PITTSBURGH--()--Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) reported first quarter 2016 sales of $758 million and a net loss attributable to ATI of $101 million, or $(0.94) per share. ATI’s first quarter 2016 results reflect a below-normal income tax rate benefit of 25.9%, increasing ATI’s net loss by $12 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared to the tax benefit that would apply at a standard U.S. federal 35% income tax rate.

ATI’s results reflect the ongoing restructuring and transformation of the Flat Rolled Products (FRP) business, including a previously announced $9 million first quarter 2016 charge for the reduction of approximately one-third of FRP’s salaried workforce through the elimination of over 250 positions. First quarter 2016 results also include $26 million of costs, $21 million of which impacted the FRP segment, associated with the work stoppage and the return to work of USW-represented employees following the March 2016 ratification of a new, four-year labor agreement. Excluding these items, first quarter 2016 results were a loss of $63 million, or $(0.58) per share.

“Commercial aerospace market sales increased 20% in the first quarter 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015. We saw double-digit demand growth from both jet engine and airframe customers of 15% and 30%, respectively,” said Rich Harshman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Sales of our titanium alloys grew 18%, sales of our nickel-based alloys and specialty alloys increased 12%, and sales of precision forgings, castings and components increased 12%, all compared to the fourth quarter 2015.

“ATI sales to the aerospace and defense market increased to 52% of total sales in the first quarter 2016 from 41% of total sales for the full year 2015. This market mix change is driven in large part by the growth of ATI’s next-generation mill products, forgings, and castings as well as legacy forgings and castings that are new to ATI, combined with our decision to reduce our production of heavily commoditized stainless sheet and GOES products. As a result of continuing weak demand, ATI sales to the oil & gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing market were cut in half to 7% from 14%, using the same comparison period.”

  • ATI’s sales to key global differentiated markets improved to 83% of ATI sales for the first quarter of 2016:
    • Sales to the aerospace and defense markets were $397 million and represented 52% of ATI sales: 28% jet engine, 16% airframe, 8% government aero/defense.
    • Sales to the electrical energy market were $73 million and represented 10% of ATI sales.
    • Sales to the oil & gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing industry market were $59 million and represented 7% of ATI sales: 4% oil & gas, 3% chemical and hydrocarbon processing industry.
    • Sales to the automotive market were $52 million and represented 7% of ATI sales.
    • Sales to the medical market were $50 million and represented 7% of ATI sales.
  • Direct international sales represented 40% of ATI’s first quarter 2016 sales.
  • Sales of high-value products (excluding grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES)) were 88% of ATI first quarter 2016 sales and increased 6.5% compared to the fourth quarter 2015.

“A new four-year labor agreement with USW-represented employees, mainly in our FRP business, was ratified on March 1, 2016, and these employees began returning to work in mid-March,” Harshman continued. “First quarter 2016 results were negatively impacted by the combination of reduced operating efficiencies during the work stoppage, and additional disruption to operations during the transition period from a temporary workforce to the return of our USW-represented employees. These conditions affected the FRP segment, as well as two plant locations in the High Performance Materials & Components (HPMC) segment. The new labor agreement includes important changes to retirement benefit programs, including a freeze to new entrants to ATI’s defined benefit pension plan and the elimination of retiree medical benefits for new employees. As a result of the changes, we will ratably recognize approximately $8 million of lower retirement benefit expense in the Flat Rolled Products segment in the March through December 2016 period.

“Market conditions were mixed in our HPMC segment. Demand from the commercial aerospace market increased. However, demand from the oil & gas and construction and mining markets remains depressed. Sales in our HPMC segment were $493 million in the first quarter 2016, an 8% increase compared to the fourth quarter 2015, while segment operating profit improved almost 40%, to $29 million, or 5.9% of sales. On an adjusted basis, HPMC segment operating profit in the first quarter 2016 was 6.9% of sales, excluding over $5 million in non-recurring operating costs at the affected facilities during the work stoppage, as well as return-to-work costs related to the new USW labor agreement. The results in this segment continue to be driven by growth in demand from the commercial aerospace market, including legacy and next-generation airplanes and jet engines.

“Flat Rolled Products segment sales were $265 million, down 6% compared to the fourth quarter 2015, and segment operating results were a loss of $110 million, compared to a loss of $120 million in the fourth quarter 2015. Segment results, which exclude $9 million of severance charges, reflect the continued challenging market conditions, primarily impacting commodity stainless and GOES flat-rolled products. In addition to the operating costs and inefficiencies discussed earlier, the first quarter was negatively impacted by higher operating costs as we moved through the process of reducing production levels and then idling our two facilities used in the production of commodity stainless sheet and GOES products. Falling raw material prices into the first quarter of 2016 continued to adversely affect FRP results, as pricing mechanisms that are designed to recover material costs fell faster than the length of the manufacturing cycle. First quarter 2016 FRP segment results also include approximately $7 million of costs associated with contractual obligations in the return-to-work agreement for represented employees, and approximately $14 million in non-recurring operating costs related to the work stoppage and labor agreement transition.

“In the first quarter 2016, we completed the previously-announced idling of the standard/commodity stainless melt shop and finishing operations at our Flat Rolled Products’ Midland, PA facility. The idling of our GOES operations, including the Bagdad, PA facility, will be completed by the end of this month. The future restart of these idled operations depends on future business conditions and ATI’s ability to earn an acceptable return on invested capital on products manufactured at these facilities.

“We continue the process of creating a smaller, more agile, streamlined, cohesive, and efficient flat-rolled products business that will be more focused on products and markets with significant technical barriers to entry. This strategy is beginning to show results, as FRP segment sales of Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF)-enabled nickel-based alloys and specialty alloys increased 20% in the first quarter 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015.

“At March 31, 2016, cash on hand was $157 million and available additional liquidity under our domestic asset-backed credit facility was approximately $200 million. Managed working capital decreased $22 million at the end of March 2016 compared to year-end 2015, and decreased as a percentage of annualized sales, primarily due to inventory reductions in the FRP segment. We continue to estimate that 2016 capital expenditures will be less than $240 million, with $70 million paid in the first quarter 2016, over half of which related to the HRPF. Based on updated actuarial estimates, minimum funding requirements for the ATI Pension Plan through March 2017 are currently projected to be $31 million.

“Total debt to total capitalization was 45.4% at the end of the first quarter 2016 compared to 42.0% at year-end 2015, as we utilized our domestic credit facility to support capital expenditure requirements and ongoing operational needs during the FRP restructuring.”

Strategy and Outlook

“As previously stated, ATI’s results in 2016 will reflect two differently situated businesses. Our HPMC segment is beginning to realize the benefits of the growth phase of next-generation commercial airplanes and jet engines. We expect operating levels throughout our HPMC operations to continue to increase as we progress through 2016, driven primarily by the commercial aerospace market. We expect HPMC segment operating profit as a percentage of sales to return to double-digit levels by the second half of the year.

“In our FRP segment, second quarter 2016 results will reflect the ongoing rightsizing and restructuring activities during a period of continuing low raw material prices and uncertain end market demand. While base prices for stainless sheet products have improved, transaction prices remain very low by historical norms and the market for these products continues to be challenged by global overcapacity. As we continue to reposition this business to a higher value product mix, we expect shipments of our specialty coil and plate products to improve throughout 2016 and benefit from the HRPF capabilities, particularly for our 48”-wide nickel-based alloy sheet. We expect over $30 million in annualized savings from the salaried workforce reduction actions, which will begin to be fully realized in the third quarter 2016. As a result of these initiatives we expect the FRP segment to be modestly profitable in the second half of 2016.

“Cash generation from operations is a key focus for the remainder of 2016 and beyond. We expect to continue to use a portion of our asset-backed credit facility throughout 2016 as we execute our rightsizing actions in the FRP segment, and balance the working capital requirements of a smaller FRP business with increasing business volumes in HPMC.”

Compared to the fourth quarter 2015, sales increased 8% in the High Performance Materials & Components segment from higher shipments, particularly for titanium products. Flat Rolled Products segment sales decreased 6% compared to the fourth quarter 2015, due primarily to 25% lower shipments of standard stainless steel sheet products following the idling of the Midland finishing facility.
  • Net loss attributable to ATI for the first quarter 2016 was $101.2 million, or $(0.94) per share, compared to a net loss of $226.9 million, or $(2.12) per share, for the fourth quarter 2015. Results for the first quarter 2016 include $38.4 million of after-tax charges, including $12.0 million, or $(0.11) per share, related to a below-normal tax rate, compared to the tax benefit that would apply using a standard 35% U.S. federal tax rate.
  • Cash on hand was $156.9 million, and included borrowings of $150 million under the domestic secured credit facility. Cash flow used in operations for the first quarter 2016 was $61.5 million, and included a benefit of $22.2 million from lower managed working capital balances. Cash flow used in investing activities was $68.7 million, primarily for capital expenditures including the HRPF. Cash flow provided by financing activities was $137.3 million.

High Performance Materials & Components Segment

Market Conditions – First quarter 2016 compared to fourth quarter 2015

  • Demand in the first quarter 2016 improved for many of our products compared to the fourth quarter 2015. Sales to the jet engine and airframe aerospace markets were up 15% and 29%, respectively. Demand also improved slightly from the electrical energy markets. Sales to the oil & gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing industry market were 5% lower, as demand remained at low levels. Sales to the medical market were 6% lower, and sales to government defense market were 35% lower due primarily to the timing of orders under multi-year agreements. Sales of our titanium and titanium alloys increased 17%; sales of precision forgings, castings and components increased 13%; and sales of our nickel-based and specialty alloys increased 8%. Sales of zirconium and related alloys were 14% lower. International sales represented 43% of total segment sales for the first quarter 2016.

First quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015

  • Sales decreased 9% to $493.0 million compared to the first quarter 2015 across all product forms, due to both lower shipment volumes and lower selling prices for most products, which include the effects of lower raw material surcharges. Sales of nickel-based and specialty alloys were 17% lower; sales of titanium and titanium alloys were 9% lower; sales of precision forgings, castings and components were 5% lower; and sales of zirconium and related alloys were down 2%.
  • Segment operating profit was $29.1 million, or 5.9% of total sales, compared to $72.9 million, or 13.4% of total sales, for the first quarter 2015 primarily as a result of lower utilization based on weak demand from the oil & gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing industry market. Segment results continued to be negatively impacted by low operating rates at our Rowley, UT titanium sponge facility, and also included $5.3 million of costs in the first quarter 2016 related to the work stoppage and return-to-work of represented employees.

Flat Rolled Products Segment

Market Conditions – First quarter 2016 compared to fourth quarter 2015

  • Demand improved in the aerospace and defense markets, and stabilized in the oil & gas/chemical and hydrocarbon processing industry market, compared to the fourth quarter 2015. Sales to the automotive and electrical energy markets were lower, as expected, following the announced idlings of commodity stainless sheet melt and finishing and GOES facilities, which make products that serve these end markets. Compared to the fourth quarter 2015, sales of high-value products were slightly higher, led by a 20% increase in sales of nickel-based and specialty steel alloys. First quarter 2016 Flat Rolled Products segment titanium shipments, including Uniti joint venture conversion, increased 20% compared to the fourth quarter 2015, although at continued low demand levels due to weak demand from global industrial markets. Standard stainless (sheet and plate) products sales were 22% lower, compared to the fourth quarter 2015. International sales represented 34% of total segment sales for the first quarter 2016.

First quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015

  • Sales were $264.5 million, 55% lower than the first quarter 2015, due to lower shipments and lower prices across all flat-rolled product categories. Shipments of high-value products were 34% lower, led by a 55% reduction in GOES volume. Shipments of standard stainless products decreased 61%. Average selling prices decreased 16% for high-value products and 24% for standard stainless products. Significantly lower raw material surcharges versus year-ago levels contributed to the decline in sales and selling prices. Flat Rolled Products segment shipment information is presented in the attached Selected Financial Data – Mill Products table.
  • Segment operating loss was $109.6 million, or (41.4%) of sales, compared to a first quarter 2015 loss of $6.8 million, or (1.2%) of sales. Segment operating results in 2016 were primarily driven by the lower shipment volumes and selling prices, and also included $21.1 million of costs associated with the work stoppage and return-to-work of represented employees.

Income Taxes

  • The first quarter 2016 benefit for income taxes was $34.2 million, or 25.9% of the pre-tax loss, compared to a 37.8% tax rate benefit in the fourth quarter 2015. The decrease in the tax rate benefit for 2016 compared to the prior year, or to a standard 35% U.S. federal tax rate, was primarily the result of ATI’s inability to record a tax benefit on certain state tax attributes.

As part of managing the liquidity in our business, we focus on controlling managed working capital, which is defined as gross accounts receivable and gross inventories, less accounts payable. In measuring performance in controlling this managed working capital, we exclude the effects of LIFO and other inventory valuation reserves and reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable which, due to their nature, are managed separately.

In managing the overall capital structure of the Company, some of the measures that we focus on are net debt to net capitalization, which is the percentage of debt, net of cash that may be available to reduce borrowings, to the total invested and borrowed capital of ATI (excluding noncontrolling interest), and total debt to total ATI capitalization, which excludes cash balances.
