**Note 4.   Income Taxes**

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and differing tax rates on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 34.7% compared to 35.5% in the same period of fiscal 2010.

The Company contributed $3,180 to Company sponsored domestic pension plans, $1,258 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $236 to the U.K. pension plan for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The Company presently expects future contributions of $9,540 to its domestic pension plans, $3,742 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $707 to the U.K. pension plan for the remainder of fiscal 2011.

 

**Note 6. Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies**

 

The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental and intellectual property matters. Future expenditures for environmental, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty; however, based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that such costs will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company believes that any and all claims arising out of conduct or activities that occurred prior to March 29, 2004 are subject to dismissal. On March 29, 2004, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On August 16, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order Under 11 U.S.C. 1129(a) and (b) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3020 Confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Haynes International, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession as Further Modified (the “Confirmation Order”). The Confirmation Order and related Chapter 11 Plan, among other things, provide for the release and discharge of prepetition claims and causes of action. The Confirmation Order further provides for an injunction against the commencement of any actions with respect to claims held prior to the Effective Date of the Plan. The Effective Date occurred on August 31, 2004. When appropriate, the Company pursues the dismissal of lawsuits premised upon claims or causes of action discharged in the Confirmation Order and related Chapter 11 Plan. The success of this strategy is dependent upon a number of factors, including the respective court’s interpretation of the Confirmation Order and the unique circumstances of each case.

 

The Company is currently, and has in the past, been subject to claims involving personal injuries allegedly relating to its products. For example, the Company is presently involved in two actions involving welding rod-related injuries, both of which were filed in California state court against numerous manufacturers, including the Company, in May 2006 and February 2007, respectively, alleging that the welding-related products of the defendant manufacturers harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese. The Company believes that it has defenses to these allegations and, that if the Company were to be found liable, the cases would not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In addition to these cases, the Company has in the past been named a defendant in several other lawsuits, including 52 filed in the state of California, alleging that its welding-related products harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese. The Company has since been voluntarily dismissed from all of these lawsuits on the basis of the release and discharge of claims contained in the Confirmation Order. While the Company contests such lawsuits vigorously, and may have applicable insurance, there are several risks and uncertainties that may affect its liability for claims relating to exposure to welding fumes and manganese. For instance, in recent cases, at least two courts (in cases not involving Haynes) have refused to dismiss claims relating to inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese based upon a bankruptcy discharge order. Although the Company believes the facts of these cases are distinguishable from the facts of its cases, there can be no

assurance that any or all claims against the Company will be dismissed based upon the Confirmation Order, particularly claims premised, in part or in full, upon actual or alleged exposure on or after the date of the Confirmation Order. It is also possible that the Company will be named in additional suits alleging welding-rod injuries. Should such litigation occur, it is possible that the aggregate claims for damages, if the Company is found liable, could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, to close and to provide post-closure monitoring and care for certain areas at the Kokomo facility previously used for the storage and disposal of wastes, some of which are classified as hazardous under applicable regulations. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1988 for the South Landfill at the Kokomo facility and post-closure monitoring and care is ongoing there. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1999 for the North Landfill at the Kokomo facility and post-closure monitoring and care are permitted and ongoing there. In fiscal 2007, IDEM issued a single post-closure permit applicable to both the North and South Landfills, which contains monitoring and post-closure care requirements. In addition, IDEM required that a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, Facility Investigation, or RFI, be conducted in order to further evaluate one area of concern and one solid waste management unit. The RFI commenced in fiscal 2008 and is ongoing.

 

The Company has also received permits from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, or NCDENR, to close and provide post-closure monitoring and care for the hazardous waste lagoon at its Mountain Home, North Carolina facility. The lagoon area has been closed and is currently undergoing post-closure monitoring and care. The Company is required to monitor groundwater and to continue post-closure maintenance of the former disposal areas at each site. As a result, the Company is aware of elevated levels of certain contaminants in the groundwater and additional corrective action by the Company could be required. In addition, in August, 2008, employees discovered an abnormal pH in the sump pumps located in containment pits in the wastewater treatment facility. After testing, it was determined that there was a leak in the pipeline from the cleaning house to the wastewater treatment facility. NCDENR was notified within 24 hours of the verification of the leak. To date, the state has not responded to this disclosure.

 

As of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the Company has accrued $1,448 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities. Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the 30 year post-closure monitoring period referred to above. At each fiscal year-end, or earlier if necessary, the Company evaluates the accuracy of the estimates for these monitoring and maintenance costs for the upcoming fiscal year. The accrual was based upon the undiscounted amount of the obligation of $1,884 which was then discounted using an appropriate discount rate.

 

All eligible hourly employees at the Kokomo plant and Lebanon, Indiana service center (approximately 49.9% or 504 in aggregate as of December 31, 2010) are covered by a collective bargaining agreement which will expire in June 2013. In September 2010, a majority of the 76 (81 at December 31, 2010) hourly employees at the Company’s Arcadia, Louisiana operations elected to be represented by the United Steelworkers of America, although no collective bargaining agreement is in place at this time and negotiations are ongoing.

 

**Note 7.  Deferred Revenue**

 

On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a twenty-year agreement to provide conversion services to Titanium Metals Corporation (“TIMET”) for up to ten million pounds of titanium metal annually. TIMET paid the Company a $50,000 up-front fee and will also pay the Company for its processing services during the term of the agreement (20 years) at prices established by the terms of the agreement.  TIMET may exercise an option to have ten million additional pounds of titanium converted annually, provided that it offers to loan up to $12,000 to the Company for certain capital expenditures which may be required to expand capacity.  In addition to the volume commitment, the Company has granted TIMET a security interest on its four-high steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements.  The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing).  The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium conversion services to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the Conversion Services Agreement.  The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including

the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the upfront fee.  The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. The portion of the upfront fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

**Note 8.    Intangible Assets**

 

The Company has patents, trademarks and other intangibles. As the patents have a definite life, they are amortized over lives ranging from two to fourteen years. As the trademarks have an indefinite life, the Company tests them for impairment at least annually. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value (determined by calculating a fair value based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. The Company has non-compete agreements with lives of 5 to 7 years. Amortization of the patents, non-competes and other intangibles was $140 and $137 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

 

The following represents a summary of intangible assets at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010:

Anti-dilutive shares with respect to outstanding stock options have been properly excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share.  Restricted stock issued to certain key employees is not included in the computation as the performance goal is deemed not yet achieved.

 

**Note 10.  Stock-Based Compensation**

 

**Restricted Stock Plan**

 

On February 23, 2009, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan that reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance.  Grants of restricted stock are rights to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee may set restrictions on certain grants based on the achievement of specific performance goals and vesting of grants to participants will also be time-based.

 

Restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the end of the vesting period or if the performance goal is not met, if applicable.  The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goal will be achieved. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The plan provides for the adjustment of the number of shares covered by an outstanding grant and the maximum number of shares of restricted stock that may be granted under the plan in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event.  Outstanding shares of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of common stock.

On November 24, 2010 and December 21, 2010, the Company granted 34,000 and 4,000 shares respectively, of restricted stock to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees will vest on the third anniversary of their grant date, provided that (a) the recipient is still an employee with the Company and (b) the Company has met a three year net income performance goal. The shares of restricted stock granted to directors will vest on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of grant or (b) the failure of such non-employee director to be re-elected at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company as a result of such non-employee director being excluded from the nominations for any reason other than cause. The fair value of the grants were $40.26 and $41.55, respectively, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day of the grant.

 

The following table summarizes the activity under the restricted stock plan for the three months ended December 31, 2010:

Compensation expense related to restricted stock for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 was $31 and $179, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2010 was $2,602 to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.61 years. Compensation expense is not being recorded on the March 31, 2009 grant of 25,600 shares granted to employees as it continues to be not probable that the performance goal will be achieved.

 

**Stock Option Plans**

 

The Company has two stock option plans that authorize the granting of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and non-employee directors for the purchase of a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The original option plan was adopted in August 2004 pursuant to the plan of reorganization and provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In January 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a second option plan that provides for options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each plan provides for the adjustment of the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, options granted under the option plans are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest 33 1/3% per year over three years from the grant date.

 

The fair value of option grants was estimated as of the date of the grant*.* The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates, expected forfeitures and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards. The expected forfeiture rate is based upon historical experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant.  Valuation of future grants under the Black-Scholes model will include a dividend yield. The following assumptions were used for grants in the first quarter of fiscal

**Note 12.  Fair Value Measurements**

 

On October 1, 2008, the Company adopted guidance for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  This guidance does not apply to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually until October 1, 2009.  This guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions that other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

·      Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

·      Level 2 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

·      Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally-generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued.

 

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010:

**Business Overview**

 

Haynes International, Inc. (“Haynes” or “the Company”) is one of the world’s largest producers of high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company is focused on developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing technologically advanced, high-performance alloys, which are sold primarily in the aerospace, chemical processing and land-based gas turbine industries. The global specialty alloy market consists of three primary sectors: stainless steel, general purpose nickel alloys and high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys. The Company competes primarily in the high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloy sector, which includes high temperature resistant alloys, or HTA products, and corrosion resistant alloys, or CRA products.  The Company believes it is one of four principal producers of high-performance alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company also produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, and in slab, bar, billet and wire forms.

 

The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Arcadia, Louisiana; and Mountain Home, North Carolina. The Kokomo facility specializes in flat products, the Arcadia facility specializes in tubular products and the Mountain Home facility specializes in high-performance wire products.  The Company distributes its products primarily through its direct sales organization, which includes 11 service and/or sales centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. All of these centers are company-operated.

**Significant Events**

 

*Upgrade of European Distribution*

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company began a project designed to improve the efficiency of its worldwide customer service capabilities. As part of this project, the Company is beginning to consolidate its European processing capabilities. The staging and processing of material that was taking place in Paris will be transferred to the Openshaw and Zurich service center facilities. The Paris operation will focus on sales and marketing activities. The cost of closing the warehouse portion of the Paris service center will be approximately $0.5 million, which was accrued in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The cost savings associated with this closure are expected to be approximately $1.3 million annually, along with a net inventory reduction in Europe estimated at $3.5 million.

 

*Production Headcount Additions*

 

The increasing level of our business, as reflected in the rising backlog, is causing us to increase production levels to meet customer requirements. The Company added 30 production employees on October 1, 2010. These new employees will begin to have a positive effect on production in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 after completing their training requirements. The cost of these new employees in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was approximately $0.6 million.

 

**Outlook**

 

*General*

 

Net revenues, volume and net income improved from quarter-to-quarter through fiscal 2010. Comparing the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, net revenues increased by $1.7 million, volume declined by 0.4 million pounds and net income decreased by $0.2 million. The 7.5% decline in volume from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was the result of fewer large project shipments in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, particularly in the “Other” market category and, to a lesser degree, in the chemical processing market, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The slightly lower net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 resulted from the items noted in both the Significant Events section and the Gross Profit Margin Performance section.

 

Management expects that demand for the Company’s products will continue to increase as market conditions improve, resulting in increased levels of net revenues, volume and net income.  Sequential improvement of net revenues, volume and net income is anticipated for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011.

 

*Backlog*

 

Order entry activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 drove the increase in backlog at December 31, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2010.  Backlog dollars were $167.0 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of approximately 12.8% from $148.0 million at September 30, 2010.  This increase is the result of a 15.2% increase in backlog pounds, which was partially offset by a 2.1% decline in backlog average selling price.

 

*Working Capital*

 

Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily as a result of increases in inventory due primarily to increased production requirements as a result of increasing backlog levels. Management expects inventory to remain at high levels in order to support the anticipated higher sales volumes in the second half of fiscal 2011.

*Competition and Pricing*

 

The Company continues to experience price competition in the marketplace, with the most severe price competition being predominantly associated with mill-direct project business. This competition continues to require the Company to aggressively price project business orders, which has unfavorably impacted the Company’s gross profit margin and net income. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company has, to a limited degree, been able to achieve improved product pricing as compared to prior periods.

 

Average selling price increased 8.3% between the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the first quarter of fiscal 2011. This increase reflects both a higher-priced mix of alloys and forms and an improvement in demand in the Company’s end markets. Current selling prices, although improving, continue to be impacted by both the competitive environment and the volatility of raw material prices, which will continue to temper price increases. If market conditions continue to improve, pricing competition in the high-performance alloy industry should continue to ease in future quarters.  The Company continues to respond to this competition by increasing emphasis on service centers, offering value-added services, improving its cost structure, and focusing on delivery-times and reliability.

 

**Gross Profit Margin Performance**

 

Gross profit margins and gross profit margin percentages have improved in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010  due to a combination of rising volume, an improved product mix, an improved cost structure and an improving market environment.  Service center transactional business volumes and prices have also improved, particularly in the aerospace market, due to the end of inventory destocking by the Company’s customers and an increase in the rate of airplane builds.

 

In the first quarter of each fiscal year, the gross margin is typically reduced due to lower absorption of fixed manufacturing cost caused by reduced production days due to holidays, vacations and planned equipment down-time for major capital upgrades and maintenance projects. The impact on gross margin of the reduced production in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 for these planned outages is estimated at $1.0 million.  In addition, gross margin was also negatively impacted by the items discussed in the Significant Events section above and the lower volumes discussed above.

(1)          The Company defines backlog to include firm commitments from customers for delivery of product at established prices. Approximately 30% of the orders in the backlog at any given time include prices that are subject to adjustment based on changes in raw material costs. Historically, approximately 75% of the backlog orders have shipped within six months and approximately 90% have shipped within 12 months. The backlog figures do not reflect that portion of the business conducted at service and sales centers on a spot or “just-in-time” basis.

(2)          Represents the average price for a cash buyer as reported by the London Metals Exchange for the 30 days ending on the last day of the period presented.

*Net Revenues.* Net revenues were $106.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 31.3% from $81.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2010.   Volume was 4.4 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 12.3% from 3.9 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2010.  The aggregate average selling price was $24.11 per pound in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 16.9% from $20.63 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2010.  Average selling price increased due to improved customer demand, improved product mix and rising raw material costs while volume increased due to improved customer demand.  The Company’s consolidated backlog was $167.0 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of 12.8% from $148.0 million at September 30, 2010.  This increase reflects a 15.2% increase in backlog pounds partially offset by a 2.1% decline in backlog average selling price.

 

Sales to the aerospace market were $44.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 57.0% from $28.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, due to a 13.5% increase in the average selling price per pound combined with a 38.2% increase in volume. The volume increase reflects both improving market demand and the end of the supply chain destocking process that started during the economic downturn. The increase in the average selling price per pound is due to increased customer demand and higher raw material costs.

 

Sales to the chemical processing market were $20.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of 1.1% from $20.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, due to a 20.9% decrease in volume,  which was partially offset by a 24.9% increase in the average selling price per pound.  Volume was affected by the project-oriented nature of the market where the comparisons of volume shipped between quarters can be affected by timing, quantity and order size of the project business, which also affects average selling price per pound.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, there was a higher level of project business for commodity alloy billet versus the comparable quarter of fiscal 2011, which increased volume and lowered average selling price per pound.

 

Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $21.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 43.9% from $15.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2010, due to an increase of 13.6% in the average selling price per pound combined with a 26.7% increase in volume. The increases in both volume and average selling price are due to improved original equipment manufacturer activity, primarily in the marine and pipeline applications of land-based gas turbines.

 

Sales to other markets were $15.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 16.3% from $13.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, due to a 15.4% increase in average selling price per pound combined with a 0.8% increase in volume.  The increase in the average selling price reflects a change to a higher value alloy mix shipped into the other markets in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

*Other Revenue.*Other revenue was $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 18.8% from $3.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. The increase is due primarily to higher miscellaneous and toll conversion sales.

 

*Cost of Sales.* Cost of sales was $88.5 million, or 83.2% of net revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $74.2 million, or 91.6% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2010. Cost of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by $14.3 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2010 due to higher volume, higher raw material costs and increased production staffing to meet increased product demand.  This increase was partially offset by increased absorption of fixed manufacturing costs caused by higher production volumes, particularly that of sheet product.

*Selling, General and Administrative Expense.* Selling, general and administrative expense was $9.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $0.9 million, or 11.4%, from $8.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2010 due to increased headcount and higher marketing costs as business improved plus the return to full salaries in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 8.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 10.1% for the same period of fiscal 2010 due primarily to increased revenues.

 

*Research and Technical Expense.* Research and technical expense was $0.8 million, or 0.7% of revenue, for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $0.1 million from $0.7 million, or 0.8% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2010.

 

*Operating Income (Loss).* As a result of the above factors, operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $8.0 million compared to operating loss of $(2.0) million in the same period of fiscal 2010.

 

*Income Taxes.* Income taxes were an expense of $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of $3.5 million from a benefit of $0.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2010, due to pretax income generated in fiscal 2011.  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 34.7%, compared to 35.5% in the same period of fiscal 2010.

 

*Net Income (Loss).* As a result of the above factors, net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.3 million, an increase of $6.6 million from a net loss of $(1.3) million in the same period of fiscal 2010.

 

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

 

*Comparative cash flow analysis*

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company’s primary sources of cash were cash on-hand and cash from operations as detailed below.  At December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $57.8 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $64.0 million at September 30, 2010.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $0.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2010.  Items contributing to the difference include cash provided by lower accounts receivable of $4.7 million which was $4.8 million higher than cash used from accounts receivable in the same period of fiscal 2010.  Cash used from increased inventory balances (net of foreign currency fluctuation) of $12.3 million was $8.6 million higher than cash used from inventory balances in the same period of fiscal 2010.  Inventory has increased to support the Company’s increased order entry, higher backlog levels and higher raw material costs. Cash generated from operations was favorably impacted by net income of $5.3 million, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. Net cash used in investing activities was $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $5.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as a result of lower capital expenditures.  Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 included a $2.4 million dividend payment.

 

*Future sources of liquidity*

 

The Company’s sources of cash for fiscal 2011 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on-hand, and, if needed, 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, 2010, the Company had cash of $57.8 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.

 

U.S. revolving credit facility: The Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (as successor by merger to Wachovia Capital Finance) (“Wells Fargo”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with an effective date of November 18, 2008, which amended and restated the revolving credit facility between Haynes and Wells Fargo dated August 31, 2004. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement is $120.0 million subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either

Wells Fargo, National Association’s “prime rate”, plus up to 2.25% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up to 3.0% per annum. As of December 31, 2010, the U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of zero. During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, it bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.00%. In addition, the Company must pay monthly in arrears a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay 2.5% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of all issued letters of credit, plus customary fees for issuance, amendments, and processing. The Company is subject to certain covenants as to fixed charge coverage ratios and other customary covenants, including covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the granting of liens, and the sale of assets. The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met. As of December 31, 2010, the most recent required measurement date under the Amended Agreement, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on September 30, 2011. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company, including the equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding the four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to Titanium Metals Corporation to secure the performance of the Company’s obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement. The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of a 65% equity interest in each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

 

*Future Uses of Liquidity*

 

The Company’s primary uses of cash over the next twelve months are expected to consist of expenditures related to funding operations, capital spending (detailed below), pension plan funding and dividends to stockholders.

 

At the beginning of fiscal 2010, the Company announced plans to spend, in total, approximately $85.0 million over fiscal years 2010 through 2014 on new strategic initiatives, routine capital maintenance projects and upgrading of the capabilities of the Company’s service centers. This amount includes approximately $30.0 million on upgrades to its four-high Steckel rolling mill and supporting equipment, approximately $25.0 million on other equipment purchases and upgrades and approximately $20.0 million on routine capital maintenance projects. In addition, the Company is finalizing plans to spend approximately $10.0 million over the course of fiscal 2011 and 2012 to upgrade, consolidate and enhance capabilities at its service center operations to improve customer service and return on assets at those operations. Management does not anticipate prolonged equipment outages as a result of upgrades for any of these projects. These projects are expected to improve quality, reduce operating costs, improve delivery performance, improve inventory turns and decrease cycle time. The target for capital spending in fiscal 2011 is $15.0 million, plus additional amounts for the upgrade of the Company’s service centers. Management estimates that spending on the service center project will be approximately $10.0 million over the course of fiscal 2011 and 2012.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

 

See Note2. New Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at December 31, 2010. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements, because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that information since the end of fiscal 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, there were no material changes in the market risks described in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

 

**Item 4.    Controls and Procedures**

 

The Company has performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness and the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010 in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
