Schnitzer Reports Strong Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Financial Results and Significant Sequential and Year-to-Date Growth
Sequential Quarterly Revenues Up 36%, Operating Income Up 20%, and Diluted EPS Up 6%
YTD Revenues Up 43%, Operating Income Up 28% and Diluted EPS Up 28%
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2011--Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCHN) today reported diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.17 for its fiscal 2011 third quarter ended May 31, 2011. This compares with diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.43 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and $1.10 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Schnitzer reported fiscal 2011 year-to-date revenues of $2.4 billion, operating income of $130 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.91.
“We are pleased to report another strong quarter of performance with revenues and operating income up sequentially by 36% and 20%, respectively. Year-to-date we have generated a 43% increase in revenues and a 28% increase in operating income,” said Tamara Lundgren, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our results demonstrate a steady upward trend throughout fiscal 2011, driven by continued global demand for our recycled metal products as well as the early contributions from our recent acquisitions."
“We closed two acquisitions during the third quarter, bringing the total to ten acquisitions year-to-date,” said Lundgren. “We have begun to realize the benefits of the additional market scale from these investments. We are on track to achieve the operational synergies from the new facilities we have added in the last nine months, and we are focused on implementing the longer-term growth strategies associated with our investments.”

Third quarter diluted earnings per share were negatively impacted by ($0.03) sequentially due to an increase in our effective tax rate to 34.6%.
As compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, earnings per share this quarter were lower primarily because third quarter fiscal 2010 results benefited from a sharp increase in selling prices while average inventory costs rose more slowly. As a result, margins expanded significantly in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. This effect reversed in the fourth quarter of last year when sales prices declined.
Key business drivers during the third quarter of fiscal 2011:
- Metals Recycling Business (MRB) operating income increased 10% compared to the second quarter and included early contributions from our recent acquisitions. Global demand continued to drive higher average sales prices and volumes for both ferrous and nonferrous metals. Ferrous volumes were a third quarter record and nonferrous volumes were an all-time quarterly record.
- Auto Parts Business (APB) operating income increased 9% compared to the second quarter. Car purchases and parts sales increased significantly, reflecting contributions from both organic and acquisition growth.
- Steel Manufacturing Business (SMB) delivered third quarter operating income of $3 million due to seasonal improvements in demand and higher average sales prices.
Metals Recycling Business
Our Metals Recycling Business continued to deliver strong operating results, increasing ferrous volumes by 22% and nonferrous volumes by 11% year-to-date.

“It was a particularly dynamic quarter for MRB from an operational perspective, reflecting the ongoing integration of seven acquisitions and initial production from our new nonferrous separation equipment at our four major export facilities. In addition, we shipped record ferrous and nonferrous volumes during the quarter," said Lundgren. “Sustained global demand continued to drive strong prices, and we have generated a 16% increase in year-to-date operating income as compared to the prior year.”
Sales Volumes: Ferrous sales volumes increased 25% to 1.5 million tons compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to increased supply flows and incremental volumes from recent acquisitions. Nonferrous sales volumes increased 16% compared to the prior year quarter, benefiting from increased production from the early contributions from recent acquisitions and enhanced processing technologies.
Export customers accounted for 78% of total ferrous sales volumes. Our ferrous and nonferrous products were shipped to 18 countries in the third quarter. The top export destinations were South Korea, China and Turkey.
Pricing: Increased demand in both the export and domestic markets contributed to higher average ferrous net sales prices during the third quarter as compared to the prior year. Nonferrous prices also improved during the third quarter due to stronger demand, particularly for copper and aluminum. Average ferrous and nonferrous prices increased 16% and 19%, respectively, compared to prices in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Revenues increased 42% compared to the prior year quarter and 38% sequentially driven by higher volumes and increased selling prices for both ferrous and nonferrous metals.
Margins: Operating income per ferrous ton was $31 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 11% from the fiscal 2010 average of $28. The operating income per ferrous ton was lower sequentially primarily due to a $4 per ton net benefit from a customer contract settlement in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. In addition, operating income per ferrous ton was adversely impacted by purchase accounting and transaction expenses related to our acquisitions.
Metals Recycling Business: Outlook
The following summary of management's outlook for the Metals Recycling Business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is subject to uncertainty that may affect future results.
Sales Volumes: Ferrous sales volumes are expected to approximate the strong third quarter levels. Nonferrous volumes are expected to increase approximately 10% from third quarter levels. As always, quarterly sales volumes are highly dependent upon the timing of shipments.
Pricing: Ferrous average net selling prices are expected to approximate third quarter levels. Nonferrous average net selling prices are expected to decline slightly from third quarter levels.
Margins: Operating income per ferrous ton is expected to be slightly higher than the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Auto Parts Business
Our Auto Parts Business continued to deliver strong operating results in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, maintaining operating margins of 20%.

“APB once again demonstrated its ability to deliver operational growth, increasing car purchases 15% sequentially through a balanced contribution of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, while maintaining strong profitability,” said Lundgren. “We also benefited from seasonal increases in parts sales and admissions due to spring weather.”
Revenues: Revenues increased 29% from the prior year quarter and 27% year-to-date compared to fiscal 2010. Both comparisons reflect the impact of higher commodity prices on revenues from scrap and core sales and benefits from the acquisitions completed during fiscal 2011.
Margins: Operating margins of 20% continued the strong performance achieved in both the first half of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.
Auto Parts Business: Outlook
The following summary of management's outlook for the Auto Parts Business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is subject to uncertainty that may affect future results.
Revenues: Revenues are expected to approximate the third quarter of 2011.
Margins: Fourth quarter operating margins are expected to decline moderately from the third quarter of 2011 due to normal seasonal declines in admissions and parts sales and higher inventory costs but to exceed the margins achieved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.
Steel Manufacturing Business
In the third quarter, our Steel Manufacturing Business benefited from increased sales volumes due to higher seasonal demand and lower customer inventory levels.
“Our Steel Manufacturing Business achieved operating profitability for the quarter and year-to-date, primarily driven by higher sales prices and increased mill utilization,” said Lundgren. “We expect to continue to benefit from the normal seasonal improvement in construction activity during the summer months and to maximize value from our product diversification and operational efficiencies.”
Sales Volumes: Finished steel sales volumes of 118 thousand tons increased 19% from the second quarter, but decreased 10% from the prior year quarter and 4% year-to-date.
Pricing: Average net sales prices for finished steel products increased 16% compared to the prior year quarter and 19% as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
Margins: Higher sales prices resulted in 4% operating margins during the quarter and positive operating margins year-to-date.

Steel Manufacturing Business: Outlook
The following summary of management's outlook for the Steel Manufacturing Business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is subject to uncertainty that may affect future results.
Sales Volumes: Sales volumes are expected to approximate the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Pricing: Average net sales prices are expected to approximate the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Margins: Fourth quarter operating margins are expected to approximate the levels achieved during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Corporate Items
The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter of 34.6% was higher than anticipated due to the timing of tax benefits and the mix of domestic and foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the remainder of the fiscal year is expected to be 33.6%.
On a year-to-date basis, other income included $3 million from realized transaction gains in the second quarter relating to foreign currency forward contracts associated with a Canadian acquisition which closed in March.
Total debt increased from the second quarter by $151 million to $472 million, primarily reflecting acquisitions and capital expenditures during the third quarter.

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, expected 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 are the following: volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in the markets for both our products and raw materials we purchase; world economic conditions; world political conditions; our ability to match raw material intake and finished product output with demand; changes in income tax laws; government regulations and environmental matters; the impact of pending or new laws and regulations regarding imports into and exports from the United States and other countries; foreign currency fluctuations; competition; seasonality, including weather; energy supplies; freight rates and availability of transportation; loss of key personnel; the inability to obtain sufficient quantities of scrap metal to support current orders; purchase price estimates made during acquisitions; business integration issues relating to acquisitions of businesses; creditworthiness of and availability of credit to suppliers and customers; new accounting pronouncements; availability of capital resources; business disruptions resulting from installation or replacement of major capital assets; natural disasters and disturbances; and the adverse impact of climate change, including as a result of treaties, legislation or regulations, 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. The Company does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as may be required by law.
