NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with information reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC related to interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim periods. The results of operations for the three or six months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 or any interim period.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haynes International, Inc. and its directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
No new accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company were issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Note 4. Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, differing tax rates on foreign earnings and discrete tax items that impacted income tax expense in these periods. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 4.7% compared to 34.5% in the same period of fiscal 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in the Indiana tax rate, which resulted in a decrease to the deferred tax asset, which caused a charge to tax expense in the amount of $330 in March 2014. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was 31.1% compared to 31.6% in the same period of fiscal 2013.

The Company contributed $1,250 to Company sponsored domestic pension plans, $2,023 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $500 to the U.K. pension plan for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The Company presently expects future contributions of zero to its domestic pension plans, $2,800 to its other post-retirement benefit plans and $470 to the U.K. pension plan for the remainder of fiscal 2014.
Note 6. Legal, Environmental and Other Contingencies
The Company is regularly involved in litigation, both as a plaintiff and as a defendant, relating to its business and operations, including environmental, employment and intellectual property matters. Future expenditures for environmental, employment, intellectual property and other legal matters cannot be determined with any degree of certainty; however, based on the facts presently known, management does not believe that such costs will have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is currently, and has in the past been, subject to claims involving personal injuries allegedly relating to its products. For example, the Company is presently involved in two actions involving welding rod-related injuries, which were filed in California state court against numerous manufacturers, including the Company, in May 2006 and February 2007, respectively, alleging that the welding-related products of the defendant manufacturers harmed the users of such products through the inhalation of welding fumes containing manganese. The Company believes that it has defenses to these allegations and that, if the Company were to be found liable, the cases would not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company has received permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, to close and to provide post-closure monitoring and care for certain areas at the Kokomo facility previously used for the storage and disposal of wastes, some of which are classified as hazardous under applicable regulations. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1988 for the South Landfill at the Kokomo facility, and post-closure monitoring and care is ongoing there. Closure certification was received in fiscal 1999 for the North Landfill at the Kokomo facility, and post-closure monitoring and care are permitted and ongoing there. In fiscal 2007, IDEM issued a single post-closure permit applicable to both the North and South Landfills, which contains monitoring and post-closure care requirements. In addition, IDEM required that a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, Facility Investigation, or RFI, be conducted in order to further evaluate one area of concern and one solid waste management unit. The RFI commenced in fiscal 2008 and is ongoing. A post-closure permit renewal was issued in fiscal 2013.
The Company has also received permits from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, or NCDENR, to close and provide post-closure monitoring and care for the hazardous waste lagoon at its Mountain Home, North Carolina facility. The lagoon area has been closed and is currently undergoing post-closure monitoring and care. The Company is required to monitor groundwater and to continue post-closure maintenance of the former disposal areas at each site. As a result, the Company is aware of elevated levels of certain contaminants in the groundwater and additional corrective action by the Company could be required.
On August 3, 2012, the Company received an information request from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, relating to the Companys compliance with laws relating to air quality. The Company has responded to the request, and there has been no further action by the EPA.
As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company has accrued $845 for post-closure monitoring and maintenance activities. Accruals for these costs are calculated by estimating the cost to monitor and maintain each post-closure site and multiplying that amount by the number of years remaining in the 30 year post-closure monitoring period referred to above. At each fiscal year end, or earlier if necessary, the Company evaluates the accuracy of the estimates for these monitoring and maintenance costs for the upcoming fiscal year. The accrual was based upon the undiscounted amount of the obligation of $1,077 which was then discounted using an appropriate discount rate.
Note 7. Deferred Revenue
On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a twenty-year agreement to provide conversion services to Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) for up to ten million pounds of titanium metal annually. TIMET paid the Company a $50,000 up-front fee and will also pay the Company for its processing services during the term of the agreement (20 years) at prices established by the terms of the agreement. TIMET may exercise an option to have ten million additional pounds of titanium converted annually, provided that it offers to loan up to $12,000 to the Company for certain capital expenditures which may be required to expand capacity. In addition to the volume commitment, the Company has granted TIMET a first priority security interest in its four-high Steckel rolling mill, along with rights of access if the Company enters into bankruptcy or defaults on any financing arrangements. The Company has agreed not to manufacture titanium products (other than cold reduced titanium tubing). The Company has also agreed not to provide titanium hot-rolling conversion services using the 4-high mill to any entity other than TIMET for the term of the Conversion Services Agreement. The agreement contains certain default provisions which could result in contract termination and damages, including liquidated damages of $25.0 million and the Company being required to return the unearned portion of the up-front fee. The Company considered each provision and the likelihood of the occurrence of a default that would result in liquidated damages. Based on the nature of the events that could trigger the liquidated damages clause, and the availability of the cure periods set forth in the agreement, the Company determined and continues to believe that none of these circumstances are reasonably likely to occur. Therefore, events resulting in liquidated damages have not been factored in as a reduction to the amount of revenue recognized over the life of the contract. The cash received of $50,000 is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the 20-year term of the agreement. If an event of default occurred and was not cured within any applicable grace period, the Company would recognize the impact of the liquidated damages in the period of default and re-evaluate revenue recognition under the contract for future periods. The portion of the up-front fee not recognized in income is shown as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet.
Note 8. Intangible Assets
The Company has patents, trademarks and other intangibles. As the patents have a definite life, they are amortized over lives ranging from two to fourteen years. The Company reviews patents for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a patent may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the patent asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.
As the trademarks have an indefinite life, the Company tests them for impairment at least annually as of August 31 (the annual impairment testing date). If the carrying value exceeds the fair value (determined by calculating a fair value based upon a discounted cash flow of an assumed royalty rate), impairment of the trademark may exist, resulting in a charge to earnings to the extent of the impairment. No impairment was recognized in the years ended September 30, 2012 or 2013 because the fair value exceeded the carrying values. The Company also has non-compete agreements with a remaining life of 1.25 years.
Amortization of the patents, non-competes and other intangibles was $103 and $104 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $208 and $208 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Note 9. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company accounts for earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Non-vested restricted stock awards that include non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. As a result of the loss in second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2014, no additional common shares or restricted stock awards are included because their effect is antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted Stock Plan
On February 23, 2009, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan that reserved 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance. Grants of restricted stock are grants of shares of the Companys common stock subject to transfer restrictions, which vest in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may set vesting requirements based on the achievement of specific performance goals or the passage of time.
Restricted shares are subject to forfeiture if employment or service terminates prior to the vesting period or if the performance goal is not met. The Company will assess, on an ongoing basis, the probability of whether the performance criteria will be achieved. The Company will recognize compensation expense over the performance period if it is deemed probable that the goal will be achieved. The fair value of the Companys restricted stock is determined based upon the closing price of the Companys common stock on the grant date. The plan provides for the adjustment of the number of shares covered by an outstanding grant and the maximum number of shares for which restricted stock may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event.
On November 26, 2013 and December 2, 2013, the Company granted 34,700 and 3,000 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees will vest on the third anniversary of their grant date, provided that (a) the recipient is still an employee of the Company and (b) the Company has met a three-year net income performance goal, if applicable. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors will vest on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of grant or (b) the failure of such non-employee director to be re-elected at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company as a result of such non-employee director being excluded from the nominations for any reason other than cause. The fair value of the grants were $52.78 and $54.22 per share, respectively, the closing price of the Companys common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the applicable grant.
The following table summarizes the activity under the restricted stock plan for the six months ended March 31, 2014:

Compensation expense related to restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 was $387 and $486, respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 was $503 and $811, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2014 was $2,563, to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.36 years. In the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 6,284 shares of stock from employees at an average purchase price paid per share of $53.38 to satisfy required employee-owned taxes on stock-based compensation.
Stock Option Plans
The Company has two stock option plans that authorize the granting of non-qualified stock options to certain key employees and non-employee directors for the purchase of a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The original option plan was adopted in August 2004 pursuant to the plan of reorganization and provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. In January 2007, the Companys Board of Directors adopted a second option plan that provides for options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Each plan provides for the adjustment of the maximum number of shares for which options may be granted in the event of a stock split, extraordinary dividend or distribution or similar recapitalization event. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, options granted under the option plans are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and vest 331/3% per year over three years from the grant date. The amount of compensation cost recognized in the financial statements is measured based upon the grant date fair value.
The fair value of option grants was estimated as of the date of the grant. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates, expected forfeitures and dividend yields. The volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the stock option granted. The Company uses historical volatility because management believes such volatility is representative of prospective trends. The expected term of an award is based on historical exercise data. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the awards. The expected forfeiture rate is based upon historical experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Companys history and expectations regarding dividend payouts at the time of the grant. Valuation of future grants under the Black-Scholes model will include a dividend yield. The following assumptions were used for grants in the first quarter of fiscal 2014:

On November 26, 2013, the Company granted 45,250 options at an exercise price of $52.78, the fair market value of the Companys common stock the day of the grant. During the first six months of fiscal 2014, 38,895 options were exercised.
The stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 was $107 and $121, and for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 was $209 and $233, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2014 was $857, to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.77 years.

Note 11. Dividend
In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend. The dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Companys common stock was paid March 17, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2014. The dividend cash pay-out was $2,725 for the quarter based on the number of shares outstanding.
On May 8, 2014, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Companys common stock. The dividend is payable June 16, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 2, 2014.
Note 12. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value.
· Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
· Level 2 Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
· Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
When available, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value and classifies such items within Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally-developed models that use, where possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Items valued using internally-generated models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. If quoted market prices are not available, the valuation model used depends on the specific asset or liability being valued. Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents of $68,326 and $62,083 as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively, are considered Level 1.
Note 13. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component
Comprehensive income (loss) includes changes in equity that result from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) items, including pension and foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax when applicable.

Business Overview
Haynes International, Inc. (Haynes or the Company) is one of the worlds largest producers of high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys in sheet, coil and plate forms. The Company is focused on developing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing technologically advanced, high-performance alloys, which are sold primarily in the aerospace, chemical processing and land-based gas turbine industries. The Companys products consist of high-temperature resistant alloys, or HTA products, and corrosion-resistant alloys, or CRA products. HTA products are used by manufacturers of equipment that is subjected to extremely high temperatures, such as jet engines, gas turbine engines, and industrial heating and heat treatment equipment. CRA products are used in applications that require resistance to very corrosive media found in chemical processing, power plant emissions control and hazardous waste treatment. Management believes Haynes is one of the principal producers of high-performance alloy flat products in sheet, coil and plate forms, and sales of these forms, in the aggregate, represented approximately 61% of net product revenues in fiscal 2013. The Company also produces its products as seamless and welded tubulars, and in slab, bar, billet and wire forms.
The Company has manufacturing facilities in Kokomo, Indiana; Arcadia, Louisiana; and Mountain Home, North Carolina. The Kokomo facility specializes in flat products, the Arcadia facility specializes in tubular products, and the Mountain Home facility specializes in wire products. The Companys products are sold primarily through its direct sales organization, which includes 13 service and/or sales centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. All of these centers are Company-operated.
Dividends Paid and Declared
In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company declared and paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per outstanding share of the Companys common stock. The dividend was paid March 17, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2014. The dividend cash pay-out was approximately $2.7 million for the quarter based on the number of shares outstanding, and equal to approximately $10.9 million on an annualized basis. For the six months ended March 31, 2014, dividend cash payouts were $5.4 million.
On May 8, 2014, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per
outstanding share of the Companys common stock. The dividend is payable June 16, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 2, 2014.
Capital Spending
A key element of the Companys business strategy is to capitalize on strategic equipment investments. Although the markets in which the Company participates recently experienced a period of lower demand, management continues to believe in the long-term growth potential of the aerospace, land-based gas turbine and chemical processing markets. Therefore, the Company is continuing to implement the previously announced capital spending projects in line with plans to meet the expected long-term growth requirements of those target markets. Capital spending in the first six months of fiscal 2014 was approximately $24.3 million, and the forecast for capital spending in fiscal 2014 is approximately $57.0 million. The capital spending planned for fiscal 2014 includes $18.8 million for the Arcadia tubular project, $8.8 million for the Kokomo flat product project, $15.0 million for the processing and service center upgrades, $2.7 million for the information systems upgrade project and the remaining $11.7 million for additional enhancements and upgrades of current facilities and equipment.
The actual and planned capital investments of approximately $124.5 million over the three-year period of fiscal 2012 through 2014 are expected to allow the Company to increase capacity, enhance product quality, reduce costs and improve working capital management. These significant investments are necessitated by expected intermediate and long-term increasing customer demand for volume and quality improvements.
Volumes, Competition and Pricing
Business conditions continue to be challenging, but appear to be improving. The Companys backlog improved 12.3% through the second quarter, along with net sales increasing 23.1% sequentially from the first quarter. Throughout the first quarter and a portion of the second quarter, the Company experienced reduced demand and reduced selling prices due to nickel market prices and increased price competition in the marketplace, particularly in commodity-type alloys. The intense competitive environment required the Company to aggressively price orders across all markets, which unfavorably impacted the Companys gross profit margin and net income. In addition, sales volumes below mill capacities in the industry reduced mill-direct lead times. The decline in mill-direct lead times has, in turn, resulted in downward pressure on prices for service center transactional business, which typically commands a higher price due to faster product availability. In the second quarter, the Company began to see higher transactional business through its service centers, and mills in the industry are beginning to experience higher volumes.
Over the course of fiscal year 2013 and the beginning of fiscal year 2014, the market price of nickel declined, which can cause customers to delay orders for the Companys products because the Company generally passes the cost of nickel on to customers in the price of its products. As nickel prices decline, customers may delay ordering in order to receive a lower price in the future. In the latter part of the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the market price of nickel began increasing, which typically accelerates the ordering patterns of the Companys customers. Customer demand is beginning to solidify, and management believes that destocking within the aerospace and land-based gas turbine supply chains may be coming to an end. The Company has announced price increases in response to the strengthening business conditions. While these price increases should expand margins in the second half of the year, product shipped out of the backlog contains competitively priced orders that continue to pressure gross margins.
The Company values inventory utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory costing methodology. Under the FIFO inventory costing method, the cost of materials included in cost of sales may be different than the current market price at the time of sale of finished product due to the length of time from the acquisition of the raw material to the sale of the finished product. In a period of decreasing raw material costs, the FIFO inventory valuation normally results in higher costs of sales as compared to the last-in, first out method. Conversely, in a period of rising raw material costs, the FIFO inventory valuation normally results in lower costs of sales.

The gross margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $9.1 million or 7.9% of net revenues, a reduction of $11.0 million from the $20.1 million or 15.5% of net revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Increased price competition is estimated to account for approximately $8.8 million of the decrease with the remaining difference of $2.2 million attributable to changes in product mix and unfavorable variances such as higher spending for natural gas and electricity during the winter. Also impacting margin in the second quarter was a fixed priced nickel agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase a portion of its nickel supply at a fixed price that proved to be greater than the market price of nickel. This unfavorably impacted margins in the quarter, but with nickel market prices increasing, it impacted margins to a lesser extent than in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company cancelled the fixed price component of the agreement on volumes not covered by customer fixed price contracts.
The margin compression that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 began to lessen in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 due to an increase in volumes processed through the mill, which have resulted in improved absorption of fixed costs and a small margin expansion as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

(1) The Company defines backlog to include firm commitments from customers for delivery of product at established prices. Approximately 30% of the orders in the backlog at any given time include prices that are subject to adjustment based on changes in raw material costs. Historically, approximately 75% of the backlog orders have shipped within six months and approximately 90% have shipped within 12 months. The backlog figures do not reflect that portion of the business conducted at service and sales centers on a spot or just-in-time basis.
(2) Represents the average price for a cash buyer as reported by the London Metals Exchange for the 30 days ending on the last day of the period presented.
Backlog was $202.3 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately $22.1 million, or 12.3%, from $180.2 million at December 31, 2013. The backlog dollars increased during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 due to a 28.0% increase in backlog pounds partially offset by a 12.3% decrease in backlog average selling price. The increase in backlog during the second quarter resulted from increased order entry volumes partially offset by a reduced order entry pricing and a lower-value mix of products in the backlog.
Management believes that the improved order entry volumes are due to customers beginning the process of increasing their stock levels to accommodate the demand in the Companys end markets, along with the rise in nickel market prices. The backlog for all of the Companys major markets increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $115.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 10.7% from $129.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. Volume was 5.7 million pounds in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of 2.0% from 5.6 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2013. The aggregate average selling price was $20.27 per pound in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 12.4% from $23.15 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2013. Average selling price decreased primarily due to continued pricing competition, which represented approximately $1.55 of the decrease, lower market raw material prices, which represented approximately $0.67 of the decrease and a lower-value product mix, which represented approximately $0.45 of the decrease.
Sales to the aerospace market were $47.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 4.2% from $49.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a 14.7% decrease in the average selling price per pound partially offset by a 12.4% increase in volume. The increase in volume is due to a single project shipped in fiscal 2014 of lower-priced product in ingot form. The average selling price per pound decline reflects the impact of the lower-priced ingot project shipped, which represented approximately $1.62 of the decrease, along with a change in form and alloy mix excluding that project, which represented approximately $0.81 of the decrease. Additionally, the decline in the market prices of raw materials, which represented approximately $0.62 of the decrease, and competitive downward pressure on prices, which represented approximately $0.39 of the decrease, contributed to the declining average selling prices in the aerospace market for the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
Sales to the chemical processing market were $30.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 10.2% from $33.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a 16.0% decrease in the average selling price per pound partially offset by a 6.9% increase in volume. The increased volume resulted from higher activity in small project business that is beginning to improve. The decreased average selling price reflects the impact of competitive pricing on project orders, which represented approximately $4.31 of the decrease, and lower market prices for raw materials, which represented approximately $0.90 of the decrease. The decline in average selling price was partially offset by a change in form mix to higher value forms, which accounts for approximately $1.41 of an increase in the average selling price.
Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $21.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 28.1% from $30.2 million for the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a decrease of 14.1% in the average selling price per pound combined with a 16.3% decrease in volume. The decrease in volume reflects reduced original equipment manufacturer activity and lower levels of maintenance demand from the Companys customers. The decrease in average selling price reflected a change in form and alloy mix, which represented approximately $1.16 of the decrease, continued pricing competition in this market, which represented approximately $0.60 of the decrease, and lower raw material costs, which represented approximately $0.60 of the decrease.
Sales to other markets were $11.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 5.4% from $12.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a 19.0% decrease in the average selling price partially offset by a 16.9% increase in volume. The increase in volume is due to a large number of project orders shipped in fiscal 2014, which reflects the project-oriented nature of these markets. The decrease in the average selling price reflects a change to a lower-value product mix shipped into the other markets, which represented approximately $4.87 of the decrease, competitive pricing on projects, which represented approximately $1.10 of the decrease, and lower market raw material prices, which represented approximately $0.35 of the decrease.
Other Revenue. Other revenue was $4.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of 21.8% from $3.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. The increase is due to higher toll conversion and miscellaneous sales.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $106.3 million, or 92.1% of net revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $109.1 million, or 84.5% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2013. Cost of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased by $2.8 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 due to a lower cost mix of products and favorable absorption of manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher energy costs, primarily natural gas.
Gross Profit. As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $9.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $11.0 million, or 54.9%, from the same period of fiscal 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 7.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to 15.5% in the same period of fiscal 2013. The primary cause of the margin compression is price competition from weaker demand and lower industry capacity utilization. The remaining difference is attributable to unfavorable variances arising from lower volumes, higher-cost inventory charged to cost of sales with falling raw materials and the impact of a fixed price nickel agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase a portion of its nickel supply at a price that proved to be greater than the market price of nickel.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $9.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.7%, from $9.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. Included in this quarters expense was a $0.5 million reversal of reserves for incentive compensation plans compared to $0.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, partially offset by the accelerated vesting of restricted stock following the retirement of a director. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 8.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 7.3% for the same period of fiscal 2013 primarily due to decreased revenues.
Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $0.9 million, or 0.8% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Research and technical expense was $0.9 million, or 0.7% of revenue, for the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Operating Income/(Loss). As a result of the above factors, operating loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $1.3 million, a decrease of 113.3% compared to operating income of $9.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2013.
Income Taxes. Income taxes were a benefit of $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $3.5 million from an expense of $3.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was 4.7%, compared to 34.5% in the same period of fiscal 2013. The lower effective tax rate realized in the second quarter of 2014 is primarily attributable to a reduction in the Indiana tax rate, which resulted in a decrease to the deferred tax asset. This rate change had a $0.3 million unfavorable impact on tax expense during the quarter.
Net Income/(Loss). As a result of the above factors, net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 119.0%, from net income of $6.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2013.

Net Revenues. Net revenues were $209.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 14.1% from $243.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2013 due to decreases in both volume and average selling price per pound. Volume was 10.0 million pounds in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 2.5% from 10.3 million pounds in the same period of fiscal 2013. The aggregate average selling price was $20.88 per pound in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 12.0% from $23.72 per pound in the same period of fiscal 2013. Average selling price decreased primarily due to increased price competition, which represented approximately $1.65 of the decrease, lower market prices for raw materials, which represented approximately $0.67 of the decrease, and lower-value product mix, which represented approximately $0.45 of the decrease.
Sales to the aerospace market were $87.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 14.2% from $101.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a 5.9% decrease in volume combined with an 8.8% decrease in the average selling price per pound. The decrease in volume reflects the destocking of inventory that continued to impact the first half of fiscal 2014. The average selling price per pound decline reflects the impact of a large project of commodity ingot sales in the second quarter, which represented approximately $0.98 of the decrease, continued pricing competition, which represented approximately $0.54 of the decrease, and lower market raw material prices, which represented approximately $0.63 of the decrease.
Sales to the chemical processing market were $53.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 11.1% from $60.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to an 18.9% decrease in average selling price per pound partially offset by a 9.7% increase in volume. The increase in volume is reflective of increased activity with small projects in the first half of fiscal 2014. The decline in average selling price was predominately driven by pricing competition for project business, which represented approximately $3.80 of the decrease, and lower market prices for raw materials, which represented approximately $0.89 of the decrease.
Sales to the land-based gas turbine market were $39.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 24.5% from $52.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a decrease of 14.9% in the average selling price per pound combined with an 11.4% decrease in volume. Volumes decreased due to customers reducing inventory levels within the supply chain. The decline in average selling price is due to increased competition, which represented approximately $1.24 of the decrease, lower market prices for raw materials, which represented approximately $0.60 of the decrease, and a shift to lower value product mix, which represented approximately $0.72 of the decrease.
Sales to other markets were $20.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of 8.2% from $22.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to a 20.0% decrease in average selling price partially offset by a 14.8% increase in volume. The increase in volume is due to a large number of project orders shipped in fiscal 2014, which reflects the project-oriented nature of these markets. The decrease in average selling price reflects a change to a mix of lower-value alloys and forms sold into the other market category, which represented approximately $4.90 of the decrease, increased pricing competition, which represented approximately $1.31 of the decrease, and lower market raw material prices, which represented approximately $0.42 of the decrease.
Other Revenue. Other revenue was $7.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, an increase of 23.2% from $6.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2013, due to increased toll conversion and miscellaneous sales.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales was $194.7 million, or 93.2% of net revenues, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to $204.6 million, or 84.0% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2013. Cost of sales in the first six months of fiscal 2014 decreased by $9.9 million as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 due to lower volume and a lower value product mix partially offset by reduced absorption of manufacturing costs and higher-cost inventory charged to cost of sales.
Gross Profit. As a result of the above factors, gross profit was $14.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $24.5 million, or 63.2%, from the same period of fiscal 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue was 6.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to 16.0% in the same period of fiscal 2013. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is primarily attributable to increased price competition estimated to account for $16.5 million of the decrease. The remaining difference is attributable to unfavorable variances arising from lower volumes, higher-cost inventory charged to cost of sales with falling raw materials and the impact of a fixed price nickel agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase a portion of its nickel supply at a price that proved to be greater than the market price of nickel.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $19.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2014, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.1%, from $19.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased to 9.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to 7.9% for the same period of fiscal 2013 primarily due to decreased revenues.
Research and Technical Expense. Research and technical expense was $1.8 million, or 0.8% of revenue, for the first six months of fiscal 2014. Research and technical expense was $1.7 million, or 0.7% of net revenues, in the same period of fiscal 2013.
Operating Income / (Loss). As a result of the above factors, operating loss in the first six months of fiscal 2014 was $6.9 million, a decrease of 138.4% compared to operating income of $17.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2013.
Income Taxes. Income taxes were a benefit of $2.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $7.8 million from a $5.7 million provision in the same period of fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2014 was 31.1%, compared to 31.6% in the same period of fiscal 2013.
Net Income / (Loss). As a result of the above factors, net loss in the first six months of fiscal 2014 was $4.7 million, a decrease of $17.0 million, or 138.4%, from net income of $12.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2013.
Working Capital
Controllable working capital, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, was $254.0 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $19.4 million or 7.1% from $273.4 million at September 30, 2013. This decrease of $19.4 million resulted primarily from payables increasing $22.5 million due to the purchase of raw materials and accounts receivable decreasing $3.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, offset by inventory increasing $5.3 million during the same period. Inventory has increased in response to the higher level of backlog.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Comparative Cash Flow Analysis
During the first six months of fiscal 2014, the Companys primary sources of liquidity were cash on-hand and cash from operations, as detailed below. At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $62.1 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $68.3 million at September 30, 2013.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $29.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2013. Items contributing to the difference included a $17.0 million difference between a net loss of $4.7 million in fiscal 2014 compared to net income of $12.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2013 and an $8.6 million decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. These reductions were partially offset by a $22.6 million increase in cash provided by accounts payable and accrued expense balances (net of foreign currency fluctuation) compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Net cash used in investing activities was $24.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to $22.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2013 included a $5.4 million of dividend payments, consistent with the first six months of fiscal 2013.
Future sources of liquidity
The Companys sources of liquidity for fiscal 2014 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on-hand and, if needed, borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash of $62.1 million, an outstanding balance of zero on the U.S. revolving credit facility and access to a total of approximately $120.0 million under the U.S. revolving credit facility, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves that could limit the Companys borrowing to approximately $105.0 million. Management believes that the resources described above will be sufficient to fund planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.
U.S. Revolving Credit Facility
The Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (Wells Fargo), successor by merger to Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central) (Wachovia), entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the Amended Agreement) with certain other lenders with an effective date of July 14, 2011. The maximum revolving loan amount under the Amended Agreement is $120.0 million, subject to a borrowing base formula and certain reserves. The Amended Agreement permits an increase in the maximum revolving loan amount from $120.0 million up to an aggregate amount of $170.0 million at the request of the borrowers. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at either Wells Fargos prime rate, plus up to 0.75% per annum, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate used by the lender, plus up to 2.0% per annum. As of March 31, 2014, the U.S. revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of zero. In addition, the Company must pay monthly, in arrears, a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused amount of the U.S. revolving credit facility
total commitment. For letters of credit, the Company must pay 1.5% per annum on the daily outstanding balance of all issued letters of credit, plus customary fees for issuance, amendments and processing. The Company is subject to certain covenants as to fixed charge coverage ratios and other customary covenants, including covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness, the granting of liens and the sale of assets. The covenant pertaining to fixed charge coverage ratios is only effective in the event the amount of excess availability under the revolver is less than 12.5% of the maximum credit revolving loan amount. The Company is permitted to pay dividends and repurchase common stock if certain financial metrics are met (which do not apply in the case of dividends less than $20.0 million in the aggregate in a year and repurchases in connection with the vesting of shares of restricted stock). The U.S. revolving credit facility matures on July 14, 2016. Borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the U.S. assets of the Company, including the equity interests in its U.S. subsidiaries, but excluding the four-high Steckel rolling mill and related assets, which are pledged to Titanium Metals Corporation to secure the performance of the Companys obligations under a Conversion Services Agreement with TIMET (see discussion of TIMET at Note 7 in the Companys Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q). The U.S. revolving credit facility is also secured by a pledge of a 65% equity interest in each of the Companys direct foreign subsidiaries.
Future uses of liquidity
The Companys primary uses of cash over the next twelve months are expected to consist of expenditures related to:

(1) As of March 31, 2014, the revolver balance was zero, therefore no interest is due. However, the Company is obligated to the lenders for unused line fees and quarterly management fees.
(2) The Company has a funding obligation to contribute $64,214 to the domestic pension plan and expects its U.K. subsidiary to contribute $970 in less than one year to the U.K. Pension Plan. These payments will be tax deductible. All benefit payments under the domestic pension plan are provided by the plan and not the Company.
(3) Represents expected post-retirement benefits only based upon anticipated timing of payments.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Assumptions and estimates were based on the facts and circumstances known at March 31, 2014. However, future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. The accounting policies discussed in Item 7 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 are considered by management to be the most important to an understanding of the financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on managements judgment and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are also discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of that report. There have been no material changes to that information since the end of fiscal 2013.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of March 31, 2014, there were no material changes in the market risks described in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company has performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness and the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.
Effective January 1, 2014 the Company implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP information technology solution for the following functions in the US operations: procurement, accounts payable and general ledger modules. The implementation of these ERP modules and the related workflow capabilities resulted in material changes to the Companys internal controls over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Therefore, modifications to the design and documentation of internal control processes and procedures relating to the new system to replace and supplement existing internal controls over financial reporting were made as appropriate. Evaluation of the operating effectiveness of these internal controls will be done at a later date. The system changes were undertaken to integrate systems and consolidated information, and were not undertaken in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
There were no other changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
