Schnitzer Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Positive Segment Operating Performance and Strong Operating Cash Flow
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2016--
Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCHN) today reported financial
results for its fiscal 2016 first quarter ended November 30, 2015. Both
operating divisions, Auto and Metals Recycling (AMR) and Steel
Manufacturing Business (SMB), generated positive operating income in the
first quarter due to contributions from cost reduction and productivity
initiatives which offset the margin compression caused by the sharp
decline in market selling prices and volumes during the quarter. The
Company generated quarterly operating cash flow of $41 million, reduced
net debt to its lowest level in the last five years, and returned
capital to shareholders through its quarterly dividend and share
repurchases.
The Company reported an adjusted loss per share from continuing
operations of $0.13 for the first quarter which included an estimated
adverse impact from average inventory accounting of approximately $7
million, or $0.20 per share. This compares to first quarter fiscal 2015
adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.11 which
included an estimated adverse impact from average inventory accounting
of approximately $9 million, or $0.23 per share. Adjusted earnings per
share in both periods excludes restructuring expense and, for the first
quarter of fiscal 2015, also excluded a $0.16 adverse impact from
reselling or modifying the terms of certain previously contracted bulk
ferrous shipments. The Company reported a loss per share from continuing
operations of $0.19 for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 which compares
to a $0.06 loss per share from continuing operations in the prior year
period.
The Company continued to deliver on its previously announced $60 million
in annual cost reduction and productivity initiatives and identified
further actions and synergies to increase this target by approximately
10%. The Company achieved $16 million of benefits from these initiatives
in the first quarter.
"Despite severe market headwinds, we delivered positive operating income
in both our operating divisions through continued focus on delivering
savings from our cost reduction and productivity initiatives as well as
from reductions in our variable costs. We also continued to generate
strong operating cash flow and to return capital to our shareholders through
our dividend and share repurchases," said Tamara Lundgren, President and
Chief Executive Officer. "While market conditions remained challenging,
reflecting significant adverse impacts from a high level of steel
imports, overproduction of iron ore, the strong U.S. dollar, low global
growth and customer de-stocking in the face of falling prices, our first
quarter results reflect our ability to maintain positive metal spreads
in a declining market, our focus on managing our costs and working
capital efficiency, and the flexibility of our platform to quickly meet
changing demand dynamics in the domestic and export markets," added
Lundgren.

Volumes: Ferrous sales volumes in the first quarter
declined 13% from the fourth quarter primarily due to weaker domestic
demand and the falling price environment. Nonferrous sales volumes
decreased 37% sequentially, reflecting weaker global market demand, the
stronger U.S. dollar, lower production, and the timing of shipments.
Cars purchased by our auto stores decreased 13% from the fourth quarter
due to tighter supply flows driven by the sharp drop in commodity prices.
Export customers accounted for 64% of total ferrous sales volumes in the
first quarter. Our ferrous and nonferrous products were exported to 12
countries, with Turkey, India and South Korea the top export
destinations for ferrous shipments.
Pricing: Market prices for ferrous shipments declined
steadily during the quarter, falling by as much as $65 per ton, or 30%
from the end of August through November. Based on shipments, our average
ferrous net sales prices decreased $52 per ton, or 23%, during the first
quarter from fourth quarter levels. Weaker demand for ferrous metals in
the domestic market resulted primarily from lower domestic steel mill
utilization rates and increased competition from steel imports. In the
export markets, stronger demand from Turkey and India partially offset
softer demand in other regions. Average nonferrous sales prices in the
first quarter declined 11%.
Margins: Adjusted operating income of $3 per ferrous ton
in the first quarter decreased from the fourth quarter due to
significantly lower ferrous and nonferrous prices and volumes. Operating
income includes benefits of approximately $14 million achieved from cost
reductions and productivity initiatives which significantly offset
margin compression created by the materially lower price environment.
These benefits were offset by an estimated $7 million, or $8 per ton
adverse impact from average inventory accounting. The prior year first
quarter included an estimated $9 million, or $9 per ton adverse impact
from average inventory accounting.

Sales Volumes: Finished steel sales volumes were similar
to the sales volumes in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, but were 15%
lower sequentially due to seasonally slower demand and the impact of
increased competition from imported steel products. Lower rolling mill
utilization reflected the softer sales environment.
Pricing: Average net sales prices for finished steel
products decreased 19% from the prior year first quarter and 8% from
fourth quarter levels, reflecting continued pressure on finished steel
selling prices from lower scrap input costs and imported steel products
which, together, more than offset improving demand from West Coast
construction markets.
Margins: SMB's positive operating income of $3 million
decreased sequentially due to the declining selling price environment
and the lower sales volumes. Compared to the prior year, operating
income was lower due to the adverse impact of the decline in selling
prices for finished steel.
Corporate Items
In connection with the cost reduction initiatives, the Company incurred
restructuring charges and other exit-related costs of $2 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2016.
During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 203 thousand shares of
Class A common stock. Since July, total repurchases of 271 thousand
shares represent 1% of the Company's Class A common stock. Net debt of
$185 million at the end of the first quarter was $21 million lower than
at the end of fiscal 2015. (See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for
reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.)
The Company's effective tax rate was a benefit of 10.5% in the first
quarter which was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to
projected changes in the Company's full valuation allowance positions,
partially offset by increases in deferred tax liabilities.
Analysts' Conference Call: First Quarter of Fiscal 2016

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as
defined under SEC rules such as adjusted consolidated operating income
(loss), adjusted AMR operating income (loss), adjusted net income (loss)
from continuing operations attributable to SSI and adjusted diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations 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 adjusted non-GAAP financial measures
provides a meaningful presentation of the Company's results from its
core business operations excluding adjustments for a goodwill impairment
charge, other asset impairment charges and restructuring and other
exit-related costs 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. In addition, to
improve comparability of our operating performance between periods,
these measures also exclude the impact on operating results in fiscal
2015 from the resale or modification of the terms during the first and
second quarters of 2015 of certain previously contracted ferrous bulk
shipments. Due to the sharp decline in selling prices that occurred
during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2015, the revised prices
associated with these shipments were significantly lower than the prices
in the original sales contracts entered into between August and November
2014. Further, management believes that debt, net of cash is a useful
measure for investors because, as cash and cash equivalents can be used,
among other things, to repay indebtedness, netting this against total
debt is a useful measure of our leverage. 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 future events or our expectations, intentions, beliefs and
strategies regarding the future, which may include statements regarding
trends, cyclicality and changes in the markets we sell into; expected
results, including pricing, sales volumes and profitability; strategic
direction; changes to manufacturing and production processes; the cost
of and the status of any agreements or actions related to our 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; obligations under our retirement plans; benefits,
savings or additional costs from business realignment, cost containment
and productivity improvement programs; and the adequacy of accruals.
Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to
different degrees, uncertain, and often contain words such as
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "assumes," "estimates,"
"evaluates," "may," "will," "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 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 "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our most recent annual report on
Form 10-K and in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Examples of these
risks include: potential environmental cleanup costs related to the
Portland Harbor Superfund site; the cyclicality and 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; imbalances in supply and demand conditions in the
global steel industry; the impact of goodwill impairment charges; the
impact of long-lived asset impairment charges; the realization of
expected benefits or cost reductions associated with productivity
improvements and restructuring initiatives; difficulties associated with
acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; customer
fulfillment of their contractual obligations; the impact of foreign
currency fluctuations; potential limitations on our ability to access
capital resources and existing credit facilities; restrictions on our
business and financial covenants under our bank credit agreement; the
impact of the consolidation in the steel industry; inability to realize
expected benefits from investments in technology; freight rates and
availability of transportation; impact of equipment upgrades and
failures on production; product liability claims; the impact of
impairment of our deferred tax assets; the impact of a cybersecurity
incident; 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.
