NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.                                    Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results are reflected in the interim periods presented. The June 30, 2012 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Carpenter’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

 

As used throughout this report, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Carpenter”, the “Company”, “Registrant”, “Issuer”, “we” and “our” refer to Carpenter Technology Corporation.

 

2.                                    Acquisition

 

Latrobe Specialty Metals, Inc.

 

On February 29, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Latrobe Specialty Metals, Inc. (“Latrobe”) for a total purchase price of $427.0 million, net of cash acquired (the “Latrobe Acquisition”). The purchase price includes the issuance of 8.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock to former Latrobe stockholders in exchange for their Latrobe capital stock and $11.5 million of cash paid at closing, net of cash acquired of $2.5 million, to satisfy certain costs of the sellers. The fair value of the shares issued as part of the consideration paid for Latrobe was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s shares on the acquisition date. The Company also assumed $153.7 million of indebtedness which was paid off in cash concurrently with the closing of the acquisition.

 

Latrobe manufactures and distributes high-performance specialty metals serving customers across end-use markets including the aerospace and defense, energy and industrial markets. The manufacturing operations of Latrobe are based principally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

The goodwill recognized in connection with the Latrobe Acquisition consists of the value associated with the immediate increase in the Company’s premium melt capacity to meet strong customer demand, improvements in  the Company’s position in attractive end use markets such as aerospace and defense and energy, the complementary asset capabilities which the Company expects will lead to enriched, higher margin product mix and operating cost synergies as well as the capabilities for commercialization of new Carpenter products under development. None of the goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company conducted an annual impairment review for the goodwill associated with the Latrobe Acquisition as on February 28, 2013 and determined that there was no goodwil impairment.

 

In connection with the Latrobe Acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $11.7 million and $2.4 million of acquisition-related costs during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These costs were expensed as incurred and represent incremental legal, accounting and investment banking fees incurred in connection with the transaction as well as approximately $5.2 million of liability for costs associated with the sale of certain Latrobe assets necessary to obtain approval for the transaction from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). As part of the FTC approval, the Company entered into a consent decree to transfer assets and technical knowledge to Eramet S.A. and its subsidiaries, Aubert & Duval and Brown Europe, which will allow them to become a second manufacturer of two specific alloys in order to provide customers with a supply alternative in the marketplace.

 

The consolidated net sales for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 includes approximately $42.0 million of net sales related to the Latrobe business.  The Company’s operating income for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 includes approximately $5.1 million related to the operations of the acquired Latrobe business.

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the Latrobe Acquisition as if it had occurred as of July 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to the acquisition, such as the depreciation and amortization associated with estimates for the fair value of the property and equipment and acquired intangible assets and the impacts of the elimination of Latrobe debt that was repaid at closing. The supplemental proforma earnings were adjusted to exclude acquisition-related costs in the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012.

The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition.  Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information above is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated.

 

3.                                    Earnings Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the two class method.  Under the two class method, earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities (nonvested restricted shares and units that receive non-forfeitable dividends) according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings.  The earnings available to each class of stock is divided by the weighted average number of shares for the period in each class.  Because the participating securities have no obligation to share in net losses, losses are not allocated to the participating securities in this calculation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company made $143.3 million and $19.3 million, respectively of contributions to its defined benefit pension plans.  The Company currently expects to make approximately $90.0 million of contributions to its defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of fiscal year 2013.

 

8.                                    Debt

 

On February 26, 2013, the Company completed its offering and sale of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.45% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 4.45% per annum, with interest payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 and September 1, commencing September 1, 2013. The Notes will mature on March 1, 2023. The Notes will be senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all its existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to its future subordinated indebtedness.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to repay in full $100 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured notes due May 2013. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include discretionary pension contributions, additions to working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, the financing of acquisitions, joint ventures and other business combination opportunities or stock repurchases.

 

The Company has a $350 million syndicated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) that extends to June 2016. Interest on the borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue at variable rates, based upon LIBOR or a defined “Base Rate,” both determined based upon the rating of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt (the “Debt Rating”). The applicable margin to be added to LIBOR ranges from 0.65% to 1.95% (1.20% as of March 31, 2013), and for Base Rate-determined loans, from 0.0% to 0.95% (0.2% as of March 31, 2013). The Company also pays a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.45% (0.2% as of March 31, 2013), determined based upon the Debt Rating, of the $350 million commitment under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company must pay certain letter of credit fees, ranging from 0.65% to 1.95% (1.20% as of March 31, 2013), with respect to letters-of-credit issued under the Credit Agreement. The Company has the right to voluntarily prepay and reborrow loans and to terminate or reduce the commitments under the facility. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $7.2 million of issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, with the balance of $342.8 million available for future borrowings.

 

The Company is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Agreement, which, among other things, require the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.5 to 1.0 for March 31, 2013). The interest coverage ratio is defined in the Credit Agreement as, for any period, the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash net pension expense (“EBITDA”) to consolidated interest expense for such period. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a debt to capital ratio of less than 55%. The debt to capital ratio is defined in the Credit Agreement as the ratio of consolidated indebtedness, as defined therein, to consolidated capitalization, as defined therein. As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

9.                                    Contingencies and Commitments

 

Environmental

 

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations relating to pollution, protection of public health and the environment, natural resource damages and occupational safety and health.  Although compliance with these laws and regulations may affect the costs of the Company’s operations, compliance costs to date have not been material.  The Company has environmental remediation liabilities at some of its owned operating facilities and has been designated as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to certain third-party Superfund waste-disposal sites and other third party-owned sites.  Additionally, the Company has been notified that it may be a PRP with respect to other Superfund sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against the Company. Neither the exact amount of remediation costs nor the final method of their allocation among all designated PRP’s at these Superfund sites has been determined.  The liability for future environmental remediation costs is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis.  The Company accrues amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent management’s best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted future costs related to environmental remediation. During the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2013, no additional accruals were recorded.  The liabilities recorded for environmental remediation costs at Superfund sites, at other third party-owned sites and at Company-owned current or former operating facilities were $4.9 million at both March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

 

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are inherently imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of currently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the PRP's.  Based upon information currently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on Carpenter’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term.  However, such costs could be material to Carpenter’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

 

Boarhead Farms

 

In June 2002, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a group of plaintiffs in the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania titled Boarhead Farm Agreement Group v. Advanced Environmental Technology Corporation et al. (since amended to include the individual members).  The suit alleged that the Company and the other named defendants contributed to damages caused at Boarhead Farms, a Superfund site located in Bridgeton, Pennsylvania. The Boarhead Farms site was the home of a now defunct chemical and waste hauling company that the Company and many others engaged to dispose of certain wastes during the 1970’s. The plaintiff group was individually named as PRP’s for the Boarhead site in the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Record of Decision” in November 1998. Their June 2002 lawsuit against various defendants, including Carpenter, sought contributions for a portion of costs incurred for various site cleanup activities as well as contributions to future cleanup efforts.  The suit went to trial in June 2008.  Prior to trial, all of the named co-defendants, except for Carpenter, reached an out of court settlement with the plaintiffs.  Carpenter denied the claims made by the plaintiff group. On August 18, 2008, the Court awarded the plaintiffs judgment against the Company for 80 percent of the plaintiffs’ past costs of remediating the site, including prejudgment interest from June 18, 2002 to January 1, 2008, and held the Company liable for 80 percent of future costs of the cleanup activities at the site. The Company appealed the Court’s decision and oral arguments took place before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on December 17, 2009. On April 12, 2010, the

Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit vacated the previous judgment by the District Court and remanded the case for further proceedings. On July 19, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement providing for a dismissal of the lawsuit and a complete release, in the Company’s favor, by all parties to the litigation in exchange for a payment of $21.8 million, which the Company paid in September 2011. The Company expects that no additional liabilities will be incurred related to this matter.

 

Export Regulations Violations

 

During fiscal year 2008, the Company became aware of potential violations of federal export regulations at a business unit that had been recently divested.  Upon investigation, the Company discovered that approximately 40 foreign nationals employed over time at the business unit’s facility may have been exposed to protected technical data related to the production of various products for military applications.  An export license from the Department of State and the Department of Commerce is required prior to the exporting of technical data for military applications. The Company has applied for and received similar applications for other business units, but did not have such a license for the divested business unit. Violations of Federal export regulations can be subject to civil penalties depending upon the severity of the violation. The Company filed voluntary disclosures with the Department of State and the Department of Commerce before the divestiture of the business unit in March 2008.  The Department of State responded to the voluntary disclosure without assessing civil penalties.  The Department of Commerce has not responded to the voluntary disclosure.  The applicable statute of limitations for this matter has expired. As a result, the Company has not recorded any liability for potential penalties as of March 31, 2013 and does not expect to incur any liabilities related to this matter.

 

Other

 

The Company is defending various routine claims and legal actions that are incidental to its business, and that are common to its operations, including those pertaining to product claims, commercial disputes, patent infringement, employment actions, employee benefits, compliance with domestic and foreign laws, personal injury claims and tax issues.  Like many other manufacturing companies in recent years, from time to time, the Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to chemicals and substances in the workplace.  The Company provides for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.  The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company’s future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing (both as to recording future charges to operations and cash expenditures) of the resolution of such matters. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of these matters, management believes that the total liability from these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations will not be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 refers to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 refers to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Currently, the Company does not use Level 3 inputs.  The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of commodity forward contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. These instruments are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique.  The inputs to this technique utilize information related to foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers.  This is observable data; however, the valuation of these instruments is not based on actual transactions for the same instruments and, as such, these instruments are classified as Level 2. The Company’s use of derivatives and hedging policies are more fully discussed in Note 12.

 

The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments not listed in the table below approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

 

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Carpenter’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the financial statements were as follows:

The carrying amount for company-owned life insurance reflects cash surrender values based upon the market values of underlying securities, net of any outstanding policy loans. The carrying value associated with the cash surrender value of these policies is recorded in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The fair values of long-term debt as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 were determined by using current interest rates for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements and accordingly would be classified as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

12.                            Derivatives and Hedging Activities

 

The Company uses commodity swaps and forwards, interest rate swaps, forward interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards to manage risks generally associated with commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency rate fluctuations. The following explains the various types of derivatives and includes a recap about the impact the derivative instruments had on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Cash Flow Hedging – Commodity forward contracts: The Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of a portion of anticipated future purchases of certain critical raw materials and energy to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with volatile commodity prices. The commodity forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent effective, and reclassified to cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

 

Cash Flow Hedging – Forward interest rate swaps: From time to time, the Company has entered into forward interest rate swap contracts to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with fixed interest debt expected to be issued. The forward interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent effective, and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. In connection with the issuance of the $300.0 million of fixed rate notes during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, all outstanding forward interest rate swaps were settled resulting in a gain of $2.7 million that has been recognized in AOCI. This gain will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the notes.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash Flow Hedging – Foreign currency forward contracts: The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated future sales denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Euro and Pound Sterling, in order to offset the effect of changes in exchange rates. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent effective, and reclassified to net sales in the period during which the transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

 

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to protect certain short-term asset positions denominated in foreign currency against the effect of changes in exchange rates. These positions do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, are marked-to-market at each reporting date through charges to other income and expense.  As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forwards not designated as hedging instruments and the charges to income for changes in fair value for these contracts were not material.

 

Fair Value Hedging - Interest rate swaps: The Company uses interest rate swaps to achieve a level of floating rate debt relative to fixed rate debt where appropriate. The Company has designated fixed to floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges.  Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of these instruments are immediately recorded in earnings.  The mark-to-market values of both the fair value hedging instruments and the underlying debt obligations are recorded as equal and offsetting gains and losses in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of both March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the total notional amount of floating interest rate contracts was $45.0 million.  For both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, net gains of $0.4 million were recorded as a reduction to interest expense.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, net gains of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to interest expense.  These amounts include the impact of previously terminated swaps which are being amortized over the remaining term of the underlying debt.

 

The fair value and location of outstanding derivative contracts recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were as follows as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

The Company estimates that $7.5 million of net derivative losses included in AOCI as of March 31, 2013 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. No significant cash flow hedges were discontinued during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  There was no ineffectiveness during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The changes in AOCI associated with derivative hedging activities during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

According to the provisions of the Company’s derivative arrangements, in the event that the fair value of outstanding derivative positions with certain counterparties exceeds certain thresholds, the Company may be required to issue cash collateral to the counterparties. The Company’s contracts with these counterparties allow for netting of derivative instrument positions executed under each contract.  As of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company had no cash collateral held by counterparties.

 

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on its derivative instruments as well as credit or performance risk with respect to its customer commitments to perform. Although nonperformance is possible, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of the parties. In addition, various master netting arrangements are in place with counterparties to facilitate settlement of gains and losses on these contracts.

 

13.                            Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur.

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $16.3 million, or 33.1 percent of pre-tax income as compared with $18.8 million, or 36.3 percent of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, income tax expense was $52.2 million, or 33.1 percent of pre-tax income, as compared with income tax expense of $46.0 million, or 36.3 percent of pre-tax income, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  The current year includes tax benefits of $1.7 million related to the retroactive extension of the research and development credit and bonus depreciation. In addition, the current period tax provision includes $2.9 million of unfavorable impacts associated with the Company’s plans to make certain discretionary pension contributions.  The prior year periods were negatively impacted by a state tax exposure and non-deductible acquisition-related expenses associated with the Latrobe Acquisition.

14.                            Dissolution of Strategic Partnership

 

In November 2012, the Company dissolved its strategic partnership with Sandvik Materials Technology (“Sandvik”).  Prior to the dissolution of the strategic partnership, the Company owned a 40 percent interest in Sandvik Powdermet AB, which the Company accounted for as an equity method investment. In addition, Sandvik owned a 40 percent interest in Carpenter Powder Products AB which has historically been reported as a noncontrolling interest. Under the terms of the dissolution agreement, the Company received $7.9 million of proceeds from the sale of its investment in Sandvik Powdermet AB and paid $8.4 million to repurchase the shares of Carpenter Products AB from Sandvik.  The dissolution resulted in a $1.9 million gain related to the sale of the investment in Sandvik Powdermet during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. No gain or loss was recognized related to the repurchase of the Carpenter Powder Products AB shares.

 

15.                            Business Segments

 

The Company has three reportable segments, Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”), Latrobe, and Performance Engineered Products (“PEP”).  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company moved the Specialty Steel Supply (“SSS”) business acquired in connection with the Latrobe Acquisition from the Latrobe segment to the Performance Engineered Products segment.

 

The SAO segment is comprised of the Company's major premium alloy and stainless steel manufacturing operations. This includes operations performed at mills primarily in Reading, Pennsylvania and the surrounding area, South Carolina, and the new premium products manufacturing facility being built in Limestone County, Alabama.  The combined assets of the SAO operations are managed in an integrated manner to optimize efficiency and profitability across the total system.

 

The Latrobe segment is comprised of the operations of the Latrobe business acquired effective February 29, 2012. The Latrobe segment provides management with the focus and visibility into the business performance of these newly acquired operations. The Latrobe segment also includes the results of Carpenter’s distribution business in Mexico. As the Latrobe business becomes integrated with Carpenter, its results will likely be combined and reported together with the SAO business segment sometime in the future.

 

The PEP segment is comprised of the Company's differentiated operations.  This includes the Dynamet titanium business, the Carpenter Powder Products business, the Amega West business and the SSS distribution business that was acquired in connection with the Latrobe Acquisition.  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 service cost component of the Company’s net pension expense, which represents the estimated cost of future pension liabilities earned associated with active employees, is included in the operating income of the business segments.  The residual net pension expense, which 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.”

 

On a consolidated basis, there were no significant individual customers that accounted for more than 10 percent of the total net sales during the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
