PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE: CRS) (the "Company") today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $6.2 million, or $0.13 earnings per diluted share.
"The second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was a meaningful step on our path back to pre-pandemic levels and further long-term growth," said Tony R. Thene, President and CEO of Carpenter Technology. "Our return to profitability was driven by ongoing strong demand in each of our end-use markets, as evidenced by the continued growth of our backlog, and increased throughput across our manufacturing facilities."
"The Specialty Alloys Operations ('SAO') segment demonstrated continued improvement with operating income of $30.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. The results for SAO were driven by the ongoing aerospace ramp and our focus on increasing our productivity and throughput. The Performance Engineered Products ('PEP') segment had another strong quarter with operating income of $9.3 million, led by our Dynamet Titanium and Additive businesses."
"Looking ahead, we remain confident in our growth trajectory. We continue to see strong demand across each of our end-use markets and are focused on driving operational improvements. As a result, we expect to realize accelerating sales momentum and improved margins."

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $579.1 million, compared with $396.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, an increase of $183.1 million (or 46 percent), on a 17 percent increase in shipment volume. Net sales excluding surcharge were $420.8 million, an increase of $105.9 million (or 34 percent) from the same period a year ago.
Operating income was $22.6 million compared to operating loss of $31.5 million in the prior year period. Earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $0.13 compared to loss of $0.61 per share in the prior year quarter. Excluding the special item, adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was loss of $0.58. The improvement in operating income and earnings per share is primarily the result of increased shipments as activity levels continued to ramp to meet improving market conditions in key end-use markets compared to the prior year period.
Cash used for operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $86.4 million compared to $89.2 million in the same quarter last year. Free cash flow in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was negative $113.7 million, compared to negative $116.3 million in the same quarter last year. The operating cash flow and free cash flow performance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 reflects improved earnings offset by higher cash used for inventory to meet growing demand. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 were $17.5 million, compared to $19.1 million in the same quarter last year.
Total liquidity, including cash and available revolver balance, was $237.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. This consisted of $20.0 million of cash and $217.0 million of available borrowing 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 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 and is included in other expense (income), net.

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.
