PHILADELPHIA - July 25, 2024 - Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: CRS) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2024.

Excluding special items discussed below, adjusted operating income was $125.2 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share was $1.82 for the current quarter.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

 

   

Delivered $125.2 million of adjusted operating income, up 39 percent sequentially and a record quarterly result

 

   

Realized adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.82

 

   

Generated $169.5 million of cash from operating activities, or $142.4 million of adjusted free cash flow

 

   

Increased net sales excluding surcharge 15 percent sequentially, driven by increased sales in Aerospace and Defense and Medical end-use markets

 

   

Exceeded expectations in Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”) segment with operating income of $140.9 million, up 36 percent sequentially


   

Delivered adjusting operating margin of 25.2 percent in the SAO segment, up from 21.4 percent in the previous quarter

 

   

Completed most profitable year on record, with $354.1 million in total adjusted operating income in fiscal year 2024, up 166 percent over fiscal year 2023

Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook

 

   

Expect operating income to be in the range of $460 million to $500 million, pulling forward financial goal 2 years from fiscal year 2027 to fiscal year 2025

 

   

With operating income guidance, expect to generate $250 million to $300 million in adjusted free cash flow, which represents approximately 85 percent conversion rate

 

   

For first quarter of fiscal year 2025, anticipate between $114 million and $120 million in operating income

 

   

Well positioned for continued growth beyond fiscal year 2025 with strong market demand outlook for our broad portfolio of specialized solutions, increasing productivity, optimizing product mix and pricing actions

Share Repurchase Program

 

   

Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $400 million

 

   

Will target offsetting dilution and taking advantage of strategic market opportunities

 

   

Repurchases will be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion, based on general market conditions and the market price of its common stock

“In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 we exceeded our previous guidance, generating $125.2 million of adjusted operating income,” said Tony R. Thene, President and CEO of Carpenter Technology. “The record fourth quarter performance completed the most profitable year in Carpenter Technology’s history, achieving $354.1 million in adjusted operating income in fiscal year 2024. Further, we generated $142.4 million in adjusted free cash flow in the fourth quarter, raising the total adjusted free cash flow to $179.0 million for the full fiscal year.”

“We continue to drive earnings momentum through improved productivity, product mix optimization and pricing actions. Notably, the SAO segment generated $140.9 million in operating income with adjusted operating margin of 25.2 percent, on 13 percent higher sequential volumes.”


“With our operating momentum, we are pulling forward our fiscal year 2027 goal again, expecting to achieve $460 million to $500 million in operating income in fiscal year 2025. Having just realized over 60 percent of our goal in fiscal year 2024, we are accelerating a four-year goal into a two-year goal. And we expect a strong start to fiscal year 2025, with first quarter operating income in the range of $114 million to $120 million.”

“Further, we expect to generate $250 million to $300 million in adjusted free cash flow in fiscal year 2025. With a strong balance sheet and meaningful adjusted free cash flow, we will continue to take a balanced approach to capital allocation: sustaining our current asset base to achieve our targets, investing in incremental growth initiatives, and returning cash to shareholders. To that end, we announced today that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $400 million.”

“Carpenter Technology continues to exceed performance and outlook expectations. Having just completed a historic fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024, we are well positioned to achieve our accelerated goals and believe our earnings growth journey will extend far beyond fiscal year 2025.”

non-GAAP financial measures explained in the attached tables

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 were $798.7 million compared with $758.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, an increase of $40.6 million (or 5 percent), on 8 percent lower shipment volume. Net sales excluding surcharge were $635.8 million, an increase of $75.8 million (or 14 percent) from the same period a year ago.


Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $108.3 million compared to operating income of $62.9 million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income excluding special items was $125.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. Earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $1.85 per diluted share compared to $0.78 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Excluding special items, adjusted earnings per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $1.82. These results compared to the prior year reflect ongoing improvement in product mix, higher realized prices, as well as expanded operating efficiencies.

Cash provided from operating activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $169.5 million, compared to $174.9 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted free cash flow in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $142.4 million, compared to $144.1 million in the same quarter last year. The strong operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow results primarily reflect higher earnings partially offset by working capital changes compared to the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $27.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to $30.8 million in the same quarter last year.

Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance, was $547.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. This consisted of $199.1 million of cash and $348.8 million of available borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility.

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 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 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 is included in other expense, net, and is comprised of the expected return on plan assets, interest costs on the projected benefit obligations of the plans, amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs, and pension settlement charges.

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.

Management believes that earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude the impact of special items 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.

Management believes that the presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition because it is a measure of cash generated which management evaluates for alternative uses. It is management’s current intention to use excess cash to fund investments in capital equipment, acquisition opportunities and consistent dividend payments. Adjusted free cash flow is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, cash flows calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
