- Delivered $90.0 million of adjusted operating income, up 29
percent sequentially and a record quarterly result
- Realized adjusted earnings per diluted share of $1.19
- Increased net sales excluding surcharge 14 percent
sequentially, driven by increasing sales in Aerospace and Defense
and Medical end-use markets
- Exceeded expectations in Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”)
segment with operating income of $103.5 million, up 24 percent
sequentially
- Delivered adjusted operating margin of 21.4 percent in the SAO
segment, up from 20.0 percent in the previous quarter
- Generated $83.4 million of cash from operating activities, or
$61.9 million of adjusted free cash flow
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook
- Increasing guidance for the fourth quarter to $110 million to
$115 million of operating income
- Expecting to generate over $100 million in adjusted free cash
flow in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024
- Estimating $339 million to $344 million in adjusted operating
income for fiscal year 2024; would achieve the most profitable year
on record
Longer Term Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook
- Pulling forward goal to achieve $460 million to $500 million in
operating income from fiscal year 2027 to fiscal year 2026
- Anticipate nearly 60 percent of growth towards this goal to be
realized in fiscal year 2024
- Strong market demand outlook for our broad portfolio of
specialized solutions
- Leading capabilities and capacity in place to achieve goal
- Expanding capacity via higher throughput while optimizing
product mix
“In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 we beat our previous
guidance, generating $90.0 million of adjusted operating income,”
said Tony R. Thene, President and CEO of Carpenter Technology. “The
strong third quarter performance is a record for the Company and is
the result of improved productivity, product mix optimization and
pricing actions. Notably, the SAO segment exceeded expectations,
reaching $103.5 million in operating income on higher sales and
expanding margins. As we continue to build operating momentum, we
are generating more cash, with $61.9 million in adjusted free cash
flow in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.”
“Building on our operating momentum, we are raising our guidance
for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and expect operating
income in the range of $110 million to $115 million. This is
approximately an 8 percent increase over our previous guidance and
roughly a 25 percent increase over the adjusted results of the
third quarter of fiscal year 2024. With the fourth quarter
guidance, we are projecting $339 million to $344 million in
adjusted operating income for fiscal year 2024, which would be the
most profitable year for the Company on record.”
“Our fiscal year 2024 projection represents a meaningful step
towards our fiscal year 2027 operating income goal, realizing
nearly 60 percent of the total opportunity in the first year. And
with accelerating earnings growth due to improving productivity and
expanding margins, we are pulling forward our fiscal year 2027 goal
and expect to achieve this in fiscal year 2026.”

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 were $684.9
million, compared with $690.1 million in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2023, a decrease of $5.2 million (or 1 percent), on a
12 percent decrease in shipment volume. Net sales excluding
surcharge were $553.8 million for the current quarter, an increase
of $62.3 million (or 13 percent) from the same period a year
ago.
Operating income was $75.9 million in the current quarter
compared to operating income of $39.3 million in the prior year
period. Adjusted operating income excluding the noncash special
item was $90.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.
Earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024
was $0.12 compared to earnings of $0.38 per diluted share in the
prior year third quarter. Excluding special items, adjusted
earnings per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024
was $1.19. These results primarily reflect an ongoing improvement
in product mix with a shift in capacity to more complex, higher
value materials as well as expanding operating efficiencies
compared to the prior year period.
Cash provided from operating activities in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2024 was $83.4 million compared to cash provided from
operating activities of $4.3 million in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted free cash flow in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024
was $61.9 million, compared to negative $16.2 million in the same
quarter last year. The operating cash flow and adjusted free cash
flow in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 reflect improved
earnings and less cash used for working capital needs compared to
the prior year period. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2024 were $21.6 million, compared to $20.5 million in
the same quarter last year.
Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance,
was $402.3 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year
2024. This consisted of $53.5 million of cash and $348.8 million of
available borrowing under the Company’s credit facility.
Special Items
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a
noncash pension settlement charge of $51.9 million as a result of
executing de-risking actions to annuitize certain pension plan
obligations. In addition, the Company recorded a noncash goodwill
impairment charge of $14.1 million related to the Latrobe
Distribution reporting unit in the Performance Engineered Products
segment.

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 the adjusted free cash flow measure
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. Historically, this
non-GAAP financial measure included cash used for dividends paid on
outstanding common stock and participating securities. Management
believes that excluding cash dividends paid from adjusted free cash
flow will provide a more direct comparison to operating cash flow,
a GAAP-defined financial measure. Fiscal year 2023 has been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
