- First quarter net revenues of $147.4 million representing a first quarter revenue Company record, despite being unfavorably impacted by a three week unplanned outage at the 4-high hot rolling mill in the Kokomo plant, which delayed production and shipments. This compares to $132.7 million in last year's first quarter.
- Gross margin for the first quarter of 16.8% of revenue compared to last year's 17.4%. Excluding the raw material headwind of $5.7 million, adjusted gross margin was an outage impacted 20.6% of revenue compared to last year's $5.6 million headwind and 21.6% adjusted gross margin.
- First quarter net income of $7.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted earnings per share, compared to last year's first quarter of $7.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted earnings per share with both periods having similar raw material headwind amounts.
- Backlog of $448.8 million as of December 31, 2023, up 9.9% year-over-year, led by strength in aerospace and industrial gas turbine demand. Sequentially backlog declined $(11.6) million due to lower quoted lead times on certain products which can impact ordering patterns. Aerospace had a slight sequential increase in backlog.
- Revolver balance of $108.9 million, a decrease of $5.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Credit facility of $200 million provides strong liquidity moving forward.
- Capital investment in first quarter of fiscal year 2024 of $4.3 million. Total planned capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 estimated at $25 to $35 million.
- Regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Company's common stock declared.
KOKOMO, Ind., Feb. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haynes International, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: HAYN) (the "Company"), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high-performance alloys, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share.
"The continued strength of our aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets resulted in record first quarter revenue. In addition, we are proud of our team's actions in the quarter to minimize the revenue impact of an unplanned three-week outage at our Kokomo hot rolling mill," said Michael L. Shor, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While the continuing raw material headwinds from falling nickel prices will impact the second quarter, we continue to focus on what has and will continue to differentiate us, and we remain optimistic about continued strong demand and improving operational momentum through the balance of the year."
1st Quarter Results
Net Revenues. Net revenues were $147.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 11.1% from the same period of fiscal 2023 due to an increase in product average selling price per pound of $1.69 or 6.0% and an increase in pounds sold of 0.2 million or 3.9%. The increase in product average selling price per pound largely reflected price increases and other sales factors, resulting in increased product average selling price per pound by approximately $3.47. It also included a favorable product mix, resulting in increased product average selling price per pound by approximately $0.63. Partially offsetting these increases were lower market prices of raw materials, which decreased product average selling price per pound by approximately $2.41. The increase in pounds sold was hindered in the quarter by a three-week unplanned outage of the 4-high hot rolling mill located in Kokomo, Indiana.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $122.6 million, or 83.2% of net revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $109.6 million, or 82.6% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2023. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due to a three-week unplanned outage of our 4-high hot rolling mill.
Gross Profit. Gross profit was $24.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $1.7 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2023 driven by higher volumes sold. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues declined by 60 basis points, primarily due to the three-week unplanned outage of our 4-high hot rolling mill.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $12.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $1.5 million from the same period of fiscal 2023. The increase in expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was largely driven by $0.5 million of foreign exchange losses incurred during the quarter. Additionally, higher compensation and consulting costs contributed to the remainder of the increase.
Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $1.1 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.7% of net revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Operating Income. The above factors resulted in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 of $11.1 million, approximately the same as the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income). Nonoperating retirement benefit expense (income) was a benefit of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to a benefit of $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2023. The higher nonoperating retirement benefit recorded was primarily driven by a decrease in the discount rate used in the actuarial valuation of the U.S. pension plan liability as of September 30, 2023, which resulted in higher amortization of actuarial gains in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by a higher interest cost component of nonoperating retirement benefit income in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $1.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2023 primarily driven by approximately $30 million of additional borrowings against the revolving line of credit and higher interest rates.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.5 million from expense of $2.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily driven by the vesting of stock-based compensation awards that reduced tax expense by approximately $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 along with a decrease in income before income taxes of $0.6 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as a percentage of income before income taxes was 18.2% as compared to 22.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net Income. As a result of the above factors, net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $7.7 million, relatively unchanged from $7.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2023.
Volumes and Pricing
Volume shipped in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 4.7 million pounds, which was 3.9% higher year-over-year than the first quarter of fiscal 2023, but was 2.8% lower sequentially than the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. First quarter volumes are typically sequentially lower due to holidays, planned maintenance outages and customers managing their calendar year-end balance sheets. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we had an unplanned three-week outage at our 4-high hot rolling mill which delayed production and shipments. This outage may impact shipments during the second quarter of fiscal 2024; however, a significant portion of the delayed shipments are expected to be made up in the second half of fiscal 2024 and into fiscal 2025.
Aerospace volume decreased by 1.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to last year's first quarter; however aerospace average selling price per pound increased 15.4% resulting in a 13.7% or $8.8 million aerospace revenue increase compared to the prior year. Single-aisle commercial aircraft demand remains strong. Industrial gas turbine (IGT) volumes increased 31.3% compared to last year's first quarter, which, combined with a 3.5% increase in the IGT average selling price resulted in a 36.0% or $9.4 million IGT revenue increase compared to the prior year. Volume and sales growth in IGT was a result of solid customer demand and the Company's market share growth strategy. Volumes in the chemical processing industry (CPI) decreased by 14.8% year-over-year, partially offset by CPI average selling price increasing 7.3%. The net resulted in an 8.5% or $1.9 million, CPI revenue decrease compared to the prior year. Other markets revenue decreased 21.8%; however, other revenue increased by 35.1%. The revenue decreases in CPI and Other Markets were due to mix management actions related to low-margin commoditized products as well as the three-week 4-high mill outage.
The Company has an ongoing strategy of increasing margins. This has been achieved by reducing processing costs as well as increasing pricing for the high-value, differentiated products and services it offers. The Company implemented multiple price increases for its contract and non-contract business as market conditions improved and in response to higher inflation. Customer long-term agreements typically have adjustors for specific raw material prices and for changes in the producer price index to help cover general inflationary items. The product average selling price per pound in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $29.81, which was a 6.0% increase year-over-year, primarily due to the noted price increases and raw material adjustors.
Gross Profit Margin Trend Performance
The Company has made a significant strategic effort to improve gross margins over the past few years. As a result of this strategy, the Company reduced the volume breakeven point by over 25%. The Company previously struggled to be profitable at roughly 5.0 million pounds per quarter. With the current product mix, the Company can generate profits at lower volumes as first demonstrated in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, producing a positive net income at only 3.7 million pounds shipped.
Gross profit margin was 16.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 17.4% in the same period last year and 18.5% in fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Volatility of raw materials, specifically nickel and cobalt, have impacted gross margins. During fiscal 2022 this impact was favorable due to rising raw material prices that drove increased gross margins; however, in fiscal 2023 the raw material impact turned unfavorable primarily due to cobalt prices decreasing. The raw material impact continued to be unfavorable in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 due to nickel prices decreasing which lowered gross margins. The estimated impact from raw material volatility in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was a headwind of $5.6 million that compressed gross margin by an estimated 4.2%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was a headwind of $1.7 million that compressed gross profit margin by an estimated 1.1%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was a headwind of $1.5 million that compressed gross profit margin by an estimated 1.1%, and in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was a headwind of $3.7 million that compressed gross profit margin by an estimated 2.4%. This continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2024 with a headwind of $5.7 million compressing gross profit margin by an estimated 3.8%. The 4-high mill outage delayed production and shipments in the quarter which also had an unfavorable impact on gross profit margin.
Backlog
Backlog was $448.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $40.6 million, or 9.9% from the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and a decrease of $11.6 million, or 2.5% from the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. Backlog pounds decreased 6.0% during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 to approximately 13.8 million pounds, predominantly due to reduced production lead times on certain products thereby reducing the amount of orders needing to be placed further out in the year.
Capital Spending
Capital investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $4.3 million, and total planned capital spending for fiscal 2024 are expected to be between $25.0 million and $35.0 million.
Working Capital
Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $447.1 million as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 0.5%, from $449.4 million as of September 30, 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from accounts receivable decreasing by $10.2 million, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses decreasing by $6.7 million and inventory increasing by $1.2 million during the first three months of fiscal 2024.
Liquidity
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14.0 million as of December 31, 2023 compared to $10.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company had $108.9 million of borrowings against the $200.0 million line of credit outstanding with remaining capacity available of $91.1 million as of December 31, 2023, putting total liquidity at $105.1 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2024 was $17.0 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2023. This year-over-year change in operating cash flow was driven by a decrease in inventory of $2.1 million as compared to an increase of $29.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2023 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $11.6 million as compared to a decrease of $5.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. This was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8.0 million during the first three months of fiscal 2024 as compared to an increase of $4.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2023, a difference of $12.6 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024, which was higher than net cash used in investing activities of $3.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2023 due to higher additions to property, plant and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $9.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024, a difference of $22.6 million from cash provided by financing activities of $12.7 million during the first three months of fiscal 2023. This difference was primarily driven by a net repayment of $5.4 million against the credit facilities during the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to a net borrowing of $13.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. Additionally, there were no proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the first three months of fiscal 2024 compared to $3.4 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the same period of fiscal 2023 as well as higher share repurchases of $1.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024 as compared to $0.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2023. Dividends paid of $2.9 million during the first three months of fiscal 2024 were higher than dividends paid of $2.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2023.
Dividend Declared
On February 5, 2024, 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. The dividend is payable March 15, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2024. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Guidance
Based on the continued projected growth in both our aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets, the Company believes that revenue and earnings are expected to be higher in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2024, despite the continued raw material headwinds resulting from falling nickel prices.
Earnings Conference Call
In light of the proposed transaction with North American Stainless, Inc. announced earlier today, the Company has cancelled the conference call, previously scheduled for Friday, February 9, 2024, to discuss its results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE - ADJUSTED GROSS PROFIT MARGIN - EXCLUDING THE ESTIMATED IMPACTS OF NICKEL AND COBALT FLUCTUATIONS
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share data)
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit % - Excluding the estimated impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations
Management believes that Adjusted Gross profit margin and Adjusted Gross profit % - Excluding the estimated impact of nickel and cobalt fluctuations provide relevant indicator of the Company's profitability by eliminating the impact of fluctuating impacts of nickel and cobalt prices which can compress or expand gross profit margin. The estimated gross profit and gross profit % impact from nickel and cobalt price fluctuations is derived from a model developed by the Company to measure how the price changes flow through net revenues and cost of sales. This model incorporates flow across each different type of pricing mechanism and the timing of how the cost of nickel and cobalt flows to cost of sales including the impacts of the commodity price exposure of the Company's scrap cycle. Management uses its results excluding these nickel and cobalt price impacts to evaluate its operating performance.
