​ Year Ending September 30, ​ ​ ​ 2023 $ 68 ​ 2024 89 ​ 2025 67 ​ 2026 ​ 68 ​ 2027 and thereafter 204 ​ ​ $ 496 ​ ​

Deferred Revenue
Deferred Revenue	Note 8. Deferred Revenue ​ On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a twenty-year agreement to provide conversion services to Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) for up to ten million pounds of titanium metal annually. TIMET paid the Company a $50,000 up-front fee and will also pay the Company for its processing services during the term of the agreement ( 20 years ) at prices established by the terms of the agreement. TIMET may exercise an option to have up to an additional ten million pounds of titanium converted annually, provided that it offers to loan up to $12,000 to the Company for certain capital expenditures which may be required to expand capacity. In addition to the volume commitment, the Company has granted TIMET a first priority security interest in its four-high Steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements. The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing). The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium hot-rolling conversion services to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the Conversion Services Agreement. The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including liquidated damages of $25,000 and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages. Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur. Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract. The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. ​

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net	Note 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net ​ The Company has goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles. Customer relationships have a definite life and are amortized over a period of fifteen years . The Company reviews customer relationships for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. ​ Goodwill and trademarks (indefinite lived) are tested for impairment at least annually as of January 31 for goodwill and August 31 for trademarks (the annual impairment testing dates), and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value of a trademark exceeds its fair value (determined using an income approach, based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. The impairment test for goodwill is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment loss in the event that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value. Any goodwill impairment loss recognized would not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. No impairment has been recognized as of June 30, 2022. ​ During the first nine months of fiscal 2022, there were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill. ​ Amortization of customer relationships and other intangibles was $119 and $225 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and $350 and $547 for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	Note 10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share ​ The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Nine Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 30, ​ June 30, ​ (in thousands, except share and per share data) 2021 2022 2021 2022 Numerator: Basic and Diluted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net income (loss) $ 422 ​ $ 15,608 $ (11,237) $ 28,751 ​ Dividends paid and accrued ​ (2,814) ​ (2,732) ​ (8,377) ​ (8,271) ​ Undistributed income (loss) ​ (2,392) ​ 12,876 ​ (19,614) ​ 20,480 ​ Percentage allocated to common shares (a) ​ 100.0 % 99.0 % 100.0 % 99.0 % Undistributed income (loss) allocated to common shares ​ ​ (2,392) ​ ​ 12,749 ​ ​ (19,614) ​ ​ 20,271 ​ Dividends paid on common shares outstanding ​ 2,776 ​ 2,705 ​ 8,263 ​ 8,187 ​ Net income (loss) available to common shares ​ 384 ​ 15,454 ​ (11,351) ​ 28,458 ​ Denominator: Basic and Diluted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted average common shares outstanding ​ 12,515,161 ​ 12,339,308 ​ 12,507,373 ​ 12,346,372 ​ Adjustment for dilutive potential common shares ​ 161,133 ​ 119,947 ​ — ​ 160,566 ​ Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted ​ 12,676,294 ​ 12,459,255 ​ 12,507,373 ​ 12,506,938 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Basic net income (loss) per share $ 0.03 $ 1.25 $ (0.91) $ 2.30 ​ Diluted net income (loss) per share $ 0.03 $ 1.24 $ (0.91) $ 2.28 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Number of stock option shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive ​ 411,917 ​ 218,787 ​ 376,203 ​ 254,133 ​ Number of restricted stock shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive ​ 68,345 ​ 51,830 ​ 173,636 ​ 56,536 ​ Number of deferred restricted stock shares excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive ​ ​ 2,778 ​ 2,976 ​ ​ 31,094 ​ ​ 3,427 ​ Number of performance share awards excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive ​ ​ 48,373 ​ 47,896 ​ ​ 62,975 ​ ​ 51,466 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (a ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Common shares outstanding ​ 12,515,161 ​ 12,339,308 ​ 12,507,373 ​ 12,346,372 ​ Unvested participating shares ​ — ​ 123,336 ​ — ​ 127,219 ​ ​ ​ 12,515,161 ​ 12,462,644 ​ 12,507,373 ​ 12,473,591 ​ ​

The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to performance shares at June 30, 2022 was $1,527 , to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.34 years. ​ Stock Options ​ The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectations regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant. The following assumptions were used for grants during fiscal year 2022: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Dividend Risk-free Expected Expected Grant Date ​ Value ​ Yield ​ Interest Rate ​ Volatility ​ Life November 23, 2021 ​ $ 15.02 2.00 % 1.22 % 45 % 5 years ​ ​ The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 was $301 and $231 , respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 was $882 and $768 , respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	Note 13. Fair Value Measurements ​ The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value. ​ ● Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; ● Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and ● Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. ​ When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally-generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. The valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. Fixed income securities are held as individual bonds and are valued as either level 1 assets as they are quoted in active markets or level 2 assets. U.S and International equities, and Other Investments held in the Company’s pension plan are held as individual bonds or in mutual funds and common / collective funds which are valued using net asset value (NAV) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. These investments are not classified in the fair value hierarchy in accordance with guidance included in ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)
