Schnitzer Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter Revenues $762 million, Adjusted Diluted EPS $0.10 and
Cash From Operations $108 million
Full Year Revenues $3.3 billion, Adjusted Diluted EPS $1.11 and Cash
From Operations $245 million
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2012--
Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCHN) today reported adjusted
diluted earnings per share of $0.10, excluding a $5 million pre-tax
restructuring charge ($0.12 per diluted share) associated with
initiatives announced in August. Including the restructuring charge, the
Company reported a loss per share of $(0.02) for the fourth quarter
ended August 31, 2012. This compares with diluted earnings per share of
$1.31 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For the 2012 fiscal year,
Schnitzer reported full year revenues of $3.3 billion, compared to $3.5
billion in fiscal 2011, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of
$1.11, excluding the fourth quarter restructuring charge, compared to
$4.23 in fiscal 2011. Including the restructuring charge, reported
diluted earnings per share were $0.99 for fiscal 2012. Fourth quarter
financial results exceeded the Company's recent market outlook primarily
due to the achievement of higher than anticipated operational
performance in August in our Metals Recycling and Auto Parts businesses.
Our quarterly financial performance was adversely impacted by a rapid
decline in selling prices at the beginning of the quarter while the
supply of scrap continued to be constrained by weak US GDP growth. As a
result of these conditions, average inventory costs did not decline as
quickly as cash purchase costs for raw materials, resulting in margin
compression. Average inventory costs adversely impacted consolidated
operating income by approximately $30 million compared to the third
quarter, with nearly two-thirds of this impact affecting our Metals
Recycling Business.

“Amid significant global economic uncertainty and declining prices
throughout the year, we delivered strong cash flow and relatively stable
volumes, demonstrating the flexibility and resiliency of our platform.
Despite the challenging market conditions, we generated $245 million in
operating cash flow during fiscal 2012 which enabled us to reduce our
net leverage to 18% by fiscal year end while returning capital to
shareholders through a significant dividend increase and the repurchase
of 1.1 million in outstanding shares," said Tamara Lundgren, President
and Chief Executive Officer.
"During the fourth quarter, we undertook initiatives in order to extract
greater synergies from the significant investments we made in fiscal
2011, to further integrate our Metals Recycling and Auto Parts
Businesses, and to reduce our cost base. We expect to drive $25 million
in annualized pre-tax savings through the implementation of these
initiatives and the benefits of our more streamlined organization. In
fiscal 2013, we will continue to focus on maximizing value through our
growth strategy of expanding our Metals Recycling export platform and
our Auto Parts business and enhancing performance through advanced
technologies, operational synergies and continuous improvement
initiatives."
Key business drivers during fiscal 2012:
-
Metals Recycling Business (MRB) shipped 5.1 million ferrous tons and
629 million nonferrous pounds while continuing to execute our strategy
for growth through investment in our Western Canada facilities,
achieving higher nonferrous yields and delivering enhanced operational
synergies.
-
Auto Parts Business (APB) focused on maximizing throughput across its
51 locations, generating an 11% operating margin on an aggregate of
339 thousand cars purchased.
-
Steel Manufacturing Business (SMB) achieved slightly below break-even
operating performance.

Sales Volumes: Ferrous sales volumes of 1.2 million tons
in the fourth quarter decreased 13% from third quarter levels, primarily
due to reduced flows of raw materials resulting from the lower price
environment and unusually hot weather. Nonferrous sales volumes of 169
million pounds increased 10% sequentially, primarily due to the impact
of increased shipments in August.
Export customers accounted for 78% of total ferrous sales volumes in the
fourth quarter. Our ferrous and nonferrous products were shipped to 18
countries, with Turkey, South Korea and Taiwan the top export
destinations.
Pricing: Demand softened in the export markets in early
June, driving average ferrous net sales prices in the fourth quarter
down $46 per ton, or 11%, from third quarter levels. Nonferrous prices
decreased 7% in the fourth quarter sequentially primarily due to lower
commodity prices.
Margins: Operating income per ferrous ton was $11 in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, slightly below the third quarter.
Operating performance exceeded our fourth quarter market outlook due to
higher than anticipated nonferrous shipments. Overall, the fourth
quarter was impacted significantly by the adverse effect of average
inventory accounting and the impact of lower volumes on unit costs,
partly offset by improved cash metal spreads generated in the early part
of the quarter and reduced SG&A which included a decrease in
environmental liabilities of $2 million.

Revenues: Revenues in the fourth quarter decreased 14%
sequentially primarily due to the impact of falling commodity prices and
seasonally lower admissions.
Margins: Operating margins during the fourth quarter were
compressed by the significant negative impact from average inventory
accounting, as well as effects of falling commodity prices on sales and
the seasonal impact of hot weather on admissions. Operating performance
exceeded our fourth quarter market outlook due to higher than
anticipated ferrous and nonferrous sales volumes.

Sales Volumes: Finished steel sales volumes of 126
thousand tons increased 22% from the third quarter and approximated the
prior year quarter.
Pricing: Average net sales prices for finished steel
products decreased 7% primarily due to the impact on selling prices of
decreases in the cost of raw materials.
Margins: Higher volumes were offset by lower selling
prices which, combined with unscheduled downtime and an adverse impact
of average inventory accounting, resulted in an operating loss of $3
million during the fourth quarter.
Cost Reductions
In August, we announced initiatives targeted to generate greater
synergies from our fiscal 2011 investments and to realign our
organization by further integrating our Metals Recycling and Auto Parts
Businesses, streamlining our corporate functions, and reducing
organizational layers. These initiatives are expected to lower annual
pre-tax operating costs by $25 million. Total restructuring charges are
expected to be approximately $12 million pre-tax. During the fourth
quarter, we incurred $5 million of the restructuring charge, or
approximately $0.12 diluted earnings per share. We expect to recognize
the balance during fiscal 2013. The restructuring charges primarily
represent cash costs of $4 million from the elimination of approximately
300 positions, $5 million from contract termination costs, primarily
from the consolidation of certain administrative offices, and $3 million
of other costs associated with the restructuring.
Corporate Items
During the quarter, the Company generated strong operating cash flows of
$108 million. For fiscal year 2012, operating cash flows of $245 million
enabled the Company to reduce debt by $69 million to $335 million while
investing $85 million in capital expenditures and acquisitions, and
returning $45 million to shareholders through share repurchases and
higher dividend payments.
The Company's effective tax rate for the fiscal year 2012 was 32.7%.
This was slightly lower than the third quarter rate due to state tax
benefits in the fourth quarter. Corporate SG&A in the fourth quarter
included a reduction in compensation accruals of $2 million.
Analysts' Conference Call: Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2012
A conference call and slide presentation to discuss results will be held
today, October 25, 2012, at 11:30 a.m. EDT 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.
Summary financial data is provided in the following pages. The slides
and related materials will be available prior to the call on the website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as
defined under SEC rules such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net
income attributable to SSI and adjusted diluted earnings per share
attributable to SSI. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided
reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable U.S.
GAAP measures. Management believes that each of the foregoing non-GAAP
financial measures provides a meaningful presentation of the Company's
results from its core business operations excluding adjustments for
restructuring charges that are not related to the Company's ongoing core
business operations and improves the period-to-period comparability of
the Company's results from its core business operations. 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.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
Statements and information included in this press release that are not
purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are made pursuant
to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Except as noted herein or as the context may
otherwise require, all references to “we,” “our,” “us” and “SSI” refer
to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Forward-looking statements in this press release include statements
regarding our expectations, intentions, beliefs and strategies regarding
the future, including statements regarding trends, cyclicality and
changes in the markets we sell into; strategic direction; changes to
manufacturing and production processes; the cost of compliance with
environmental and other laws; expected tax rates, deductions and
credits; the realization of deferred tax assets; planned capital
expenditures; liquidity positions; ability to generate cash from
continuing operations; the potential impact of adopting new accounting
pronouncements; expected results, including pricing, sales volumes and
profitability; obligations under our retirement plans; savings or
additional costs from business realignment and cost containment
programs; and the adequacy of accruals.
When used in this report, the words “believes,” “expects,”
“anticipates,” “intends,” “assumes,” “estimates,” “evaluates,” “may,”
“could,” “opinions,” “forecasts,” “future,” “forward,” “potential,”
“probable,” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
We may make other forward-looking statements from time to time,
including in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
press releases and 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. Our
business is subject to the effects of changes in domestic and global
economic conditions and a number of other risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in,
or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Some of these risks and
uncertainties are discussed in "Risk Factors" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our
quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Examples of these risks include:
potential environmental cleanup costs related to the Portland Harbor
Superfund site; the impact of general economic conditions; 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 realization of expected cost
reductions related to restructuring initiatives; the inability of
customers to fulfill their contractual obligations; the impact of
foreign currency fluctuations; potential limitations on our ability to
access capital resources and existing 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.
