PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 5, 2023--
Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCHN) today reported results for its second quarter of fiscal 2023 ended February 28, 2023.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights
Recycled metals demand and selling prices strengthened throughout the quarter in both the export and domestic markets amid stronger global steel demand, tight availability of scrap, strong rebar demand in Turkey, and inventory restocking. Sequential performance benefited from higher sales volumes and average net selling prices for recycled metals. The expansion in metals spreads in the higher price environment was limited by the tight supply flow environment. Compressed metal spreads on shipments contracted before the increase in market prices during the second half of the quarter offset the benefit from average inventory accounting of approximately $8 per ferrous ton. Our performance benefited from productivity initiatives and cost reductions to SG&A expense, which were partially offset by charges for various legal matters of approximately $3 million.
On a sequential basis, average net selling prices for ferrous and nonferrous metals increased by 8% and 10%, respectively. Ferrous sales volumes increased sequentially by 48%, benefiting from a drawdown of inventories, including several ferrous shipments that slipped from the previous quarter into December, and the resumption of full operations at the Everett and Oakland facilities in mid-November. Nonferrous sales volumes were up by 1% sequentially. Finished steel net selling prices and sales volumes were each lower sequentially by 7% due to seasonality and softer demand for wire rod products, while rolling mill utilization averaged 75% in the quarter.
Tamara Lundgren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our strong sequential performance improvement reflects strengthening demand and prices for recycled metals and the resolution of the operational disruptions we faced in the first quarter. We achieved these results and generated strong operating cash flow despite tighter than expected supply flows.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Review and Analysis
Second quarter performance reflects the full achievement of the $10 million quarterly run rate of productivity initiatives announced last October and approximately two-thirds of the quarterly run rate of $5 million of SG&A savings initiatives announced in January. These initiatives target mitigation of the impact of inflationary pressure on operating costs.
Operating cash flow was $88 million, driven by profitability and a decrease in net working capital due to lower inventories. Total debt at the end of the quarter was $310 million, and debt, net of cash, was $299 million (for a reconciliation of adjusted results and debt, net of cash, to U.S. GAAP, see the table provided in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section). Capital expenditures were $27 million in the quarter, including investments in advanced metal recovery technologies, maintaining the business and environmental-related projects. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was a benefit of approximately 15% on GAAP results and an expense of approximately 14% on adjusted non-GAAP results. During the second quarter, the Company returned capital to shareholders through its 116th consecutive quarterly dividend.
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.1875 per common share, payable May 8, 2023 to shareholders of record on April 24, 2023. Schnitzer has paid a dividend every quarter since going public in November 1993.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains performance based on adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations attributable to SSI shareholders, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ferrous ton, and adjusted selling, general, and administrative expense which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these measures for each period discussed to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures adds a meaningful presentation of our results from business operations excluding adjustments for restructuring charges and other exit-related activities, business development costs not related to ongoing operations including pre-acquisition expenses, charges for legacy environmental matters (net of recoveries), asset impairment charges, and the income tax benefit allocated to these adjustments, items which are not related to underlying business operational performance, and improves the period-to-period comparability of our results from business operations. We believe that presenting debt, net of cash is useful to investors as a measure of our leverage, as cash and cash equivalents can be used, among other things, to repay indebtedness. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, and often contain words such as “outlook,” “target,” “aim,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “assumes,” “estimates,” “evaluates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “opinions,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “future,” “forward,” “potential,” “probable,” and similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
We may make other forward-looking statements from time to time, including in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, presentations, and on public conference calls. All forward-looking statements we make are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.

Some of these risks and uncertainties are discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Examples of these risks include: potential environmental cleanup costs related to the Portland Harbor Superfund site or other locations; the impact of equipment upgrades, equipment failures, and facility damage on production; failure to realize or delays in realizing expected benefits from capital projects, including investments in processing and manufacturing technology improvements; the cyclicality and impact of general economic conditions; the impact of inflation, rising interest rates, and foreign currency fluctuations; changing conditions in global markets including the impact of sanctions and tariffs, quotas, and other trade actions and import restrictions; increases in the relative value of the U.S. dollar; economic and geopolitical instability including as a result of military conflict; volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for raw materials and other inputs we purchase; significant decreases in recycled metal prices; imbalances in supply and demand conditions in the global steel industry; difficulties associated with acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; supply chain disruptions; reliance on third-party shipping companies, including with respect to freight rates and the availability of transportation; the impact of goodwill impairment charges; the impact of long-lived asset and equity investment impairment charges; the impact of pandemics, epidemics, or other public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; inability to achieve or sustain the benefits from productivity, cost savings, and restructuring initiatives; inability to renew facility leases; customer fulfillment of their contractual obligations; potential limitations on our ability to access capital resources and existing credit facilities; restrictions on our business and financial covenants under the agreement governing our bank credit facilities; the impact of consolidation in the steel industry; product liability claims; the impact of legal proceedings and legal compliance; the adverse impact of climate change; the impact of not realizing deferred tax assets; the impact of tax increases and changes in tax rules; the impact of one or more cybersecurity incidents; translation risks associated with fluctuation in foreign exchange rates; inability to obtain or renew business licenses and permits; environmental compliance costs and potential environmental liabilities; increased environmental regulations and enforcement; compliance with climate change and greenhouse gas emission laws and regulations; the impact of labor shortages or increased labor costs; reliance on employees subject to collective bargaining agreements; and the impact of the underfunded status of multiemployer plans in which we participate.
