Second Quarter 2020 Highlights
“Second
quarter shipments and value added revenue reflect the impact of lower
demand across our end markets due to the effects of COVID-19,” said
Keith A. Harvey, President and Chief Operating Officer. “As we
experienced rapid changes in business conditions, we executed on our
business model and aggressively flexed costs and operating levels at our
facilities in response to lower demand. Although there is often a lag
with certain cost and related benefits, our highly variable cost
structure allows us to react quickly, and flex costs through the cycles.
Despite the decline in end market demand, pricing has held steady,” said
Mr. Harvey.
Demand for the Company’s large commercial aerospace applications
declined as Boeing and Airbus temporarily halted production and
curtailed deliveries, while demand for defense applications continued to
remain strong as the F-35 and other legacy fighter programs remained
robust. The Company’s general engineering business showed good
resiliency as demand for high performance KaiserSelect® products, along
with solid support from the Company’s long-term customers, helped create
additional pull for its products during the quarter. Demand for
automotive applications significantly eroded during the second quarter
as virtually all automotive assembly plants in North America temporarily
shut down due to COVID-19 concerns. Although most automotive
manufacturers resumed operations in June, restarts were slow and uneven
throughout the supply chain as facilities continued to deal with
COVID-19 outbreaks.
As discussed during the Company’s first quarter earnings call, Kaiser’s
longstanding business cycle strategy has consistently focused on being
well prepared for unexpected economic adversity. In April, the Company
issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% unsecured senior
notes due 2025 to further strengthen its liquidity and financial
flexibility. With approximately $1.0 billion of total liquidity, the
Company has a strong safety net to navigate the current economic
environment, proactively respond in an economic recovery, and capitalize
on attractive investment opportunities.
Outlook
As the Company noted on the first quarter earnings call, value added
revenue for large commercial aerospace and defense applications is
anticipated to be down approximately 15% to 20% from record full year
2019 results. The two businesses combined represent approximately 50% of
the Company’s total value added revenue.
“For
the second half 2020, we anticipate total value added revenue will be
down approximately 10% to 15% from the second quarter pace, with EBITDA
margin in the mid-teens,” said Mr. Harvey. “Compared to the second
quarter pace, we expect value added revenue for aerospace and high
strength applications will be weak in the second half as large
commercial aerospace shipments were heavily weighted to the first half
of 2020. We expect normal seasonal demand weakness for our general
engineering applications and anticipate a strong rebound for our
automotive applications to value added revenue similar to the first
quarter pace as customers return to more normal operations, and new
program launches resume. Our second half outlook for value added revenue
and EBITDA margin anticipates a weaker third quarter than fourth quarter
due to timing of aerospace shipments and approximately $4 million of
higher major maintenance costs related to timing of planned projects.
“As
previously noted during our first quarter earnings call, in April we
began limiting capital spending to critical sustaining projects only;
however, with ample liquidity and more visibility for our end markets,
we will proactively initiate capital spending on a number of organic
investment opportunities to further support our automotive growth and
enhance efficiencies throughout our operations. We anticipate that total
capital spending for the full year 2020 will be approximately $50 to $60
million,” concluded Mr. Harvey.
