Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: CRS) (the “Company”) today
announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended
December 31, 2021. For the quarter, the Company reported a net
loss of $29.4 million, or $0.61 loss per diluted share. Excluding
the special item, adjusted loss per diluted share was $0.58 for the
quarter.
“Demand continues to improve as the recovery takes hold across
our end-use markets, with our backlog up 35 percent sequentially
and 106 percent year-over-year,” said Tony R. Thene, President and
CEO of Carpenter Technology. “We continue to see signs of the
Aerospace recovery with lead times increasing despite any near-term
uncertainties from the latest wave of COVID-19 cases. In addition,
during the quarter, we signed several customer contracts with
Aerospace customers that include favorable pricing and expanded
share opportunities.”“Our Performance Engineered Products segment
finished ahead of our expectations for the second quarter of fiscal
year 2022, driven primarily by strong demand in the Medical end-use
market. Within the Specialty Alloys Operations segment, near-term
operational headwinds impacted our performance in the current
quarter including production employee COVID-19 isolations, supply
chain disruptions, and hiring challenges in a difficult labor
environment. In addition, the unplanned outage of the press at our
Reading, PA facility limited our ability to meet our production
targets in the quarter.”“We believe the operational challenges are
short term in nature and are focusing our efforts on increasing our
production rates to keep pace with growing demand. We are on-track
with repairs to the Reading press and expect to have it operational
in the current quarter. Looking ahead, we believe that we are well
positioned for growth given the increasing demand across our
end-use markets, our strong customer relationships, and the role
our critical solutions play in the supply chain.”

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $396.0
million, compared with $348.8 million in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2021, an increase of $47.2 million (or 14 percent), on
a 9 percent increase in shipment volume. Net sales excluding
surcharge were $314.9 million, an increase of $15.5 million (or 5
percent) from the same period a year ago. The results reflect
higher shipments to the Medical, Transportation, Industrial and
Consumer and Distribution end-use markets partially offset by lower
shipments to the Aerospace and Defense and Energy end-use
markets.
Operating loss was $31.5 million compared to operating loss of
$89.0 million in the prior year period. The prior year period
included a goodwill impairment charge of $52.8 million. The
improved results reflect higher sales as well as the full
recognition of various cost savings actions taken in fiscal year
2021.
COVID-19 related costs, the special item excluded from adjusted
operating loss in the current quarter, totaled $1.7 million. The
COVID-19 related costs consisted of direct incremental operating
costs including outside services to execute enhanced cleaning
protocols, additional personal protective equipment, isolation pay
for production employees potentially exposed to COVID-19 and
various operating supplies necessary to maintain the operations
while keeping employees safe against possible exposure in the
Company’s facilities. Special items in the prior year period
included $3.9 million of COVID-19 related costs as well as a $52.8
million goodwill impairment charge.
Cash used for operating activities in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2022 was $89.2 million compared to cash provided from
operating activities of $83.6 million in the same quarter last
year. The decrease in operating cash flow primarily reflects
investments in working capital, most notably inventory. The Company
expects the inventory build in the first half of the year to be
temporary and anticipates that inventory will be reduced in the
second half of fiscal year 2022. Free cash flow in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2022 was negative $116.3 million, compared
to positive $51.0 million in the same quarter last year. The
decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to investments in
working capital partially offset by lower capital expenditures in
the current year quarter. Capital expenditures in the second
quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $19.1 million, compared to $26.6
million in the same quarter last year.
Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance,
was $391.6 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal
year 2022. This consisted of $96.9 million of cash and $294.7
million of available borrowing under the Company’s credit
facility.

manufacturing and supply chains; (19) our status as a “critical”,
“essential” or “life-sustaining” business in light of COVID-19
business closure laws, orders and guidance being challenged by a
governmental body or other applicable authority; (20) our ability
to execute our business continuity, operational, budget and fiscal
plans in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; and (21) our ability to
successfully carry out restructuring and business exit activities
on the expected terms and timelines. Any of these factors could
have an adverse and/or fluctuating effect on Carpenter Technology’s
results of operations. The forward-looking statements in this

The Company has two reportable segments, Specialty Alloys
Operations (“SAO”) and Performance Engineered Products (“PEP”).
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 and Latrobe,
Pennsylvania and surrounding areas as well as South Carolina and
Alabama.
The PEP segment is comprised of the Company’s differentiated
operations. This segment includes the Dynamet titanium business,
the Carpenter Additive business and the Latrobe and Mexico
distribution businesses. The Amega West business was part of the
PEP segment however the business was divested during the quarter
ended September 30, 2020. The businesses in the PEP segment are
managed with an entrepreneurial structure to promote flexibility
and agility to quickly respond to market dynamics. It is our belief
this model will ultimately drive overall revenue and profit growth.
The pounds sold data above for the PEP segment includes only the
Dynamet and Additive businesses.
Corporate costs are comprised of executive and director
compensation, and other corporate facilities and administrative
expenses not allocated to the segments. Also included are items
that management considers not representative of ongoing operations
and other specifically identified income or expense items.
The service cost component of net pension (income) expense,
which represents the estimated cost of future pension liabilities
earned associated with active employees, is included in the
operating results of the business segments. The residual net
pension (income) expense is comprised of the expected return on
plan assets, interest costs on the projected benefit obligations of
the plans, and amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior
service costs and is included in other (income) expense, net.

Management believes that removing the impact of raw material
surcharge from operating margin provides a more consistent basis
for comparing results of operations from period to period, thereby
permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make
decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. In
addition, management believes that excluding the impact of special
items from operating margin is helpful in analyzing the operating
performance of the Company, as these items are not indicative of
ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results
excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and
to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s
board of directors and others.
