=============== ============== =============== ==============
THREE- AND SIX- MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS. THREE-AND
SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
The increase in net sales for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the similar periods in 1995 reflects the operating results
of the PRP Business and VAR Assets that were acquired in June 1995, and an
increase in shipments of tool steel. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in sales to the Reroller market as a result of generally soft market
conditions in that area due to imports.
Cost of products sold, as a percent of net sales, was 80.2% and 85.1% for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and was 82.2%
and 87.2% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
This improvement is primarily due to lower acquisition costs for the Company's
primary raw materials which was partially offset by the level of manufacturing
required by the mix of products sold in 1996. First quarter 1996 results were
also adversely affected by lower than expected manufacturing yields experienced
on production of both tool steel and forging billets. During the three-month
period ended June 30, 1996, manufacturing yields returned to, and in certain
areas exceeded, the manufacturing yields experienced in 1995.
Selling and administrative expenses increased from $864,000 and $1,510,000 in
the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 to $1,371,000 and
$2,374,000 in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996. The
increases primarily relate to insurance costs and the addition of personnel as
a result of the continued growth of the business, including the acquisition of
the PRP Business and VAR Assets.
Operating income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996
included a one-time pretax charge of $153,000 for the issuance of common stock
to 117 company employees.
Interest and other income increased to $60,000 and $165,000 in the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $32,000 and $72,000 in the
three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 due to an increase in cash
available for investing purposes. The increased cash availability is directly
related to the sale of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock in a public offering
completed in November 1995. In addition, the Company did not borrow funds under
its $6.5 million revolving line of credit which resulted in a decrease in
interest and other financing costs from $125,000 and $202,000 in the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 to $37,000 and $61,000 in the three-and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1996.
The effective income tax rates utilized in the three-and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were 38.0% and 27.0%, respectively. The lower
effective income tax rate in the 1995 periods reflect the recognition of the
benefit of net operating loss carryforwards generated in 1994. The effective
income tax rate was ultimately adjusted to 8.1% based on the actual results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Financial Condition
The Company has primarily financed its 1996 activities to date through cash
flows from operations and cash on hand at the beginning of the period. The
ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased from 4.0:1 at December
31, 1995 to 2.6:1 at June 30, 1996 primarily due to the funding of capital
expenditures during 1996.
Accounts receivable, net increased by $4.7 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to an increase of $6.1 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995. Inventory increased by $3.3 million for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to an increase of $0.8
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. Accounts payable and bank
overdrafts increased by $3.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
1996 as compared to an increase of $2.3 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1995. Each of these increases can be primarily attributed to the
continued growth of the business since its formation in August 1994.
The increase in long term debt is due to the issuance of a $400,000 loan from
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Business Infrastructure Development Program
in March 1996 and a $200,000 loan from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's
Economic Development Program in April 1996. The Company also entered into a
$270,000, 5-year capital lease for mobile equipment in June 1996.
The Company maintains a $6.5 million revolving credit facility through April
1998. In addition, the Company continues to seek low-interest government
financing opportunities to supplement the liquidity available to fund its
capital expenditures. In August 1996, the Company executed a commitment letter
with the County of Allegheny's Department of Development to enter into a $1.5
million, 10-year loan agreement at a 6% interest rate.
Capital Expenditure Program
The Company's capital expenditures approximated $5.1 million in the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, bringing aggregate expenditures under its 1995-96
capital expenditures program to $7.2 million. At June 30, 1996, the Company has
outstanding purchase commitments in addition to the expenditures incurred to
date of approximately $4.1 million. Planned projects at the Company's Melt
Shop, Electro-Slag Remelt Shop and Universal Rolling Mill are in process and
are expected to provide full benefit to the Company in the 1996 fourth quarter.
In the opinion of the Company's management, the most important capital
expenditures planned for 1996 were the acquisition of an oil quench facility
for heat treatment of power generation products and a roller leveler to flatten
plate products. These acquisitions would significantly reduce, if not
eliminate, the Company's dependence on outside conversion sources for these
critical processing steps. The acquisition of the oil quench facility has been
delayed due to the uncertainties surrounding the Company's level of
participation in the power generation market. The Company continues to hold
substantive discussions with its major power generation customers to seek a
better understanding of the long-term prospects to justify proceeding with this
project. The roller leveler was delivered in August 1996 and is expected to
begin processing material projected for September shipment.
1996 Outlook
The soft market conditions experienced in the Reroller market segment during
1996 continue due to pressure from imports of rod, wire, bar and slab products.
Strong growth in the sales of tool steel products, entry into certain finished
bar product niches, and steady performance by our forging billet and Titusville
special shapes businesses are expected to partially offset the lower Reroller
market sales activity. In light of several factors including the additional
capacity for higher margin tool steel that will be available in August and
other benefits derived from our capital expenditure program, plus the
introduction of finished bar products, the Company expects second half results
to be greater than those achieved in the first half of the year.
