CANTON, Ohio: February 25, 2021 - TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST), a leader in customized alloy steel products and services, today reported fourth-quarter 2020 net sales of $211.2 million and a net loss of $12.8 million. In the same quarter last year, net sales were $226.9 million with net loss of $84.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $20.7 million compared with an adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ loss of $8.7 million in the same quarter last year.

“I’d like to thank the employees of TimkenSteel who worked tirelessly throughout 2020, under challenging conditions, to support our customers’ needs while making significant progress on improving our cost structure and processes. These actions are helping to transform our company and will better position us to leverage improving end markets as we enter 2021,” said Mike Williams, president and chief executive officer. “In 2020, the TimkenSteel team delivered improved adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ and strong operating cash flow while, most importantly, achieving excellent safety performance.

“Our 2021 priorities are clear – improve our commercial effectiveness, enhance manufacturing efficiencies, and streamline business processes while continuing to take out unnecessary costs. We remain deeply focused on creating value for our shareholders through improved profitability and an intense focus on cash,” stated Williams.

Throughout 2020, the company operated its manufacturing assets as demand required. In particular, the Harrison melt and casting assets operated at an average utilization rate of less than 25 percent in 2020. To improve the company’s manufacturing efficiency and utilization, we plan to indefinitely idle the Harrison melt and casting assets late in the first quarter of 2021 and perform all melting and casting activities at our Faircrest location, also located in Canton, Ohio. We are working collaboratively with our employees, suppliers, and a number of customers to ensure a well-organized and efficient transition. The company’s rolling and finishing operations at Harrison will not be impacted by this action. Annual cash savings from the indefinite idling of Harrison’s melt and casting shop are expected to be in the range of $15 million to $20 million, with full run-rate savings expected to be achieved beginning in 2022.

As of December 31, 2020, the company’s cash balance totaled $102.8 million, benefitting from another quarter of solid operating cash flow generation in the amount of $52.5 million. For the full-year 2020, operating cash flow totaled $173.5 million. This strong operating cash flow generation enabled the company to repay the remaining $20 million of outstanding borrowings on its credit facility during the fourth quarter of 2020 and repay $90 million of outstanding borrowings in total during 2020. Additionally, the company improved its capital structure in the fourth quarter of 2020 by extending the maturity of $46 million of convertible notes from 2021 to 2025. Total liquidity was $314.1 million as of December 31, 2020, an improvement of $34.1 million from September 30, 2020 and $83.8 million from December 31, 2019.

Given the extent and uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and TimkenSteel’s customers, the company is not providing quantitative earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2021. We are, however, encouraged by recent improvements in automotive and industrial end market demand.

The company will host a conference call at 9 a.m. ET on Friday, February 26, to discuss its financial performance with investors and securities analysts. The financial results will be available online at investors.timkensteel.com.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ to GAAP Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities:

This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the company's financial position. Free cash flow is an important financial measure used in the management of the business. Management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of its business strategy.

⁽¹⁾ Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss)⁽³⁾ to GAAP net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share⁽¹⁾ to GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share and adjusted SG&A to GAAP SG&A for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and other adjusted items referred to below are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented. Management believes this data provides investors with additional useful information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of the company’s financial performance.

⁽¹⁾ Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and Common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards for the three months ended December 31, 2020, were included in the computation of adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share.

⁽²⁾ For the three months ended 2020, these adjustments have $0 net tax effect, since the company has Net Operating Loss carryforwards.

Management believes that reporting EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company's performance. Management also believes that it is appropriate to compare GAAP net income (loss) to EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Base Sales by end market sector to GAAP Net Sales by end-market sector:

The tables below present base sales by end-market sector, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Base sales by end-market sector is defined as net sales by end-market sector excluding raw material surcharges. Base Sales by end-market sector is an important financial measure used in the management of the business. Management believes presenting base sales by end-market sector is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into key drivers of base sales such as base price and product mix.
