“In Carpenter’s third quarter, we made some significant progress toward our short and long term objectives,” said William A. Wulfsohn, President and Chief Executive Officer. “At the same time, as we previously announced, earnings were significantly impacted by approximately $8 million of additional weather-related expenses. This was primarily due to a spike in electricity rates in the quarter.
“These weather-related expenses mask some strong operating performance. Specialty Alloys Operations (SAO) sales volume grew by 12 percent sequentially. In addition, our Performance Engineered Products (PEP) segment realized significant operating income growth due to its increased focus on operational excellence. Finally, while our reported operating margins were down sequentially, they would have been up by 120 basis points were it not for the $8 million of additional weather-related expense.
“Looking forward, we expect sales volume to grow, but gradually. Demand has increased in each of our end markets. Our SAO sales backlog grew 19 percent during the quarter and is now more than the prior year.
“That said, many of our key SAO work centers are now fully booked. In addition, while the Carpenter team did a great job starting up our new Athens facility ahead of schedule and under budget, the facility can only ship a limited range of products at this time. The site is fully operational, but we are working to obtain the internal and customer approvals required to tap the facility’s full potential. Some of these approvals will come quickly, within the next several quarters, while others will take longer. Thus, while we believe Athens is a game changer for Carpenter, the facility’s impact on our sales growth will be limited in the short-term and it will gain momentum over time.
“We have been able to complete the majority of our Athens-related capital spending while retaining a strong balance sheet. With the Athens capital spending ramping down, we expect to once again become a strong cash flow generator in the fourth quarter.”
Net Sales and Operating Income
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $566.3 million, and net sales excluding surcharge were $467.2 million, a decrease of $4.0 million (or 1 percent) from the same quarter last year, on 8 percent higher shipments.
Operating income was $49.5 million, a decrease of $3.5 million from the third quarter of the prior year. Operating income—excluding pension earnings, interest and deferrals (EID)—was $55.5 million, a decrease of $5.5 million (or 9 percent) from the third quarter of the prior year. Excluding the $8.0 million of weather-related impacts, and adding back the $2.9 million of special items in the third quarter of the prior year, operating income excluding pension EID was relatively unchanged year-over-year.
Cash Flow
Cash flow from operations was $81.0 million, which included a $6.3 million decrease in working capital and $1.5 million of pension contributions. This compares to a cash flow from operations of $26.5 million in the prior year’s third quarter, which included a $2.6 million increase in working capital and $85.4 million of pension contributions. Free cash flow in the third quarter was negative $22.2 million, compared to negative $66.4 million in the same quarter last year. Capital spending in the third quarter, largely related to the construction of the Athens facility, was $93.6 million, compared to $83.6 million in the prior year’s third quarter. Approximately 90 percent of the Athens project spend has occurred; the remaining spend will occur over the next 15 months.
Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance, was $577 million at the end of the third quarter. This consisted of $85 million of cash, and $492 million of available revolver.

Aerospace and Defense
- Tons were flat versus the prior year, but higher sequentially.
- Revenue per ton was down due to greater sales volume of structural component materials and continued demand weakness for nickel engine and fastener materials.
- Titanium fastener revenues were up 25 percent year-over-year.
Energy
- The directional rig count grew 5 percent compared to the same quarter last year.
- Energy tons sold were up 10 percent year-over-year. Revenue per ton was down due to softer demand for oil and gas completion materials.
- Amega West increased sales primarily as a result of higher levels of drill collar rentals.
Medical
Year-over-year sales growth was driven by:
- Stabilizing demand for orthopedic and surgical devices.
- Increased distributor demand for titanium materials.
Transportation
- North American light vehicle sales continue to rise.
- Carpenter results benefit from strong demand for materials used in the next generation of fuel delivery systems.

| Beginning with the fiscal year 2014 first quarter results, the Company changed its reportable segments. The Company has two reportable segments, Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”) and Performance Engineered Products (“PEP”). The change reflects the completion of the integration of the businesses acquired by the Company in the acquisition of Latrobe Specialty Metals, Inc. (“Latrobe”) in February 2012. Prior to this change, the Latrobe businesses were reported as a separate segment to provide management with the focus and visibility into the business of the acquired operations. The previously reported Latrobe segment also included the results of the Company’s distribution business in Mexico. Since the Latrobe businesses are now fully integrated, the previously reported Latrobe segment has been merged into the Company’s operating model, in which the Company’s integrated steel mill operations are managed distinctly from the collection of other differentiated operations. | ||||||||||||||||
| 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 and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and the new premium products manufacturing facility in Limestone County, Alabama. | ||||||||||||||||
| The PEP segment is comprised of the Company’s differentiated operations. This segment includes the Dynamet titanium business, the Carpenter Powder Products ("CPP") business, the Amega West business, the Specialty Steel Supply business and the Latrobe and Mexico distribution businesses. The businesses in the PEP segment are managed with an entrepreneurial structure to promote speed and flexibility, and drive overall revenue and profit growth. The pounds sold data above for the PEP segment includes only the Dynamet and CPP businesses. | ||||||||||||||||
| The service cost component of net pension 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 expense, or pension earning, interest and deferrals (pension EID), 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, is included under the heading "Pension earnings, interest & deferrals." | ||||||||||||||||
