Schnitzer Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
Operating Income Increased 23% and Diluted EPS Increased 16% Sequentially
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2012--Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCHN) today reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.40 for its fiscal 2012 third quarter ended May 31, 2012, an increase of 16% from $0.35 reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company generated $95 million in operating cash flow during the third quarter and reduced total debt to total capital to 24%, down from 27% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
These results exceeded the third quarter market outlook we previously provided. In our Metals Recycling Business, operating income per ton of $13 was higher than anticipated due to benefits from higher production and lower cost of goods sold. Our Auto Parts Business and Steel Manufacturing Business also performed slightly better than the outlook. Corporate costs were lower by $1 million sequentially due to reduced compensation accruals.

"Our consolidated third quarter operating income improved 23% from the second quarter, primarily due to our Auto Parts Business which benefited from higher parts sales and lower SG&A, achieving a 6% sequential growth in revenues and a 44% increase in operating income," said Tamara Lundgren, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In our Metals Recycling Business and Steel Manufacturing Business, results reflected relatively stable volumes and a flat selling price environment. However, all of our divisions continue to be impacted by challenging market conditions resulting from the global economic slowdown."
"Our ability to generate strong operating cash flow has enabled us to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases during the quarter and a substantial increase in our quarterly dividend which we announced last quarter. At the same time, we have been able to continue investing in growth projects while steadily reducing total debt outstanding," Lundgren said.

Sales Volumes: Ferrous sales volumes were 1.4 million tons, approximating the second quarter. Nonferrous sales volumes were 154 million pounds, a decline of 9% compared to the higher than normal second quarter level which included benefits of processing backlog material. On a year-to-date basis, ferrous volumes increased 4% and nonferrous volumes increased 22% compared to the prior year.
Export customers accounted for 77% of total ferrous sales volumes. Our ferrous and nonferrous products were shipped to 19 countries in the third quarter. The top ferrous export destinations were Turkey, South Korea and China. The top nonferrous markets were China, the United States and South Korea.
Pricing: Average ferrous prices were flat, compared to prices in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Average nonferrous prices increased 7%, compared to prices in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Margins: Operating income was $18 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, which equates to operating income per ferrous ton of $13, a decrease of $2 compared to the second quarter fiscal 2012. Operating margins increased from our market outlook due to higher production and to lower than forecasted cost of goods sold, including purchase prices and freight costs, among other items. However, operating margins remain compressed as a result of the weak economic environment in the U.S.
Auto Parts Business
Our Auto Parts Business delivered increased volumes, revenues and operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the prior quarter.

Revenues: Revenues increased 6% from the prior quarter due to higher parts sales and admissions, while scrap and core revenues were essentially in line with the second quarter.
Margins: Operating margins of 15% reflected improved volumes sequentially, as well as seasonal benefits on parts sales and admissions, and lower SG&A expenses, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Steel Manufacturing Business
In the third quarter, our Steel Manufacturing Business achieved break-even operating income.

Sales Volumes: Finished steel sales volumes of 103 thousand tons decreased 8% from the prior quarter.
Pricing: Average net sales prices for finished steel products increased slightly from the prior quarter due to product mix.
Margins: Slightly higher sales prices and lower production costs offset reduced sales volumes, resulting in break-even operating performance.
Market Conditions
Since the end of the third quarter, prices for recycled metals have declined significantly. As average inventory costs typically decline more slowly than the cash purchase costs for raw materials, this may negatively impact our fourth quarter results. The Company intends to provide its fourth quarter market outlook on expected pricing, volumes and margins during the second half of August 2012.
Corporate Items
The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter was 39.3%, compared to 31.5% for the second quarter, primarily due to lower financial performance in foreign operations which are taxed at more favorable rates. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year is expected to be approximately 34%.
During the quarter the Company repurchased 555 thousand shares of its Class A Common Stock for a total cost of $15 million. Of the shares repurchased, 425 thousand ($12 million) settled in the third quarter, with the remainder to be reflected in our fourth quarter financial statements. Under authorities granted by our Board of Directors, 2.6 million shares remain available for repurchase.
Despite share repurchases and higher dividend payments, total debt decreased by $56 million to $358 million, in the third quarter from the second quarter reflecting strong operating cash flows.
Analysts' Conference Call: Third Quarter of Fiscal 2012
A conference call and slide presentation to discuss results will be held today, June 28, 2012, at 11:30 a.m. EST hosted by Tamara Lundgren, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Richard Peach, Chief Financial Officer. The call and the slides will be webcast and accessible on the Company's website at www.schnitzersteel.com.

Safe Harbor for Forward Looking Statements
This press release, particularly the Outlook sections, contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s outlook for the business and statements as to expected pricing, sales volumes, operating margins, tax rates and benefits of acquisitions and processing technologies. Such statements can generally be identified because they contain “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and other words that convey a similar meaning. One can also identify these statements as statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Examples of factors affecting the Company that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include: potential environmental cleanup costs related to the Portland Harbor Superfund site; volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for both our products and raw materials we purchase; difficulties associated with acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; the impact of goodwill impairment charges; the inability of customers to fulfill their contractual obligations; the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; potential limitations on our ability to access credit facilities; the impact of the consolidation in the steel industry; the impact of imports of foreign steel into the U.S.; inability to realize expected benefits from investments in technology; freight rates and availability of transportation; product liability claims; costs associated with compliance with environmental regulations; the adverse impact of climate change; inability to obtain or renew business licenses and permits; compliance with greenhouse gas emission regulations; reliance on employees subject to collective bargaining agreements; and the impact of the underfunded status of multiemployer plans in which we participate, as discussed in more detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. One should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s forward-looking statements. Consequently, the reader should not consider any such list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. All forward-looking statements we make are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law.
