    • 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.

    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 share adjusted to exclude the impact of the 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 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.
