- Net revenues of $81.0 million and net loss of $(1.3) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to net revenues of $134.3 million and net income of $4.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the same period of fiscal 2009.
- Regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of the Company's common stock declared.
KOKOMO, Ind., Feb. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haynes International, Inc. (Nasdaq:HAYN) a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high-performance alloys, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share payable March 15, 2010 to stockholders of record as of March 1, 2010.
"We are encouraged by the increased activity we are seeing in the market place, and are also pleased that our backlog is slowly improving," said Mark Comerford, President and Chief Executive Officer. "However, we still believe that our core markets will continue to operate at low levels through the next two quarters. Most of the increased activity we are seeing is transactional in nature which underscores our customers' reluctance to commit to larger production runs and inventory levels."
Quarterly Results
Net Revenues. Net revenues were $81.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 39.7% from $134.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. Volume was 3.9 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 18.2% from 4.8 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2009. The aggregate average selling price was $20.63 per pound in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of 26.3% from $27.99 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2009.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $74.2 million, or 91.6% of net revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $115.6 million, or 86.0% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2009. Cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased by $41.4 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009 due to lower volume, lower material costs, reduced spending and workforce reductions. This decrease was partially offset by reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing costs caused by lower production volumes, particularly that of sheet product. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009 due to increased price competition and weaker demand, which reduced net revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $8.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 22.7%, from $10.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2009 due primarily to: (i) lower business activity causing commissions and sales expenses to decline, and (ii) significant workforce reductions in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 10.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 7.9% for the same period of fiscal 2009 due primarily to reduced revenues.
Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $0.6 million, or 0.8% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $0.2 million from $0.8 million, or 0.6% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to the reduction in workforce during the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009.
Operating Income (Loss). As a result of the above factors, operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $(2.0) million compared to operating income of $7.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2009.
Income Taxes. Income taxes were a benefit of $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of $3.2 million from an expense of $2.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2009, due to a pretax loss. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was 35.5%, compared to 35.4% in the same period of fiscal 2009.
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the above factors, net loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $(1.3) million, a decrease of $5.8 million from net income of $4.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2009.
Backlog
Slightly improving order entry activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 contributed to a slight improvement in backlog at December 31, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2009. Backlog dollars were $110.4 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately 3.5% from $106.7 million at September 30, 2009. This increase is the result of an 8.2% increase in backlog pounds, which was partially offset by a 4.3% decline in backlog average selling price. Management expects the backlog to improve modestly through the second and third quarters of fiscal 2010. The improvement in backlog may begin to positively impact net revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
Backlog dollars at December 31, 2009 declined by approximately 45% from backlog dollars of $199.7 million at December 31, 2008. Backlog pounds declined by approximately 33% and backlog average selling price declined by approximately 17% during the same period, primarily due to decreased activity in the Company's end markets and continued price competition.
Liquidity
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company's primary sources of cash were cash from operations and cash on-hand. At December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $97.5 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $105.1 million at September 30, 2009.
Net cash used in operating activities was $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. Several items contributed to the difference. Cash used from increased accounts receivable of $0.2 million was $18.5 million higher than cash provided by accounts receivable in the same period of fiscal 2009. Cash used from increased inventory balances (net of foreign currency fluctuation) of $3.6 million was $13.0 million higher than cash provided by decreased inventory balances in the same period of fiscal 2009. Offsetting the above items, cash generated from income taxes of $6.9 million was $19.6 million higher than cash used by income taxes in the same period of fiscal 2009. Net cash used in capital expenditures was $5.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures. Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 included a $2.4 million dividend payment.
The Company's sources of cash for fiscal 2010 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash-on hand, and 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 December 31, 2009, the Company had cash of approximately $97.5 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 planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements 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;
- pension plan funding;
- capital spending; and
- dividends to stockholders.
Dividend Declared
Today the Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per outstanding share of the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable March 15, 2010 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2010. The dividend cash pay-out based on current shares outstanding will be approximately $2.4 million this quarter, or approximately $9.6 million on an annualized basis.
Outlook
It appears that demand has stabilized, but it continues to be at low levels and it does not appear demand will significantly improve in the next two quarters. The Company expects that net revenues for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2010 will be similar to the amount recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Management believes that the Company's net income will range from break-even to a small loss in the second quarter and from break-even to a small profit in the third quarter. Results for fiscal 2010 will continue to be unfavorably impacted by both reduced absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, which translates into increased cost of goods sold per pound, and by the competitive environment, which places downward pressure on prices. A portion of this reduced absorption will continue to be offset by lower spending from the cost saving initiatives undertaken in fiscal 2009.
